Chapter 1
"There still there" she says holding her arm the blood trickling down a large hole where some of her arm should be she continues walking down the path the woods covering most of the area the small dirt road barely seen in the dark, the rain and fog didn't help she could barely stand straight. Grunts and groans from behind her she flinches as if attacked and runs down the path the grunts turn to growls as the footsteps behind her turn into the pitter patter of thirty or so feet hitting the ground at a quickening speed. the road turns to the right but she can't see the turn off and goes off the edge into a tumble down the hill. Before she hits the forest floor she feels a sharp pain in her side she gags as she hits the forest floor hard. Her arm is in tatters worse than before she barely stands up stumbling forward "I'm almost there" she says quietly taking a few more steps before she hears the grunts and groans behind her again.
She becomes pale managing a quick walk forward tripping over herself a few times she manages to get to the thickness of the trees going in between two trees that were about her size hands fire after her not reaching far enough to grab her. She can here them growling trying to get through the small gap but to no avail she figured they were two big to fit through she looks around the tree lines. She manages to spot a city thats just sits in front of her, a normal large city. Cars headlights shine through the fog and rain a few men stood there talking to each other laughing she runs over screaming "help " she yells the men stop laughing looking over in shock to see the girl there with the blood trailing from her arm. "I need help those things in the forest they took my friends I need your- " she stops her eyes wide someone walking behind them coming right at them grinning he's holding a...Before the thought finishes the blade slices through the men ripping them apart she goes to run away but something grabs her from behind their claws digging into her shoulders.
A grin sits still on the mans face the blood trickling from his blade he turns his attention to the girl who begins to cry he grabs her by the arm the one that barely remained on her person. Kicking her to the floor he grabs the arm pulling up she screams out in pain as she hears the skin and muscle rip the already broken bone shattered as he rips it from her socket the blood gushes out the girl turns pale dazed he grabs her by her hair dragging her back towards the woods "no I don't think you've had enough fun yet" he says chuckling she looks back seeing the grins on the creatures faces as they back up into the forest her eyes go wider than ever screaming and kicking with the little strength she had left her shouts weren't loud enough to drown out the mans singing as he tosses her into the woods "enjoy" he chuckles as he hears the screams and the ripping of flesh some of the blood firing from the woods onto his face he sighs licking it off "delicious as always" he says walking into the woods to get his share of dinner, her hand still up in the air she screams one last time for help.
There eyes shoot open there body springs to life they scream looking around franticly for any sign of danger they sigh standing up "why is it that dream" they say quietly walking forward they stop in front of a mirror a old pair of jeans on a pair of tired blue eyes staring back there brown hair scrambled around over there head as if a tornado had hit them. Grabbing a shirt from the desk next to the laptop they walk into the bathroom yawning they turn on the shower opening the medicine cabinet and grabbing a toothbrush and tooth paste the put the tooth paste on quick putting it back in the cabinet. They take of there pants tossing them to the side and hopping in they brush quickly thinking to themselves 'so your transferring? Their head bobs up at the memory as they rinse of the brush in the water. 'yeah I am my headaches are coming back and I called my doctor he said I shouldn't be stuck in a cool place like this so I'm going to a city I've already rented out a room at the complex's next to the school' a laugh 'so you gonna send me a gift ? 'why would I send you a gift how about you give me the money you owe me' another laugh 'well I guess you don't have to send me anything just write alright?
Synch with the words in their head they reply "yeah" they toss the toothbrush on the bathroom counter rinsing off the rest of the way before hopping out pulling on a different pair of pants as they look the boxes sitting next to the door "looking at it like this I don't own much" they say with a sigh "but I've never been a person for the classier things but it be nice to know I didn't call people in for no help. As if on cue there's a knock on the door with a smile they walk over opening the door "hey " they say with a smile at the group "I've always wanted to know where you lived didn't expect this" they look around the apartment shrugging "I don't have much" they say walking over and grabbing a black shirt "is it cold out there" they asked "yeah it is you have the address right" they nod grabbing a dark jacket and pulling a piece of paper from its pocket tossing it to them they catch it looking at the piece of paper "alright well send the rest to you in a few days " they nod handing them the keys and grabbing a backpack next to the boxes "you know I can ship it right?
Before getting a straight answer their shown the time they panic hopping over the boxes and running down the stairs "goodbye" they yell as they run towards the waiting cab. "Your running late" they look up "John" they ask confused "yeah I'm a cab driver I lost my job after that incident. They start laughing "shut it your at fault for what happened " he says growling they nod "I apologized didn't I? John stops scowling smiling himself "right you did this is the last time I'll be seeing you so" he tosses a package into the back as he drives "what's this? John sighs "its a coupon" they look at John confused "what kind" they ask John shakes his head "it was a joke this is a goodbye gift you idiot" they shrug putting it into their bag. The cab stops in front of the station "remember third stop your flight leaves in the morning remember that say your last goodbyes and don't get sympathetic on me I don't need to come pick you up again because you missed your flight. They're already off when the car comes to a complete stops jogging backwards and nodding to everything he was saying when he finishes they turn back around and fire off towards the train.
"Ticket" the man in the blue uniform says they nod grabbing it and showing it he nods letting him on "thank you" they say walking over to the cart door opening it they head in. The group inside doesn't acknowledge their pressence most are asleep or reading they walk over to an empty seat setting their bag under and sitting down themself. A few hours pass in silence before they realise it moring become mid day they open there bag taking out the hand book they were sent when they applied for the school, slowly they flip through the pages reading carefully trying to memorize the rules. "rule one you shall not be late for class if you are you shall be punish accordingly by said teacher you were late to" simple enough they thought to themself going over the next rule "rule two you shall not show up to your class without your uniform if you do your teacher will send you to the nurses office to change into a used one left there" gross but makes sense it'll stop people from showing up without it.
They flip the page going to look at the next rule but someone says something to them as they flip through the page "um excuse me can I sit here" they loook up seeing someone with the emblem from the front of the handbook they nod "your transfering there as well? They nod "thats great glad to know I won't be transfering in at a weird time" a sigh of relife fill there lungs flying from there mouth with a unknown or unotice type of grace. "So why are you transfering to this school? They shrug 'no reason to give personal information to someone I just met right? "Well I'm transferring there because my mother got transfered there ended up caught in the whole thing" they nod "seeing as well be going to the same school" they extend there hand "Alex's" the boy in the uniform says with a smile they look at there hand shrugging "Aaron" he says calmly going back to reading the handbook.
Alex continuously talks to him not allowing Aaron to really focus on what he was doing as a sign of submission he closes the handbook putting back into the bag and listening to Alex as he talks about what he thinks it'll be like 'he's not bad but I'm not that active right now I guess in a way he's a ray of sunshine if you could call me down cast' he chuckles at his thoughts making Alex stop "whats so funny? Aaron shakes his head lifting his hand "no its fine I was just thinking of something" Alex nods his curiosity not completly satisfied "what about? 'Another question really' Aaron thinks with a sigh "um well I was thinking how much of a ray of sunshine you were making me look like a downcast in the middle of Agust " he smiles triumphantly as if he had won something Aaron shrugs going back to looking outside the window "doesn't it really dark for mid day? Aaron hadn't thought about it he always in he motion like he's not even there he shrugs at Alex question "I guess but then again where going to a city I thought it was darker in cities right? Alex shrugs "I wouldn't know I've never been to one you" Aaron shrugs 'another question' his brain says Aaron sighs at his own thought he's never been this down trot but he was leaving alot of people behind so it had a bit of keen sense on him.
The train stops for the second time one more before the final destination "do you think anyone else will be joining our little group? Aaraon look at Alex confused "little...group? Alex smiles nodding "yeah you and mean" Aaron sighs "that doesn't really quallify as a group does it" he nods "so I guess we wait till there's one more right" he says with a smile Aaron didn't know why but he like the kindness Alex showed even it was a little unethical he did just meet the guy and vise versa and he already wants to start a little group it was weird to him. "Read what you were readding before I'll pull out mine as well so if someone just got on and is in our school they'll know its ok to sit. The way those two look Aaron satus of asorbed in the words and falling into the abyss of dreams was amazing as he leaned back one hand holding the book up as he yawned while Alex did the opposite his eyes darting around wanting to welcome another to there little group his eyes almost never making contact with the book itself.
People are still getting on but its been a few minutes already "you giving up" Aaron ask him as Alex puts his book away Alex shakes his head "nope I forgot I was wearing the uniform I can walk back and forth someone might catch this emblem and follow" 'the logic behind that is sound' Aaron thinks shrugging giving a supportive smile "good luck partner" a shine enters Alex eyes he nods giving a thumbs up with a smile "you got it partner" he says speed walking through the cart "I guess that gives me a chance to read the rest of this " Aaron says looking through it quickly without really looking up "is this seat taken? 'Another one' Aaron thought to himself lifting his hand and patting the seat next to him they sit down next to him they must have notice the bags on the other side because they tap him on the shoulder "who's bags are those a friends? He nods he had no issues with Alex other than he was a bit to happy for his taste he closes the handbook putting it away "yeah Alex he's a student at the school I'm transferring to" he says looking up seeing the emblem on there shirt "your going there as well? They nod "yeah I just got transfer actually got kicked out of my last school" he looks at them nodding "your not gonna ask why? Aaron shrugs not seeing the interest in prodding they grin smacking them on the back "thanks man not many people leave it at that Jason" he says extending his hand "your a lot more lively than I thought you were Jason" Aaron says taking his hand.
The train seems to stop as it hits a tunnel for some reason "what's going on? Jason stands up Aaron sighs following Jason example and walking out of their seats "check the back I'll ask the conductor what's going on" Aaron says walking "wait" Aaron looks back Jason walks up to him extending his arm in a fist "bump it" he says with a grin" Aaron nods pounding the fist Jason nods firing off in his direction Aaron looks at his hand smiling as he walked "bump it huh. Aaron opens the cart door looking around it was dark the seats abandon a red light blinking outside the train quickly Aaron took a few steps forward before he heard a scream in front of him he hears something fire forward breaking through the air in the cart sparks flying as it hit everything he dunks rolling forward he looks the bars and the tops of the seats are cut to pieces he feels his leg giving away he wants to scream but another scream from behind him its lower than before he can make out a faint figure he knows he won't be able to jump over it he fires forward sprinting towards the door.
The screaming doesn't stop behind him catching up the sparks from the seats as the creature collides with them he reaches the door pulling it trying to open it why won't it open he slams against it hearing the creature as it gets closer he runs back a bit close he can see the beast eyes glimmer as he goes into it range it slashes out Aaron runs dunking under the slashes and ramming the door. It opens as he rams it making him go tumbling into the other cart he looks the creatures to big to get through he sighs with relief 'if that door hadn't been open I would have fell off the train and gotten crush or worse' he leaves his thoughts looking at the creature who still stares at him. Another scream in front of him instinct takes over he dunks looking over he sees someone running "Alex" Aaron ask confused Alex bumps into him knocking him back over and closer to the door the creature begins to stir slamming against the door frame. "No not another one" he screams Aaron shakes Alex trying to calm him down "get a hold of yourself we need to get to the front of the train to tell the conductor that there's something on the" Alex shakes his head "I went up there they got inside they ate him rip him apart and ate him everyone in the front carts they drag everyone to the front I hid under one of the seats they didn't see me but one of the people did they beg me for help" he lowers his head shaking it "dammit snap out of it" he smacks Alex across the face.
Alex sits there for a moment not sure what happened "listen to me I don't have time to mess around Alex is anyone else alive? Alex looks at him nodding "alright partner" Alex eyes shine again as Aaron stands up with a smile "we find them get out of this tunnel and make our way to the police I meet someone already there searching the back I'm hopping there okay but" he lowers his head Alex gives a weak smile "alright partner I'll show you where I saw the people " Aaron nods following him. They go up at least two carts Aaron wonders why, like reading Aaron's mind Alex's turns around "any closer and they'll smell you four others made it out one of them came forward one more since the creatures are three away from here but they smelled him demolished the cart and almost came over here thats when I panicked. Aaron nods walking over to the door "we can't go the way we went and the ladder is up " he says pointing to the ladder high up "we might as well search off the train" he says Alex nods hopping off and following him.
The scene outside the train was like a movie production the train was fine but the tunnel seem to have collapsed except for two holes where the train sat two weird locks held the train in place a stair case leading to a platform with a door on it claw marks and blood covering the door. "We should check around the tracks first maybe someone else got out they might have drop something that can help us" Aaron says still keeping his calm 'can't fall apart Alex he'll collapse with me' he shakes his head looking at Alex who smiles weakly at him again he nods "check the back I know you don't want to be close to those things so I'll go up there" Alex look at Aaron as he turned away his entire body was shaking Alex bites his lip running off in his direction. Aaron kneels down walking past the broken windows a hand dangles by the glass he lowers himself to avoid it he starts looking around not seeing anything special he stops when he sees something clutch in another hand he sees the body laying against the train as they seem to cling onto whatever in there hand there entire hand and chest burnt into ash that barely stayed together. Aaron walks over grabbing it "a book" he says the small black book had blood covering it. Aaron opens the book to the page held by a bookmark a small key falls out attach to the book mark he picks it up "maybe it goes to the door" he says quietly.
A scream he looks up one of the barely visible creature trying to climb out the window Aaron looks around grabbing a large dagger looking piece of glass cringing in pain as the glass digs into his hand he runs over to the window stabbing it the creature screeches falling back into the train Aaron looks they're not going after him there attacking the other one for some reason he looks at the blood covered piece of glass still stuck in the creatures head 'was it my blood? He shook his head no time for question he ran back towards Alex who was digging through some of the debris "hey Alex" he flinches at his name being called turning around he sighs with relief seeing Aaron standing there he looks him up and down stopping at his hand the blood trickling from it "what happen did they bite you? He shakes his head "I use a piece of glass to attack one it seems like these things like our blood and will attack anything that smells like them including there own " he shakes his head in confusion "but I was bleeding as well why wouldn't they attack me? Alex thinks about it "tell me exactly what happen " Aaron sighs explaining quickly "I see dominance maybe you obvious won maybe they saw you as a threat and went after the easier prey.
Aaron sighs walking over to the stair case "you said they left the train I think they might have gotten locked in that room at least two of them" he says "I found one of the other's they were dead clinging onto the book " he says showing the book "interesting I've never seen that kind of leather before" Alex touches it falling back screaming Aaron jumps not understanding what was wrong "Alex what's wrong" Alex looks at the book still holding his hand like it was on fire "how can you hold that" he ask Aaron looks at it shaking his head "I don't know its a book I use my hands" Alex shakes his head "no the book when I touched it I thought my arm caught on fire no thats wrong it was on fire there's no way it wasn't "shouldn't leave it" Aaron says "it burnt me" Alex yells "it might burn the creatures if they make contact with the book then" Aaron says "the person holding it was burnt to death" he says "see that what I mean the things dangerous " Aaron sighs "I'm not burnt come on partner I need you to be calm" Alex breaths in then out. " Ok keep it just don't touch me with it okay? Aaron nods putting the book under his belt so it stay "alright come on lets go.
Aaron walks over to the door shaking the handle "won't budge " he says "you want to try the key? Aaron nods taking it from his pocket and putting it into the key hole the door falls open a large hallway some pipes lay on the ground steam coming from some of the high pipes Aaron looks at Alex "I think we should find Jason first" Alex nods "that might be for the best" Aaron goes to say something but someone screams Aaron turns around another scream like the creatures "fuck Alex keep the door open" Aaron says grabbing a pipe and charging in. Aaron listens to the foot steps taking a left 'what am I doing ' Aaron thinks to himself "don't worry I'm coming" he screams 'coming for who someone you don't even know turn around we don't have to do this' "say something I need to know where you are" he yells again he hears a scream to his right he jumps rolling he slides he sees the figure better in the steam it looks at him three different heads on it all human like a black gunk falling from its mouth. Aaron doesn't take much more time looking at it running into another hallway another scream "I'm coming" Aaron screams 'I won't make it' he says inside he hears footsteps he hits one more corner falling back his eyes widen in horror one of the creatures stood there blades stuck in a mans throat he punches out at the thing failing. The creature tilts it head as if curious then without waring bites into his throat the mans eyes widen his kicking slowly stopping another scream Aaron looks seeing someone sitting next to the man and creature.
Aaron eyes widen as the creature turn towards the person on the floor they crawl away from the creature Aaron clenches the pipe getting up 'I have to save them' he runs forward the creature not taking its eyes off the person on the floor it opens it mouth going to scream Aaron takes the pipe shoving it down the creature throat blood pours out it goes to scream but it sounds like a gurgle Aaron panics grabbing the persons hand and running. "Alex's where are you? No response Aaron grimaces "who are you" he looks behind him the woman wore a type of suit with a gray skirt "someone on the same train" Aaron says thats it they were strangers everyone one of them no matter who it was they had probably only known each other for a few moments not adding family's and Co-Workers. "Aaron" Alex voice rings through the hallways Aaron stops running looking around "Alex's" he yells out no response "why'd we stop" he looks back the woman was panting 'not the best runner then? Aaron thought pulling a small smile "I heard a friends voice their waiting by the door if we can follow the voice we can make it back to the entrance not get killed by whatever theses things are.
Another screaming sound the two look back the steam coming from the roof showing a mass of bodies heading towards them "there that many" Aaron says turning towards Alex voice "I think its this way" he says he runs not checking to see if she followed he couldn't if he had stop for a moment he have died with her. He stops again the screaming subsiding footsteps behind him he sighs looking back to see her running up "your checking for his voice again? He looks at her confused "I thought you didn't hear it" he says she shakes her head "I figured it was someone else lost in here with these things if he still at the entrance try to hear him I can hear them screaming still" she says he looks behind him in the distance you could see the sparks in the dark from their blades hitting the walls and pipes. He turns towards her nodding "alright" he says "Alex's" he yells again trying not to make it sound like he was more panicked then the situation would have it be. For a moment no response then a yell "Aaron your still alive? 'Was me surviving that much of a surprise to him? Aaron sighs lifting his hand up as he took steps towards the voice "yeah I'm still here how's things on your end" the response doesn't take as long as before "their not leaving the train so I'll be fine" he says Aaron sigh's with relief "alright where coming just keeping yelling" he says.
Alex voices starts shooting towards them the same 'over here' over and over again "he does know he doesn't have to yell words right? Aaron looks back shrugging "I don't know maybe" the two look the door its right there Alex waves towards them still standing there. A feeling off happiness washes over Aaron he starts laughing walking forward then running "were almost out" he says the woman nods she's goes to say something but a giant screech fills the hallway instead a figure drops between the two and he door glaring at the two "they've been waiting for us" the woman ask confused Aaron looks back going to say lets make a break for it but he sees the sparks behind them he stops looking at the creature then at Alex "the pipes" Aaron says Alex looks at them nodding he walks over slowly as the creature takes step towards Aaron and the woman Alex grabs a pipe 'its about to lunge' Aaron thinks to himself quietly 'if I miss or Alex can't get it to me were fucked. Aaron looks over to Alex who going for the throw the creature lowers it self going to fire forwards Aaron nods Alex chucks it the pipe going flying towards Aaron the creature screeches firing toward Aaron grabs the pipe smacking the creature across the head it hits the wall Aaron looks back at the woman his eyes telling her to go she nods running past the creature. Aaron pushes the pipe deeper into the creatures skull but its not giving "can you kill it? Aaron shakes his head at Alex question "there getting closer if your gonna run this is your only chance.
Aaron looks at the two and the door closing his eyes he bites his lip "close it" he growls "wait Aaron" Alex stops himself seeing the pipe cracking "close the fucking door don't let them out! Alex jumps at Aaron sudden scream closing the door Aaron looks at the creature then at the map on the wall pushing it in one more time then running back the sparks turn into flesh and blades the screams turn to screeches and failed attempts to dismember the boy. Aaron hits a corner before most can hit looking he sees the wave of them begin pouring into his hallway he growls in spite of himself taking the time to look around. Aaron fires left taking a right then going straight 'the corridors ' Aaron starts 'they all look the same. He doesn't hear the screeching as loud but there getting close "the map said there was a way out here" he says taking a right he stops seeing rubble closed up the exit and exit sign hanging there to taunt him he bites his lip turning around he hears screeching coming from the three hallways around him "they surrounded me? He ask himself confused "how long have I been running in here" he says looking around the hallway "an air duct" he says grabbing one of the pipe he screams out in pain letting go they where hot to the touch he looks at his burnt has shaking his head he pulls of his shirt using it to climb the pipes.
There where no screws on the vents grate you could just pull it up if you could get past the burning pipes he could almost reach it his upper body was covered in burns by the time he pushed up the vent and climbed in he looks down seeing the creatures looking around in confusion they smelled the pipes screeching out in pain as they touched it "so your not invincible? Aaron chuckles to himself slowly climbing through the ventilation shaft he stops his body won't stop trembling "dammit" he says laying flat the burns increase in pain as he lays there but he doesn't care anymore he's tired he just wanted to give up. He forces his body up climbing forward slowly "why me" he says quietly "I didn't do anything so why'd this happen to me leaving was bad enough but now all this? He growls shaking his head "I'll survive to spite this to win this whatever it is" his crawl growls and he fires through the vents looking for the exit "we can't lock it he's got the key" Alex voice rings in the air vents Aaron flips directions following the voice to one straight away. He kicks open the air vent "better dying fighting then stuck in a hole like a rat" he growls hopping out.
"Aaron! Aaron looks up seeing Alex and the woman "I'm glad I picked the right" he stops falling against the wall "idiot the fact your standings a mircale" the woman walks over "we need water" she says "what water? She nods "something to rehydrate his body he's been burnt pretty badly as well do you have anything? Aaraon shakes his head "I'm fine I'm fine" she pushes him back against the wall "stay there me and him will look ok. Aaron shakes his head "those things are around here " he grabs one of the pipes 'Alex must have grab this one to block the door. Aaron thinks to himself "I can stall it for you two to get away besides. A bang on the door "I'm sure I've pissed them off enough" the two conceded allowing him to struggle behind them. "we can't go to the front of the train" Alex says the woman sighs "I know we can't they were crawling all over the front. Aaron walks in front of them using the pipe as leverage looking around. 'Dammit my leg won't stop shaking I want to sleep but if I do I'll die' Aaron shakes his head 'no I'm not sleeping I'm gonna live through this!
"Hey Aaron you find out whats going on? Aaron looks up Jason stood on the roof of the train cart "how did you get up their" Jason shows a key in his hand "I'll save the details and just show you for now take the ladder up I'll kick it down" he says walking over to the ladder. Aaron looks at the two why had they stoped "you two coming? The two snap out of it "yeah sorry Aaron something about that book your holding is just" Aaron looks at the book on his side 'I actually kept it' Aaron shakes his head "it's fine I wasn't thinking " he says with a smile. The two nod following him up too where Jason was waiting "you alright you look like you just went through hell" Aaron looks around "I'm not sure I could consider this place anything but. Jason laughs "right that makes sense but then I have a question" Aaron nods as he climbs up tossing the pole onto the roof it smacks hard making a large clanging sound "why are we here? Aaron stops at the question he had been in the middle of trying to pick up the pipe he stops trying standing straight the other two stand their waiting 'their relying on me to much' Aaron thinks "maybe the train crashed and we died. Aaron says "what type of reasoning is that" the woman says "it isn't sound, I barley like it but the other one is" he looks at them "theirs something going on and we've been choosen to do something.
Aaron shakes his head "no thats not right were not expected to do anything it doesn't feel like that if I'm being honest I've felt like I've been solving a riddle" he says looking at the book ''Jason miss try touching this book I want to test something" the two nod steping forward each go to grab it but when they touch the scream out like Alex "what the hell it felt like I was engulfed in flames" Jason says shaking his head "that wasn't what I expected " the woman said. Aaron thinks about it for a second "so why can I touch it? The three nod in agreement "did anything happen when you found it" the woman asked "I was attack but I manage to stop it with a piece of glass I grabbed. Aaron shows the cut on his hand "no way araon it's a scar! Alex says Aaron looks at his hand "was it when I grabbed the hot metal? Aaron shakes his head 'it stung like hell until a few moments ago" Aaron said to them "look talking about this won't change our situation we need to find a way to get the train into the sunlight" Jason said "why's that? Alex ask "if they are demons he thinks they'll burn in the sunlight" the woman says "its fine lets try it" Aaron says "it might be the key to getting out of here.
The three follow Jason to the back of the train showing the area was blocked with even more rubble. "What did you need to show us? Jason turns pointing down the three look seeing a man laying against the back back door "I use him to keep it close he had the key he was an assitant or something. Jason shrugs "so what's the plan" Alex ask Jason thinks about it "I nominate you to come up with the plan" he looks at Alex "what no why doesn't she do it" he points at the woman "it was this guy's plan don't force me to come up with everything " she glares at the two "I'll do it" Aaron says the book stilll clutched in his hand. "You're wounded let us do it" Alex says "yeah bro just rest" "we don't need you dying as well" he sighs "if I leave it to you three you'll rip each other throats out before we get anytype of work done! The three sigh "he's right I don't know why I snapped at you like that" Alex said "I don't get it either " Jason said the woman sighed "the same" she says Aaron sighed "its probably the atmosphere. Aaron looks around "other than us its dead quiet and it's barley lit in here not surprised you guys snaped like that if I didn't know any better I'd have snap to.
"Then thats an even bigger reason" Alex says "what if this is mental as well" he says quizzing the other three for answers he didn't even have himself Aaron looks over at Jason who seem to be pulling towards him anyways "what is it? Aaron ask "let me take the pipe I can take them out easier " he says Aaron shakes his head "I need it for support I'll give it to you if we need to fight alright" Jason smiles "thanks I'll be able to defend myself then. The four jump cart to cart the three grabbing Aaron who couldn't jump as far as they could "how many more? Aaron ask "you tired" the woman ask with a smile Aaron gives a thin smile "just trying to make it I guess. The woman nods "about awhile back" she begins Aaron looks over towards her his eyes widen in horror "move out of the way " he says pulling her towards him some of the roof comes swinging by he sighs with relief "man that was close" Aaron says letting her go "you two we've got the hatch for the last one were going to open it" Jason says walking over.
Aaron and the woman walk over looking at the two they found the entrance for the train for sure but theirs no way they could climb through or go under the crack in the rubble. "We're gonna really have to start the train " Alex says lowering his head "don't worry no one else is alive on that train we can unhook it and" Aaron shakes his head at Jason "we should try to burn them in the sunlight like you said. Jason nods "forgot about that damn your right we can't leave them on the train they'll tear everything and everyone who enters to shreds" Jason shakes his head "don't want to see that man lets go down" he lifts the lid its dark in their and the doors open Jason chuckles "ladies first? The three glare at him Aaron almost throws up thinking about going near any of them again but he jumps in first landing hard he rolls hitting the metal of the door he groans he looks around their was blood everywhere but the controls and panels where fine.
Aaron closes the door clapping his hands the other three follow him in "what do you make of this? Aaron ask looking at the panels and controls but everything else being destroyed "looks as though they weren't able to touch it in theory because it was in the sunlight" the woman says pointing out everything in the dark was destroyed. "Alright get the train moving" Aaron says Alex nods running over he trips grabbing onto a chain "shit he hit the horn! Jason yells the horn roars through the tunnel everything is silent for only a second then you can hear the screeching as they slash through the doors trying to get to them. "hurry dammit" Aaron says one goes for the window he smacks it with the pipe knocking out but falling to his knee's in the process. "Here give me the pipe" Jason says Aaron nods handing it to him Jason runs over to the windows smacking away any that try to get in "their cutting through everything" Alex yells "then focus on working " Aaron yells walking over. The two where messing with everything "those are the breaks " the woman yells "then don't touch it how do we move it" Aaron says "I did everything like I should have what's missing" Alex says a scream from behind them Jason runs over holding his arm blood trickling from it "their getting through!
Alex runs over to Aaron who's already looking at the controls "you said it was a puzzle well if its a riddle like this then it means on person gives the answer you thought of it give it your answer" Alex yells "what type of sense does that fucking make where about to die give me a moment! Alex steps back nodding Aaron looks around "theirs nothing I know about trains nothing" he keeps looking around 'a hint they already gave us a hint it's been so small I'm not thinking about it' Aaron thinks he looks at everything again seeing something in the light "what's this? He says pointing to one of the panels in the light "we already checked theirs nothing inside that one. Alex says Aaron looks over they busted through the door "please work! Aaron screams pulling out the black book and slamming it into the sunlight panel 'it burnt them right doesn't that mean it's like the creatures maybe it'll' the book pops out a lever firing out Aaron grabs it quick pulling it down. A screech the creatures were firing right towards the four they get close together backing up. The train fires forward without warning through the tunnel the light burst into the cart the creatures screech out in pain burning up in the sunlight.
Aaron looks at the other three smiles plastered on their faces as well he has to grin he fires his fist into the air "we did it" he screams the three do the same "yeah" they roar "that was amazing Aaron how did you know? Aaron shakes his head "I guessed it felt right you know theirs no way that was just their for no reason you know what I mean? Jason taps Aaron on the shoulder "bring it in man I owe you my life right now" Jason hugs Aaron who croaks in pain 'my body still in pain' Aaron wheezes out in his head tapping Jason on the shoulder. Jason stops nodding "sorry about that man" he says smiling "should we check the other carts" the woman ask "I'll do it" Aaron says "no way this time sit back and relax me and Alex got this right man" he says smacking Alex on the back Alex sighs "yeah no problem" Alex looks back lifting his hand "look I fist bump Jason at the beginning now you want me to high five? Alex lowers his hand "what are you doing if were doing it let's stay original" he says pulling out a coin "pull one out" Alex nods pulling one out "flick it to me on three" he nods "three" the two flick them into the air Aaron catches his and so does alex the two smile "see original" he says to him. Alex nods walking out "hey " Aaron turns around looking at the woman "we never swap names did we? Aaron nods "I didn't think you wanted to stick to formalities as the situation had it you've heard our names if you want to go back to formalities then please Ms. I'd love to know your name. Aaron says she laughs Aaron gives a small chuckle as well "keep a silver tongue like that and you'd probably end up like me" she says smiling.
"So then names my name is Aaron and you? She nod "since you gave me your first name I think I should give you mind" she says "Claire" she says calmly "well nice to finally get a name out of you Claire " he says leaning against the wall "how old are you? She ask "weird question are we trying to have a conversation because I think surviving a demon attack together makes us friends don't you think? She nods "but its a real question" she says Aaron nods "why don't I just say I'm still in high school. She nods "I was gonna offer to buy drinks but if your a minor" she sighs "well Jason might come he looks a bit older than me and Alex and if not we can always go together I'll just get a water or something. Claire laughs "right lets do that I think it be nice to mix it up" she says peacefully. Aaron nods standing up he feels something warm on his side he looks when did he put the book back at his side? Aaron grabs it "oh right I almost forgot" she says Aaron doesn't look up opening the book he notices theirs words written in blood. "Nightmare ended" their were other words but he couldn't read them before Claire pulled out what she was going to say a large flash came from the book then the train was silent.
Aaron eyes shoot open to a ball room a group of faceless individuals are dancing together while far off he could see a small floating butterfly. He follows it to the stair case where a man stands looking at me he shakes his head "are you a guest of the master? Aaron stares at him confused "not from what I know of" he says shaking his head "then you cannot come up Aaron nods feeling something shaking at his side he looks seeing the book he had shoved into his waist belt. "Wait that I know what that is sorry to have held you sir. The man says bowing and moving out of the way Aaron stares again for a moment but nods and heads forwards.
The area was covered in blue and a large seat at in the middle of the room a woman sat to the side in a smaller seat while a man with a large nose occupy the larger seat. As Ari step forward everything seem to grow dark until only the room and its occupants seem to exist. "Welcome,to the Velvet Room" Aaron snaps his head towards the man seeing that a seat and a large table sat in front of the man now Aaron sees that no one else is in the room and sits down. "This is a place between dream and reality mind and matter. 'I feel like this is something he says alot' Aaron thoughts shocked him so he continued to listen "it seems you have a very interesting future ahead of you but some introductions are in order my name is Igor.
Igor waves his hand "and this is Shelly" the girl looks over giving a bow "its nice to meet you my name like my master said is Shelly you may address me as such" Aaron nods Igor shows a deck of cards setting some down and flipping down. "Oh my it seems you'll be facing a very strong darkness the death of many will weight on your shoulders if you sign this contract my boy" Aaron looks at the sheet of paper that had appeared on the desk "don't worry all it says is you'll take full responsibility for your actions. Aaron stares at the paper "will this help me? He ask Igor grins "if you mean for your own fights and the worlds then yes they shall cross paths in the future but for now theirs to much to talk about.
"What I can tell you is you'll be going against a strong mystery that in the long run might claim your life. Aaron eyes are locked on the paper "I want everyone on the train to forget then I'll sign it. Igor eyes fall half way "you want us to erase the memories of the individuals in the train? Aaron nods "if this is some kind of test that could kill individuals I refuse to put those three lives on the line? Igor nods "in return you'll sign this contract I accept but in return I must take most your memories of the event. Ari nods "its fine I saw how that world effected them that dead world" he shakes his head "I'm fine with this but theirs something else I'd like to ask form you" Igor looks at him intrigued "you'll have to take an extra price depending on what this is" Aaron nods "the thing is-"
Aaron eyes shoot open he launches up looking around he sighting in his seat the book he got from the school in his hand he looks over seeing Alex sleeping still Jason sat next to him "did I fall asleep and when did Alex get back" Aaron says shaking his head he looks around the Train was still moving he sighs getting up 'might as well stretch my legs' he thinks to himself. He walks over towards the front of the train everyone was talking quietly to the people in their booth. Aaron bumps into someone "sorry I wasn't paying attention" the woman dust of her skirt nodding "its fine I was kind of dazed myself" she nods walking past him he continues on his way he opens the door to the train "why are you up here" the conductor ask Aaron looks around shaking his head in his daze "I'm sorry I just. He shakes his head "why don't you go sit back down well be arriving soon" Aaron nods walking away from them and back. "Who the hell are you! Aaron looks over in his booth seeing Alex and Jason had woken up Aaron takes his seat. "Aaron do you know him" Aaron nods at Alex question "I manage to get someone " he said Alex smiles "good job partner" Aaron sighs "stop calling me that.
The train starts down the path towards a tunnel "um excuse me " the three look over the woman from before "do you mind if my sit here some asshole took my seat" she said sighing "fine just don't encourage those two Aaron moved his legs setting them on the ground "so then like I was saying I don't remember coming back and sitting down and I don't remember Jason sitting down as well. Aaron shrugs "I don't remember much after Jason sat down I fell asleep you probably didn't notice you were tired or something like that. Alex sighs "your probably right I felt pretty good after I woke up. "You three don't remember much either" the woman ask "yeah we don't you to? She nods "I was talking to some of my co-wokers and then I woke up they were asleep as well I thought about washing my face well I did but I bumped into you first. She says pointing to Aaron who nods sitting up "yeah I know what you" an explosion of sound erupts from the background the four stop talking looking "the tracks they blew" someone screams "the trains on fire someone put it out!
Aaron and Jason are the first to stand up "Alex check the front with me Jason go with her" Aaron says jogging forward Alex in tow people screaming everywhere. "I can't get through" Alex says Aaron looks people where trying to get to the back of the train Aaron runs back over pulling Alex through quickly in the process falling to the ground "their now we should be able to" a cringing sound from far off a loud crash in front of them they look over the roof of the next car had been ripped apart by a large piece of metal from the top of the bridge. "Shit where gonna die " Alex says Aaron felt it to that deadly feeling. Aaron shakes his head "can you get the door open? Alex ask as Aaron pulls at it he shakes his head "no it won't budge " he says "the railing like a crowbar where it bends we can use it like one to prop open the door. Aaron nods grabbing the lose railing and pulling it down he looks at the large piece of railing that resembled a pipe taking it he pry's open the door. The door pops open by the top Aaron climbs in taking a few steps into the next cart "I have an idea" Aaron says looking at the thing connecting the carts "not until we get across this bridge is a walking death trap" Alex explains Aaron nods "I'll check ahead then follow when you can.
Aaron heart racing eyes shifting around back and forth to avoid the rubble "someone help! Aaron looks over someone was stuck under some rubble a few people try to lift it but couldn't "I can't keep my fingers under their" one of the men say Aaron runs over with the pipe "move back " he says propping the pipe under the debris. "On three we all push it up when you feel its off move got it!? Everyone nods grabbing on the person under nods getting ready "go" Aaron yells the group pushes on the pipe the rubble holding them lifts a few inches they crawl out quick right before the pipe snaps their shoe getting caught but they manage to get their foot out of it. "Aaron" Alex runs over seeing the group "the front of the trains dangerous we should move these guy's to the back" Aaron yells while running forward "what about the broken bridge? Aaron shakes his head "the trains slowing down but its not fast enough like you said if it was a possibility I'd use this broken pipe and smash the lock but it be the death of everyone so theirs only one option. The group waits for the response as Aaron opens the next door "gap it" he says.
The group looks shocked "the bridge is broken we can't just try to " Aaron snaps his head pointing at the bridge "the entire thing is out we should be happy its facing upwards instead of downwards we can make it if not we try to survive" Aaron growls at them. "Aaron my man" Aaron looks up seeing the woman and Jason standing on the roof "come on lets get to the front fast" he says Aaron nods climbing up . "Alex hurry up" Aaron says staying low as the wind blow still strong the gap was approaching and debris was falling around them the ravin they were passing over looking like it eat them if they fell in the jagged edges of the cliff taking the form of teeth as they walked across. "Let us in you bastards" the four stop looking down they saw a group of people weapons in their hands blood covering them people sprawled on the floor a group of people in the next cart held the door close the people with weapons bang on the doors. "Were only trying to help you we don't want you to have to die such a painful death do we? The door begins to bend Alex looks up at Aaron who was bitting his lip "even if we can gap it these freaks will kill everyone in the train " the woman points out "right then lets move if we don't hurry we won't be able to help them out of their" Aaron says walking to the final cart "the things locked we can't get in from here.
Jason looks up at the three "I'm gonna climb into this small hole" Aaron points to a hole "no way those psychos started a fire look" Jason points to the fire coming out one of the windows Aaron only smiles "better than dying. Aaron hops into the hole before anyone else can say anything the hot metal burning him he winches in pain moving his shirt where the burning areas were. He made his way through it slowly getting burned slowly by the hot metal "come on I can make it" he says a vent was sitting their and he could feel his body about to give he kicks nothing he kicks it again nothing he starts hammering his feet against the vent hopping that it open. With a screech the vent opens up and he drops down he hits the floor groaning in pain. "Look its one of the survivors " Aaron looks up seeing the group of people standing their. His eyes widen as one of them lift up a rusty pipe going to finish it Aaron goes to reach for something hopping for anything to be their his hand catches something it stings and it hurts but that makes him positive it'll hurt more for them. He stands up quickly firing up he fires the object he grab at the man the man screams out in pain falling back "end it" he kept screaming the people who had been helping him so far simply comply with the request taking pleasure in ending the insane mans life.
Aaron takes the chance rushing for the door grabbing the handle without thought he pulls the door open throwing himself into the darkness and slamming it close. "What do I do now? Aaron looks around "right the door still locked" he looks around grabbing something to stand on he finds a box's grabbing the hatch he pulls his hand back looking at his hand a cut sat on his hand he lowers his head trying not to tear up "why does it have to sting so much? He lifts with his other hand pulling the hatch, the door pops open and three hop in "looks like you made it" Jason says smiling "lets hurry up and speed up the train" Aaron says walking over to the controls "Alex can you do this? Alex nods "everything I need is here so theirs no problem besides. Alex looks at the two dead men laying on the floor "looks like they kept the train running an stake their own life on it. Aaron nods "get on it then" a bang on the door "I'll keep them out" he says taking the broken railing from Jason who stood back. The door wasn't budging but they stuck their hands through the window hopping to get it open like that Aaron lifts the railing stabbing into their hands with the sharp edge the person he had hit screams out falling back others draw back their hands some keep going but the rest continue to beat on the door. Aaron shirts get gripped and he's pulled forward he lifts the railing smacking them or stabbing at them screaming . "Shit Aaron" Jason runs over grabbing him by the waist pulling him back in the two fall back hitting the ground.
"Who are these psycho people anyways? the woman ask "I don't know but get the train going were getting close! Aaron yells the woman and Alex nods focusing on that "give me the railing I'll hold them off go help them man" Aaron looks reluctantly at him but nods after looking at his face he wanted to do this he couldn't stop him. Aaron looks around "if we hit one of those well end up hitting the breaks or well go faster it depends on the one we hit but theirs no sign on them no sticker nothing. Aaron stares at the two "then we guess" Aaron says grabbing one of the leavers "you sure ? Aaron smiles "of course not" he pulls it down the four wait for the screeching of breaks but the train increases in speed "you hit the right one! Aaron sighs with relief "were about to hit the gap jason get over here" Aaron says Jason knocked back by the sudden force of the door being knocked down his arm getting cut by a jagged thing of shrapnel "dammit I forgot about them" Alex says Aaron grabs the railing aiming it at them the group stands their glaring at the four "what should we do? The woman ask Aaron shakes his head "the trains speeding up right? The woman nods "their standing out in that gap they will go flying off before any of us.
The group snaps into alarm by his words they go to run forward but the train hits the ramp like broken bridge one hops in but the rest go flying everywhere screaming a distorted scream. Aaron and Alex are sent flying hitting the wall hard Jason still on the ground the man goes in to finish the job lifting his bloody pipe he swings down a hand manages to catch it but the hands knocked away after a moments notice the man turns his attention to the others who had enter the room as the train had landed "you son of a bitch" the other man scream jumping onto the man the two go rolling around the room the crowd watches in silence not going to help Aaron groans shaking his head looking around he sees the pipe standing up walking over slowly the man grabs a blade stabbing them in the neck the other man punches out at him but he's lost two much blood the other man head butts them off the blade looking over at the woman laughing Aaron fire past firing the pipe into the man's out it fires through their head their eyes widen with horror as they scream out.
Aaron grabs the woman's hand pulling her away from the man and running for the door she hops over to the next cart Aaron stops looking over Alex and Jason still laying near the two dying men Aaron runs over grabbing Alex and walking him over to the group Alex walks through. Aaron walks back towards Jason before helping him up he see something next to Jason grabbing it as well then grabbing Jason he walks over to them, Jason falls back into the crowd. Alex feels something grab him "no one move" Aaron looks back 'the man was still alive with a gapping hole like that through his mouth seriously? The man eyes were firing around quickly "you can see them two can't you deaths little pets. He forces Aaron to look around the room sure enough their where creatures that were sitting their staring at the two dying "their waiting for them to die so they can take them away to the other side it's already been decided who'll survive" he screams Aaron looks at the group "were on ground close the door and unhook us from you! Aaron yells "no way we can take this psycho" Aaron shakes his head "theirs something prodding into my back he's got a lighter in his hand as well he's planning on blowing everyone up close the damn door and unhook us god dammit! Jason slams the door "get me something" Jason says someone runs off giving him something "cowards don't you dare break that lock you really letting this kid die? Alex looks at Aaron who's face has darkened he glared at them "do it already" a clang and the Train fires forward leaving behind a group of passengers "looks like you won't be hitting your set numbers then.
The man glares at Aaron "what are you talking about" Aaron pulls something out touching the man with it the man screams out falling to the ground "this thing I remember what happened" Aaron says showing the book the man holds his hand glaring at Aaron in the trains dim lighting you could see a small bit of smoke coming from the mans body "you little shit" the man growls "you knew thats why you'd bet your life on this" Aaron chuckles "just a hunch but I was guessing you couldn't kill me as long as I followed the script. The man falls to his knees the blood flowing out from his mouth "it'll vanish again you'll lose your memories of these events. Aaron shakes his head "meaning when we start the game I'll have this book every time right? The man flinched "dammit" he growls "your vanishing along with those creatures " Aaron says to the man "yes we are till the game is set in motion again. He grins "it'll keep getting harder and harder till your all dead! The man starts laughing at Aaron who freezes up "wait what do you mean another" before his sentence can finish the man and all the other creatures vanish. Aaron stares at where the man stood the blood the bodies of him and even the other man where gone he falls to the floor 'I'm losing it' he thinks to himself as the book vanished everything became a blur a flash of light and snap eyes open on another version of reality.
Aaron eyes shoot open he's sitting in the train cart with a few cops standing nearby "no bodies where found but the boy in the front look like he just got out of a burning building or something. The cop shakes his head "they said a longs way back theirs a broken bridge and a group who look as bad of shape following the tracks away from an abandon group of passenger carts. Aaron climbs out looking around "your up kid you were groaning and failing out so much we were worried about touching you. He nods at the mans joke shaking his head "the train it caught fire and the bridge I don't. The man shakes his head "its fine kid we already know do you know if anyone did this on purpose? Aaron nods "a group of people with weapons but they fell off the train when a group I was in pull the leaver to speed it officer nods at Aaron who was looking around they were at a train station the train he was in was sitting behind another and a group of people were snapping pictures. "The other survivors are coming. The cop nods looking at Aaron "why don't we see if your story matches up with theirs alright kid.
It did they all scream the same thing about a group randomly attacking the train no one knew if they blew out the bridge like that but it was suspected the group didn't say much of a different story other than some kid went with the surviving member of the group and had them unhook the train from the rest of the carts. Aaron didn't remember much but that wasn't in his head. "I did that" he asked confused "you glared at me as well like we'd all die if we didn't do it. Aaron holds his head shaking it 'what the hell is wrong with me why can't I remember? Aaron sighs smiling "sorry I just don't remember" one of the men come forward hugging him "well know we owe you our life thanks kid. Aaron nods hugging the man back the others cheer out happily "thanks man I owe you one now" Jason says smacking him on the back "same here partner! Aaron sighs "don't call me that" he says quietly "thanks for the help back their" Aaron looks over 'right I remember getting her away from that guy but it was more out of panic than anything else. Aaron nods extending his hand she smiles "we never swap names right? Aaron shrugs "I didn't think you wanted to stick to formalities as the situation had it you've heard our names if you want to go back to formalities then please Ms. I'd love to know your name. Aaron says she laughs Aaron gives a small chuckle as well "keep a silver tongue like that and you'd probably end up like me" she says smiling.
"So then names my name is Aaron and you? She nod "since you gave me your first name I think I should give you mind" she says "Claire" she says calmly "well nice to finally get a name out of you Claire " he says leaning against the wall "how old are you? She ask Aaron shrugs "my brains a bit jumbled to answered that like today is friday" Alex lifts hand "actually if where being honest todays sunday" Aaron raises his hand "see I don't even know the date. Claire nods "well since you three know each other I'll take you as a minor then" Aaron grins "so I'm the middle man I'm positive Jason older than me and Alex looks younger than me so their you go one drinking buddy" she laughs "wow your a mind reader how do you know I was talking about drinks? Aaron eyes snap open 'how did I know? This situation its different but I feel as though I've already gone through all this same pain same comments same conversations even same breathing patterns ' he holds his head 'something wrong here why does all of this seem so similar? A pair of snapping fingers knock Aaron back to reality "hey theirs a bus that'll take us to the city from here! Jason says pointing to the bus and smiling "he's right its over there" Claire says "I've got to see if my employes are alright you three should hurry and go. The three nod their stuff was brought with the others by some of the officers "aren't you glad they brought are stuff with them? Alex says smiling Aaron had a dull look in his eyes as he fell back into his thoughts.
Alex looks over to Jason pulls Aaron to his feet "come on man we got to catch the bus" he smacks Aaron back Aaron hollers in pain jumping away from the two "take it easy I'm not healed yet! Jason grins "don't worry he's just being a bit spacey I should be two but I'm just happy to be alive right now. Jason starts for the bus a smile plastered on his face Alex looks at Aaron who sighs shaking his head "don't worry about me were friends now anyone who could survive that hell and stuck by my side is one of my friends. Alex smiles a smaller one than Jason but only by a little. Aaron enters the bus sitting in an empty one behind Jason who got stuck sitting next to Alex. time passes slowly on the bus Alex and Jason chat with Aaron who gives answer and nods trying himself not to laugh at Jason jokes. Aaron stared out the window ignoring Jason's snoring, after awhile everyone seems to be asleep and the bus comes to a slow stop to what look likes to be an abandon bus stops. Aaron pays attention to them they continue walking back till their next to his seat. Aaron has a stare down with them for a second but the bus starts moving and with a reluctant sigh he moves his bag. "That was impressive today" Aaron looks at them "you where their? They nod "not on the train but I saw all off it actually I saw both plays you manage to take the lead both times I applaud your tenacity.
The two stare at each other for a moment before Aaron finally breaks the silence "what do you mean by both plays ? They smile "of course it wouldn't be a good game if you could remember everything no my lead you must follow the script no trailing off that will only take you to a road of death and destruction. Aaron annoyed and tired nod "alright so what would you do" they chuckle "me I'd sit their and watch the answers come towards me" Aaron nods "then I'll wait" they laugh "the blind look of a simple man perfect for your role but hectic for survival " Aaron doesn't act what it means nodding in agreement "If I'm simple I won't take risk right " they grin at him "so fighting your way through a derailing train and sitting with a man who's strap explosives to himself are are things people with no chance of taking a risk do? Aaron shrugs "I don't know why don't you ask a simple man then? They chuckle "your becoming annoying you know this" Aaron shrugs "you started to annoy me first and if my head explodes because of all the shit your telling me the least you can do is accept a bit of divine punishment and get a headache" the two glare at each other and they sigh "you'll be a thorn in their side for a longer time then I expected" they stand up "lets see how are hands play out then. With that sentence they left vanish into nothingness right next to Aaron who seemingly passed out while they where talking.
Aaron looks around Alex and Jason next to him "so this is the city" Aaron says sighing "well I live in the complex next to the school" Alex says happily "I think all the students do" Jason says showing an address "you two are living in the complex next to the school then as well? Alex and Jason nod "its nice to meet you two then" Aaron says extending his hand "didn't we already go over the friend thing and introductions" Jason says with a laugh smacking Aaron's hand. Alex nods shaking Aaron's hand "so where neighbors then? Aaron shrugs "we might be" Aaron says "why don't we get down their before we start thinking about things like that alright? The two nod in agreement Jason waves down a cab and the three get in giving the address. "So what do you two think the school will be like" Alex ask Jason laughs " a swift kick in the ass that's about sums up what I think it'll be like. Aaron sighs he had open up the handbook again he bends the edge of the page he was on looking at the two "his description of this school revolves around pain while your Alex will probably be off chance the possibilities of finding and meeting new people while mine is simple. He takes a deep breath then releases the air looking out the window "just...another day" he says Jason shrugs at the answer Alex thinks about it for a moment and Aaron continues to stare out the window till the rides over.
The three get out walking into the building the carpet of the first floor was red and the walls had a weird design that was mostly blocked up by paintings . Their was two elevators to the right hand side and two stair cases to the left Aaron walks towards the desk that laid in the back of the room in between the two sets of stairs and elevators. Aaron looks at the bell not moving "you not gonna ring him up? Jason ask Aaron looks forward seeing people in the back room talking Aaron looks at the bell sighing he moves his hand towards it smacking it. Ding with that chilling sound came a groan that made the three jump back a young man looks around fixing the small hat on his head. "Yes? The man ask looking at the boys annoyed by their presence. Aaron pulls out the address and shows another piece of paper to the man "so you three are the new tenants names". The man clicks a pen opening a small book "Alex Right" the man nods writing it down "Jason Heart. Another nod and his pencil seems to fire around the paper quickly filling out the information. Aaron sighs "Aaron Wake" the man stops writing for a moment. He looks up confused the anger gone from his face just a large amount of confusion.
"I'm sorry sir I must have been more tired then I thought what was your name again? Aaron points down at the paper the man hands it over and Aaron writes his name down handing it back over to the man who scans the paper quickly sighing with relief "never mind Aaron Wake was it? Aaron nods "sorry about that sir your name sounds close to one of my old friends from high school. The man laughs taking out three keys and three contracts. Jason grabs Alex contract looking at the price "your paying more than me then right ? Alex growls at him pulling it away "yeah says here your pluming messed up so thats why its cheeper. The two turn to Aaron who's already begun to sign his contract they peek over taking a look quickly. "Aaron you must have a silver tongue" Jason says laughing as they walk towards the steps the man in front of them "why's that? Aaron ask as he walks behind the man Jason behind him and Alex to his side. "You know because of how cheep your place is" he laughs "I was looking their doesn't seem to be any problems with the room so why is it so cheap. Aaron sighs "theirs a reason for that if you'd like I'll tell you tomorrow you two can come over as long as your quiet understood? The two nod "of course " Jason says "don't you have a heart? Aaron ask Jason takes a moment then laughs "that was a good one man. He smacks Alex back and Alex trips forward hitting the wall groaning "Jason calm down we don't need anymore accidents in this place" Aaron says to him.
The man stops at the third floor of the complex nodding as Aaron drop a few dollars in his hand he left, "I guess this is it" Alex says yawning "as much as stopping a bunch of death's I'm glad the police said they were keeping it on the down low only telling what happen to the family of people who died. Jason chokes on his own words silence sits between the two Aaron sighs lifting his hand and patting Jason on the back "get over it " he says calmly "you saved maybe five hundred people seeing as I don't even know how trains work an how many people can actually fit on them that be the amount I say so be happy we survived. He says sounding more over to reassure himself than Jason who seems to relax at the words. Aaron opens the door to his room as the other two head for their rooms going up a floor for Jason and down for Alex. Aaron stands in the pitch black room for a few minutes not moving away from the door he takes a steps forward then another soon enough he's in a full stride walking towards what he presume to be the bed and sits down sure enough it is he sets his bag down zipping it open he goes through it feeling the cold plastic of the object he had been searching for.
Click the flashlight turns on illuminating the room in the direction it was fired they're were candles on the shelves next to the bed and matches on the entertainment center in front of the bed he walks over grabbing the matches and walking over lighting both candles quickly. He goes through the rest of the apartment doing the same finding candles in the bathroom and the kitchen, he lights them in silence sighing as he shakes the flames from the last match he used. He stands in the bathroom looking around "they truly left as it was after they came here huh? Aaron looks at where the mirror should be over his medicine cabinet only to see the shatter remains of the the obvious he opens the cabinet "did they punch through this to? He rubs the inside of the medicine cabinet. He sits their for a moment sighing he close the cabinet He stares at the glass his hand moving forward but his body comes to a halt as if something had shocked him out of a deep sleep.
Aaron checks his phone sighing at the time "eight forty five not as late as I thought it be. He says putting his phone in his pocket and walking towards the bed. He stares at it for a few moments touching it with his hand ever so slowly as if it was a unknown life form."I'm not disgusted by what happened in this room its just the fact they told me like they did that bothers me. He lets his hand be consumed by the covers slowly letting himself fall towards the bed "to tired to think though" he manages to pull his hand away leaning against the wall he stares at his hand. 'What was missing? Aaron thought to himself he knew something was wrong he forgot something but couldn't remember what it was. His eyes begin to close then would shoot back open almost as though Aaron was forcing his mental being awake. He was no match for the alluring feeling of sleep slowly the snaps of his eyes and there wary look vanished from his face and he fell asleep soundly against the wall.
"Sorry but the person who was living in that apartment died thirty years ago" "thats not right a friend of mine was staying their she broke the mirror in the bathroom come on you must have notice that! The person on the other end sighs "again we apologize but no one under that name has ever checked into this apartment complex if you'd like I could take your name and ask some of the residence in the building if it sounds familiar. "Yeah its Aaron..." Aaron stops 'wait why would she need my entire name first or last would do I could tell them her favorite color or food or something like the name of the school we went to or a certain date like her mothers birthday or something. "Sir, are you still their? Aaron snaps out of his trance "right Aaron Take, Aaron can hear the woman write the fake name he gave her. He hangs up dialing a different number "hello...yes I'd like to rent a room in your complex if you could fax me the paper work I'll get it done in a moments notice and get the information back to you...thanks by. He sighs 'thank god I was with my doctor when they set this place up for me to live.
Aaron sighs a flash then he remembers "at nine o'clock everyone will forget what happened on the train it'll just seem like the bridge went out after the train went across. "Igor did say I had to repeat that situation over again" Aaron smiles "but to throw in someone like that even force me to experience in the same way an interesting play on his part but..." Aaron sits their for a moment "it seem like he was going with the situation I signed the contract and promised to forget everything about the three so why'd he suggest those turns of events? "It seem like he was showing me what someone dead world could cause that man was the core of the dead world but he let himself get eaten up but how does it all add up. He looks at the time "eight fifty nine" he chuckles leaning against the bed "I wonder what will happen in this place.

Hello there my name is...hmm never mind you can just call me Yarbad. I'm excited to announce this story and I hope you all enjoy if you have any question regarding the story review or PM me all type of feedback is welcome. Oh and even more exciting I want this one to be a SYOC. This is just an option so don't worry if it doesn't seem to move anywhere I can change my plan up. But so far I think its a good start again tell me what you think.
And Another thing What they experience on the train might be a one time thing I don't want to give to much away but consider it the effect of the murder you guy's witness at the beginning. I wanted the three he met at the beginning to be outside of the actual chain of events outside friends so I had them forget what happened and forced the main to forget simple.
"Alright everyone why don't we get started by throwing a party for our new found brother! Cross howls Alex sighs "sometimes I can't believe were the same person" "I can, so Aaron was it? "Nice to me you my name is Lucian and this is Alex Right no connection to you and that fine gentleman over their is Beats doesn't talk much kind of like you think you'll get along with him. Aaron nods "what do you do Lucian? Lucian grins "I try to destroy the world with a secret device or something along those lines" he puts his fingers to his lips "now moving on why don't we go to some of our other guest to say hello to our new friend.
Alex steps forward shaking his hand "this is my friend Alexis she's actually my counter part or she's pretty much the girl version of me" Alexis smiles shaking Aaron hand "this is the first time in awhile meeting someone like you so what can you do? Aaron shrugs lifting his book "this burns people " Alexis smiles "I can do something like that" She lifts her hand a large red flame appearing on top of her head "wait Alexis I think you'll kill him if you burn him like that.
Alex says "oh since her is red does that mean yours is" a small blue flames fly's from Alex jacket "yep his is blue nice to meet you my names K. Aaron nods Yarbad chuckles looking at Aaron "sorry sometimes like to bring everyone over to say hello. Aaron shrugs "as long as they don't tear everything up I'm fine. Yarbad nods "alright for the coup de something or another three two" everyone turns towards the camera "goodbye everyone!
