Authors Note: I know it's been ages… what can I say, I've been busy! I felt that I needed to take a break from writing for a while… but hey, I'm back and hear is the fourth chapter (of ten or so). I dedicate this fiction to one of my friends who loves it although she told me not to mention her on the internet. You know who you are! I re-wrote this a few times because it wasn't great the first few times. Hopefully this should do it. You can tell me! By the way the scene happens when Anri and Frank are twelve.

Chapter 4- Parousia

I opened my eyes to the dank room. The place stunk and was small. There were dark red stains covering the walls and the walls themselves seemed to be throbbing. I jumped back in shock as I watched the padded walls move in and out like the heart of a great beast. My eyes darted towards the door for a means of escape but I could see immediately that it was bolted tight.

'Help.' I yelled. 'Help!'

Someone stared through the small glass panel in the door at me. I looked at the creased, tired eyes for a moment and realised that they were Anri's. I jumped to my feet.

'Anri, let me out of here!' I yelled, as I walked towards the door.

Anri pulled back slightly as I approached but gradually returned to looking in at me. I had realised by now that I was locked in the cell that Anri had been in.

'Anri, please let me out.' I pleaded, staring into the grown man's eyes. The eyes that hadn't changed since he was a child.

He stared back at me blankly, making no effort to make a reply.

'I can't stay in here.' I yelled. 'Please.'

A tear dropped from my left eye as I stared out at the man that once had trusted me so much and was now looking at me as if he didn't know me.

'Anri I have always loved you.' I said wiping my eyes which were starting to become wet.

Anri raised his hand to the glass, as if trying to touch me. His eyes looked deeply sympathetic.

I raised my hand to and touched against the glass, wishing I could just touch him. I needed to know that the brother whom I had once loved was still real.

We stared into each other's eyes for a few moments before Anri dropped his gaze.

'Thank you.' He mouthed, looking up once again. 'For letting me out!'

He started to walk away.

'Wait.' I yelled. 'Let me out of here.' I stared as he turned the corner and left me with tears in my eyes.

I walked towards the back wall and fell down beside it, not caring that it was throbbing anymore. It was better off if it killed me, in my opinion.

I was obviously back in the obscure world that had taken over the theme park.

I shut my eyes trying to rid myself of the place.

I looked at the title of the book again. "The Gnothan" it read in dark words.

'Anri, get in here.' I yelled.

'Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.' Anri called back.

'Now.' I called angrily.

'Okay, I'm coming.'

I waited and took another look at the book before he came in.

He stood at the door with a look of surprise on his face. I shot him a look of disgust.

'Isn't this the book that you were told to read in your dream?' I asked angrily.

'Yeah…' Anri started awkwardly.

'Then why did I find it under your bed?'

'I'm sorry.' Anri cried, bursting into tears.

'For fuck sake, why? Stop crying!'

'I need to find my destiny.' He explained.

'Anri, you need help.' I yelled angrily.

'I… you wouldn't understand.' Anri burst out. 'I knew it, you're not like me! I'll experience the Parousia but you won't' He ran out the door slamming it behind him.

I woke as I heard a sudden bang at the metal door. I looked over quickly to see Michelle looking in at me.

'Michelle,' I shouted, getting up. 'Let me out of here.

She said something in reply but I couldn't here through the heavy metal. I waited as she tugged at the door.

I pulled and eventually the door moved inwards. I sighed as the door pulled free.

'Michelle, you're a genius.' I laughed, hugging her although she pushed me away roughly.

'You left me!' She said dramatically. She looked heartbroken and I knew I had caused her to look so gloom. 'You just felt me.'

'I… I don't know what happened.' I told her honestly. 'I just fainted and you were gone when I woke up.'

'Bullshit!' Michelle spat. 'You pushed my hand away when I was climbing away and ran off. You left me for dead.'

'That's not true.'

'I know it is!' she turned away coldly. 'I can't survive here all on my own. I need someone to protect me.'

'Look, I won't leave you on your own.' I comforted her.

'It's been really scary here.' Michelle explained slowly. 'I had to get past several mutant things and I was so scared. The walls seem to be moving!'

'It's okay.' I said, wrapping my arms around her. 'You're with me now.'

'You'll probably leave me again.' She muttered and a tear fell from her eye. 'No one wants to stay with me.'

'That's not true.' I told her, even though I didn't want her following me all the time.

'Will you get me out of this town now?' She asked, looking up hopefully.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at the floor. I was so close to my brother now, I couldn't just leave without him.

'No.' I stated. 'I have to find my brother first.'

'But I can't stay in this… town.'

'Leave on your own then.' I said, starting to get angry. All she did was moan.

'You said you wouldn't leave me.' She snapped in frustration. Tears were falling from her eyes.

'Come with me.' I suggested.

'I… where will you be going?' She asked staring in fright into my eyes.

'I don't know.' I told her earnestly. 'I have to find out where he is!'

Michelle hesitated for a moment and then looked up.

'Okay.' She sighed, giving in. 'I'll come with you.'

'Great.' I smiled. 'If you get lost meet me…' I stopped, trying to think of a suitable place.

'At the hotel?' Michelle suggested.

'Yeah, in room 302. I don't think the lobby is safe.' I told her. 'I left the keys behind the reception, but don't stay there for long either. It's possibly not safe.'

'Okay.' Michelle said, looking terrified that she'd have to go near the reception.

'If I don't come for a long time, still wait.' I said. 'I could be in trouble. Try and get out yourself after a day, as I'll probably be dead if I'm that long.'

'Okay.' Michelle nodded.

'And lock the door behind you.' I added. 'I'll knock five times when I come.'

'I hope we don't get split up.' Michelle sighed.

'Why?' I asked surprised at what she just said.

'Because I don't want to have to do that all on my own.'

'You'll be fine if you do.' I told her. 'Anyway we should get going.'

'Wait.' Michelle said quickly. 'I have to tell you something.'

'Yes.' I prompted her.

'I saw this woman around this place.' She told me. 'She kept smiling at me and telling me to relax, she scared me so I kept running away.'

'What did she look like?' I asked.

'She looked about thirty, had mousy-brown hair. That's all I remember.'

'I think I know who she is.' I told Michelle. 'Stay away from her, she's dangerous. I think she has something to do with this place.'

'Do you know her name?'

'She wouldn't tell me.'

We started to walk down the hallway towards the stairs and suddenly I remembered something.

'Wait.' I said to Michelle quickly. 'I left this guy named Philip in one of the rooms when I went to see my brother.'

'Where is he?' She asked, sounding as though she didn't want to get him.

'He's back in one of the small rooms. It's only a short way away.'

'Okay, let's get him.'

We turned around and walked back down the darkened hallway. The only light was from my flashlight and even that was growing dim. The walls around us were covered in dirt and blood and seemed to be moving slightly. There were also squelching noises, as if a creature was near us, which made Michelle nervous.

'He in here.' I said opening a door but I suddenly turned away in disgust as I saw the contents of the room. There was blood splattered everywhere and there seemed to be entrails of flesh scattered around the room. The smell was horrible. Michelle screamed at the sight.

I turned her away from the door.

'It's alright.' I told her. 'We'll go out now.'

I took her hand and dragged her away from the scene. She bent over and puked as we reached the staircase.

'Poor guy.' I said aloud. 'I wish I had brought him with me.'

'What could do something like that?' Michelle said, more terrified than ever.

'It's alright, lets go.'

We rushed down the stairs to the first floor and headed for the main door.

'Having fun?' I familiar voice said from behind me, as I reached for the door handle.

I spun around to see the mysterious woman looking at me with that same evil smile.

'Who the fuck are you?' I asked angrily. 'What do you have to do with this whole place.'

'Let's go.' Michelle said from beside me.

'Go to the hotel. I'll meet you soon.' I told her.

'Okay.' She replied softly and she slid out the door leaving me with the woman.

'I am someone who is very interested in you!' She answered broadening her wicked smile.

'Fuck you!' I spat. 'I bet you did that to poor Philip. I bet you were the one who killed him.'

'Oh that's not true.' She said shaking her head. 'It was your brother of course.'

I looked at the woman in shock.

'I don't believe you.' I snapped. 'He's better now.'

'Yes, he is.' She smiled. 'He's finally proper and ready for his destiny.'

'What destiny?' I asked.

'His destiny is in the Gnothan. It is the parousia.'

'What?' I asked, confused.

'Don't worry, you'll find out yourself.'

I walked towards her but she backed away.

'Don't come near me.' She said, getting angry.

I continued to approach and she turned to run. I ran after her through the blood filled hallways and tried to slow her down by shooting in the air. I didn't want to shoot her since I knew she had information that I needed.

I reached the last hallway and I saw that the wall at the end of the hallway had been knocked and it was exposed to the outside. She entered a room beside this and locked the door tight. I pulled at the knob trying to get it open, but it wouldn't budge. I heard another door slam and presumed that she had left the next room. I slid down on the floor in hopelessness. I had nowhere to look now.

'Fuck.' I yelled.

I walked over to where the wall was knocked and looked down to see a large river beside the hospital. I was two storeys up, but I could still see how dirty the river was. It was coloured a reddish-brown colour and looked like it had something living in it since there was air bubbles coming up every few seconds.

'Ahh.' I yelled as someone pushed me from behind. I tried to turn around to see who was there but I didn't get time. I fell down with a large splash into the river and felt the cold, chunky water take over my skin.

I swan to the surface quickly and took a long breath of air.

'Help.' I yelled, as I was completely freaked out.

There were chunks of debri moving around me and I could feel something slither up against my skin.

I looked down to see what it was but the water was too dirty to see anything. I thrashed towards the shore but didn't succeed in reaching it as I felt a strong tug on my leg. I tried to pull away but the grip was too strong.

'Help.' I yelled before I was pulled under.

The water started to fill my lungs and suddenly I blacked out.
