As I stared in pure curiosity, seeing the man flee in the forest, a question circled around my head.
Is this my sign? Should I follow?
And as I was stuck thinking, it seemed my gut made the decision before my brain could respond. As if going on auto pilot, I went to peruse this mystery guy. Whatever happened wouldn't matter now, nothing in life matters. So if he turns out to kill me, that'll be fine. As long as it could be painless or quick. As i slowly crept after the guy, it seemed that my head started to buzz and become more foggy. But all i was set on was following my sign. i slowly gained more courage to run after the man faster, almost catching up to him. And then we came to a small clearing. I stayed hidden behind a tree, watching the man stay still. Hearing his heavy breathing over here got me excited yet anxious. What was this guy like? And who was he?My vision clouded over all of a sudden, as if I was going to faint. But then it cleared. Something appeared in front of the man, it was humanoid with the limbs and stuff, but it was tall and completely white with no face. It seemed to talk, not out loud, but into the guys mind. And somehow I could hear it.And then the man turned around, looking directly at me.
Shit-
My mind went blank as my vision disappeared. But then it all stopped and I could see again. But I was in the clearing as the thing towered over me. "I can feel your hurt, child. Your pain and hurt within you. And I can also feel the anger and apathy in your soul. You are hurt, lost within a world of cruel people . But I can save you from your misery, as long as you work for me, child. Or you must die knowing a secret that you'll forever keep in your soul. A secret that such creatures like me lurk around this dimension and the universe." It's words brought a smile across my face. This was my sign, and something's out there that helped me."I'll work for you" I say with a shaky voice, not out of fear but out of excitement. I don't know how, but it's as if it told me how I'd be working for it.One of its tendrils slithered around my wrist, holding it tight in its grasp.
Thank you for my new rebirth
"Aaron, once you are marked, you can't go back, do you understand ?"
A new purpose
"…"
And a new life
"Yes"
