The Prophet

The begining (Chapter 1)

Wait, why the heck is there another part here?! I thought our main guy -*whispers* - what do you mean? That makes no sense!! *more whispers* Ok, ok! I guess i'll let the readers read this part now.

Everything was pitch black, and I couldn't feel anything. "Uuuhhh" I groaned, I still felt a lot of that crushing pain. I kept laying down on the blackness of wherever I was. Whatever this thing was made of, It was really soft and comfortable, and it eased my pain a little. "Why is being dead so comfy?" I asked. I realized that my eyes were closed, I opened them. I was in a bed? "Wait, im not dead?!" I thought. "How?" I asked. I looked around some more, to see where I was right now. I saw that I was in a bedroom, no wait it was my bedroom. I was starting to remember stuff. I was in my apartment. "What time is it?" I looked at the analog clock on the nightstand beside me. "9:24 AM" Its bright neon light shone. "That's kinda early" I said to myself. I stood up. I wondered what the heck I just dream't of, and who the guy in the knight's armor was. "You just saw one of the dark lord's best men." A voice said. "Ahh!! Who just spoke!!?" I screamed in alarm. "I am the one who came before you." it replied. "No wonder you sound ancient." I said as I frantically looked for the source of that voice. "Of course, hundreds of years passed before this began again." I kept looking for this voice's source. "Will you stop trying to look for the source of my voice? I'm inside your head." It said, most likely annoyed at me, it was hard to tell how this voice felt. I stopped searching, and started thinking. Wait a second, does that mean that... No way, can it hear my thoughts too? "Yes, I can hear your thoughts too, only when necesary though." What does that mean? Why can't I remember anything from yesterday? "Because you nearly got beat to death." The voice said. What happened? And most importantly, why can't I feel any pain from yesterday? "I'm avoiding that from happening." This voice was kinda starting to creep me out. Wait how did I even get he- "I brought you to your apartment." the voice interrupted my thoughts. Suddenly, someone started banging at my front door. "Police, open up!" They said. I cautiously walked to my front door and looked through the peephole on the door, the police was here. I opened the door to let them in. "Why did you open that door?!" The weird brain voice said. Because they are police and besides, can't you trust the police? "NO! You mustn't trust any form of law enforcing people!" And why is that? "Because they wi-" "Umm, sir? Are you ok?" one of the policemen asked me. "Yea, yea i'm good" I told that guy. I was starting to realize just how many police officers were in my apartment right now, about 5 or 6 officers were here with me and they all looked at me like I did something very wrong. What did I even do? "Ok well sir, I hope that you understand why we are going to arrest you." The officer said, approaching me with a pair of handcuffs in his hands. In that moment I hear 4 loud BANGS, gunshots, in quick succession. A "police" man shot the other police men. They all died. "What the fuck!" I screamed. I stood there for a second, trying to process what just happened. Then I realised that the police guy that shot the others was starting to approach me. I ran back into my bedroom. I locked the bedroom door as soon as I got in. Ok, what the hell was that! I need to leave right now. What should I get? I walked towards the nightstand next to my bed  and opened a drawer. My phone was there, I grabbed it. Ok now I have to leave, but how though? There was a window but I can't go through there, I think? The fake police guy started kicking at my door. Oh no oh no! I gotta go through that window, theres no other way! I launched myself through the window just as I heard the bedroom door break apart.. "Oh woah!!!" I screamed as I realized that I jumped through a window on the third floor of a building, and into an alleyway. "Oh, you idiot." The voice sighed, probably ashamed of me right now. As I fell down the alleyway, I was trying to grab anything that I could to help break my fall. I kept grabbing at the air until my hands finally encountered a sturdy rope. That rope was tied to some pipes on my apartment complex, and another random building. I grabbed that rope for my life (Which would probably not last long realistically speaking). I kept holding on the rope when I realized that it was about to break. Are you kidding me?! I looked around for something else to hold on but there was nothing. The rope broke and I kept falling. "Oh crap!!" I screamed as I crashed into the ground. It hurt a lot but I probably would've died had I not grabbed that rope. I layed down for a while, to rest. Then I remembered about that fake police officer killing 4 people in less than 3 seconds. I stood up and ran. I apparently stood up too fast, cuz I immediately felt dizzy and fell down into the ground. Come on! this is ridiculous! I stood up, more slowly this time, and tried running towards the sidewalk. When I reached the end of the alleyway, a random person appeared and I crashed into them. Dang it! Why the heck can't I just leave this stupid alleyway! "Sorry! Are you ok?" I said in a hurry. I took a look at who I bumped into. This person was a woman, she had a gray sweater, with the hood pulled up. She also had black pants and black shoes. It seemed like she wanted to be stealthy but, wearing black in the day? I ran past her. "Hey don't leave her! She is friendly!" l stopped right in my tracks. What? But I don't even know her? And, who the heck is she? "She is the Witch." Oh wow, a witch, how inviting. "I know how it sounds but she will still help us in our journey." Journey? To where? "That does not matter, but you still need to go back with her." Hmmmm, ok. I walked back to the woman. "So uhhh...." I trailed off. What was I gonna say? that a voice in my head told me that she would help me? Yea of course, she wouldn't believe me for a second if I told her that. "..Im in a umm...situaton here." I said. "Oh yeah? What's that situation?" She asked me. "Im kinda getting chased by a psycho with a gun." I said casually." "Ohh, really?" She said. It seemed that she was listening to something, but she didn't have any earbuds...does she also have a voice in her head? "Of course she has one, everyone has a voice in their heads." The weird ancient brain voice said. So everyone that i'll meet is crazy? "Yes" The voice said plainly. The entrance door to my apartment building opened and the fake police officer came out, I could even see the murderous intent in his eyes. "Oh shit." That woman said as she pulled me back into the alleyway. Just then I heard some shots fire into where we were half a second before. The Witch pulled out two glass viles. "Here, take this" She said, giving me one of the viles. "But this thing is empty?" I said in confusion. The vile she gave me was in fact, empty. I didn't see how this thing could help us. "Just open it. "Ok..." I said as I tried to pop open the cap of the vile. "Uhhh, you twist off the cap." She explained to me. "Ohhh!" I exclaimed. I tried twisting the cap off. "No! Wait!!" She screamed at me suddenly. "What! What did I do now?!" I said, kind of annoyed. "Don't twist the whole cap off!" She explained. "Why?" I asked her. "You'll see..." She answered slowly. "Now, twist the cap off, while facing the street." She instructed me. "This is so dumb, that guy is gonna shoot us!" I screamed. "Just do it!" She told me. "Oh fine, let's see how this goes." I twisted the cap off just as the fake police officer arrived to the alleyway. A huge wind emerged from the bottle, sending that guy flying to the street. I saw him get ran over by a car before the wind's pressure was too much for me to handle. The vile shot right into my chest and sent me flying back into some trash bags. I heard glass breaking and felt many small cuts form in my legs. "Oh crap, I did NOT think that would happen!" The Witch shouted, I heard some footsteps, she was running to me, "Ohhh..." She said ominously, her tone scared me, what happened? "What?" I asked the Witch, "Ummm, you're bleeding...pretty...badly I might add" she said. "Are you ok though?" she asked me. "Lady, I've been chased by a guy with a gun, I've been pumeled by a freaking glass vile and I am bleeding, I don't think I'm fine" I answered, "Well, let me help you up then..." The Witch said as she grabed my arm and started pulling at it hard. "Ack! wait!" I shouted in pain. "What?" she asked me. "I thought my arm was gonna pop off for a while!" I said loudly. I stood up, apparently my legs still functioned well, so no wheelchair for me! I tried walking, and failed. "Ooof" A gust of wind came out of my mouth. "Oh god, you can't even walk." The Witch said "Here take this" She pulled out a glass container with a yellow liquid inside and gave it to me. I opened it and swallowed everything at once, after a second a horrible taste had emerged. "What...was that! That tasted...like pee!" I coughed out. "Heheh" The Witch laughed. "Why are you laughing at me?!" I asked, my mouth tasted rotten. "That's the first time someone said that" the Witch giggled. "Someone else tasted your vile liquid?!" I asked. "Yeah, a homeless guy down the street, he passed out" She said fondly. "Crazy" I muttered "What did I even drink?" "Homemade medicine." The Witch said plainly. So poison then. "Ok try walking now." The Witch told me. "Ok..." I said as I concentrated on standing up and moving my legs. It worked! "I can't believe it. Your poison worked!" I said in awe. The Witch just gave me a smug look. "So, where do we go?" I asked her. "My car is in the street." She  said. We walked through the street and passed at least 9 cars. "Ok here we are!" The Witch said excitedly once we reached a crimson colored car. What an odd color for a car. I pulled on the car door handle, the car door opened, and I sat on the back seat. The Witch sat on the driver's seat. She turned on the car and we were rolling through the road in no time. Hmm, I don't know this woman's name, let's change that. "Uhh, what's your name?" I asked her. "Oh right, I didn't tell you that yet...name's Rose." She said. "And what's your name?" She asked me. "Oh, my name's...is...it's...ummm...." I trailed off. How, how the heck did I forget my name?! "Oh, so you forgot it too." Rose said thoughtfully. "What? But you said your name." I said. Rose turned back to look at me, "I actually did forget my name, I just put a random name for me." She explained to me. "Maybe you can do the same thing." She offered me. "Maybe later, I gotta focus on surviving right now." I said, looking at my legs. Rose just shrugged and put her attention back to the road. These cuts were starting to hurt a lot more since the "home-made medicine". Maybe its just the bad taste. I layed down on the car seat, I looked at my legs. I was wearing dark blue jeans, which were now filled with tiny cuts, I could also see shards of glass covering my pants. I sat up and looked through the car window. We were in the outskirts of the city (I forgot its name too, boy is my memory bad). As time wore on and I got older by the second, I could see that the city was starting to transform into wilderness. Finally, we're getting some progress done, but where are we going? "Heh, you don't know what's coming for you" What do you mean?...Oh ok, fine, don't tell me some important info, I can live without it anyways! I kept looking through the car window, we were about to reach a wooden bridge. "Uhhh, are you sure that bridge will hold our weight?" I asked Rose. "Yeah, I'm sure it will, or else, we would fall in the chasm" She responded. "Wait, a chasm!?" I asked. "That is what the bridge is gonna let us cross, I know it doesnt look sturdy, but it's strong enough to hold us, I drove through this bridge to reach you." Rose explained. "Ok well, if it breaks down and we die, im blaming you for everything." I said. "Yeah, yeah I heard you" She said. We reached the bridge, "I wonder, can you find light in a hopeless situation?" What? Is this a question of your old times? "This is a question that should be asked at all times, you will be tested very soon" I don't even know what nonsense you're saying but ok. We reached the bridge, the bridge cracked the instant we got on it, "Oh crap, this is so not ok" I said, I knew that something bad was coming. We were at the middle of the bridge when it finally snapped. "Are you kidding me!" I screamed as the car fell. Well, at least I have some experience in dying now.
