Area Code 666

PROLOGUE

I entered a dark room filled with little square-like flashes of light.

Those revealed the different faces I never saw before. Dark and deep black eyes filled with desperation. I heard everyone's hands, clicking so hard on their tables. Wanting to prevail each of them.

I roam around the room and try to find the guy who made me here.

"You're badass dude. You ain't playing fair!"

I stopped and stood as I heard someone shouting at the other.

"No, I didn't dude. Just accept that it's not your lucky day."

That familiar voice...

It's him!

I heard the screaching sounds of chairs on the rough concrete floor.

As I walk through and follow those noises of a group of men, I bumped my head out of unconsciousness.

"Ouch", I whispered and continued to follow the noises.

I saw him trying to stand on his chair with his face looking so enjoyed.

Oh, I know.

He cheated, again.

I don't know how he earns stuff by just playing in this room all day. But one thing I really need to know is why am I here?

"Lance", I said with a tone of seriousness.

This is no joke. What am I supposed to do here? To watch him cheat other players and earn hundred bucks?

I'm getting sick of his games.

"Chill, Brie. We'll have a trip tomorrow so pack your things up. It's gonna be fun, I promise."

Fun, eh? If I only knew, you meant the word 'fun' to be a 'nightmare'.

"Right. A trip, again? I remember the last time we had a 'trip' of yours. We were almost killed by a large turkey in Africa."

That's true. We are enjoying the ride on the zebras when we saw a turkey. He annoyed it and chases after us for about an hour.

"Trust me. This time, it's gonna be perf. We'll be going with Georgina."

"Georgina will join?"

"Uhh. Yeah?", he hesitantly answered.

"I'll go."

"Lance! Where the hell are we?"

Ugh. This place looks so plain.

This looks like a desert.

So wide. I think we're in the middle of nowhere.

"Brie. If I said we're going to have fun, I mean it."

"Where's Georg? You said she's coming, right?"

He looked back at me and smirked. That devilish smile, making my blood boil all the time.

Oh no. He lied to me! I should've asked Georgina about this. Fuck him.

"You bastard! You brought me in nowhere and you wanted me to come with you? Hell no! I'm gonna go back to Texas, Lance. I am sick of you and your games!"

I started to burst out. I'm so annoyed. Yearly, we are travelling to different countries because of the shitty arrangement our parents did.

And this is the worst place we've ever been through. Ever!

I started to walk back and leave him in the soft, sand-like textured land.

I heard him shout my name.

"Brianna! Get back here! I found it!"

"Hell no, Lance. You're getting in my nerves."

But in all of a sudden...

I felt his hands pulling out my arms.

I think my reflexes have gone wrong. It's messed up, ugh.

I felt my knees stumble as the strength of his pull has directed me to his chest.

We fell on the land and stopped for a moment.

I heard his heart beating so fast. So as with mine.

There's an awkward silence that was put between our minds.

I shall go back to my senses.

And with that, I rushed up and stood. I flicked the dirt in my clothes and started to walk back again.

"You're not going back."

His cold voice made my fur stand. His aura is different from the way he used to.

I got scared by his tone and followed him to our destination.

He's right. He already found it.

But they're just rocks. What are we gonna do with a rock shaped like an entrance?

"It's called the 'Gate of the Sun'. We're here in Bolivia, in South America."

"And why are we here?"

He held my hands for the second time. That awkward feeling starts to rush again, making my face red.

He lift it up and touched the rock.

"Close your eyes", he said.

As I close my eyes, pictures of different scenes start to flash in my mind.

"We shall bring life to the dead."

A man looking like a scientist said that in front of a tall man with glasses.

"Another administration will start! Under our new Minister, Vladimir Preston."

A man is speaking in front of the people, welcoming their new leader.

"She must not be affected for she will the savior of the next generation. She'll save the civilization of Cruxifor."

I saw woman holding a baby. A man with surgical tools cutting a portion of the baby's spine.

I opened my eyes. What are those? How did I see them?

I run after my breath. Where in this place did those scenes happened?

"I knew it. It's no hallucination of mine", he said out of nowhere.
