"And why would I?"
"For your own interest."Okay? Vague… Interest? I have no interest… except you!"And where would that be?""You'll soon find out."She totally working the mysterious vibe."I do mind. Don't get me wrong I would definitely follow a woman as gorgeous as you anywhere, being the teenager I am. Which sensible man wouldn't? But I just met you and all and you look shady as hell… besides I was told never follow strangers no matter how beautiful they are. For all I know you want to kidnap me and demand for ransom or harvest my organs. So no thanks."I said, standing and walking during the last words. I said that! I really said that! I've aways wanted to say that line to a girl, but please don't kill me for saying that. Where did this confidence come from? I'm still terrified saying it, but it just flowed out."Nothing you do or say would interest me."I pocket my hands saying that"…but even you should have pieced it by now." She added so bluntly. Called it… but the implications are huge. That… that means monsters exists! Even in this world? I thought they where nothing but fictitious stories and myths spun to scare children and adults alike… But they are real… That means there is truth to some of the stories out there. I don't know what to feel right now. Awe or terrified? On one hand the fact I almost died because of one and on the other hand the fact of their existence, if know to the public, would lead to panic. But people wouldn't call all those with experience in meeting them first hand crazies.And on a further view, the possibilities of a world beyond ours. Come to think of it, why should it be such a surprise? I'm taking this surprisingly calm. Am I calm? I'm not that sure. This really isn't such a big drop especially after seeing one and almost becoming its food. I feel totally calm… I think I'm calm…
She continues on and I hesitate for a moment before I follow… After a few minutes of walking down the corridor she comes to a halt in front of dual door. It looks more like a conference room than an office. "Stay quiet until you're asked to speak." I stop beside her and she grabs the handle, with a twist and pushes the door in. She enters and I follow in suit. Right on the money. The big but not absurdly. It's almost empty, slightly dim and with only a few decors. It definitely isn't an office, more like some executive conference room. There is a conference table in the middle of the room. It's a block-shaped of 'U'. Seated is a man—he looks young—in unbuttoned dark blue blazers and wearing a white with thin dark stripped shirt at the far end of the table and on the sides— Huh!! What the hell am I seeing. Are those hologram? There are seven individuals on both sides of the table and a couple others standing by, transparent
I reach for the handles… I look at the director. "I'm just going to go out and say. It sounds like a sales pitch." "You caught on. That's great! People find it difficult but you saw right through it…" He said, clearly excited. I pull open the door… and what do I see before me? Nothing. It looks so dark I can't see anything even with the door open. It looks like I'm staring into an abyss. Seriously? What the hell is this? I'm starting to feel they are the loony ones. However, mid-turn to say something to him a hand pushes me from behind and I go through the door. It felt like I passed through a thin wall of fluid. The sensation felt like a thin blanket of water. It felt like I floated through something if only for an instant but it felt a bit long. It makes wonder is this how floating in space would feel like? Mhm? I though I saw something in the dark expanse. A flash of a figure… I might be seeing things… I catch
Part 2 You know what, I kinda thought it would take longer for me to ponder on it. But being a bit 'logical' is a scary thing. It's been two days since I went to convent and also the third day of locking myself in my room, skipping school. I may have come to a conclusion but what do I tell my family? It's a secret agency for crying out loud. I can't exactly just walk up to them and say 'hey guys I'm going to join a secret agency that fights the supernatural so please don't be worried about me' now can I? For get being crazy they'd say I'd gone and join some religious cult, well not exactly far from the truth considering the convent and when you add the magic and whole supernatural creatures and other worlds exist. Totally sounds like one. I think if I did accept the deal maybe they will take care of that, I guess. So it shouldn't be a problem. I think. I just got out of the shower and into my room. Which is the third streak that I haven't encountered Or
"The monster that attacked me is still out there. So I cannot rest until it is no more so please sir—" Huh? What the hell is he talking about? Before I could stop myself it took a step. "Director—" With a lifted hand up the director shuts me. Nonako-kun peaks at me from his posture, he has a confused look on and even though I know I'm not one to have expressions but I can guess the subtle change of expression on my face may look suspicious to him. The look on his face makes me think he feels like he is willing selling his soul to a devil. "I see…" He squints his eyes. "Great! No need to be so formal, ease up. And no need to go on a long speech or whatever. I get it." He said to Nonako-kun. "Oh, Okay." Nonako-kun straightens himself. "We already had the preparations done, it was obvious the choice you'd make, but I guess we got to finalize them. So would you mind waiting out in the hal
[A./N: Sorry made a mistake and posted this chapter first. Please check the previous chapter just posted it. Thank you.] . Anyways I thought they would be adamant on me not going anywhere but they seem to be cool with it because they are just discussing the fine details. All I have to is shut up and let the adults talk. "No! I won't accept it." All except for one. "Huh." I look up only to meet the sad teary eyes of Orino. She tightens her fists. "Why? We are your family, brother. Why are the ones you should come to, the people you trust when you're hurting. Why has it got to be strangers who only do it as a job, for money. We are the ones you should trust. SO why? Why do you have to go?" "Orino…" I look down. This few days I've been distant from her, not even I wondered. I didn't consider how she felt all this while. I just didn't want anyone around me. It's not as if we weren't close before
[A/N: check out the part 12 of this chapter, made a mistake and posted 13 first. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks again.] . Along the way she said would be personally handling me—which was a total score for me—although there are others as well. Meaning I was already in a team, platoon or whatever it's called. It doesn't matter though, I thought I was going to end up with someone else but I get to see those drums—I mean her every day. Oh yes, I forget one most important thing. The outside is built with high concentrated magic, a dome-like space which they expand when the need arises. There is an atmosphere and a simulated environment which basically works like the real world. So yes they have day and night, rain and other seasonal changes. There are real grass, trees, statues and other decorative places here. Not only that but there are other building like mansions and other cooperate looking building and smaller apartment looking buildings as well i
Part 3 SHIIIIIIIIII Mmmmm… What's that noise? I slept almost like a log. It's weird though, I did have the usual nightmare but it didn't seem to bother that much. I felt rather relaxed. Now back to present, I'm still sleepy but guessing the amount of time that has passed it should be morning. What's that noise though? It sounds like rain, no it sounds close by, like the shower pouring. Why would the shower be on? I could swear I turned it off before going to bed. I don't think I'd sleep walk to turn it on either. In any case I think I should get up and turn it off before they come dump a large bill on me. … Huh? Why am I so heavy? Sleeping like a log doesn't actually mean I'm a log. And I'm kinda finding it difficult to breath a little. No, I'm not heavy rather feels like something is on me and restricting me from getting up and breathing probably. Open your eyes… With a bit of effort I slowly open my ey
