บท 4: So, I died without telling her
Helen did not dare to look back towards the man again. She was deathly scared that he might recognize her. They did not have any disputes or argument so it was only natural that they will greet each other, have others back and be the best of friends they used to be.
She carefully lied down and covered her head with the blanket. With that position she can hear her heart pounding. The sound was drilling into her ear. She grew up loving that man behind her, she died loving him and would probably continue loving him this lifetime if she can't quell that desire in her heart. She was so flustered that she forgot about the circumstance that they were in.
Francis Rey kept looking around. He was sure that the room he was in was not in his previous planet. So, there was a high chance that he was already dead and has transmigrated into the lower dimension. Since he was not a baby, he was sure that he was not reborn. A sudden pain crept to his heart.
"So I died without telling her that I loved her." He said to himself.
He tried hard to remember everything before he passed out. Why did he died? Was there a disaster? An attack? Accident? He was not sure. It felt like a big chunk of his memory was missing. His memory ended at the age of 29.
He was a promising young researcher. His parents were also renowned in their field of research.
"But.." his face paled with the realization. His parents were murdered and all their years of research in a secret project were stolen.
He can't help but to think that he was killed as well. But he refused to totally believe that he died at an early age. He can't perish and leave his dearly beloved alone. He promised himself that he will marry her, love her and protect her for as long as he lives.
A sudden assault of headache hit his head. He felt dizzy and decided to get some sleep ignoring the lady just next to him on another bed. Yes, there was only one woman in his eyes and that has not changed even after death.
As he was trying to sleep, he heard a commotion outside the door. There seem to be numerous people. When the door opened, the noise spread throughout the whole room as if thousands of people came to interrupt his peace and quiet.
He opened his eyes only to see around ten people inside the room. They quickly approached the lady in front of him and bombarded her with lots of questions.
"Honey? Are you alright? Can you speak? Does anything hurt? Were you wounded? Have you eaten?" Thousands of questioned poured in, from the seemingly father, the old lady and the younger girls. From the looks of it, they could be her family. He wanted to protest but he understood that they might have been too worried.
He looked back at what happened a day ago. He remembered waking up after being hit by rock or something in the head. To his surprise, he woke up in an unfamiliar place. Before he could process everything, he saw two girls who were unconscious while another girl and boy stood cemented on the ground. At their front were two weirdly looking creatures with a sword and obvious grim intent.
Without hesitation, he took a rock and threw it on one of the creatures. Before the rock touched the creature, it disintegrated into millions of pieces but Francis used it as a diversion to land in a kick. As the other creature realized what was happening it tried to raised its hand to assault Francis but a tiny hard object hit the creature attracting its attention away from him.
The four people who were being assaulted by the shadows were Madel, Henry, Cheska and Helen. They had been friend for quite a long time now. Henry was the strongest student in the academy, even stronger than some of the professors.
While Madel, was the weakest living being who ever walked the planet, Cheska was the strategist and Helen was the charmer. Helen was not that beautiful but her amiable personality and interpersonal skills are rare talent. Before losing his consciousness, Henry was startled to see that Madel stood rooted unaffected by the spiritual power of the shadows in front of them. He knew his power well.
He can be on par with the teachers when it comes to spiritual powers but he was still suppressed with the overwhelming darkness which surrounded them. Madel having no zhenqi, no clan to nurture her, and no money was the weakest of them all.
He was sure that her weak constitution would immediately crumble under such offense but to his surprise and even horror, she remained standing and holding his hands.
He felt her grip tightened when he was about to fall. She kneeled as he fell on the ground and assisted him to stand up again. While Madel continued to look at the shadows. Henry stood fixated while looking at her with surprise. Before he could look in front, the stone thrown by Francis crumbled on the side of the shadow and a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere trying to land a kick.
Madel also started moving. She released his hand and pick up stones. Everything happened in a flash. He wanted to witness the battle but he fell unconscious.
The shadows were surprised because someone could touch them like they have a physical body. They were injured. Madel flicked her fingers and a bow and arrow appeared. She shot at the shadows without hesitation. The split of seconds gave the shadows enough time to dodge.
They moved closer to Madel but another kick landed on the shadows throwing them against the wall of the nearest building. Madel shoot another arrow and pinned the shadows on the wall. The shadows had their eyes widened in disbelief.
They were affected by the man's kick and physical arrow. If they did not dodge earlier and relied on their non-physical existence, they could have been dead already. As another batch of arrows approached them the shadows used their whole power to break free, but to no avail, the incoming arrows pierced their core and they breathed their last.
Francis, did not know the nature of the shadows so he thought that everything was normal. As he tried to walk out of the scene his vision blurred. When he touched his body he felt a warm fluid in his hands.
"when did I got injured?" he mumbled to himself as he finally collapsed. The next moment, he found himself in an unfamiliar room with rows of bed.
