A Second Journey

Chapter 6

-When I Awoke-

"Ooh, where am I?" My head hurt badly as I remembered what happened and where I was while I was occupied unbuckling the seatbelt.

Suddenly, I heard yelling and shrieking in the distance then a big bang. As I finally realized where I was, I freaked. It actually worked...

When I surrendered to unbuckling the seatbelt with my own hands, I pulled out my trusty knife from my back pocket and ripped through the lock of the seatbelt, making sure I could get back in when I came back from my mission. As soon as I was free, I remembered the address of my great-grandmothers house.

I looked at the screen to see where I was. Sofia, Bulgaria. Perfect. Shortly, the address came to me- 91592 Sofia, Bulgaria.

I ran towards where the sounds I once heard before came from. It was dark and dry. The air was full of brown dust clouds, and I could barely see through them. A very short distance away, I heard the same noises, and at almost the same exact pitch. It felt like my stomach would turn or had turned, but whatever to do to save my great-grandfather.

I ran more for about 5 minutes and found a tall building with scattered windows standing in front of me. I remember my great-grandmother telling me that they lived in an apartment building about 3 stories high. This was that building. It had the address. I just had to recall the floor that they had lived on-or do live on.

Floor level 06. Apartment number 73.

"Got it!" I loudly whispered to myself as I sneaked into the half-open door.

I ran up the curved and dented dark colored wooden steps not being surprised that this building didn't have an elevator. I wonder if any other buildings have elevators. Every floor number I came to, I checked if it was number 06. Yes, I can count. I just am making sure of myself, I don't want to land on the wrong floor and waste my time.

As soon as I came up to level 06, I looked at the plaque beside the one that said the level and found where apartment numbers 60-75 are.

East, then south at the next turn.

I ran at what felt like the speed of light. I did as what my track coach told me and angled myself as I turned the corner. Man! That is easier! At least I didn't fall like some other times I have.

I dead stopped in the middle of the hallway, almost to where I lost my balance, when the number 73 came into my peripheral vision. I turned to my right and banged on the door loudly. The door opened and the young man was surprised to see me standing there, not knowing a clue of who I am.
