Chereads / The Rift : Fallen / Chapter 2 - Nothing new

Chapter 2 - Nothing new

The next morning everything was booring again, school - home - school. I wondered when we could meet again but everyday seems to be going so slowly. One day in the middle of june a sudden load shedding happened at the same time an earthquake accured, we all panicked. It was only for a moment but the electricity haven't returned for hours. As we stayed outside of our house because of the earthquake our neighbour also positioned outside. We all stayed outside for some hours, as if we are camping in the Night. I kinda liked that, because the atmosphere changed from fear to liveliness . When the power came back we went to our home and the news was as shocking as it ever could be. Everybody thought it was maybe some kind of movie advertise or something but it was not. The news covered that the sudden power blokage and earthquake wasn't a coincident but was coused by some kind of rift appeared around the world. Those rift was so big and deep that it was pitched black inside. It was an international issue and the government decleared a lockdown in the border. Why? We dont know but somethings fishy. Also they decleared a common holiday for 2 days. Soon after my mom called my brother Sarun's house to confirm if they are okay and it turns out they are all okay as well as my younger cousin, Amidst all of this I couldn't get a chance to ask about Sarun. Since the night was so tiring we slept early. It all began from that day, I woke up and the immediate thing that came to my mind was to ask about master sarun. I called in Master's home and aunty picked. "Greeting aunt, is brother sarun home by chance?, can I talk to him?". Aunt suprisedly replied "Nair, are you asking for sara?, doubfounded I thought maybe she didnt hear me properly so I asked again "No, not sara but her big brother 'Sarun' maybe you are getting old aunt, hehe". "Not funny Nair, you know I am still as young as the first day you saw me, anyway I don't know what are you saying Nair, Sara is my only child, are you messing witg me,you naughty young lad?" Again I didn't know what was going on. Have I called the wrong number? No. Maybe they are playing a prank on me. To confirm that I called my younger brother's house and absurdly he also didnt recognised Master sarun. Its as if everyone's memory has been manipulated or removed. When I didnt know what to do,I remebered his saying "If you ever find yourself in a confusing situation, dont panick, keep your composure and think of every possibilities that may happen", I froze for a moment and tried to think as many situation and possibilities as possible. But I am not the smartest kid in the room. So ai couldn't come up with any logical conclusion. But one thing I definitely knew that other than me nobody seems to be having any memory of him, then the only one who could find him is me. I started brainstorming " If everybody forgets me then what would I do?" going nowhere with that brainsmorting I started looking for him. But little did I know, he was missing, he haven't went outside because no one recognises him but it all seems intentional. At that time I remebered "A person dies when theres no one to remember him " I unconsciously shouted "I dont want you dead, brother". But he wasn't dead because I still remember him, its as if this phrase was meant for him. At that time I committed to train my body and mind and by myself . But the world seems to be wanting something different, or should I say " Fate". Because that day every other news channel covered the news of strange creature poping out of the rift and causing rampage on the nearby lands. Thus many country has covered the boundery with their highest militery power.

"So thats why",

I realized the government didnt want the citizen to know about this thats why they didnt say first. But maybe its now out of their control . I couldn't believe my eyes of whats happening arround the world nor I could u derstand what happened to my brother and the people arround me. Its like we are watching a movie. But I knew that Everything's conncted to what happened to my brother and the only one that knows about it is me. "Even if the world is in chaos, you have to think rationally and find the loop hole "

In this crazy situation the only rational thinking I could think of is getting strong because I know thats what my brother would say (maybe). Thus I eatched the world being in uproar and eventually the creatures spread across the world and was in our border. What's gonna happen to us?
