When Things Come To An End

Chapter 2: Who From The What Now?

Amelia had made it to the cafeteria entrance, and upon entering she saw 4 kids standing around, one of them sitting there freaking out, some of the others were trying to help the kid calm down. Amelia walked up to them, and waved at them. "Hey, so are you the kids that Felisha found." The kid that was freaking out jerked her head to look at Amelia, with a bit of hope in them. "You found her?!?" Then the hope in her face shattered, when she realized who Amelia was talking about. "Oh..." She turned her head back and curled up into a ball. One of the kids walked up to Amelia, he had blonde hair, his eyes were brown, had a lot of scars on his face and arms, he was wearing a shirt with wolves on it, and he had a costume on over it, the shirt tied to his waist. Odd to see how they're in halloween costumes. He motioned for Amelia to come closer to hear him. "She, kind of is having a problem, we were split up from the others. She's having a serious problem because Felisha, one of the people that we've been split up from, has the same name as your friend back there, and has similar looks to her, so she's a bit put on edge. Felisha is more of one of her closest friends she's ever had, so I don't know if you'd understand how she feels." Amelia looked down at the floor for a moment, then back at hunter. "Well, I actually do understand that feeling." She wiped away a tear that formed, and then walked over to the rest of the group. "Alrighty, so I'd like you all to know that we have protocols down here in this bunker, despite us being safe, we still have safety precautions, and before we begin, I'd like to know your guys's names, mine is Amelia, and I will only be addressed by that and that only." She pointed over at the boy in the wolf shirt. "You mind introducing me to you guys?" He nodded in response. "I'm Hunter, and that's Gus, Willow, and the one sitting over there is Astreya." She nodded at Hunter. "Thank you, now if you don't mind me continuing with explaining the protocols, depending on the score you have on the tests, you either have to go in a group during the day, or if you scored good enough you can choose to go it alone. The reason you go out during the day is so then we can scout out for more survivors, and not to mention supplies as well. We have to be incredibly quiet to make sure that we aren't caught. It's a matter of life or death out there, but we won't be making you kids go out there, you aren't old enough." At the heat of that Astreya stood up instantly, and walked up to Amelia with tears in her eyes. "You don't get to choose that, you will take me out there, I want to find them." Amelia put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey don't worry, We'll keep an eye out for them, we'll make sure they are okay. But I'm afraid that I can't do anything about this. Felisha made all these rules so you're gonna have to talk to her." Astreya just nodded in defeat and walked away slowly. Felisha popped in through the entrance. "Hey, is it okay if I interrupt you for a moment?" Amelia nodded. "Well I did find something on Shahoritak, but the records are ancient, but it isn't about her, it's her journal that I found." She handed Amelia a 3D printed book of the ancient book. Amelia opened it and started looking through it. "Hey, some of the stuff that's in English here is actually useful information. Corripitaition seems to be what some of them are called." She looked up to Felisha. "Are there any other things that you found on this?" Felisha nodded in response, and took the book back from Amelia. "I did, but it isn't relevant at all to this, it's well... it's time has passed." A tear ran down her cheek. "It's just an old prophecy for Rachel." Felisha let out a huge sigh. "I really miss her, it's just she disappeared and next thing we know it is that the leader of the Duklot rebellion came with the news of her passing." She shook her head. "Anywho, the conclusion is that this Shahoritak person should be dead, she's more than thousands of years old if she was still alive. None of the Mivics are still alive today, only Travlordians exist instead." Amelia looked over at the group and saw Astreya looking at both Felisha and Amelia, with a look in the eyes that led Amelia to think she knew something more about this situation. Amelia walked over to the girl. "Hey Astreya, do you have something to say about this?" She looked up and smiled. "About what?" Amelia glared at the girl in response. "Don't try to hide it, I know that you were overhearing our conversation." "Oh, uhh... Fine you caught me but I don't know anything more than you do." She looked away and reached her hand into her pocket. Amelia placed a hand on her shoulder. "Come on, I know that look, what is it?" She pulled herself away, tears in her eyes. "I don't want to talk about it ok?" Amelia's eyes went in shock from seeing the tears, was it something so bad that it hurt the girl? "Ok I understand, we'll leave you alone. We just want to understand things more, but if you don't want to–" Amelia was cut off as all the lights shut off. Felisha looked over at the purple haired girl with concern. "D.A.R.C.I. what's going on." A female robotic voice whirred and responded. "The lights have been shut down, don't know what turned them off but I can't seem to turn them back on." Amelia looked at Felisha and nodded at her, signaling she'll take care of the kids. Just as she was walking over to the kids, the alarms started going off. "Intruder alert! Felisha, you need to get everyone to safety, someone or something has broken in!" "Shit! Amelia and you kids, follow me." She motioned with a flashlight she had just turned on. They all followed her lead down the hallways. "D.A.R.C.I. we need protection, don't want anything to happen to the kids, got it?" D.A.R.C.I. whirred in response, and soon enough two metal humanoid robots showed up, with guns in their hands. Gus looked over at Felisha. "You know we can handle ourselves right?" "Don't care. We're taking all the precautions we can get." Felisha led everyone to a safe room, everyone gathered into the room and sat down. "Ok so this is where you all are gonna stay here, I'm gonna investigate." As Felisha headed out the door, she noticed Amelia following her. She turned around and looked at Amelia. "You stay here too, I don't want to lose any more people than we have." She looked at one of the robots. "Hey D.A.R.C.I. make sure they don't leave will you?" The robot nodded and whirred in response. Felisha made her way out the door, closing it after her. The robots stepped in front of the door. Amelia punched a wall. "She can't do this. I can't sit here and do nothing." "Then don't" The purple haired girl looked over to the direction of the voice and Astreya. "What?" Astreya had a fierce look in her eyes. "If you can't sit here and do nothing then let's do something." As Astreya finished talking, a very loud roar could be heard from a distance. It made everyone fall to the ground, grasping their ears except Amelia and the robots. Something about that roar must be affecting the others, but why? She then came to a conclusion she should try and see if she could connect out to anything she feels in her thoughts. She sat down on the floor and closed her eyes, and started meditating. Nothing was happening, so she just decided to stop, but right as she opened her eyes, she saw a plain full of flowers, and there was a sunset in the distance, hitting against the winding waves of the ocean. She looked around and saw a figure sitting on the ground. Amelia walked over to the figure and sat down next to it. "So, what are things like dad?" The figure looked over revealing blue hazel eyes, a short haircut with the hair a strawberry tinted brown color. "Beautiful as ever, Amelia. I can never get tired of this sunset. Now what is it this time that is the matter?" He looked into her eyes and held her hand. "You can tell me, I'm here for you." She looked at the sunset then back at her dad. "Well, there was this roar that we all heard and everyone but me fell to the ground trembling, grasping their ears in pain. I don't know what this means and why it isn't affecting me." His eyes grew wide. "Please tell me you aren't serious." "What's wrong?" "Only one race is ever able to withstand that roar, and that creature is insanely bad. It's Ydrilzaks, he was the Duskera king, he's supposed to be dead. When he turns into a dragon that roar pierces everyone but the Travlordians. You guys are in trouble and you need to get out of there, like now!" Amelia's eyes grew wide as well. "OH SHIT! Felisha went down to investigate." Her dad nodded. "Go get her and find her and get out of there!" Amelia closed her eyes then opened them back up to find herself back in the safe room. "Amelia! Is everything ok? You weren't getting up, we couldn't wake you." Amelia placed a hand on Astreya's shoulder. "Yeah I'm fine, and we need to get the hell out of this place, but first we need to find Felisha." Astreya nodded in response. "Alright so then what are we waiting for?" Amelia held a hand to her. "Give me a moment, let me reason with the bots before anything else." She walked up to one of the bots and knocked on its head. "Hey D.A.R.C.I., you there? Cause we need to go find Felisha and get the hell out of here." The robot whirred and looked at Amelia. "Sorry, Felisha has sent orders to me to keep you guys here." Amelia let out a loud sigh. "Yeah, and you don't understand Felisha is in danger, Ydrilzaks is alive and out there." The robot's face soon turned into worry. "Alright let's get going. This is very bad. Stay behind us, in fact if you need reinforcements go like this." The robot clenched its fist in the air and pulled it down and then punched it forward. "Got it? It will send a protective suit for you, you will all need to do it individually." Everyone got ready to head out and headed towards the door and opened it. To their surprise a group of individuals were standing outside of the door, holding guns pointing at them.
