Chapter 1: Assault and a Vacation

One day, after classes, in an empty clubroom.

"Haha! You filthy fourteen year old freshman boy!" shouts a tall, black-haired senior girl as she kicks the boy on the ground.

"The drugs really worked wonders, Diana. Let's have some fun with him while we can," exclaims the red-headed senior as she speaks to the black-haired girl.

"You think you're so cool, Richard. You probably thought we were being nice by offer you punch at lunch today. Haha… I wonder when you started to feel dizzy," said Diana.

No. Please stop this. I don't want this…

Rich writhe's on the floor in pain from the beating.

"I'll crush your manhood you pathetic scum! You had the audacity to become more popular in three months as a freshman, than us! You will pay for your stupidity," screams Diana.

"Kick his face Rachel," yells Diana to the red-head as she stomps her foot in between the boy's legs, right on top of his pant zipper.

Rachel kicks his face, right in the ear and jaw. The boys side was already bruised from her kicks.

No… STOP THIS!

Rich's eyes open wide as his mind screams. His lips move as he mutters the words, "Stop."

The world freezes around him, seeming like time had slowed down for everyone but him. Rich speaks again, "Move back!"

The two girls are blasted back against the wall as Rich stands up weakly, holding himself on the table and his eyes filled with anger and sadness.

I won't let a woman seduce me into coming to help them again. I won't let them touch me like that and there. I won't... Thoughts race through his mind and the world fades around him. He feels as though he's being shaken and hears another voice calling his name.

"Richard. Richard.. Richard… RICHARD! Richard wake up," states Kotomi as she shakes Rich.

"Oh, did I fall asleep on the desk again?" questions Rich groggily as he raises his head of the lab desk in his basement lab.

"Rich, I can handle things here. Why don't you take a vacation and go relax okay? As your friend I'm telling you this cause I care," says Kotomi as she rubs his back.

To Rich, Kotomi is a fellow colleague and trusted friend; she's very innocent and has not once made any sexual advances.

Kotomi's right. I should go somewhere I can overcome my memories of my first year of high school, thinks Rich as he gets up off the chair.

"Okay, Kotomi you win. I'll take a little trip somewhere relaxing where I can have time to reflect on myself. I'll see around okay?" says Rich as he walks to the center of the room.

"Don't come back until you've relaxed and had fun, okay Rich?" commands Kotomi.

"I understand. I will, Kotomi. Thank you," says Rich as he looks in front of him and raises his hand.

"DIMENSIONAL GATE, OPEN!" says Rich as a light shines before him and opens a rift that he jumps through, thinking about how to deal with his past.

Author's Note: Kotomi is a scientist that studies parallel universes. Rich is a dimension traveling character that can travel from dimension to dimension, including parallel universes. The next chapter the Queen will meet Rich in her world. To be continued.
