Juncture Of Regrets

Chapter Four: The Void

Black. Darkness. That's all I could see. The never-ending darkness gave my mind calmness since now I don't have to worry about anything. I can just drift through the void. When I care about someone, I really care. When I love, I love with all my heart but they just play with my heart.

A voice came from above. It sounded demonic, " Alexander did you fulfil your desires. Desires allow people to wallow in their most idealized, impossible dreams. Free from reality. "The mysterious anonymous creature talking to me started to laugh. His laughter was a laughter you expect Satan to have.

"I am going to put you back into that world but you have stopped the other time traveller and the last one stand won't be erased from time." He started to laughed again.

"I don't care anymore. Just erase me."

He responded, "It's not just your choice anymore." I heard a click and Alisha was standing in the void with me.

"It's not that simple anymore. I told her everything and do you think your mysterious girl would leave her hero to suffer like this."

Alisha bellowed, "Alex this time, I am going to save you!"

A massive white light appeared and I was in front of Elise again.

Elise ran at me. I dodged her and stared at my hand.

"Alex, you disappeared and then you are back." She tried to hug me but I dodged that too.

My phone rang. It was Alisha.

"Alex check your phone now. Do it!" Alisha told me in a rush.

I opened my phone and I saw it.

Breaking news. Russia is starting a nuclear war with the whole world.

"Alisha, how? There were no signs of this beforehand isn't this just going too fast."

"Alex, it's the other time traveller. That creature that spoke to us, told me and you both have a power to influence the world in different ways than normal people. I am coming to pick you up."

This was it. If I win the world wouldn't be in a nuclear word for a while and if I lose then the world would be destroyed. No pressure, right?

Alisha drove me home, and we tried to come up with plans on finding him but we didn't find anything.

Next day in school. I avoided Elise all day. Klaus tried to speak to me about a game but I didn't have time for that. The fate of the world was in my hands and I never knew. I was too busy making sure Elise doesn't break my heart again and to stop all the bad but deep down I was just trying to fulfil my desires of revenge on Elise. All of this was happening so fast. I was a nobody who accidently time travelled. At lunch, Thomas came in and his arms was around Skylar. They seem very lovely and close. Thomas exclaimed happily, " Me and Skylar are dating guys!" He seemed happy. At least I changed something and it turned out for the better.

Skylar wasn't even in our original timeline. I never knew her. She just randomly joined our school and now is dating one of my best friends. She wasn't in my timeline... Wait why did she randomly joined our school. I know changing the past means the future changes and something new happens that never did before like me meeting Alisha but that was because we stayed out later that day since Rufus wasn't annoyed at me like he was in the original timeline. Why is she here? Why was slowly getting closer and closer to my me. Dating my best friend means being able to hang out with me without having worry about if I like you or not since, I would play nice with you since you are dating my best friend plus it wouldn't make me think anything was evil about you or suspicious about you since you are dating my best friend.

It couldn't be? Or can it? It wouldn't be impossible. Even so how would she caused Russia to start a nuclear war. These thoughts ran around my head like a bullet.

This whole situation was making paranoid.

Skylar skulk up to me and spoke in a soft tone, "Hey, Alex how was walking with Elise yesterday? I heard I didn't go too well." I didn't even notice that she was there until she spoke.

It couldn't be. She couldn't be the other time traveller. What reasons would she have to stalk me like this? To find out who I am and to make sure, she is able to kill me when the time is right? This was just confusing. Everything was speeding up.

The pressure of it all was weighing on me. I hated myself. I was using this gifted for my own uses without knowing its true propose. To stop her or him. If it's her, Skylar, then I have to stop her.

I didn't want to go up to her and try to kill her without knowing that it's her.

"How did you know?" I was being cautious.

"Elise told me." She laughed.

I never knew they were close.

"Really?"

Thomas came over as I said it. Thomas lifted his buffy arms and puts around Skylar and called out, "Babe , what are you guys talking about?"

I shrugged.

Skylar and Thomas ran away. Just before they left, Skylar turned her head around and winked at me.

Why? Why was I chosen for this?

The creature/weird being, he said that I have a power. What is it. The void where he was and where I fell through is a mystery like Skylar. How did they start dating? Who was she?

After school, I went to Alisha house. It was a mansion. It was far away from the town that I grew up with. The drive was at least a two hours away. She claimed that she has a mini apartment in London. Her mansion was ginormous. The size of a dinosaur and it all belonged to her family. Her bed room was the size of the master bedroom in my house times 2.

Alisha was laying on the floor in her room while I was sitting on her bed.

"This is too confusing Alisha", I said to her, "I am the chosen one. This is my mission. It all up to me."

"Alex , I am here to help you."

"This is my MISSION! It belongs to me. And this ability should be able to be summoned by me!" I didn't realise but I started shouting.

Alisha came up to me and slapped me. There was crystal tears dripping down from her face.

"Alex , this is our mission now. Don't do it alone. I can't lose you."

I hugged her. The room was cold. SLAM! The window slammed shut. I turned around to see a green wind surging into me. Without realising it , I shut the window using this wind power.

"What the...."

"Alex, you used your powers. This is it."

I lifted my hand and the wind starting to flow around my hand like water flowing down a river.

I started laugh. "now I need to find the other time traveller."

"This is the power of the void", a voice fell into my head. It sounded familiar, "The power of the Wind of time. Each world is made up with the five elements. Fire. Water. Wind. Earth. Lastly Lightening. You are the wind. There were others before you and others that are alive but they only one you need to concern yourself with is Layla. She knows everything about you. Here is a hint, she renamed herself with something to do with your powers."

I spoke and the creature spoke at the same time, "THIS IS THE POWER OF THE VOID!" The wind rushed through me. I could feel the wind. I wasted enough time on Elise and everyone but now I need to put that aside and stop this war. This was too much for a kid to have as a burden but I have no other choice. This was it. My destiny has been chosen and I have to fulfil it.
