Game Over

Chapter Thirty-One [Yu]

Sorry for not updating last week like I said. I scratched the ending of this chapter and rewrote it. So it was late due to that and college classes and shit.

GAME OVER

Chapter 31 [Yu]

~~~~~

The moment Adam felt his fingers graze the hilt he scrunched his eyes shut tightly, waiting for something to happen. He was expecting for a memory to flood his mind like it had all the times before.

“Is anything supposed to happen?” Ross questioned. Adam squeezed his eyes tight, but nothing felt different.

Adam opened his eyes.

“Yous see anythings?”

“Hold on...let me try again,” Adam closed his eyes and let out a breath before tightening his hold on the hilt. Please, please do something, show me something.

There was silence as his friends watched. Jin spoke up, “Adam, I don’t think whatever it is you are trying to do will work. Just give it back, alright, we’ll try something else.”

Adam opened his eyes, Jin was reaching for the hilt, “W-wait, I know I can do it. It has happened before, I will see it. I just need to uh...um hold it differently. Ha...ha.”

Adam flipped the hilt around and tried to hold it in his other hand. Anything to make a vision or whatever appear. But nothing came to him. He furrowed his brow, strained his brain to think, maybe the other times something else happened to make those visions appear. What was it?

“Adam, please, I’d like to put it away now...This was a bad idea, please, I need to wrap it up.”

Jin began to plead.

“W-wait, please I promise it has happened before. I’ve seen memories that aren’t mine--”

“Adam, just give it back,” Jin leaned forward and reached for the hilt. Adam moved away. Sweat dripped down his forehead as he panicked. He needed more time.

Out of every moment, he’s never wanted to see those freaky visions more until now. Before they were frightening, to see something that wasn’t his. It was like prying into a diary that was locked with twenty locks, and yet he opened them. He didn’t know why he saw anything. They never really happened before, until he came to the AHD.

“Adam! Give it back!” Jin yelled, he scooted over and reached for the hilt. Adam tried to pull away.

“Whoas! Guys, stops!”

“Hey, calm down!” Ross yelled.

Adam fell backwards as Jin reached for the hilt. Adam felt Jin’s hand graze his hand as they touched the hilt.

~~~~~

“Jin! Jin” Adam blinked, he was outside. The sun was high into the sky and he stood in a forest of birch, the sound of a child yelling a name came to him. He looked around his surroundings and saw a young man run through the trees. Adam felt drawn to the man and followed him. The man was lean and had short, very short, black hair.

Adam ran to catch up with the man.

Ahead of them was a clearing, the grass stood tall, but through it all Adam saw a boy hidden among the grass, his blonde-brown hair the key feature in spotting him, the boy was crouched and hugged themselves tight. The boy suppressed a giggle as the man approached.

Adam glanced at the man, a smile plastered on his face, “I wonder where Jin could be. Not in the grass I bet, that would be cheating.”
