Chapter 53: KHAOS WILL RAIN! (1/2)
*Thum!* *Thum* *Thum!*
Waking up to the sound of heartbeats, Jake found himself in a dark place.
Suddenly, the place lighted and Jake saw a young teenager, about 18 years, bound to a chair with multiple chains.
The young adult screamed at a hidden figure, demanding it to release him.
The scene changed to a much later version of the previous one. Here, the young adult was riddled with several cuts, each revealing his inner sides.
He kept shaking as the hidden figure used a rather large scalpel to make incisions in his skin, all the way smiling.
Looking at this, Jake felt baffled, 'Strange. This is too familiar.'
After a while, he finally got his answers, 'Hmmm, this boy is extremely handsome. He can't be anyone, but me!'
He wondered, 'Strange. Why do I not remember this?'
Jake pondered as the young adult screamed at the top of his lung. Just one look and Jake could understand that the pain was too much for the boy.
After a while, the young adult stopped screaming.
His face became serene and unattentive as the hidden figure kept cutting his skin while the young man was awake.
The scene changed and Jake's transparent body turned into a blob of light that went into the forehead of the young adult.
The new scene was set in a purple field.
Jake's ghostlike body could see his young self lying on the purple grass and looking at the stars.
Emotionlessly, Jake's young self stared deeply into the souls of the stars, without a hint of his thoughts.
Watching this, Jake smiled, 'This is just like me. I was way more tight and robotic in my past life. If not for M and the Dungeon of Miracles, I wouldn't have changed for the better.'
The scene was interrupted with a wild laugh, ”Hahahaha.”
It did not come from the two Jakes, instead, from a Jake-lookalike which appeared close to Jake's younger self.
The lookalike was just like Jake's younger self but had some spotting differences.
It had blood purple fingernails, earrings, grey eyes instead of Jake's younger self's blue eyes. It dyed the edge of its black hair purple and had a few more crazy features.
It was like Jake decided to become rebellious!
Jake's younger self coldly looked at the lookalike, ”Khaos, I did not come for you. Do not disturb me. I need peace!”
One could tell from the tone of the younger self that he was exasperated.
”Hahahaha, why have you come to hide? Don't you know you are the one invading my private space?” mocked Khaos.
”It is as much my private space as it is yours,” briefly replied Jake's young self as he kept looking at the stars.
”Noice! What are you looking at Jake?” questioned Khaos.
”The Stars.”
”Why? What is in the stars?” mused Khaos.
”Perfection,” Jake's younger self replied, donning a smile that reached his eyes.
”Exactly! Perfection! Jake, let me out, let me free us!” negotiated Khaos.
”No!”
”Why? They are killing us! And you are doing nothing, just hiding inside your mind!” fumed Khaos.
His anger could be seen from his eyes. The moment he took his first angry breath, purple blood tainted the sun, it formed a sea, burying the beautiful grass.
Meanwhile, Jake's younger self did not react. If anything, he was used to this side of Khaos.
For the first time, Jake looked at Khaos, ”You know you are wrong.”
”Where exactly am I wrong? We both know with my powers I could end this fiasco,” challenged Khaos.
”No! It's too risky,” explained Jake.
”I am starting to think. You are just jealous I am the one with the ability,” smirked Khaos, as he cooled down.
”No, you are not. You are just a manifestation of my sealed side,” retorted Jake.
His answer unsettled Khaos.
