Chapter 4 - Beginning of a Journey Part 2

Ashido gets the box and brings it to his living room. Markos, Sofia, Akira, Chris, Jin and Kaori are present. Markos and Kaori are the only ones standing, the others are sitting.

"Okay, here is the box I was talking about." says Ashido as he places it on the table.

"You don't know the person who sent it." Markos asks.

"No. Do you think it was by accident?" Ashido asks.

"Could be." Jin responds.

"Let's see to check." Sofia suggests. Ashido opens up the box and finds a doll.

"What the?... a doll?" Ashido wonders.

"Okay... no way that's for you..." says Markos. Sofia then seems to get a headache, at first she was going to say how cute the doll is, but she feels noxious or she seems like she's going to vomit.

"Can you throw that thing away?" Sofia asks.

"Okay?" Ashido responds. Sofia is then on her knees and coughs.

"Sofia!" Markos helps her up.

"Let me help her." says Akira. Akira then takes Sofia to the toilet.

"Okay, throw it away." says Markos and Ashido does just that. Taking the doll outside and puts it in a garbage can. Ashido then notices a girl.

"Is there a Annabelle?" The girl asks.

"There is no Annabelle." Ashido responds.

"Hey Ashido..." Kaori appears.

"Hey Kaori."

"Who are you talking to?"

"This gi...rl?" The girl isn't there anymore "What the?"

"There's no one here." Kaori then walks inside. Ashido thought it was weird, but maybe it's just him.

In the toilet, Sofia is on the toilet seat vomiting hard.

"Jeez. You okay?" Akira asks.

"No..." Sofia responds before still vomiting.

"Yeah... I'll go back to the others."

"Okay." Sofia goes back to vomiting. Akira then leaves the toilet. The next thing she notices is some odd figure.

"Hello?" Akira asks. The figure then walks through a back door "Nope. Not following her." Akira is then about to walk away, but a another figure pushes her inside. Akira tried to break free, however is pushed inside the room. The figure closes the door and locks it. Akira begins to bang on the door "LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" The door then opens. As Akira was ready to fight, it was Sofia, still looking sick "Sofia?"

"What are you doing here, Akira?" Sofia asks, barely able to stand as well.

"Never mind." Akira responds. She didn't want to seem crazy.

"Okay..." Sofia tries walk back to the others and Akira follows. Akira does help Sofia.

"So... how long has it been?" Jin asks.

"For your info, it's been almost an hour." Chris responds. Jin is in shock.

"An hour? I thought it was three hours." Jin responds, he normally has a really good sense of time and is really patient.

"Weird..." Chris isn't sure what to say.

"Is my sense of time disturbed?" Jin asks to himself.

"First Sofia, then Ashido, now this?" Markos wonders "Ashido, you threw that doll away, right?"

"Yes." Ashido responds.

"We have to be careful." says Markos.

"Alright, just be safe." says Ashido. Markos and the gang walk back to their homes as Ashido goes to his room to prepare his stuff for the school trip.

Tom is flying to a floating cave of sorts. When he lands, he begins to walk inside it. There are guards everywhere, scientists doing some research to some rocks with creatures in them, as some other rocks are also broken and trying to prevent some from breaking. Tom spots a really good looking girl helping out all the scientists.

"Hey Aida." says Tom, getting Aita's attention.

"Yo Tom." Aita responds.

"What are the updates?"

"We're trying to prevent a lot of demons from trying to get out. Some weak level demons did get out, but they are nothing new."

"You mean those who can barely destroy a building?"

"Yeah those. Like the pigs."

"That's right. This is weird though. Why now?"

"I think he has gotten stronger since than."

"Sounds likely. But if that's the case, the newbies have to be ready." Some rocks crack but then the scientists take care of it.

Sofia is training with Markos in a backyard.

"Focus. Legend says you have to focus in order to activate your powers at first." says Luisa.

"Focus... too vague to be honest."

"Come on, it's simple." Luisa just snaps her fingers and Fire appears "See?"

"What the?! Let me do it." Markos raises and focuses, he just wants to end this, go home and tidy his stuff for the school trip. Markos raises his hand but lightning doesn't come. He focuses harder, only some gun shots are heard to him. Sofia tries to tell him what he needs to do, repeatedly, but then a girl yells his name "I KNOW! FOCUS! FOCUS! I GET THAT! I JUST CAN'T!!!! EVEN WITH YOU! I CAN'T!!!!!" Markos sits down and pants. Sofia places a hand on his shoulder.

"I understand your frustration. So, I won't pressure you. Whilst it won't stop me from actually getting you to do God work, I'll be ready when you want to do this kind of training." Sofia says all that with a smile "Now, let's go back inside."

Jin is ready to sleep however hears some noise and begins to walk outside. As he opens the window, someone tackles him to the ground.
