Hello again my fellow writers and readers! Just like I have promised, I have brought you the sequel. Oddly, I posted it a day early. That's because I just finished typing it, so I decided to post it. To any new readers, please read the story 'A dark change' before you read this one or you might not understand. For those who read the previous story, I apologize for not putting the epilogue. You may still read it in my profile.

Now, just like the last time, chapters may be short and the story could be long or short. I may update after two days, or if I'm busy, a week or longer. For this story, the rating is T, but it may or may not go up to M for violence.

I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 1 – living in the new world, living with the voices

The world was now different. The lava, fires and attacks did more damage than expected….

No Twin peaks. No America.

No more things such as day or night. No sun or moon. Only a bright red ball, as it was now called. It was always in the sky, reminding everyone of how it became like this. The sky had also changed. It was always black with grey clouds, no stars. Just a black sky with grey clouds. There was also no summer, autumn or spring. Just winter. It was always cold with blowing winds. Little vegetation was left. Almost every species of animals was extinct, leaving very few animals. Even people were dying, but many survived.

Food, water and shelter were a problem too. The animals were the only source of food now, but since there were very few left, those who cared for animals would never kill them. Instead, they died of hunger. Those who did not care much about animals would kill them and eat them, which was part of the reason they were becoming extinct. The only water left was ocean water. Shelter….no building had a roof and there were also no buildings, so whether or not you sleep in the house, you'll always feel cold.

13 July 2019

In Amos, the hidden city in Australia, temperatures hit negative 5 degrees. No building was ever seen standing in the small city. Many people slept outside in the cold, wearing old, ripped clothing or if lucky, a blanket. The younger children were in the arms of their parents or older brothers or sisters. It had been like this for years now.

Mordecai was curled up on the ground, shivering as the wind blew. He was not able to fall asleep for the past few days, so he would remain awake. He felt very uncomfortable. Sleeping on the hard ground, no blanket, no warmth. Mordecai would always think about Twin peaks. It was where he met such great friends like Eileen, Benson, Skips, Pops, High five ghost and even Muscle man. It was where he had lots of adventures with them. Now, some of them are dead, the park was destroyed, America was also destroyed and the whole world is suffering. Mordecai kept on blaming himself for all that was done, but he knew it wasn't his fault. It was Silent Killer. Mordecai was just glad that SK was gone now, hopefully forever.

Viper so far could sleep with the cold weather. He was flat on his face as he let out a soft snore. Kelly, who was grunting as she done exercise to keep her mind off the weather, only looked at him. "Kelly, some of us are trying to sleep here." Said Willow, who was lying on her back. Thomas was also trying to sleep. Ever since that monster bit his chest, the wound still hurt. His shirt was covered in his dry blood and he wanted to take the shirt off, but he thought he would freeze without it. "Sorry, but exercise helps keep me warm." Said Kelly. Her voice was a bit muffled from the mask she never took off. As the two girls talked, Viper rose from the ground. He yawned and stretched. He noticed Mordecai. He was still awake and shivering.

"Mordecai, you're awake?" Viper asked, walking towards Mordecai. "Yeah. I couldn't sleep."

"Again? Is it because of the cold weather?"

Mordecai nodded. Viper looked around and saw everyone was awake. "Oh...Well, it does feel a bit cold. Maybe I should make a fire." Said Viper. "With what?" Mordecai asked. "I don-"

CRASH!

An old car came spinning towards Mordecai and Viper, hitting the ground and rolling again, leaving pieces of glass and metal behind it. "Get out of the way!" Viper yelled as he jumped to the other side of the road. Mordecai done the same, making him land on the dirty ground, head first, making it bleed a bit. The car made one more crash before it finally stopped. A yell from inside the car was heard as it landed; showing everyone there is a person inside the wrecked car. Mordecai slowly sat up, groaning as he held his aching head. "Mordecai, are you okay?!" Margaret asked as she rushed over to her friend. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Where did that car come from?" Mordecai asked. Viper stood up, reaching for the knife in his pocket. He held the knife in front of him as he slowly approached the car. Since he was close enough to the car, he poked his head through the broken window to search the car for any survivors. The low red glow of the moon/sun helped him find two bodies inside the car. One body was covered in white, blood stained fur. The body was for a cat. She had long brown hair, ripped black clothes and a small, fluffy rabbit like tail. The other body was for a raccoon. He had brown, blood stained fur and ears which seemed to be cut off a bit. Viper took a moment to look at the bodies before he realized that the bodies were for two people he thought would never come back.

"Rigby! Winter!" Viper yelled as he pulled his unconscious friends from the car, leaving a trail of blood behind them. Mordecai only stared at Rigby as he was pulled out from the car. "Rigby? Rigby!" Mordecai quickly got up and ran to Rigby, followed by Margaret, Kelly, Thomas and Willow.

At this moment, Rigby could only see darkness. He heard a low voice scream his name. "Rigby!" his name echoed in the darkness. "Who's calling me?" Rigby began to hear many more voices.

"Wake up!"

"Oh my gosh, is he dead?"

"He's losing too much blood!"

"Please, don't die. Please."

Rigby could hear all those voices. He knew who each voice belonged to. He needed to wake up.

Wake up…..

Don't give up….

Don't die….please….

Rigby groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He could see figures of people with his blurry vision. "Look, he's waking up!" Screamed Viper. As Rigby's vision slowly came back, he was able to recognize the people that were gathered around him. "Uuuhhhgggg…M-mordecai, is that….you?" He asked in a tiny, weak voice while his eyes looked up to his friend. Everyone looked panicked as they saw a small puddle of blood surround Rigby and Winter. "He's losing a lot of blood." said Viper. "What do we do?! He could die!" screamed Willow. "We don't have anything but cloth to cover his wounds." Said Viper. "But…What about the bleeding?" Margaret asked, fearing that Rigby and Winter could die. "Let's just hope it stops soon." Viper carried Winter and Rigby over to the rest of the people. Mordecai wondered what happened to Rigby and Winter to get injured this badly. Just like his friends, they hoped the two would survive.

5 hours later…..

After five hours of worrying about his friend's health, Mordecai was again trying to fall asleep. He closed his eyes. "Evil…" said a voice. The voice sounded a bit deeper than Mordecai's voice. As he heard it, Mordecai felt cold inside. His eyes shot open and the feeling went. He looked around to see if anyone was talking to him, but no one was. "W-who said that?" Mordecai asked. "Me of course, Mordecai." Said the voice. Mordecai again looked around. "Who are you? Where are you?"
"Inside of you."

Mordecai felt scared as the voice spoke. What did it want with him? Where did it come from? "Look at you. Hiding your real self from your friends. You know this isn't you, so why hide me? Release me and everything will be much better for you." The voice said before it disappeared, leaving Mordecai scared. He didn't know what the voice meant by saying this wasn't him. He was acting like himself right now. Maybe it was just his imagination. Yes, his imagination. So he again closed his eyes, hoping to finally get the sleep he wanted.

…But the strange voice wasn't going to let him go that easily…

…..TO BE CONTINUED…..
