Twisted Fates (A rebirth ff)

8

(3rd Person POV)

There are gold dust particles flying all around in the darkness as the silhouette of a man stands there, inaudible words in the background.

The silhouette turns around, revealing himself as Noah as he walks towards a small rectangular light.

Suddenly the Noah from the last timeline appears in front of the current Noah, covered in blood and coughing more of the crimson liquid.

The voice repeats its question again, this time getting an answer.

I do.

An image of a trapped Neo appears in front of Noah.

The exact copy of Noah with the exception of golden eyes appears in front of him, behind a glass with several cracks.

The device on Noah's neck turns yellow once again, as the man jolts up from his sleep in a cold sweat. Noah gasps trying to catch his breath as his device speaks again.

ᴜɴᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀɪꜱᴇᴅ ᴍᴏᴅᴜʟᴇ ᴅᴇᴛᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

Noah struggles to catch his breath for a few more minutes before finally calming down.

"What was that......?"

The man wonders to none in particular, still clenching his chest.

It didn't feel like the usual heart pain....
And I think I faintly heard another's voice.....

"Nevermind that. What time is it now? It still looks pretty dark"

The raven haired man gets out of the bed, putting his specs on as the clock shows "1:50PM"

"Hold on..... Its afternoon already? But why would the afternoon be so--"

Dark

"No way..."

Noah immediately rushes to the balcony, slamming open the window. To his utter displeasure as he had anticipated and wished didn't happen, there was a solar eclipse taking place.

Before I knew it, the eclipse was already here...
And this time, somehow I was it's only spectator.

Unknown to him though, his second statement wasn't exactly true.
