FOREVER IN ABYSS

CHAPTER 29 - INFILTRATED

Yuri heaved and sighed. He felt warm and light. The wind was bringing him towards the center of the earth.

He could see the beautiful sceneries under his feet. It was as if there was nothing wrong. The streets of Tokyo were pretty quiet. Then, he remembered why it was quiet. The people were afraid to go out. They were afraid to go about their usual work. Ever since the attacks and bodies were seen everywhere, people didn’t want to go out of their houses and leave their families.

Yuri felt sad. He saw the jimusho, his school, Tokyo dome and all of those places which are dear to him.

The wind continued to move him, upwards. He could see Japan now, then all the waters that surrounds it.

He felt a cold air embrace him and realized that he was actually passing a huge cirrus cloud. It was smooth but it moved away from his hands.

Then, he felt a warmer air surround him. He felt air covered his body. As he was moved upwards, he could feel the air surrounding him was squeezed but it seemed to contract as if protecting his body. He was passing the layers of sphere protecting the earth.

He then felt the air protecting him stumbled as it lost gravity.

Yuri’s heart quickened its pace and his breath hitched as he admired his surrounding. He had a clear view of the universe.

He tried to touch the darkness that surrounded him but the air that protects his body suppressed his movements, as if stopping him as it could burst like a bubble with any unnecessary movement.

Yuri felt the air bring him to the center of the universe. Then, he saw it. Orion with its gleaming belt and arrow of fear bowed down to the Taurean bull. The Taurus did the same and together their stars united to form a gigantic human.

Suddenly, the scorpion quietly crawl towards the constellation of the human form by the two former constellations.

The scorpion raised its deadly tail and sparks of stars went out of it. The sparks grew bigger and bigger feeding on the light of the gigantic constellation.

The constellation seemed to withdraw from the battle of light. It scattered and was eaten by the scorpion which stars got brighter and brighter than any that Yuri had seen.

The scorpion, upon feeding on the human turned its head to Yuri.

It opened its mouth…

“Ahhh!” Yuri woke up heaving. He clutched his chest.

“Chinen-kun…” Kei tapped Yuri in the cheeks. “Another dream?” there was concern in the older Jump’s eyes.

Yuri nodded.

“What is it this time?” Kei asked and slumped on the floor.

The vampires were not on their safe house, they were trying to track down the vampires that attacked Shizuka and Ryosuke.
