it was raining, heavy enough that my clothes would get drenched and soaked in water. i stood in slience, unable to speak out a word. i wasn't able to move my own body, even my hands. there was a vast space around me, below my feet was a rough, rocky surface and it was dark. there was only a small peak of light above me, with glowing fireflies. i looked down, and saw a dead body.
it was a male, his neck was slit and his left arm was deciptated. the blood mixed with the rainwater on the ground. his eyes were open and completely lifeless, just how a dead body would be. there were scars all over his body. it didn't take me a moment to realize who it was. the hair, facial feature; it was my twin. i was traumatized, i kept my eyes widened. my heart and soul kept screaming inside me, that it wished it didn't have to see it again.
there was a faint sound of heart beat in the background. it grew louder and louder every passing second. to one point, it became so loud that it rung my eardrums hard, i was able to move just my hands, as i shifted them to my ears and kept a firm grip on them, shutting every sound off. my breathing was getting a bit ragged, and i was sweating from fear. there was a thud, and everything went black. i feel like i had fallen or collapsed, and opened my eyes back.
I looked around, i was in my bed lying down. my phone was buzzing at my side. i dawned to realization, it was just a dream; or should i say a nightmare, a terrible one in that. i sat up and calmed myself down, maintaining my composure back and wiped my forehead. i checked the time in my phone and was flabbergasted. it was 8:55, and i had to start highschool today.
i rushed out of bed, and got ready with what time i had left. i stormed out of the house, locked the door and ran in the pathway. few minutes ahead and i reached the school. the gate was almost being closed by the security guard. i panicked and shouted, "wait please!". the security guard was startled, and opened the door just enough to let me through. i was relieved and stopped running, as i began catching my breath a bit. i faced up a bit, the pleasant breeze blowing through my hair, and sakura leaves were falling down, giving a spectacular and calming scene in front of the school, greenhill high. there were a few students entering the building still. i was relieved, and though to myself, "i wasn't too late then.." my eyepatch was a few inches from falling, and i tied it back and adjusted it, having a sense of hope that no one would question it.
i entered the building as well, and looked around. the atmosphere seemed lively, there were constant sounds of conversations and cackling from few groups of students. i honestly felt jealous, i wanted to have a friend group as well at the starting. there were also a few chatters about me, probably wondering that i'm new around. then a girl approached me, she had a vivid hue of dark violet at the tip of her hair, and had bangs on just one side. she seemed to be part of the student council of this school. she spoke up first, in a questioning tone, "hey, are you new?". i replied without second thought, "yeh, why do you ask?".
the girl replied back, "you forgot your tie." i stood there confused, and looked at my collar, i seemed to have forgotten my tie while rushing. i gave a sheepish expression and rubbed the back of my hair, responding back, "sorry, i was rushing thinking i was late for school." the girl didn't consider it, and checked my appearance. she noticed my eyepatch and questioned me again, "what's with that eyepatch you got?". speak of the devil, i should be prepared for such questions.
i stuttered a little, the most awkward thing to have in a conversation while replying to her question, "u-uh this? i-it's of personal matter-" she spoke up, which didn't let me finish my sentence. "i need to see what's under it," she responded, while reaching out to my eyepatch. i didn't know what to do since i was scared, and swatted her hand away in annoyance, "it's of personal matters, i'm sorry," i added, a hint of sternity in my tone.
then there came a disturbing aura from her, with all other students as they see the scene unfold. she responded back, "why? would people call you a monster?" the words had no bite, but they gave a certain chill to my spine. i wondered to myself, was i this weak? my hand which was raised up from swatting her hand started trembling, and i clenched my jaw to prevent that.
here, comes the most twisted part. i shouted at her, with words i actually never thought of saying, "i'll crush you, all!". i felt an immense force coming out of my words, some sort of power releasing out. the building started to crack, and i looked around confused. the school started to crumble, there were cries and shoutings all around me. i was confused and horrifed at the same time, my body gave out on me. the debris kept coming from all sides, some students were buried and some were severely injured, almost to the brink of death.
i stood there, with my body given up on me, traumatized. my weak mind can't take it anymore. i looked up and saw a few large pieces of debris falling over me, i hit my head and blacked out completely. i stayed unconscious for a while now, since i hit my head and might had a concussion. i was able to retrive my consciousness only a tiny bit, there was debris all around, but half on my body was covered by it. there were various polices and medical teams, some were carrying injured people and dead bodies. my head hurts, there was blood tricking down my head.
a few group of unrecognised people saw me in the debris and picked me up, i leaned unconsciously on their shoulder, as i tried to look at them. my vision was blurry, and the person i was leaning on tapped my head in a force which made me black out again.
