Gone Today [On-hold]

On the Search, to Utopia, to Dystopia

We heard someone coming. Levi pushed me towards the wall. We saw those aliens were trying to find someone. They were so much. "Let's go out." Levi whispered.

"Where?" I asked.

"Just...out of this place...they are finding us." He murmured.

"But..." I mumbled to myself.

"Come on! Hurry up!" Levi held me by my hand and started running. It felt so good.

"Where are we going?" I questioned again.

"Stop acting like a child!" He turned his face towards me. He was getting red and sweaty.

Suddenly, I fell down. "I'm tired!" I cried.

Levi sat down with me. "Ohh! But you don't have to lose hope! You have to face this if you want to go back!"

"How will you take me home?" I raised my head and asked.

"We'll find a way. Hurry up, they're behind us!" He helped me stand up.

We kept running till we reached out. I don't know if we were out of the place, but there was no sign of chains here. It had boiling water surrounded with red flames. Everywhere I looked were thousands of small fires. The sound was like that of a jet engine. My eyes got watery and my mouth was wide open. I turned my face towards Levi. He was the same. His light-blue eyes shone brightly.

I took a deep sigh and tightly tied my arms on my chest.

We were all tired. And I had been crying for long. I missed Kaylee so much. I wanted to tell her that I loved her. I wanted to touch her. I wanted her to be mine.

"How can we go there?" Olivia coughed and asked.

"Of course we can. We just don't have to lose hope." Zac answered her with a smile.

Olivia smiled back. "You don't look good like this. Look at your eye, its swollen." She smirked.

"Ooo..." Everyone else hooted.

"Um, uhm." Zac cleared his throat.

Olivia pulled his cheeks. "Aww..." She kissed him on his cheek.

Zac got red. "Guys, let's start moving now...we have to find Kaylee."

Jake smirked. So did I. "Don't worry bro, Kaylee will do the same with you one day..." Jake patted on my back.

I shook my head. "What? How do you...." I looked away.

"Best friends always do!" Olivia came towards me with an encouraging smile.

"Alright...so let's carry on?" I smiled.

We carried on our journey. We had no idea where God had to take us.

We heard the aliens coming and speaking their weird language. Levi held me by my hand and ran towards the wall. We hid behind some boards and garbage tanks. Wow. Whatever it was. It was an advanced place.

"Shh...don't speak." Levi informed me.

"Okay, sir." I smiled.

"Sir?" He raised his eyebrows.

I looked down.

5 minutes passed by. The aliens went away. I pushed the huge board off myslef and was surprised to see what was writtem on it. The board said:

                               "Ha laku Giberland"

What? Did 'Ha laku Giberland' make any sense?

"Hey Levi! See this!" I called him. I called him with his name for the first time!

"Ha laku Giberland? What's it?" He laughed.

"I don't know. Maybe 'Giberland' is the name of this place?" I pointed out.

"Yeah.....you're right. Of course you're right. 'Land' is a place that is not covered by water. Hmm...so this is 'Giberland'.." He nodded thoughtfully.

So, Welcome To Giberland!
