Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 23: LOST AGAIN

Both of them start searching through the dark hallways of the organization -- calling out Zyric's name, asking the guards and nurses, but no one had seen him leave.

"Strange thing, that boy was right here. And his payment, all his medicines, everything I..." Raven says to Dr. Hazel.

"No, no, you don't have to worry about that. All that will be fine. But where did he go? I need to meet him quickly," Dr. Hazel says to Raven.

"I... I don't know either. He had been here a couple of minutes ago. I saw him from outside," Raven says in surprise. She was sure that Zyric had not gone outside, because she was watching the door.

After that, Dr. Hazel tries to find Zyric with the help of many people. But they don't find him anywhere.

"Looks like he went somewhere again. I don't know why, and what is happening to this boy," Raven says worriedly.

"Do one thing, come home with me. Don't go alone," Dr. Hazel says softly. She looks once more at the empty bed where Zyric was lying, her eyes filled with confusion and concern.

 

Dr. Hazel turns off the light, but her mind keeps echoing one question--"Where did he go this time?"

On the other side, Zyric somehow opens his eyes. And when he opens his eyes, he sees very big and tall trees in the sky above him. The small light of the moon was falling on him.

"What is this?" Saying this, Zyric somehow stands up and looks around, where it was already dark. This is the same place from where Zyric had disappeared, and he had directly reached his time in the morning in his thinking, but somehow two years had gone by in his time, while only a night had passed here.

"What is this? How did I come back here? And it's night here too," Zyric was saying. Just then, a strange sound came from nearby, and Zyric saw a big tree and hid behind it.

"And what is going on here?" Zyric thinks to himself. His head ached, and to make it all worse, the rest was all too much.

"Oh God! what is happening to me? I do--I do not know whether all this is true. I do not know what will come after this night. I don't understand. God, please help," Zyric thinks to himself. And Zyric remains hidden there all night.

Before he knew it, it was 3:00 a.m. Zyric was sleeping.

Suddenly, Zyric hears some movement, and he sees the same fat insect sitting on his hands.

"You are here? Do you like me?" Zyric asks the fat insect. And the fat insect nods its head up and down in affirmation.

"Woah, you can understand me?" Zyric asks the fat insect with a smile. And the fat insect nods its head again in affirmation.

"Are you a girl?" Zyric asks the fat insect. And the fat insect shakes its head in 'no'.

"Alright, we know that you know what I am talking about. You can answer in yes and no. What place is this?" Zyric asks the fat insect. And the fat insect starts rotating its head in circles, as if it was trying to explain something, but Zyric wasn't going to understand that.

Just then, Zyric hears a faint voice. "Darkness, dark place, darkness." Only this much sound comes there.

"Darkness, darkness, darkness what? Where did this sound come from?" Zyric says, looking all around him.

"Strange thing, where did I hear this voice from? I'm going crazy," Zyric thinks to himself. And after talking a little bit with the fat insect, he goes to sleep.

As soon as morning comes, and soft sunlight falls on Zyric's body, Zyric teleports from his place. When Zyric opens his eyes, he is lying on a bed.

"What is this? Is this a dream or reality?" Zyric says, holding his head. And he gets off the bed. After getting off the stretcher, Zyric goes outside, where he first checks the time and date.

"No, thank God, only one night passed, not two years," Zyric says with a smile.

After this, Zyric looks for Dr. Hazel there.

"Dr. Hazel, she will be at the Monster Tamer School at this time," a doctor there tells Zyric.

"Turn back--you are the one that we were looking for last night, right? Where did you go? We checked the cameras too. You just disappeared somewhere. Oh my God! Everyone got scared. Well, since you're back, go and meet Dr. Hazel," the doctor says to Zyric.

"Yes, thank you." Saying this, Zyric leaves from there and starts heading quickly towards the school.
