Chapter Twenty Eight: Black Heart I


Frost's POV

W...What... I blinked, looking down at my open, white palms as confusion and shock struck me as hard as a lightning bolt. What!? I'm back in class? I gasped to myself, immediately looking up to see everyone on my table with shocked facial expressions...

The room was stiff and cold, matching perfectly with what was currently served in front of us in silver plates as a piece of chalk fell to the ground, echoing twice in this eerie atmosphere. We all quickly looked to the front, staring strangely at Shard who looked as lost as we were, staring at the chalkboard with her right hand held in front of her, looking like she was holding an invisible pencil. Her light blue, icy eyes trembled, completely confused to what was going on as her mind was unable to comprehend any of it at all. I don't blame her. I too, would fall into the state of shock if this happened to me without any warning.

"Frost?", Realm asked me from my left, causing me to look at her with even more shock as her eyes reminded me of the insane days that led me to blood shed. We locked onto each other's eyes, not saying a word as everyone but the rest of the students were aware of what had just happened. "This isn't six point anymore... Not Minecraftia or Corozin...", She whispered, causing me to gasp as my pupils contracted as I believed every single thing she said... I digested it thoroughly, wondering how we aren't back in our world until a cold, soft hand touched me by my shoulder, causing me to turn around swiftly to see a boy with spiky black hair and black eyes stare at my face with a smile... No... This place... is this place!?... NO!

My chest tightened as my heart began to beat excruciatingly fast as if my life was on the line as now it clearly was. This was the place where my nightmares had just begun. The place that I had forgotten for so long that it came back as hard as a rock, sinking deep into my mind. Down, down to the very bottom where I will never forget it ever again... I trembled, knowing his fate as I remember watching him die right before me when I was just a little boy. A little boy who was lost, not knowing what to do as he watched everyone die before him in this retched place of the damned... This place... Why here!? Why me!? I'll go insane again! I know it! I just know it!

"Frost Richtofen! I want to have a word with you outside of the classroom!", Shard exclaimed, making me gasp to the sudden noise as my grey cat-like ears and grey, short fox-like tail spiked up like the hairs of a frightened cat... My eyes trembled to the reality served right before me, unable to deny it's very existence no matter what... No... I think I remember something else... My past won't be exactly how it was. But what I'm sure of is that the shadowy figure that made me go mad is here... And he wants to put us to the test. White Heart and Black Heart...

Mindy's POV

"What's going on guys?", Shard asked us as we stood to the left of the classroom door in the winter white hallways. The windows were to the right, showing an amazing view of the school gate where a few teachers stood around, looking at some figure in the distance that approached the iron, spiked tipped gates that looked NOTHING like the ones from our school. The floor was rubbery and had a light green and cyan texture, resembling hospital tiles very closely. "My shift has already ended yet it's only two PM?".

"We're inside of insanity. Frost's hell of her creating", Chaos explained in a loud whisper as she looked behind her, checking if someone as eves dropping.

"Then why is it in a school", Flare asked curiously, placing both hands on her hips, trying to prove her point. She stared at Chaos dangerously, blinking once before Chaos looked to Frost who attached her back to the wall, resting on it stiffly as she stared out of the window with widened eyes.

"Ask Frost", Milk said for Chaos before letting out a warm sigh from her damp, pink lips.

"No", Frost whispered to herself in a silent gasp, flinching her head backwards slightly, making me too, look out of the window to the the figure walk into the black, iron gates that could fend off even a speeding bus with minimum damage.

"What's wrong Frost?", Shard asked her from behind me as I walked up to the window very slowly, wondering what on earth was going on with her. From here, the figure looks just like an ordinary man... But why is she so afraid?

"Again...", Frost whispered, causing me to spun around instantly and stare her in the eyes, trying to find out what on earth is wrong with her.

"F...Frost?", Jace stuttered in pure shock and fear upon staring into her light red eyes with his dark blue ones as if he had looked into her past. "Oh shit. That figure down there... It's not alive...", He whispered slowly as this was too much for him to digest. Like a rock inside weak acid that hardly had any nutrients.

"Jace? Do you know what's going on?", Milk asked seriously in worry, inching closer to Jace as his dark blue, long hair that reached down to the base of his neck swayed with his extremely fast, unexpected dash to Frost.

"Hey! What do you think you're-", Shard was interrupted by Jace's loud slap that he sent to Frost's right cheek, echoing three times inside of this forsaken hallway that reminded me so much of what happened before... The place where I met Frosty and my REAL little sister who made me taste the dreadful flavours of a beating heart. Frost gasped, suddenly taking in a deep breath of air as her eyes resized themselves to normal, putting on an innocent look across her face that was completely clueless of what was going on.

"Huh? Where am I?", She quickly asked in pure confusion, staring deeply into Jace's pink eyes with purely confused, light red ones. "Is school over already?", She asked out of curiosity, wondering what was going on...

"Jace! What was that for!?", Plantina yelled in anger as she stared at Frost's red left cheek that looked like she had an allergic reaction to something. She folded her arms tightly, gritting her teeth as hard as grinders as she turned a slight red from what looked like embarrassment. Even Plantina is after Frost? Agh... I have to keep her with me at all times then if I don't want something to happen to her... Even Star has a liking towards her. But not in THAT way. More like a way where she just wants to... Do something with her...

"Shut it! Frost was under an insanity trail. I had to snap her out of it before she'd take action against what's going to happen. We have to split up into three groups for maximum survival. Two will leave this place before it's too late while one stays. Understood?", Jace stated in what looked like anger for the first time, making Shard recoil backwards in fright to what he had just said to her.

"Y...yes sir!", She stated and gave him a firm, confident salute with a serious face that held her trembling, fearful eyes, knowing how serious Jace was. Damn! Jace is really something when things are serious!

"Good. I'll grab my group. Shard, you get your own. If what I saw in Frost's past was true, then we better hurry up before it's too late. And remember, we're not Humans, so don't worry about anything", He stated and sniffed the cold air. "Actually, Shard, you're with me along with your sisters. Two groups are more than enough. Let's go!".

Star's POV

What the fuck!? I grit my teeth, staring at three figures before me that had various parts of their flesh torn apart as their skin was coloured a light green and in some parts, a light grey. I growled at them as they let out a zombie-like groan, causing me to gasp and grip my rapier excruciatingly tight with my right hand. My eyes were as wide as day to what I had witness not three minutes ago. They FUCKING ate each other! Fucking zombie apocalypse right here! I rushed at them with brilliant speed, looking like a blur as I held my blade straight in front of me, aiming at their heads as I knew very well how to kill them. Who ever said watching movies is non-educational can kiss my ass! I was completely silent whilst I did this, but they just stood there as I lunged my blade into the right one's head in the broad daylight, causing their face to shrivel like they ate the world's most sour lemon. Blood splattered out like a fountain in silence as chunks of it's pink, chunky brain oozed out and hung from the tip of my blood coated, pink rapier. One down! I lifted up my right foot up high to my stomach and just like that, I ejected it outwards straight at the zombies stomach, causing it to launch off my blade and smash itself against the hard, concrete ground, emitting one hell of a loud thud. One down two more to... huh?

I blinked, looking to my left to see the zombies walk towards where the limp, decayed body lay at, walking right past me as if I wasn't even there... No way... Haha! I am a genius! But first, I have to get rid of these two to make sure that it won't spread to anyone else! Not on my watch! As fast as sound and lightning, I immediately caught up to them and sent TWO extremely fast stabs to their rotten, light green heads, causing them to die immediately as their skulls broke along with their pink, fleshy brain splattering out like three week old eggs. The good old days are coming back eh? They both dropped to the ground on their knees, exposing the large wound I had given to them with my blade.

"Gross", I sighed with a smile plastered across my face, knowing that I can now enjoy the pleasure of killing the damned in this retched Realm of Insanity. Haha!... Oh... Dammit! I have to warn the others about this before they get eaten! But I don't have to worry about those guys turning into one of them. It's just Sino, Shora and his sister that I'm worried about! They have no immunity to such diseases! Just like villagers!

Frost's POV

"Why do we have to stay here if it's the apocalypse?", Chaos asked in an annoyed tone as she, Mindy, Nova, Milk, Frosty and I walked silently in towards the staircase at the end of the paper white corridor we walk in. To be honest, I feel a lot better now about this whole repetition of my past. But I knew well that it won't be a mirror image.

"It's cause we have to look for Star and THEN look for Ruby along with Wish and Serenity. Drago should be with them", Milk replied calmly after a long, annoyed sigh to Chaos's complaining.

"What about Sino? Isn't she human?", Frosty asked, suddenly making my heart skip a beat. That's right... She's human. Even Shora and silica. But knowing those three, they'll be able to take on anything hopefully.

"They'll be alright", Mindy said, nudging my right arm with her elbow as she looked at me in the eye with an amazing smile across her adorable white face that calmed me down to the bone. He long, beautiful light purple hair reached down to her thighs and bounced slightly with every movement she made, causing me to blush slightly. She's amazing! "Let's focus right now so we don't get hurt. Star's the first objective", She said, making me smile brightly at her with my head tilted to my right slightly. Suddenly, my left cheek was pinched harshly and pulled on by a warm, soft hand, causing me to yelp in sudden pain as not only did my right cheek ache, but now my left one felt like someone stabbed me with a syringe!

"Aww! Frost! You're so lucky to have Mindy!", Frosty said from my left as she pulled on my cheek some more, stretching it more than the limit which caused me to let out another yelp of pain right before swiftly put my left hand onto her chest and pushed her back, trying to break free from the hold of pain.

"Lemme go! You're gonna tear off my face!", I exclaimed, gritting my teeth as she continued to do so, giving me no other option but to do the same...

"Frost!", I heard that ONE particular voice call out my name from ahead of us, making me cringe and forcefully remove myself from Frosty's death grip as the left half of my face was blood red and very sore. Star... I wonder where she's been... "There are fucking zombies outside! They're eating students and turning them into one of them!", She cried. I blinked blankly watching her sprint towards us at full speed that backed up what she said, making it very. Very believable and legitimate.

"What are you talking about!?", Frosty exclaimed from my left, making my ears fold in pure, utter pain as she was the only one who didn't really get that there were zombies around.

Star slowed her pace as she neared us, making the tapping of the rubbery tiled, glossy floor make tapping noises with every step she took, progressively getting louder and louder and less frequent. I stared at her with a small smile across my face for no reason at all.

Once she was a meter away, she bent down her knees, ceasing entirely as she clutched onto them and bent over slightly, hyperventilating due to how much she ran.

"They're... They're...", She began and took in a deep breath before yelling out the rest of what she wanted to say. "FUCKING EATING PEOPLE!".

"Who!? Where!?", Frosty cried in fright, blinking as she stared into Star's silver eyes with her dark brow ones with confusion and fear.

"On the school grounds!", Chaos exclaimed, wanting to get this over and done with as she was very annoyed. "One bites another then they become one!".

"You're not making any sense!", Frosty cried, making me cringe slightly as I looked to my right, staring into her light red eyes as her two, light purple cat-like ears folded cutely atop of her head.

"Frosty, I am NOT joking! They're like fucking zombies!", Star snapped, erecting herself upwards before pulling out her rapier from the left of her waist with lightning speed, clenched tightly in her right, soft, delicate hand.

"Huh!?", Frosty replied... For crying out loud!... I spun around, gritting my teeth as hard as grinders as I was up to HERE with her stupidity... My hair and attire floated majestically around me... Everything went in slow motion for some reason... But why? The air felt colder. The room became darker as I could smell the sweetness of thick, viscous blood around me... The moment I had the slightest glimpse on Frosty, my heart stopped beating...

What I saw was not her... It was a shadow. No... The Shadow. The one who send me mad and made me almost kill my beloved Mindy... But I wasn't scared of it... What scared me, was Frosty's eyes... No, her eye sockets... Blood fled from them like waterfalls of sorrow... Calm... Sweet... Delicious...

"Black Heart", The figure whispered my name uncannily, just like a ghost as Frosty and everything around me faded away slowly, showering me with not only fear, but with loneliness and lost hope... I stood there, unable to comprehend anything at all as I gazed in front of me to see disembowelled figures in the distance. Some mutilated into segments of their very being and some hung or torn open, missing their entrails... The sky looked down at me, laughing at me with it's red light as the sky was the opposite today...

"Black Heart... How long can you last?", Another voice whispered like a ghost as I felt a chill emit from the back of my neck, causing goosebumps to instantly dot my skin in complete shock and fear.

"How much blood can you consume?", Another voice asked me, sounding like the first voice... I was completely petrified... I couldn't even think. I felt powerless, seeing all these bodies piled up in one place... But what does it mean?...


"It's consumed you...".

"Insanity...".

"I can see everything... But I'm too mad to even share my knowledge".

"They keep on talking to me... But why?".
