Three tasks. (NovaHD)

Part 5.

 

While the commotion was still on I scurried behind the crowd of children.

Wait.

Priority number 3, you have to perfectly blend in with any multitude.

This is the memory from before, I think.

I smirked at my previous learned lessons and passed through all the children. I sneakily went pass the elder in charge of us, towards the door of freedom. Everyone that noticed me began to cheer for me making a commotion in the class room's hallway. The elder finally noticing and screaming at me to come back. It didn't matter to me though. I was long gone, however, imagining their faces of anger made me giggle. I stopped running, panting. I had made it to a tiny clear in the middle of the gigantic forest. Tired I plopped on the floor admiring the sky and shades the threes made everywhere. I didn't want to go back. But I knew they were going to look after me, and it's not like I know where could I scape to, so there is no point in escaping, really.

Is this...?

Although all the problems that were going through my head I felt relaxed and lied down on the grass. This was heaven. And as a good heaven of mine, it got ruined.

Yeah... It's that night when I first tried to escape. How could I forget that?

The rustle of bushes made me go in high alert. I was ready to run or fight whoever came in my clear but it wasn't an adult, it was a child just like me, maybe older. And as soon as he saw me with my fists up, took a few steps back with his eyes wide. I relaxed again but didn't took my eyes off him.

I know this boy... but who...? This is so frustrating.

"Who are you?" I asked. He didn't respond obviously still scared. I sighted and fully calmed down seeing that he wasn't a treat. I tried to smile, maybe he was like me and doesn't know it either.

The pieces of memories vanished one by one, like mirror pieces braking apart in front of my eyes. I don't know why, but my mind kept thinking of desperately grab those fragments. But now the pieces didn't show the colors from before, they showed me, and I could see my arms and hands again trying to grab those moments of my almost forgotten past, not wanting to lose them even when I knew they were gone now. I stumbled to the floor, looking at my hands, they were fading in the dark.

"The heck is going on?" I whispered, trying to figure out what this all meant. But the more I thought about it the more my head hurt, it was almost unbearable. I stood up in the dark. The reason why, not really clear to me yet.

Just then, a bright light illuminated every corner of my vision. It was too bright, to the point where I had to squeeze my eyes and try to protect them with my hands so I could see, turning my action in vein as the light shut itself with a wave of air, knocking me to the ground. An excruciating pain on the back of my neck, the darkness finally consuming my troubled mind once again. The pain from my nape trespassing to all my limbs, the burning sensation only fading away slightly, my mind being too focused screaming to be paying attention to the pain.

And when I thought that it would consume me whole, the fragments formed again around me and my body vanished, the pain gone with it. I inhaled big out of relief for a moment. My mind drifting again in the once interrupted dream.

 "So... hey." I said and waved. At least this time he gave me a tiny smile and waved back. Progress.

"Come sit if you want, I don't mind." I said and plopped back down to the grass. Him following my action slowly, all right he still doesn't trust me.
