Chapter 2 - Chapter 1, Introduction

My name is Qreiyl (Crale), Qreiyl Magraz.

A weird name, as you could say so. There's no real meaning behind it, only a weird combination that happens to be sound cool.

When I discovered the power to go back in time, I was 14.

....

If I remember...

....

At that time..

I was down, certainly, because of something I regret. At that time I was very sad, felt a little lonely, and mostly bored. As for the main reason is.. Why?

....

\\\

"It's so~ Green..."

\\\

....

'Wait? Seriously? We're going to start living here from now on?

Seriously? You're not kidding me- what? Seriously??'

*SIGH*

March 26th of the year 2020. We moved location, to this rural kind of town.

As I thought it would be an early vacation.. Turns out, it was a change of address. From a "Welcome! Dear School Break", to a "Welcome Home! Dear New Life.."

....

'Seriously!? There's nothing in here!

Not a source of Internet!

Not a place to hangout like on the arcade center!

And for a freaking data for my phone, it so damn weak!

And what's the worst of all, I have no friends to start with..'

....

\\\

"At least~ Send me all my friends here!!(Shouts)"

\\\

....

'You've got to be kidding me! Why does it have to be in here??

I can't stop recalling what I said to them when I left school so early..'

....

....

[ (Flashback)

"Bye~Bye! Everyone~! Enjoy your final Exam~! Hehehehe~! Oh? Don't worry! I'll be sure to cheer you on! Bwaahaahaha! Alright~! Sweet Vacation~! Woohoo~!"

\\\

....

*MEANWHILE ON THE ROAD*

....

\\\

"Hmmhe~heheyehahashsh~(Sound of Mockery Leaking)...*HUMMING*..."

\\\

....

'Now now now~! What should I do? I can't contain this feeling~ this is the best! I feel like I'm the boss...'

....

\\\

"Hmhmhmhmhmhmmm~"

\\\

....

All the while. My Dad who's in the front seat, and hands on the wheel, was showing his face of uncertainty, whether he would spoil it or not. Listening to the sound of me, holding my laugh, makes the even more harder to decide.

....

....

'Oh? Wait!? I thought of an idea! Yeah~ On the day of exam, I should send them a picture of me having a cup coffee in a nice looking view...ehe~!

Then~ I'll make a caption, like.. How's it going everyone? Are you doing well~?, something like that? Ahh~I can't wait~

(...) Imagine that superiority I've got?While they're doing the Hard Work~..

Here I AM~ RELAXING~!!'

....

\\\

(Dad) "Uhh..? Qreiyl.. Sorry if we didn't tell you, but just to have you let you know.. Today's destination is where we will be starting to live from now on.."

\\\

"Bwahahahahaha-...?? Eh?

Huh? Pa? Did you say something to me? I think I misheard something right now..."

\\\

"I SAID- Our destination today~ will be our new home..."

\\\

"Qreiyl, Sorry~! Forgive us if we didn't tell you..."

\\\

"Huhh!??" ... ]

....

....

'Sadly.. that was actually the last time I saw them.'

....

\\\

"Ughh! I wanna go home!"

\\\

....

'Said, actually, this is my new home now..

What should I do? Go back? My former home?

What makes of a home, a "home", anyway?

A home is- a place of comfort?

Is this place, comfortable?

Absolutely no!

I wanna go back!

*SIGH*

The question is.. How?

I really wanna go back! I really wanna go home!

But how should I do it?

Walk? Not an option.

Bike? Thinking about it is already exhausting enough..

Bus ride? For the meanwhile I need food for sustaina-.. This is hopeless..

....

*SIGH*

....

This is stupid.. I'm stupid...

....

Anyway, I wonder, are they doing fine with the exams today? If I remember, math problems were a total disaster for me. They will probably be having a hard time solving those...

....

On second thought, this place- is like seriously~ so green!

Ahhh~ is there anything I can do? I'm bored!

What should I do? This place is only a paradise for old geeks!

Anyway, what time is it now?

*PROCEEDS TO CHECK THE PHONE*

Oh? It's already pass 2 in the afternoon. I haven't eaten lunch, yet..

I better go-'

!!!

....

Suddenly, a sensation of force struck my forehead in an instant, then followed by a tingling and very sharp feeling, pierce across my head. Then immediately, a revealing flash came in an instant.

....

\\\

*GUNSHOT*

".....StOP!STOP!!~sOMeBOdy!!HELP!!HahAHaHaHA~!AaA~GHh!MAMA!~pLeASeSTOP!! MAMA!!....Goodbye!..."

....

*GUNSHOT*

\\\

....

A highlighting of a gun pointing at me...

....

Subconsciously, I fell down on my knees. For as the highlight that flashing on my thoughts was the same.

....

A gun pointing to my head and I was kneeling...

Subconsciously, I also look above as if there was a gun pointing at me.

But that wasn't the problem. For as for me, currently, inside my mind I was suffering on the sudden burst of memories that came in an instant.

As in just a mere seconds- nope... not even a second... for it was a just a blink of an instant. A month of memories came to me in an instant, and in an instant, I received the feeling of that gunshot as a memory.

If I were to recognize it, there was no pain, but just a huge shock of force that hit and pierce me right at the forehead. As it drills through me, it felt kind of hot and burning. And I lost control of my eyes as I didn't hope for them to close. But it did, and what's closing behind afterwards, I also remember them...

....

It hurts! Not in the mind.. not in the any parts of my body.. But in my heart.

In just a mere seconds, I felt like I have lost something... No! I really lost something! Someone! In that instant it all felt real...

....

\\\

"No.. way..? This? Is a lie? right?"

\\\

....

Immediately, I got up and ran towards back home, to where I have to confirm something.

....

'I'm scared!

....

I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!

....

This has to be wrong! This can't be right! You have to be wrong!...

No!... No!... No!...

No!...'

....

\\\

"No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!"

\\\

....

Immediately, as I got home...

....

\\\

"Ma!? Ma!? Pa!? Where are you!?"

\\\

....

Quickly, I searched around the house, but I found them none...

....

None! Not here! Not here! Not here! They are not here!?

....

\\\

"MAMA!?... PAPA!?... Where are you!?"

\\\

....

'No way... No way... Where are you? Pa!? Ma!?'

....

'This has to be wrong... I have to be wrong...

This can't be...'

....

!!!

....

*THE SOUNDS OF A CAR, PARKING DOWN THE LOT*

....

*CAR DOOR OPENS/CLOSES*

....

*VOICES*

....

\\\

"~That was amazing! The town actually has a lot to offer. I was surprise seeing those things available in this region."

\\\

"Right!? I was surprised too..."

\\\

"It seems like there's no need to worry about going out of town to get what we need..

....

Ah?... Is Q still not back home yet? It might be bad if there's no one left to see the house..."

\\\

"Well, there's not much people around here-"

\\\

"That's right there! That's the problem... Since there's not much people around, anybody would have the mind to break in..."

\\\

"Oh-?uhmm...? Is that a thing? I hope that wouldn't cross my mind if I ever see a lonely house.."

\\\

"We're home!...

Qreiyl? Are you here?"

\\\

....

After seeing their faces. My tears came running down to my face as I burst down right deep in my heart, feeling so relief.

....

\\\

"Qreiyl? What's wrong? Are you alright?"

My mother said, sounded so worry.

I'm even more relief hearing her voice.

\\\

"Qreiyl.. Sorry that we have to moved in a sudden like this. You must have miss your home back there with your friends..."

\\\

....

'No...

I was so scared... I was so, so scared...

I'm so scared.'

....

\\\

"This place is fine, Papa... I like this place!"

\\\

....

'This tears... You're wrong about them... They were wrong about this tears...

Supposedly they were right about me missing my home, but this is a safer and better place right now. I don't want to lose this, I want to live and see more of my days with them.

I don't ever want to lose them...'

....

I smiled, genuinely...

....

If this is my second chance...

....

....

I don't want to lose it...
