Minutes before I travelled back to my dimension, I tried to look over the tiny hole at the door of the portal, after I heard the gunshot. I saw my dad, with a bullet hole in his heart. I called out for Cassie but there was no answer. They were both on the ground, and there was a man standing behind them, his back was facing me. It was only before he turned around did I notice his face. I wanted to scream so badly when I saw him, but before I had the chance to do so, I felt my body being ripped into pieces before feeling myself reassembled.
Now I find myself in a box. It seemed more like a casket, which meant that I have been buried. I was still petrified from what happened right before I transported myself to another dimension. The images were on replay on my mind as I realized the man who shot both Cassie and my dad
Agent X was there, and he killed them.
Anger started to corrupt my mind. Just when I thought Agent X could have a side which is a caring and loving person, he had to kill that very side of his. I have never seen a man so cruel. It was as if his heart was made of stone.
Hey, Alex
What in the he--
Shut up. It's your conscience
Am I, high?
Look, you need to find a way out of here before you suffocate. You don't want to die again do you?
At least drunk me had great advice.
You're welcome by the way!
I shake my head to try rid myself of my 'conscience' and started to find a way to escape the casket. After a few failed attempts at hitting the top door, I managed to crash through. I consider myself lucky, the soil hasn't been dropped onto the casket, so I could make a clean getaway, except for the fact that there was no one inside the casket anymore, and that the top of the casket was crashed.
I made a run for any car that was fast and could get me back to my home. I need to let Cassie know that I'm still alive and breathing. Right before I got into a 1989 Dodge Charger, I heard a loud pitch screamed, which was followed by a thud. It seems I have caused Cassie, who was standing behind me, to faint. I carried her from the ground and carefully placed her on the back seat and drove back to my house. As soon after we arrived I carried her to the sofa at the living room, and made myself some coffee to wait for her to wake up.
When she came round, I tried to explain to her everything that has happened over the last three days, but I left the fact of her being my sister and Agent X being my dad. As hard as it was to believe, Cassie asked me a question, about what I told her during our dinner at Lower Hudson Valley, and I told her, "It is but it isn't as beautiful as you are," I could see tears start to run down her cheeks, and she hugged me. "I'm sorry Cass, that I made you go through all that. I promise it won't happen again." I kissed her forehead and we ended up sleeping on the sofa together
