Chapter 14: Into The Mindscape

^No ones PoV^

It had just struck midnight. But you couldn't really tell in this strange place. In reality there was no real time in this place, no day, night, dawn or dusk just darkness and endless void. But this didn't affect the ones that go here almost every night.

Your probably wondering who in the land of paradise would come in a place like this almost every night? Well if you haven't guest this place is the mindscape.

In this place that not many really know, some shape is supposed to be resting. Instead hes doing almost the exact opposite. He was placing back and forth kinda restless even with his tired eyes.

After a couple of minutes of pacing he waved his hand in the air and multiple file like papers appeared. He clicked on one of them like on a app on a phone and about a hundred videos appeared. But they weren't videos there actually memories and only a small proportion of them too.

Ever since the first time hes gone into the mindscape he'd had access to the majority of theses memories. Even the ones that his pure counterpart barely could remember he had access to. Though there were many that were locked far out of his grasp. He was able to unlock a few over time but there was always that one set of memories that no matter what he did he couldn't unlock them. To him it felt like a puzzle game and he was just missing one last piece to get to the next level.

Many would think its terrible to go through someone's memories even if it's your pure half's. But Cubic didn't think this way. Looking at them actually helped him distract himself from the many thoughts that he usually have going through his head. He often has a set amount of memories that he like to watch and sometimes he'll just chose a random one he haven't seen yet.

Though he enjoyed going through Cubes memories like the terrible shape he is, he hated looking at his. To him most of them were of him do some kind of bad deed that he wish he could take back. The other like 25 30% though were filled of good times, pranks and music he just didn't like looking at them they way he liked looking at Cube's.

He already knew which memory he wanted to watch that night so he swiped his hand in the air till it went to the one he wanted. He then clicked on it and it began playing the memory.

*' Tree of Life Island '*
^Cube's PoV^

I would climb out of the lake dripping wet and breathing heavily. I'd then quickly get and check if the three shapes that were chasing me were still behind me. Luckily they stayed on the other island probably because they can't swim well.

I kept my arms close to my chest as I walked to the Tree of Life. I would always go here get away from the harsh world that the shapes here call paradise. Especially this day every year. May 1st or more personal to me my birthday.

Looking at it from the outside today would seem like a great day to have a birthday. It's the middle of spring, the weather is really nice and it seemed to be a perfect day spend time with friends. But not for me...

Even though it was the one of the most beautiful spring mornings in the year it's not like life is gonna let me enjoy it. First I got yelled at by my foster parents for no reason like always. After that Rob, Daniel and Joe the town bullies thought it was the best day to torture me, picking and kicking me like how they always do. And add to that my fight or flight mode wanted to go off and my arm turned into a game claw which made the bullying much worse. So it ended up with me running all the way to the lake, swimming like there was no tomorrow and ending were I am now.
