Chapter 5 - Last Night on Earth Pt. 2

I got into bed and stretched out, it was a long day today and I'm still on edge after what happened earlier.

I wish Mom and Dad were here to talk about it with.

*sigh*

I wish I had a family. It's been 5 years since I've seen my uncle and I can't remember much about my parents…

It's been 15 years since my parents died in a car crash. After that, my uncle took me in for the next ten years then disappeared himself. For some reason when my parents died and my uncle disappeared no one came for me. No government people, no family, I was 12 and on my own. They left me everything in the will, so I at least had a home and money for food. A tiny one bedroom apartment but for one it was plenty. I was forced to mature so young, I'm sure that messed up my childhood development a bit.. I've always been told I'm mature for my age. Either that or I'm just lame who knows. 

I made it through school mostly without issues. Probably because I turned to TDK, my master was like a second father to me. Teaching what it meant to be a man. How to be respectable and strong, I wonder what he would say about this situation. I'm no liar, he would believe me surely– 

*ringtone* 

What the.. 

It's Akira, Sora, Koji's, Hinabi and I's group chat.

Sora: guys I still can't get over what we saw tonight. we didn't really talk about it. just all went home like nothing happened. 

Akira: I mean if I'm being honest the lights were weird but when that book started to glow and slammed on the table I was freaked out.

Koji: The voice in my head is what I can't get over. I mentioned it to my parents and they now are asking if I'm on drugs. I had to do a home drug test to prove it to them I wasn't! 

Akira: Your mom is the best, how is Shu doing these days? 

Koji: LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE AKIRA 

Yuki: Today was weird… I mentioned it to my neighbor but she doesn't believe in that sort of stuff so she brushed it off as if I was joking or talking about a book.

*I sent a picture of my hand covered in bandages.*

Hinabi: A MUMMY! At least we know Mira is capable of wrapping it.

Akira: LOL. Mina is so different towards you… I legit broke my leg playing soccer last year and all she did was laugh…

Hinabi: Akira, that was me, not Mina. LMAO

Sora: guys! stay on track. we all saw it. tomorrow after class we should go back and check the book out again. when I got home my Dad asked why Grandpa was crying when I called him…

Sora: i decided to look more into it and it all checks out with what the book explained. the coach, the teammates and my grandfather's friend all vanished. I need to find out the names of the other teammates to be sure.. what if this is what really happened to them?!

Akira: It's just a book.. No way it could say what really happened when the cops couldn't even figure it out. 

Koji: Yeah it would have to be something supernatural. The book did do some odd things though. I want to check it out for some LED lights tomorrow and maybe a hidden speaker.

Yuki: I never believed in any supernatural stuff…. before today. Something really wasn't right with that book..

Akira: Yeah I've never been a believer in it either. If supernatural things were real, we would have videos of it on routube. We don't, so I'm really struggling to make sense of today. . 

Sora: i don't want to believe but its hard not to at this point. that tragedy really messed my grandpa up, if I could figure out any answers for him I will. this book might be the key. 

Sora: will you guys check it out with me again tomorrow? 

Yuki: Duh, can't have you get caught up in this stuff alone.

Akira: I got some time before practice but after classes. 

Koji: I would like to see if the book has pictures of the girls from the first summoning. I'm also down.

Sora: thanks guys ^.^

Hinabi: Later dudes, sleep well.

We all said our goodnights and fell asleep. That night, some of us from the club had horrible nightmares. We were surrounded by death and destruction. Each of us in a new world, dying in various ways depending on the choices we made.. 

4:00AM 

*Ringtone*

Yuki: Guys, is anyone up? 

Sora: whaaaat do you want it's early. 

Akira: I couldn't sleep well either, what's up?

Koji: ….

Hinabi: I was just working out, what's up?

Yuki: I had some pretty messed up dreams last night.

Sora: can't say I had any good ones

Koji: I had wonderful dreams. I don't know what you all are on about….

Akira: I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Yuki you were in my dream, wasn't a good ending.

Hinabi: AKIRA :D You're dreaming about Yuki now? Mina is going to get jealous….Mina was in my dream, which was pretty bizarre as well. That's why I'm at the gym so early. 

Yuki: Lmao, I guess yesterday weirded us all out more than I realized. I'll see you all in class, later. 

I fell back asleep until 7 when my school alarm went off. I made myself some breakfast and took some to Sunny one last time.

"Later Kizawa! Take care of Sunny for me!"

I walked into the classroom, we were not the biggest but we had about 35 people in our class. I walked over to my seat to find Mina sitting in my chair waiting for me. Akira and the rest of the group stood talking about plans for vacation. Anything really to forget about what happened yesterday and the dreams that followed. 

I said looking towards Mina,

"You're here earlier than usual, how'd you sleep?"

Mina stood up grabbing my hand,

"Morning Yuki! Last night was ac—" As she was suddenly dragged away by Hinabi.

Hinabi dragged Mina away,

"Let's go lovergirl! We have vacation plans to make"

The male teacher yelled as he walked into the room.

"Class! Settle down and in your seats." 

Most of the class scurried back to their seats. He started naming off the students' names for roll call. Suddenly the room got quieter and quieter, the sound of the teacher started to fade yes I could still see his lips moving. All I could hear was a voice. Muffled but constant, coming from the back of the room. As if someone was whispering in my ear in some language I couldn't recognize. I looked behind me and laid on a desk propped up against the back wall was the book glowing red.

I stood and turned around in shock. Speechless. Why… Why is the book here… It should be in the library. Why is it glowing!

A luminescent glow radiated from the closed pages as if the red light was trying to free itself from the pages that held it.
