Call from an Unknown Source

Day 1: XX-XX-XX

Echan, being notorious, I hided myself under my spacious bed. I heard a pair of foot steps coming towards my bedroom. I knew who it was. I can hear the loud thumping of my heart breaking a complete silence of the room. A sudden long yet tiny hands reaches my hair, grabbing me outside, dragging me towards the door. I can hear a hysterical laugh from the culprit. My younger brother.

"ahhh... Mom. It hurts. I gave up. You won. Let it go!" I scream in a painful voice.

"Within five minutes. Get your *** back down!!"She commanded and left the room.

"ughhh. Whatever", rubbing my head. I let out a deep sigh.

I was more worried about my poor hair, lying on a floor, completely lifeless.

My raging gaze directly went to my brother's direction. He saw that coming. Without hesitation he ran away and me chasing behind him.

We parked a car in our usual spot. It's a family tradition, once a month, to visit a shrine. This never interest me.

I saw my parents bowing to one of the grand warden. They talk for a while then looked towards our direction.

We enter the entrance gate, following with paying respect and bowing. Proceeding towards the main gate, the quiet and tranquility atmosphere seems to be calling out my name. No wonder I lost my track and found myself alone.

Roaming here and there. I saw a familiar figure, Grand Warden, coming towards my direction, his figure was crystal clear. In his late forties, physically in shape and much younger. Wearing a red robes with gold trim, along with white toga drapped around his torso.

His wandering gaze came up to my face and shifted reflectively to my right side as someone was standing there. I turned around to check, his intense gaze never leaving my side. I notice him mumbling something, moving his hands in an empty space. Without saying anything. He left.

What just happen.

Out of curiousity, I chased after him. To my surprise, I overheard the guardian's conversation, messing up my million cells of my brain.

I couldn't rest. All I could do was recall everything. The last thing I remember was sudden darkness took over me. Fallen asleep.

I was running. I know if I stop right now. I would die. Running for my life from the unknown source. I felt the darkness hovering over me which reminds me of dementors from Harry Potter. A distant unknown voices distracted me, forcing me to move in that direction. Someone was calling me.

"You're One of us",an unfamiliar voice rang in my head

"Who are you?", I asked in a puzzle way.

"We're here", the same voice echoed again, this time more louder.

"Where are you?", I asked earnestly.

"Come here Eleza", a new voice echoed and faded soon.

I wake up abruptly gasping for an air. A nightmare. It was midnight already, all I could hear was sound of my trembling faint heart. My body seems to be numb out of fear.

Days passed by. I never heard that voice again. Things were going smoothly.

By the time, I was on my way to home. I saw a familiar figure standing exactly across to me. That freaks me out. What are you? A teleporting machine. My inner heart scream me to run away, but my brain stopped me. I took all the courage to ask him but before I could ask anything.

"Follow me", he said in a serious tone.

He can speak. I thought myself.

Without saying anything. My tremble feet starts to follow him.

Something was strange this time. While I was taking a one step. Everything around me seems to stop. I looked around to find myself in a whole new different world. I was astonished by what I was seeing.

Is this for real?
