Chapter 3: Differing Realities(Part 1)

A heart solidifying itself, embracing the blackness at her depths. Keeping her vision on her brother, pushing onward in the terrifying night. An innocent one in the dusk, someone existing in a horrifying place.

The maiden unable to comprehend the shift from day to night, unease gripping at her. Ava using a few days, noting down her home layout, carefully doing repairs.

Cleaning up the place during the day, ignoring the foes after the setting sun. The maiden taking the time, reviewing the documents. Mysteries still remaining, someone needing more information.

Darkness around her on the current night, the young woman racing along her dark road. Avoiding bloody hands, one at the end of the nightmare. That faint light, reaching for brother, screaming out to him.

Passing through him, the person fading away. Standing in the abyss, her aching heart. A faint glow from behind, Ava turning in the direction, her eyes on the hazel girl.

"Dabria?" folding her arms.

"You were pretty cold the first time we met as well." Gripping her arm, faintly smiling at them.

"First time? You are not making any sense." Ava's hand behind her head.

"Of course, you would not remember. Can I ask something?" her soft eyes to the maiden.

"I guess that's fine." Ava's confusion.

"Will you repeat your mistakes, or will you forge a new path?" the girl facing away.

"What is that supposed to mean? Just spit it out already." The young woman stepping forward.

"I cannot remain here much longer, until next time. Just know, I am waiting for you, and I will continue to do so." Dabria fading away.

The person's disappearing light, leaving the young woman in the darkness. Their echoing words, someone waiting for her. A confusing message, yet these gripping feelings the maiden.

A presence passing by, a woman in her twenties. The young woman looking to them, seeing their hand pointing to the direction to Avalon High. The individual soon morphing into a monster, Ava alarmingly stepping away.

The fiend lunging at her, that maiden jolting up in bed. Catching her breath, her heavy breathing. The sunlight passing through the blinds, her hand moving it aside. Looking outside, sweat drenching her.

Ava looking down a bit, thinking on the nightmare. Shortly readying herself, eventually leaving her home. Dabria standing in front the house, her shining smile. The maiden's mind on the dream, soon pushing it out of mind.

"Don't have school today?" Ava folding her arms.

"I do, I was wondering if you wanted to go there together. It might help you find potential points of interest along the way." Her hands behind her back, softly looking at the young woman.

That I could not deny, but I have a feeling she had other plans in mind. No matter, I felt like I had to go with her...

Two different sides of Inai, the day filling with life, the night containing terror. Something more within its vast stream, a dream weighing on the maiden.

That second occurrence, words gripping at her. Another strange point to the town, answers not within her hands. Ava keeping cautious, someone expecting enemies around every end.

"I suppose you make a valid point. Very well, let us go." Slightly looking away.

A sister tackling the shadows, searching for one in the darkness. A promise from old, her words to a boy. Her mind on his last message, fearing for his safety. Someone fighting to survive, trusting in only herself.

Something more coming, her encounter with a bright and strange girl. An innocent person in the horror, a friend in this nightmare. Dabria running up to the young woman's side, looping her arm around Ava's own.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"H—hey! I never agreed to this...I knew you were planning something..." Her strict eyes on the hazel one.

"Was I now? All I think is that we should have fun on the way." Pleasantly pulling the maiden ahead.

This was my fault for agreeing, I will not deny it. Still, why does things feel familiar when I am around her?

A heart in an endless stream, the young woman flowing along its vast space. A person meeting a girl, her strange experiences in their presence. Ava remaining quiet, listening to her joyful friend.

Slightly glancing at her surroundings, noting the same people. Their happy and angry voices, none minding the shifting reality. The two finding their way to Avalon High, some disappointment from Dabria.

"I guess I will see you later." The girl holding her hands behind her back.

"Maybe a bit sooner than you think, I have some research to do here for a while." Ava placing her hand on her waist.

Her expression brightened with those words. I am not sure why, but her nature helps to take off some of the pressure in this town.

Wandering in darkness, a sister searching for one. Their separation long ago, both wishing to return to each other. Wounds forever on the maiden, a last line keeping her together.

Someone clashing against the horrors after the setting sun, running after her younger brother. Another coming into her dark world, a person bringing forward a familiar sensation.

"Then let's head in for now." Dabria's bright smile, her hands to her chest.

A grin from ear to ear, I knew this might be problematic. Yet, it did not hurt to join for a bit.

A spirit yearning to find one, many obstacles in her way. Her encounter with an innocent person in Inai, a girl existing in a place with two different realities.

That girl reaching forward her hand, taking hold of Ava's own. Pulling her onward, the maiden's eyes to them. Two souls eternally burning, wiping away in an endless loop.

Shortly finding themselves in the hallway, sounds from many in this lively place. A student racing forward, her black hair.

The individual grabbing the young woman's hands, Ava's uncertainty to them, seeing their wide smile. Dabria's annoyance, frustratingly tapping her foot against the ground.

"So, this is why you are here. Not from the same school, yet dating Dabria. A daring thing I say." Joy from her.

"Dating her? I would rather play Russian roulette." Disbelief from the maiden.

"Ugh...rude you know." Dabria frowning at the young woman.

I ignored Dabria, and broke the grip from the girl. This place...it is definitely something...

Some confusion from the student, the girl shortly understanding. A person keeping to themselves, blocking out others. The maiden folding her arms, her sharp vision at the individual.

Slightly shifting her gaze to her surroundings, taking in the pleasant area. Shortly moving her vision back to Dabria and her friend, seeing them chatting with one another.

"Say, if you are here by lunch hour, why not join me? I would love to learn more about where you are from." The student smiling at the maiden.

"Hey-hey, she agreed to take me out at that time, Sasha." The lavender one scowling a bit, her hands on her waist.

"Please do not twist this into your deranged fantasy." Ava sighing, covering her face with her hand.

"I do not know what you mean." Dabria gripping her arms, giggling a bit, her slightly red face.

What did I ever do to deserve this? I am simply a caring older sister, and now this girl is not letting up on me.

Constantly tormenting emotions, a sister searching in the darkness. A person yelling into the void, her tears in the lonely abyss. Someone awakening everyday, screaming out.

Eventually finding herself in Inai, a place with many mysteries. Shortly parting from Dabria and Sasha, the maiden making her way down the hallway, soon coming upon the library once more.

The young woman entering into the place, immediately gathering some books. Sitting down at a table, Ava flipping through the pages, writing down some notes.

Her increasing frustration, trying to connect the points. The maiden gripping the side of her head, bracing back in her chair.

"I have no idea how any of this links to this weird town, but there must be some relevance..." Propping her arms behind her head.

A town in ruin after the setting sun, monsters roaming in the night. An unnerving situation to the maiden, a person trying to fit together the purpose in the fragments.

Taking out her phone, looking at her brother's message. Her shaking hand, lowering her head a bit. Her quivering heart, desiring for him to be in her arms again.

A few hours going by, the young woman meeting Dabria and Sasha in the cafeteria. Long tables parallel to one another, a path to gaining food at the front. Ava standing before the two in a corner, this loud area.

"Were you able to find anything?" the lavender one curiously pressing her index finger to her chin.

"Nothing yet. I hate to be rude, but your town is beyond weird." The maiden looking away, her hand on her waist.

"I know what you mean, with how we are not supposed to go out at night. Strange happenings, I can imagine an outsider saying this." Sasha holding her hands behind her back.

"Well, it might be weird. Though, have to admit, weirdness brought Ava and I together." Dabria slightly smiling, blushing a bit, her hand on her chest.

"Can it you..." Some frustration from Ava.

Sasha is right though, I still do not have a reason on the happenings of the night. As well as...I suspect Dabria is merely trying to calm my nerves...
