Helping a Broken Soul (Purified max au)

Chapter 2.

Max's POV

     "Wha? Where... Uhhg I need a rest.. " I said getting up heading to my tent crawling  under the thin sheet of cover that laid over the rickety cot.
     'Just rest.... Refuel your energy, and strength. And rest' those words I heard were right before I drifted off.

Max's dream.

     He walked down a flight of stairs before sitting down at a kitchen table. "Breakfast is almost ready kid. "
     "Ok dad! " he started toying with a necklace. The food was set down, it was a plate off eggs, a slice of toast, and a cup of grape juice. After breakfast he grabbed a white book bag after putting on a light gray jacket. "Bye Dad! " he said heading down a sidewalk. Every house was the same. But soon he reached a certain building. He knocked on the door.
      "Name? "
      "Maxwell! "

Max's POV.
     
      "Max.. Max.. " I woke up to David waking me up. "Ah.. You're awake. It's time for dinner. " I rubbed my eyes. Eventually we reached the mess hall. It was pizza day. I grabbed a slice followed by a breadstick.
     "Hey Max! " Nikki said basically running right into the table.
     "Geez Nikki chill.. " Neil said as he sat down. Something was off to me. Typically I wouldn't care or notice but 26 seemed to be there... Like everywhere. I let it go but not before I wrote it down. We all finished dinner. We then just made bracelets.

    I had soon noticed my bracelet had 17 beads?.... Huh...
    "Alright campers!! It's campfire time!! " he said I got up tieing the bracelet around my wrist before noticing another on which had 21?...i put that one on as well.
    "Wait up!! " I shouted running after them before tripping.

    "Let me help, " he said helping me up.
    "Thanks, welp I've got to follow them. Talk to ya later! " I said running off.

???'s POV
