Another Dimension

Chapter 18-Confusion & Conclusion

Everyone looked up at the sky. It started getting very windy making the leaves from the trees bustle a lot. Sending more shivers to my spine and growing my anxiety. My heart started to thump out loud and my mind was starting to get hazy. A bead of sweat started to trail down the back of my neck. And I was aware of all sorts of flow that was going inside my body.

I was on full alert.

There were loud murmurs in the crowd. And from the crowd came out Derek, panting out loud. I was surprised to see him. He looked very tired and old. There were big bags under his eyes. Big to enough to store an ample supply. His hair which always gave me that so-called-gentle-man look had another story to tell. "Wait, don't do anything. You didn't say you will come unannounced at all."

What the hell is going on? What do you mean by that? So, you already knew? Where the thoughts started to spiral into my mind.

How many secrets and how many lies am I going to witness before I leave? Or will I ever leave?

"Well, I do what I want. And it's up to me whether I should do something or not. Not for you." And there was a long anonymous pause. No one dared to say anything including Derek. "Well then, you get ready to go." I wonder who that was?

"Yes, you who is wondering who that was, Maya."

My heart thumped loud. Loud as in very loud and it's not stopping at all. "She is not going anywhere! She is with us at all times.", Lucas yelled out loud from the crowd. Looking at me with a worrisome face. Which I knew why.

"If she doesn't you will be stuck here forever. If that's what you want." So, this was the only way, huh? To get out of here, I must go to the other dimension. All alone with just my sword. But I don't want to go alone. I don't want to be alone.

Does the life of one matter more than the lives of millions? If I must make a choice what should I do? Won't it be selfish if favored myself and also won't it look dumb if I favor others who I barely knew anything about. And besides, why should I care about them in the first place. Most of them gave me stink eyes and were didn't mind anything about me at all. But even though those kinds of people were there were many nice people too. My friends who I made here. Our leader for the game. Some of my teammates.

"So, what have you concluded Maya? Will risk your life to save others or not?" The keeper was so loud and so cold at the same time that sent chills to my bones.

With all the hesitations, confusions, and complications, I concluded. "Alright, I will do it."

The crowd murmured even louder.
