Chapter 1 - The Storm

''You remember this place?'' I asked her.

A sidewalk, grass, and concrete.

a broken promise, a cracked soul, only the husk remains.

She sat down gently, smiling.

She looked around her, the landscape was stormy, destroyed, crumbling buildings.

''Yes!..'' She giggled, ''yet it's barely recognizable, what happened here?''

Strong winds race down on us, ignoring our existence, but so do we.

''Hmm..'' I scratched the back of my head, ''I suppose nothing happened, it has just been that much time since we have been here.''

I can see the lure in her eyes.

''How much do you think?''

I checked the landscape again.

''A ridiculously long time.''

We had no shadows, nor our hair respond to the wind, you could hear the rain, but there's none, thunder makes no sound.

And most weird of all, I was standing up.

''Wait..!'' She exclaimed, as if she woke up. ''It's you, right?..'' her finger pokes her chin, ''hmm??'' Thunder flashes, as if it's trying to help her remember, ''your name was.. umm-''

I busted out in laughter.

''HAHAHA! PLEASE STOP!! YOU LOOK REALLY SILLY, TRYING TO REMEMBER. HAHAHA!''

she hit me on the chest.

''Hmph!! I don't remember who you are, but you're still mean! like you never changed!''

I held my chest.

''Ouch! Heyy!! That hurts!!'' While tearing up a little.

She stands up she locks he sight to a certain hall up in the distance.

''This feels familiar.'' She holds my hand and drags me, we start running.

''Running is kinda overrated....'' I said mockingly, ''hey! Y-yo-you! Where are we heading to?''

''Shut up! It should somewhere here.''

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

As we run, some buildings and trees look familiar to me.

We entered a certain hall,

It was dusty, grey in tone.

We arrived to a room, she tried to open the door, it was locked and sprinkled with spider webs.

''Those legs work now, right?''

She said.

''Somehow?''

She stepped back.

''Well then leg man! Kick it down, show me your man strength.''

I felt some sort of fading, but I somehow still felt vivid, I didn't know how to use my legs, running just happens to happen, but I tried anyway, I kicked the first time, the door moved, Second time, I heard the lock breaking, third time, it's open!

''Good job! Leg man.'' She said while patting my shoulder

''Ughh..'' I sighed.

We entered the room?

It's was so dark and dusty, all kind of objects there were too, bugs everywhere.

As we inhaled, we started coughing.

She put her hand on a table and wiped the dust.

''This place is extremely old.''

She sat down on a chair.

She started giggling.

''This is a weird place!..'' while spinning on the chair, ''hey boy! You haven't said anything for a while, are you okay?''

I looked at her in a sense of familiarity and newness.

''Oh, yeah I'm good..'' I shook it off, ''I'm having the weirdest case of déjà vu ever.''

''I know right??'' Still spinning in the chair as if it was a blind of fun.

I noticed a glow in the corner of the room.

I followed it.

''Hey! Where you going?''

It was a blue glow, on a bed, under the pillow, I picked up the pillow, you can see the dust playing with the light of the glow, and the latter warms my face.

It was an envelope!

The address was written in Korean.

Inside the envelope was a blue orb.

''Annoying girl, you should come see this.''

She stood up and rushed to me.

''Hey who are you calling Annoyin-''

Her eyes lit up as she sees what's on my hands

''What's that?''

''I have no clue.'' I responded.

The silence of wonder drowned the atmosphere.

''HAND IT OVER!'' a mysterious figure said from behind them.

The light revealed who it was.

It was me! But on a wheelchair?

''Wait? Is that you?'' She asked confused.

''Huh?..'' I responded to the boy, ''and why should I listen to yo-''

A female figure rushed and snatched the envelope out of my hands, and gave it to the boy.

As the Annoying girl looks ar that female figure.

''Is that me??..'' with a grin on her face, ''at least not on a wheelchair, haha!!''

The two mysterious figures stand next to each other.

''There's no other choice.'' The mysterious girl said.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished.

Then we stood really confused.

''What just happened?''

I said in a loss for words.

''Like a wise man once said, I have no clue.'' She responded.
