BANG!!!
WHOA! What is going on right now? And where am I? I wondered. I saw myself lying down on the floor after the moment I opened my eyes. I moved my body up and took a look at what's happening to my surroundings. I saw myself locked inside the room and wore my own school uniform. Why am I locked inside the room? I tried to crash the door as hard as I can with using my own body multiple times. Finally, the door was opened. I quickly stood up and looked outside the window. What? The school was burning and everyone ran out screaming. Among the crowd, I saw someone pushing the people out of the road, I tried to focus my vision and saw there was a mysterious man carrying a girl on his shoulder. He seemed to be in a hurry and didn't want to let the crowd know of his presence.
Wait for a second! It’s Rin! Why is he carrying her and who was he? I immediately ran down the staircase and ran outside the school building to chase the man ahead. But when I had finally reached outside the school entrance, he disappeared.
God! What is happening? Is this a nightmare or real? When did the school burn like this?! It’s not the time to think about this! Now all I want to do is get Rin back! Where is he?! I looked around the school and ran around the school. I heard some of my classmates shouted my name and told me to come back, but I ignored them.
Finally, when I reached to the school backyard, I saw Rin was unconsciously lying under the tree on top of the hill with a mysterious man standing right in front of her as he was trying to unlock the spell out of Rin’s body. I could already tell what this man was trying to do was wrong as I suspected that he was trying to take something away from Rin and his face was full of desperation with an evil smile to become the strongest. I walked towards his direction with heavy steps and tried to tell him to stop his actions.
“Hey what are you…….” I didn’t finish my words, he shot a blast of flame towards me. I flipped as I tried to dodge his attacks, at the same time I used my arm to block the fire blaze that almost came to my eye.
“Ugh!” I put down my hand and saw the man had transformed into a dark hero. His elemental and strongest power seemed to be fire, but black in colour. He wore a long black coat with two black flames on his shoulders. His face was black too with dark flame burning on top of his head.
“Who are you?! And what were you doing right here?!” I shouted.
“Hehe!” the man with the dark power smiled ( let us call him the dark hero for now ) and he summoned his servants to catch me. I don’t want to let them catch me, I wanted to save Rin from that man’s hand! At the same time, Rin slowly opened her eyes and saw me being chased by two dark summons and was shocked that she was in a different place.
“What’s going on?.......wait, it’s Aaron! Hel………”
When the dark hero realised that she had woken up, he quickly hit Rin’s neck and made her fell onto the ground.
“Hey! What do you think you are doing?!” When I almost arrived at his position, the servants had caught me up and tighten my arms and legs up. Later, one of them kicked me on the ground as I straight away knocked onto the ground and could only look upwards. The dark hero snapped his fingers and made the servants disappear.
“Let me go! What do you want right now?!”
“Hehe!” the dark hero smiled and kneeled down to see my face, “I’m just here to take……...her powers up, nothing to do with you!”
“You!” I tried to let myself off with struggle and made a bit of scowl, “Stop it! You JERK!!!”
“Nice try, kid!” said by the dark hero and took Rin up, he tried to used as much energy as he could to unlock the spell inside Rin’s body. I kept shouting at him and tried my best to tear apart the clips. Then, I saw some colourful lights coming out from Rin, it seemed like the person had already solved the puzzles and prepared for it to come out.
“Right now, I’m going to take her power up! You are going to stay there and watch her suffer and scream in pain!” dark hero laughed as he started to get excitement when he saw the light coming out of Rin more and more. Later, it seemed like Rin’s soul was also coming along the lights out of her body and I could hear her screaming with pain as the pieces of her slowly went out of her body.
“I’m going to kill you right no-” I couldn’t finish my word because some sort of dark power within me is making my heart not comfortable, it’s the pain of striking again, “guh!!!”
“Aaron…….help!!!” Rin shouted again and seemed like she was about to lose all her energy to get back her soul to her own body.
“Rin!!!” I was still being held by the dark hero’s servants and still struggling to find the way to break the clips.
“Oh, you are asking my name, right !?”said by the Dark Hero, “I’m Darkness, if you are going to defeat me, you have two choices!”
Darkness then pointed his finger to the left, which signalled me to look at where he was pointing.
“Huh?!” The moment when I turned to my left, I saw my school was going to burn down.
“You’re going to save the students inside the school, or………...this girl, huh?!” said Darkness as he is holding Rin’s head with an evil laugh near her face.
“You! You bastard!!!”, I shouted while grinding my teeth, “I’m gonna finish you, Darkness!!! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!”
The moment I had torn apart the clips around my arms and legs, it was too late. Rin’s soul had almost made its way out of her body.
“Aaron…….” called from Rin with tears falling onto her cheeks and used her last effort to call out my name. Then, the time when she had loosened all her energy as she couldn’t take in any pain, she slowly closed her eyes along with her soulless body fallen onto the ground.
“Rin!!!” I cried as I wanted her to stay awake, but my reaction was too slow, the light got brighter and brighter in front of my eyes.
“Rin!!!!” I cried again. Out of the sudden, I woke up and kept breathing as my heart kept beating and couldn’t handle too much of what I dreamt. I looked at the clock on the wall, it was 3 o’clock in the morning and outside my balcony was still dark. I stayed in the same position without moving any single part of my body, wondering what had happened just now. Is it real?….. I confirmed again by checking around my room on whether something was different from before.
It was a dream, thank goodness! I put my right palm onto my forehead and squinted my eyes. At the same time, I began to think about why I had this dream. Is someone outside the universe sending a warning message to me about what will happen in the future in my dream? Had I done some mistakes to someone in the past and now have to pay back the consequences? Is there a connection or things that maybe only me and Rin know? What's with the power for? I shook my head and told myself that I’m thinking too much.
“Should I tell Rin about this?……..” I mumbled. After a few seconds of thinking, I decided to keep it a secret from Rin. Hey, Aaron! We only just met for about 3 days! Don’t tell me that you had already fallen for her?!
Wait…. Fallen for her?…… Ahhh! Whatever, it was just a dream!!
I went back to my bed and looked at the ceiling, trying to close my eyes and sleep. Although we had already known each other for a few days, there's one thing I have already confirmed. She has something that someone wants to take away, so I’ll have to keep an eye on her. I must protect her from the others!
=============================================================
( Conversation between my classmates inside the class. )
“Hey, what happened to him today? He’s been acting quiet today!”
“Ya! You are right! He’s so quiet all of a sudden today! Hey! Why don’t we make a bet? Let’s guess who is right, I bet he’s got refused by his ‘girlfriend’.”
“Wow, nice try, but I don’t think they broke up though… they are still close to each other….”
“Right……”
“Hmmm….. I think he’s being bored by pranking people.”
“How come he still has so many ideas?…..”
“Hmm…..”
“I bet he had a bad dream last night.”
“Probably not! I could already imagine what kind of dream he’s been having…..”
“Being a knight and trying to kill the dragon?…..”
“…… Yea….. That’s what I think…….”
Am I that naive?! I had no intentions to cut into their useless conversation, so I stayed on my table and took a bit of rest. I felt so tired that even the pain was still inside my heart. As I was about to lay down on my desk with my eyes shut, Rin came next to my desk.
“Hey, Aaron, how are you? You looked tired today, something wrong?….”
STARE INTENSELY~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh, it’s you, Rin. Yeah, I felt tired because of a bad dream last night and…….”
STARE INTENSELY~~~~~~~~~~~
“Can you guys just quit STARING AT ME?! If you guys continue to disobey my order, I’LL KILL YOU WITH THE POWER OF ‘KING OF PRANKSTER’!”
“Opps…. Haha… Sorry for our actions, Aaron…… H-hey, let’s continue our conversations outside…..”
Then, they went outside as fast as they could. Why are they running? What's with their mind?….
“So yea..... how is your day? Anything happened?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine today…… Erm….. just something strange happened to me last night…….”
“Eh?!…..What’s it?….” I was shocked when I heard her saying that something happened to her last night. Is she in the same situation as I was last night?!… What happened to her?….
“Well, that’s……” As she was trying to explain, the bell rang and all of the students were ready for the next lesson. It seemed that we had to pause our conversation.
"Never mind, we’ll talk about it later.”
“Haha.....You’re so mysterious and weird sometimes……but I like what you did there,” she smiled.
“Oh……. really? My mistakes?....haha….,” I said with an awkward smile while I took my things out of my bag.
I don't know what is going on now, but I could sense that there's a lot of mysteries that I haven't unravelled yet and things that I need to discover. I told myself that I want to put this to an end on what is going to happen to Rin as soon as possible. Now, I've already know who's the person that operate this whole thing, Darkness. I’ll find you, Darkness! I won't let you do the same thing inside my dream and in real life! You'll see!
“Alright, everyone! Let us start the class!”said the teacher in front of the class. Wait a minute, I have a feeling that someone is watching us inside the class. Is it my illusion or Am I watching too many tv series?….
“Eh?!” I was stunned for a second as I could hear someone directly tell me a message through thin air that everyone didn’t notice.
I WON’T LET YOU CATCH ME, UNLESS YOU TRY HARD, HEHE!!!!!
I got chills as I heard this message pass through my ear. Somehow it feels scary that he is about to act something dangerous towards all my classmates, or just to Rin…..
