Chapter 138

I don't know this place, but this is not the weird thing. The weirdest thing is that I can see myself sitting at a table with a few books in front of I'm at a pizzeriae. I'm looking at them with tears in my eyes for a reason I don't know. I look around me and realize that Am I waiting for my order?

I stare at my face and it's easy to tell that I look sad. Something must have happened, but I don't know what it is. I walk closer to the sitting version of me and my eyes scan the names of the books on the table. The covers seem to be something I would enjoy. Suddenly, the place I'm at turned into a cloud of fire and smoke. For a few seconds, my ears stop working. Everybody around me is harmed one way or another, but I'm not. In fact, it feels like I'm invisible to everyone. I look at the other version of me that was once sitting at the table beside the window, and I find her unde?

Something seems to pull me out of the state of trance I'm in and I push myself to get up. I stare more at that other version of me and see a wound on my temple and blood on my hands.

This wounded version ends up getting out of the destroyed place and I watch a paramedic as she guides me to an ambulance.

When she asks me if I want to call someone, I tell her I want to call Silas. I place my phone to my ear and all I manage to say when he picks up is his name.

"Silas!" I gasp as I jump up from my sleep. My heart is beating so fast it hurts. I place my hand on my heart and look around my bedroom, trying to understand what has just happened.
