Chapter 3: Lucid dreams

Goddess Suzune, "Haru wake up", I heard a voice calling out to me. "Haru wakes up". the voice seems to be trembling now. When I woke up, I was in the classroom with strangers.

"There you are the sleepyhead," she said while smiling gently and her eyes full excitement.

"Who are you?, why am I here? where is goddess Suzune?" I replied with hesitation and confusion. I waved off her hand on my head.

"Haru, are you okay, don't you remember us?" she asked while looking very confused. Disappointment is visible through her forest-like eyes.

"Goddess Suzune? I didn't know such person Haru, also why can't recognize us?" She said. "I'm Sune, your childhood friend."

" And the guy with the hoodie on and headphones around the neck is Ichiro Yukimura, your best friend". She continued.

I looked at them in confusion and doubtfulness.

"I don't know you, mortals, Don't lie to me, hypocrites," I replied in disgust, glaring at them. "Don't follow me around". I continued while smirking at them.

I leave the classroom and head to the forest. I scanned the surrounding in an attempt to find Goddess Suzune, I groaned in vain, I couldn't find Goddess Suzune. I heard footsteps and screeching in the bush.

"I said stop following me, I don't know you Mortals so stop following me wherever I go". I said while groaning.

"Haru, we're your best friends, How could we leave you alone in the woods? Besides Ochito and I are the only people in your life that care about you since your parents passed away years ago" Sune said with sympathy visible in her eyes.

"That's right Haru, we're your friends so don't blame us for following you and don't be angry at us" The guy named Ichiro replied, sighing.

"Mortals? Haru are you nuts? Aren't you human to call us Mortals?" He said.

"Haru what's gotten in your head recently? maybe you stay all night in your home, that's why you went insane". Sune said in disbelieve while chuckling.

"Haru, are you all right? what did you say earlier in the classroom? Goddess what?" Ichiro paused for a moment and continued. "What era are you on? There's no such thing as Goddess. They don't exist in the real world, Haru makes up your mind. Don't believe in superstitious things alright?" Ichiro said in disbelief while smiling wickedly. Weird.

I was shocked, I was still in a daze, I couldn't believe what's happening, I was mistaken as a someone I'm not. I was dumbfounded, I couldn't comprehend anything at all, It doesn't make any sense, Then I looked down at my clothes,

What on earth am I wearing? where is my black cloak? My combat boot? My breastplate? It's all gone.

"Mortals, don't fool me, Indeed my name is Haru, but I'm not the Haru you've talked about," I said in a grievance. How dare they try to fool me.

"Mortals, you've said my mother died?"I asked in anger, grabbing the guy by the neck. "What have you've done for my mother!? I won't let anyone live if my mother died or been beaten, I will kill everyone I see to avenge my mother." I said in madness. This is driving me crazy.

"Haru! I c-can't breathe let me go, please! Haru calm down! I swear we're not the one who killed your mother." He replied while gasping for air.

"Haru let him go please!". She said while looking at my eyes in despair for sympathy.

I released him, He cough terribly choking.

"Haru are you crazy? why did you grab him by the neck? He's your best friend! How could you do that!" Sune is exhilarating in anger and disappointment.

"I'm o-okay Sune." Ichiro tried to smile. "Don't shout at Haru, He didn't mean it. Maybe he's just sensitive to that matter." He said sighing and coughing a bit more.

"Funny mortals, such nuisance". I smirked.

I snapped my finger and later on, they both fell to the ground. I vanished into the thick air of dark smoke, I wait and watch in the dark. When they woke up, The two of them look around, trying to recall what happened, but to no avail, their efforts are in vain.
