Date: Tuesday

13. 2020 (same day).

Place: pilane / meguel's bedroom (Botswana)

"That was insane! So we're really not alone, eh? Crazy. it's just all nuts!" As I was digesting what had happened I fell asleep on my bed without even knowing. (" hey, hey, kid! wake up. "someone whispering.

" who's that?"

I lifted my head up, still feeling sleepy.

" Hey kiddo, what's up?

Nice to meet you finally. am I right or I am right because I'm never wrong. "

Followed the sound to its location and stopped to the direction of the closet.

"That's it, good.

You know me, don't you?

I helped you in your darkest hours.

For instance; when you were alone and didn't have anyone to talk to, when you felt sorry for yourself because you couldn't play with the other kids I have been your source of comfort.

Anything rings a bell?

That's OK if you don't remember, maybe you'll recall this

Since is the thing that made us who we are. "

" Remember those days when nobody but our mother believed that we could be anything that we set our mind to. We watched our mother struggle for us, she is the one who fought for our education. From that day, we promised her even though if it wasn't through her face, we promised

that her troubles would not be in vain,

Even when you let people's words overcome ours, but you know what? i was there.

I didn't want their words be the truth.

I showed you that we were not useless

That we could become someone who could be relied on.

As TIME PASSED WE OVERCAME Our OBSICLES.

People started noticing us

And when you moved here. when you started making friends, having mentors, your sensei who believed in you, suddenly I became less important to you.

After putting me in a closet for so many years I guess they are right when they say what goes around, comes around."

Hahaha

Hahaha haha.

"So you want my company again? "

Meguel :"No!"

"C'MON, I know it. This is how its goes, isn't?"

Meguel :"N-NO, THAT'S NOT-"

"Meguel!

stop lying to yourself and let me handle it all like in the good old-days.

Without me, I guess they're right. you ARE useless."

Meguel : "NO, NO, you're wrong. I'm not,

I'M not useless! ")

I Woke up and looked towards the closet.

"it was just a nightmare."

... (so can anyone have this key even criminals?)

"Aaaaaaaaaaa...? why are you staring at me, mom? AND jicama, stop noting down every single thing I DO, It's annoying!"

"Sorry Lora, my brain is all over the place right now. I don't know what's real or not,

Concerning what I witnessed 9 hours ago.

What's more important, are you OK?"

Hehehe.

Chuckled and Assured my mom that I was ok.

I told my family that I was glad that they were safe and sound. After remembering something big i asked them about it.

" where's Ria?

is she OK?

Did she get hurt? I can't check up on her because I lost my phone and it's late to go to her house now."

" Don't worry, your friend is safe and unharmed."

Sighed in relief.

During the conversation in the sitting room,

The news in the TV came on. It was about politics, weather and local news. I usually don't watch news but one of its headlines caught my eye. The headline was about criminals escaping from prison around the globe in ways that couldn't be explained. These were no ordinary prison breaks, this was something no mankind has never seen.

all prison guards which were interviewed were trembling and stuttering everytime they were questioned about the recent events that transpired. Half of the warders died in the alcatraz and 10 more in ADX Florence,20 in Angola,

30 in sabaneta prison and there the list went on and on until the end of time. The news reporter, Lucy Abens who was reporting this scope of the century in the Metropolitan correctional center also didn't know what to make of this.

"It seems, the more we live, the more we drive the earth into chaos and destruction.

There are those who want to save it and those who would want it to burn to ash. Tell me son, on which side does your heart fall under?"

"Well, I thought I knew where my place was on this unforgiving world. It turns out the more that I think things are going to get better it usually gets even worse. I try to follow Mma's advice

Which was to always keep smiling even in dark times but na, na I don't-"

" Listen nick, no matter what you're going through know that you can't always make the perfect call. Life has a way of throwing us through a loop especially when we least expect it, but it doesn't mean you can't break out of it. A hero is not born, they can be made but the thing that made them a hero can either destroy or make them delusional. A hero doesn't need to proof him/herself to be a hero, they are recognized by their actions and how they choose to overcome their challenges. you probably think these criminals are villains that shouldn't be given any human rights, right ? Villains are not born but created, Nick. Don't let people define the person you are, alright?"

Chasing the runner away scouter proved to be futile. The traitor eventually got away." What now?" I asked myself.

" Xan-x, we have some trouble back on earth." the general troop relating the information to Xan-x.

Xan realized that he would arrive a little bit later, so he asked Nina and her organization to take care of things until their arrival. Being 7,200,368,000 light-years away from Earth, he needed to find out what the situation was and solve it before the issue got out of hand.
