Chapter 5

It was another creature, maybe. His hands, feet, arms and legs were all there but he was not like Joseph. It was as if a man had been given an iron robe and a helmet.

"It's not alive, Anna. It's your dress to go to the lab." She came forward slowly.

"Dress ...? Are you crazy? Or GOD... it looks like a man made of iron." Now she gently touched it. When she touched it, it shook a little and she jumped.

"Oh God ... it's shaking." She was still afraid of it.

"It feels like your touch. I designed it for you." He was proud to tell her that he had never done such a small thing himself. He was the king of the people of the planet and took the time to design a dress for Anahita so that she would not be in any trouble. But Anahita was unaware of this. She was still watching him. Joseph pointed and a part of it opened like a door from the front. The door was a little smaller than Anahita's.

"Bend down and go into it."

"Noway. I won't go in. I suffocate." She looked terrified.

"Ok." He shrugged and smiled.

Anahita knew his style. Joseph had the solution, so he shrugged and smiled.

The next moment, an unseen force pushed her inside the empty statue, which Joseph was calling a dress. Anahita thought it was a statue that was empty inside. Her head bowed automatically. He had once again made her believe that she was his slave. When the door closed, she started screaming.

"I'm suffocating Yusuf ... get me out of here." She began to walk helplessly with her hands and feet almost trapped in the statue.

"Oh God, relax ... be patient. There is an oxygen supply inside and the temperature is right. You breathe." Joseph nodded. She paused and took a deep breath. She really couldn't hold her breath.

"Oh God ... I thought I was going to die." She regained her breath.

"Can you hear me?" She suddenly realized how he was listening to her.

"I can hear, don't shout." He shouted louder. "Come with me quietly."

"I can't even shake it. How come?" She screamed again. 

"Oh God ... don't scream. Otherwise I'll lock you in it forever."

"Oh God, let him learn all my tricks. He should have learned the language from a good man who doesn't make threats." She gritted her teeth.

Joseph said something to the statue and he followed Anahita with him. Now she could walk comfortably. The statue was carrying its own weight and even her weight. She began to enjoy the ride.

"Thankfully it's running at human speed." She hadn't even finished thinking when he started walking at three times the speed.

"Oh God ... God asked you Joseph." She screams with all her might. As a result, it became faster and faster. Her head hit the windshield. The pain was excruciating.

"Ahh." She pressed her lips to her teeth.

"Don't scream. O GOD you think so loud that..." Joseph's voice echoed in her mind. He was in touch with her through the brain. When did he disappear from the front? Whatever he said without making a sound was also heard by Anahita.

"Okay, I won't scream anymore." She also said this out loud. Joseph took a deep breath and slowed down.

"Where are you Joseph?" After being silent for a while, she was afraid to see darkness everywhere. It was as if they had entered a deep cave where there was no way out.

"I am preparing to receive you. Come quietly."

She got angry but now she could not take the risk of saying anything with her tongue. The statue stopped in a very spacious room. There are many other people besides Joseph, Means there were aliens. They were all standing around a very long table. They all looked like human beings and they too, like Joseph, wore robes made of a very thick skin. And the number was as if people had gathered at a wedding. It must have been over three hundred. Anahita swallowed. They all looked like ordinary people, but they were aliens.

She went to Joseph. He was standing at the head chair and talking to them in an unfamiliar language that could only be heard vibrating. Maybe he was introducing her because he was pointing at Anahita and everyone bowed down and welcomed her. Her lips melted into a smile. It wasn't all that bad.

As soon as Anahita arrived, he brought a glass box and placed it on the table in front of her. Similar boxes were placed on the table in front of them. Anahita saw a beating heart through the mirror. Anahita opened her mouth and looked at the inboxes which were at least fifty. Was there a heart inside them all? Indeed.

She felt scared.

Anahita: "You killed so many people?" Her voice became moist.

Joseph: "More than that. The hearts of the rest have been sacrificed." He was speaking so casually that Anahita just stared at him.

Everyone else was busy looking at the heart. They also understood Joseph's gestures and obeyed his every command. Anahita guessed that Joseph was very important to them. They all seemed to be his soldiers. The reality was almost the same. They were all his junior scientists. And their status and importance was like that of the king's ministers and soldiers.

"Let's Start Anna"

He stood there and did something so that the words coming out of Anahita's lips were translated into his language and began to resound in this hall-like room.

"How did you do that?" She asked in surprise.

"It's a secret." She gritted her teeth.

She began to speak, and for hours she did not know how long she had been talking. Standing up, her legs began to shake, but she could not stop without Joseph's consent. They were not tired. When the voice lowered, she looked at Yusuf helplessly.

Yusuf motioned for her to stop and said something to them, they bowed down again and paid their respects to him and went out one by one.

The statue was returned to her as she had been brought.

Joseph came along. As soon as the door opened, she fell on the bed. She did not even dare to say anything to Joseph.  

"There was no lack of oxygen inside."

He was talking to her but she was lying quietly hiding her face in the pillow. Joseph watched her for a while and then went out.
