Tok!...tok!...tok...tok...tok!..tok!!...chewiii!.., the sound of the chalk was louder than usual, pencils falling on the ground were creating booming sounds 'Boom', my eyes were trembling and it was difficult for me to focus, my hands were wait and my body could not stop trembling out of fear, all this because of one person, she was smiling through out the lesson, I had planned to expose her to my aunt when she came back but she is not around for the moment, so I am all alone.
"okay class!, today we would discourse on a famous book, entitulated 'Beauty and the beast', I am sure you all have come in contact with this title in several situation so today we are going to discourse on the authors biography."
I could hear the teacher's voice, but could not comprehend what he was saying, ignoring the teacher's lesson, in other to cool myself, I laid my head on the bench and closed my eyes putting myself into a deep slumber which ended up carrying me away.
"*where am I?, this place is so peaceful and refreshing, how I wish, I remain in this place for life, so appeasing"
On the surface of a lake, my body was floating on a crystalline blue water with small dots shining like stars, the sky was bright and sunny, no presence of clouds, and no noise, was this what people called safe heaven, if so mine was great, the worries and tress caused by that witch was fading away. Drowning myself inside this paradise I slowly closed my eyes.
"Hmm!?, where are this clouds coming from?"
They skies suddenly turn dark, and unfriendly clouds appeared, the darkness created my this clouds, blocked the light from the sun turning the environment dark, the dark clouds started coming together as to form one huge and dark cloud, their formation was more of a spiral gathering, I could no longer remain calm, this was not a safe heaven but a nightmare happening.
"shit!...,respect time, nightmare occurs at night not during the day!!"
coursing the clouds, I tried all ways to move but my effort was all futile, I could neither move nor even shake a finger, watching at the sky coming down at me the unrealistic happened.
The huge cloud turn into a giant and large face, forming a mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, the eyes were empty and a void replaced the surface where the eyes where, the clouds gradually formed a hollow face in the sky.
The hollow face looked down at me, how did I know he was looking down at me, simple, I was the only thing he was facing right now, but what freaked me, was the fact that, as time passed the distance between me and the dark hollow face was getting closer, I tried to shout, but my voice was off, and soundless, in despair, I tried a new attempt of moving my body, no hope.
It covered the distance between me and him and stop at the level of a two floors building, when I expected and prayed for everything to end here and the dream to stop, but the contrary of what I expected happened, hollow face started crying, his tears were crimson blood, they tears flowing out of his void eyes fell like rain and turn the blue sea into a red sea, he violently opened his mouth, the mouth was filled with thousands hands were packed inside his mouth, I could hear voices coming out of the mouth.
/"Beware of those with red eyes!!, beware of those living in Eden!!, Beware of everybody!!, Beware of them!, yes them!!, they are they people of end without a beginning"/
At the series of voice ringing out from the hollow's mouth, men, women, children all different voices could be heard, they were all saying and repeating the same sentence, Beware.
"Beware of who!?, which red eyes!?.. my voice, I can speak again!!"
Rejoicing the fact that my voice was back, I asked back the same question.
"What or who are you?, I should be cautious about what?"
They hollow did not answer my question but instead thousands hands shot out of his mouth and hit the spot I was, dragging me deep inside the sea, from there, I could not believe my eyes, one big cyclope eye was staring at us, it was so large that, the hollow shape face was like a child in front of it.
"Where is this place!?"
But instead of answering me, the hands were dissipating and the space and environment was distorting, everything was fading away, it is at that moment I realized I was getting up.
/"Beware...beware...beware "/
with that, every turn dark.
********
Getting up from my chair, I was sweating, and breathing hard.
"what a strange dream!...Hmm?"
They class was empty, school had long finished, they sky was getting dark, putting a complicated expression.
"hehe!....I slept the whole day!, and nobody woke me up"
Picking my bag, I stared at Alice sit, before exiting the class, closing they door, the corridor was dark, arriving the stairs to go down, a sound caught my attention.
'sreeeechh!!...scrreech!...'something scratching the wall, I heared the noise deep inside the corridor, the noise was like heading my direction, and the louder the sound the figure of some one was revealing it self.
"...?, Sonia? what are you doing here? school had long finished"
Sonia was are class delegate, she organize all the activities of the class and alwas goes back early, it is usually rare to see her at school at this time, her eyes were close and she was still in her school uniform, stipulating that, she never left school but instead stayed, why did she do that?
"I should be the one asking you, how did you manage to see the hollow face ?"
Eyes still closed she answered bluntly to my question and asked hers.
"I should be the one saying that, young man, I still wonder, how an outsider could connect his soul with the Hollow Queen?"
"Hey!?, what are you saying Sonia, are you alright, you look tired, why is your voice sounding more manly"
She slowly open her eyes, and revealed a crimson blood eye, my body immediately when backward, lost for words, a series of information started flashing in my memory.
/"Beware of those with red eyes!!, beware of those living in Eden!!, Beware of everybody!!, Beware of them!, yes them!!, they are they people of end without a beginning"/
"Beware of them, what they, it was not only a dream.....ahhh my head!!"
They information were flashing to fast and my head could not support it, staring at Sonia approaching me with a baseball bat and a big smile, I thought my end was near.
"Sorry boy anybody having
a connection with the Hollow queen has to be eliminated for Eden to prosper!"
"What!?"
lifting up a baseball bat ready to hit me, I could only close my eyes, my end has finally arrived, I am going to die without even knowing how I entered this mess, who is the Hollow thing, and Alice identity, thinking of Alice, my aunt's face flashed in my head, she was really the only one who gave me courage.
As the usually say, it is only at the moment of your death that you see your life flashing in your memory, and you can see what you missed and what you had gain, from there I realized something odd, my memories end at the moment my parents left me, but I was sure I had more memories before arriving Eden town, what was the meaning of this, more questions were popping out of my head, I had to find out the end of this story, opening my eyes.
"if you think I would live a girl bit me you most be joking, you bitch"
"Hahahaha!!, the class sheep has developed wings hey!!!"
"Well said!, how can you live a weak girl kill you, even though his soul is that of a man"
"Huh!?"
"Huh!?"
"Sorry for interrupting your date but I came for the person destin to kill me"
"Alice!?, what are you doing here?"
climbing the stairs, she had a knife, the same knife like last time, At this moment, I was in a critical situation, my head was still in serious pains due to the constant memory flashing, both girls had weapons, I was totally defenseless and expose, but when I thought, I had to fight two at once and unexpected situation occurred. Sonia was trembling and change target and faced Alice.
"What!?"
"So it was really you, I knew I had sense something coming out from you they day you arrived, your appearance have changed a lot, you were the one killing are kinds this days, you burst their eyes in other to prevent them from seeking a new body and destroyed their faces as cover, am I right 'Hollow Queen'?"
".......Wow, as I see you guys are already suspecting my return, this poor girl really did not have luck to fall on a servant of a monarch, let her soul rest in peace"
Finishing her words, Alice disappeared from her spot living a Crack floor on the spot, appearing in front of Sonia or still the person in Sonia's body 'Aluka', with a judo like movement she when with a forward kick with the leg on Aluka's stomach making him kneel, kneeling on the floor he vomiting a mouth full of blood, Alice did not end there, pivoting her body like in martial arts her leg kicked Aluka's face sending him out through the window, and with a sound Tood!!, I could hear the sound of a body hitting violently the floor, all this action did not take no less than 10 seconds, it was excessively fast to catch with the eye.
I was shivering with fear, could not believe I really wanted to fight this beast head on, and the one that was thrown out was not ordinary as well, my body fell on the ground, I could only see defeat if she came for me.
"Who the hell are you guys?"
"Oh!?, nothing special"
putting her once soft leg down, which I did not consider soft after seeing her sending someone flying, she started speaking in a medieval manner.
"O chosen one, you were chosen by the Hollow Queen as to become her faceless knight and fight for her, for they day will come were he has to face the monarch, and to be the only one to free her from her eternal prison be prepared to face death and sorrow in your life"
"Huh!?"
