Sinistral

Chapter Seven

One wrong turn, one screw up is all it takes. I mean I had them a lot back on Earth. I mean everyone does right? I had them quite a lot throughout my life. Mostly because my foster parents got drunk when I was younger.

I still remember those devil eyes within them when they had drank way over the limit. How they take there anger out on the only other person apart from themselves, me. It feels like a long time ago but its still deep in my memory and sometimes comes to the surface.

One mistake was taking it for so long. I learnt not to be treated like a piece of crap on someones shoes. I still let it happen a lot even if I convinced myself otherwise but being in Sinistral had brought it more out of me.

I remember when Zack had pulled me from the water and that guy being there. That was the time I found out about Sinistral and to be honest more than I even wanted to know! But I guess I have to admit that was when I knew I wasn't going to take it anymore. Not only because I had been chosen but because I wasn't going to let him push me around. He didn't own me and I knew I was going to escape him.

I had so many questions and even some of them seemed really stupid but I wanted to know stupid things. To keep a part of human still inside me. I never wanted to lose that or lose who I am. I'm known for the stupid questions but also the ones that need to be asked.

My foster parents told me that all the time. I can take a situation and make it seem stupid but also make it feel so real at the same time. I had been so lost in thought I hadn't noticed we had stopped.

I found myself standing next to Zack and the guy standing in front of us. If you haven't already guessed one of my stupid questions is I want to know his name. So I could stop referring to him as this guy or the guy who saved me or told me my so called task.

We were in some kinda confined space but the air seemed easy to breathe, no heat but also not too cold either. The only way out was the way we had came in from but the guy seemed to know what he was doing.

He led us over to a rock. Zack and I sat down and he stood in front of us. "So is this a safe place to tell us?" I ask.

"Yes but first Cayden I will answer a few of your questions before I tell you about Sinistral," he smiles.

I grin slightly before I spoke. "What is your name?"

"Do you really want to know my name?" he asked.

I look at him and take a glance at Zack before I look back at him. His green eyes looking right at me, his black hair messy like my own. I then nod my head to let him know I do.

"My name is not a name as such. I've never lived on Earth neither on Sinistral but I do have a name just a first name. Actros," he smiles.

"If you never lived on earth and not here where did you live?" Zack asked the question which I also wanted to know an answer for.

"Gorlodion," he said in a whisper.

"What's that?" Zack asked. I eyed him up, not that I minded him asking the questions but it had been my question to start with, well kind of.

"Its another place, another place that you would have gone too Cayden if you hadn't been chosen. That would have been if we had been strong enough to get you there. Ever since this place has changed and got so twisted its been hard to control where you go after death on earth. The boss, he takes who ever he likes these days," Actros says softly.

"Yeah and sometimes he gets us by accident. He chucked me aside like a rag doll. He couldn't care less about me but I never knew why. All I do know is I want revenge," Zack said through greeted teeth. It was the first time I had seen him so angry since I met him. His fists were clenched and his face was going red.

There was many things I didn't know about Zack and that scared me slightly. I didn't know much about this place at all but I could tell I was about to find out.

"You soon will," smiled Actros which made Zack calm down which I was grateful for. The last thing I wanted was to have an angry Zack. I could tel, he wasn't to be messed with. He knew his stuff, he seemed to even know more about me then I did.

Which I have to mention is weird.

"Who is this boss? Why is he in charge? Are you saying it never use to be like this? Why do I have to destroy the core," I ask my head spinning with so many questions I thought it was going to explode.

"Destroy the core?" Zack asked confused. I turn my head towards him and sigh.

"Yes. Cayden has been chosen to destroy the core. If he destroys the core he can take him down and bring Sinistral back to the way it was," Actros smiles.

"No it never use to be," said Zack.

"You are smart, how do you know?" Actros asked. Zack wasn't meant to know? I'm getting so confused.

"Can someone please tell me, none of this makes any sense!" I shout.

"Do you really want to know about the history of Sinistral. Its probably the worst thing you Will ever hear," says Actros.

"I need to know," I whisper but I regretted it as soon as I said it as Actros came right over to me and Zack and placed his left hand on my forehead and his right hand on Zack's forehead.

A strange feeling came over me. Everything around me seemed to dissolve. I felt like everything was spinning, like I was going to be sick.

My eyes shot open. I found myself standing on soft grass. At first I thought I was back on earth, alive and I had dreamt about Sinistral and none of it had happened but I soon figured out I wasn't.

Zack stood next to me and so did Actros. "What is this?" I ask him.

"I'm showing you the history of Sinistral," he whispers.

"This is Sinistral?" I ask.

"Yes." Actros pointed towards a path ahead and two figures coming down it.

"This is where the horror began."
