Beyond Heaven and Hell

Chapter 15 - Another Visit?

*Nate's POV*

"Nate"... "Nate"... "NATE!"
I was woken by a soft, caring voice. Squinting, I faced where the noise came from. It was THAT MAN! I realised where I was again and who was before me.
I stuttered, "what do you want?". I didn't mean to sound so rude either, but I did just wake up. I adjusted and came to.
"Sorry, I am still adjusting and don't know what heck is going on" I sighed.
"no, I understand." The man looked at peace like he understood everything I was going through.

"This time I don't have a particular reason for visiting, I just wanted to make sure that you are okay and things are progressing..." the man left a decent pause afterwards as if he was waiting for a response.

"I.... uh, have tried to escape a few times but each time I end up back here. I DO plan to escape and figure it all out, but it is confusing, and I feel it will take a while. I have managed to put a piece of metal in the door latch to stop it from shutting and locking. That's so I can escape when needed but I don't want to rush into things just yet. Especially when I somewhat failed twice." I explained.

"What do you mean somewhat failed my friend?" he was curious.

"Well sir, I did get out twice, I discovered some questionable thing while I was out there. I already don't understand this place but other than the hell-like environment out there, I found 2 doors that I entered and looked into. There was a lady in one room who looked rough and malnourished. She kept repeating that I was the key. I had no idea what that meant. As you would know, because you appeared there and have mentioned him, I saw the boy. He looked Just like Rosco, and it was scary to be honest. I knew it wasn't him bit it was still sad to see."

"I know this is all difficult to understand but you must think logically Nathan." The man seemed serious and on the right path of discussion.

"Your wife Liza and Child Rosco are safe. They are at your home scared and worried for your safety. I can only do so much, but the effort needs to come from you. What that young lady said about the key was correct. You have a unique power here and is why the... others... want to keep you here. I really cannot tell you much more. It is all you from here." He looked disappointed as if he wished that he could do more.

"You Know Liza and Rosco!! Oh, my goodness! I miss them so much, they're the only thing that is keeping me from going on" tears began to fall down my cheeks.

"Do not stress, my friend. They are safe but they do need you. You MUST keep going and get out of this horrid place. It is cursed to say the least and I do understand that the subject is difficult to comprehend... but I do believe in you and I know that you can do this." On the positive side the man seemed very honest and gave me hope. The Willpower I was looking for.

"Thank you... for everything. I can do this, and I will. I appreciate you and everything you have done, I cannot thank you enough".

"Do not stress my friend. I believe in you, and you are stronger than you think". Before I knew it, he was gone... once again. At least this time he came with clarity.

There I sat as I processed the information that he gave me.

My Liza Lady and my Rosco baby. I am so glad they're safe. After what happened to me, I was so scared for their wellbeing. I drifted to sleep with this peace in mind.
