Dawn of the heroes

Chapter IX - Night (2)

Alia: I had seen Nero was aiming for something that I could not had seen at all. He was mumbling about a girl in white. When we came closer we had seen that he was aiming for nothing. Maybe the stress took out his mind.
The small piece of paper changed my mind.

'This place is haunted. Footsteps, door bangings, shadows and ilusions.' He said while studying the small ticket.

And thus our plan took birth: We were about to investigate all these three places. There was nothing wrong with the police station. Turning back to hospital we had seen a light on the second floor.

'That's not right.' Nero said.

'Why are you saying that?'

'Because I had never searched the second floor.' he replied.

Nero: We walked into the hospital and turned on the light on the hall. That white color was hurting my eyes. Each step was taking an eternity. After a very long time we managed  to get in front of the door. We entered slowly.
The room was lighted by a candle. Through the window, the reflection of an old man could had been noticed. I approached him slowly with the gun in my hands, ready to shoot at any sudden move.

'Hold still'. I said.

'So are you going to shoot me?' His voice was familiar.

'Who are you?' I asked.

'Firstly you have to introduce yourself.' He continued with calm.

'Are you human or not?'

'Put that gun down, son.' He said with that familiar voice.

'Last time I ask. Who are you?' I yelled at him.

'Nero...put that gun down.'

Then  I had realised the truth and turned his chair. It was the same as I had seen him last time.

'That's not possible.' I said. '

Why? It's not like I am dead or something like that.' The old man laughed at me.

'Grandpa, you died like ten years ago.' I said looking at him suspicious.

My grandfather kept laughing and said that this war doesn't limit just to those creatures. I asked him what was that supposed to mean. He just looked at me and handed me over a scroll.

'Read them and repair your mistake.' He said and the candle's light went gone.

Alex: I was looking at the hopital and I was waiting for them to come back. The sneezing of thoe two made me remember the beautiful days before this nightmare.
                                                                       ***
I remember our last trip, just before this plague started to spread over the world. We were visiting a mountain. The sun was shining bright and perfect in her blonde hair. I remember the happiness from her blue eyes. It was just me and her...how beautiful.
I noticed how the light from the second floor is turning off and how Nero and Alia were getting out of hospital.

Nero: As soon as we went out of that chamber the cold air of the outside hitted our faces. I had seen Alex rising up on his feet and heading to us. In the next second he stopped and a giant wave of heat threw me and Alia.

Alex: The building exploded. And not in a normal way. For me it looked like a giant phoenix was getting out of the hospital. It was something magnificent. The next day I was going to find out that the morgue and police station exploded as well.
Nero and Alia were both unconscious. Danny and Adrian helped me to take them in a safe place.
