5 Just a premonition?
—Miss?—A distant voice seemed to call.
After some more time calling, Alyra finally woke up from the trance, she looked at the man in front of her, who was looking at her strangely.
—Is everything okay with you?— Said the school security, but she had already experienced that.
—Can I know what day it is?—She asked, confused.
—3 November, miss.
November 3rd? What happened? Did she travel back in time? Was she crazy? What the hell was going on?
Alyra could no longer differentiate whether she was living in reality, or was being deceived by the strange torture system, which she was in minutes ago.
Alyra chose not to say anything else, she just took a deep breath, and went to the car looking around. Worried about what she should do, was she crazy? Or was it all a sign? What had happened? It was then that she started to remember …
" Everything you need to discover is in the castle on the north side."
She got in the car, and closed the door, it was like everything was going on differently, but she was managing to notice things that she hadn't noticed before.
"it is there where you will find most of the things about you"
She looked in the rear-view mirror, and saw that the driver had been looking at her for some time, but as soon as he realized she noticed, he looked away.
" about your species"
It was not long before she was coming home, to finally find out if everything that happened was real, or just a crazy dream.
"and about how to get out of this shit where they put you."
She arrived, got out of the car quickly, and entered the house, unlike the first time, Alyra waited for a while, behind the door looking out the small window that was there, hidden, where she can see the driver looking sideways before going to the garage of the house, without the car.
Alyra snuck out of the house, and went to the place, but did not enter, went around the place and went up to the basement, where she could see a small window, old and half dirty, but which allowed the girl a view of what was happening.
It was then that she found out, she would never have killed her parents, as both were already dead.
—The girl is here, right?—”Margareth”, her mother asked.—I am still trying to adapt to that body, but I'm still thinking, we need to act like a human couple.
—Yes, she is at home, we need to be quick before she comes looking for us. And don't worry about it, just call each other one of those strange names that humans use, and stay close all the time, that's enough—he said quickly, taking the man's body and looking him straight in the eye.
Suddenly, the driver's body was transformed into a large black slime, which covered the man's body, until it entered through the mouth, nose and ears.
After that, a short breath came out of him, desperately, as he searched for air.
—It is awful to get into that type of body, I'll never get used to it—he complained.
—Come, let's go after the girl—the woman said.
Alyra then despaired, what if they didn't find the girl inside the house? They would discover her hoax, discover that she already knew the truth. Unfortunately, her desperation hindered her.
In an attempt to walk backwards, the girl stumbled, tried to support herself, but ended up dropping some old things.
They quickly looked in the direction of the girl, who didn't even wait to see their next movements, just turned and ran, as if there was no tomorrow.
Sometimes she looked back quickly, seeing the creatures running in an awkward way, then remembered all the times she asked her parents to move out of that place, where there was only their house and the entrance to a forest, but now, had realized how great this would be.
She quickly entered the place, knowing that there could be dangerous animals inside, but in the moment, nothing seemed worse than what they wanted to do.
Alyra passed through the narrowest places, through branches and rocks, leaving them farther and farther behind. Until it finally came to an end.
It was a beautiful place, it had a big waterfall, but there was no other passage, at least none that favoured the girl.
—Think, think, think!—She said as she beat herself on the head, her heart pounding, her skin sweaty, her hands shaking, she felt like she was going to die, and if she didn't have a good idea, she really would.
That was when she started hearing hurried steps, which made her even more desperate, when she remembered again, about what had happened in the “vision”.
“ After the brief conversation, she went up to the bathroom and turned on the bathtub, after it was full, Alyra turned off the tap, got in there, and sank into the water, a strong light illuminated the entire bathroom, which had the light off, and in moments there was no longer any evidence that the girl had been there, not even the water, which was gone, just like her. ”
She looked at the water hopefully, if what she saw was real, she could go to that place, but if it were just in her head, she would die.
"Vega, if you really exist, I need you to help me now," she thought, bent down, and went into the water making as little noise as possible.
It was when she felt a hand pulling her body, she then took a deep breath, seeing" Margaret's" withering look, while "Robert", her father, tried to get out of the branches, still awkwardly.
—Do you think you can escape?—She asked, squeezing her neck.
The girl struggled, and then kicked the woman in the stomach with as much force as possible, who released her for lack of breath, going back with the urge.
Alyra knew that Margareth had another spirit within her, but she had the same body, a human body and full of flaws, especially her mother, who was not very athletic or muscular.
—Are you all right?— Her partner asked, as Alyra entered the water, and swam to the bottom, where they couldn't reach her,
—Go after her idiot!—shouted, standing up with a little pain.
The man ran to the spot, but when he went into the water, a bright light came out, it was late, she had escaped.
The two looked at each other, and could only think about how they were in trouble, after all, whoever sent them there, wanted the girl.
