Gavin woke with a start. His head was foggy, and he was having trouble remembering the events of before. Then, he realized he was in a bed…and it wasn't his bed. It all came back to him.
The necklace, the blade project, him being able to manipulate metal, the world changing, Shaun kissing him…SHAUN!
"Where's Shaun?", he said, panicking and looking around him.
He noticed that he was in the same room as before, though no one else was there. He heard muffled voices coming from somewhere else. He got up to investigate, and found himself at a door in a hallway, listening closely to the voices.
"Where did they come from!", A voice asked. It sounded female, and it was light. A lot like Lucy.
"I don't know! How am I supposed to know?", Another female voice replied. This was sounded deeper, and a teensy bit scratchy. Much like Rebecca.
"Luce, love, calm down. We can figure out as soon as they wake up." , He heard a shockingly familiar voice ask. Shaun? No, it sounded older, more worn out. Couldn't be.
"Yeah. But, did you see that kid with the red hair? He looked a lot like you, Shaun. The other kid, though, he seemed to have energy floating around him. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him who brought them here", A voice that sounded like Desmond asked.
They all sounded older, and a lot more worn out, and tired.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming to the door. He sprinted with a speed he never knew he had back to the bed, and did so soundlessly, though he had no idea how.
They came in just as he was pretending to wake up, pulling the covers off.
"Oh, you're awake!", Non-Rebecca exclaimed.
"Awesome! Now we can figure out where he came from!", Non-Desmond said.
I noted that they all looked like older versions of his friends. How strange and coincidental.
Non-Lucy elbowed him in the ribs. "Jesus, Desmond, a little over eager?"
"No!", he responded, angrily.
I cough loudly. "I'd like to see Shaun, if that's okay.", I say.
They all look surprised at me, then look at the Non-Shaun.
"How do you know my name? And why me?", he asks.
I stare at him, confused.
"Um, no, not you, the person I came here with. His name is Shaun, though I see that it's yours too.", I reply.
"and that must mean you three are Desmond, Lucy, and Rebecca" I continue, pointing at each of them in turn.
They all stare at me in shock. I can see that I'm right. Just when I was thinking things couldn't get ANY worse, my senses heighten like before when I opened the necklace, and my vision gains a bluish hue, which is new, based upon the experience of the first time. I'm guessing it came from taking the object in the necklace.
Then, I notice something else. They're bodies are glowing. All in blue. Plus, I can see another body in another room, lying down.
Must be Shaun.
I get up and head towards the body, but am stopped by a hand on my wrist. It's Shaun 2's (I decided 2 would be better than non, a lot easier to say and think) hand locked onto my arm, an expression of recognition on his face.
"What?", I ask, semi-angry of the fact that he's holding me back from Shaun.
"You're using eagle vision, I can see it", he responds.
"Eagle vision?", Desmond 2 asks.
"Please let go of me. I don't know what will happen if you don't", I reply, pleading
I truly don't. As soon as he grabbed me, I felt an animalistic urge to break his arm, and it is slowly growing the longer he is touching me. It must be the senses thing. I guess it comes with me having the power.
"What is making me?", he asks.
"PLEASE!", I respond, panicking, trying to take his hand off, "I promise I won't do anything, just please!"
He looks at me quizzically. He's contemplating it. Too late.
In the next second, I grab his arm, flip him over, and knock him out by punching his head down to the ground, a loud crack resounding.
"Shit!", I say, backing up quickly, " I couldn't control myself!"
I sit in the corner, staring at my hands. I put them to my face and start sobbing, trying to forget what I had just done.
A few seconds later I feel Lucy 2's hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me. My heightened senses had long since fallen back to normal working condition, so I didn't feel any predatory urge to hurt.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I couldn't control myself", I say crying.
I look up to see her smiling.
"It's okay, we could see that you didn't mean to.", she says, a comforting lilt to her voice.
"How?"
"Well, we could see you become distant when it happened, your eyes went cloudy. We've seen the same symptoms before in someone else"
"But I hurt him!"
"He'll be fine, don't worry. He's an assassin"
I hear this word and almost jump away in fright. He's an Assassin? Well, its official, I'm in a different universe. The Shaun I know would never become a true assassin. He would probably graduate from the school and request a job from the order, forcing himself out of the loop.
Shaun! I'd forgotten again!
"Can I see Shaun? The one I came with", I clarify.
"Sure, he's just in that room", she says pointing down the hallway to the last door on the right.
"Grazie", I say, speaking Italian.
What? I know Italian! Besides, it's fun to speak.
As Gavin walks into the room, he notices that Shaun is awake.
"Shaun?" he asks.
"Gavin? Oh thank god! I thought you'd disappeared! Where are we?", he inquires, after having gotten up and hugging him, burying his head into Gavin's chest.
"Um, would you believe Alternate Dimension?"
"Considering what's been going on, yes, yes I would"
"Oh thank god, I was worried you wouldn't believe me. I mean it's pretty far-fetched. I wonder how we got he-"
He's cut off by Shaun kissing him, effectively shutting him up.
Gavin hums into the kiss, happy to be with Shaun again.
Then they hear a soft gasp coming from the door frame. Gavin breaks the kiss to see Rebecca 2 looking at him in shock and anger.
Well, Merda.
AN: JESUS! THIS STORY! GAH!
...sorry 'bout that. It's just getting harder to stick with this story, it's getting pretty complicated.
Sorry this chapter is shorter, running low on creativity. I'll need to fill up soon.*looks for sketchbook*
For those of you who don't know Italian(lol):
Grazie=Thanks
Merda=Shit
Well, Merda.
