Chapter 5 :~: The Revival
Sheeran's Perspective:-
Darkness, there is pitch darkness everywhere, everything around me seems to be falling freely towards the base while I am stagnant in my inertial frame. I judged from this that this has to be a dream, and the special part was that it was very similar to the dream I previously had the other day, in the biology class. I had a tingling sensation around the region of my belly. I guessed that it might be because I was hungry, but the peculiar thing was that it was different than the craving for food. I can't decide whether it was good or bad, it was kinda a mixture of both.
While I was there in the void, I started hearing some very strange voices all around me, it was in a very different language, but I could tell that it was from the earth I came from. I could hear a person, possibly a male teenager screaming in agony, as if he was being tortured. Besides the boy's voices, I could also hear voices in the background chanting some spooky prayers and the boy was still screaming.
Suddenly the voices stopped and the void all around me started to break apart as if it was made up of matter. I was still very confused when I realized that one of the pieces breaking from the void was about to fall directly upon me. I tried to run away but all in vain, it was as if I was trapped in a vacuum. Helpless, I covered my face with my hands and the thing collapsed. I was scared to the last part of my cell, even if I knew that it was just a dream, the feeling was surreal.
To my surprise, I was completely intact, in one piece and the pieces of the void had diminished into several small pieces and when I say small, I mean it! I looked around when I realized that the scenery had changed and it was not the void anymore. Instead, I found myself amidst a countryside village, probably from Earth. There was just a single hut in my vicinity and the rest of my surrounding was covered in lush green fields.
When I moved towards the hut, I started hearing the voices again, of the boy and the creepy chanting people. I went to the hut tiptoed and took care that no one feels my presence. I found a sort of window just adjacent to the door and I peeped through it [yeah I know these are bad manners, but that is what I am, a very curious child.] I was horrified to see the scene inside and confused at the same time.
Inside the hut, there was a big circle made of blood probably as it was red, which covered about 40% volume of the entire hut. Exactly between the circle, there was the screaming teenage boy, sitting on a chair, where his hands, as well as legs, were tied to it. His face was covered with a white cloth, which surprisingly had bloodstains on it. The boy sat facing the door and indirectly towards me.
Just in front of the boy, 13 people surrounded him, and probably these are the ones who were chanting those creepy prayers. The men wore perfectly white robes and one of them had the bible in one of his hands and the holy cross in another. I judged that he might be a priest. The priest lifted the cross upon which everyone stopped their chanting. Surprisingly the boy also stopped his screams.
The priest while standing on the edge of the red circle, pointed the cross towards the boy and handed the bible to one of the men. "Natan, ai fost acuzat de vrăjitorie și magie neagră. Se spune că ești stăpânit de diavolul însuși, așa că trebuie să facem ceea ce este necesar." The priest said and I wasn't able to understand it that well, but I became more sure that this place is somewhere on the earth. "Nu, nu Este adevarat" the boy whose name was Natan supposedly started screaming.
I was so frustrated as I was not able to understand a single thing. But suddenly the screaming stopped. There was a ghastly silence all around for at least 2 seconds when I saw that the cloth with which the bag was covered started turning redder and redder. At a point, the boy started laughing but the strangest part was, that the voice was not the same anymore. It was probably a voice of a middle-aged man about 40 years or so. I started getting the creeps when the boy stopped laughing and turned his neck in my direction and I got a feeling inside my mind that he has spotted me.
I quietly turned back and ran as fast as I can, it was horrible. I ran for about 15 minutes continuously at full speed across the lawn. When I stopped to rest awhile, I turned back and saw the hut again. But that was not the worst part, When I turned completely to the hut, I saw myself there peeping inside the window, as if someone had turned the clock back.
Suddenly the scenery around me begins to shatter just like the first time in the vacuum. This time the structure collapsed and I found myself on a seashore. A man was sitting by the shore, with a woman on his lap. Judging from their friendliness towards each other I assumed that they might be a couple. They were having a conversation with each other, which was in a foreign tone as well. But this time, I understood their language, it was either Austrian or German. As I had studied German since childhood in the hostel I could easily understand a great chunk of it.
Hence I hid behind a small boat, anchored by the shore and listened to their conversation. They were talking about the sea and the waves and the rocks by the shore, in short, the typical romantic talk. The woman lying on the man's lap lifted her right arm which had a bracelet when the man was lost in the beauty of the sea. Suddenly a Kunai knife appeared in one of her hands. She held it and stabbed the man in the stomach. The man groaned with pain and started asking her why she did it. She got up from his lap and gave a reckless answer fortunately in English, "Because I had to."
The man tried to stop her by holding her wrist. The woman again summoned a Kunai, and this time she stabbed him in his right eye, removed the knife, and pierced it into his left ear and the blade came out from the left eye. The scene was terrifying. I saw my hands, and they were shaking due to fear. There was blood everywhere on the shore which was disgusting to watch. The woman turned back and started walking to the boat, as she was advancing her swimsuit changed into skin-tight jeans, a grey top, and shoes suddenly appeared on her bare feet. She came towards the boat and my heart beats started increasing. She came to me and looked into my eyes, giving me a cold stare, she grabbed me by my neck and I was frozen on the spot.
Suddenly her hand started dissolving into the sand and so did her body. Gradually the entire scene started turning into sand and I covered myself with my arms to avoid the sand particles getting into my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw myself standing in the classroom, with a marker in one of my hands. I turned behind and saw Mrs. Duncan standing and looking at me, "Come on Mr. Lewis explain the active transport that happens in the cell membrane!!" I was terrified and relieved as well, I thought that all that had happened till now might be a dream which included Steven, the galaxy stuff, etc., and that I was watching a dream.
But I soon realized that it was not so, as the day when Mrs. Duncan called me in the front of the class she asked me a different question band this one was different. Suddenly the doors of the classroom were banged in quick succession. Mrs Duncan went to see who it was and she opened the door. To her surprise, she was thrown away as two people opened the door. They were the teen child with the blood cloth on his face and the Kunai knife woman. Both of them raced towards me and I screamed to the top of my voice and closed my eyes.
When I opened them I found myself on a bed, Steven was sitting beside me with a woman and two girls about 8 years old both of which were twins. When Steven saw me awake he came to me and hugged me tightly, "Oh Sheeran I thought we lost you, but thank Demir! You are safe."He said.
"Where am I and who are these people?" I asked in a drowsy voice as I still had the strange sensation in my stomach which I felt was shifting to my head. "Sheeran this is Tvettay, the planet of the Yuris and you are currently sitting in my house. And these people, are my family.
