Lost

When we got to the room we were staying, the room was neatly beautiful. I had a reason to say that the city was close to Hell, but how they designed the room we were staying in made it look like we at heaven. I noticed that one of the people was counting how many we were, but when I noticed his presence, he ran.

Furthermore, I followed him, and we got a dead end, there was no more way to run to. When he turned, he was scared, and I could see it in his eyes, but the anger in my body could not allow me to see his true self. The anger in my soul made me a great, undefeatable beast.

I wanted to leave him, but the anger raging through my soul was unable to let me. The anger that my long-lost friends threw me away like I didn't exist and loved the new guy. I could see Kai's face, as I grabbed the man by the neck. I was about to rip it off when Peter threw a stick at me. Not only that, but I got more angry and threw the man away. The man broke his backbone and his left hand because he landed on it.

Peter was not scared because he thought he was facing the old James. He did not know that I had allowed my fear and my hates full my head, and the fearful James was nowhere to be found.

Peter roared at him, trying to warn him that he did not want to hurt him. But James just did not want to understand the message, the message was supposed to make him quit the fight. Instead, James attacked unexpectedly. He lifted Peter off the floor and threw him, and Peter landed on his back.

Peter got angry and fought back, but he was not as strong as James, their friends could notice that James was stronger and very fearless. James was about to kill him until the time suddenly paused, she was the one again and I pray she helped us this time.

The lady helped them defeat James, but she was badly injured, and she was so weak that she was dying at a very fast rate, her glowing blue hair started turning black. Peter got more angry and ripped James' head off his body while he was on the floor.

The whole crew was shocked, even the time lady, her second most perfect, was gone. They thought he was faking his death that he was waiting for the perfect time to rise, but he didn't, he was dead.

The entire team was surprised and scared, Peter said after ripping his head off,

“We don't need him, he was slowing us down, remember that the great war ahead”.

Mary helped the time lady up, she could sense the anger Mary was feeling. After all what had happened, Kia said,

“I know a way you can do without getting James to calm you.”

Mary was shocked and confused, she wondered why they wanted him off the team, she thought the way Peter had been behaving to her might be part of the reason. He was more very caring, like I was the only one on the team, she could sense he was in love with her. She was also in love with him, but she preferred to be with James.

James' body was left in the cold, his body was freezing. I would have just come back to life as the time lady has said, but there was a poison in Peter's claws that would have killed any type of dark creature, but it didn't kill me. Instead, it delayed my time of returning to life. When I finally returned, I was in the middle of nowhere, I was shivering due to the cold and I could not see anyone pass, I was all alone in the middle of the unknown. At that point, I remembered my friends and I burst into tears, I heard a voice:

“Son, you can't give up now, you have to get to the end of this street, so you can return to the human world.”

“I have no business there again. All my friends have betrayed me, and I am tired of life itself. It's sweet to be dead, paradise at last.”

“Son, you want to waste all your years just because of a moment of sadness.”

I could not give her a quick answer because something took me back to the past. And all those cool and special memories that I could no longer remember played like I was watching a TV. Then she said,

Once you are here, all those memories fade. No love or hate here, it is just your soul moving to and fro, nothing to make you laugh. So don't let your memories fade away, fight for it son fight for it.

Her voice faded, and I saw souls happy on my right side, and on the other side I saw sad souls. The sad souls were in the dark, they had no memories, but the happy ones had their memories to make them laugh, cry and to remember that they were on Earth.

I could not tell where that energy came from, I broke through the ice and I began the journey to the end of the Street. Then later I noticed that there was a timer, so I started running just to get to the end before the timer was done.

Furthermore, I was late. The timer was remaining just 2 minutes to end, and I was far from the end. I allowed the cold to take me and I joined the dark souls, no memories.

But there was this one memory that refused to leave, though it was not clear because I was still young, but I could still see it. It was the day my mum was buried, tears rolled down my eye and that memory kept on playing like it was on replay. I cried at every time it played, each time for different reasons.

At first, I cried because she was gone.

Secondly, I cried because she refused to say goodbye.

Thirdly, I cried because she had to pass on the sickness.

Fourthly, I cried because I missed her.

And the fifth reason was that I loved her and did not want her to go.

Who are you? Don't you have someone you love, someone who needs you? You have countless people who care for you, you have to return to them.
