Chereads / Ratsujin The Son Of Devil / Chapter 31 - It's Morning Already

Chapter 31 - It's Morning Already

In the dead of night, Ratsujin stood in the middle of the alley. There was barely any light in the alley; the only light was from the moon and the stars.

"Where am I?" Ratsujin asked himself as he observed the dark alley. His face was confused and scared.

Ratsujin continued to ask himself, "How did I get here?"

"What is this place?"

"RRRAAAGGRRRRHHHH!!!!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed through the alley just as Ratsujin finished talking to himself. The roar was so strong that it caused Ratsujin to lose his balance, but he managed to stay on his feet.

The second after the roar ended, "AAAHHHHHH!!" Another voice pierced the air and echoed through the alley from the other side of the alley. Unlike the other voice, which was filled with anger, this one was filled with pain and suffering.

As soon as Ratsujin heard the scream, his eyes widened in shock. Ratsujin wasted not even a single second to rush towards the direction from which the scream came. It was like a swift reflex Ratsujin had. Not a single thought entered his mind about what could be in there. He wants to help that person who had screamed no matter what it caused him.

In just seconds, Ratsujin reached the end of the alley. In the end, he saw a big dumpster on the right side of the wall. There was nothing else except for the dumpster and some trash on the ground.

"What happened here? And what is this place?" Ratsujin asked himself as he was left confused by the dead end.

"Ratsujin....."

Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the alley and called out Ratsujin.

Ratsujin did not know anything that was going on. He was left speechless after hearing his name from an unknown voice.

The voice echoed again.

"Ratsujin..."

"Ratsujin.."

"Ratsujin."

The voice called out Ratsujin's name three more times, but each time. The voice called Ratsujin's name. It was getting heavier and angrier.

"RATSUJIN!!!"

"WAKEE UPP!!" The voice lost all of its patience and demanded Ratsujin to come back to his senses.

Suddenly, all the reality that Ratsujin was in faded away. Everything tore apart, and the ground cracked in two and swallowed Ratsujin in the flesh.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Ratsujin screamed as the ground threw him into an endless void.

****

Inside Ratsujin's room!

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

All of a sudden, Ratsujin sat on his bed from his slumber. He began to take heavy, panicked breaths as he just watched a nightmare.

Everything Ratsujin was watching and felt was nothing but a nightmare.

Ratsujin first calmed his terrified heart. He then looked at his hands and his bed. He also realized that he had a nightmare. "A dream..."

Ratsujin flinched his eyes and used his hands to rub his eyes at the same time. He also took a big yawn to break his sleepy mind.

After rubbing his eyes and taking his yawn, Ratsujin looked to his left. His bright red eyes were trying to see the person who caused him to wake up.

Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and landed on Ratsujin's right cheek while his face was still turned to the left side.

"A Nightmare?" Ratsujin heard the same voice that broke his nightmare.

The warmness of the hand and listening to the voice again made Ratsujin realize who is the person that is touching his right cheek.

Ratsujin slowly murmured as he looked straight, "Mom...."

It was Zara Ratsujin's Mother who broke Ratsujin's nightmare and is now reassuring Ratsujin with her gentle and warm touch.

Zara asked again, "Another nightmare?"

Ratsujin looked into his mother's silver eyes and responded with a slow nod.

Zara took a moment before speaking to Ratsujin. "Are you ok now?" Zara asked Ratsujin. Her voice was filled with concern for her son's well-being.

"YES!"

"A Dream Can't Do Anything To Me!"

 Ratsujin spoke with a big smile and a nod to his mother. He reassured his health to his Mom with a big smile filled with happiness.

After hearing Ratsujin's words, a smile curled up Zara's lips. She removed her hand from Ratsujin's cheek and brushed his brown hair as she spoke. "Get Ready!"

"Otherwise, You will be late for Vanguard Academy."

Ratsujin responded with a light, tired voice, "It's morning already?"
