Nine O'Clock

Prologue

"ARIA!" 

Wade keeps on screaming that name as a mysterious woman is floating upwards in the air while she's unconscious. He's clearly confused about what's happening and tries to get some help to pull her down.

"This is not what we envisioned to happen, Aria! What the hell is this?!" Wade whispered as he's solving things out. 

While still slowly ascending, Aria's body is also blinking color violet that obviously made the students surprised who were present at that time. They called the attention of the university's emergency team to pacify the very unusual situation.

"Please help her now because I don't really know what will happen next!" 

As Wade continues to cry out loud, the school's rescuers are setting up a platform so they can grab Aria's feet. When one of the male medical staff finally got her foot, he shockingly became a sticky liquid substance that left the people in awe. 

The students and professors present suddenly freaked out and immediately evacuated the school. Dumbstruck about what just happened, Wade decided to run away as well, but he was astonished when he can't feel the ground and learns that he is also levitating. 

"Oh my God! Please do something, everyone who's still around here! I don't want to die yet!" The scared young man keeps on trampling as he's being pulled up by the air. Wade focused and made a do-or-die decision. He tries to extend his arms to reach Aria, not thinking about what will be the consequence of doing that. 

When he successfully held her toes, Aria suddenly disappeared like a bubble. She just popped out of existence and Wade fell drastically as he stopped floating. 

As the horrific event stopped, the people seem to calm down themselves but were still frightened about what happened to the girl.

"Where are you, Aria?! Come on, please return now!" Wade's words didn't do the trick and left him crying on the campus' ground.

After a few hours, Aria slowly opened her eyes, seeing old model types of jeepneys riding in the streets as she's laying outside of a church.

"How the hell did you end up here in my carton?" A stunned beggar asked her a question as she instantaneously appeared in the middle of nowhere.

Aria responds, "I really don't know. Where the f--- am I?!"
