Bottle of Stories (76)

The group went downstairs and they are bombarded by the threads scattered on the main floor. Their enemy is wrapped by the threads and was not able to move. "See?" Lealyn winked at Jayson and Kid. "Something is wrong here," said Jayson. "Kid, transport them to the other side of this world," Lealyn requested. "Okay." He opened his palm and closed it. At the same time, the four people vanished and one remained. Jayson touched the shoulder of the woman and it slowly dissipates into thin air. "It's an illusion!" "Four of them are real so where is the last one?" asked Kid. They observed every corner of the house. "Lealyn, above!" Jayson grabbed his knife and jumped toward the woman. Lealyn ducked to the ground to avoid getting hit but she saw the woman about to throw something at Jayson. "Dodge!" Jayson was unable to move mid-air so his face collected most of the dust. He fell to the ground, paralyzed. Kid d

"Kid has something important to say," said Jayson. "I'm trying to focus on my cooking!" She opened her arms to emphasize the draining sink. "The meat I boiled, it has this disgusting smell," exclaimed Lealyn. "Try cooking later, I will assist you next time." "Lealyn, we have to leave," suggested Kid. Lealyn jumped down the stool. "Why?" "Someone will come and hurt you! In the near future, there will be people here and they want you gone." Kid waved his hand once, opening a passage to another place. "Go inside now. We will be safe if we are far from them." "No, I will not run away this time," she said. Jayson tried to convince her. "Lealyn, you should listen..." "No," she cutted. "I know what happens when I ran from my problems. I will lose someone or something important to me." "I see, you love this place." He closed the path. "Whatever you say, Lea

Morning came as bright as the days without her problems. The lack of green scenery saddens Lealyn but she cannot do anything about it. The urban streets do not match up with the light blue sky and it made the world duller. She sighed on the window and glanced back at Kid. "I do not want to be here, can we go somewhere comfortable?" "I know what you are thinking. That's why while you are asleep, I manage to find a place that suits your taste." He pointed at the door which he made a passage to a riverside house. They proceeded to go there and investigate the area. The wooden house is surrounded by tall trees and some houses can be seen from a distance. The river reflected the color of the trees. The sound of the leaves brushing and water flowing gives off a relaxing vibe for the group. It is better than what Lealyn expected. But it does not change the fact that Kid is also the reason why her parents are gone. Jayson touched the river to check if his hand will get

Time has passed but he still cannot find a place where they can stay. His arms are sore. Kid is cold probably because of the night dew. Later on, Kid became colder and his breathing is undetected. 'He is dead,' he thought. However, he cannot convince himself that he is truly gone because his aura is the same. If he is dead, then his aura should slowly decrease into nothingness. That is what Jayson knew, considering he already seen deaths more than once because of his world's never-ending conflict. "Jayson? You can put me down now," Kid calmly said. Jayson sighed out of relief and followed Kid's request. That is the first time Kid called him by his name. He then thought that he probably forgot how he usually calls him. When he stopped walking to put down Kid, the Guardian of Dreams and Lealyn paused too. "Lealyn? Where are you?" Kid asked but it was silent. "Are you okay?" "Yeah," she finally responded with a gloomy tone. Kid easil
