Prologue What would you do if a dream you've been dreaming lately suddenly came true, reality? Is this real? What happened? Who are you people? The things you've known suddenly changed. "Umm..excuse me, who are you?" I asked as I regained my consciousness. I was lying in a bed. I looked at a woman checking on something and was writing, she's in a nurse outfit but I don't know what's going on. As she then spotted me looking at her she then said. "Oh! You're awake that's good" "Wha? where am I?" I asked as I looked around at the bed that I was lying. After I'm done looking at my surroundings I Then suddenly looked at the window right next to me. "oh you're at the hospital two people saw you lying on the streets unconscious covered in blood, but don't worry it's not a mild injury" she said explaining the situation i looked closely outside but….it felt strange.. It looks familiar but feels different?, I looked at the nurse again. She was smiling at me and was standing patiently. I then asked. "excuse me, are we in the U.S?" It's absurd to say such unlogical things but right now I don't know where I am or if I'm really in the U.S or just similar to the U.S as i said such a thing she looked at me confused. I was gonna laugh at such expressions until she said. "what?" She looked at me confused, not knowing what I was saying. I don't know what to say to such a ridiculous answer. I thought to myself, is this a prank? If it is, it's not funny as I was silent for a moment. I then said "well if this isn't the U.S which country am i right now?" The nurse then looked even more confused and puzzled on what I was saying. She then spoke "U.S? Country? What is that?" ``She Really doesn't know what i was talking about, I was a bit baffled and chuckled a bit as I then sarcastically said "what? What is this? Are we not on earth or somethin?" As I was supposed to laugh i then looked at the nurse with a confused expression looking at me like i was crazy she then finally said. "this isn't the U.S this is called The Exile" she said , Now I was the one confused "the...what?"
As my eyes were shut closed. I heard voices of people screaming , shouting , followed by a raging suite of thump and thud, they were running. My eyes struggled at first prying to open it through. But as I tried to pry it forcefully than I could , it opened. My eyes was visibly uncomfortable through the new enviromental change as seems to be too bright than it should'v been , I tried to squint and look carefully on my sorrounding, but it was far more brighter than it placed: as I can't seem to looked carefully through my new sorrounding , it was more than uncomfortable enough , as it was followed of screeching shouts, some asking for help as some of desperation , it was all over the place. Followed by a raging outcry to 'help' from 'save me' it was far too loud as it was too bright...
.But more weirder than it seems so far, Is that: it feels like I was more than alone in this place , than people could'v guess. From the shouts through the scream; I expect someone to bump or even push me from their path but no one seem's to even walk in my way. I feel like a ghost, standing alone in abyss full of outcry full of blooding tears, infact I can even hear people running and panting closely by my side, as if they were walking past me. Yet not one of them bump into me.
As I was more curious than ever I still can't get used to the blinding brightness I rub my eyes as it begin's too hurt and then I saw my family staring at the sky blankly .
"Mom?"
I saw my whole family. Everyone was running , they were screaming. It feels like this is the end of the world. But my family was just looking at the sky , I saw a kid looking up above.Mesmerized, while her mother was busy carrying him as she run faster than she could. Running , panting; I then looked at the direction the kid pointed in his tiny hand. I then looked at the..... Meteorite ? Asteroids ? It was a big blue light so big it looked 10 km big. No! even bigger for all i know! It was coming in the direction of my family's way
"Run!"
I shouted as I was about to push my mother then.
"what?"
I questioned myself while looking at my hand.
"I can't...touch them?"
I looked at them again. I finally noticed I was also there with my family , my dad , my mom and my best friend. They were there. I was also there....
"what are you doing, run!"
I shouted again but they couldn't hear me nor could I touch them. They were looking at the meteorite falling in THIS direction. Their eyes were blank. It was like someone was controlling them and I too was spacing out.
"Mom , Dad Axel! What are you doing?run!".
I looked at them anxiously. and then looking at the asteroids falling
"ru-" I was about to speak again but to no avail, failed. They couldn't hear me I shouted at the top of my lung's but my voice faded as a big ball of blue stone coming this way at full speed it was so loud that my ear could explode at that moment, it was hot, my body was hot it felt like my whole body is gonna melt.
flop!
I knelt on the ground feeling utterly weak as i looked at my family again they were still standing. Still my head felt dizzy my heart felt like it was about to explode! because of my bodies temperature that felt like it was rising I couldn't do anything I feel dizzy as I was about to faint -
" Mom…"
*****
FLINCHED!
I jolted awake in a cold sweat, my stomach rolling from hotness and anxiety 'that dream again...' I said to myself. I looked at a water bottle by my side and grabbed it
"sigh.. that damn dream is so annoying" As I wiped the water dripping in my lips after drinking the water.
I then got out of bed to breathe and took a deep breath. I got out of my room and I heard people talking and chatting. ``It seems so loud downstairs, what's the problem?" I said to myself and I got out of my room and closed the door. Then I went down stairs. I was about to talk but then i didn't expect the person I saw
"grandma?" I said, ``It was my grand mother lola emellã!
"* apo! my grandchild! Oh my you've grown, give your lola a kiss c'mon" As she then peck a light kiss on my cheeks.
" hahaha stop lola why are you here?" I then looked at her as i then looked at my surroundings.
"*tito! *tita ansella! you're also here? What's the celebration?" I looked at my uncle and my aunty.
"oh ivan you've really grown well nothing much my mom just missed you alot and wanted to see you since you've graduated now we wanted to pay a visit and you know know the accident" As my aunty ansella explained with worried eyes.
Right. My graduation day was yesterday and the accident week ago " I was wondering why you didn't come at my graduation day i thought you'd forget you didn't mean to surprised me like this you could have just called'' i said while smiling happy to see them also wanting to change the subject.
"nonsense! How would we forget our grandchild's graduation? I missed you alot apo!" As she hugged me again I also hugged her back.
"Well...they called yesterday at night that they were coming and said they already booked a flight to come here and see us it was late at night so we didn't bother to inform you yesterday" My mom said .
"Oh apo! it's been awhile how was school? Was it fun? Got any girlfriend? did they bullied you?" My grandma said. Talking fastly .
"school was ok and I met some good friends and no, they were nice to me" I said to her as she ease her anxiousness
"Sigh that's good" She said smilingly relieved ceasing her anxious heart.
"Sooo...any thing new on your love life? for example a girl friend? " My uncle interruptly teased me. Everyone then bursed into a fit of laughter
"HAHAHAHAHA NO WAY! he'll get a girl friend at this point!" My father said still laughing I was ashamed as i wanted to protest the speakable truth, My face turned bright red I was a bit embarrassed.
"stop no! no way!" I said embarrassedly they were laughing again As he said jokingly while smirking everyone was laughing mirthless LY again.
