Chapter 3:

Together Once Again

Cosplayer


It was a normal day like any, we were talking in the grocery shop near the aisle where we first met. I was telling him about One Piece when suddenly a tactical team of soldiers intercepted us. “What the heck, it was suddenly all smoky. The only part of the day that I waited so much in anticipation for, what the heck and why it happened?” They were after Jasper, it soon dawned upon me cause seeing them he told me to run and he made an exit himself all of sudden. All of them followed him. I couldn’t leave, I ran after them too. Something within my body said I have to be with him, I cannot lose him. They were too quick though and I soon lost all of them. Regardless I ran, I ran, and after a while, I finally saw them and had caught up to them. Jasper was so Ghako ee kara (awesomely) beating them one by one. Near the road with a lake to my one side and bakeries on the other, my eyes rested on the scene where in front of me, Jasper was dashingly just like an anime character beating all of them with style. It truly felt like an illusion at that time. During all this his eyes contacted mines and we had eye contact, at that moment all I could see was his eyes, it felt as if I was drowning in those tiny slim eyes. It felt so safe. But how long does it take for safe to be a storm. A shot was heard, somehow this scene sound of shot reminded me of something, something I did not want to look back upon. All other sounds soon faded away and I looked at my belly which was bleeding. I could see Jasper running towards me, this was the first time I could see the tension on his face. For some reason I felt at peace, all this felt familiar. My eyes closed. It was dark.

When they opened, I saw I was strapped to a chair; there were two people in white cloaks in front of me. I felt numb. I moved my head to see a man behind me too, he had a strange hammer in his hand, and that moment I realized, all of which I had gone through was a glimpse of my future. My future with Jasper in heaven or the afterlife. I was shot there so I could come back, back to this shitty real world and for once terminate all links here and get things done once and for all. Jasper always said, “People with mental abnormalities lose a door in their mind which enables them to wander to other worlds and plains. Places far beautiful and peaceful than this one, and once they go there they don’t like to come back and with only a part of their existence in this world they behave crazy.” That was his theory about abnormalities and craziness.

I wondered why the guy was making such delays, Jasper would be waiting for me, he would… The guy in front of me nodded and something hit on the neck, it was so quick and sudden, darkness engulfed, I felt no pain. I was dead.

My eyes opened, Jasper was caressing my hair, my head in his lap. He smiled, I smiled back and said. “Sorry for the delay, but now, I am home, back to you, back to you Jasper.” “Welcome home, took you long enough.”
