INSIGHT CHAPTER 1 : WHEN HUMANS FADE

WHEN HUMANS FADE

Mom! Is that you? .. I ran towards her and tried to give her a hug but as I ran towards her she disappeared. "Hey, you can't leave me here. Take me with you. Please don't leave me here". But she didn't hear my voice. And it's just me and me alone." Where, where am I." I was shocked. I don't know how I got here or why am I here. All I know is that I'm in a place surrounded by darkness. Just like the outer space but just the stars are missing. In other words I'm standing in a dimension where everything above, below, front and back all I can see is darkness. Things got strange when I realized that I'm not floating. I can stand in that dimension the surface below my foot was cold and firm. I was afraid. There was not even a ray of light. I felt lonely and was so afraid. Standing there and letting myself to rot was not an option, so I started walking. I neither know my starting point nor the end. All I could do is to walk till I see an opening or a ray of light.

To keep a measure and to keep myself entertained I tried to count the number of steps I took. I started walking in a straight path without changing the direction. It was a bit difficult to walk there so every step needed ten times more effort than we usually walk. As I reached almost sixty steps things started getting weird. I saw people faces of people approaching towards me and they came near me and started staring at me and none of them was familiar. I realized they were not real but this has something to do with this place. I moved towards it and payed a closer look. I think they are faces of people who got stuck like me. Wait, it's just me, those are my faces but they all look completely different from each other but somehow it's all mine. How can a person have multiple faces? Am I dreaming? I gave a deep thought and realized these are just illusions there exist no faces at all. It's all my mind creating false images and illusions. As soon as I realized those images started fading and faded completely.
And after I saw those illusions I realized, I don't know who I am , I don't know my name , identity , the place where I belong..Nothing. All I know about me is that I don't know where I am surrounded by darkness walking alone searching for a ray of light. "Who am I?"I figured I will get my answers to my questions as I move forward. "Why am I walking? Shouldn't I stay here till someone comes to rescue me? And I stood there for like a while but then slowly my foot started to sink. "Great, so I can't stand at a place for more than a period". So I continued walking. And I was near to approach my First milestone of hundred steps. I was a bit happy also a bit tired still I started walking at a pace hoping that this would be the end of my journey. And as I reached a hundred steps a smoke was formed in front of me and Mirror appeared. "What's with this stuff how can I see something in this extreme darkness and there is a mirror in front of me and I am able to see it." I was a bit curious about whether I can see something in that mirror. I moved towards the mirror hoping to see my reflection but I was shocked when I saw myself in it. I had a huge hole in my heart and blood was flowing out through it. I realized that my heart was broken. I was having a gloomy face which failed to produce a smile. I tried to lift my lips up to make me smile but I failed. I turned back and I saw that I could see the path I came through. I can see the trace of blood throughout the way. It made me uncomfortable. Does this mean anything, or is it somehow related to me. After sometime the mirror faded away and I kept on walking , He couldn't get his mind out of the state after seeing himselves in that condition " I mean how am I still alive as each step I take I lose a considerable amount of blood , I realized that I'm not in my human state. But one thing he knew for sure this darkness and my broken heart sure have a meaning in it. Maybe it's another lead for me to know my real identity. As I started and till now I've gained a lot of information about who I am and what my identity is, and is sure hope I'll learn more of it as I advance forward. Suddenly I felt a huge pain in my heart and my bleeding rose rapidly. I was out of breath and slowly I lost my consciousness and I fell down. And once I woke up half of my body was sunk and I struggled to get up. And somehow I made it and I didn't know why or what happened to me. I was getting used to the surroundings and I walked forward without raising any unnecessary questions to myself. Its nearly Two Hundred Thirty steps from my start and I wonder what else is going to happen to me. And it happened just like I imagined , After walking Twenty more steps I reached Two Hundred and Fifty and I think this is when I had a turning point in my Journey.
As I reached my second milestone a smoke formed in front of me, and a Clock appeared infront of me." Wait, what's a clock doing here. It is not showing any time but it has... wait I think it's somewhat like a Stopwatch. I saw a button and as I pressed it I started falling down, and I kept falling down for a while and I crashed down to somewhere, I could see the stopwatch in the sky and it started moving slowly my surroundings changed, I could see my life story floating around me, It's me and my parents, We used to have a lot of fun together, "Yes, That's me, and those are my parents" and I slowly started getting full details about Who I was. My dad was killed by some thieves while attempting a robbery, and I only had my Mom with me. All the others, my friends, My Families slowly started fading away from me. I was always there for everyone when they needed me but no one came for me when I needed them the most. I was used to be an Introvert and was poor in Social Skills so they number of friends I had was only few, as time passed people started fading away from me. The ones I loved the most, The once I thought who cared me the most started disappearing from my life and after some years my mom died as well leaving me alone. "Yes, Now I get it even if I'm here or in the real world it doesn't make any difference. And that gives me my answer for my broken heart and a dimension with no rays of light at all". I used to be alone always in pain and sorrows and in severe depression. I wished I had someone for me; it's a lot of pain. It hurts a lot and the pain of being alone hurts you more than any physical wounds. I looked at the sky and I realized that my times up, I got answers for my questions , I now know my identity and as my time was up the clock sucked me in and dropped me back to the old dimension. At that moment I realized I've only got my answers for a Part of my questions and I have a lot of mysteries to be solved. I still don't know where this dimension leads to or when ill stop my journey. It still remained as a Question mark and I moved forward. As I walked I felt my eyes getting wet, at First I thought it was tears but it was blood. My eyes started to bleed as well and I don't think it's a good sign. I tried to run and as I ran a distance and looked back I realized that I didn't even make a single step forward and then I came to know about what's happening. The Place where I am now is my fate. No one could ever enter ones fate and somehow I made it here. And the reason I couldn't run was because no one can outrun or skip his fate or fateline. A person must walk through his fate and must not try to create disturbance in its stability.
All I can do I walk. I can't sit or Run but only walk till my fate shows its end. As I proceeded something crashed infront of me and emitted a huge amount of light. My heart was filled with joy as it had been a while since I've seen light. And I went near it I could see it. The thing I was searching for, The Book of Fate. The book which can Re write someone's past, present, or future just by making corrections in it. A tried to walk as fast I could to the Book it disappeared out of sights. Which was a huge shock to me, I thought everything was going to end but now the book disappeared and I had no options but to continue walking. I lost my count when I was Two Hundred Fifty and the next incident must happen at the next milestone so I considered this to be my Five Hundredth Step and I hope this will end once I reached my next milestone. The Thousandth Step. I was placing all my bets on it and things got worse as I moved on. My Predictions were correct it's him. I placed my foot and I felt it wet and I look at my feet I saw a trace of blood infront of me. And that explains as No one could ever could ever change someone's fate or enter someone's fatezone which I entered. As a result my alternate opposite soul is walking ahead of me inorder to balance the effects caused in my fatezone. If I caused any fluctuations in my fatezone my Opposite soul will change its direction towards me and once I come in contact with it i'll get neutralized with it and giving the excess fate energy for the disturbances I caused. In other words he is the guardian of my fate zone.
My life has always been a terrible and a miserable one to me and thus I committed suicide in my real life and all these incidents are happening in seconds between my life and death. So Inorder to live in my real life I must change my fate with The Book of Fate without coming in Contact of the Guardian soul. I came to know about it when I returned from the Dimension where the Stopwatch threw me. I walked forward and I was near to my last milestone and everything was fine and I was happy I am going to die but things changed when it happened. As I came near to Nine Hundred and Eighties I sensed another scent of smell, which neither belonged to me nor to The Guardian. I changed my direction I followed the path of the blood and I saw a girl almost of my age drowning and it was just half of her body and a hand left to sink. I tried to run but I couldn't so I walked with my entire pace and grabbed her by her hand and it was a close call. And as I came in contact with her soul I come to know this is the girl I saw when I was in the other dimension but I didn't knew her because she is the one who is engaged to me in my future and we are going to have memories together so if I am going to die the part of her soul which have memories and relations with me will die with me. I pulled her out and saved her soul and I never thought what's going to happen after this. I changed her fate by saving her from death and even if it's a part of a soul which was going to die even a minor disturbance in Fatezone can cause huge Effects. As expected the Guardian Soul changed its direction towards me. And he was coming for me. It's because it's my fatezone her soul can't walk but just lay still so I had to carry her. I carried her in my hands and moved towards my finals steps and the Guardian Soul was getting near as we were both walking towards each other, No matter if I change my direction the result will only be the same. As there was a need for a Miracle it happened her soul which I was carrying was slowly drinking up all my sorrows and depressions all into herself and once she drained it out of me she floated from my hand and she shined bright leading me to the path where The Book of Fate was.

I moved towards it and I was sure I won't make it but somehow I managed to reach the before the Guardian reaches me I think it's because her soul I was able to reach it. I tore my pages and wrote a new fate and as I wrote my words I closed the Book of Fate. The Guardian was only a step away from me but as I closed my Book it I changed my fate destroying the current dimension. The Guarding Faded away before he could touch me and the whole darkness around me started to breakdown allowing rays of light and hope into my life and once I corrected it I saved myself from death.

"Yes, I made it. I'm alive" My heart was filled with joy and when I placed my hands in my chest I couldn't find the hole anymore. "Its all because of you, I don't even know your Name , Where you belong or Who you really are, But one thing I know for sure that I'm alive at this moment because of the Love you gave me.
