Chereads / Light! / Chapter 7 - Threat

Chapter 7 - Threat

There was nothingness at the moment, no sound, just pure darkness. It felt like time was still, like something was blocking the area. Everything started to get darker and darker to no return, a sense of death was roaming through the air, "Wake Up." John woke up quickly and started to pant with intensity, he felt that he was close to death, sweat immensely dropping down his pale face. John started to get scared, if he didn't wake up from that, would his life be over, and his soul be perished from that abyss called "Darkness ?" The young boy started to shiver; he actually survived the transportation from that portal. Even though he was scared at the moment, he thought of something. He's not at school anymore but maybe in a different dimension? Just thinking about that actually made him excited and not scared anymore, to John it was like he was in a fantasy world. What he always wanted was change, to be free and experience something different for a change. Ever since he entered Blackwell Academy, he started to get bored, everything to him started to get bland and grey. Everything from homework to tests started to get easier to John, to the point that he doesn't even study or even hear the lessons no more. For the last 5 months, John was only looking through the classroom window, fantasizing for something unique that would peak his interest. Finally, at this moment, his dream came true. But before he could daydream some more, he had to check if his body is alright. Both legs and arms are okay, everything was okay it seems. So, John stood up and started to stretch his whole body, *crack, crack* John was in shock when his whole body cracked at the same time but for some reason it felt good? He started to shake his head.

John: I'll worry about that later, right now I need to focus. *pats his whole body from dusts* Alright so where to begin?

John viewed his surrounding, but nothing was there, everything was white, so he started to jump, run, anything to see if anything changed but nothing happened. So, he started to walk to see if there was anything, he doesn't know how long he walked but it felt like hours maybe even days. He started to get scared.

John: Maybe I was sent to nothingness? Damn! I can't be stranded here like this, there has to be a way out of here but what? Think John think! You can't stay here forever.

Hours and hours walking back and forth, John was thinking and planning. He checked his pockets to see if he had anything that could help him but sadly, he was wearing pj's, they don't have any pockets. John started to get frustrated which shows him messing up his hair while puffing at rage. He blamed himself for what he has done, he thought that going through that portal he could experience something different, which he sure did, he is experiencing a nightmare at this moment. John started to curse at the portal as well, bewitching him with greed, thinking he could go to a fantasy world, become a hero and even marry the king's daughter as a reward. But alas, he is stuck here in a middle of nothingness while hearing some strange noise like echoes. While grumbling, John lied down from the ground faced up.

John: So, this is my fate? *sigh* I wonder how my mother is doing… I really miss her, Heck I even miss that cocky devil Mr. Rodgers, that blonde model and her… she really looked pretty even though she was arrogant.

Tears started to fall down his face, sobbing and snivel echoing around the area. John turned his body to the right, and in a fetal position, he cried his sadness to sleep.

*clink, clink* Through the darkness, you can hear noises of swords clashing, everybody was screaming in pain and anguish, everything was bloody from the kingdom to the cities, a sea of blood was everywhere.

BROOOOOTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

John jumped up in shock, his whole body was full of sweat from head to feet.

John: *pant, pant* What the hell was that? Why do I keep having these dreams? Why why why why!

John rose up, and started to punch the air everywhere in frustration, he hated the unknown. He hated that he doesn't know what's going on to him. He feels that someone is controlling his life which he despises. His whole life was lonely, he never knew his father, which he has a deep longing to know who he is, he doesn't have any close friends to spend time with, no girlfriend to take to dates, no cousins or uncles to hang out with. The only thing he had was himself and his mother, but now its just him, alone in white hell. For a while, he finally stopped and shook his head.

John: I can't give up, till my last breath, there is still hope

The young boy continued walking the unknown, for hours till he noticed something. He saw dots in front, from afar he can finally see something! He started to run to that direction. John was getting close, but he noticed that once he was close, it started to get cold and then hot, John was feeling really bad. His body felt really weak, but he couldn't stop, he ignored what he was feeling and started running with more passion, it started to get windy and John noticed that when he looked up lightning started to descend where he was. *Boooooooom* John moved away in just in time, his eyes started to shrink, it seemed that weather itself is his enemy. Fire, water, wind, lightning was in front of him ready to take him on if he continued walking forward. Clenching his fist, John was more determined, closed his eyes, breathed in and out till he opened his eyes again.

John: I won't stop! Ill never give up till I know what's there in the other side, I will win this battle!
