After I finished answering the questions I noticed I was in my old house it was the place we used to live when I was young. Seeing the house was the same as the before I thought there was a chance my sister might be around so I went I check Ed the entire but yielded no results
I suppose you can't just hope for a dream to go your way or make you happy
" I wonder what I'm supposed to do in here let's see I'll just go outside for walk maybe I'll run into someone " as I was about to get out the house I passed a mirror and to my surprise my appearance had changed I looked like I did when I was eleven and was just as short
When I was eleven I dyed my hair to gray and i used red color eye contacts and I loved wearing all black outfits, sometimes I'd wear a white shirt. That was what my appearance had changed to and on that day I was wearing a big black hoody with kanji writing which meant heart and a gray short while putting on black shoes so I thought that maybe it's a dream about when I was eleven
" Weird but I think it's interesting" i got out the house and outside I found two of my friends school waiting for me one was Rika, she had big purple eyes a small nose, small lips and her was silky black she was wearing a cute white dress with white slippers
And the other person was Max he was also a good friend of mine, for a boy his age he looked really handsome because he had white hair, sky blue eyes, a small nose, small lips and on that day he was wearing a big gray hoody with kanji writing which said heartless on the back, a black short and was wearing gray shoes
Max and Rika were good friends of mine from school and they always came to wait for me whenever we were going somewhere because we were always together " Yo man what took you so long I was starting to get bored " Max said in a cheerful tone
" Relax I lost track of time and overslept because Hibiki isn't around ". Hibiki was my house maid and she was the one who always took care of me in place of my parents she like a mother to me but she always treated me like a client. I never knew my parents, so she was all I had to fill the role of my parents
Hibiki had always told me that my parents worked oversea so that they could give me a life that they never had so I always believed her. I tried to get in contact a lot times but all my efforts were in vain because all I knew about them was the name Akihiro it was the only connection I had to them. When I was young I was emotionless and cold so I never questioned many things
" Yeah yeah quit your whining and let's go you know better than anyone that staying in one place for long time will drag attention to us " Max said with a smile as he put his hands in the front pocket of his hoody
We normally didn't stay at a place for too because the way we looked attracted all kinds of trouble " top of morning Rick, did you sleep well " Rika said in an elegant manner and her voice was adorable it was even better than I remembered
" Top of the morning miss class president, well I slept elegantly and what about you good madam? " I asked as we started walking " I had a splendid evening thank you for asking my dear " after Rika responded we all started laughing because talking formal felt silly to us
After the laughing I said " Alright we all agreed that we would find the place today so let's head to the park "
There was a place which was famous among children our age because one girl in our class always told interesting stories about that place she didn't specify the name and had always called it that the place so we had agreed that we would be the first to find it so we would proved whether it is real or not
" Yeah the park is always a good place to start looking for clues " Max said as we were passing a lot of people then a after few minutes of walking and talking two highschool girls approached us and one said
" Hi little boys where are are you going mind having a little chat with us " she said cheerfully with a smile " where we are going is none of your business " Max said in serious tone and girls stepped back out of fear because the look in his eyes was scary
It's just I as remembered, these girls must had thought we were some celebrity's children and tried to get friendly with us, I remember these days being really annoying it's days like this one which led to me becoming a shut in
The girls failed to respond to Max's reaction, Rika was standing behind me and I was just glaring at them " we don't have time to waste on old ladies like you. we'll be on our way so just get lost " they were offended by Max calling them old but were still too scared to say anything so as we walked passed they said to what each other
" What a rude little brat " one of them said and then the other said " you said it, he even dared to call us old, I mean we are highschool students " they both looked at us as we were walking and they said in unison " but they're so cute "
Everything was going as i remembered so I didn't know if I had to alter the future or something would happen differently so decided to play along because I knew that at the end of the day I'd get to see my sister even if it was in a dream
I remember correctly today nothing out the ordinary will happen it will be a peaceful and unproductive today which we spent having fun at the park just like it was
After we reached Nase park we played for a while then we decided relax and talk so we went and sat down the swings, Max sat on the other swing and Rika was standing in front me. We were about to start talking and I was looking at Rika when my vision started to get blurry
Rika looked like she was trying to tell me something but I couldn't hear a single word and my vision started getting dark until I couldn't see anything because I had passed out
What's going on here, I don't remember anything like this happening. Is this part of the event?
I slowly opened my eyes only to see Max and Rika on the ground,they were bleeding out it looked like they were stabbed which left me shocked
Seeing that made it like seems like time stopped and when it only appeared for a few seconds, to me it felt like an eternity
I was back at the swing but the shocked affected me more than I thought perhaps it was because I was in the body of my past self " Guys are you alright " I said in a low sad voice it was almost like a whisper
" Geez Rick, what made you black out like are you alright " Max said, Rika had heard what I said and she only looked at me but Max didn't hear a thing
I paused before answering then after I had calm down I said " I'm alright..... I think, how long was I out? ". They started explaining what happened
" Well we just talking but you weren't responding you looked like you stuck in some sort of trance, we got worried and tried to shake you out of it " Rika said then Max continued explaining " the moment I grabbed your shoulder I felt weird. Well I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, what's important is that you alright isn't that right " Max was thinking about the weird feeling from earlier
The feeling got after I touched Rick, it was unreal it was like he was enveloped in ice it felt cold but what was even more weird was that his presence completely disappeared yet I could see him this is completed I'll have to wait before I talk about it
" Yeah you are right " I said because I didn't want them to worry about me any further " let's get going I think I found a path leading to where we can find the place we are looking " Rika said as she pointed towards the trees on there side of the park and I thought she looked cool just like I remembered her
We started walking towards the trees, " are you sure about this Rika I mean what makes you think that's a bunch of trees can lead us to find it " Max asked and I then added by saying " I agree with Max I mean the trees are not hidden I'm sure anyone who goes wondering around might find place by accident which wouldn't be a secret "
They were a lot of trees close together that a couple of small buildings would be hided inside but it was not big enough to be called a forest " I see you are guys are trying to become morons so you have forgotten how to think let me explain " Rika smirked as she started explaining herself
" According to my research and some connections I learnt that little Miss story teller often visits this park and it is the only place I could think of which is close by and provides a good deal of privacy so I choose this place to be our playing field for day in hopes of meeting our little friend "
After hearing what Rika said she made us even more curious and when we were talking we had always referred the classmate who told us about the place as little Miss story teller, Rika continued explaining
" And it looks like luck is our side today as we were talking on the swings I happened to catch a glimpse of someone acting suspicious, the person looked out place like a chess piece on a draft board so i paid attention and it didn't take me long to identify her to our little story little..... The moment she went behind those trees vanished and she has been gone for a while now which confirms many things so let's go check it out " Rika said with a smile of satisfaction on her face
Max and I couldn't help but be impressed even though I had the memories of a grown teenager I felt nice seeing someone so young be that creative " that's impressive Rika now let's go check how good you are at playing your game " Max said as I nodded in agreement and we arrived in front of the trees
We entered started walking the time was 4PM and the trees provided enough shade which made the place dark and I had realized something important, things had started going differently than what I remembered
I have a bad feeling I wonder why I feel like this despite this being just a dream but things are going very differently. Wait did my odd behavior earlier lead to this because I don't remember us going in this weird forest place
" Hey Rika out of curiosity how specifically did you find out about the story teller coming this place " I asked then she said "that's not important but if you are curious. I had some people follow her but "
Before she finished speaking Max cut her short and then he said " that's cool and all, so does that mean you know where the place " Rika stopped walking and her expression changed to a serious one
" No unfortunately I don't, all of them always said that after reaching the park she disappeared without a trace it was like she knew she was being followed " Rika said but she looked a bit down so I wondered if something else but decide not to ask
What's with bad feeling I have, I mean it's just dream it not like it's important in any way I just need to see it through. I hope this feeling disappears because it's starting to overwhelm me
Didn't take long after I finished my thoughts when a voice I didn't want to hear but was nice hearing from because it had been awhile said something shocking that it would leave anyone speechless if they were in my situation
" Who said it was just a dream " Aimi said and those simple words carried a lot meaning and raised a lot of questions which were filling up in my head
