Chapter 4: A happy nightmare
Gray: “Wa? How is this…”
Mom: “What's the matter? Come downstairs and eat lunch you can’t sleep in all day.”
Gray: “Okay I’m coming?”
Gray {What the hell? Did I just wake up from a bad dream? It felt so real though, guess it was one of those types of dreams then, I have a better imagination than I thought}
Gray gets his glasses, and some clothes and heads downstairs to go eat food with his Parents.
Mom: “You look upset... Did I wake you up from a good dream or are you sad that you have to go back to school tomorrow”
Gray: "Oh yeah I forgot I have school tomorrow, and I guess it was a cool dream..."
Mom: “That's nice.”
Dad: Let's stop talking about dreams and talk about real life. Did you do anything at school, Girls you like, or plans with friends!?"
Gray: “Nah if there was one I liked she probably wouldn’t like me back and my friends were gonna hang out on Halloween in a week.”
Dad: "You gotta be more confident in yourself man! Can’t act like a loser, shoot your shot! It’s how I got your mom."
Mom: “You “got” me because I asked you out, I thought you’d never ask me but you can tell the story how you like it I guess.”
Dad: “Oh yeah my bad, but still, you can’t keep walking around all lonely and depressed get something more productive to do."
Gray: “All I do is play games, and watch TV while I talk to my friends online, basically what you do all day just without the friend part..”
Dad: “Cheeky little… Well fine just stop looking all sad and stuff, look you’re smiling right now”
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Mom: “Leave him alone, he’s fine, he’s not overconfident and he’s funny”
Gray: “Got my number one supporter and my number one hater in one room!”
Mom: “You do seem to be in a happier state than yesterday when you went on that walk."
Gray: “Walk..?”
Gray goes into a bit of a panic, getting flashes of the truck hitting him.
Dad: “Yeah when you killed yourself for no reason leaving us to deal with it, you couldn't even bother to leave a note or anything.”
Gray: “WHAT THE HELL? What are you talking about?”
Mom: “Don’t play dumb you little selfish bastard!”
The parent's voices and tone started to go deeper and darker as their appearance started to get foggier like a cloud, and before Gray could notice the whole room was a misty black except for a woman-looking figure standing in front of him.
Gray: “Waa... WHAT THE HELL!’
Woman in black: “Ugg you got a visitor you should wake up now.”
Gray jolts awake, noticing Rosemary trying to wake him up
Rosemary: “*Whispers* Gray wake up."
Gray: “*Whispers * what… what’s wrong.”
Gray is confused when Rosemary begins to talk with a voice filled with fear, only fear.
Rosemary: “I don’t know how but it’s the Sect, they are here outside, Soku is getting a weapon upstairs you need to run outside through the back door quickly with Ophelia.”
Gray: “The sect? THE SECT OF ANARCHY? THOSE CULTISTS DUDES! Hell no I’m not leaving you guys to battle them! I can fight too!”
Rosemary: “I don’t care if you…"
She gets interrupted by the front door opening to show a figure coated in the shadows. The figure walks in as Rosemary and Gray are frozen in fear, though he looks small like a child or a pre-teen wearing a black cloak bigger than his body being dragged behind him, the only thing on his face is a plain white mask with the eye holes blacked out like sunglasses.
Gray: “…. Um hey can you leave please...”
The boy in the cloak: “Leave? No, no, no, no not without you, my superior has informed me to pick you up and take you home!"
Gray assumes the child is male because of the tone of his voice.
The boy in the cloak: “MY NAME'S JEREMIAH, NICE TO MEET YOU SIR... I apologize if I’m wrong but that golden hair… are you perhaps a part of the “Golden Knights faction?”
Rosemary: “And what if I…”
Gray cuts her off.
Gray: “NO! She’s not with them, she's with me … I knew you guys were coming so I was just chilling here!”
The boy in the cloak: “OH REALLY… THAT’S Wonderful! Now come on, let us leave them.”
Gray walks up to the boy sweating and panicking due to fear. He bows to the boy and bends his leg back into the air.
The boy in the cloak: “Um what are you…”
While the boy is speaking, Gray swings his leg forward putting all his strength into a kick!
The boy in the cloak is surprised, but from under his cloak, a black claw-looking appendage grabs Gray and swings up into the wall!
Gray: “BEHIND YOU! ROSEMARY MOVE!”
Rosemary sees a taller member of the Sect trying to stab her with a dagger! Rosemary dodges, then from the upstairs balcony a blast of wind strikes down hitting the cultist. Then Rosemary pulls mana from her chest, her OD sends a bright gold aura around her body like a flame. There is a noise that is heard after the flame has fully coated her body sounding like a “ click” and she hits the cultist sending him flying backward and knocking him out. Soku drops down to the first floor beside Rosemary with a small thick sword ready to attack Jeremiah. Then with everybody ready to fight other than Gray who is still being held against the wall unable to get the arm off of him. Rosemary flows more mana around her making a second click noise and Soku flows mana around her pulling in the wind. Jeremiah lets nine more arms flow out of his cloak, though they aren't very long. They start to combine, eight short, thin arms become four big and strong ones. He has one of them go under him lifting him into the air only slightly. With everybody ready, this BEGINS GRAYS SECOND FIGHT IN ANOTHER WORLD!
