"zERO. zEro. zErO!" A voice woke me up from my slumber. I opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling. "Im not yet in--"
"Yes you're not yet in heaven." said by the voice who Interrupt me. I look at my side where I find the person who is talking to me. "Oh Trent its you" I said as I pull my body up to sit properly, he help me sit while he sighs.
"Well Im relieved you still remember me after collapsing out of nowhere." He rolled his eyes and cross his arms. "Acting like that make me think you're gay." I teased him. He groan and looked at me. "You made me worry then you woke up teasin' me. You makin' me Mad" He said as he raise his eyebrows. I chuckle "Im sorry."
I stood up and stretch. "What time is it?"
I asked. He look at me and sighs again. "4:40 and Counting" He said. I looked outside the window "4:00? But why's the sky yellow orange?" I asked. He smiled at me. "am" He said.
My eyebrows frowns. "what? Am?" I repeat. "Yah. 4:00 A-M" he calmly said. "sERIouSly?!" I screamed. "YES!" he also scream. "T-Then I Collapsed for a whole day?" I panicked as I rushed to my bag above the table to look for my cellphone. "Yeah something like that." he said and stood up.
I opened my phone and saw too many Miss calls and I know its from Dad.
"Aghhhh. Im Dead" I scratched my forehead. "Don't worry I already talked to your dad." Trent said as he wear his sling bag on his shoulders. "THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO!" I felt relief. "Lets go. I want to skip school today. Ive been staying here since yesterday. I want to relax!" He said as he leave the room. I immediately wear my bag and run to him. "Hey. So you mean. You stayed with me for the whole night?" I asked. "Correction. Till MoRnIn' " He sarcastically says. I laugh as we continue walking in the hallway. "Im really-really glad you're my bro." I cling in his shoulders. "well im your blood brother in crime." He smirked.
"Wait. what did you say to dad?" I worriedly asked. "How did you explain to him?" again I asked. Trent look at me and Sighs. "Well Of Course He's Worried. He Told me you are supposed to be Grounded and should be at home at 6:10. So I told Him You are staying In my House doin' Homework." He explained so I smiled at Him. "wohoo. Im save!" I smiled.
As we walked through the hallway I saw the exact girl that cause my body to collapsed
"Oh. Its her again." I said and pointed my finger at her, she had this Green Crystal Above her head, the same on what I saw on her yesterday. 'What is that thing? So Im not just seeing things yesterday' as I speak on my mind the girl turn around the corner already. "Huh? Where? Are you still feeling ill? are you seeing things?" He worriedly asked but I didn't Listen to him.
"Ill be back" as I rushed, Trent suddenly pulled me. "Wait are you kiddin' me? You will follow her? really? seriously? What will happen if you collapsed again huh? What? She will carry you to the infirmary?" He worriedly scold me.
I smiled at him while pulling my arms back.
"It will be fine. You go first." I said as I rushed outside the school to the girl, I heard Trent swear and I just laugh at him.
I turned around the corner but I didn't found the girl there. I walk slowly and entered the school gymnasium. As I slowly walk inside, I heard a noise coming from the back door to the storage room. I followed the noise and saw the storage room door slightly open. I glance behind the slightly opened door of the storage room I saw a shattered green Crystal in the floor. A red water is dripping from above so I look up and saw the girl hanging above the ceiling, blood is flowing out of her Neck and her eyes are wide open as if she was looking directly inside my soul.
I don't even have time to react. I felt my own body moving, opening the storage room door and walk in front of her dead body. 'I don't know what to do.' I asked my self. Suddenly a voice Im familiar with Replied. 「 JuSt dO WhAT eVer U wAnT. 」
'Should I scream?'
「 FoR WhAT? No OnE iS hErE.」 the voice replying on what is in my mind.
'Then Should I help her get down?'
「 WhY? sHE Want to BE haNGeD 」
'You say I can do what ever I want.' I groan as I panicked. The voice chuckles 「 ThEn StOp AsKinG 」
Silence eat me as I realize that something is Wrong. "Wa-Wait. Who are you? Get out of my head! ahhh... Wait.. MAybe Im already Insane ha-ha! ThaTS rIGHT! iM HALLUCINATING! THERE IS NO BODY HERE" I SMILED as I look at the girls dead body hanging In front of me. My smile slowly fade. "Im-IM Fucked Up."
'What to do. what to do?' I panicked. The voice frowns 「 LiStEn hErE boY. We CaN tALk ComPliCaTed ThINgs Later. FiRsT I gOt A QuEsTiOn fOr U. 」
"W-What do you want to ask?" I asked while Im trying to calm my self and focusing in the voice rather than the dead body in front of me. 「 Do U WaNt HeR tO lIvE? 」 the voice asked. I raised my eyebrows as I think. "Well Of Course! Shes a Human and Its a Humans Duty to Save Other Human!" I answered. 「 wHY? dO U kNOw HeR? 」 the voice asked. "I-I don't know her"
「 ThEn WhY do U wANt HeR tO LiVe? ThIS iS oUT of YoUr bUsInEss Am I rIghT? 」 the voice again asked. I bite my Lips and madly shouts. "JUST DO IT! if you have power to do it. DO IT NOW. STOP ASKING ME! I don't want to be held captive for murder!"
The voice laugh. 「 U aRE tHe SaMe As aLWays... A SElFish SaVioR. 」 I saw the shattered green crystal in the floor glows and combine and form back to its original shape. It flows in the air and merge with the girl. Suddenly a Green light flashed coming from the girl and covers the whole room. It felt like it was sucking my strength. I slowly loss strength as I heard the voice speak one last time. 「 IlL bE wAiTinG fOr U. wAKe Up SoOn ZeRo. 」 as it speak those last words I felt relief 'fINalLy You callED me zERO' I smirk as I said that in my mind and collapse once again.
