Dead But Not Gone

Hellooooooooo!!!! Welcome to the second chapter!!!  (≧▽≦)

Hero's pov

   It was a week until summer break, I can't wait to get away from here and go spend time with everyone.

College just kept getting harder and harder for him as time crept closer to summer break for them. It was only a little while, but I just want to stop doing assignment after assignment.

Sebastian and I were making plans for the couple of days that we would have before I went back to faraway, and after I came back.

We had talked about doing several things, including going to an arcade, or even the beach with a couple more of our friends.

Sebastian was also going home to his family and friends who also lived pretty far away from their college. He always talked about having an older sister and younger sister. He was always talking about how much it sucked to be the middle child.

The only sister I have is sally and she's currently a toddler in preschool, and kel was was only 3 years younger. Hearing about Sebastian's experiences I can only assume that kel isn't having such a good time as the middle child.

I was woken up from my thoughts when I heard a faint ping from my phone, it was a text from my mother.

I never really liked answering her due to how she would usually send a text almost all the time to check on my and would send whole paragraphs other times.

Of course I don't hate her, she's my mother, but she does get quite annoying at times.

Anyways I shook my head trying to stop zoning out and checked the message.

'Hello hero! I just wanted to text you to tell you that sunny will be staying at our house during the summer break as you probably knew already since he did the same for the last two years. I hope college is going alright, I bet you can't wait to graduate already, well that is all can't wait to see you! 😁❤️👍'

Great a whole paragraph. I squinted my eyes trying  to read it since I had my phones brightness low so that it didn't waste any battery.

After reading the text I send back a text of my own, 'alright' I couldn't think of anything else to text so I just settled on that.

I had a headache just looking at the 2 assignments that were going to be due in 3 days.

'Might as well get a good nights rest and try to finish it tomorrow after school. I got up and walked to the bathroom, I stared at myself in the mirror for awhile then opened the little cabnit behind the mirror and grabbed out the sleeping pills that I kept in there.

I rolled them in my hand for a little bit, I groaned when I stood up then walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water to take the pills with. I never liked taking any type of pills without any water.

I practically dragged myself to bed, carefully put my took my glasses and set them on my bedside table. I crawled into bed and set and tucked myself into the blankets.

I awoke in a in a vast wheat field, the sun shined brightly and the sky was bright blue.

In the files I could just barely make out another figure.

Their hair was a deep black color, it was long probably going down to their hips or knees, it was majestically swaying in the air.

The dress they were wearing was pure white and also swaying in the wind. I could see their skin due to the dress they were wearing being short sleeved. Their skin was also pure white, the looks almost transparent too.

"Hello?" I said quietly enough for them to hear, they didn't flinch or move at all they only stood there in silence.

Walking over closer to them only made it seem like they were getting farther away from me.

A sudden beeping noise filled my ears, I quickly raised my hands to my ears trying to cover them.

The figure turned around and faced me- it... was Mari??

They- she I mean stared back at me as I continued to be crouched down  on the ground covering my ears.

Her face turned to one of concern, I could see her mouth moving so I slowly moved my hands from my ears, only to hear nothing.

'What the fuck is happening?'

I looked up to her again

"Are you....real?" I asked in a shaky tone.

'What kind of a question is that- this is obliviously a dream what type of an idiot am I?-'

She made no movement, she didn't even blink.

She just reached out one of her hands towards my face and cupped my check. I stared at her, tears forming in my eyes.

She smiled softly at me, before everything faded to black and nothing was there but an empty void of black. There were a few black doors that have a tint of white outlining. There was also some red shines in some areas.

I quickly got up to my feet and started to tiptoe around. I walked up to a door that was to my left and tried opening it, it remained closed.

Instead I heard a distorted voice behind me, I turned around quickly and went into a defensive pose, preparing myself to try to put up a fight if the thing attacked me.

The figure I saw in front of me was all black with white glowing circles for eyes. The more I looked at it, the more it reminded me about basil. The figure looked like it had basils hair and height, but aside for that it looked nothing like basil- not even close to looking like him.

It suddenly speaked to me in a tone that sounded familiar , "How are you here-"

"W-what?" I asked the strange figure back, "what do you mean, 'how am I here'"

"You're not supposed to be here, hero".

"How do you know my name-"

The figure put a hand to my mouth making me unable to speak. They them pulled me away from that area quickly, basically dragging me away well running.

They suddenly stop running and let go of me, "it isn't safe here.. you need to leave NOW" the figure whisper yelled.

"Why are you whispering- and I'd leave if I could."

The figure sighed then continued, "listen, you really don't want to know. Just if we are going to talk PLEASE keep it in a whisper voice"

'What in the world, who even uses the words whisper voice anymore'

I started talking in a "whisper voice" as the figure instructed me to, "who- no what are you??"

"I am stranger, that is all you need to know about me"

'What kind of a out of wack name is stranger-'

"Well then how do I leave stranger"

"Well all you do hero, is grab my hand"

'What the fuck'

"Ok...?" I carefully grab the "stranger's" hand and look back up at him, "Now what?" I ask impatiently.

"Hope you don't remember this encounter."

"Huh, what do you mean-"
