Romua: (it's been 3 days since that horrible incident, my parents have been very strict about going out, they've forbidden on-site classes for a while until the situation improves) -romua was preparing a backpack- (in these 3 days people have been disappearing and corpses have been found in horrible conditions, but what matters most to me is, if Iktal will be ok, since the bus thing happened he hasn't given any signal and his phone is off, but in the news when they checked documents he wasn't in the records)
¿¿¿: we are going to work now, daughter! Remember to lock the doors and don't go out unless it's an emergency - a door is heard closing and then the sound of a car driving away after a few seconds-.
Romua: sorry dad, sorry mom, but I needed to know if he's ok -she carefully left the room hiding the backpack and avoiding some cameras that were spread around the house- (I must be back before 6:00 Pm)
Romua left her house without anyone seeing her, she was dressed with clothes that covered almost all her body, a cap and a scarf to cover part of her face.
12:30 Pm romua heads to the nearest subway station, she has an hour's ride to get to where iktal lives.
Romua: (shit it's hot down here, but if someone I know recognizes me I'm finished I should draw as little attention to myself as possible) -walks to the last cars and sits next to one of the windows looking out of it-.
13:10 Pm the subway is almost empty on the way to Iktal's direction, Romua was almost asleep until some screams are heard in the front car.
Romua: w-what was that?! -she raised her head in excitement, looking around and a bit agitated, she managed to see some people approaching through the wagons walking towards her. Was that scream real or am I hallucinating because of everything that is happening?)
Romua, don't panic," a voice whispered in her ear, "I need you to trust me if you want to get out of here alive.
Romua was paralyzed before those words and very scared.
Romua: what are you talking about? -she whispered back
No time to explain, keep your head down and listen carefully, the next 20 seconds are crucial for our survival.
Romua: Our survival? Who are you? No time! Now run out the back door and hide on the sides.
The subway exits the subway and then enters a dark tunnel dilating the vision of the eyes making it a little difficult to see.
Romua: I-I can't see! - she covered her eyes slightly-
Romua could still see the carriage as if it was drawn with crayons and next to the back door a strange female figure.
¿¿¿: hurry this way. Romua runs to the exit and then huddles on the side where there is still surface, since jumping out of the subway was not an option at that speed.
¿¿¿: calm down, here, they won't be able to find you, stay calm, stay still and don't talk.
Romua: s-yes -she stays completely still without saying anything- (I'm going crazy, what is this voice I hear in my head).
The strangers arrived at the last carriage and start looking everywhere.
D1: Shit! He couldn't have gone far, it's the last fucking car. - I was banging on the seats.
D2: Calm down, you said it yourself, she couldn't have gone far, the bitch hid somewhere. Look for her in the luggage compartments and under the seats.
All: Yes sir. They started looking all over the carriages as if they had all the time in the world.
Romua: (are they looking for me? why? these guys, something's wrong)
D3: Don't worry, did they forget? This train belongs to us now, besides why look for it, let's make it go out on its own after all God has given us his blessing, and with our LoverBoys ability nothing can stop us.
D2: And what do we do with the remaining passengers? D3: we only need that girl, she knows where the boy is, don't leave any witnesses.
Romua: (WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?)
One of the strangers approaches the back door.
Romua: (Shit he's coming! HERE HE COMES! I HAVE TO JUMP IF I DON'T JUMP I'LL DIE!)
-Romua's eyes were shaking, they were watering, her breathing was agitated, her heart was beating a mile a minute, she was ready to risk it, all because she didn't want to be found- (mom, dad thanks for everything, sorry I was a fool, I should have stayed home!)
¿¿¿: you're wrong Romua, if you hadn't left home, none of this would have happened, we are in this together, I'm your skill, Romua trust me. - next to romua appears the female figure that she saw before, it looked like a chalk drawing made by children with different colors.
Romua: m-my ability?
Suddenly the door opened and the stranger entered, but it was as if he could not see Romua.
¿¿¿: This is our ability, whatever we see and understand, its volume, depth, functioning and how it is arranged in the plane, I can draw it and create an exact replica, which is still in the same earthly plane, but only those who are inside or find the differences of the original and the fake can enter and leave this drawn space, in these created spaces we have the advantage of being able to use everything that is within the reach of your understanding.
Romua: (This, my ability? Me, when, at what time?)
The stranger was leaving to continue searching through the wagons.
Romua, your next decision is important, we can escape using my power or we can try to fight, only you can choose.
Romua: (This is too much to process, but I have no way out, escaping stealthily is still risky, besides these guys.... They don't intend to stop this train) -he stood up taking a deep breath- (those guys are looking for Iktal and I can't allow people like that to live in the same city as my parents.... No matter who gave me these powers, I will use this ability to fight for the ones I love).
Iktal is a 25 year old teenager who has lived sharing half of his body, since the souls that are destined to wander eternally in limbo can enter the bodies of people when they are on the verge of death, these spirits are known as Bríos in this world and everything will change when the world of the living and the dead becomes unbalanced.
