Pov: Red
I am not able to see anything, I do not feel anything but the heat leaving my body at the same time that I am able to feel how my blood leaves my body, it was not a good feeling at all
I heard screams of people in the distance and the only thing I could think about was if my family would be okay
I realized that Little by little I was losing my senses since after a while I stopped listening to people, I was intrigued as to whether they had moved away or if I no longer heard anything
Either way, I was wondering if this was how I was going to die.
|a few moments before|
That day my mother ordered me to buy so I could cook dinner, so I went out and went to one if there was a butcher shop open, since it was 9 in the morning and that's why they used to open sometimes at 11 in the morning and others at 7
That day I was wearing a black jacket with a hood, I had black pants and also some gray tennis shoes, I really like black a lot, and I know that people usually like it because they think it makes them look bad or something thing of that style and at least I just like black
Anyway, my name is Red, yes Red, you know my parents don't have much 'imagination', in fact that's why my grandparents didn't allow them to name my brother and with good reason
At least they never made fun of my name, although it could be that people just don't care, since I've had several classmates with strange names,
In any case, who the hell am I talking to? I will arrive faster
As I was walking towards the park I was wondering what I was going to have for breakfast tomorrow, somehow I got to the park and I saw a bench and the first thing I thought was "you know I'm a little tired from walking so I don't think it's okay if I sit and rest, right?"
Not even five minutes had passed since I had sat down and my phone began to ring, and when I checked it I saw that it was a call from my mother and as soon as I received the call I got up quickly and started walking while answering the call and the truth I was wondering why my mother had called
"Son, where are you, it took you too long and I'm starting to worry and your father asks me not to bother you, but I can't with worry" said my mother
" Wow wait a little mom, usually you worry too much about everything, but I hear you a little more worried than usual" not to say TOO MUCH
"What happens is that a colleague from work told me that her husband had heard that strange things were happening these days, since the electricity suddenly goes out or the calls are not received and also."
"Wait a little quiet mom and don't get upset I'm on my way don't worry"
"Let me finish, because of what I told you I have decided that tomorrow we will leave the city since I am worried about your grandparents so we are going to visit them"
Ok, I think mom's paranoia has grown again "in any case, I'll see you there."
"ok son please be careful" and so my mother hung up
Well I better hurry if I don't want my mother to worry more
While I was walking through the park, I noticed that the people in the surroundings were leaving quickly and I really did not understand what was happening, so as soon as I left the park, I asked an old man who was loading his things into his truck and the old man answered me.
"Don't you know boy? Apparently he has given a warning to people to go to the shelters near the metro station."
"And why do they want us to do that?"
"Apparently the authorities have said that it is to avoid tragedies" said the old man and as he left I said goodbye to him and thanked him
Shortly after that I reached the bridge and I could see a large number of people on the bridge and suddenly I heard crying, as soon as I heard it I turned to my right and saw a boy no more than 6 years old who was screaming for his mother
The truth is that I couldn't stand it and I approached him and asked him what was wrong, he told me that his mother let him go while people passed very close to others who couldn't find her.
So I helped him looking for his mother and not long after we found her, or rather the mother returned for her son, as for the child I say "thank you sir", sir, I'm barely 16, while the mother and the child They were leaving. I went to the side of the bridge simply because I wanted to see how high up it was.
and seeing the truth below I was surprised and also wondering who was the idiot who thought it would be a "good" idea to build a fucking bridge in such a high place, but I'm also amazed that the bridge has lasted so long
then I just lay on my back to rest a bit and while I was resting, the horizon suddenly lights up and I jumped in fright, after it lit up on the horizon you could see how a black mushroom rose quickly, wait for a BLACK MUSHROOM, it's a fucking nuclear explosion
while the mushroom suddenly grew the shock wave of the explosion was rapidly approaching and seeing this people quickly take cover where they can, while I look for a place to cover myself the sling comes and pushes me off the bridge and I try to grab something, but it was in vain as i started to fall
and as i fall i hear a woman scream and then pain
|in the present|
I guess that's a weird way to die since I didn't die from an explosion and I didn't fall off the bridge but got pushed by the fucking expansive slingshot
As I mentally sighed, I notice that all my senses have gone and now only my mind is working.
If this is how I'm going to die, the only thing I regret is leaving my parents worried and leaving my brother alone
While I was lamenting, slowly my senses returned one by one first it was my hearing as I began to hear voices that I think were doctors and nurses then my sense of smell returned and I perceived an aroma of medicine and that confirmed that I was in a hospital
Suddenly a light blinded me and then I noticed as if they were charging me? When my sight came back I saw a doctor holding me and looking at me and then I said "it's a boy"
... what is this guy referring to, suddenly the doctor handed me someone else and when that person turned to me I was surprised by the person I saw, after all it was my mother
In case you're wondering, my mother is a woman with wavy black hair and neither very light nor very dark skin, I don't really know what that skin color is called, but what surprised me the most was the fact that my mother looked more…. young?
Suddenly he speaks and asks the person next to him, that I see now is my father, but he was also younger
My father was a medium tall man with equally black hair with some red streaks, he is not muscular, he is rather normal
In any case, my mother asks my father what my name would be, as soon as my mother mentions that I began to worry because if that was what she thought, hell just thinking about it I couldn't contain the desire to cry, as for my father suddenly I say "his name will be Red, since he has locks of red hair like me"
Ray! And I start to cry harder as the doctor and nurse just look at my mom weird
|a while later|
I don't know how this thing about babies works, but it seems they left me at the hospital to check if I was okay.
Ok, now comes the million dollar question, what the hell happened, do I say it seems that I'm in the past? Look, I won't deny that I'm a bit of a geek, otaku, whatever you want to call it, but I hadn't heard of this, or well, not this one. way
Hell now what do I do, hmm, don't people who go back to the past use their knowledge of the future to improve their lives?
I'll become a millionaire in the future, you'll see!
|7 years later|
Okay, remember when I said I'd get rich?
Well, it will not be possible, because they say, to begin with, after a few years of my second life (3 years) I noticed that everything was not exactly the same
They would say that this does not affect too much, right? As long as it is similar, it will be fine, right? Well that's the problem in this place there is, listen well, magic! fucking magic, as I know, well, you don't see your mother create fire with her hand to cook, right?
Well my father also told me and the truth is I asked my parents to teach me how to do that and the truth is the most I can do is light a flame the size of a candle
That's already something, anyway, this day I was playing with my two friends, the twins, Oscar and David, two orphan boys who live in the orphanage, it seems that my house is close to one and we get together to play every once in a while weather,
The truth is that they are good people, considering the situation in which the children of the orphanage live, since they told me that they almost never have new clothes and although the caregivers are good with them and give them food and bed, the vast majority of people do not they don't like the ones from the orphanage at all
since according to them orphaned children attract problems with slavers, if slavers, apparently this is a world that is a mix of current affairs with touches of medieval fantasy
Anyway, the twins were friends with a lady from the clothing store and I heard from my mother that this lady wanted to adopt the twins so that's fine, right now I was saying goodbye to the twins
|on the roofs of houses|
pov mystery man
They commissioned us to kidnap some orphan from the slums, since a madman needed them as test subjects, so the boss sent me and my stupid partner who wouldn't stop talking
"Hey, why do you think they want an orphan?" said the idiot
"Well, why do you think you're stupid, because an orphan doesn't matter to anyone"
"Oh I got it" he replied.
I really don't like dealing with him for too long, it's not that he doesn't know how to do his job, it's just that he never stops with his stupid questions.
Anyway, me and the idiot were looking for a guy who was alone, and we found him, or rather my partner found him
"hey look there a child alone, is it useful for us?"
I looked where he was pointing and I saw a boy about 7 years old with black hair and red streaks near the orphanage the boy was wearing clothes that were too new to be from the orphanage, but it's not like it didn't happen
"That one works for us, put it to sleep and I'll put it in the bag"
The idiot used a spell to put the child to sleep and we quickly put him in the bag I must say that I like the idiot for that spell alone, anyway, we have to go quickly
