Chapter 14 - A turning point

"You know jenny." A man dressed in a formal suit. Resembling of a noble, his face like mist. he spoke to a brown teddy bear. that floated beside him.

 

"When I heard of him and his situation. How his fate was like that of eternal damnation… I was expecting something worse?"

The disappointment, though not visible was pressuring.

Like weights on one's chest... it was heavy, like the sky had gotten darker.

 The bear turned its body to the man. "So far, this has been one of his calmest worlds. Don't yo want to see his memories?"

 

"Mm…" the man tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

 

"Ah, dreamy. This poor man hasn't rest since he got here." A form of stillness hovered the sky they stayed. "He's one of me fated ones. A dreamer in your case."

 

"…"

 

"But you're right with one thing. This is kinda boring. I've been skipping through his world. Its mixing up the story you know."

 "Jenny… I hope you know you're not cute." He stared at her, as flames glowed off those black void for eyes.

 

"Anyways let's start anew." Jenny said but stopped. "that's new." She turned to dream, the once 'cute' teddy bear now beard rows of teeth. "Change of plan"

 

In the darkness of the forest, lights flickered through the night. "John, keep up!" Johnson screamed "what are these things!!" not realizing that one was behind him.

 

"Johnson, you need to watch your back." Daniel said after shooting the one behind Johnson.

 

"I know!! if someone was doing their Job I wouldn't have to!"

 

"…" John just stood there, like an empty shell.

 

"hm... command! What are these!?" Daniel asked, his rifle going back and forth. Tearing down the forest that surround them. But in the dark, the gunshots disappeared.

The forest then fell into silence... Daniel looked at Johnson then at John. he signalled for formation.

 

Slowly, step by step. They made their way. Johnson and Daniel stood back-to-back. Watching their sides…

Johnson looked at John… his stillness sent shivers through his body. "Daniel, John isn't moving…"

 

"Huh?"

 

"… team leader Daniel, the creatures you are fight have now been classified as Sisqó's. the creatures have the follow abilities to ----"

 

Daniels hands t--- he looked at John. "Command… what is the current position of John, ID 001."

 

"John, ID 001, is currently 382 meters north of your position and moving."

 

"Johnson… the thing in front of me, isn't john." Daniel whispered, he didn't turn to look at him.

 

"Wha-"

 

"I want you to be quiet…" Daniel eyes glance side to side. "we're going to run on three. Don't stop ok."

 

"…ok"

 

"One…" Daniel loosened his finger on the trigger.

 

"Two…"

 

"Three!!" They dashed into the forest, neither of the two looking back. "Johnson, I've gotten information that the monsters we've been shooting are classified 2b threat! We need to meet up with another team, ok!" 

 

"Johnson?" Daniel repeated repeatedly, but each time. He was replied with silences, in that moment he questioned if he should stop, or keep running.

 

 Unfortunately for Johnson, Daniel could only cry his sorry.

 

400 meters away from Daniel, Cery ran with Azzy. His body still running even though unconscious, only her hand lead him. 

"Why is Jason so far?!" sensing something ahead, she stopped, Analyzing the best way to avoid what's up ahead but not going too far off courses.

 

From above, Jenny and the one she calls dreamy watched.

"Huh… isn't she one of mine?"

 

"Yeah, she is. Luna, the pretty little thing you haven't seen her in 55 years."
