Chasing Limits

Chapter 3

Aisha had already gone back to the girls sleeping area and was in bed, wearing pajamas. She then fell into a long sleep.

She stood in a hallway. She looked both ways then looked down. She was wearing a silk white dress. The hallway was long and narrow. She looked at the doors that were at each end.

One said 'Stay In Your Past' and the other said 'Join The Future'.

Aisha decided to walk to the future. She did this a lot. She would dream something, and it would come true someday.

She always had dwelled on the past. She decided to go to the future. She only went to the future once. She decided not to mess with it again and stay behind. But something was telling her to go to the future.

She took a step, and her dress was automatically stained in red hues, and she tried to run to the future instead of walking. She thought it would help.

But how cliche did that sound? Very. The hallway's door opened. The one behind her swallowed her.

She was in a room. It was pitch black, and all of a sudden a light shone on her. The sounds of a spotlight turning on went off.

She blinked away at the light burning behind her eyes. Such a simple thing gave her a headache.

She attempted to move, but she was chained down. She was unable to move her arms and feet. She struggled, but stopped after her efforts failed.

Aisha started losing hope. She began crying. Warm tears rushed down her face, and all she could think about was Kai and all her friends back at her second home. "All I wanted was to make people and maybe even myself... just happy!" Aisha voice was scratching from all of her sorrow.

"All I wanted was to be free," anger erupted in her voice started to get to her. "I never asked for this to happen... who's doing this?" she asked herself. She starts bawling. All of her pent up emotions poured out. The chains break loose and she was free.

Aisha's eyes had opened wide and were bloodshot from how hard she had been crying. "I wish I could leave..." she said quietly to herself.

Her vision slowly started to fade, and her surroundings started to disappear. The last thing she saw was an image of a gun. It had a black barrel and was a pistol shaped gun. It had a number on the side. 'X900902' it read.

Aisha woke up, sweating. She almost screamed. She sat up, shooting out of bed. She hit the empty top bunk bed above her with her head. She groaned and got out of bed.

She sighed and ran a hand through her messy jet black locks. She walked over to her dresser and pulled her drawer open.

Inside were her normal clothes, but also a white cloth. Curiously, she gripped onto the cloth with her hand, and lifted it.

A gun with a black barrel stood underneath. It was the gun Aisha saw in her dream. She gasped quietly and dropped the sheet of white onto the ground.

Her hands shook as she reached for it. It didn't have the numbers on the side. She sighed in relief.

What's this doing here? She thought, then turned the gun over. She scanned it with her deep ocean blue hues. There was a full round of ammo and the words 'X900902' carved into the other side.

Aisha's vanes pumped with adrenaline and she screamed and dropped it. It landed on a broken floorboard and went off, making a loud popping noise.

Aisha sunk to her knees against her dresser, trembling. Kai burst into the room, and held his knife he had. He sighed out of relief, and walked over to me. Next to Aisha, he saw the gun.

"Aisha, what's that? Is that a pistol? I haven't seen one since... God like 2085?" he asked. "Why do you have it?" he asked, seeing Aisha's state. She ignored all the questions. She buried her face in her knees. He put down the knife gently, and kneed to hug her.
