Couldn't sleep all night then had this weird dream at 8 in the morning.

It was some type of test, I was ahead and also held a place, Maybe 2nd, and my greed wasn't satisfied trying my best to reach 1st, the final test, behind with only a slight mark.

The winner, was dressed in the most beautiful dress ever, with so many jewelries, looking like a godess, on the other hand, I, too was dressed, but in a plain black dress.

She looked so beautiful, everyone was in a daze, me too!

They took us to a place VERY far away, we reached a place, which looks like a temple. The first gate was plain big made of wood, and a walk of rocks extending at the perimeter.

The second gate, was big, but didn't had A perimeter, there were steps, big and so many, it looked like as if it reached the sky.

The person who took us there, stood aside, saying something to the girl, when it clicked to me, that we are supposed to go up there, Never, ever come down, and be a messager of God. And I was her servent.

I panicked, who wouldn't? Who would be willing to live up there, Never meet their families or friends, and be a "messager of God" ? Certainly not me, the first thing that came in my mind wasn't my family or friends, but the thought that the freedom I always wanted, and thought I would get after this, was a lie.

While the girl stepped ahead as if all her life led up to this moment, i didn't moved a bit, thinking of how to get away from here. The men turning behind told me to start moving, and help the girl, as that's what a servent do.

I took my chance, and started running from there, as I reached the first gate, the man shouted "get her! She's escaping" . The guards, took their attack position, I somehow managed to pass through them, running as fast as I can, after a long time, I reached the town I live, huffing and covered in sweat.

And i became a wanted person, it was nice that it wasn't shown about me in the news. After all the Rush, I reached the school. Maybe I go there. I went to the backside, saw a boy, crouching with eyes full of tears .

I crouched next to him, he saw me and broke into tears, I hugged him calming him down. After a while he calmed down, and I told him everything.

We rushed to his house, he lived with his grandmother, while we were planning what to do, we heard a knock, mens in their middle age started coming one by one, maybe there were five of them.

They started backing the boy to a corner, threatening him to get his money, when he refused, one men went and bought his grandmother from the other room, I hoped she'd help him, instead to my shock, she asked him to be obedient.

Nothing on my brain how to help him, while I was standing there he was struggling. I felt bad that I couldn't help him.

Standing in the side when her grandmother told those men to come after me, as they took a step forward, he immediately agreed to give them the money, using me as a way to get the money from him.

They all happily went out the room leaving us alone, he sat on the bed signing , I slowly went his way, consoled him and apologized. He brushed it off and said " Atleast you are safe " the guilt covered me all the way up.

Before continuing our meeting, he gave me a pair of his close, "Change into this, you don't want undercover people to recognise you, do you?" And walked out the room.

I quickly changed into them, throwing that black dress into a bag.

As I got out the room, a girl came, she seems to know me, I don't remember her face, come to think of it, I don't remember the boy's face either. Anyway she was happy to see me safe, the boy and girl came in and we discussed, the girl crouched on the ground, holding a pen and a paper, "ok so, ':::::::' (my name) you have to collect all the money you could find, alri-"

"What money? I can't even go home!?" What home? I don't even properly know who these people are, I don't even know if I have a home.

"She's right, her family might hand her over to those people, they would also have been informed" he backed me up.

after we finished, we decided to go meet another boy.

As the first boy packed a few things and went out the room, "isn't this '$#@' s clothes?" The girl asked, before i could answer, the boy came back "let's go!" And the girl gave me a smirk, confused, we both followed after the boy.

The girl leading us, me and the boy dragging our feets as if something burdened us, "come on! Only few more minutes!"

"Good for you to say, I don't see you carrying any bag. "

Rather then thinking why I am following them or if I know them, what only came to my mind was "they fight a lot" . Weird.

After everything, we reached the school's backside, no one there except a not so old but old man, "ohhoho if it isn't '$#@' and his friends!" I still can't remember their names, it's blur.

"Oh hey Mr. We are here to meet a friend"

"Oh boy, that friend is '¥^¥' I suppose?"

"Oh yes, he is."

Who is he? Do I know him too? This all feels weird, where did I even got stuck? Why do I know then but also don't know them? Why are their names blur? All the questions start pouring in my head. Why now? Why didn't I thought of these questions at first??

" '$#@' !!! " Someone shouted the first boy's name, a boy about same age as us was visible running towards us, he had a scarf and a jacket. It's winter season, I thought after i saw him. He reached us cover in sweat, huffing.

"You are late!" As the girl said, "we have been waiting for long"

"I *huff* m sorry *huff* " he looked up at me as he took a breath, without saying a word he clasped a hug with me, "you are safe" I felt his warm but short breath as he wispered in my ear.

"Yes I am" I patted his hand as I said so, why isn't my thoughts and actions matching? I shoot a glance at the first boy, he came and joined our hug, I felt somewhat revealed.

Their hug, was warm, but they were scared, this hug was not that of giving them a simple introduction hug, but that of someone saw their loved one came out of the mouth of danger.

"Guys we are still here" the girl said while giving me a smile, the smile of knowing something no one's supposed to know.

"Well, the lady does seems cold" the man said while looking at me.

"Ah, no i-" before i could finish, the second boy gave me his coat, and the first boy coverd my neck with his scarf.

"I don't need the coat, I ran all the way here, so I am hot, besides I have a sweater on too" he giggled.

"I don't like wearing scarf anyways" he smiled.

Is this something I am sensing? Or just illusion?

Anyway skipping forward, the old man went his way, and all four of us walked to the next destination.

This time, the boys were behind, "oh, I would like to see ------------" what? I couldn't hear. But instead of asking her to say it again, I said "shh, he is behind, he will listen" what listen? Even I could hear her.

"Anu this is as far as I could come with you guys" we were standing near the temple's first gate, at the side, near the rocks, I looked up, it's not just a rock wall, it can be climbed, but at the same time it's way too dangerous.

Before i see, the girl was no longer seen. We were overwhelmed.

Somehow the boys were prepared, the second boy tied a rope around my waist, and at the other end was a hook. After we are done tie-ing everything, we held eachother's hand once, and took a deep breath.

"Don't be scared, we are here" the first boy said.

I remember the girl told us before she went, it was something like "if you see duststorm, you can come down, but if it isn't dust storm, stay where you are". Shouldn't this be other way around?

Anyways we went up there, we climbed and claimed, and at some point we could see the storm, nothing was visible, but we still went.

It was very hard.

We almost reached near the top, but I slipped, it was as if my life flashed through my eyes, but fortunately, the buys saved me, both held one of my hand. I took a breath of relief.

It was at that moment i woke up. Nothing such as rockes in front of me but the shouting of my mom waking me up for online classes

I don't know how we got here, i swing my bat, something falls, green blood...a zombie?

"Wow, you are great! " A boy, whom it seems that we have rescued, said.

We all then went to search for a place to stay. Fortunately my family, my mom, dad, and sis were fine. From what they said looks like i saved them......but why? Why would u save them? When u want to die myself... This question revolved around my mind.

Before i knew it we were in a inn..?

Everything seemed to be fine, we spent some time there. There was a young girl maybe in middle school, a boy highschool or older, and one more, the my family, total of 7 people.

After eating we sat down, the situation was confusing and critical, my mother very sensitive person, the fear and worry clearly visible on her face, my sis '_' idk. My dad looks very brave but is very scared. The other people were also scared .

What else of a reaction do I expect in a situation like this?

Anyway everything was fine until souds from another room started coming. (We were not the only people alive btw, there were more people too) we went to check it out, the closer we got the more sounds started coming, it was suspicious, i grip the bat in my hand, and in position.

When the door opened, a lady walked out to the door frame, she seemed fine, she and more people were having something like a party, most of them were drunk.

When we assumed that lady was fine, she started wobbling, slowly she turned into a zombie. The boy was too scared to do something, i hit her had and closed the door.

We all decided to go our village (my family) , on the way i remember the boy saying something about her crush, something like she used to throw fists etc.

We reached our house, we were shocked and slowly backing up when we saw some people who were green, assuming they are zombies we were about to go back.

When my uncle (dad's big bro) came out the house saying something, i couldn't hear it.

We all took a sigh of relief knowing it's some sort of party. But it was soon taken away when we saw a group of zombies coming our way.

We suspected the people in the party to be infected too, we tried to pull them out.

We locked the door. It was a bit terrifying to see the zombie kill those people.

After few time some people inside the room started turning weird, one after another people started turning into zombie.

Almost every person my family saved turned into zombie, they were minutes away from turning completely into zombie, they were concious.

Soon my father got bit, and some zombie somehow made their way to my sister.

As i said earlier my mom is very very sensitive, she broke down in tears, and got out of control, only me and my mom were left.

I couldn't think of anything, i took my mom in the room my sis, and dad were, they were still concious, knowing well i wouldn't be able to handle my mom anymore. I told my sis to bite my mom, she did.

"Why am I staying here ? Isn't my life long wish to die??" This question poped in my head.

I went around asking my family to bite me, but they didn't. I found the boy who talked about his crush, i told him to bite me.

"I won't, you- you are not my c-crush"

"I-i am you crush"

"You are not, she doesn't behave like you"

I remembered the boy told something about his crush. I looked around the room for some things.

After i did something to my face i told the boy to bite me, he smiled , very creepy, and started to beat me in the face

I knew my face was swelling, blood, but i couldn't do anything, i could feel the pain, i could sense i was slowly going unconscious......

And it turned completely black , and i knew it all ended and i was up .
