Day 5

Jigxie was standing in the forest a little bit far from the river, she was looking at them for a while, she couldn't quite describe what she was feeling at that moment if it was terror or curiosity and then she took a deep breath and then decided to let her curiosity lead her, she doesn't run away anymore as they discussed a few days earlier all she was about to do is going straight to those zombies mermaid whispering in the middle of the river.

"Tisperanti sho-korrrran divoti"

"Tisperanti sho-korrrran divoti"

"Tisperanti sho-korrrran divoti" A Third pops out its head opens its mouth showing its dark sharp bloody teeth with some missing pieces and then smiles afterward

At one point seeing the way that Jigxie was so close to them you could have said that it wasn't her doing anymore but the creatures in the water.

Yes that is right she was under the influence of them all.

Arriving in the middle of the river she suddenly stops and turns to look at them.

"Paparapiho," said the third one

It saw that Jigxie did not react to what it said so it immediately got mad, it turned to face its kind, furious, curious to tell the truth mad as hell, and then it yelled

"Flooovoran"

After hearing what the creature that seemed to be in command communicated with the rest of them, they looked at each other and began making that weird turn with their necks, like their leader just cussed at them or something, just before each of them started swimming everywhere at all once, hitting each other in the process like crazy and then their leader approach jigxie still hypnotize and couldn't do anything even if she wants to, she stood there in the middle of the water like a statue.

It began approaching her slowly, seeing its eyes the others could have sworn that their leader was afraid of her but it had one mission, and that mission was to get close to her enough so it could touch her forehead and then push her so she could fall off her back and began drowning and that's precisely what the creature did.

As soon as Jigxie's back touches the water they all stop swimming like they were doing before and immediately stop to watch her sink into the middle of the river

The longer they watch her it's the deeper she's getting.

Deeper and deeper just before a voice out of nowhere interrupted her in the middle of her passage and said

"Jigxie, grab my hand"

All of a sudden her eyes were large open and there was that arm stretched out toward her, she took her time to admire and see who was it just before she put one arm up and tried reaching it.

They stay still and look at the water's surface eyes wide open as if something is supposed to happen after what their leaders just did

And expectedly Jigxie's head popped out of the water, looking way different than she had been a few moments ago before she had almost drowned, she got in the water with clothes on, then she came out without, her long black hair that once gave her around her waist wasn't long and black anymore but short and garnet red and now the length gave her on top of her shoulder.

And then many more tattoos started to appear all over her body, the once bright red and black flower was now a bit darkish, and surprisingly one petal began falling off.

As soon as she got out, the creatures looked surprised, some of their mouths stayed open while some others just smiled, Jigxie repeated a particular word that wasn't in her vocabulary before all that but she heard it somewhere, somehow, and surprisingly it wasn't English either, something like.

"Floooovoran"

She took a look all around her and was happy with what she seemed to look at.

"Amazing indeed- and there is no lie in that statement cause what an amazing world" Stated Jigxie

And through her own eyes, the before Dark and the creepy forest became a delightful place with so many different plants with plenty of fruits, the water creatures weren't now the only creatures she saw, there were elves, all different types of fairy, unicorn, a two heads rabbit and she heard two big wings flying overhead.

It quickly took another turn cause she suddenly found herself in the middle of a dark place while she could have sworn that she was standing in the forest a few seconds ago.

She saw weird-looking and dirty people with plates in their hands asking pedestrians for food and clothes and some others couldn't even stand, they found themselves in a corner screaming and the screams were unpleasant, and then seconds later she was back in the middle of the beautiful forest where the dead looking mermaid that tried to drown her was in front of her, surprisingly the mermaid isn't a dead looking one anymore but she regains her skin and turns out she was a beautiful elf looking mermaid so do the others, she glances at her and then pet her on the head then making her way out of the water where others were waiting for her with a dress made out of leaves and flowers.

"Did she just visit both Eden and then hell in a matter of time?" one of the creatures said in their language but it translated into Jigxie's language for some reason.

"she is not like the others this one" another exclaimed

While she was trying to make her way out of the water the other elves' mermaids saw the way she petted their leader's head so all of them rushed and began hitting her in the head trying to do the same as Jigxie but except those weren't feeling the same as petting but these were exactly slapped and their leader wasn't really happy about it.

As soon as she made it out they helped her to put on the dress made of leaves and flowers, she stayed on dry land, stopping for a minute trying to process the beauty of nature so she glanced up, opened both of her arms, and then all the creatures that were in her presence bow down

"Altesedeaaaa morthesoo," the mermaid leader said for the last time.

Day 7

Marty was walking toward the normal-size human sitting on the throne then one moment later he pretended that no one else was there but only the two of them, so he blurred the giant beautiful women gathered, making a huge crowd all around him out of his peripheral vision and he was focusing on the prize, the prize, the prize only.

But the unexpected happens, the more focus he gets the further the woman on the throne is getting, seeing that all of his expressions started changing, the face that was all smiley, cheeks raising, a defined wrinkle running from the side of his nose to the corner of his mouth, his mouth may part exposing all his teeth was now with one eyebrow raised higher than the other, lips pursed together and squinting eyes.

To his surprise, the woman stretched once again her arm toward him and signaled him with one finger to keep going.

The more he was walking it's the more the straight and short line in front of him proved itself not to be a straight and simple line, it was all of a sudden getting hot and him sweating to death, for him, it was all zigzag, and the road he was on now become a labyrinth, he began to tic-tac-toe his way out, unfortunately, the more he was trying was the more closer he was getting to being lost.

His head was getting heavy, difficult to breathe, he began to cough

"Kaff! Kaff!"

His eyes getting blurry and watering, all he saw in front of him was now an illusion, and he couldn't think of anything to do to get out of this situation.

He took a moment to use the palm of his hand to wipe out his face, the drop of water that got off his face started falling at a speed and altitude when it hit the ground making a loud noise he couldn't even bear to hear.

The loud sound of the drop of sweat hitting the ground made him vibrate and the spot he was standing began shaking at a magnitude seeing the massive cracks it looked like the ground was about to crack open and swallow him whole.

He looked at the palm of his hand and he saw part of his face stay in it like when you touch a portion of cake and it stays in your hand. He shut his eyes hard thinking when he opened them back they would disappear but that wasn't the case cause as soon as he opened his eyes for him it was still there, he closed both of his fists and rubbed his eyes with, the scary part is that when he stopped and look at his fists both of his eyes ball was now attached to his fists.

He opens his mouth and tries to scream "Ahhhhhhh" Then he quickly places his fist back trying to fix his eyes, and it works.

For him, it's like he got exposed to some toxic stuff and now he got contaminated, high enough for him to not think of using his brain to figure out that he was passing a test.

He drops his knees on the ground and says " I can't do this anymore, I can't" He begins screaming "I want to wake up, why can't I wake up?"

Then the girl on the throne broke the silence to reply to him "Come on Marty, you can't give up now - now that you are almost there"

"Ohh, you speak now? - plus how the fuck did you know my name?"

"Now is not the time, please stand up and keep walking towards me"

"Nah, fuck that shit, answer to my question -Did you drug me? Why am feeling that way? Who the fuck are even you?"

"You seem to have a lot of them" she simply replied

"Doesn't matter, just answer me, please - just say something" he sobbed

"Okay, I can tell you only one thing, this is a challenge that you have to pass and you know that already, didn't you?" stated the lady on the throne

"And you find the best way possible to pass this test is by drugging a teenager? ma'am, are you sick in the head?"

"Come on, I know that you are a lot more mature than that in the real world, what are you scared of?"

"Drugs, the drugs - I have never been drugged before but once, now twice, I'm feeling a type of way that, that- "

"Listen I'm scared to finish by liking it, I'm scared to fucking get addicted - I said it, now happy" he continued

"Scared to obtain more power, but that's what you are a junkie, junkie for power, always wanted all the attention, isn't it?"

"Watch your mouth lady"

"After all who isn't a junkie when it comes to power, the more you get the better it is" she exclaimed while raising both of her arms and lightning was getting out of her ten-finger tips.

"Now grow up, this is a League, the stronger you get, the better it is" she added

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" said Marty who seems to finally accept his fate

"I want you to stand the fuck up," she said with such force that make him quickly stand up without him voluntarily doing so

"Now what?"

"Use your brain, what is a Junckie got to do in other to get on track with the rest of the world?"

"Go to rehab and get clean"

"Nice, go on"

As he took control of his own body, he continued to walk where he left off, his mind kept playing him the same tricks as before but this time there was a lady's voice guiding him.

"Focus-s-s-s"

Arriving halfway the ground started to melt and sink with him in the process but he didn't seem to care at all, with each step he took it's the deeper he got, arriving in the middle no one could see his head cause he was buried deep into the mud, he couldn't hear the lady's voice no more nor breath but this time only one voice that kept him going.

"Only one way to find out is to take the training thing seriously," said Axell's voice out of nowhere.

And just like that his head popped out, all his body was so dirty that they couldn't even tell if it was still him.

He kept walking, again and again till he was one step on getting closer to the lady on the throne, the closest he had ever gotten, then 5 men appeared in front of him like they were trying to stop him from getting any closer to the lady.

He got mad so he ran toward them and them towards him throwing punches and just like that they all went flying.

"Halt," said the voice on the throne without even opening her mouth

"hold on, how'd you do that?" barked Marty

"what do you think I'm in your head sweety"

"Okay creep, now why did you stop me for?"

"That's enough for today"

"Nice try tho just so you know this was just the beginning"

"Noo-" He woke up throwing his hands and legs "Noooo, I was almost there now I gotta fucking do it all over again - fuck that shit it's been a week"

"Now calm down big boy, it was just a dream"

"You're not helping Devonte, anyway why did you wake me up?"

"It's class time, get up and go get ready" rambles Devonte

"Men, I'm so done with all this shit"

"Yeah right, don't worry, the symbol is also waiting for you"

"no, not again"

A few moments later he was in the hallway with two of his loyal friends, two friends who seemed to follow him wherever he went and would also do whatever he asked of them. On his right was this Belarus tall white boy named Igor, with light brown curly hair, and brown eyes with strong physic. And his left was Matthew, a white boy with a long beautiful face, a redhead, hazel eyes, and long ears, he didn't seem to be that strong but he was the joker of this group.

"All I can say is that last night was elite," says Mattew

"I heard that there was a break-in into the nurse's changing room, by any chance do you know who was responsible for this?"

"Nope" rambled Igor

"No idea, huh?"

"No idea, if by any chance these guys and our path crossed I'll make sure to stop them and interrogate them, ask them about what they saw, anything that may seem important to us," says Matthew

"Asking about what they saw like, what color if the rumor is true, do nurses wear anything underneath that uniform of theirs?"

"Mmm, mmm, something like that?" Matthew Quickly replied and Igor nodded

Marty looked at both of them and then they began laughing.

"Very funny, I know it was you guys now stop the act, so tell me, is the rumor true? I wanna know"

"Sort of, but unfortunately we did not see enough to confirm or neither deny that rumor - there was that Woman, Mama Leah called Doc 1-"

"Yeah, yeah I remember she was so creepy, a matter of fact she was the only one in the changing room we saw changing, and there was that mark on her back - like a tattoo, it was all over her but cheeks as well" Matthew interrupted Igor to confirmed

"Oh yeah, I know who you're talking about"

"We stayed long enough to see her get into the uniform that's why we can part confirm the rumor and she immediately spotted us so we ran away"

"Yeah she didn't put anything underneath but only one proof does not prove shit we need to go back in" added Igor

"Okay, guys listen-"

A young girl was about to leave the library when she saw them and began yelling which interrupted Marty on what he was about to tell

"I saw what you did on my locker, Matthew, this ain't funny, you're an asshole"

"What you are gonna do about it? landed on me with these long claws, like a hawk?"

They started laughing

"Who knows maybe that is what I should do next time, wait till you fall asleep and rip your throat off" she barked and then went away.

At the same time that was happening, Leo also came out of the Library, and Marty's eyes fell upon him, he got mad for whatever reason so he charged at him.

"This little bastard"

He held him up through his shirt's collar and pinned him to the wall while his feet were swinging.

"What did I tell you, huh? I better not see you in any part of this hallway and look who dares show his nose"

"Wait, hold on, it was just a joke, I was just joking -obviously " Leo tried to explain in other to get out of this situation but that was a nope for Marty cause he wasn't listening at the moment

"You're not laughing now, are you?"

"You better let go of him," Luckily said a voice behind them

And it was Axell coming out of nowhere, at this time the hallway was already crowded with people who wanted to see that marvelous show going on

"Or what?" asked Marty without realizing who was talking for a second then he shortly turned his head

He was surprised to see that it was Axell, this shithead, the guy that he also wanted for being one of the people to give him a hard time here in the orphanage.

"Well, if you do let go of my friend then nothing if not I'm going to make you" he exclaimed

After hearing that he let go of him and faced Axell giving him all his attention but Axell stayed unfazed with his fist close waiting for him to make the wrong move.

Igor held Marty back while he was getting ready to make the move instead

"I got this" he whispered

Then behind Igor was Matthew, they both began walking toward Axell, and seeing everyone's faces including Leo's things were about to go down.

Igor the big guy runs first and pulls a punch into Axell's face I don't know how he did that but Axell manages to excuse his fist that was coming towards his face at full speed if he hadn't done that and quickly, he would've missed a teeth by now.

Igor's facial expression says everything at that moment but he does not let his fear get all of him

Chance could've been on his side for this time but as they said you never get lucky twice so at that thought he stacked all his strength and grimaced his face, pulled his arm back, and swung, he goes up and Matthew went lower with a slide tackle, Axell has the time to read their movement so he dodge Igor fist by diving on his back and when they all thought he was going to fall and Matthew slide tackle going to succeed and messed him up so bad astonishingly when both of his hand touch the ground he did a little flip, whirling, using the edges of Igor's hand swinging up and Matthew's feet dragging on the ground to pass through them without being hit and then swapping places.

They suddenly turned to look at him he didn't take long to try to use this moment and surprise them by running up to them, standing up his ground turning his back on them raising his left leg while the right one clue to the ground flip and then hit Igor in the head with such a strength which cause Igor's head to fly back and with the rest of his body following, lifting up and then flew and crashed to the closest wall.

Matthew did not stop there so he swung at Axell, he blocked it and then once again he blocked another one and then Axell used the open gap to quickly knock him out with a punch.

While they were on the floor with no strength left in them to get up, twisting with pain Axell was looking at the back of his hand, and then turning it showing his palm open, he could not believe what he had just done.

How is that possible? he thought to himself.

Little did he know he had turned his back on one of his enemies, it wasn't anyone but the one and only one, Marty.

Marty glances at his boys on the ground he glances at Axell getting all the glory, so he gets mad, and then he charges at him pushing him, flying and hitting the wall leaving some cracks.

"What the fuck?"

"How did I just do that?" he murmured

Everyone around him was shocked, confused, and afraid, they began to look at him like he was some kind of monster.

Axell got up and was about to continue the fight, but out of nowhere came Jigxie and Leo who quit shaking in a corner to hold him back and trying to stop him from going back to this fight.

"Wow, wow, wow, calm down man, I - I didn't mean to do that" exclaimed Marty

"do what exactly? hitting someone while he turns you his back? coward"

"Yeah, that's such a cowardly move" added Jigxie

"Listen, I'm sorry but let's look at this the other way around, we have power man, and what we just did is nowhere possible, look at them, they are already - I can't say if they are scared or jealous of us"

"We don't know what else we might be capable of so let's put an end to the fight between us right here and right now, I'm not going to risk it" stated Marty

"Fair enough, but you stay away from him now on," says Axell

"Or else we'll eat your heart out bitch" added Leo

"Cool, cool with me"

"Let's get out here guys," says Axell

Then they left Marty standing looking down at his buds on the floor, he panicked as he did not know what to do with all these eyes on him, he panicked and quickly followed the others leaving his friends behind.

Arriving at the intuitive art class they all reclaim their spots, blindfolded, and start to work on the rest of their assignment which was still the sculpture without a sight.

No one said a word, this was the quietest a classroom had ever been before, and not one single word about what they saw this week and not a word about what just happened outside a few minutes ago.

The teacher was enjoying the moment, to be honest, until she was also the one spoiling this moment to explain to the children what she wanted of them.

"Good job so far!! I'm happy with a lot of work that I'm seeing so far"

"But don't be afraid to add little details that will difference your work from the others, the difference is what I'm looking forward to"

"You are the creator don't forget that!! And a creator will choose to shape his work to his image, shaping it into someone really close to him, a partner, a friend, a family member" she continued

"Also please work more on the head, they can be bald, or give them hair if you want, it is up to you"

She walks around and glances at a student's work and then she nods and says to one of them "Good work June, braiding that hair, you guys are such formidable artists and I like that"

She kept walking around and then she stopped "Please use the silence in your favor, it will help, put your ears close to your creation and hear what it is trying to communicate with you, feel the vibration under your fingertips, and then trace"

One of the students was trying to do as she said which was using the silence to help her with her work but it turned out that the silence also her her fall asleep, leaving this world to visit the Realm of Dream when she arrived at that place that she seemed to visit for the first time, there was no peace but chaos everywhere.

People's voices rose to ask for help even tho no one was going to help even if they could cause at that moment everyone was thinking of a way to get themselves out of there.

While running away in every direction another one of the monsters that caused the chaos opened a door right in front of a young boy, placed its hands on his face, erased his eyes from existence, and his face then struck him down.

Although others were fighting, others were known as the soldiers or cops of the dream realm, like this big woman with four pairs of feet and only one sexy body to support all these pairs of feet.

She was really strong but unfortunately, it wasn't enough, cause it wasn't only two monsters anymore but two others emerged out of nowhere to cause more pain.

Quickly a door opened and one of these 4 appeared in front of the young girl who was having this dream, it tended its hand toward her.

And just like that she jumped and woke up from that nightmare.

She quickly took her blindfold off and something strange from her art seemed to scare her, she stood up, pushed the chair she was sitting in aside, and began shaking like a leaf.

Olivia took off her blindfold as soon she heard the girl sobbing and to her surprise, she saw Ludmilla was the one hidden in a corner crying "Lud what is wrong?" Ludmilla pointed at something behind her trying to show her what was wrong and when her eyes also fell on Ludmilla's artwork she got scared and screamed out loud which now got everyone's attention including their teacher, Cynthia.

She was on the other side of the classroom when she saw the students joining Olivia and begin screaming as well so she approached to see what was going on.

"What is happening? What are all of these f-?"

Without finishing her sentence freaked out, baking up a bit, and then began whispering.

"I don't know what- to feel seeing this- I don't know if I should either feel proud and congratulate you- for your amazing work or if I should scream and run away cause that shit is creepy- as- hell"

With all these voices meeting together the screams go louder, so loud that Leah and Devonte who were on another floor hear them so they run, rushing to get in to see what was going on.

"What in the hell is this?" asked Devonte when he got in

"Did you teach them to do this?" Leah asked Cynthia

"No, god no - look at the other works in the room, this is what I taught them to do, not this- God knows what that thing is" replied Cynthia

All of a sudden Ludmilla began doing hand signs to try to explain what was happening

"This is the thing you saw on top of the building that night and that I asked you to draw it so I can see what it looks like-" Translated Leah

"But damn I thought you were hallucinating or something that night, I didn't think that it was real" added Leah

Ludmilla kept going, and to their surprise, Jackson was also back he came into the classroom with a couple of other security guards plus a couple of other children following them.

"Yes this is what it looks like, cause I just saw them in my dream just a few minutes ago" signals Ludmilla

"They?" Jackson barked

"That's correct and they were erasing people's faces and eyes out of existence before killing them"

"I'm telling you- they are here and they are also even scary in person" added Ludmilla with a couple of hand signs while she kept shaking to death.
