Chapter 1 - 3: Weirdo

I was ready to face my death. I closed my eyes.

Suddenly, a golden light penetrated my eyes. I was surrounded by streams of golden light emanating from the sky. The light was so intense that I cannot open my eyes fully. Those streams of light penetrated every single shark until they all submerged.

I was sitting on the floor, sweating profusely. I was back in the classroom again. This time the weirdo had stood up, but she was not looking at me. I tried to recall what had happened before, but the intense pain in my head made it impossible. Marcus gripped my hand and helped me to stand up.

I could see two strangers standing besides me. ‘Who are you?’ I asked them. Marcus whispered besides me, saying that these strangers suddenly appeared and did something weird so that I waked up. Why are there so many weirdos?

The two strangers didn’t seem to care much about me. What they did was just staring at the weirdo. The weirdo was murmuring something again. I could see one of the strangers closed his eyes. ‘I’ll cast the defense while you take her down!’ he said to another stranger.

The stranger with both eyes closed stretched his arms. He was murmuring something that I couldn’t hear. Another stranger was doing something different. He kept staring at the weirdo.

All of a sudden Marcus and I were floating on a pool. Streams of blue and green light are shining out from the water. Reflection and refraction made the whole area around the pool totally lightened. Those fine beams of light formed a safety net around the pool. The beams of light became more and more intense, and we could hardly open our eyes

When we were surprised by the light surrounding us, suddenly the light weakened. Darkness covered the area around the pool. However, the light became strong again and both of us felt relief, even though we didn’t really know what was happening.

This didn’t last long; the darkness covered the pool on which we were floating again. This time the streams of light faded. When I opened my eyes, me and Marcus were back in the classroom again.

The stranger that closed his eyes before had fainted on the floor. Another stranger and the weirdo were still glaring to each other. When another stranger saw her friend fainted, she yelled at me, ‘What are you doing there, heal him immediately!’

‘Heal him?’ I asked her. How should I heal him? Using a first aid kit or calling an ambulance. Marcus and I were confused. ‘Hey! Are you deaf? Heal him now or we are going to die!’ She yelled at me again.

I could see her sweating profusely. The weirdo was still murmuring, but it was a bit louder now. Marcus was trying to wake the guy up, but he failed. I didn’t understand what she meant, but I could feel the situation was tense.

What should I do??
