Dream Catcher

Chapter 17

-With this chapter, I will tell the final moments of Matt and what he went through afterwards-

-Matt's POV-

Kayla and Jaime are asleep, and I don't want to wake them up with what I have to do. I told the others that we should wait for the right moment to strike The Clique and I know what would be the right moment to strike, but it won't end well. I'll go back to my house, and wait for Kenny and the others to show up. It sounds like suicide and it is, but I will do what I can to protect my friends. Around 7 o'clock, the girls are usually up around this time. I guess they have no idea where I am and they might send out a search party to find me. I took a nap for about 30 minutes, and I guess I was knocked out a little longer than I expected......because when I woke up, I saw Kenny and James standing there with baseball bats or what looks like baseball bats. I stood out of my chair, and I had two guns hooked to the back of my pants. They were ready to fight from the get go, and I could tell they were gonna charge head on. What surprised me the most is that James ran back to the front of the gate, and Kenny darted right for me.....he grabbed the bat and it seemed that he pulled it apart. What was underneath the bat? A fucking sword......is this how they do things now and days? Whatever the point was for the sword-bat, I dodged the swing attempt and pulled out one of my guns. I aimed for Kenny's left leg and I grazzed his spine with one of the bullets. James came running in after I shot Kenny and I shot James in his knees. I walked toward James and grabbed him by his hair. Right when I got him up to his feet.....I felt a sword pierce through my chest. I looked behind me and I saw Kenny with a raged look in his eyes. Nothing will ever erase the smile I saw on his face......it looked someone carved a smile into his cheeks. After that blade pierced me, I blacked out from the blood loss. I woke up in a place that was emptier than any room I have ever seen in my life. I walked around the area for a few minutes, and I saw a window that I didn't realize was actually there. I had a look of confusion at first, then I thought to myself, "Since when has there been a world like this and since when has there been a window that doesn't seem to be in place with everything?" I answered my own question, when I walked over to the window and watched the rest of the events that happened to me after I "died". Kenny and James literally cut me like sushi and they kept laughing the whole time. I watched them move everything from my body to some bucket of sorts and they moved the bucket to the back of a truck I have never seen before. Out of nowhere, the window had disappeared and I started to freak out. Just as I was freaking out, I heard Ash screaming out in pain and my attention was immediately directed to the sound of her voice. Just as I follow the sound of her voice, there was a giant hole in this unknown world and saw her being crushed by something that was reshaping her body to fit some transformation that could help her beat The Clique. I don't know what that thing was, or what it wanted with Ash....but I felt that thing standing behind me. I turned around and it started to turn into a human....only thing about it is that this thing looked exactly like me in every detail. It followed my every movement, and my thoughts were running everywhere at this point. It opened it's mouth and said, "I don't normally help people, but I will when it is someone I care about. As you can see, I am you....." After it said that, it disappeared just like that. I stood there thinking to myself, "What the fuck was that all about?" Then it hit me......if he is me, then why did he save Ash? Because he cares about her....and then it turned into a moment of accepting the fact that I do care about Ash. I don't know about her, but I have denied that feeling......and everytime I did, it kept coming back to bite me in the ass. Not much can be said as to what is going on in this world, but I will figure it out and I will begin to use it to my advantage.
