Lost Worlds

Chapter 3: We are you

Second period seem to pass by very quickly, nothing eventful happens. That is of course until his third period comes around.
In Jason's third period there was a particular event that didn't sit in with him very well. There was a guy named Bill. Now bill doesn't seem to like Jason very much.
Whenever Jason would speak Bill had to insult him. If Jason tried to ignore Bill, Bill would get in his face. Although Jason can normally can control his emotions something about this particular guy slowly began to enrage him.
About half away into third period Jason has had enough.

If this son of a bitch gets in my face one more god damn time, I'm going to knock some teeth loose.... Then again it could cause a whole mess of problems if I actually do hit him. ----

For a few moments though Bill seemed to relax his antics, which allowed Jason to also relax. This was of course till Jason decided to speak, which proved to be a mistake.

"Hey uh I can't see the board very well. Mind scooting to the right?"

Bill noticed this and decided to respond. Bill shouldn't have responded to a comment that wasn't for him.

"Whoa there boi. So your asking a white boy to move in his own country, but you can't even stay in yours. Who do you think you are"

Bills going to die.

"I KNOW I'm a third generation American. I didn't come from somewhere, I was born here idiot. I don't understand why you have to make this about race anyways, we're all Americans. Also if you truly believe your so great then why even fuck with me? Are you asking for a bad fucking time? Because that I can give to you"

Bill didn't like that. Bills face began to turn red as he was embarrassed, despite the fact that no one in the class was laughing and seemed to be ignoring them. Veins began popping from the top of Bills head and as he pointed his finger at Jason he said

"I know I'm great because I'm white and there is not a damn thing you can do about it"

Ya know. I hate Bill. I might regret this later, but Bill. I'm not going to stop swinging till someone yanks me off, and that's IF your having a lucky day.

Jason slowly gets up, and Bill follows. Both of them look eye to eye and this is when the class begins to notice. Seeing his chance is slipping Jason takes a swing, narrowly missing Bill's jaw. 

"You think you can hit me? You could never..."

And as Bill is speaking Jason clocks him in the temple with a right hook.

What is up with this kid, I'm not gonna wait for the villain to monologue before attacking. Maybe villain is to lame of a cliche... douche bag? Douche bag.

The teacher turns seeing Bill clutching his face and the students begin to chant.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Well fuck it I'm invested now.

Jason throws a straight but Bill narrowly slips out of it, following it up with a punch to Jason's gut.

Wow this kids weak.

Jason then rotates his elbow right colliding with the other side of Bills head, causing Bill to stagger a bit. Out of the corner of Jason's eye he notices the teacher walking over.

"That's enough you to, what is wrong with you? Honors students should not..."

Jason isn't listening, the rage has built up to much. He turns his body and bends a little preparing for a kick. He lets his leg fly, hitting Bill in the jaw , causing blood to fly all over two students who were sitting behind his seat.

"Jason! You need to stop now"

Jason's not done with him just yet. He gets on top of Bill and starts pounding him. Left cross. Right cross. Right cross. Right cross. Left cross. Right cross. Suddenly Jason feels his body thrown back but his vision is tunneled.

"Kill. Kill. Kill."

A loud ringing begins to sound in his ears, numbing him from the sounds around him. Any call to him isn't heard. He is so focus on one thing. To dish out as much pain as he can. This is until he feels a light warmth touching his back, as something whispers to him.

"Yes, push out all your anger onto him. Punish him for what he's done. He's a bad person, and your a good person who needs justice."

As Jason realizes what he's done everything comes back at once, the pain in his hands. The distant screaming of women in the classroom horrified at what he's done. The chanting of a few and the disgust of the rest. It all comes to him, and as Jason looks down he sees Bills face battered and bruised, full of blood and motionless.

Was that my voice? Why did I do this?! Why would I think that?

Horrified Jason gets up and try's to leave the class room but two security guards block his way.
"You know we can't just let you leave right? Now Jason. Just stay calm alright? Come with us"

"You can take them on, you can kill them. There trying to punish you for seeking justice."

No! I will not hurt them! They are only doing there job, get out of my head!

"Your just afraid of your true nature.
Harness your anger and KILL"

"NO! I WONT KILL THEM"

A look of terror flashes by the security guards faces making them stagger back ever so slightly. Jason notices this, causing him to realize he spoke out loud.

How much did they hear?! God dammit your ruining everything.

Jason can't stand the confusion any longer. He pushes past on the the security guards, bolting down the hallway. He runs and runs and runs till he can't breathe and collapses. Out of breath he looks around and realizes he has no idea where he is.

Where am I?

"Who knows but did you have to run THIS far"

Why are you in my head. Get out you bastard.

"Whoa there buddy O'L pal! Now why would you want that? You didn't seem to mind me being here before."

Being here before? You weren't "Here". I don't get it. What do you mean. What are you?

"I am you, I'm not some different entity Jason. We are one.... let's see. In a way you can understand, think of me as your power, and you've simply have yet to access me"

My power... but you made me..

"I never made you do a thing, I can't make you do a thing. I had the same desire as you, were in sync. Only thing is since you awoke me I began to speak. But I've always shared your emotions, we are one"

So your a parasite? You live inside of me? Against my will? I don't understand this is just so damn confusing.

"Jason calm down. Think. I didn't enter you I was BORN with you. I am not sure why either. But what I do know is there's quite a bit we can do together. We can work together, all I want is to keep YOU safe, because keeping you safe keeps me safe."

Right... Well for starters don't repeat my emotions to me, which I am borderline positive you amplify these emotions to me. You can't just support me killing someone who bullied me just... let me get my head straight. I'm gonna lie down for awhile...
Which how does this work? Can you look out for me?

"I don't need to sleep the same way you do. Rest, I won't wake you unless you need to. Sleep well... what should I call you. I feel like you and I should have names for each other."

You can call me Jason.... however I know I need to think of a name for you. Sit tight, and goodnight.

As Jason starts slowly descending into unconsciousness his memories of today flash across his dreams. Over. And over. And over. Till finally he is able to interact with the dream itself.
