When I walked through the gate all I saw was a room like space and another gate right across it but before I could take a step towards it my vision blacked out and my body fell limp on the cold hard ground.
'Ugh my head… where am I?' I pondered but before I could get a grasp of where I was a hand suddenly grabbed my collar and forced me to look at him. My eyes went wide with shock as this was my bully Jack and his entourage.
"Well well well look who we have here if it isn't the kid who murdered his parents." My face visibly paled at those words, words I have heard in a long long time. "Shouldn't a murder er like you go to jail instead of being here." One of jacks lackeys said "Yea they should lock him up before he murders us next." The other lackey said while snickering.
I bit my lower lip so hard blood started spilling out but I didn't care all I wanted right now was to give these guys payback for what they've done but before I could do anything a voice rang out and I knew it all too clearly. "Hey stop bullying him." A young girl stood seemingly angry it was Amanda his one and only friend… and his first love.
"Get out of here Amanda or do you want to end up like him." Jack threatened but Amanda didn't back down in fact she seemed more fired up than before as she suddenly pulled out a phone and showed a image to Jack, he visibly paled and I could tell he was scared at whatever that image was.
"You wouldn't…" He said trying to sound intimidating but the slight shaking in his voice gave it all away "Oh but I would Jack or do you want me to prove it to you?" Jack let go of me but he was angry very angry but he and his group reluctantly left without putting up a fight.
"Are you okay Nyrix?" Amanda said with a smile that seemed off. Nyrix…? That name felt 'off' for some reason but he quickly ignored it. "Yea I'm okay Amanda thank you." He took her hand and quickly got up.
"Did they hurt you?" She said with eyes full of seriousness. "No they didn't you stepped in before they could." When I said that her eyes quickly grew soft but there was this glint in her eyes as if she was looking at prey, but I quickly chalked it up to my imagination.
"You need to learn to stand up for yourself I'm not always going to be here." She said placing her hands on her hips "yes yes I know I'll try." I replied raising my hands slightly in defeat. "Come on let's go you owe me some lunch after this." My heart was struck by invisible pain at the sound of those words "do I really have to pay?" I asked as she quickly shot me a glare. "Yes." My wallet is going to crumble at this rate." He said dejected.
As he walked he kept getting this weird feeling from her and how she called his name, it felt like it wasn't… his name but his mind was suddenly fogged up with anger at his bullies and how they disrespected his parents. But the feeling never left him.
