At first I was quite sure that i'm just having a nightmare when I found myself tied up in a chair inside what looked like an abandoned warehouse. But as my eyes get used to the darkness my confusion has gotten worse. Cause I'm wide awake now and I'm still not in my room.
This kind of shit doesn't happen in real life. And maybe even if it does. How and why did it happen to me? A minute ago I could swear I was just in my room with Ric and a ghost inside my head. And now I'm here all tied up with a seething headache.
Is this a dream within a dream? If it is then why do my hands feel numb? I need to think clearly.
Did Razor find out I gave him a fake necklace and decided to kidnap me and sell my organs to the highest bidder?
It is the only logical explanation I can think of for ending up in this really bad situation. Because who else wants me dead?
"At last you're awake." Sounds an unfamiliar female voice as she switches on an incandescent light bulb. Not that it helped much cause the warehouse is still dim.
But despite that her voice alerted me. My mind became clearer and somehow my headache got a little bit better.
I started to look around . But it still took a while to register that there were other people in the warehouse. There are actually four of them. And one of them is my roommate Ric?!
I couldn't believe it. Did he mastermind all of these? But why?
"I think he's still a little bit disoriented." a very tall, good looking guy with wavy long hair commented.
"Who are you? What am I doing here? Are you planning to kill me?" I finally was able to ask.
"Hey hold your horses cowboy. No one is planning to kill you." The very tall guy said. The guy is an 8 footer, practically a giant.
"Then why am I tied up here? Maybe you got the wrong person. I'm not rich. My parents are just farmers. They have nothing to offer you." I told them.
"If your parents are just poor farmers then maybe you shouldn't be owing people money," he retorted. He knows about my debt.
"Then you're really Razor's minion?" though i'm having doubts if these are the type of people that would follow Razor's order.
"No we are not." Ric finally answered.
"Then why the hell are you doing this? I don't even recall offending you. I just met you today.''
I'm both angry and confused but I'm also afraid. I don't even know what to feel. I just want some answers but they're mysterious. Its like they don't want to answer any of my questions.
"Who's going to tell him what's really up?" The tall guy is now talking to Ric. He's the most talkative but even he is hesitant to tell me anything of significance.
"Ric what's going on? Please untie me." I begged him.
"If we untie you can you promise not to run away?" the unfamiliar woman asked. I looked at her direction and I almost gasped at the woman looking directly at me. Her doe eye was so mesmerizing that i had to blink just to make sure i'm not under some spell. I decided to just shut up and nod my head. I was afraid she would sense that I was lying.
Of Course I probably wouldn't be able to outrun them anyway. But given the chance I would definitely try. I got nothing to lose and they seem to be unarmed.
The four looked at each other as if they could communicate through telepathy. And without a word uttered, Ric walks towards me and finally unties the rope.
I don't know where my courage and stupidity came from. But the moment my hands no longer feel the numbness that's also when I took my chance.
I pushed Ric with all my might knocking him down and made a run for it. But even before I could reach the door a woman appeared right in front of me.
"You can't really trust the living." She looks at me very disapprovingly. Her cold blue eyes send shivers down my spine.
I stumbled backward from fear. The woman is transparent!!
"Y-ou're that ghost. Y-ou're real," i fumbled.
"Of Course i'm real. You're so damn slow. I'm not just a pigment of your imagination I exists."
"What about them? Are they all ghosts too?" I curiously asked.
"No but they're not human either." She said matter of factly.
"Just like the creature in my dreams." I muttered to myself.
Even though i'm still confused I no longer feel threatened. I don't think they want to hurt me. After seeing all those non human creature in my dreams and even in my waking life I'm kind of used to them already. And finding out these creatures exist in reality has made me realized i'm not crazy after all. I may not be normal but definitely not crazy.
