Chapter 3 - Ren

Thomas heard a voice, it was odd because it sounded like it was coming from inside his head unlike the mumbling he heard all around him.

"Haha. Finally I was starting to get very bored sitting around waiting for you to be born."

He didn't know what to think after hearing that. "What?" Thomas thought.

But before I could hear anything else he felt a sharp pain imitating from a lower part of his back.

"Ahhh" Thomas screamed, but the dark figures around him seem to get even happier, "What the fuck!!" Thomas yelled

"Oh stop whining, they are just happy because it was a 10 hour delivery, oh and that pain was just your ass being smacked by the doctor, he has to make sure the new born is alive you know?" The unknown voice inside his head said.

"Who are you? Where am I? Why can't I see anyone? Why can I understand you and not them? Why can I hear you inside my head?" Thomas shout out a barrage of questions.

" OK now, slow down one thing at a time okay? First of all you can call me Ren, Second you can't see because you were just born you have not been cleaned up yet" Ren said.

"Wait!! What do you mean I was just born?" Thomas questioned.

"Oh right, you have died and reincarnated into a new life. Ren said.

Thomas thoughts were everywhere after that statement, he didn't know what to think. "How is this possible? I felt like I was in that place for a long time."

"That's not relevant at the moment, anyways on to the next question." Ren said.

"You can understand me because I'm speaking directly to you inside your head, i'm attached to you now ever since you died." Ren said with a tint of laughter in his voice.

"What do you mean?" Thomas can I help but ask.

"Do you not remember what you saw after your death?" Ren asked.

"I remember I touched the mirror and everything turned to crap!" Thomas couldn't help but curse after he remembered the mirror in the event that followed.

"Ah yes, but do you remember why you touched the mirror?" Ren questioned.

"Uhh." Thomas couldn't remember right away it took him a second. "Yeah I heard someone whispering to me, telling me to touch it."

"Yes, that was me." Ren chuckled a little. "I watched you get killed from that pathetic child you called Chris."

"You watched? Thomas asked "why didn't you help me instead of just watching?" Thomas couldn't understand how someone could just watch Chris kill him.

"Oh, yeah about that. I couldn't really help, do you remember what you saw inside the mirror before you touched it?" Ren asked.

"Not really." Thomas really couldn't remember he was having a hard time processing all the information he has obtained so far.

"How about you refresh my memory?" Thomas asked.

"After you died was when I could help you, if I didn't you would not have been reincarnated, I shielded you in that pure white place." Ren said.

"I attached myself to your shadow, It was the only way to reincarnate you, your mind was weak and would have shattered in that white place if not for me, you're welcome." Ren said with pride filling his voice.

Thomas started to remember how his shadow started to move before he touched the the mirror. "Wait, I remember that. That was you?"

"Yup, anyways enough questions for now looks like you're clean try to open your eyes and meet your new mother." Ren said.

As soon as he said that Thomas felt a warm in-brace he struggled to open his eyes and his vision slowly started to clear.

He saw a beautiful woman with long blonde hair that had red streaks going through it, she looked liked she was in her early 20s.

She started to speak to Thomas but he still can't understand her. "Ren why can't I understand what she is saying?" Thomas asked.

"That's because she is speaking in a different language from what you are used to." Ren said.

As Ren saying that Thomas seen the beautiful woman lifting her hand and a cup of water floating into it.

"WHAT THE FUCK???"
