CHAPTER 16 - Woke

The scientist brought Collins to safety, he was freezing cold becaused of the storm in the memory and is left hanging there. He stared at the floor of Dr. Vishu's house, still can't believe he was brought back to the real world. What had he done to Lianna? Did the watch witnessed their argument? Was it alive?

He wanted to question everything of it. But of course, he can't be given any answers. He felt shivers and quickly averted his gaze to the windows. His eyebrows curled with confusion.

"Wh... what...?"

The sky wasn't red before. He was sure it was cloudy when he got here. Vishnu noticed his stare at his window. "Oh, ahaha! That my boy, is something you didn't see before," Collins turned his head at Vishnu's voice. "But, I've seen this before, sir."

Vishnu was awkward, but he laughed it off, "Well now, you would see it more often." he jokingly said. The doc is quite in a mood right now, and the sky in the color of red is something that one shouldn't be happy about--or maybe he was just overthinking ever since Lianna left him.

"Well how are you now boy?" Vishnu changed topic, "I'm--" he paused, "a bit good," he doubted his words.

"Oh really?" the man laughed, "Well then, you would be even more better now that you're back!"

Collins ain't so sure about that. Lianna suddenly stumbled upon his memory,

"Oh don't be sad boy, we'll be in good condition in no time." Vishnu walked to the kitchen. Good condition? What does he mean? He doesn't quite get all of this, Vishnu then appears and brought a sandwich for him. Collins took it and ate it, he can't say 'no' since Vishnu was urging him to eat, though he has no appetite.

As he ate through the sandwich he immediately noticed that he didn't ask for Lianna. Maybe because he coincidentally only saw Collins?

Dr. Vishnu headed upstairs, Collins followed him and into his room. His door had a slit so he can peek, he saw Vishnu talking to a red spirit,

"Its all according to the plan. I've found the boy kid she was with,"

"So, she got rid of him, huh?" she said in a silky and seductive voice.

"The watch is deeply affecting her now," he snickered

"The Ritual will be soon..." she sneered.

Collins was devastated. He immediately went downstairs with careful footsteps and immediately left the house.

"Lianna, where are you? You need to get out there, NOW!"

Lianna was in front of an old Sanctuary. She sensed great power of light and sound despite being so dark, old and silent, she gasped at its terrifying beauty. The sunlight caressed the building's old bricks, it was blocking the sun from Lianna. She noticed that it was morning, she immediately checked the time, "7:02 in the morning..." she murmured. She searched around the area, a tree is visible from afar. It was the only tree visible since the Sanctuary was built at an open plain area, she sensed dark magic behind the tree.

Two head poked from it, but Lianna can only guess its colors since they were far away, black and blue. She dismissed the two figures watching her and pushed the Sanctuary door open. And oh they were so heavy! It gave Lianna quite some workout there. Anyway, the Sanctuary had an extensive carpet laid on its worn tiled floor. The ceiling was quite high, possibly because of its roof being pointed. It had banners? Or cloths-- acting like curtains hanging from the ceiling, though, it didn't reach the ground. Lianna guessed it had the same colour at the carpet. There were pews on its side, and there were empty pedestals once was stood by statues on the sidw of its pillars. It was majestic yet somber. She reached the front part of the Sanctuary, a large  statue figure was still intact to its place. Large windows had accepted little sunlight, since the position of the church was that its rear faced the east while the doors faced the west. It was an odd setting for a chapel-like place. She wondered if there where people who worshipped here--
