Our Souls Will Be Stronger Than Stone (SIUA BOOK 2)

Chapter 6. True RESET

Shelby had an open hand towards Red.

"We can fuse. That should allow us to perform a true RESET and fix everything."

She said, determined. Red stepped back.

"Even so, how do we even know everything is going to work? For all we know, everything's just going to be different if we do this!"

He said, and I could notice a small tint of blue on his shoulder, but it quickly disappeared as soon I saw it. Shelby's look firmed.

"We have no other choice Red! Besides, if X wakes up again, then we'll have no other options! We need to take this opportunity!"

She said. Ross, or rather, the still possessed Ross picked up X by the collar, and walked over to a hole on the ground.

"If you guys are going to do something, I'd suggest you hurry. This world isn't going to stay together much longer."

He said, dropping the still unconscious X out of the universe and into the void. Red looked panicked, and we all had pleading looks on our faces. Shelby got off the ground and grabbed Red's arm.

"Please Red! I know this is risky, but we need to fix everything RIGHT NOW!"

She... Shelby just yelled. She never yells. Red sighed.

"Fine. But if this fails, I am LITERALLY going to kill you."

He said, grabbing her arm. Shelby grinned. The two summoned their souls and started to glow red. Shelby had a lighter red while Red was darker. The wind started to howl as the two started to rise into the air. At some point Shelby summoned her RESET button. The two pressed it at the same time, and everything started to dissolve. I could feel my soul starting to fade away. I sighed. I guess this was the end.

POV switch

Shelby woke up in her bedroom. She knew it was hers by the pink curtains and the red sheets. What she didn't know about was the journal with the big red heart on it. Curious, she grabbed it, and started to read. It was her handwriting, but she couldn't quite remember when she wrote those words.

4/26

That was today's date.

I decided to meet up with Cory today. We were going to talk about the school trip to Mount Ebbot today. We decided to be in the same group. However, Austin kept asking me to be in his group. I still stayed with Cory!

A car almost hit us today! I was so scared, however Cory protected me! He didn't look scared at all! Probably cause I can't see his face due to that mask he wears.

Shelby winced. The school trip... She looked at her clock. 6 AM. School started in an hour! Shelby fell right out of bed, only to find she already had her school clothes on. Light blue t-shirt under a white tank top, dark blue skirt, purple sneakers, white ankle socks, and of course, her signature white crown on top of her head. She grabbed a small brush and brushed her hair as she grabbed the notebook. 

"Could it be possible? What if this is from the future?"

She asked herself. She sighed. Shelby supposed it'd be better if she just found out on her own. Heading downstairs, she found both her mom and dad at work again. Her cousin was supposed to be here... 

"Hey where's Ross?"

She asked aloud, walking down the hallway to the guestroom. Opening the door, she found her cousin asleep as a rock. Shelby smiled, before grabbing her backpack, and heading out the door.
