Destroying My Own World

"Did something happen in headquarters?" Rozan asked Jeanne who sat in front of him on the plane.

"I don’t know. I asked Lyneth and she didn’t know anything as well. Looks like Mykel forgot something?" Jeanne answered quietly since she didn’t want Mykel to hear their conversation.

"There’s no way Mykel forgot about something that made him look so anxious like that. This isn’t the first time he like this though. Remember when we arrived in Beijing? He was like that as well, but this time it’s worse than back there," Aurea said as she looked at Jeanne who sat next to her. "Should we ask Elena? She has been sitting next to him the whole time, and she should know something," Aurea suggested and looked at Elena.

"I guess we should wait until Elena gets off of her seat," Gunnar said from across Rozan’s seat.

It was early in the morning when Mykel suddenly told everyone to prepare to leave. They had been flying for six hours and they still had no idea what was going on. They did ask Mykel before they boarded the plane, but Mykel ignored them and his eyes were empty.

Elena seemed to be talking with Mykel, but they couldn’t hear anything. Rozan could sense a magic barrier around those two that made their conversation can’t be heard by the others. Whatever they were talking about, Elena looked anxious as well, and she had been on the edge ever since she boarded the plane.

"She’s up. Go and ask her, Jeanne," Rozan said as he patted Jeanne’s left shoulder.

Jeanne looked at Elena’s troubled face, and she slowly raised her hand and waved at Elena. Elena looked at her, but she smiled at Jeanne as she shook her head. Elena then went to the bathroom without saying anything to them.

"Seriously, what’s going on with Mykel? Why he’s always so secretive about anything even though we have been with him for years? It’s like he always put walls between all of us," Aurea said and she looked a bit angry.

"Isn’t he only secretive about his past? Doesn’t that mean this has something to do with his past?" Rozan asked.

The moment Rozan said that Mykel looked over his shoulder and glanced at them. They all immediately went quiet and thunder struck the plane, making it almost lose its power.

"Let’s just not talk about it," Jeanne said.

The flight back to New York was a bit rough because the biggest hurricane was happening and on its way there. Everyone was a bit scared because of it, and the landing gear got damaged when the pilots tried to force the landing under Mykel’s order.

Mykel walked out of the plane and saw the sky was so dark like it was in the middle of the night even though it was noon. The heavy rain made his whole body wet as soon as he stepped his foot outside, but he didn’t care about it and went straight to the car with Elena.

"Should we follow him?" Aurea asked.

"Since he didn’t say anything, I think it’s okay, right?" Jeanne asked back.

Everyone decided to follow Mykel’s car and left the airport with a strong wind that was enough to shake the cars.

They had no idea where Mykel was going, and they could barely see anything because of the heavy rain. The driver had to drive carefully but at the same time had to keep up with Mykel’s car. It didn’t take long until Mykel’s car parked on the side of the road.

"What’s this? A cemetery?" Sven asked as he looked out the window.

"Mykel just get out of the car, let’s go!" Rozan said and he immediately left.

Mykel walked into the cemetery as the strong wind blew his hair and the heavy rain struck his face like bullets. He knew everyone was following him, but he wasn’t bothered by it. Suddenly, he ran when he saw one of the cemeteries that seemed to have been dug out.

Everyone decided to run to catch up with Mykel, but then they saw Mykel standing in front of an open cemetery. He then jumped down and it shocked them why he suddenly went down there. When they arrived, they looked at the name on the gravestone.

"Sasha Ferdinand," Jeanne said.

"That’s his ex-girlfriend that killed herself, right?" Gerrard asked.

"Yeah, and it seems that someone dug up her grave," Vincze answered.

"Who’s sick enough to dig up her grave?" Sven asked with his eyes squinted.

Mykel put his hand on the coffin as he took a deep breath, and when he opened the coffin, there was nobody inside. His heart stopped for a moment and he was speechless as he tried to process what was happening.

"So it wasn’t just a dream. She got resurrected," Elena said.

Everyone looked at Elena with shocked expressions, and then they looked at the coffin and saw scratches inside the coffin. It was enough to tell that someone was desperately trying to get out.

"What do you mean by that? What are you two talking about?" Aurea asked.

"I had a dream last night. I saw Sasha inside her coffin with black mist covering her whole body. She was trembling in fear and then she screamed as she tried to leave the coffin. I don’t know what happened, but it felt so real," Mykel answered as he kept staring at the coffin.

Elena offered her hand to Mykel because he had been standing still inside the grave and the mud was already covering half of his legs. Mykel got out of the grave and was still staring at it because he still couldn’t believe it.

"It’s him, isn’t it? The Lord," Jeanne asked as she looked at Mykel.

"If there’s a God who can bring back the dead, it must be him," Mykel answered as he nodded his head in agreement.

"Do you want to go and look for her, Dad?" Elena asked. "She was calling your name, that meant she wanted to see you," Elena pointed out.

Mykel suddenly looked in the distance and hurriedly left the cemetery. Everyone followed him from behind and they all got into the car again to follow him. They were brought into an abandoned apartment building that hadn’t been refixed or rebuilt.

Mykel took the stairs and went to the seventh floor, and when he arrived, he saw one of the doors open. He looked at the door and someone was forcing their way in because the damage seemed fresh. He then went inside and saw all the mess.

"This place... was it here when you created your novel with her?" Elena asked.

"Yes, but this room kept empty since everyone knew she killed herself here. So nobody dared to buy or live here," Mykel answered as he looked around. "She thought her stuff was still here, but all her belongings had been long gone," Mykel pointed out.

"Do you know where else she would go? Perhaps her parents’ house?" Lyneth asked.

"No, her parent’s house is in California. She can’t get there even if she wanted to and she doesn’t have money to go there either. She’s stuck in this city, somewhere," Mykel answered.

Mykel decided to sit down on the bed and tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath. He never thought something like that would happen, and he realized that The Lord was a schemer just like him.

"We can go and look for her," Jeanne said.

"No. That would be impossible. If The Lord wants us to not find her, we won’t be able to find her, just like when I tried to find Anzel," Mykel answered, but then he furrowed his eyebrows and remembered something. "The coordinate..." Mykel said as he reached out his phone from his pocket, but it was wet and broke his phone.

"What coordinate?" Rozan asked with his eyebrows raised.

They all followed Mykel again, and this time he went to the bunker to get the coordinates again. When they got into Anzel’s room, Mykel was laughing in disbelief as he shook his head because the coordinate that was carved on the wall disappeared as if it wasn’t there in the first place. He knew where it was, but finding the exact place would be really hard.

"So that’s how you want to play the game? Then I’ll play, but in my own way, just you wait," Mykel said with a serious expression.
