Everything didn't go back to normal after the accident as zayn had thought it would. It became worse and worse. He zoned out on the road, in the streets, places that he had to start staying at home after school closure.
Same thing applies to the wraith, since the dream, he hasn't seen or heard anything from him. Every little noise makes him turn to check out what was behind it but it was never the wraith. He felt in his bones when he was being followed and was sure he wasn't followed this time.
Today he wanted to go to the library and check out books. The owners hadn't burned it yet so he still had time to check out some things however he was scared. Scared for one thing—the roads and him zoning out and fainting. It was like a switch when he stepped out of the house.
His mom had begged him to stay at home but they knew he can't be cooped up inside the house all day like a pregnant lady so he agreed only to ease her mind. He strides down their street to the main road and crosses over to the library.
He had to do this. He had to do this. He had to do this. He had to do this. He chanted to himself like a mantra but all that ended when he looked sideways stomping his foot and internally screaming for fear which he knew he never had for anything crept into his mind.
He breathed in, breathed out and crossed the road without zoning out which he confirmed when he reached the library and greeted the librarian before entering his special session. They knew him and the books he normally would go and search for or read.
He sat on his haunches tapping the bookshelf thinking, the books right here were strange, not his usual topics but another thing which he didn't want to even bring out and read out—transmigration.
He smudged his thumb up and down the spine. That thing was tricky. Having the chance to see beyond and live your fantasy. Travelling time and going back on time. He tapped it, tapped it and tapped it again before picking it.
He sat down on the floor, opening the book. His eyes scanned the words
Everyone has that fantasy where you relive in another world, another life, another time in a different time frame. A place where no one knows you or knows anyone. Getting that opportunity to see your imagination or diving into another life is as fascinating as strange. The beyond is always scary, always be wary of your thoughts and wishes. They may not be what we all think it to be. Everyone…
He kept on reading, his eyes following everything, letter and sentence not missing a thing. When he finished with the book, it was late and his phone was beeping. He saw the contact of his mom, he answered it, telling her he was on his way.
He tucked the book back on the shelf and left, his mind replaying what he had just read. What would he do if he was given such a chance, would he go? He asked himself. Leave his mother and everything and leave.
His thoughts were spiralling out of proportion and control. He knew where he was going but his eyes were lost thinking but able to see. He stood watching the cars, his brain shut down as a bright light shone. The same he saw in his dreams.
The light shone opening a portal, he searched around him checking if people saw the same things he was seeing but everyone was going their way. He knew what was beyond that petal but didn't know the result of the portal.
He stretched his hand to touch it and it went through but he withdrew it and stepped back however a voice spoke right inside his head. A voice he had been searching and trying to talk to for a time now urging him to check it out.
He tried blocking it out but couldn't, his spirit wanted that thing but he didn't want to follow suit. He closed his eyes and the first thing he saw was his father the day before he died.
"We all have a purpose in this world zayn, a purpose that we lay not like but must be fulfilled. Never forget your purpose" with that he pushed his hand into the portal and felt his body jerk.
His eyes widened for a minute knowing something happened, he turned and saw his body falling to the ground and he watched people surrounding him. He stepped into the portal and the light decreased following his body but he turned and saw his mother running towards his body before the portal jerked him inside.
