She blinked up at him in confusion. What a strange man. 'What am I?' What a weird thing to say. He looked down at her and sighed. At this point he had already stood up from hugging her.
"Little girl stop referring to me as a he" 'she' said in slight annoyance.
"Oh so your a girl? Wait I never said you were a dude though...."
"I'm not female either."
....
She took a long pause of thinking it over before coming to a conclusion.
"Aha so you are one of those then!"
'They' (she felt so proud of herself for figuring this out) were getting more and more irritated by the second.
"Child listen to me. I am 'The Void' I have no gender."
"Well that's what I meant. I understood you this time you don't need to repeat it....."
"You clearly don't understand.... your brain seems to be getting the wrong idea...."
"No no Devoid I think I'm right you just don't know how to communicate properly."
"Devoid?!!! I have no name, I have no gender, but I'm not a they, my goodness child I'm not even human. This is why I don't spend much conversation time with humans. They're all empty up there."
"You some kind of wacko?!!! I don't understand you at all... fuck this I'm calling the cops...."
"They'll think your delusional if you do so little girl."
"Dude your like dressed as if your in ancient times, you don't live here, and your spouting nonsense. I'm pretty sure the cops will think your delusional."
"Then call them child"
She grabbed her phone.....
She looked up at him.....
He may be delusional and borderline crazy but he didn't seem to have bad intentions.
What the hell he still broke in to her house.
Without her permission. (ര̀⍨ര́)و ̑̑༉
She glared up at him, punching in the 9 digit.
He did nothing
She punched in the 1 digit.
He still did nothing.
She was about to type in the final one when....
"Listen could you stop referring to me as a 'he'"
"BUT I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING!"
"Stop loosing your temper and think. You said it here." He-They poked her forehead.
"Jeez man you some kind of psychic??"
"Your a strange human... aren't u in the least bit scared?" It slowly and suspiciously said as it started backing away.
"Umm why? your just some psycho weird man."
"...."
What a strange human. Humans normally became petrified when they first saw The Void appear out of nowhere. The Void then had to start making itself appear more human-like so as not to frighten them. Of course this was all for naught, and they normally froze on the spot at Void's sudden appearance.
They became rather meek at the echo of it's deep and masculine voice.
They froze at it's ability to read their minds.
It's human appearance used to be viewed as handsome but now humans seemed to think it only added to Void's terrifying image.
But this little human girl...
How strange...
But also enjoyable. Void was glad. The Void was a subject that humans mostly found sinister and eerie. But that's not really how it was. The Void was quiet kind.
However most humans misunderstood the things they didn't understand as evil. Void never thought the gods would think the same as the humans. Void thought that gods were intelligent beings. But really their just as stupid as humans with more knowledge at their disposal. Too bad they never used that knowledge.
The Void doesn't want to degrade humans or gods. That isn't his intention. He views himself to be just as idiotic as the humans and the gods. Void just wishes they'd be less judgmental.
Although that was rather unfair of Void to say. After all there were many humans currently living in void, (Yours truly lives there ฅ⁽͑ ˚̀ ˙̭ ˚́ ⁾̉ฅ) and trusting in its abilities.
But that was different. Even they had feared it in the beginning. They judged Void at first. They were just open minded enough to move past judgments. But this strange little girl...
Just thought it was weird.
The void smiled to itself.
But then there was a large banging on the door. Void looked down at the girl and saw her grinning ear to ear as she was on the phone with the emergency number.
Void rolled it's eyes and followed the girl downstairs where she swung the door open, completely forgetting about the events that had happened prior to his arrival.
'Good.' Void thought. Void didn't like how wicked the human world was. Everyone was always depressed, angry with each other or just empty. Void didn't like that. Void wanted humanity to be happy. But the gods never even bothered fixing humanity's problems. They all thought in the mindset of "your problem, you fix it." Even though they were the causes of such useless problems.
Since the gods were very lazy and practically abandoned humanity the earth was just one big mess. Everyone was going up against everyone. Fleeting moments of happiness were never permanent. Ever. True the same could be said about all negative emotions, but what was the point if the negative outweighed the positive?
Void realized that it had gotten lost in it's thoughts. Again. Void did that often as there was not much to talk to when Void was only able to hold a conversation with... well Void. That's why Void always welcomed humanity. Void helped them escape their problems and the cruelty of earth, and they helped Void erase his loneliness.
Void focused back on the situation at hand.
The girl was arguing with the police pointing at The Void. Void gave his sympathy to the poor people who had to interrupt their work over such a ridiculous circumstance.
The police were now scolding the girl telling her she shouldn't use 911 unless there was a real emergency.
"Look miss I get your still young and people around your age love messing around. But please try to mess around in a way that doesn't affect other people."
"BUT HE'S RIGHT THERE!!!"
"*cough* it *cough*" Void interrupted.
She glared at it for a split second before turning back to the officer.
"Look officer I swear to you I'm not crazy nor am I playing a prank."
"Look miss, you need to learn respect for your elders. The world isn't centered around you. I hope you'll realize that. Now is there anyone at home with you? We need to have a serious conversation before-"
Void grabbed the arm of the poor girl. It felt guilty for putting her in a situation that may affect the way other people view her. So it naturally reverted the time to 10 minutes prior. As it was touching her it brought her with. Meaning she retained all her memories.
And before you start. Never question the abilities of The Void. The void transcends time and space. Whose to say it can't reverse time? Although Void finds embarrassment hidden in the fact that it can't reverse time for more than 26 years. Never mention this in front of Void as it is very easily embarrassed or upset.
"-NING TO ME?!!!!"
"Huh?"
"Are you finally listening? Jeez it's about time."
"...."
"Now then, we need to find out exactly what just happened."
"Hmm?"
"The police officers are gone. Like, just disappeared. And we just reappeared right back up here again. So confusing, it's like I'm
In some supernatural or fantasy type book."
"Look at the time on your phone" The Void said seemingly without interest. When in actuality he was curious to see how she would react.
She pulled up her phone and stared in shock.
17:06/5:06pm
She had made the call at 17:07/5:07pm. Exactly one minute in the future. She knew the exact time because she had seen the time on her phone as she was making the call. And as shes said before. She's very precise with time. There was no way she had made a mistake.
She looked up again and then realized that he somehow knew the time would have reversed. 'That means that he wasn't kidding when he said he was reading my mind. And it also means he was the reason we're back in time. Ah and he must have done something so the police wouldn't believe me. Hmmm'
"The level of human stupidity is quite ridiculous. You believe every lie that is spoken to you and you don't believe anything u hear when it's true."
"Listen man that's not..."
"Right. I apologize. That's not how I meant it. What I meant is you only believe things that sound believable. That is, believable to the ears of your species. Completely ignoring the truths of other species. Meaning your believing so many lies and ignoring so many truths."
"Ok listen here Devoid...."
"I don't have a name. I have no Idea where your getting this 'Devoid' from."
"Umm earlier you said something along the lines of 'I am Devoid.' Or something."
"I said I am THE Void. THE."
"That's a weird name."
"No. Not name. My being, my existence."
"..."
Void looked at how confused it was making her. It was a major inconvenience but it liked the way she tried to figure things out.
It smiled at her and said "here let me show you." And it grabbed her hand and expanded. It went back to it's original space, a space that wasn't even in the same universe as earth. It occupied a place that could be described as a completely new space altogether. As it was back in its original space it took over its original form.
The girl stared around in confusion trying to find it, but she couldn't.
Of course she couldn't.
Since she was inside The Void at this very moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tora just finished Tennis and was in a really good mood. She went to the locker room and quickly changed.
People always laughed at how quick and eager she was to get everything done. But she didn't care. In fact there was not much to care for at all.
If she were being honest she usually felt no emotions. She faked them really well though. Everyone thought she was the most happy and cheerful girl out there.
Hah.
So very very ludicrous. In reality she had no happiness. Nor did she have any sadness or sympathy.
Towards most things.
Actually all Tora had to give her emotions to were Tennis and Azumi. The thought of Azumi immediately brought her into a happy mood.
Earlier this morning she had experienced a most wonderful feeling. She made it seem as if it were an accident but....
When she jumped at Azumi, she had Intended for them to fall. And she was so glad she had done it. Her mind went back to the moment where she had Azumi underneath her.
It made her feel guilty to have such thoughts so she tried pushing them out of her mind. But it kept coming back over and over again 'stupid puberty' she had thought to herself.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket knowing that Azumi would have texted her in this short period of time. Since she normally did.
But all that waited for her
Was 27 missed calls
