The night sky, that’s all she could see around her as she ran from whatever that monstrosity was chasing her. The feeling and emotions it radiated as it gave chase, galloping after her: Malice, Envy, and endless Loneliness. Stopping to catch her breath, hoping she was safe from whatever that nightmare was.
The woman in question had pale skin, midnight black hair that shone blue in the twinkling light provided by the stars above and dark blue eyes to match. She was in her early thirties and she seemed to radiate something mystical, as if she ruled the night sky itself.
She looked around finally having the opportunity to do so since she first found herself in whatever this place was. There was nothing but the grey lifeless ground around her for miles, no buildings, no light bar from the countless stars in the pitch black sky, everything around her was lifeless, silent and at that moment she realised she was all alone here…She couldn’t help but wonder…
“…Why?” She asked herself, “Where am I?”
“…The moon…” A masculine voice spoke from behind her, “…We’re on the moon.” The voice answered with a hint of sadness. “To be honest I’m surprised to find you here, but then again I should have figured you’ll find yourself here eventually.” She turned around facing the source of the voice, in front of her stood a man who looked like he was in his forties. He was dressed in dark jeans and a simple looking jacket, he also wore a pair of black knee high boots with some sort of shin guards attacked them and a matching pair of gloves with an odd glowing pattern on the back of his hands. A black hood hid most of his features making it hard for her to read his expression.
“The clocks ticking and there isn’t a thing you can do about it so don’t worry.” He said simply, “I know what’s happening so don’t worry, I know everything that you’ve forgotten so don’t you worry…it isn’t your fault, nothing is…you aren’t here by choice so I can’t blame you.” He said reassuringly.
“…?” She was speechless, “You know why I’m here?” He simply nodded and pointed over the horizon. An impossibly colossal planet like object rose into view; she fell back in terror as it filled the sky.
“That is what brought you here, and is also what is causing the changes down on the earth below.” The hooded man explained, “But in the end it’s only part of the problem…”
“The memories?” She asked: He nodded in response.
“That nightmare that was following you, was the other part of the problem and sadly I seem to be causing some of the damage myself just by being here.” He answered her: She looked confused, sighing he continued. “Both of us are out of place of where we are originally from, in your case this only seems to be temporary as the earth will soon become like your own home.” He pointed down at the green and blue planet below them, floating silently in sea of stars. “One by one the people of this planet will become like the people of your own world and there isn’t a thing we can do to stop it. The changes in everyone’s memory is my own doing to protect them from all this, you know how they say ignorance is bliss right?” She just nodded in confusion, “I didn’t want this to happen again, not after what happened to my own home.” She noted there was a hint of anger in his voice, “That thing will eventually wake up again and I will damn well make sure that when it does it won’t get another world!” She watched as he reached out and made a grabbing motion with his hand, as he did the planet like object shattered like glass and slowly began to vanish.
“What did you do?” She asked him, wondering what he just did.
“I sent it to where the weeping angels now rest.” He said simply, “Look from where I stand what has happened to the people of this planet can’t be undone and it will continue until everyone has changed, but at least this time I could stop the monsters before they could even arrive.”
She stood there watching him for a few moments in complete silence, confused as to what he was talking about.
` “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure you’re just as confused as the countless people watching us right now. What I did and as for who I am is another story entirely, but I can I ask you to do two things for me?”
“Y-Yes what is it?” She asked him.
“I want you to help the people through all this, as many as you can and secondly…” He paused, “…I need you to wake up.” Everything faded in a bright light.
“N-No, please tell me who I am…Please!!” She begged as everything around her vanished, the hooded man turned to face her as he too vanished from sight.
“Sorry it isn’t may place to say…” He said simply, “I’m just a fading memory, I can’t say anything more than that…” She found herself alone again.
Serena bolted up in cold sweat, she looked around in a panic for the hooded man but there was no sign of him…it was just her, alone in her own apartment. Every night for as long as she could remember it was always the same dream, always the same man.
It haunted her, but she did what she could to get by doing her best to ignore the strange dreams. Looking at her alarm clock, she decided getting out bed and heading into bathroom for a refreshing shower was the best idea she could do to get her mind of that obscure dream.
She needed to get ready as she had a train to catch soon anyway…
Author's Note
I'm not going to say anything other than this,
"Reality is not how you percieve it, but rather how you remember it. Everyone will see something that another won't and from that shape there own story."
And by the way if this doesn't make any sense to you and you may think this chapter came out of nowhere...well that was kind of the point of this chapter...
-SPassion out.
