Chapter 4 - After Effects

As Habakkuk freaked out, he would then fall from the air into a deep forest.

Laying naked, he would get up wondering if he was still dreaming and then he would see a quick flash of Kayla's face.

He wakes up breathing really heavy and extremely sweaty and naked.

Habakkuk:What the hell is wrong with me?! I keep having these dreams of being chased by something I can't even see but it sounds really dangerous, then the constant falling from nowhere which everyone gets... but for some reason mine are extremely constant like every night, and now this weird dream?!

Habakkuk would be extremely hot even though he went to check the heat and it was on 60 he would still keep sweating and pacing around his room back and forth.

He would then grow agitated and started to constantly scratch his head and knock things over as he walks making really loud noises upstairs, everyone would be weary of him walking around upstairs.

Habakkuk:I can't take it anymore!!!

He would take a cold shower and as his emotions kept flopping and acting up he would then go from being agitated, relieved, angry, scared, then he would just sit down in the cold shower and start to cry but he didn't even know why so he laughed like a mad man.

A few moments later he would then have the urge to work out and get pumped up so he went into his basement and worked out for 4 hours, then he would go back to sleep in his room waking up seeing a dark shadow in his corner smiling at him and he would also see the old women around his bed pointing at him with their mouths open. Also there was a witch who causes sleep paralysis sitting on top of his legs facing him laughing and the dead's arms would be coming from his ceiling trying to grab him but as he tried to move or even scream he couldn't and then one of the old women would touch and rub on his face then would lick his face with her abnormally long pale blue tongue and then the witch on top of him would stab him in the chest while the dark figure in the corner would start to phase away laughing.

Habakkuk wakes up

Habakkuk:What the hell?!!!

He would then go to school with his usual attitude gone and he looked like he's seen a ghost and as his friends asked him what was wrong he answered "nothing I'm perfectly fine"

He would then walk into the bathroom and the bathroom would turn into a dark laboratory room and he was laying on the bed strapped up so he wouldn't get out and then three men with plague doctor mask wearing all black came into the room walking towards him and he would scream and then he would appear back into the normal bathroom and one of his friends came and asked what was wrong.

Devante:What's wrong?

Habakkuk:They came wearing masks…

Devante:what?

Habakkuk would walk away and Kayla would try to stop him and talk to him and he avoided her at all cost and went into the boys locker room to get ready for gym.

Devonte told everyone about how Habakkuk was acting and they didn't believe until they seen it. Usually Habakkuk comes and the locker room playful and goofy but this time he came in silent, calm, serious, and looked kinda off by the expression on his face and everyone asked was he okay and he responded "Yeah I'm fine". Usually Habakkuk asks his friends to wait for him while he puts lotion on but when they offered to wait for him, he responded "It's fine go on without me" in a calm deeply dead voice.

Everyone was playing sports and since a certain situation went on, gym was 2 hours and 35 minutes long.

There were multiple sports basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, and even dodgeball.

Habakkuk would walk up to the tennis game for a quick warm up and his friends would play as well and he beat them all without them even scoring a point. Then they all decided to play him at once and he surprisingly still beat them.

Habakkuk:Oh wow I won.

They were all shocked and they thought they could beat him in soccer but they all were entirely incorrect as he beat all of them without breaking a sweat

Habakkuk:Huh you don't see that everyday…

Devonte:I know for a fact he can't beat us in basketball! He said it himself that he's trash

Kyle: Alright bet lets go

They would both have Habakkuk on lockdown and would smack the ball out of his hand every time he tried to make a shot due to him getting all the rebounds it kept repeating and then when they finally got the ball, he went after them but they were way too nice for him as they would cross him up, make him stumble, fall,and would make fun of his basketball skills and how they're super trash.

Isaiah:You trash bro get off the court

Devonte: Bro do you only know how to play soccer and tennis jeesh

Everyone in the area would laugh including the girls as Habakkuk would be embarrassed

Habakkuk:No I'm good in fact I'm great at it!

But you and I both know that was a complete lie…

They would cross him, sauce him, and taunt him

Habakkuk would fall hard after tried to get the ball from Isaiah

Habakkuk would slowly get up and he would have a huge vein popping out on his forehead and he would stand up silently like he was before as his pupils seemed smaller than usual.

Devonte:He looks mad

Jacob:Should we calm him down?

Chance:We never seen him like this before

Isaiah would smirk as he dribbled the ball towards him and would start to use his moves that made Habakkuk fall. But then isaiah found himself dribbling with no ball

Habakkuk holding the ball "Looking for this?"

Isaiah:What the? How did you get the ball?

Habakkuk:How about you see for yourself

Isaiah would try to grab the ball as Habakkuk would cross him,sauce him,dodge him,and make him fall but his skills that were being shown were about 20 times better than Zay's

Isaiah:But how?! We were just playing around with you before how are you doing this?

Habakkuk would quit and go over to play dodgeball and beat everyone with his skills. He's dodging and jumping into the air and even doing backflips to escape the ball but while he's doing this he's also getting extremely hyper and excited from all of the momentum as he beats everyone they all quit but there was one guy…

Habakkuk:Wait I know you…

Josh:You're streak is now over kid!

Habakkuk:You're that really strong guy from volleyball!!

Habakkuk would jump in excitement

Josh:Yes I noticed you checking me out that day....

Habakkuk:You make that sound really creepy ya know that? I don't swing that way!

Josh:Seems that you're extremely childish as well but, I knew you wanted to challenge me back then but you were far too weak for me, you literally have to hit the ball to make it go flying while I just put my hand up and it goes flying from the impact.

Habakkuk:And that's why I wanna challenge you!

Habakkuk smiled

Josh:What are you taking steroids?!

Habakkuk:No! I don't know what's going on with me, but whatever it is I like it!!!

Josh:Hmmm...

Habakkuk:What about you?

Josh:I can't say…

Habakkuk:Oh okay…

Habakkuk gets hype and gets into a stance as he is ready to play dodgeball while Josh who's a really big boned heavy guy, just stands there

Josh:Go first…

Habakkuk:My pleasure!

Habakkuk would throw the ball as Josh barely even moved but dodged while everyone else would've got hit in under a second

Gym Teacher:That speed is something i've never seen before…

Habakkuk would shoot more balls as Josh would either dodge, catch them, or throw them back

Habakkuk would dodge but the wind from the ball would knock Habakkuk over as he got up and started to shoot more balls and josh is just dodging like nothing

Habakkuk:Shit, he's good!

Josh would throw two and as he did that Habakkuk would do a backflip to dodge one then he catches the other than throws it at Josh who easily catches it and throws it back using a little bit more strength than before and Habakkuk barely dodges as it almost hits him. Just from the wind alone he is knocked over and he falls and Josh throws two balls but this time even faster than before which scares everyone as they worried for Habakkuk and just as the ball almost hits him

He catches the ball and he would then dodge the other one with pure ease

Josh:What the?!

Josh would throw five more but as he threw them Habakkuk seen them in slow motion and dodged them all and would do a spin flip in the air and shoots the other ball he had in the hand and luckily for Josh he barely dodged but the wind made him fall and as he got up he saw a tint of green glow in Habakkuk's eye and seen Habakkuk with the meanest death stare with a stance of calmness and he would see the heat radiating off Habakkuk's body

Habakkuk would move his foot and as soon as he did that he would catch one of Josh balls that he just now threw

Habakkuk:I am not gonna lose!

And when Habakkuk made another death stare Josh gasped for air and then got back onto his feet as it was time for him to get serious

Habakkuk would look puzzled as he seen Josh's arms get bigger in a muscular way and Josh face would go from calm chubby nice guy to big buff body builder and the glow in his eyes were red

Kayla would sense all of this from her wand and use a spell so no one can know what's going on with Josh

Josh:Aaaaah!!!

Josh would clinch his fist and start to shoot balls from his muscular hands which made him 3 times faster and stronger than before and Habakkuk would dodge the balls but not by ease

Josh: I didn't know you would push me this far. For a regular human you are strong now take that with pride as I mop the floor with you!!!

Habakkuk is amazed by the force of Josh's aura

Habakkuk:This guy is not human!

Habakkuk:Alright let's get down to it! The real game begins now!!!

Habakkuk would grab a ball while Josh does the same

Habakkuk and Josh would go running at each other while they're shooting balls

The balls would either clash together or Habakkuk and Josh would dodge

Josh:You're not bad!

Habakkuk: I can say the same for you!

While they were saying this they were running around the gym doing flips and all sorts of tricks high in the air while they were still shooting balls

Josh would move in close as he shoots two balls and Habakkuk smack one with a ball and kick the other one back at Josh, but as he did that Josh also dodged

Habakkuk:You're amazing!!!

Josh would smile and shoot more balls as Habakkuk kicked two and ran on the wall and did a backflip kicking them back at Josh who easily caught them and chased after Habakkuk as the two of them would rapidly pick up balls and shoot them as they were both running really fast

All of the balls would hit each other and go flying everywhere and both Habakkuk and Josh would have to dodge those rapid speed balls while they actually snuck in a lots punches on each other but with Habakkuk dodging and Josh blocking, the fight was looking kind of even but more balls would go flying at them as they dodged and would be sliding off of the wall from their feet and would be shooting balls at each other in beyond human speeds

Habakkuk:We are completely equal!

Josh:That's what you think! Haaaaaah!!!

Habakkuk:?

Josh would get bulkier and shoot about ten more balls

Habakkuk:Woah what the hell?!!!

Habakkuk would dodge them all with high difficulty and as he struggled Josh would be throwing a lot more balls as Habakkuk would look like he was being pushed back, he would disappear and Josh would be wondering where he's at

Josh:where did he go?! That guy is way too unpredictable I need to be careful or I might just end up losing

Habakkuk:You're out!

Josh would turn around:What?!

Josh would instinctively shoot at ball at Habakkuk but Habakkuk would dodge and appear behind Josh touching him with the ball

Habakkuk:I said you're out, you should've listened the first time bro

Josh:Damn you win, fair and square good job kid

Habakkuk:You were amazing how are you this strong?!

Josh:I'll tell you later

Habakkuk:Okay answer me this

Josh:?

Habakkuk:Why didn't you play seriously?

Josh:I held back so I wouldn't kill you

Habakkuk smirked

Habakkuk:I figured that, see ya around

Josh:See you later kid

Josh would go back to being chubby and friendly while Habakkuk would be perfectly normal

Everyone wouldn't even know what happened but about time they figure out Habakkuk and Josh were playing dodgeball the bell would have ringed and they would be left wondering who won

Later on Habakkuk would be in bed and wakes up

Habakkuk:That was one crazy dream aww I wish it was real but, it's a good thing I didn't have one of those weirds dreams tonight hahaha

Little did he know it wasn't a dream…
