Chapter 3 - The Miracle did Happen?!

"I'm so sorry, Julio"

It was black for a really long period. I couldn't feel anything, I only had regrets. Why would he push me off the bridge? We didn't even know each other for a long time... I regret ever talking to someone. I always end up getting betrayed by someone I tried talking to. My trust always has been used by someone... After a few minutes, I could feel my body again. Everything hurt and my head was about to explode. I heard an unknown voice talking with somebody. "Yes, He is the one I told you about". That voice was familiar... Aroux? I tried to move but I still couldn't, I couldn't either figure out where I was at. The bed I lied on felt odd and I was somewhere I didn't feel well at. "Julio? Can you hear me?" I raised my arm a little, but I was still too weak. After a short period, I was finally able to unlock my sights, slowly but well. I looked around as I saw Aroux sitting next to me with an unknown man. The man had Black hair and blue eyes. His skin was also surprisingly white as Aroux, it seemed like they were sick. Aroux helped me up and he gave me something to drink as well. "How are you feeling?" I shook my head and pointed at my head. Aroux checked if my fever was gone too and luckily it was gone. "You must be confused, I'll explain everything too you. Take it easy" It was silent for a short minute but then the other guy broke it. "I'm Leo, Aroux Brother." I stared at him and then turned my face to Aroux. "Do you remember when I asked you if you believe in supernatural things?"

I nodded my head a little. "When I entered the Art class for the first time, you were thinking that I looked like a vampire and.. you were right too. I heard all of you thinking... Where you are right now is called for the Hidden Realm. The Hidden Realm is a protection from all the demons etc." It was written all over my face (Why am I here then?!) "You see... You belong here". I was speechless, is this a prank or a dream? If it is, bring me back! "Julio, at this rate I don't think you know your true self... but we'll talk it out later. You get some rest" He grabbed my hand and helped me on my feet. Leo opened the door for us and we got out. It was so beautiful... It was very dark. The buildings were all dark-themed, but it wasn't too gloomy. The cherry trees flowered gorgeous and the stars were amazing. You were able too to hear laughter and the lanterns fit perfectly. It was just like the so-called "human Realm", but just a bit darker. He helped me down massive stairs and Leo was behind us all the time. He brought me to a tiny room with a black bed for one. It also had a tiny wardrobe and the window was round. He put me down in a comfortable bed and looked at me. "I was forced, Julio." these were Aroux's last words to me before he left me alone in the room. I was really exhausted so I fell asleep almost right away, but I still felt unsafe in this Realm...

"You Belong Here." "At this rate, I don't think you know your true self" What did he mean by that? I always stayed in the "Human Realm". This must be some kind of joke... Why? My regrets came back as my anxiety, but I always believed in supernatural species and now I'm blinded by it when it is right in front of me? I didn't know what to believe. Maybe Aroux was right. At this point, I'm just confused. It'll be interesting what Aroux has for excuses.

"Julio, you need to locate us!"
