The beginning of the end (gacha story)

Chapter 5: Waking to a reality nobody wanted.

Creator groaned as her head was spinning, finding herself in her room. No one was around to even check if she was okay. "W-Was it all a dream...? It felt really weird..." she muttered to herself, sitting up and clutching her head. All the things she experienced in that place were still fresh in her mind but she couldn't pinpoint if it was even real or just another lie. After all, she had been lied to in the past by someone she trusted. After five minutes, her headache had disappeared, Creator heard voices outside her room. With her curiosity heightening, she decided to listen in and headed towards the door. "How long do you think she's going to be passed out for Gal?" a voice spoke with worry which sounded like bored. Creator's eyes widened slightly, a bit stunned that bored was watching her for this whole time. "H-Has she been sleeping properly? I hope she's ok... I don't want her to get sick again." her worries ease as she hears Galaxy's voice and one other person's too. "Bored, you don't have to worry about her all the time. She's got us, plus I can just watch her and heal any traumas she experienced." The voice was reassuring, almost soothy to listen to. The feminine voice speaks again, "Don't worry Bored, we've got this covered. You go rest after watching Creator for the whole night." Bored sighs with exhaustion as she faces her. "I'll listen to you once Mars. That's because I actually want to go to sleep this time." she says with a stoic expression from the lack of sleep. Feeling a spark of mischief arise, galaxy nudges Bored with a slight tease, Bored getting annoyed from the lack of sleep grabs Galaxy's arm in a flash. "Stop doing that Galaxy. Please." she says with her teeth gritted. Galaxy could sense Bored's resistance to snap at her and backs off. "Fine fine, I'm sorry. Your majesty." she says with a comedic laugh. Mars chuckles lightly at the interaction as bored clenches her fist with comedic anger. "Whatever, you guys can go deal with her now... I'm not going to stay around you three any longer." With that, she walks off to her room. Creator has slightly opened the door to see who was outside her room, she was still shocked that bored stayed up for the entire night to wait for her to wake up ever since she passed out. "Oh Bored... I'm so sorry that you had to stay up just for me." Creator thinks to herself, the guilt engulfs in her mind. She knows that bored is prone to staying up for long periods of time with little to no sleep and creator has constantly tried to make her rest.

Suddenly, the memory of what she witnessed in the void returns, the conversation outside her room had temporarily distracted her from the main issue that had bugged her ever since she woke up. The voices echoed within her mind, a small sweat forming from the thought of thinking about it. Creator shakes her head and decides to just wait on her bed for a bit. After all, she'd been out for a few hours by the looks of it and no one wasn't going to check up on her. Creator hops on her bed, the mattress was firm and the pillows felt cold to the touch, making her shiver slightly. Shivering from the cold was the least of her concerns at that moment. The flashbacks from the fight reminded herself of how she remembered everything from her past and her mini chaotic moment, making her feel uncomfortable. "Was that really me...? I wouldn't even consider harming anyone. Let alone witness... chaos..." She thought to herself in the tranquility of her bedroom. She tossed and turned without getting a wink of sleep, the thoughts about her past were too much to bear or forget about. By morning, creator's eyes were barely open. She got up slowly, groaning as another headache pounded in her head, swaying from side to side because of the lack of sleep. She could barely stand but she managed to walk to a mirror to see herself. Inspecting her appearance, she notices the dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep, her messy hair and loose, baggy clothing she wore. Her hair was oily from the lack of a shower and it showed from the sunlight shining right on it. "Right... the first thing I need is a damn shower. I can't go looking like I'm homeless and depressed." She heads to the bathroom to freshen up and feel clean to prepare for the time where the others notice she's awake. 30 minutes later, she comes out of the bathroom, feeling slightly refreshed but still tired. As she heads back to her room, she wonders about the light again and how it was connected to her past. "I need to know how to activate my power... maybe I can use it for good instead of causing chaos... and destruction..." she thinks to herself with a worried yet reflective look. The mere thought of seeing her act crazy in her past was out of her mind, she's never done that before and doesn't want to reawaken whatever caused it. Creator's footsteps feel heavy, echoing down the silent hallway with an eerie feeling lingering in the air. It was around 5 o'clock in the morning where the sunrise was barely starting. Closing her door, she arrives back in her cold room, the eerie feeling still lingering in the air. Creator chucks the towels on her bed and changes into her clothes even though she feels exhausted from the all nighter she pulled the previous night. Sighing with weariness, Creator checks herself in the mirror, still looking over her eye bags but can't rely on makeup to save her since she doesn't know how to apply any. "I regret not learning how to apply makeup for this type of stuff..." a comedic groan leaves her mouth as she ties her hair up into a ponytail and prepares to head outside. She looks down at her hands, the flashbacks still present in her mind but clenches them with a determined look, showing that she's going to find out more about her past and how to prevent her chaotic ways, if it ever pops up again. Suddenly the door swings open, a gasp escaping the person's lips behind her. Creator freezes in place not wanting to turn in the slightest to find out who was behind her. "C-Creator...? You're awake...?!" they exclaimed as Creator started sweating furiously. "Crap... I didn't want anyone to find out I was awake until I revealed it to them... what do I do?!" She thought to herself in a panic. Although she knew who was behind her because of the voice, she didn't want to know, she couldn't bring herself to tell the truth, or to tell whoever was behind her that she woke up a long time ago. "Creator! Answer me please! W-When did you wake up?! Why didn't you tell anyone?!" The questions spouted out of their mouth felt like daggers piercing through her body, Creator's felt the sharp pain of slight guilt and terror coursing through her body. Her body starts shaking, the fear continuing to course through her veins, the sweat dripping down her forehead makes her body heat up like the sun.
