Chereads / The Path: My Path (HIATUS) / Chapter 2 - Death

Chapter 2 - Death

*TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP*

All I hear is the tapping of boots on the ground as the mysterious boss of the organization that most people never get to see in their entire life approaches me. Not even the big-shot government organizations such as the FBI or CIA has a profile of this boss, but I know his face all too well, It is this face that I have the deepest hatred for, that I wish I could smash in, it was this face that put me into this situation. He walks up till he has his face directly in front of me, he isn't scared even if I am not chained, with all the experiments and stuff they did to me, I can't even move my tongue, much less my body.

He looks down on me condescendingly and says " None of this would have ever happened if only you took up my offer, it was a simple offer that was beneficial to us both, all you had to do was devote your life to me and teach some new students, that was all. "

With a massive fire of rage burning in my chest, I wanted to spit on his face, tear off that look of his and say " One day I will get my revenge, I will give you life so torturous you that what you did to me would look like a great life ", but unfortunately I can't say anything, I can only look him in the eye and listen to his ramblings.

He continues "Oh don't look at me like that, with that fire of hatred in your eyes, you should know that this was all your fault in the end." He says this like it is a matter of course.

He stays silent while looking deeply at me, that look that seems like it will pierce your soul, knows everything about you, it was the look that you simply can't hide from. It seemed like he was contemplating a very important choice, after around 5 minutes he turns around showing his back to me, and says "It's been 2 years since we have started experimenting on you and I didn't really want to end stuff like this, I wanted to continue experimenting on you because it looks like your body just doesn't get affected from the chemicals but it seems that your body has deteriorated to the point that it is useless to us... "

He turns around towards me so I can see his face again and it seems that there is regret, but what caught my eye wasn't the regret but the gun in his hand, it was a silver Colt M1911A1 with some golden touches.

"You know, 50 years ago you were born, today is your birthday."

I got surprised by this since in this room there is no concept of time and I don't know how long I have been here, but I am more intrigued by what he is trying to accomplish by telling me this information.

"Hahaha, surprised? Yeah, today is your birthday, and I have come to give you two gifts."

He checks the magazine of the gun and there is exactly 1 bullet with the same theme of the gun.

"It is this bullet, just for you, I had someone make a special bullet of silver and gold, it cost me quite a lot of money."

He puts the magazine back in the gun and aims it at my head and with a smug smile he says

"This bullet is my first gift for you, and my second gift....."

At the same time he pulls the trigger he laughed and said

"It is the relief to be free from this world"

My vision goes dark, my body feels heavy. 'Is this death? Am I going to spend eternity in here?'

I see a light and want to move toward it but my body won't move, I don't know if its because I haven't moved in 2 years or because my body is this heavy.

It was at this time when I hear but also don't hear a voice, it was very ethereal, I simply can't focus on it but I can understand what it is saying, almost as if the information is planted in my head.

"Oh you can't move in this space, let me help you out."

It was at this time that I felt a very strong suction coming from somewhere, it didn't pull me towards the light as I expected but a hole opened up a bit behind me, it was so dark that it was darker than a place without light, it was without a doubt the darkest thing I have ever seen.

After I got sucked into this hole, everything became black, I couldn't spot the light from earlier, everything was pitch black and I even started to get a headache but then I heard the voice again.

"Oh I forgot that the vision of a mortal soul cant see and comprehend this kind of stuff, it has been way too long since I interacted with any being to be honest, let me fix that."

As soon as the voice finished the sentence, different colors started to leak into the space, it almost looked like I was in a black box and oil paint started to seep in from the gaps, this feeling nauseated me so badly but I endured it, the thing that looked like oil paint finally finished doing whatever it was doing and it seemed to be 'painting' a room, because there was none of the previous pitch-black space left, it only seemed like I was now in a very grand castle throne room, the beauty and grace was otherworldly, I have never seen anything like it before, no place on earth could compare.

I got snapped out of my daze when I heard the voice again.

"Ahhh that took a lot of energy, this is really an all or nothing gamble, oh by the way, I completely healed you, you should be able to walk and talk now. "

I was truly surprised by what the voice was saying, but I believed it for some reason, almost like everything it said was true, so I tried speaking.

"Ah, h-hh-hel-hello." At first it came out hoarse and was a bit difficult to do but I managed in the end, so I decided to start asking important questions in a calm and composed tone.

"Who are you? where are you? where is this?"

The voice seemed stunned for a bit before...

"HAHAHAHAHA, you are very funny, hahaha, okay, calm down little guy. I will answer all your questions, we have a deal to make after all."

I was confused by what the voice was saying, we have a deal to make?

Slowly small balls of light started to gather towards the throne, at first it was very minuscule that I couldn't spot it with my eye but the more they gathered, the more I saw. It all started collecting and forming a humanoid figure that was sitting on the throne, it was a pure mass of light, it had no details, so I couldn't see any face, and the edges came off blurry so I couldn't really make out its form, I knew nothing except that it was a humanoid figure.

I heard the voice again, this time I tried to focus but I couldn't make out anything of the voice, it was like information was being passed to my head, I could feel it was being serious even if I can't 'hear' what it said.

"Alright, here I am, you can start asking questions since you are a bit 'special'"
