Chapter Two: A Revelation
Opening his eyes while sitting up and shivering, Karl quickly grasped a pencil and paper, he then started sketching at an incredible speed. In three minutes, he drew a tiny mushroom thing holding a Rubik's cub, pointing at Earth with a pointy finger.
He started sketching another drawing, it was of people clutching their heads while many other's were exploding into mushroom creatures, and everything was being overgrown by mushrooms. Another sketch was of a large city with a few million people living it, it was surrounded by a ten metre thick rock wall that looked like it was raised from the Earth itself.
After the last drawing, he stopped because he couldn't remember the last parts about his nightmares. Picking up the three sketches, Karl put them in a folder on his desk, but his hands still trembled slightly, which caused the rest of the paper in the folder to fall out.
More than thirty pieces of paper fell out of the folder and spread out on the ground, they were sketches of Earth and the solar system. Earth was on fire while mushrooms were growing on the surface of the planet, other drawings showed a giant mouth swallowing the sun, while the rest were pictures of weird deformed animals on earth with mushrooms growing off of them and three large cities in three different parts of Earth.
Lastly, there was a picture of a being dressed in a cloak facing off against a tiny humanoid thing, their hands were pointing at each other while a trail of flames spewed from a finger of the cloaked figure that had no flesh on it, just bone. The bone was covered in tiny symbols that were made with the help of a microscope while light was shaded in to be coming from the symbols.
Kneeling down Karl picked up all of the sketches, he put them back in the folder along with the new ones while he put the date on the top right corner, and he placed the folder in a locked drawer that had a small safe inside with the code being 1685.
Kris decided to wake up right as Karl closed the drawer and locked it, her fluffy robe also decided to make a decision of it's own, and it slid off her body revealing her breasts. It then continued to slide down, but Kris caught it before it could go any further.
Turning around, Karl saw the current scene of the robe falling down, and he blushed while covering his eyes and looking away. Looking closely at his eyes, Kris sighed regretfully as she didn't get to see his eye colour, she didn't even catch a glimpse of one of his eyes.
Pulling up her robe, she ran out of Karl's room back to her own room, and then she locked her door and did her own stuff in her room. Getting dressed in new clothes, Karl took a picture of his newest drawing that he had got done, and he uploaded it to an anonymous art auction sight.
Exiting his room he walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, inside he found a lunch container filled with spaghetti and meatballs. His name was written on the top of the container, clearly implying that it was for him, so he took it out of the fridge, opened it up, and gobbled it down.
Making his way out of the kitchen, he decided to take a stroll around the campus, to calm down and clear his mind of the disturbing images he can remember very vividly. All those images of people exploding into blood and gore, only for them to become weird mushroom creatures, it was a very scarring scene.
Walking around the campus Karl found few other students walking around at this time, that didn't cause him to think anything was strange. What he did think was strange was that someone was following him discreetly, which he found quite odd.
He knew someone was following him because he had been stalked by girls from ages of 14 to 20 when he was only twelves years old, and it was because of his eyes. Every girl who glimpsed them became infatuated with him and he always found it strange as to why that would happen.
Continuing to walk around campus until it was well past dark, Karl had just started to head back to his dorm when four burly men in black suits rushed out of a dark alley and grabbed ahold of Karl. They were abducting a boy in public.
Immediately deciding not to fight back after he saw a glimpse of a shiny black metallic object, Karl was carried away into a secluded spot on campus after a bag was put over his head, and he was carried for five minutes before he was strapped to a metal chair where the bag was taken off.
Opening his eyes, Karl saw that there was a girl on the heavier side standing in front of him, and he didn't mean the fat or obese kind of heavier side, he meant the thicker side.
Realizing who he was facing Karl became terrified, he started struggling to try and get out of his restraints, but to no avail. The thicker girl had blond shoulder length hair, blue eyes that had a playful glint in them, and accompanying smile standing at a height of 5'5.
This girl standing in front of Karl was known to have many different boyfriends at the same time, who she would have at least three of in bed every night, and any who were unhappy with that arrangement would silently disappear within a day.
They would be expelled from the college due to some false story, but no one would ever look into those kinds of things in case they were implicated and also disappeared. One of the only reasons that these things were found out was because of some rumours started by unknown students.
Looking straight at the girl, Karl started thinking back on the happiest moments of his life, and he started sobbing. Her name was Jashuri, pronounced Ja-sure-e, and she had set her sights on this guy in front of her a while ago.
She had sent him letters in his mail, but they never got a reply, and she became frustrated after a month. Due to the mystery surrounding his eyes, she had taken an interest in him, also because a rumour had been circulating that he had never been with a girl before.
Waving her hand, which was the signal to take him away and get rid of him, Jashuri was about to walk away and spend a few hours with as many men as possible, but she remembered about his eyes, and signalled for the guys who were taking him away to stop.
Crouching down in front of Karl, Jashuri took off the special Glasses that didn't allow anyone to peak through, and she saw pure magnificence. Like looking at the calm blue ocean with the blue sky reflecting off the water, Jashuri became absolutely infatuated with his eyes, but she snapped out of the momentary
Remembering the feelings he had for her were nonexistent, her disappointment outweighed her infatuation to Karl's eyes, and she resumed letting the four burly men, who she would reward later, continue taking Karl away to dispose of him after she had put his special glasses on.
Bringing Karl far away from the campus in to a dark alley that was in the blind spot of any cameras, the four burly men beat him until he was bleeding from his ears and nose, and then they shot him. Because they had done this so many times, the knew where to shoot to cause the most pain but where it wasn't vital.
Shooting him in the legs and in the stomach, they then kicked the places where he had been shot a few more times to cause a little extra pain because they were dissatisfied that this guy hadn't given any reaction to their goddess.
Jashuri's father was a leader of one of the three most feared gangs in the surrounding four cities, which is why she dared to act like this, and she had never encountered any difficulties in her life. Even when she was in school, with a few words from her father every teacher would treat her differently along with giving her the highest grades they could.
Lying in a pool of his own blood, Karl used his arms, which weren't shot, and dragged himself out of the alley. Making his way to a brick wall, he used the last remnants of his strength to put his back against the wall and move his legs so they were straight out in front of him.
Because he was loosing to much blood, he would die if he wasn't taken to a hospital soon, and it was at this moment that he realized something, he had dreamt of this moment. With his back against the wall, dying, wth the exact same scene all around, but he had woken up before anything else could happen.
Closing his eyes he started resting, but he was interrupted by the violent shaking of his body shortly afterwards. Opening his eyes he saw the worried and horrified face of Kris, who was crouching in front of him along with his other two roommates, the couple, and they were on the phone with 911.
"OH MY GOD! What happened to you, Karl? Who did this to you?!" Kris was the one speaking, she was also tying some gauze around the bullet wounds in his legs while applying pressure to try and stop the bleeding.
Smiling to himself he whispered one word, "Jashuri.", and it was all that Kris needed to hear to understand what had happened. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS! I'M TELLING YOU MY LOCATION AND THE DESCRIPTION OF WHO HAS BEEN SHOT! WHY ARE YOU STILL ASKING FOR DETAILS! JUST SEND A FUCKING AMBULANCE ALREADY!"
Mathew, who was the blond haired roommate, angrily hung up the phone after shouting into it, and he had an apologetic face as he looked at Karl and Kris. "I'm sorry, they are still asking for all kinds of details that I can't give and also delaying as if they don't want to send out an ambulance."
"Don't try again, it's useless, Jashuri was the one who did this. So there isn't anywhere we can go." Kris sobbed out these words as Karl started coughing violently and puked up blood. Hearing that name, Mathew also lost all hope of saving this friend of his, and teared up.
Throughout all of the beating and moving around that he's done, Karl still had his glasses on, and he decided to reveal his eyes to his friends. "Take off my glasses." These words left his mouth as he continued resting.
Surprised, Kris took off his glasses to reveal Karl's closed eyes, but they weren't closed for much longer. Slowly opening his eyes, all three of his roommates were immediately enthralled by his eyes, including Mathew, who thought they were works of art.
Kris was of course the most affected by his eyes since she already had feelings for Karl, and she stared at his eyes as if she was a guy seeing a naked woman. Gazing into them, she felt like she was being swallowed by a whirlpool in the ocean, slowly leaning forwards towards Karl's face, she kissed his bloody mouth.
Holding the kiss for fifteen seconds, she pulled away with the dark red colour of deoxygenated blood on her lips, and she looks like she has lipstick on. Touching her lips and seeing the blood on her fingers, something inside of Kris broke at that moment.
She didn't know why he had this done to him or why he was targeted by Jashuri, but Kris started thinking of many different ways of getting revenge on Jashuri, but none of them were feasible, and she decided to just straight of kill her in a suicide attack, but then something changed with Karl's facial expression.
It was as if he shocked immensely somehow, it was like he discovered something that would change his life and the lives of many others, and he turned his gaze skyward. In the next moment an even greater amount of shock washed over him, he started moving his lips without any sound coming out, and he realized just what all those dreams and nightmares were. He had a... revelation.
(P.S Yeah yeah, I know the end is a little cheesy, but whatever, I like it. If you don't like this novel just wait for few chapters, I'm sure you'll like the idea and setting, and if not then I hope you find a different novel that will interest you. One last thing, there is no smut in this book, that thing with Jashuri previously was purely for plot progression.)
