Leaving This World Isn't As Scary As It Sounds の小説・ストーリー

It is the first time anyone has ever said something like that to me. I walk over and sit down next to him, leaving a small space between us. “Smoking will kill you, you know,” I blurt out before I can even stop myself. “I know,” I ask, unable to stop the words from tumbling out. “Are you not scared of dying?” “ I don't see any reason to be afraid of death. Death is the ultimate peace,” I frown, trying to wrap my head around his words. Why won't anyone fear leaving the world behind?

“Finding out that I’m not just... me. That all those stories, all those myths and legends I used to hear as a kid... are my reality now. It’s like the world just shifted overnight, and suddenly I’m in the middle of it.” I pause, feeling my chest tighten a little. This is not something I talk about with anyone. Hell, I barely let myself think about it. But here, in this room, with Trix sitting next to me, it feels almost... safe to say it out loud. “It scares the sh*t out of me.” I admit.

Claiming. “What about you?” he asked. His lips brushed my jaw. “What scares you?” I closed my eyes. Leaned into him. “I’m scared I’ll wake up one day and realize I traded one cage for another. I’m scared the baby will come and I won’t know how to be a mother. I’m scared the world will find us again. I’m scared I’ll lose this. Lose you. Lose us.” Cain pulled back. His eyes locked on mine. “You won’t. I won’t let you. We won’t let the world find us. We’ll build something new. Something ours. Something they can’t touch.”

“Once you enter their world, there is no turning back.” My pulse jumped. “Their world? What does that mean?” I asked, voice smaller than I wanted. Her fingers moved across the worn table, tracing invisible lines. Then she looked at me, and her eyes were suddenly far too clear. “They will mark you,” she said. “Once you enter their world, you will not leave it. You are not running away, child. You are walking toward something far more dangerous.” I swallowed. Mara gave a nervous laugh. “Okay, that’s enough spooky fortune telling for one day.”

To the surrounding officers, I looked like a meticulously prepared strategist. ​In reality, the pages were empty. Every single detail was coming straight from my head, drawn directly from the brutal timelines of my foresight and previous life experience. ​Lucien walked on my left, his broad frame radiating an oppressive, unyielding authority, while Daniel stayed on my right, his eyes sharp as he scanned the technicians passing us by. ​"Listen to me carefully," I said, my voice steady and clear enough for both of them to hear over the hum of the emergency generators. "People think the end of the world starts with a sudden monster movie massacre. It doesn't. The panic has to build first."

I had been standing at the balcony all this while, with a worried expression all over my face. "Clara, you shouldn't stay there, it isn't safe." Leo said out loud, but with a calm voice. He was right, it wasn't safe to be out. His dad men might be around with snippers and with one well aimed shot, I would be transcend to the world of the dead, leaving earth forever. The thought frightened me and I immediately rushed back into the room, making sure to shut the door properly and close the curtain. I noticed Leo smirk at me mockingly and gave him a scary frown.

‘Thank you, Leia. ‘Now come on, stop making them more worried than they already are.’, Leia said, helping me to stand up on my feet. We both looked toward the place from where the light was still coming inside this dark part. We started walking toward it together. To be honest, I was scared a bit. It was because I had no idea what else was waiting for me on the other side of the world. I doubt that it was the only bad thing which was happened in my life. I had done a lot of wrong deeds, and I was scared of what would be the result of all those things.

said Lucas. Travis was shocked. ‘I won't be scared soon? 'Could it be…' He thought of a terrifying possibility that Lucas would let him off the hook. Only by letting him go would he not be afraid. With this thought in mind, Travis raised his head to look at Lucas. Unfortunately, Travis was bound to be disappointed. He looked at Lucas as the latter said, "In this world, there’s only one type of person who doesn’t feel fear. That type of person is someone that’s dead."

I pressed the palms of my hands with my thumbnails until they penetrated the flesh, but I didn’t feel any pain. “Want to kill me? You are too brave, or I can call it naive. How can people die in your dreams? Stay here and play with me. You yourself know that the real world can be very scary and destroy weak humans. You yourself are weak in your mind, so that you can be considered crazy. Ha ha ha.” The voice laughed louder as if this world was his own. I raised my gaze and circled the place, scanning the forest as deep red as dead blood.

This place was designed with so many choices we were just afraid to choose, i thought sitting in the park showed me the wonders of life but looking at it through everyones eyes i knew it wasn't the best place for some people so they needed to leave. It wasn't the worst either but not everyone had the heart to stay, i always heard of the worlds beyond, Heaven and Hell. Fuck it was scary, just think about burning for eternity but a lot of us have prepared ourselves for that, it funny when we say 'How hard can it be' You and me both brother, I muse silently to myself.
