Chereads / Levels to Zero / Chapter 4 - Chapter 1

Chapter 4 - Chapter 1

I swear I died…

Crazy assumption huh?

But I swear I did,

I remember opening the front door of my new apartment and the last thing I heard were gun shots, followed by an indescribable pain. The last thing I saw had to be a pair of dark military shoes and my blood rounding the edges.

But as I feel the sun against my face I can't help but scrunch my face in annoyance, damnit was the after life this damn bright.

With a groan of annoyance I pop my eyes open, taking the scenery before me.

I stumble out of bed in shock eyes wide in disbelief.

I had to be going crazy, I was back home, in the same dress, no blood stains and no gun wounds.

My house was spotless,

I could feel my anxiety multiply as i rush into my bathroom and stare at myself in the mirror.

I didn't look pale, I looked fine, hell I looked like I was glowing.

In the name of the gods what was going on?

Taking a deep breath I close my eyes and count to five, praying that everything before this was just a dream and this was reality.

I was hoping to god that everything before this was a terrible hyper realistic dream, but as I pop my eyes back open after uttering the number five, I realize it wasn't

Something was definitely wrong here, with me, I could feel it. The walls looked familiar but they weren't at the same time.

This was so fucked.

And then I heard it, a very rapid knocking sound by my room window.

Picking up the nearest weapon close to me… which happened to be a plunger, gods this was pathetic

I slowly creep back into my room.

Looking down through my window I sight a girl who looks no younger than me hanging by the railing

Letting go of the plunger I pop the window open, watching the strange looking girl climb into my room and praying to god that I did no just sign up to get my ass killed again.

In one swift move she heaves herself into my room, a scared expression on her face.

"We have to leave " she states looking around my room before rushing to lock my room door.

Lords, I had let a mad one into my home.

Looking at her I take in her elf like features, and then it clicks.

She was a level…

Oh my gods I let a level into my house, picking up my defense weapon… still a plunger, I grip it tight in fear, glaring in her direction.

How the hell did she even get into this part of town?

"Didn't you hear me?" She questions looking at me like I just lost my mind, like I was the one attempting to kidnap someone from their home.

"Who the fuck are you?" I question glaring harder at her.

She looks towards the locked door, panic on her face.

"It doesn't matter, we have to leave before they get here." She says pulling a reluctant me to the window.

"Before who gets here?" I question putting a lot of weight on my spot to stop her from pulling me.

She raises her head to reply before we hear a very over familiar knock on my front door.

"They are here… we have to go now!" an urgent tone entering her voice as she tries to pull me towards the window.

"Wait ,wait, wait… who is here?" I question looking at her now panicking expression.

"You know who is here." She replies a dark look in her eyes as she looks at me.

And as if on instinct the knock sounds again and a sense of dread washes over me. Goosebumps scattered all over my skin.

I could feel my heart racing in anticipation of what was to come and all of sudden that feeling of being in this same scenario washes over me.

What had I done to put myself in this mess.

"They are real?"

"Yes and they are after you, I cannot save you if you die in here one more time." She replies

Die?

Die one more time?

What does she mean die here one more time? THE.FUCK!!

"After me?, why are they after me?"

"Do you not know what you are?" She questions the same time the sound of what has to be my front door getting knocked down echoes through the house, shaking the walls.

Without another second to waste she pulls me through the window as carefully as she could.

I honestly don't even know what's happening but even I knew it was a stupid move to follow a mild robber who came in through my window, but as I shimmy out of the window with her, I realize she might have all the answers I need.

"Who am I?"

"This is not the time"

"Why are they after me?"

"We don't know yet, but they want you dead"

"Who are these people?, who are you?, how can I trust you?"

"They are bad people and you can trust me because I'm the only person that can get you out of here" she replies looking down at the city below us.

How on earth did she get up here?

"How are we gonna get out of here?"

"I don't know yet…. I-… I'm thinking give me a minute " she replies her eyes looking all over the place frantically .

I look back at my bedroom and see a small movement in the doorknob.

"I uh… I don't think we have a minute ." I reply watching as the door knob goes from being gently jiggled to being frantically yanked on.

"What are we going to do?" I question looking back at her and watching her expression change to an apologetic one.

"I am so sorry " she whispers before pushing me off the building.

Welll shit
