The snow falls gracefully and Christmas creeps around the corner once again.
"So where do we go now?" Jeffery asked, walking side by side with me and Chloe.
"To Cerulean of course." I responded.
"We're going to get our second badge right Zorua?"
Zorua wagged her tail intensely from excitement.
Chloe's pokemon watches as the snowflakes fall down from above and stretches its tongue out to catch one but ends up sneezing.
This whole journey so far has been a wild ride .
I don't know why I came to this world but I have a feeling that what I'm supposed to do .. I'm doing it somewhat fine already.

"Welcome back Altan." I was just walking into a classroom...
Class hasn't started yet but my friends were there waiting for me in this small little circle we sit in.
"Hurry, come sit with us!" a girl with yellow hair and cyan eyes called out to me.
I went in their direction and had a seat.
I could only make out two faces: the girl with the yellow hair and a boy with white hair that faded into black.
Both of their skins were fair in complexion....
I tried looking at the others but their faces were completely blank and had the same copy paste hairstyle.
((Save me!))
I quickly looked at the direction of the sound and it came from the girl with the yellow hair...but she was smiling and didn't move her lips.
((why did you leave.))
"Altan? you ok why are you looking at hanna like that?"
I snapped out of my daze and looked at the guy with the white hair. He looked slightly pissed.
"sorry..." I apologized to her.
"You don't have to apologize its alright.'' Hanna laughed it off.
"You dont have to be mad either Jacan."
a
Jacan puts on a smile and apologizes but I can tell that smile is fake.
"Altan?" I quickly turned to Hanna after hearing her call my name but when I did I saw quick flashes of a rope hugging her neck while blood ran from her eyes and mouth.
Soon enough the flashes stopped and the picture of her with a rope around her neck stayed.
The blood from her eyes and mouth ran down from her beaten body to the ground until it filled the room slowly.
Both me and Jacan struggled to keep our head above the pool of blood but after that it was a blur.
I don't remember a lot of what happened then all I remember is eventually drowning and Jacan cursing me saying this is my fault.
I know I remember....
I had a crush on that girl...

The snow was cold.
Cold to the point where I don't feel a thing. Almost as cold as my first encounter with this world.
...
..
....
"Ayuna! ....Ayuna!" I heard a quick but crisp sound and a sharp pain to my cheek lingered afterward.
I opened my eyes to see Chloe but as a child from daycare only to blink to see her back to normal.
She was grabbing me by the collar, very concerned with what just happened.
"you just fell down in the snow out of nowhere! Are you trying to give us a heart attack??"
I looked around to see Jeffery and Zorua near me looking at me as if I were close to dying.
I got up from the snow without saying a word or without warning realizing too late that Chloe wasn't off of me yet.
We ended up hitting heads...
"ow owowow." Chloe held her head in pain and I did the same.
When I looked back in front of me I saw a very angry face about to hit me but it looked like she changed her mind and just got off.
Jeffery and Zorua gave each other this look like they knew something I don't.
"Get up we need to leave for Cerulean ...the caves aren't gonna be any warmer."
Chloe started to walk ahead
Both me and Jeffery nodded and followed her.
