I AM THE SECOND MALE LEAD.

CHAPTER 26:AWAKE FROM SLUMBER.

*Drip*

Everything happened so fast that I couldn't even react to it.
A car was speeding behind me. I tried to avoid being ambushed but at the crucial moment I discovered a bizzare realisation. Then I heard a loud crash.

The next thing that came over me was darkness.

The first thing that hit me heavy was a numbing feeling as if my body was floating on the ocean surface.
As if I immediately sank to the bottom, accompanied by the feeling of suffocation, my body was was terrorized by pain.

Extreme pain.

I couldn't move. Nor did I try to yet every inch of my skin, my body felt as if it was about to rip apart.

I think my neck is broken.

I couldn't move. All I could do was stay still as a curtain of red fell over my eyes.
I blinked them so as to keep away the red blood from closing my eyes. My ear was soaked with blood as well.

"It hurts...." I hissed in silence, wishing if I could live through this.

This was without a question. I didn't want to die. Not like this.

Ahhh.......

The blood was soaking my eyes wet with its liquid. Even if this didn't happen, I was barely keeping my eyes open.

I blinked.

Maybe once or twice.

Through my red vision I saw a tall, handsome man walking towards where I was.
I knew he was the one who had trashed over me.

My soul trembled terribly. 

Even though the face wasn't clear I could make out who he was.

I blinked again.

He was coming closer.

That psycho....I never thought he would go this far.

Is this how I am going to die? Ah....what about bunny?

"Haa......"

He was coming closer. Now, I saw the monster in him grow stronger.

Then I heard something. That sound was rather loud and familiar.

My red vision was starting to become blurry.
Even blinking was getting painful.

Maybe, I blinked for one last time.

THUWECK!!

CRASH!!

The monster was blown away from where he stood.

Ah.....

As my consciousness started to fade away the pain became more distant.
I could mo longer keep the darkness at its abyss.

The world went dark on me.

All that was left was an eternal slumber.

“.......”

“Hey.”

“Wake up.”

What is this?

“Hey wake up.”

I maybe mistaken.

“After all the trouble I went through to bring you here. You have to wake up for yourself, Zeke.”

I thought I had died for sure. Both my body and my soul.

A tall man stood in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked. "Are you the one who tampered with my car?" This was the most important question for me right now. The sudden realisation I had before the crash was that I couldn't control the car I was driving.

"Yes. It was me. I had to do so to bring you here. The demon who gave you your second chance had to interfere with a life's Fate." He spoke. "That is me Zeke."

What? I didn't......

"You lost your memories. Look at yourself in the mirror." The man with black eyes spoke.

There was total darkness. I didn't even realise that I had flesh.

A mirror appeared before me.

What I saw was a youth looking back at me with his dark blue eyes. He had long, shimmering blue hair.

"That." The man in red spoke. "Is the real you."

I felt a light flick on my forehead.

A frenzy chill grabbed my body, making my brain go numb.

As if a long film was being played in a fast-forward mode, unknown memories came black flooding in me.

I winced in pain, unable to reject the flowing data being poured in me.

"You have fulfilled the terms of our contract. Thus, I, King of Samraas, as your contractor shall grant you your wish."

"Zeke Hyndeal."

My eyes widened.

It was as if every past that was a part of me was thrown to the side, dissolving every identity I had into bubbles.

I was conflicted by the suddenness of my death yet "Zeke Hyndeal" made me quiver with utter dilemma.

The repressed rage, anger, never quenching thirst for revenge....

The deep scars piercing every corner of the skin, the marks on the body which spoke painful history.....

And the raging desire to inflict self harm....

All of these.....came to me at once.

All of these....

Were once the core that made up "Zeke Hyndeal."

I, who was Zeke Hyndeal.

Now that I felt it, every single incident came back to me.

I now remember.

Everything.  

Of how unfair that world had treated me. How, I, became the threshold for someone else's life and fame;

Making me burn like a never extinguishing flame.
