Chapter 2- The Reset

"Everything comes to an end. That's what everyone says, but what happens at the end? Will it be the start of another? Or it will just let the nothingness consume it without giving a fight."- C.K

Present day

The sound of busy streets welcomed me, the sound of the cars, the people and the minimal sound of birds chirping. That was the sound I hear everyday, New York is such a busy city.

I left my bed and immediately freshened up. If there was something that I was missing in this world, it is food. I basically don't eat that I forgot the taste of bread as it runs down my throat. I can't remember the last time I ate, maybe a thousand years ago.

Yes, earth, the place where I landed thousands of years ago is much younger than the past planets giving me more time to spend it in here until it explodes into pieces as if it never existed.

I entered the building called a school. It's really funny that I go to school as a normal 19 year old girl, well in fact I am older than that.

I witnessed the growth of the civilization, starting from nothing until we came to our present situation.

From living in caves and hunting for food, to living in large buildings and buying food from the counter. Life had changed a lot.

Education, politics, the society and everything had changed in a short span of time.

Students started to learn about algebra, calculus, and chemistry.

Politicians started to think of the government as a bank that would supply all their wants, that they forgot what a true politician should be - someone who is willing to serve the country and the people.

The society had been poisoned by the uprising disease we have today, much more deadly than cancer that it creeps into someone's mind and makes him want to kill himself. Yes, discriminations, judgments, diversity. That is the biggest problem we face today, we tend to sort ourselves from others based on skin color, state of origin, sexual preference and bank accounts, that we forgot that we all all humans and we must be the ones protecting each other not killing each other.

The only goal of one specie is to survive the cruel way of life. Everything comes to an end and all must turn back to what they are made from.

People tend to rediscover things that had been long forgotten. Yes, everything around us is just a recurrence from the past. The discovery of internet, computer, gadgets, light, and all machines had been discovered a long time ago.

I had witnessed all of those things with my very own eyes and I am scared for what may happen if they reached the nirvana of the ongoing cycle, where there is nothing more left to discover then everything will be rediscovered again in the future.

The present day is much worst than the last rediscoveries that had occurred, the people in the present day had evolved into something else, their rate of evolution is growing at a very fast rate and it cannot be stopped. A good example of this is when we observe the youth today, they are different compares to the past generations in so many ways.

"Hey! Party at my house tonight." Carl Levin shouted as I moved to my locker to gather my things.

"Sorry, I can't come." I answered as I picked my books and placed it in my bag.

"Aw come on, you always say that, just this time please." He pleaded with his puppy eyes.

"I can't, I have to finish my thesis."

"I know you finished it last last week, you can't fool me, you work faster than a computer, in fact you can be better than Einstein."

"Cut it out Carl, I don't want to be compared to Einstein."

"Wait, let me rephrase that, I know you finished your thesis last week, you're Ally, just Ally."

"Just Ally huh? Oh well, I need to study for the exams."

"What the hell?! Exams are just finished, don't tell me you'll study this early for the next semester? Do you really hate going to parties that much?"

"Yeah, I hated it, you should have known, you're my best friend."

"Please just this time, I want this as an early birthday gift from you please."

"Oh right, it's your birthday. Shall I say happ-"

"It'll be happy if you come you know."

I was debating on myself but trying won't hurt right?

"Okay, but just this time okay."

"Yeah, at last it should be the best party you'll ever be in..oh I mean the first party you'll ever be in."

I hated parties, I hated the smell of sweaty bodies, cigarettes and alcohol lingering in the air. I am a party pooper I know, but it just reminds me that I can't live a normal life like the people in the party.

I am so much different from them, I can't eat or even have fun. I just wanted to stay anonymous for my entire life and live as a hobit but it wasn't that easy for the 21st century. Everything happening a second ago can be reported and aired on TV, newspapers, tabloids, and the social media.

Information spreads like bacteria and I cant risk into that. The last one who did ended up being a specimen of the government and I am afraid of that.

There had been 3 people or should I say original species like me and one of them were caught lately and brought to the secret organization that made him a specimen.

Yes, we landed on earth and went separate ways. I landed in a continent called America and the others were spread across the earth where they raised their descendants.

The only difference is that I can't have a descendant. We, the ancestor species had a designated mate that would be the one and only person we are connected with. The connection is so strong that after one dies or stays away from each other, one wouldn't live a normal life and would suffer a life like mine.

I had lost him the day I left the last planet and I would forever live in this curse of immortality until the day I will find him but that would be the most impossible thing that could happen. The death of him is the death of me.

I may be alive physically but my mind, heart, mind and soul was dead that moment I watched the planet explode and had my worst nightmare.

The reset
