Voices, lights and sounds of water and yellings distantly resounded inside his head. He groaned touching his face and water again dripped down his face and then he heard a female voice "he is alive" and another voice, a man like he was shouting at the girl "get away from the stranger Selene"
"But…he moved" the female voice said again in his face and he heard the scrunching of dried leaves under a feet before the girl squealed and the person kicked him in his stomach "no pretending or we might as well kill you"
"No don't, he's a visitor and—"
"Maybe sent to kill you." He hissed "step back Selene or you will be going back" the male voice said and the girl sighed and looked like she finally shut her mouth and stepped back. The male voice came into his face with his hot breaths coming down on his face. His mouth on his ear "you are dead in a minute if you don't open your eyes. Your time starts now" with that he heard the sound of a sword unsheathing before the tip was placed on his neck.
He groggily blinked his eyes pretending like he's still weak but the tip of the sword lunged more into his neck, maybe drawing blood with the female gasp that came afterwards. He looked up at the man holding the sword and he lunged it more into his throat "who are you?"
"You are going to kill him ash!" The female voice yelled and his eyes followed it but before he could see her the male standing in his front pulled the sword away, stepping back "who are you?" He asked again "don't think that ste will stop me from killing you"
Zayn touched his neck and he felt liquid which was obviously his blood, his brain calculating everything that is happening and that has happened but it felt jumbled. His eyes went to the sky, it was day. He looked around him and he found himself in the midst of ruins, like a war went down here.
Destroyed homes, debris and weeds everywhere. This place was horrible and he went back to the people that surrounded him, the man still watching him like a hawk "you can say I'm not wanted here" he said groaning again as he tried to sit up. His body felt so heavy like he was hit by a truck, what happened?.
"Then how did you find yourself here?"
Zayn held his head trying to think and the traces of the events that went before he found himself there materialised into his brain one by one. His brows furrowed and he fell. Panic set in and he abruptly stood up, a new strength coming into him and he asked "where am I?"
The man looked at him like he's grown two heads before saying "and who are you?"
Zayn gritted his teeth in rage, his mom, the house, that sly wraith, the portal, everything. Where is this place? Is he still in solvamore? "Where is this place?!" Rage settled in and he rushed to the man holding him on his shirt "is this solvamore?" And the man chuckled, pushing him back where he stumbled. Anger and frustration clung to him before he rushed to the man but this time the man held the sword out at him "boy, this place is not solvamore or whatever you call it. This place is hell" he laughed and stepped back leaving the stupefied zayn standing.
Obscurely he heard the female voice talking like she was scolding the male but what was in guess was "hell" but there was no fire. He whipped his head around and saw them walking away "were they leaving him here?" A few of them stumbling like they were injured and the female looking back at him but he didn't seem to notice her face or take any variation in her.
"Where is this place?" He whispered after a few seconds knowing nothing would come out from standing and mulling over a non accessible information and place he ran after them slowly, careful for them not to notice him.
His eyes drifted around him and he knew a war went down here. Burnt Tanks and trucks were littered around, dead bodies, destroyed buildings and houses. He heard the man yell at someone before the female whipped out at her hand and a bright golden light flashed, strangling the enemy who held a gun in his hand in the aim of shooting someone amongst them. It choked him to death with him coughing out blood before he slumped to the ground.
His eyes widened, she looked fragile a bit right now, her face was serious and determined and she spoke not like the one he had heard on his sub-consciousness. She looked fierce right now but right at his face and in the awe of the others she returned back to her cheerful face and firm smile like she was sulking like a kid.
What was this place?
