Enlightened By Nightmares

Chapter-11-Reasons to go on

3 days pasted, it was a Saturday and I missed those 3 days of school, but mentally I wasn't ready for school yet. I sat in my couch for about 65 hours, I barely ate and drank anything as I wrapped myself in a white sheet and sat in a fixed position the entire time, my legs hurt and my cuts stung even more, I cleaned up the blood and the knife but I had nothing to fix the wall. The TV was on the whole time too, I just skipped through random channels at will. And I forgot to mention, Yuji and Gekido never stop talking and it's driving me insane. The television shows and anime are the only things keeping my sanity, but at about 12noon, I stumbled on a news station and they were talking about a rabid group of terrorists with strange ties across the world. These terrorist used science to drive them, and most of their operations are just testing of their projects, things like cloning and a super soldier project. But the reason why their terrorists are that they use normal people as test subjects; they even caused a disease outbreak in 2015, and a mass murder spree in 2010. The 2010 incident was mention several times, because at the time several houses were invaded and families were all murdered without anyone in the neighborhood knowing. A list of people and families then began to be named, and near the top of the list Akari was called. It shocked me, my family was involved in this mass murder, I remember everything, my parents were killed by these people and if these terrorist only kill in the name of research and testing they killed them for a reason. Then I began to think harder

"THAT'S IT!" I shouted in my mind,

 their test must have been on me, that one tall bearded man, he shot me with a revolver and I lived, how is that possible, because I should be dead right now. When I think about it, that bullet must still be in my brain right now. That bullet is not a normal bullet, or is it even a bullet? Who knows, but what I know is that these people did something to me and I think, or rather I know that Yuji, Gekido and Seirento are all the results of their tests, I have no doubt about it. I jumped out of the couch and stretched, then out of the news cast they showed a blurry picture of a tall man who is said to be their leader, and he calls the group "Enigma". Enigma, the group of people that ruined my life, no matter what Yuji, Gekido or Seirento do I now had a reason to keep going, now that I know who my parents' killers were. Then I looked at my scars, and punched a nearby wall with the last of my energy as I stormed to the kitchen and scarfed down as much food as my stomach could hold, and drank all the water in the fridge. Yuji appeared and watched, he laughed then disappeared once more.

"As much as I don't want to, I'm asking you three for more help," I said as they all appeared near me with confused expressions on their faces.

"I need to get as much Intel on this 'Enigma' as possible," I said as Gekido walked up to me and said,

"you seem desperate, but I have a plan that could work, I'll tell you later,"

hearing him speak so close in front of me sent chills down my spine, but I agreed to his offer, right now all I want if revenge and nothing more, until something unexpected happened, "*knock knock*" went on my door, as I turned to it in wonderment,

"is it just me or is someone knocking on my door," I asked,

"for an introverted guy like you I'm surprised even if the police visit you," Seirento said,

"shut up, what should I do?" I asked once more,

"go answer it dummy," Yuji replied.

 I went to the bathroom and washed my face, then approached the door and opened it slowly. I only peeked out my right eye to see who it was, and what I saw was a girl with short brown hair, deep black eyes and with a worried look on her face, it was my classmate Kazumi,

"before you say a word, I'm curious...how did you find me?"
