03. Escape

Then her father went into war campaign, she had started to live inside the Temple with priests and dancers. She spent her days with collecting pepper harvest. Some days she stayed near the main place inside while there were priests celebrations with plays, songs and dance. - Here nobody smiles, - she marked once inwardly. There were different priests levels. Fire priests were were old and awfully smelling. Preparing priests were young men, they played with armor and walked around perimeter during celebrations were. One of them has impossible blue eyes, more blue than spring sky color. She liked to look at him but never saw him besides celebrations. 

Priests lived separated from the dancers, she did not there inside that place. Her room was made from stones and was just 4 meters long. Her sleep place was also from stone with haruf pelt on it. At the end of this room was small aperture for fresh air and also small fire place. One morning she found some unusual food behind the door, inside banana leaf baked vegetables with taste she never tried before. Tomorrow another celebration was planned, - Perhaps, this food for celebration, - she had thought. At the night she started to sleep so sweet and suddenly at her room came that man, he left only than early birds were going to start theirs songs.. 

Usually she slept till the middle morning, that day she woke up at the same time, before daily sun gets their hottest. Near by door one of dancer waited for her. - You will be a part of celebration today. - Be ready, - she said and went away without waiting for any answer. They took her upper in front of double level building, near by oldest priests evening hall. The sun was so hot, but than that man have risen she had melted and felt so cold, same than she swam in a waterfall on the mountain. -Be ready, - his whisper was so touching. And he had a knife in his hands. Around that pyramid they had burn fires, but she felt only cold. He came near by, his lips were so near her lips.

All temple down was so crowded as she never saw before. After several seconds he embrace her hard and cut her sternum with knife from the right side, cutting subclavian artery inside. - Oh, - she said looking his eyes. He had the second knife from the stone. He thrust stone knife inside her heart between upper ribs and also cut veins and subclavian artery from the left. The stone galley at the bottom went down at the moment. Her stone portrait is still there.
