Revenge of Jack

Revenge Of Jack

Chapter 0 - My Story

Month Ago

"Hey Jack, you better keep moving, people are really impantient today!"

"Yes, of course sir."

Last 3 days were pretty busy for me. I'm working at the grocery shop, as a cashier. People lately were coming in insanely huge amounts, even 30 per hour. My boss had lately problems with family, his 10 years old dauther died week ago, and since that day he have been really harsh for workers. I dont know what i would do if my daughter or my wife would die, so i kinda understand that guy. Anyway, only half an hour more and i'll be heading home for dinner. Eight more guys and three girls came to shop, bought some stuff and left, but except that nobody else came, so i was just looking at the door with hope that nobody else will come.

Finally, 8pm came as i quickly left shop, brushing past Elizabeth and giving her a small smile as she went to take her shift, and went straight to my home. That shop i'm working in is about 2 kilometers from my home, which means i dont need a car to get to it, so i just went throu some empty alleys to finally find my home at the horizon. It was nice, small home with small garden in front of it, light blue walls and some windows with a look at the garden were visible from where i was standing right now. From far away it was looking pretty old, but truth is that this home was build recently, max 2 months ago. My family moved here month ago, after my father died. It's been a bad time for me, but i quickly recovered and decided that it's time to think forward. I'm living here with my eight years old dauther and my twentynine years old wife. I walked throu the front, wooden door to be quickly welcomed by my dauther hug.

"Daddy, daddy! Tommorow me and mom are going to zoo! Are you coming as well?"

"Well Emily, i wish i could, but daddy need to go to work, i'm sorry." I replied.

"Awwwww, you're always going to work!" Sadly, she was actualy right. My work is from monday to sunday, so i barely have a time for her. I kneeled and grabbed her in a hug.

"I'm sorry honey, but this is how it works. If it will make you feel better, i can ask my boss if he will let me go earlier tommorow so i can go with you, but i dont promise anything, ok?"

"Yay! I love you daddy!" She replied happy.

"I love you to honey, now let's go, i'm sure your mom made already dinner"

I let her go and went inside, sit next to my daughter, at the other side of the table my wife, Lilly. She was about 1.74 meters, had short brownish hair, black t-shirt and deep blue pants. Whenever she smiled, my heart melted. My dauther had long black hairs, light pink t-shirt and pink long skirt. She was a little bit chubby, but that wasnt really a problem. After dinner i went to bathroom to clean myself up. While wipping myself, i couldnt help but look at the mirror. I have short, black hair, blue Camisole and black pants. I have a scar at my hand after a small accident back in my father home, but i dont mind it. I'm 25 years old, quite fit due to my three years long military service, and... afraid of being lost. It's a phobia i had since when i was small. I'm always avoiding going into uknowed places, but that is something that's pretty much clashes with my dream of going into world, seeing new places and stuff. Eh, such is life.

I quickly left the bathroom and walked straight into bedroom. Today i've felt quite tired, so i went to sleep early. This night i had a nightmare about a strange snakish monster sliding around my room. It was dark, so i couldnt see what is it exacly, i only knew it was pretty long and thin, so i assume it was some kind of snake. After a while, i could hear a quiet laugh as suddenly everything went bright white. At the same moment i woke up, so i dont even know what caused that. Anyway, i quickly get myself straighten up, ate breakfast and went back to work, only to get surprised... in a bad way.

As i walk in, my boss immediately walked in my direction, looking furious.

"Jack, you're fired!"

...

"What?!"

"You heard me! You! are! fired!"

"But why!?"

"I know everything! You stole from cashbox at least two hundred dolars! You're lucky i'm not going to call police!"

"What?! I didnt do that!"

"Dont lie to me! Elizabeth saw everything! Now get the fuck off my shop, or i'll really call police this time!"

I didnt even wanted to check if he's lying, i just quickly left his shop. I cant believe Elizabeth said that! I know we never liked eachother, but lately we've been doing better! If she was the one who stole this money, i wont be able to say it was her, since our shop dont have any cameras. I've been thinking how my family will take this information, that might be a real problem. I've been in halfway when i suddenly heard and saw a fire truck going the same way as i was going. I've had a bad feelings about this, so i quickened my steps. What i saw was just too much for me. My home, burning, a fire brigade all around it, pouring water. I was stunned. I've never thought this would ever happen. I dont really remember what happend next, but suddenly i was already in front of my house. I'm sure i would go in, but one of fire brigade guys stoped me.

"What are you doing here? This is dangerous, get away!" He said.

"What  is going on!? This is my house!" I replied.

"This is the strangest kind of auto-ignition i've ever saw! By the explanation of neighbors this house just suddenly started burning!"

"What about my wife!? And Daughter!? Are they alive?!"

"I have no idea! If there was some people in this house, i dont believe they would stay alive from that, this fire reaches even forty meters high!"

Now that was too much for me. I kneeled and started to cry, all i could hear is cracking of fire and my sobbing. I think some people from fire brigade was trying to get me away, but i didnt cared. My whole life is now burning. My only, last members of family after my father died are now probably nothing else than ashes. People will later call this day a "Burning Sunday", since biggest fire seen in this city so far was a small campfire in the nearest forest that some teenagers forget to put out. When i came back to my senses, a fire brigade people were dragging me away. All i could do is stay here and watch my world fall apart. I've been here untill fire have been put out, which took them almost two hours. After that, i insantly walked to them to make myself sure if my family was actualy there. I still had a little hope that they werent here or they survived it. As i approaches them, i saw two guys from fire brigade enter my ruined house, probably to search for anyone who would stay alive. Some of them noticed me coming, and started walking towards me.

"I'm really sorry for what happend, mister. My team is now searching throu the house to see if there was anyone in this building"

"How long it would take them?"

"Well, since this home isnt really that big, it would take them max 10 minutes"

I was about to say something, but suddenly these 2 guys walked from this building carrying my dauther. She was all burned, her face scrunched in pain. I could feel some more tears forming in my eyes again. both of them were walking toward us.

"Lucas! We've found 2 girls in this house! One is for sure dead, it looks a cupboard fell at her while home was burning, but there's still a chance for that little girl. My partner already called for ambulance, they will come soon."

"Great, we dont have much time. It looks like she went throu hell, i dont believe she will survive next hour without help."

Ambulance arrived after 10 minutes. At least four guys, two with scretcher and two with some first aid kit stuff at once quickly rushed to Emily. Within 3 minutes, she was already in ambulance, and me with her, driving to the nearest hospital. I cant let her die, she's my last hope. We arrived a little bit later, thankfully my home was near a hospital. Emily ended instantly at the surgery room while i had to wait in a waiting room. I think i've never been so worried as i am today. After what felt like an eternity, two guys walked from surgery room.

"We have done all we could, now we can only wait and see what will happen. About 70% of her body is burned, so we will need periodicaly making a skin transplants. Now she need to rest, she will need this."

I sighed with relief. I was sure she was dead already, but thanks god i was wrong. They will help her, they will heal her, i'm sure... She will survive... she will... she will...

She didnt.

24 days ago

I think i've entirely lost my mind. My friend let me live with him, but i didnt even cared to search for a new job or to find a new wife. My last week was about either drinking or lying. I couldnt stand the fact i've lost everything, this is just too much for me. I think i was already pissing off Simon, since i've been drinking and feeding at his cost. Tonight i went to sleep at almost 2am, i had a problem with sleeping lately. When i finally managed to go to sleep, i've had a really important dream, one that will totally change my life. In this dream i've been in a large, uknowed by me room, with wooden floor and red carpet at the middle of it. There was a table at this carpet, and behind a table that snakeish thing i've saw before, but this time room was fully visible, so i could take a better look. It looks like this snake wasnt a snake at all, it had paws... and claws, and... what the hell? It looks like a mix of random animals, with a head of a... well, i think it was a goat or something, it's actualy hard to say. It was looking rather creepy, but more disturbing was his smile... it was like he knew something i didnt. I've started to walk toward it, untill i was facing it. After a short time  of silence, it spoke.

"Ah, i'm sorry, but i think i didnt introduce myself yet. I am Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony."

"Yeah yeah, whatever. My name is-"

"Jack, i know, but i dont know exacly why you're avoiding using your surname, mister Jack Richard Ne-"

"Dont even say that, or else i'll end with you"

"Jeez, it looks like we have a tough one here, eh? What a shame that your toughness didnt helped you with your family."

"Say something about my family one more time and i'll make you suffer for the rest of your life!"

"Why should you? I'm not the one who did that, but i know who did..."

"Wait, someone did this? and you know who? tell me!"

"Well, this is actualy complicated. It was a person from another realm."

"What?"

"Exacly! You see, there's another realm in this universe, and i'm from this realm. This place is unlikely any you have seen so far! A person, or should i say, a girl who killed your family, who's living in this place is called Celestia. I do believe you want your revenge, but it's not as easy as you think it is. She's the ruler of the land i'm from, not even mentioning that going into another realm is just impossible for someone like you! unless..."

"Unless what?"

"...Unless i will help you! I shall create a portal for you to go into my realm so you could try and face Celestia, but if you want my help, you will need to stick to a few rules."

"...I'm listening."

"Very well! First rule: I'll create a portal, but you will need to get to it first! Teleport shall arive at the Rock Mountain Park in Georgia, at the top of this mountain. You will have to get to it on your feet, without any kind of vehicles. Second rule: You're not supoused to tell anyone about me. If you do so, teleport will dissapear, and you might have a little problem with your memory, just like person you told about me."

"I... I'll do it. I accept these rules."

"Great! Teleport is already on. Nobody can see it except you. Nobody can go throu it except you. This teleport exists actualy only for you, so you dont need to worry. Ah, and one more thing before we're off. You will be able to hear me in your mind, helping you solve some things, and you can asks me questions, just a small bonus from me." He smiled innocently. I know something is wrong, but does it matter? Dreams are crazy, but this one at least was interesting.

I woke up feeling refreshed. I've never felt so good since last few days. My first stop was at bathroom, then kitchen, had a little talk with Simon and then left his home. I've forgot already about this dream... if not one thing.

You still think it was only a dream? That's just funny! **laughs****

No way. It was... real? I would never think it was real if not that. So i accepted offer from a strange freak about traveling throu realms to have a revenge on a ruler of their world? That just seems too fucked up to be true.

Where's fun in making sense, my friend? Our deal is still on, no matter what you think.

Ehhh, i really dont like that, but that... thing is right. I do want my revenge, and i shall do everything to kill that whole Celestia, no matter who she is.

I do believe it's not so easy as it sounds like, Jack. To get even close to her, you will need to stick to her subjects, or else you will never be able to even see her. Rest i will tell you once we will be at the other realm

And so began my journey throu forests and hills, looking for this whole portal. It took me forever to even get to Georgia at first place, and i still had to get to this whole park.

I would never consider things would turn out to be that bad...

Present Time

Fuck! fuck fuck fuck! I've been walking throu these mountains forever, looking for a way to climb on it. This damn park is just ahead, but here i am now, lying and slowly dying, with at least weighing 3 tons rock on my left leg. Discord or whatever it was called was silent for last week, and even now when i'm asking him for help, he dont respond. This is probably my end. I dont even know how it happened. This rock just slid out of nowhere. I tried to dodge it, but i was too slow, and rock fall straight at my leg. Blood slowly flows under it, and i'm twisting from damn huge amount of pain. I wish things wouldnt end like this. I just want to be with my wife and my daughter... i hope i will see them at least in the afterlife...

Sudden flash was all i could see before i fainted.
