I stand up slowly and look around the market trying to look for an entrance, I walk around a bit and finally see a familiar gate
Of course! this is the Scarlet Mini market, I never came here because there wasn't much fun, why did I wake up here
questions wont help right now, I have to find my brother and father, I have to go home
I am getting really tired of all this walking, where is the train station already, I spot a bench by the side of a public toilet and decide to sit on it, whatever germs it has can't be anything compared to what I just survived from , if waking up in the past is called surviving
What if this is just a dream? why didn't I think of that, or maybe this is the afterlife or something because I'm pretty sure I died, couldn't have survived that hit
I stand up and continue to walk toward where I hope was a train station. finally hearing train sounds and people hurrying to get off and get in, I join the crowd in time to stylishly slip in without scanning my citizen card , seeing as how I don't even have it on me. The train finally stops and I get off, this is a familiar place, my home barely 15 minutes from here, I am too tired to make it in that time though. I look around me, the area bustling with activities , neon signs flashing, street lights dancing and marvel at how all these could be gone in a minute, all this energy zapped out by one thing.
I finally get home, I hold my breath in case I open the door to corpses again but there he was , August! I feel a swell of emotions so hard, I run to hug him tightly
"Aurora! what are you doing? Let me go!"
I hug him even tighter because he is still the same August, He's family and I learnt a big lesson already on family
He finally stops pushing me away and just stands there, I finally release him and he practically runs to his room and locks the door. I laugh loudly "I love you too Augustus!" he mutters something unintelligible through his door but I let it go
I am starving! I go to the cooking area and see leftover chicken wings and spaghetti, I bring the plate close to my nose, smells nice, still a bit warm which means my father just left the house in a hurry again
I eat and drink as much as my stomach could allow and head to my room, stopping in front of my mirror I realize I look like I just got dragged out from my grave, my dress is torn at the chest area revealing my not white anymore tank top, there are cuts all over my arms from where i tried to shield my face from the glass and the deep gash on my head from the ...I'd rather not think about that, my face is almost completely covered in dirt and my hair is a in a weird fight with Mother nature, August really doesn't notice a thing does he.
I step into the shower, scrubbing my body thoroughly, the tears start falling really hard and sobs are escaping my lips, I didn't realize how much I was trying to be strong until my body finally relaxed under the shower
What happened that brought me back in time, and why 3 years in the past
Did something happen this year that caused the Apocalypse in 2045, am I supposed to find out, am I supposed to stop it, am I going crazy,
Who am I supposed to talk to about this, I need help, I know for sure the Apocalypse happened, the scars on my body are a proof and the girl from the market...
Am I supposed to find her, what was she doing with it, where was she going with it
Is that how it all started, is she the first contact or was she sent with it
I cry harder, I'm not this type of girl, I am the trouble maker not the solution giver
but I just can't ignore the fact that the world is going to end in 3 years
I have to do something but what?
