Revealed (Book 2)

Different Endings

I cautiously stepped forward bringing in all the pressure that has been given to me in this situation. It was hard to breathe here as the air started becoming heavy.

I couldn't pay attention to my other classmates as I was dragged into this situation. I knew this wasn't the only way to defeat Xai but I felt like it would be the most efficient for now.

I took more steps forward to him and his smile grew wider and wider giving the others the feeling of edge as I finally faced him with a stern look in my eyes.

I didn't want to glance at them. The guilt that has been brought to me would worsen as I hear their protests and their cries for me to stop.

Before I opened my mouth to speak to Xai a hand pulled my arm almost causing me to topple over to the ground of this weird place. I looked to see the saddening eyes of my classmates staring at me as Syd was pulling my arm.

"Please...! Don't do this! Don't give up" Shaine cried. I stared at them holding back the tears. I've seen what was going to happen. I knew what would happen to everyone and I didn't want that to happen again.

"Please Iya, don't fall for his tricks! He'll use you the same way he did with Syd!" Glor yelled as she carried Kaye's unconscious body.

The vivid memory of Kaye stabbing Seth because of her being mind controlled still echoed through my mind. I didn't want that to happen to me but I wanted to save my friends from the disaster.

"I'm sorry for everything. I-I-I didn't know better and I was controlled to do all this!" Syd yelled as his knees fell to the dimension's floor. "Don't make the same mistake as me, please!"

I was in the verge of breaking down of tears but I shook my head and let my arm go from their reach. "I'm sorry. I've made my choice. I have to do this for you guys. I have to." I looked away and took more steps forward as their protests echoed louder and louder.

"You've made a wonderful decision, it's about time." Xai grinned as the magic box appeared in his hands. We exchange eye contact and his eyes reflected the purple and blue found in the dimensions.

I reach my hand in the box and phased my hand through it. I felt pain and some sort of energy run through the veins of my hand causing me to squint and sweat in pain. "I-I'm doing this...to...protect them..."

"Good choice." Xai winked before all I could see is white.

I only saw white for a couple of minutes before being transported back to the classroom, the iconic 6-Ruiz classroom. I glanced around the room to find the date plastered on the blackboard "July 27, 2018" I muttered before running to the boys cr before the bell had rung.

I caught Syd entering the door with a pair of scissors in hand, he was going to kill Loualdy! And as I've caught on from being in the future his eyes gleamed a dark blue.

I pull on his sling bag and tackled him to the ground with thankfully no one noticing. He glared at me as the dark blue in his eyes grew more intense and intense.

"Don't listen to Xai! No matter what he's doing to you, fight back!" I yelled. His eyes cleared up and he started to cry. He didn't say a word to me but he just cried on my shoulder. Comforting isn't easy for me but I tried my best to comfort him from the terrifying mind control which Xai brought to him.

The rest of the school year went normal and happy. Even without Xai in the way we still had many ups and downs that brought us together as one big happy family. We graduated and we were off to the new chapter of our lives....High School.

The first semester was pretty standard for students adapting to the changes on High School but it didn't stop 6-Ruiz for staying closer even with our own new classmates.

Until the worse happened...

I was walking back home from a long and tiring day at school. The rain was pouring heavily yet I sheltered myself under my umbrella. The street was cold and dark, my neighborhood didn't install streetlights in places where they needed to be.

I stopped in place as I felt eyes watching me. I glanced worriedly side to side while gripping tightly on my umbrella. I had almost forgotten about him. And I was deathly afraid because no one else remembers him.

"...X-Xai..." I muttered under my breath as I dropped my umbrella in fear. He stared at me with the look of anger in his eyes but still had a playful grin plastered on his face.

"I can't believe you actually persuaded him to stop to help your happily ever after!" He smiled walking towards me while looking at me with the look of revenge in his face. "You actually believed it would stop everything!"

I was getting soaked in the rain listening to his torments as I recalled all my mistakes. I didn't answer him but I just stared at the ground in shame.

"No one remembers what happened! Only you and I know what truly happened! And no one will be able to help you. No one." He continued to torment me as I felt my tears mix in with the saddening rain.

He lifted his hands up revealing a blue-ish blob of magic. "Remember our deal? You'd fix the happenings of July 27, 2018 with a price. That price would be you being in my control."

"What are you going to do?!" I snapped as I felt my tears fall down my face like a waterfall. He looked at me still with a grin on his face.

He chuckled as he aimed his palm to my forehead as I hear his final words before being blasted by a blue light.

"I'm going to the same thing as what I did with your class last year with everyone in your level this year."

— — — —

I heard cries of despair and fear echo through the room. I would've broken down in guilt but I stood there numb and apathetic.

I didn't feel anything, all I felt was power surging through my hands and my head. I looked at the dead bodies of those innocent girls who had nothing to do with the mess.

So this is what he planned to do.

This was the same thing he did to my class. He made us suffer. He made us agonize.

And now I've become his puppet ready to do the same thing he did to us years ago.
