Chapter 54
Things will never go the way we wanted it to be. Even if we want that thing to happen, some times in our life will always makes us feel miserable.
Life is like a wheel. We may be happy today, but the next day… will you ba able to tell?
The life you had now, it will never be permanent. For things will surely change… may be for the better… may be for the worst.
Some changes are in our hands but it is also true that sometimes… we can never tell.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
Trying to find out the reason why she was locked in a sma cylindrical room with nothing but glass as it's wall, she can't tell what was going on the head of those who captured her.
“You, be quiet”
His voice was so deep. Deeper than the deepest part of the ocean. It was cold.. Yet… frightening.
“What do you want from me? Leave me alone… let go of me! Let me out!“
Shouting as she find it shocking to be inside that capsule like object, none of those big guy wearing white clothes dare bother with her words.
They are focused on the thing that they are working on. Putting drops of something in some sort of liquid solution, they are so careful in adding substances as if there would be a problem if even just a bit of it was wrong in measurement
”The time is about to come. If she take that by now, the result of the final product will be seen in just a day“
“Very well, we need to finish this at all cost”
Worried about what may happen to her, she sat in one corner and curl her body. Hugging herself, she was afraid in what might be done to her.
'I was about to go and look for my brother but… everyone at school seems weird. They were acting different… ever since that earthquake happened… they all started to act so weird…'
Trying to find the answer in her worries, she find nothing as there was no clue for her thmo think through
'I wonder what was brother doing. Mom and dad always scold him and.. Many things happened. He is not the same older brother I always play with. I miss my old older brother. The brother of mine who was playing with me. The brother of mine who would run to my direction saving me from bullies… I miss my super hero…'
Her thoughts was disturbed as she was alarmed by the clicking sound created from the outside of the capsule.
Looking at them, she saw one of the guys inject some sort of thing as he pull the lever.
“Hey! What are you doing?!”
Wooosh
'Brother… help… me…'
A rushing water then came that surprised her. But that water didn't make her feel like it was water. It was like a magic air that looks like water. She can even breathe on it. But…
“What…”
As soon as she inhale some of the water like air that was sent to where she is, her body float as if it was floating on the water
“Rest well, young Ms”
“Rest in a deep deep slumber…”
A small smile can be seen in their eyes. Even if they are wearing mask binding their faces, one can see the hopes and excitement in their eyes who was sparkling like a child seeing an amusement park for the first time.
The sound of a clock ticking was heard
[23:59:45]
It shows on the clock as it was set in a countdown of a day
.
.
.
Tick tick tick
“It was yet another day.. Why does the time seems to be running?“
I said as I have a slight of displeasure about how the time seems to speed running. It was as if… there was something that was supposed to happen with no delay…
”Good morning“
Greeted by Sapher. Ever since that incident happened yesterday, I can sense that he was a bit more showy. He greets me as well as the others. He also did eat breakfast with all of us. Now that I think about it… did he feel bad about the thought is us being dead?
Even after all this time, I can't help but have all my body hair move up as I remember those times I went in my death door. But for some reason… I am still here and breathing. Although the strangest thing I can sense is that…
There was a weird line on my palm. It was in my right hand. I have no idea why it was there but… I can't be removed.
”What are you looking at for such a long time? Are you getting obsessed with your hand?“ Filled teased me as she sat on the empty seat beside me.
We are at the nearby place of the academy full of illusions. The moment those holograms and screens collapsed, we saw our way out. There are still moving vehicles nearby but they didn't notice us being in here. Thanks to Navi guiding us the direction of where there are none weird vehicles moving.
”No… I just find it weird“
Sipping a cup of coffee, we are lucky to have some time eating freely like this. There is a coffee maker in the corner and so do bread toaster. Simple meals like this surely is nice.
”Weird? Why so?“
She asked full of curiosity. The kids seems to be sleeping soundly together. It was nice to see that they can have a good rest.
”I don't know. I don't have this before. So it was odd…“
”Maybe that was just a scar“
A scar? But… it doesn't look like one… weird…
”Maybe?“
Now that the surroundings was quiet, I was about to start a conversation when Saypher started a topic
”About… everything that happens “
He started which makes me feel surprised
”Yes?“
Looking at my eyes, he looks so serious. It was as if, he would never forgive me if I ever happen to not say the truth.
”You haven't answered my questions yet. Why do you know so many thing? Why do you know those information as if you predicted what would happen next? I just… find it weird that all the things you said are becoming true…“
With my hands holding my cup, I wasn't sure what I would say. Looking at my reflection on the coffee I was drinking just now…
Should I tell them the truth?
But…
If I ever told them so, would they get mad at me for hiding it this late? He will soon face Mors Magnus… even if there was a changes when he fought with wrong Magnus in his second fight… even if we encounter some hidden events that even I have no idea that it exist… things went back on the way it supposed to be.
Saying things as… I was a player of this game called IKINOBIRU and you are the main character of that game…. Wouldn't it be impossible to accept?
For him who was fighting to find answers that he was looking for… only to find that his life was already set… only to find out that he was but a game character of this game he never heard of…
Wouldn't it be… sad to see his reaction?
Should I… tell him?
How can I have the courage to tell him that this would is not true? That this world was created by someone and I was playing it then one day it became a reality?
I can't seem to find enough courage to tell him that his life was… like that.
”I….“
Before I can even say any words as a reply, Kheina came rushing as she shouted telling words that would make my coffee spill on the table.
”Brother Ethan! Kael! He was… he was ice cold!“
