Well that took me a while, my wifi at home is wacked up until now so at least I have a time to update now.
Just for you to know a new character is coming in this chapter.
Coffee Monsta: You'll see, just wait haha
So with that said enjoy!
Logan wakes up to find himself in the white void. Feeling floaty like last time, he "swim" through the white emptyness till he reaches the surface. When Logan reaches the surface, he found himself in the lake like last time. Logan noticed it's already night, the starry night sky twinkling. The music then began to play, the music having a different tempo style. Logan sees the same woman as the last dream, except she's now wearing a black dress with a black mask only covering her mouth, then she began to sing
"Embrace the dark! You call a home!" she also begins to dance, but the way she's dancing is different from the last time.
"Gaze upon an empty, white throne. A legacy of lies, a familiar disguise!" The way she's dancing is a contrast with the dance from the first dream. Before it was slow & graceful, now it's fast & passionate. After her voice echoes in the sky, images appear in the dark sky once again, when Logan looks up at the sky, it was different, the moments he's seeing are the moments he has with Wade & their friends. "My brother...and...my friends..."
"Sing with me a song of conquest and fate, the black pillar cracks beneath its weight!" As she rolls her hands up to the air & spread her arms, she created the same water spiral & her pendant once again glows like the last dream.
"Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone! Lost in thoughts all alone!"
As the music ends, Logan noticed that she said the same last line as the first dream.
"Lost in thoughts all alone...What is this about?" And just as he said that, everything started to fade into pitch darkness as it finally went to the point Logan can't see anything till the light shines into his sight.
Logan wakes up normally thanks to the fact there're no nightmares haunting him.
"What kind of dreams am I having? How're they both somehow connected or related?" Logan went on to compare the two dreams he had. They're both in a lake & there's a woman who has a beautiful singing voice, but there're differences, the first was light & day while the second was dark & night. The lyrics are different from each other. The tone of the music is also different from each other. The way she dances, in which the first was graceful while the second was energetic. Even the way the she sings is also different. How were those dreams similar to each other?
As Logan looks out at the window, the light looked dull and outside, the sky's covered in gloomy clouds. A contrast from yesterday's bright sky.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence... Logan thought himself about it, but how's it his dreams coincide with the weather that'll happen?
Logan checked the clock on the small table next to him and saw it's already one in the afternoon. He overslept.
Logan sighs "What can I do..."
He went on with his usual morning routine before he dresses himself in his white v-neck shirt, black leather jacket (since it's somehow cold today) and jeans and drove to the city.
Apprenetly, it was raining hard in the city, but Logan couldn't care much about getting drenched in rain. The city was almost covered in clouds since the rain is very hard, though not flooding the city. He looked down on the sidewalk with a blank face while walking, no emotions he's feeling, though he's thinking about the two dreams he had. The sounds of the rain striking down the ground, the sounds of water flowing through the road and the sounds of thunder striking from the clouds are the only sounds Logan can hear echoing in his mind while he's walking. However, just as he crosses the street, the sounds seem to get louder and a bright flash of light suddenly hit his vision, blinding him, though the sounds of rain and thunder remaining. Logan fell on his knees and when he opens his eyes...
He found himself laying on a muddy ground, the rain still there. And when he looks in front, there was a wall before looking up and turns out to find himself in a deep pit, the opening caged.
He tried to climb up, but he ends up falling back to the ground. His breathing sped up and tried to scream his lungs out for help...
But no one came...
But then...
"Shit! Get out of the way!" Logan hears a voice echo as he turns to see a speeding car is about to hit him. But then, someone jumped and pushed him out of harm's way. Logan's eyes were wide. What the hell just happened?
"You okay?"
"Y-y-yeah...thanks" he turns to see a man wearing a white balaclava, black sunglasses and black hat, though his hair is black.
"Putang ina mo, you could've gotten yourself ran over man" his accent was different...and he wasn't speaking Spanish at all, he just heard him spoke English, which the only ones he knows are his brother Wade, his friends Marx and Carol and Rorke. However, he's also focused on what he just said. "putang ina mo", what the hell is this language?
"Um...what language did you just spoke?"
"Does it even matter?"
"...No..."
"Then no need to answer then" the man gets up and pulls Logan up
"You...you're...different..."
"Different?"
"First, you just spoke English and a language I have no fucking clue about. And second, you sound different."
"Oh...that... Well I'm not Spanish born. I'm an American."
"I never heard an American say 'puutang ena mow' or whatever you just said" Logan's eyes narrow in suspicion
"Does it concern you?" his voice sounded darker when he responded, and from what he can tell, he's also glaring him
Though it didn't send down chills on Logan's body, he decided it's better off not to start a fight with someone, especially if that someone is his savior.
"…No"
"Alright…Well then, just watch where you're going next time okay"
"Yeah…sure…T-thanks…"
"No prob" the man then proceed to walk back to his supposed path
However, Logan was stuck staring at him, walking while the rain continue to pour down, he seems mysterious and that's what Logan was curious about. Who was that person?
After some short thinking, "Hey! Wait!"
Logan rushes to the man so fast as if he's going to miss a train.
"What?"
"Can I…um…hang around with you?"
"Why? Especially the fact we just met thirty seconds ago…" the person didn't sound angry despite the slight sound of annoyance
"You look lonely honestly, thought you could have some company. By the way, we haven't told our names yet, what's your name?"
"The name's Kendrick"
"Kendrick… Sounds like a nice name. Logan, nice to meet you" he lifts his hand for a handshake, but Kendrick did no movement
"Logan…Huh…never thought I to run into you and finally meet you properly"
"Huh? You know who I am?"
"Yes, I'm also in the army"
"So…you're having a break as well right?"
"No denial. I have no idea on what to do"
"You too huh. Well, how about we tag along, what do you say Kendrick?"
"…" Kendrick went into thinking despite the rain still drenching on both men but it took a minute till he finally decided
"…Alright…I'll won't mind"
"Alright then…" Logan smiles as the two men walk side by side together through heavy rain.
6:23pm
"Holy shit...you're like Deadpool or something man..."
"Nope, I don't have his dark humor and I don't regenerate"
"I know, but you always survive even during the most fatal times"
"I guess I could take that..."
"How do you even survive explosions and all?"
"It's...complicated"
"Complicating?"
"It'll be hard for you to understand alright"
"Come on, I've gone through shit before"
"Still... It's going to be hard for you"
"Fine then..." Logan sighs
The two have been going around the city lately, it didn't take long for them to decide that they'll stop by at a bar and have a couple of drinks
"You know... you're awesome to be honest... Always thought to be dead and all, but then you surprise people, like Superman"
"Like Superman?"
"Yes"
"Hmph...I guess you kinda have a point, but alright"
"So...what are you going to do tomorrow? Tomorrow's Federation Day..."
"Hm... I'll go to Caracas"
"But isn't it too late already?" Logan raises an eyebrow, how can he go there when Caracas is a day away from here
"For you and everyone, yes. Me? No"
"Huh? How?"
"Can't talk about it"
"First you couldn't tell me how you survive a lot shit, now you couldn't tell me how you can go to a far away place in less than thirty seconds... You sure are very secure..."
"Look, we just met. I can't trust you with all of this got that"
"Alright then... But can I tag along with you to Caracas?"
Kendrick didn't answer as he went into thinking for a while once again...
It took for him a minute or two for him to finally speak
"...Okay. But..."
"Huh?"
"...before we go, I need you to sleep first."
"Why?"
"None of your business. Look, just trust me on this. I promise you, we'll be in Caracas with no problems"
"Erm...a-a-alright then."
"Alright, just pack some stuffs you need. Clothes, glasses, shoes, stuff toys, whatever you need"
"Okay then..."
Logan drove back to his home with Kendrick where he packed up his belongings and gets himself set up for Caracas.
"So Kendrick, you ready?"
"Yeah, now go lay down on your bed"
"O-okay..." Logan soon lay down looking up the ceiling, nervousness clouding him
"Alright, now close your eyes"
"Why?"
"Didn't we agree with this?" he sighs in annoyance
"Yeah"
"So close your eyes"
"Fine" Logan then shuts his eyes close. The moment his vision is black, he hears a spark like sound and something hit his head, not physically, but some kind of energy. The moment the energy hit him, he suddenly feels strange and drowsy and then everything went silent...
It took maybe an hour till Logan wakes up, still laying down, no change of position, almost as if nothing happened, almost as if it was just a another crazy dream he had, that he never met a person named Kendrick, almost as if he's losing his mind. However, when he looked up closely at the ceiling, it looked different. In his home, in his room, the ceiling is plain white. But what he's seeing right now is a light tan colored ceiling, however, that's only the first thing he noticed. When slowly gets up, the room was actually dark, well almost pitch black dark. When he looks at his left, he sees a wide window and showed different high rising buildings spreading out, glimmering thanks to the most of the lights coming from the inside of the buildings. Looking around the room, he found Kendrick sitting next to him, staring down on him. Maybe it wasn't a dream after all. He couldn't tell if he's asleep since he's still wearing his black sunglasses. That is until...
"You're just gonna stare at me absent mindedly?"
"Wha?! Oh shit, I thought you're asleep. What the hell man. Well...what's with you watching me sleep?"
"Just being cautious"
"Well, you're not my mother"
"Whatever, anyway. We're here..."
"Here what?"
"Now you have amnesia or something? We're in Caracas already"
"Huh?! Are you serious?"
"Didn't you just looked at the window a while ago?"
"Uh...right, my bad... How long was I out?"
"Just for an hour"
"Wait...how did we get here so quickly?"
"And here you are with that question again..." Kendrick sighs in annoyance
"Why are you so goddamn curious of me?"
"Cause I am duh"
"Well stop that, we'll never get along anyway. Hell, you'll won't even last long with me, just like everyone else who comes across with me."
"Kendrick..."
"Anyway, there's a resturant at the top floor of the hotel. We can eat there if you're hungry."
"Well...I guess I'll have some then"
"Alright, get your ass up then"
The two took the elevator where they're met with hotel guests dining in the resturant, with a pool just outside where more guests are enjoying their time. They found a table which is outside and there they sat.
"So...you have a family Kendrick?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Well, cause we're getting to know each other"
"You're goddamn curious as fuck. Can you stop asking me questions please..."
"Hey no need to be all grumpy and all. Man...you sure are hard...as...a...stone..." Logan stuttered slightly, having said a phrase from a song he heard in hia dream like last time
"You okay?"
"Um...yeah...Just remembered something"
"Is it a bad one?"
"I...I don't know..."
"Okay"
Mention him about the dream and he'll think I'm a crazy person from an asylum... Logan thought to himself just as the waitress finally served their dinner
It didn't took long for them to finish their dinner as they return to the room where Logan went in the bathroom where he takes a hot shower since he was drench in rain from earlier today. The steam surrounding him from the showers, Logan was lost in his thoughts. He thought about dreams he had from yesterday and today, but what he's thinking more about is Kendrick. He has always been cautious even though he allowed Logan to go with him, he wouldn't reveal so much about himself either, that was just him being very private. However, it's only his first time meeting so he still has some hopes that he'll find out more of him.
Finishing his time in the shower, he came out and saw Kendrick holding a towel, he was waiting for his turn to shower.
"Hope I didn't keep you waiting"
"No I'm fine"
"Alright then, your turn to get yourself refreshed"
Kendrick got up and went into the bathroom where he closes the door behind him and locks it.
As Logan dresses himself, he then has another thought. How does Kendrick look like?
That's another thing Logan wants to hear...actually want to see. That's another thing that Kendrick wouldn't like to let Logan see or what.
After he got into his boxers and white shirt, he searched in his bag for his phone to call Wade and let him know where he is now to make sure he doesn't get worried as hell if he comes home to find him gone.
Somewhere in California, in a campsite of a Federation army deep in a forest, Wade, Marx and Carol were exausted from the assault, they had to retreat and since they were overpowered by the Americans as well as the Ghosts.
The three share the same tent as always, never wanting to sleep with others.
"At least we never got hurt"
"Yeah Carol...man I almost got caught by a grenade explosion"
"Well you're still in one piece Marx"
"Say I wonder how Logan is right now..."
"He might be bored as hell, but I don't know, I'll call him" It was a good timing when his phone rang and saw his brother calling him.
"I'll be outside alright guys"
"Just watch yourself"
"Of course Carol" Wade gave a reassuring smile as he gets out of their tent and went to a private place where no one will disturb him, even if it's dark right now in the forest.
"Hey Logan"
"Oh thanks god Wade, you're still alive..." Wade hears a sigh from Logan
"Yeah, so are Marx and Carol."
"Where are you right now?"
"Oh just in a camp that's in a forest where we're sleeping"
"Oh...never thought there's reception even if the war caused everything to fall apart"
"Yeah, what about you? What have you been doing?"
"Well...I went to Caracas just to join in on the celebration of Federation Day that's going to happen tomorrow"
"Oh...that's great"
"Yeah, I'm also with a soldier who's also on break, his name's Kendrick"
"Huh?! Kendrick?! Wow, you're with him?!"
"Uh...yeah? Why's that you asked?"
"Well, let's just say this guy's mysterious and wouldn't let anyone go near him. How did he let you tag along with him?"
"Well...he saved me from a speeding car that's gonna run me over"
"Holy shit! You're not hurt right now are you?"
"Nah I'm alright, still in one piece, no worries"
"Ah...I'm glad...Just be careful alright"
"Well I ain't the one in the field ya know"
"Yeah...You should be there..."
"I know...I should be there to help your asses man"
"Hah blame Rorke"
"Yep, I wonder why he wouldn't let me..."
"Er...yeah...I wonder..." Wade started to feel a bit nervous since he just lied to him once again
"Um...you okay? You sounded down or something..."
"No I'm fine Logan, I'm alright"
"O-okay then, you three be careful out there"
"We will. See ya Logan, take care"
"Yeah...you too"
Wade hangs up and looks up at the night sky as he felt a slight guilt swimming in his body
"God... I've been lying to him... I'm sorry Logan..." Wade sighs
However, due to the darkness covering the forest, he didn't notice a dog was hiding in the bushes where it's watching him.
"Logan...Riley, come back now" a voice commanded the dog named Riley from the comms to return to wherever he came from as it obeys.
Somewhere deep in the forest, Riley dashes back to where he came from as he found his master, emerging from his hiding spot. The man is in his army uniform, in fact, he's wearing a Ghost uniform, wearing face paint unlike other Ghosts who usually where their masks. Riley makes a whimper sound at him as he tried to comfort him...
"I know Riley...but we don't know if that's really him...we don't know if he's still alive..." his green eyes began to turn watery and shut them close to keep a single tear from slipping
"First mom...then dad...now Logan... We don't know if it's him that man was talking to... If he's alive...then I hope he never broke like Rorke... That piece of shit is gonna pay for what he's done to me." he clenches his fist filled with sorrow and anger for what Rorke has done to him.
David...who calls himself Hesh...Logan's real big brother...was spying on Wade just now. He couldn't tell if that's really his brother Logan, or the Logan he heard was a different one since there are other people who's name is Logan, he couldn't tell.
"Come on boy, let's go back now..." Hesh sighs and he gets up as he and Riley ran off and return to the base stealthly with no problems.
And that's all for this chapter. I don't know if I did well for this one, but hey, that's why I ask for your thoughts
So... Logan meets Kendrick, a soldier who's mysterious, private and secure and is also very deadly and somehow does things that seems weird like how he goes to faraway places in less then a second to putting people to sleep to surviving even the deadliest disaster he gone through. Since he's mysterious, from his past to his looks, I'll leave you guys into thinking or guessing about him. After all he's really mysterious. Also, I'll leave you guys to thinking what language did Kendrick just spoke and think of what "putang ina mo" means in English
And it looks like Hesh heard Logan & Wade's conversation, though he couldn't tell whether he's alive or still dead since other people can also have a name Logan, but looks like Hesh is really onto them.
