Chapter 1 - 4: Weirdo

What should I do?

I kept asking myself. I really wanted to wake him up, but countless attempts that Marcus and I had done failed.

‘You fool!’ the female stranger shouted at me. ‘Use your psychic healing you dumb! Quick!’ she scolded me loudly. ‘Psychic healing?’ I was surprised. Was there something called psychic healing? Shouldn’t it be done only by mediums or channelers? When I looked at Marcus, his expression showed that he was sharing the same thought with me.

‘I can’t withstand this demon’s attack anymore; her attack is far stronger than mine! Do the healing now or we are going to die now!’ The female stranger shouted again, but this time I could say that her sound was obviously weaker than before.

How could these things possibly exist in this world? A weirdo that always slept in class and woke up only when the class was over; a man that suddenly fainted and needed psychic healing; a woman that was fighting with a demon… These things simply didn’t exist in this world! Was I in the midst of a dream? Yes, I was dreaming and I could leave now. Why should I care for these?

When I was walking out of the room, suddenly I heard a loud sound. The female stranger had fainted! ‘Please, please use your healing ability, you are a psychic healer. This is not a dream…’ she begged at me. Her sound was much weaker. It was almost impossible for me to hear it.

‘What should we do now, Wyatt? Marcus asked anxiously. The weirdo approached Marcus. She was murmuring something again. In a split second Marcus had fainted as well!

How could she do that? I took out my pocket knife, trying to defend myself from her. I started to believe that the weirdo was a demon. But it was too late. The weirdo approached me while murmuring something that I couldn’t understand. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and waved my knife in front of me.

I was on the top of a mountain. It was snowing heavily. I was chilled by the snow and the cold wind. All I could see was snow around me. Thought it was extremely cold, the scenery was extraordinary. I couldn’t help but enjoyed the scenic view of the mountain top.

Suddenly, the wind became stronger and colder. The beautiful scenery faded away completely. A blizzard had struck the mountain top where I was sitting at! The snowstorm was so violent that I couldn’t withstand the coldness anymore. The blizzard threatened to freeze me up and blow me away. I tried to scream for help but I couldn’t even open my mouth.

‘Please, please stop the blizzard’, I spoke to myself. All of a sudden I felt my solar plexus becoming warmer and warmer. I could see beams of red light covering my whole body. The snow around my body was melted by those streams of light. With the protection of the warm red light, I could withstand the coldness brought by the blizzard.

I was back in the classroom again. The weirdo was puzzled when I opened my eyes. Deep in my heart I knew what I should do…
