Just Why

As soon as I entered the room, I felt exhausted. I laid down on the bed and decided to sleep.

‎“You're kinda funny, Miss Witch. I am curious. What will you do? How would you stop it?”, her angelic voice echoed. We're still looking at the burning room. We stayed silent. Until I couldn't take it anymore. “Hey...if I ask you something would you give the right answer?”. She shrugged and gently said, “maybe, it depends on your question”. I continued, “why did you do it? Any reason?”. She didn't answer it. “Do you even plan to answer one question of mine?”, I said with annoyance.

‎She smirked, “well, honestly I can't even if I wanted to”. I already expected it. But I can't help but ask all the questions I have in mind. I sighed, “...fine, can I tell you the questions that are bothering me. We will start to investigate tomorrow but I still have questions, a lot of them.” I waited for her reply and when she stayed quiet for a while I decided to continue. “Your mother is so fond of  you, I can feel it. Your family is lively. The house is quiet but I can say that it was a nice and cozy place filled with love and happiness. So I don't understand why? Just why? Did something happen?”, I looked at her and breathed heavily, “did you really do it?”. She looked at me and smiled, the fire reflected in her eyes. “Find it out”, she said and everything went black. I can feel my body falling and I opened my eyes.

‎

‎The room is silent and dark. I stood up and looked at the window where the garden and the lake, the location where she was standing. “I have a bad feeling about everything that happened. Miss Cyul Idrianna, the girl who lit the fire.”

The silence in the room disappeared because of a loud knock. “Liern, come out it's already evening!” it's just Clee. I changed my clothes and opened the door. I looked at him with a piercing glare. “Took you long enough, wait, am I supposed to be scared of that”, he said in a sarcastic tone while pointing at my eyes. I ignored him and saw Chierie waiting for us.

The corridor was long, and I couldn't get used to it. Due to the silence I decided to open my mouth and said, “I dreamt, again.” Clee looked at me with curious eyes while Chierie stayed quiet. “A young girl in white silk dress, blond but almost white hair standing on the dock looking at a room caught in a big fire”, I continued. Clee said nothing for a few seconds before he finally spoke, “I can see your curiosity Liern”.

The wooden door opened and the whole family looked at us with confusion. Chierie bowed and Mrs. Idrianna smiled. I looked at each of them as I walked inside. I knew them because Mrs. Idrianna gave us their pictures with some basic information.
