Everybody is very busy as it's usually the case. No one wouldn't even suspect that a few minutes ago something happened to them that'll change their lives forever. But as nature has taught everyone that there will always be some exceptions, there was one in this case too. Aion has witnessed glimpses of what is to come.
11:00 AM
I wonder what was that dark space-like flower. It just stopped time for a few moments then everything came back to normal as if nothing had happened. And the flower was gone too. I could not find it anywhere near my house. Add to that why it was only me that could move in that situation. It seems I can't remember much of it. What I can recall are only fragmental memories. Now that I think about it I'm sure I saw my body holding Selene... but how? I think it might be related to.....
Suddenly the news anchor announced breaking news as Aion was thinking about the incident.
"What! That many?" exclaimed Selene.
"How can those numbers be true....?"
At that moment Aion came to the conclusion that the space flower 'thing' was responsible for those missing people. his reason being there is no way two out-of-the-ordinary things can happen at the same time. But the question remains how?
How can these two things can be related... unless someone else besides me can move freely and kidnap people who are frozen in time. But then again how can someone move so many people in a short amount of time? Wait! Was that time even short... I can't fully remember what happened at that time, then how can I be so sure that the time freeze happened only for a few minutes...maybe just maybe I did too.....
*crackle*crackle*JZZT*Flash*
At that moment it happened again. Time had stopped. Everything became black and white. The whole world came to a stop. Time started moving again.
"What! Not again! Lytros! Lytros!" Tristo shouted her name as he went to the kitchen and saw Lytros was frozen in time. "Damn it. again!?" "hmm.. I can move and I'm watching things from my body!?"
He realized unlike last time when he saw everything from above, he is now seeing everything as he normally does. He thought he needed to confirm something so he ran out of his home and went straight to the direction of the city downtown. As he was running he was searching for anyone beside him who was moving but could not find anything of such. It took him about 10 minutes to reach the downtown area. When he reached there he saw nothing out of the ordinary except the fact that everyone was frozen in time. He thought that this area was full of people, so this time many people from here would disappear. But they didn't, at least in huge numbers. Still, there might be a few people who had disappeared. But there's no way of knowing that. Then he was pondering upon what to do next. As he was thinking everything came back to normal. Everything started to move again. Tristo was startled for a moment to see everything moving again. He looked around for anything out of the ordinary. But It seemed nothing was out of place. So he thought to head back home. When he turned around and was about to go, he heard something banged behind him and people behind him started to scream. He was startled by the whole ordeal, so he turned around and saw the horror.
There was a long snake-like thing that was lying down in front of him. As soon as Tristo saw the body he became startled. At first, he thought it was a snake without its skin, but it seemed odd. So he took a step forward towards it to take a closer look while people were shouting at him not to get close. When he came close to it, he froze in his place, and a cold shiver ran down his spine. Because what he saw was truly horrifying. It was a human leg that was stretched to such huge lengths that anyone could mistake it for something else. If you only get close to it you can make out the human skin and the details of a normal human leg. Oddly enough there was no blood leaking from the leg. But there was no time for Tristo to think about it as he was very scared.
Huh....wh.. wha... what is this? A leg? How can this be...? At first, missing people then a time freeze, and now this! I feel like vomiting.... ugh!
As he was panicking inside, something fell onto his left shoulder.
*slppp**splash*
"hmm.... what is thi.....?!" "Ugwwwwwh.....Ugwwhh..!!"
What he saw on his shoulder made him finally vomit. It was a part of the human brain with some part of the skull still holding onto it. It stained his shirt with brain matter and blood. It was which was possible only in nightmares. But this was really happening and it was not over yet.
Soon red colored rain started to fall down. People were confused for a slight moment but soon screams began when someone in the crowd shouted: "it's blood! Blood is raining down!!". All hell broke loose. People started to run frantically, some tripped down in the chaos and some people fell onto them. It became a bloody mess. But it was not over yet.
Soon some huge things started falling from the sky. when people looked at them, everyone froze in place. No one moved even an inch as those things keep falling down. Why won't they freeze? After all, they were human body parts falling from the sky. Soon people came to their senses as some people fainted on the spot, and some started vomiting. People that day witnessed what is hell.
As this was happening Tristo came to his senses. He saw what is happening. His body was soaked in blood painting his body red. He vomit again and again until he had nothing to vomit. But still, he vomited. He tried to pull himself together but he couldn't. Then suddenly a police officer came to him and pulled him into a building. He was saying something but Tristo wasn't in the right mind to understand it. As he started to see everything blurry, he heard a voice. A voice unlike anything else he heard before. It was saying something. But he could not understand it.
