THIS CHAPTER CONTINUES WITH EVGENI'S POV:
I looked at Zlatan, responding to him jokingly.
"C'mon dude, I know you love literature and all but this is too much. You trynna be poetic or what?"
Dennis giggled while Zlatan sighed in annoyance.
"You should try to look at life a bit more poetically and you might understand more about it for once." He said, trying to act wise.
Both me and Dennis, as stupid children didn't understand it. While talking we slowly made it out of the mall. Away from the beautiful colors and nice music, we were again in this dark world.
While walking down the street, Zlatan noticed something in an alleyway and ran straight into it without saying a word. We ran after him, trying to find out what he saw but both of us got hit in the back.
We fell to the ground, helpless, and saw that we were surrounded. There was a fake body on the ground where Zlatan was. Men, around the age of 20 to 30 had surrounded him. They all lunged at him and he managed to avoid them, by dashing to the side.
However, he bumped into another one of the men who grabbed him in a tight choke. It was like he fought against a monster and couldn't escape. I can't remember anything else. I got hit by a hard object and fell into a deep slumber.
I woke up and looked around. Dennis was crying while Zlatan remained quiet, looking irritated. It happened once again. We were victims to the stronger in society. It was something we all knew but didn't want to admit.
Our lives went on. Zlatan got a beating, Dennis went off the hook from his parents and I got scolded and grounded. Zlatan tried to blame himself on multiple occasions. It was heavy 1 year until it just got worse...
[LOCATION: BULGARIA, VARNA'S STREETS]
[DATE: 19.12.2014]
[TIME: 07:01 PM]
Zlatan, Dennis, and I were hanging out when an earthquake occurred. Holes appeared in the ground, buildings collapsed, and children cried. We were on a beach. Yet our location couldn't protect us from Mother Nature's wrath.
A massive wave hit us, but Zlatan saved Dennis and me. I remember the face he had. It was deadly serious.
When I woke up in the hospital a few days ago, I had a black key that was emitting black mist in my pocket. I managed well to hide it, but it was like...the key chose exactly me from all the people.
Once we got out of the hospital and met again, I showed my friends the mysterious item. Dennis, who already found the information started explaining to us about the keys. But there was no information about a black key.
"How about we open it tomorrow night." I suggested, excited on how we can change our lives.
Both of them agreed and we went back to normal life. The school was tough. Having to remain quiet around the rubbish in our world. I want all of them to die. Rot, bleed, burn, suffer...I WANT THEM TO DIE!
Just because they're bigger in size or have more money they feel like deities. However, they're nothing else but trash. That is why the weak like me can't do anything. The trash is somehow stronger than a poor growing organism.
It is the same in nature. A stronger and bigger predator can kill its prey easily unless it runs away. Like usual I remained low, waiting for the night to arrive.
We all met at the location we said we would. Behind rocks on the beach was the perfect spot. No cameras nearby and the wind was mainly blocked by the massive shapes created in history.
"It won't explode, right?" Asked Dennis and I giggled.
"I don't think so, let's just see what is going to happen," I responded.
Both Zlatan and Dennis nodded as I took it out of my pocket. The key was still emitting that small black mist. But it was feeling like it was calling me. Like It wanted exactly ME to touch it. Me and only me...
Zlatan prepared a gun that he had stolen from his father and Dennis took out a kitchen knife. I pushed the key into the air, piercing reality itself and feeling how it got ripped apart. Then the door opened itself.
The air produced by its opening sent all of us flying backward on the beach and then purple chains flew out of the door, taking me in. Before I was dragged inside I could hear Dennis and Zlatan screaming my name.
There I was. I was inside of a weird void-like space. There were flying pieces of ground around but something really caught my eye. On a massive piece of ground, there was a small building.
I pushed myself through the space, slowly floating and landing on the land. As I walked towards the building, I pushed the old wooden door open. Inside there was a white shining sphere.
"You finally got to me. I was waiting, mister Evgeni." It said.
"Mister Evgeni?" I asked, confused about what was going on.
It started explaining.
"I was trying to find you. You are the perfect candidate to become my host. Before you ask any questions, let me answer them. You can call me |IT| and I am a being that exists in a world that you cannot reach YET. If you accept me being a part of you I will give you tasks that you shall complete for certain "rewards". I will turn you into a god that can change the world however he wishes."
I was shocked but needed to ask one more thing.
"And if I decline?"
"You will be stuck here forever with no second chance to accept my offer. If you turn at left you'll see all my failed hosts." It replied.
I looked to my left, now noticing the mountain of corpses there. From a human child to a baby elephant. There was so much of them. I took a deep breath in and then looked at the orb.
"I accept" I said.
