The woman leas me to a set of stairs that lead t the second floor of the house and there are two rooms, one has abed and the girl walks into it, and the woman points at the one across from the girl's room.
"This one is yours" she says to me.
I walk inside and close the door behind me, I look at the clothes the woman gave me and despite the woman's best efforts, I can see that the clothes she gave me are still too big.
Regardless there are two things inside the room I can use, a mirror and a bed.
I walk up to the mirror and look at my reflection, I can feel the smile spread on my face, not only am I younger, but my face is a lot more handsome than my original one.
I say I look somewhere between ten years or twelve years old.
Still, my old clothes are both dirty and too big for me, so I change into the ones the woman gave me and my eyes immediately focus on something that isn't right, the map the thing that has been in front of since I first arrived here is starting to glow.
Mission take the corp of the woman you found at the train station and burry it. Will you take the mission yes or no.
I don't want to take take the mission, but it will help me figure out how the map works and if I can rely on it when things go bad.
"Yes," Is the only thing I say and the map begins to glow green, a green circle appears in front of a nearby window, and the moment I reach for it the window opens on its own.
I feel my body becoming lighter than it has any right to be and I grave the edge of the window and jump down, but all of the sounds of the town are gone, and the people that were walking around are gone now.
I look at the map and I see a set of bright red letters displayed on top of a timer.
The world, are the words written I don't care what the dam thing is called, I'm just grateful that no one can see me right now.
The only thing that I do is give a single step and yet I'm already standing next to the woman's corpse, she begins to float and another green circle appears.
Again I take another step and I arrive at the next location, there are a couple of graves here but here aren't that many.
In front of me s a shovel, and for some reason, it doesn't do anything when I look at it.
Waite am I going to have to dig this woman's grave.
What kind of ability is this, I can teleport, pike things up despite them being heavier, plus carry them with me, but if I want to use something as common as s shovel I have to do it the normal way.
Screw it the timmer is going down fast so I start to dig and after half an hour of none stop digging, I lower the woman down and cover her with the dirt.
I've seen enough dead bodies to know when the person I'm putting in the hole is dead, but dam it, I don't even know her name.
The timer hits zero and I find myself back inside the house, did any of that happen or was it all in my head.
No t happened, the pants and the shirt that woman let me borrow have some dirt on them, so how the hell did I do any of that?
No there has to be a reason why I have these powers now, but these powers are useless in a fight with powerful monsters, I can get close to the things and drop heavy things on them, but I need a lot of guns and explosive for this to be of any real use.
The door behind me opens and the girl walks inside she doesn't say anything, she just gets on the bed and lays down, before lifting the doll above her and starting to play with the thing.
Fine Ill humor you kid.
"Hey what are you doing?" I ask her and she sits down before looking at me with wide eyes.
This girl's mom or whatever just died and she is already making this kind of face.
"Mommy say thankyou"
What the hell?
"She told me how you buried her and helped her return to the world, this way the bad men won't find her" she adds.
I want to get away from her but how did she know I buried the woman.
"I'm Aerith what's your name?" she askes me.
Good question, should I use my old name or go with a new one and start over and use this as my second chance at life.
Screw it its not like my name can come back and bite me on the ass, it's just a name.
"Fatesend."
"My mother is the cruel woman you call Destiny and my father is the uncaring man you call Fate. It's good to meet you Aerith" I answer her and I'm already regretting saying any of that.
The girl is looking at me with eyes that look as if they are sparkling.
She's holding on to her doll and the smile on her face is growing bigger and bigger.
The light outside is getting dimmer, so I'm guessing the sun is going down.
"Fatesend, can I sleep here tonight?" she asks me.
"Sure" I answer her, but I'm not going to get any sleep tonight, there are a lot of red circles showing up on the map, I can see the woman on the map too or at least I think it's her.
"I have to go to work, the two of you stay inside and if you go out to play remember to get back then the bell rings three-time" I hear the woman say as the sound of the door closing follows.
When the hell did I fall asleep? no better question when did I get on the bed?
