Chapter 4:

...Wonderful World

In this Wonderful World


I...I was in school. My mind is as hazy as ever, even my vision is seeing two of two's. "Am I in a dream?", as I spoke, making sense of what is about to come or to be revealed. My vision improves and I found m, myself in an empty classroom. "I-I thought-It's a dream isn't it...", I was almost going to rip my hair out of my hair. I wasn't able to make sense at all. "First the gory visions...that mysterious phone call and now this! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!", I raise my hand to punch, to release my stress. However I recoiled it back, "Davis, this isn't a time to be angry, just think. I need to calm down...", I pondered for a minute.

"Maybe...I just need to search the room", wh-what the hell...why would I need to search the room?! I-it came as a thought as if someone planted a seed in my head...well, what's the hurt in trying...

I searched the room mindlessly, checking each open space in each of the tables in the room. My search stopped as I found a newspaper. The headlines read, "Explosion at Mulberry high school! The boiler room erupted! 100 kids dead!", the last part was where a sudden sickening in my stomach started boiling inside of me. "M-mulberry high? Here? 100 people?! I-impos-"

As soon as I take my eyes off the newspaper...I saw bodies piled up in the 4 corners of the room. My mouth wouldn't open, the room started expanding as my mental dexterity started crumbling. The smell of blood, oh how it feels so natural, the same iron rustic smell and the atmosphere around it gave a bright glowing red. Then I started screaming at the top of my lungs and I just...woke up in my room

"I-holy heck, I actually can't keep up with all of this. Losing my mind is the worst-case scenario here, I'm still surprised as to how I haven't broken yet. These past few days have been weird...what's the time now?", it was 7:49, I was late for school. "Oh shoot! I have to be there quick!", I skipped breakfast and sprinted onwards to school.

The school was...normal. My mind was racing with so many things at once. I mean who wouldn't be? After seeing so many weird things happening at once, how the hell was someone supposed to cope.  But my mind still hasn't even gone crazy yet...it's as if it's making sense of the whole...dramaturgy? yeah, dramaturgy...weird word for it but yeah.

"Okay, everyone! As we all know tomorrow is Ṣ̵̡̠̺̣̟̮͍̤͖͖͕̒́͑̌̄̑̌͂͌̀p̵̜͈̥͈̗̻̯̞̉̋͛̂̐̑̃̌̇͂͐͒͜ò̵̡̦r̷͇͙̬͍͖̽͋t̵͉͖̝̺̓̽̈́͆̀́̂̇̈͠ś̷͚̪̭̯͍̈̀́̓͒̔̕̕ ̷̡͕̜͎͉̲̝̩̩̈́͂̓d̴̯̼̞͔̜̭̳̬̮̱̕a̴̗͛̈́̍̽̔̕ý̷̻̟̯͉̘͎̪̩̬̪͓͎͐͛͌͛͑̌̀͘, so we have to start training for it!", as per usual the class was-wait what the hell...when she said sports day-

"The...the school's front yard? What am I doing out here wasn't I just in class a few minutes ago?", I stood there confused in the sudden turn of events. I turned around and-

The school...is not the school anymore. It's a broken building, licked up by flames and fumed of a mixture of oil and blood...or rust. With everything that has happened in these few or so days- days? how long had I been going through this? It felt as if it was an eternity. I have a feeling I have seen this scene before but my memory fails me. I walked about, unfazed about the multiple bodies piled on each other, some of them had disfigured faces, lost limbs and some were still...alive. I paid no attention to the screams these alive bodies were emitting, I felt they were annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, ANNOYING, ANNOYING,ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING, ANNOYING,  AGGH WHY THE HELL WON'T THEY SHUT UP-

I paused, I saw someone familiar? yes, familiar. I knew this person, I knew Ĥ̴̡̢̙̫̘͎̝̤̭͈̙̫͙̿̽̾͆̄̕e̶̙͎̿̋̉̓̐̒͊̇͊̅̓̓̀̿̋ṟ̷̡̨̛̛̱͙͖̪̩͍̖̦̉̅́̂̍͑͊͘̕̚͜͠ . "AAH AAH SOMEONE HELP ME", she screamed for her life. It was obvious of course, she has lost half of her body, she is now a crawling humanoid. She crawls to me as she noticed how I was standing there. She clenches my leg, screaming and howling. But I just ignore herrrrrrrekfrkfonmlkjfklrfjkfjklfk. 

"AH!", I snapped back to the classroom with my vision in black and white. Then colours started pouring in filling a colourless canvas. My heart skyrocketed. "I am going insane", as I lay on the floor with my chair fallen on the ground. Everyone was staring at me and the room just started expanding and closing on me. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH", I screamed so loudly at the top of my longs, to get rid of this feeling of insanity. My mind started hurting more and more, a migraine appeared before me. But it wasn't a migraine. It was my mind, my brain, and my soul being torn apart. This is how it feels to be insane. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-", I was screaming almost endlessly and suddenly, I am brought to a scene. Miss...Ruby? Why am I here? "You are here for a tutor lesson". A tutor- wait did she read my mind? "Yes I did. I am not the Miss Ruby you know, rather, I'm someone you are very familiar with", She didn't make any sense. My teacher had a black board and we were in the classroom-no grassfields. The blackboard suspended in air as Miss Ruby writes on the black board. She writes an equation. 

"E equals m and c square, what is the name given to this equation"

"The theory of relativity? Hold on, why are you teaching me this? We are not supposed to learn about something advanced this early-"

"Silence!", as Miss Ruby's voice of authority, roared throughout the field. "You are correct, see? not so advanced after all", yeah that is because- wait no I forgot she can read my mind. I should ask her.

"How can you read my mind? Are you some sort of esper? or whats-it they call"

"I am you"

"What?", I was confused, obviously. Who the heck would not be confused if someone said 'I am you out of nowhere. IN FACT, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THE FIRST PLACE-

"Ssshhh, it will be revealed to you when you save...them"

"Who? I am extremely pissed and confused, First, it was that encounter with Ava and that truck, can someone please explain to me. WHAT IS GOING ON?!"

"Hey, hey, Davis"

My vision returns to normal as I stand on top of the roof of a building with my good buddy, John. He has his hands on the railing, beyond the railing is the ground. "Looks like the jig is up...all this time you spent with me...was very good. I enjoyed it. Too bad though...it only seemed like it was like a week since all of this started crashing down". Baffled was my mind. He is just sitting on this very railing with his back behind the height. It looks as if he is going to fall.

"J-John, what the heck are you talking about? I don't even know what has been happening for these few weeks I-", John put his hand up to me.

"Fictus mindus, Latin for Fictional world? Don't you understand what that means? your encounter with that person in the train station must've meant something right?"

"I don't know, I DON'T KNOW!", I screamed out of my lungs and I dropped to the floor pulling into a fetal position. My mind was scrambling for words, answers even. Why in this specific week?

"Because something bad happened in this week", As John said that sentence my senses snapped to pay attention and work out what it meant

"W-what? Something bad? like what?"

"I can't really tell you, it is a job for her" again, he is being very vague.

"Who exactly-", suddenly, the butterfly effect acted again, this time not even looking or figuring out the cause. It just came automatically. I see a person falling-no not John- their arms flailing around as if trying to reach for the air or for an object to hold on- ITS JOHN NO NO I HAVE TO GET HIM NO-

I was too late, he had descended to his fall, his death. Although...I just stood their...my mind and body feels like it doesn't want to save him. I just see him fall. It's so fast, the moment went by like *that*. I feel sick, but I know why I didn't do anything. If I did then I would die too. It was a strange feeling but I feel like this happened before, as if I had r̶̫̃̉̒̀ĕ̶̢̕p̴̞͓̲̓̀ẻ̶͈̑͠a̸̭̘̎t̶̰̻͈͕̊͛ê̶̬͖̜̌ͅḍ̶̃͝ ̴̞̉̍ṯ̸͂̋ẖ̸̤̖̂͘͜i̵̳̱͊͊̄̍s̴̡̗͗̀͛̑ ̷̨͚̻̖̈́̄m̸̜̔a̷̢̢͔͙͝ń̵̢̨̜̦͛͝y̵̘͉̻̱̏̈́̋͘ ̸͆̅͜t̸͈̫͌͗i̶͎̩͐m̷̢͈͍̀̃e̸̙̅͗̚̕s̴̆͐͜ ̵͙͠b̶̦̗̐̕e̵̡̧̠͊̾̔̐f̷̭̩͈͎̐̈ȏ̷͚̱̬̫͂̎r̶̡̪͉̮̐̕e̸͇̘͈͒ ̸̬̠͑̾̈́ą̷̣̿ǹ̸̼̜͗͠d̵̼͈̰̉̓͜ ̴̲̝̀́b̶̤̳̣̒̔͂͐ȩ̶̖̣͉͂̐͛̚f̴͓̰͎̟̔̍͊ơ̴̫̮ȓ̶̤͎̬̲̂e̵̦̣̪̞̍,̵̢͖͌̌͊̉ ̸̜̝͋a̴̹̥͊́̂ğ̴̈́ͅȁ̷͍̉ḯ̴̜̊̈́n̸̖̂́͑͘͜ ̵͖̳̓̂͜ả̵̦̀̅n̷̘͓̞̝̉̒̌d̷̛͉̳̱̏̆ ̸͙̪͎͑͘a̷̼̔̉̓ġ̶͇̮̱͝â̶̲ȉ̴͕̙̯̣n̸͇̐̕

I blinked then, I am in another place...it's dark. A figure

"So Davis, we have some talking we need to do", the figure was a girl. She reminds me of one-no two people strangely. "You found out that this world was well...
