Chapter 3 - Goodbyes

The next thing Mikeal remembers is when he jumped out of bed waking up all sweaty with his heart beating so fast it felt like he just woke up from a nightmare that's what it was to him, everything seemed normal and the same the console he was playing with was sitting next to him in a same position he left it in when he went to check what was in the fridge.

The game was paused exactly where he left it and it was one of those POVs games where the player was not seen physically but was the one who was shooting at the zombies, Mikeal had paused the game in a part where the zombie he was shooting was the final boss. But here's what felt like deja vu for him the zombie boss was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a tie that was blood red he couldn't make out his face because of all the bullets he was firing.

But he did see his sinister smile and red eyes making him feel uneasy like that zombie final was creeping behind him and bit him, Mikeal looked closely to the game for a moment he felt like he saw the boss moving and smiling even more sinister. He also felt like his head was tilted then felt someone bite him... Mikeal felt his nightmare like it came out with him and was about to be real he jumped out of his bed tried to turn off the TV but it was no good it was jammed.

He struggled for quite some time to turn it off he was shaking not sure what's real or a dream thou he couldn't see it Mikeal did feel like something or someone was creeping behind him, in a fast moment he didn't have a choice but to unplug the TV from its plug. Mikeal crawled back to catch a breather.

"What's happening to me? Did I really have a nightmare where I was bitten?" Mikeal trying to puzzle his nightmare into one piece.

Not sure what happened not even remembering if he ended up going to the grocery store or not, Mikeal goes to check what's in the fridge to his surprise it was stacked and full.

"When did I come back?" Mikeal so confused when he saw his fridge.

Nothing made sense to him he didn't even look at the time he assumed that maybe it was probably nighttime, when he got back home from the grocery store he just jumped into bed then just like that he was out like a light. But Mikeal couldn't be more wrong it was actually tomorrow the day he is supposed to leave for the special orps force.

Something tells Mikeal to look at the clock and he always listened to his gut after so many years surviving each and every single day he goes to school and back, it was the only thing that has kept him safe and alive all these years.

"I wonder what time is it" Mikeal talks himself into looking at the clock.

It was seven o' clock already "What? How in the? Did I sleep the whole day?" Mikeal couldn't believe himself.

Mikeal knew that if he went around asking himself questions and trying to piece together about what actually happened to him yesterday he was definitely going to waste so much time looking for answers he wouldn't find... He goes to take a shower for a tree house it was a miracle that he even had water.

Mikeal washes himself he's so dirty dirt is all over the floor it's understandable he got it from the fields, Mikeal washes his face everything appear to be normal he goes down to wash his neck while he was doing so. He kinda felt something on his neck it felt like sharp canine teeth marks that raises concerns for him.

He washed all his body so fast without even wiping himself up he stepped out of the shower, looked himself in a mirror checking what he felt the bite marks... Nothing was there Mikeal was normal.

Looking at the time and the pace he was going Mikeal forgot about whatever was going on with him, he just rushed to get his clothes and packed his bag for someone who didn't have any parents or guardian taking care of him he really had so many good clothes, the time was running out and Mikeal still had to pick out the clothes he was going to wear for this special occasion.

"I can't believe today is the day I'm really going to join the special orps force" Mikeal couldn't contain his excitement.

After going through a lot of clothes and throwing most of them all over the floor creating a pile of clothes, Mikeal finally made his decision on which clothes he was going to wear... Walking around naked not wearing a towel to cover himself not that he really needed it because he was all alone.

Mikeal remembered something "god I forgot to dry myself" he says to himself.

He runs to the bathroom to take a towel so he can dry himself to his surprise Mikeal was already all dried up, he didn't make much of it as far as he was concerned Mikeal knew that it's normal for people to dry up quickly if they let themselves.

Mikeal wore a big cargo khaki pants, his shoes were those new limited edition sneakers that would often be shown on TV they were white in colour with a touch of black. He also wore a really cool white t-shirt that had a print of claw marks then to complete his look he wore a warm black jacket that was written the name Park on it.

Mikeal was running out of time and it was important that he gets to school or he was going to be left behind and that was not part of his plan, Mikeal took his bag where he packed all his clothes stared at the pile of clothes he was going to leave behind... Shrugged then just left.

He was so over his head he didn't even take his elevator down that's what he called it Mikeal did the impossible something he'd never thought of doing before, even if he ever did he was going to hurt himself. Mikeal just jumped from the treehouse to the ground which was about fifteen feet.

"Wait a minute, did I just jump all the way down here?" He questions himself but shakes that thought off.

Knowing that now is the perfect exact time for the cannibals to roam around the region streets Mikeal took his field route, unnoticed.

He arrived to some place that looked liked a cemetery Mikeal went to one tombstone engraved with two names Nelly & Shawn Park Beloved Mother & Father. Those were his parents burial place.

Mikeal was carrying fresh flowers "Hi mom and dad I know you are probably mad at me right now for coming to see right when I'm heading to school, but I just stopped by to say goodbye I was actually accepted to the program. I'm finally going to avenge you and rid all of these monsters who destroyed our family... I won't see you for some time but please know that you are always in my heart. And please be with me" Mikeal's eyes were watering he just knelt down and put the flowers down after he kissed his hand and touched the tombstone.

He left and went straight to school while he was on his way walking to school Mikeal was able to see the buses from afar driving to school he was standing at a junkyard he often passes when he goes to school, and he could also see where his school was. It wouldn't be long before the buses reached the school that would be bad news for him because it would mean he's going to be left behind.

"I better hurry I know I won't make it in time but at least I gotta try" Mikeal gives himself inspiration "okay Mikeal you can do this" he tells himself.

Mikeal jumped over to the junkyard that was full of old scrappy cars he didn't have time to run around them to find a way to pass because that alone was going to drag time and he didn't have much of that.

So Mikeal did what he could come up with at that time jumping over the cars it was impossible but for some freakish reason Mikeal did exactly that he jumped all the cars at once.

Not realising what he had just done he didn't waste anytime he just ran for it.

Miraculously Mikeal walked into the school corridor in a matter of minutes he sees those he was going with talking to their friends and teachers.

"Did you just run all the way here?" Lyra asked.

"Yep" All the attention was on Mikeal who just stormed in the school like a maniac.

"But yet you are not sweating or showing any signs of tiredness" Lyra shocked, Lyra was the gothic girl.

"Ask me questions later but have you seen Jeff anyway I just wanted to say goodbye" Mikeal closed the school doors.
