"Oh, how has the mighty fallen."
That voice, Ash felt his body turning cold,
His mind was racing in different directions, looking for answers that he wasn't sure existed.
'How is he here?'
It was someone whom he really wanted to forget about as a whole and move on, but somehow, he was here.
He tried looking around, but his body was frozen in place,
He couldn't even feel his own body to begin with, and worst still, he was stuck in an awkward position with both hands and legs in front of him, while being in a position looking like he was being flung back .
Apparently, Ken had closed the distance between both of them and attacked, sending him flying back while he remained in his punching position,
"You look horrible .... I can't believe that this is you. You look like shit."
The voice said again, this time filled with disdain,
This time, Ash could feel his presence around him and his soft footstep echoing around the hall as he approached from behind him, soon revealing himself standing in front of Ash, who felt his heart drop.
Ash denied every possibility of it being true, but he was in front of him.
A young man who looked like one in his late-twenties , with grey hair and pale skin, an unnatural tone, and a pair of deep green eyes. eyes.
Ash knew who the person was and was more surprised to see himself or who he used to be in the past,' Alex Arden,' a name he never wanted to remember.
"Oh, I forgot you can't talk," he said, feigning surprise, before snapping his finger,
and almost immediately, Ash fell to the floor, and the pain resumed, and he was hurting all over and was barely able to move,
Alex gave him a scornful look as if he were looking at an existence that seemed to be a bug to him.
"Look at your sorry state ….. I don't know what you are thinking, but you are not thinking like us," he said, getting to his level this time, wearing a smile that sent a shiver down his spine.
He wasn't normally supposed to be scared of himself, but he knew what he did as Alex Arden, and it wasn't things he wanted to be proud of.
" I... I... wanted a change, "Ash said, trying very much to move his body, but it was all to no avail; the pain was excruciating, and he could only grit his teeth and endure .
" change? Now that's not a word you get to hear every day." Alex stopped for a second, looking at Ash, before pinching the bridge of his nose to say something as if he was tired of scolding a child
"No matter where you go or what you do or who you are born to, terror and destruction always follow you , you keep forgetting that ….. I'm literally not surprised you got a jail,
" If you remember correctly, we woke up in a graveyard two times before this one, " Alex said in a cold tone, not matching his words, obviously not happy with anything that was going on,
And Ash felt chills just recalling those memories.
"It will be different this time," Ash said, still refusing to back down, making Alex groan loudly like he was so close to crashing out on a little kid.
" says the kid in jail …ugh…. what happened the last time we tried that ... you ended up skewered, like be serious for once and stop thinking like a child think like the monster we once knew .... You were molded with pain so I want you to show that bastard what kind of a monster that you are and no one I mean no one is above you so wake up us son of a bitch " Alex lAshed out on Alex who was severely confused .
"What do you mean by we've tried this before ? " Ash had no recollection whatsoever about what Alex was talking about
And looking at him now, he could see that he was wearing a frown, which disappeared almost as it entered.
"Yeah, that always happens," he clearly heard those words being muttered out of his mouth, and before he could ask the question that was now bothering him, Alex interrupted.
"Don't ask because I'm not going to answer ..... just focus on a pile of unimportant problems... I don't want to see you blind next time we meet. It's somewhat irritating. I have to go before they find me here."
Alex said, placing a finger in front of Ash, was now more confused, hearing.
'They' were making him question who the people were who were after him, but before he could ask, he felt a pain in his forehead as Alex flicked him in the head, after which he suddenly had the sensation of inertia .
As if he was being pulled before suddenly crashing into something, and the same wave of pain bombarded his consciousness, causing him to groan,
Looking around with his blurry eyes, he noticed that Alex was gone and everything was back to normal, leaving him angry.
He was incensed with what he had heard from him, and he had questions which needed answers, like :
Who were they ? ,
Who was after Alex ?
Who was after him ?
What did he mean by they had tried these methods before?
Only for him to be skewered ? , who skewered him ?.
A thousand plus questions ran through his head, but he had no answer, and the person who seemed to have it had mysteriously disappeared into thin air after putting him in a confused state, and worse still, Alex wasn't acting himself.
He knew him, and a few things existed that could threaten him, but he couldn't even remember those.
Hell, he couldn't even remember much of anything; it was as if he were missing a part of his memories, making him pale .
'Something is not right,' he thought, trying to move his body, only for the pain to force him down ,
Ash was feeling confused, trying to move his body, the pain was overwhelming, and he couldn't think properly.
His eyes met Alex, who had his back to him, and every feeling he was going through, both frustration and anger, built up looking for an outlet.
'This guy is still here. '
