《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 68 - Beginning- Part 1

"I'M FALLING APART, I'M BARELY BREAATHING WITH A BROKEN HEART..." Aiden sang loudly as we sat in Lizzy's car on the way to school.
"Aiden stop!" I said as I covered both my ears with my hands as he sang now, not that he was bad at it but he was repeating the same five lines over and over again.
"Argh! I'm going to kick you out of the car if you sing anymore!" Lizzy yelled irritated as she drove the car, "Or stitch your lips."
Aiden was singing the song from Life house as if someone had ripped his heart out and smashed it with a giant hammer. He had asked her if he could drive but she didn't trust him after she had let him drive it once. I had to say he was a terrible driver after seeing the headlights of the car broken, according to him it was the vehicles mistake. Andria had told a big no of buying him a car after hearing it. If Lizzy was a cartoon I would have seen a big vein popping from her forehead which was actually funny.
"IN THE PAIN-" Aiden continued to sing unfazed.
"I'll ask Ruka to talk to Andria to get you the car," I quickly said unable to take it anymore, to which Aiden grinned triumphantly.
"That's more I like it," he said with a cheeky smile and kept quiet.
"Oh my god, peace finally," Lizzy and I both sighed.
Reaching school I went to class, taking out my notes which had assignments that had to be submitted. The boys that were burnt by one of the new staff were still being treated even though they were werewolves. I didn't have Max in the same class this year.
I sat at my desk scribbling circles over circles at the back page of my notebook in the class now. It was a free period, two classes in a row as the teacher had let us off which was very rare. I glanced to my side to see Jessi was busy with her phone, texting William I believe. Taking permission from the teacher, I went out of the class walking through the corridors which were empty. After ten minutes of wandering, I decided to go back to class, walking down the stairs. I felt someone behind and turned to find no one there. Going back to the class, I sat back in my seat, resting my forehead on the desk. I looked at my watch noticing there was an hour to pass yet. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath, feeling my eyelids go heavy and I fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, my brows drew closer in confusion looking at the starless sky in front of me. How could it be a night when only a few minutes back it was noon? I was still sleepy and didn't bother about it until I picked up an owl hoot. Something didn't feel right and I sat up for my eyes to go wide taking in my surrounding. I was surrounded by trees, lots and lots of them, which meant I was in a forest.
Did I travel through time? I found it cool and unsettling at the same time. I had no clue to where I was now. By the looks of it, I was the only person in the forest, I heard the owl hoot again as though reminding me of its presence. Looking up I found it sitting on one of the branches, its big eyes unblinking. There was a lantern next to me and I wondered what was it doing here? Of course, it was a dream, anything was possible. Picking it up I walked on the slightly wet ground. There should be a way out, I thought to myself. I was sure I was dreaming right now but it felt way too real to call it a dream.
It was creepy as I walked, it wasn't silent as I walked hearing the crickets making a sound. After walking for a few distances I found a lake, it reminded me of what my best friends had told me long back about an enchanted lake when they were trying to bait me to come to the party a year ago. This one looked anything but enchanted. The water looked like it was way too stagnant giving it a greenish look. When I took another step I heard a faint howl that echoed through the forest giving me goosebumps.

The atmosphere was turning foggy slowly, leaving the lake behind I took quick steps wanting to get out of here. There was another howl this time clearer than the one I heard before as though the animal was close by. Due to the howl my hand had lost the grip on the lantern letting it fall down. Suddenly everything turned pitch black for few seconds. What the-? Before I could complete the sentence I got my sight back but I wasn't in the forest anymore.
I was inside the school walking, the school looked torn down as though an earthquake had occurred. It felt like déjà vu when I walked through the deserted corridors. I gulped looking at the floor that had blood trails and realized why it felt like a déjà vu-I had a dream of it. There was a body as I suspected, I went closer to see the face as it wasn't facing towards my way. The blood moved in a thin trail of a circle around the dead body and felt someone's hand on me-
"Eve!" I found Jessi in front of me, "Were you hibernating?" she questioned me amused.
"What?" I asked her confused, I made a quick check looking around me to see I was in the classroom.
"You weren't waking up when I called you and Ms. Klare told we could leave if we want to. Sorry if I woke you up in ten minutes," she apologized putting her books in the bag, "Didn't get enough sleep last night?"
"I did but-Jessi, not like that!" I realized looking at her at what she actually meant if Ruka and I had pulled an all-nighter. Then something clicked in my head, "I slept only for ten minutes?" I asked her and saw her nod.
It felt like an hour had passed, actually more than it.
"Anything wrong?" she asked concern in her eyes.
"I had a really weird dream before you woke me up. It felt too real like I can still feel that spookiness," I said thinking deeply about it.
"Still watching horror movies?" she asked me and I shook my head, "Maybe it was a coincidence," she suggested as we went out of the class.
"Yeah, I guess so. I'll talk to Ruka about it, he'll know if something is wrong," I said heading towards the next class. I learned the history of witches which was quite fascinating actually. Though we couldn't perform magic the teacher did talk about potions and antidote.
After finishing the last hour, Jessi and I went to the cafeteria as we were done for the day. I was having ice cream as we sat there chatting. I told her about what I had heard from Grenda when I was sick.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.
