"Uhhhh...Aelita!" I cry, as we begin to exit the forest. "What does X and A mean?" She looks at me, now scared. "X and A? That doesn't really mean anything..." Oh. I show her my hand. "Cause I think it has something to do with this scar on my hand."
Aelita gasps. "Let me see!" She grabs for my hand and gazes at the marking on my skin. Her eyes widen. "This is bad. This is very, very, bad." "What? What's bad?" I ask, now becoming...well...it was weird. I felt like there was something jumping around in my stomach. She doesn't speak.
Instead, Aelita yanks me out of the forest to a big rock. It's polished white and has some chinks in it. "Jeremie, this is our school." I pause for a moment. "What's a school?" She sighs heavily. "I'll explain later. We need to gather everyone else." "Wait; there are other people here too?" I question, still not understanding.
She drags me into an opening in the rock, and we begin to climb stairs. Another throbbing sensation begins in my head, as I get another memory. Many, many people in these halls, running from something...I couldn't make it out. What were those...things? They appeared to be little roaches, except they were yellow and could shoot people.
A word pops up in my head- "Kankrelats. Those are Kankrelats." "Huh? Who are you?" I ask, in my mind. "Never mind that. That girl...she is your enemy." "She is? But...why? She's nice to me..." "She's only nice because she has to be. As soon as she gets you alone again, you are doomed!"
Instantly I tear away from Aelita. "Wha-Jeremie! Come back!" Aelita cries, running after me. "Run! GO!" the voice in my head commands. "I'm running, I'm running!" I cry, sprinting past unsuspecting people. "Turn left!" the voice yells. I do so and scale the stairs. "Now go straight!" I slam into a brown-haired kid wearing mostly green.
"Jeremie! What's wrong?" he asks. "Aelita! She-she's after me!" I cry, panting. "No! He's an enemy, too!" the voice screams at me. "I...Ok! I'm running!" I yell, bolting for my life again. "Jeremie! Wait!" The kid sighs. "I hoped I never had to show anyone my powers, but...SUPER-SPRINT!" he cries.
In an instant, that kid is in front of me. I skid to a stop as Aelita comes up from behind me. "No...Please, don't hurt me..." I whimper, sinking to my knees. "Jeremie, there's something wrong with you, and we want to help," Aelita pants. "You can't help! You only want to kill me! The little voice in my head said so!"
"Wait. 'Little voice in my head?' " Aelita repeats, confused. Her gaze darts to my right hand, the one with the scar. The other kid gives her a knowing glance as I begin to worry, still panting and now...I couldn't focus very well anymore.
Two other kids surround me, as I fall asleep again.
