《That Isn't My Imaginary Friend(Cancelled)》8: Zane Fog, The Other Version
Advertisement
Loud engines screeched behind closed windows, sounding muted but alerted everyone in the school property.
Students and teachers headed outside their dorms in a confused state while they watched military trucks park up to the school gates, being followed by three groups of tens of soldiers who had future tech guns pointed to the ground, ready to shoot anytime.
Baffled crowds breathe balls of fluff, shuddering from the attacking winter which felt like dogs biting onto their skins as the wind pushes through the inviting sky like a brutal force firing all they have.
"No questions, stand in a formal line and wait until your names get called out!" An old voice pointed out, sending waves of loud vibrations past easily irritated ears from a small wired up megaphone.
The male principal who was bent over in his old age approached the announcer, sneakily covering their mouth as they both received words from each other, then the principal handed the announcer a clipboard lapped by tons of sheet papers on the student's identities.
Thereon names were called in to shut off sections where four military trucks cover up any holes that would give away what was happening behind closed doors, Zane pandered at tbe refilling snowy ground, eavesdropping on the conversations the soldiers were having behind the cosy trucks.
Continuous voices from behind the trucks came to a sudden halt, leading onto seconds before the sound of a bang sung throughout the outside, sending fear down the peaceful students who were about to make a run for it but the guarding soldiers snapped their guns toward them in an instant.
"Everyone calm down!" One of the soldiers demanded.
"What was that bang all about?!" A student's voice cried out in the scared flock.
A nausea smell came across Zane's nose where it was sucked in from the inhaling, giving him the smell of a metallic taste, a smell that turned Zane's whole face dead white, he knew what exactly this smell was but couldn't tell why he knew this smell.

"B-Blood?" Zane choked out in an unconscious, feared voice.
Soldiers facing Zane wore a guilty look on their faces as they rushed over to a passing Zane, as soon as they reached Zane, he was already seeing stars swing in front of his opened up eyes, he felt light all over his nerves, letting the last moments be soldiers face checking on him.
All Zane could hear in this pitch-black darkness was eerie hums reverbing each other, Zane felt his feet become all numb the moment he realises he was splashing in artic water.
Questions roamed inside Zane's mind, questioning what was happening? Questioning where he was? Until two massive blinking eyes revealed themselves in a luminous way, red liquid poured from outside the two frightening red, dreadful eye sockets.
The enormous eyes followed Zane's every movement, who stumbled to the ground in fright from what he was seeing, his body drowned painfully while Zane stared back at the eyes, feeling his heart rip itself in lighting speed beats, feeling his arms leave him under the utmost apprehension Zane felt from these eyes.
"W-who are you?!" Zane choked out, hearing his nervous voice scream it back to him.
His question went unheard and wasn't answered the longer the seconds became seconds to minutes to what felt like hours, Zane poked around to find an answer on where he was but all it was, was endless space gloom looping for unlimited eternity.
Grabbing his courage, he stood up in a straight stance still feeling the misery, eyes watching his every movement, his school clothes were drenched with black shaded water, this didn't stop him from wandering miles through the endless deep ends.
"What is happening with me lately? Everything around me feels fake from how Angela and Ryan spoke with me after leaving me in the dark for months...did I accidentally get transferred to another planet?" Zane questioned himself, feeling pressured and uneasy to not find out the answers, so he continued his walks where he never got tired.

Far ahead appeared a glowing circle of light in a way it felt like Zane was being welcomed and being forced to lure into this exposing position.
Zane explored the lines of this glowing light he encountered, closing in on a cracked spot into the empty wall, Zane confused glanced at the eyes who followed him all the way here, the eyes stared back at Zane, occasionally directing at the cracked light.
"You want me to do something with this?" Zane asked the luminous eyes, receiving no answers but something in Zane's stomach told him it was a yes.
So Zane did what his stomach told him to, he pressed his skinny fingers up onto the crack light where his fingers slipped through reality and were faced with a hard wind.
Taken back on what happened, Zane felt a force from in the abyss push him through this cracked wall, not collecting his balance in time, and fell roughly onto the deserted, wrinkled ground.
Zane popped his head up, facing a drained pool dying next to a crumbling tree, then he spotted a black sea turtle approach him with its red, leaking, dimmed eyes which stared right back Zane in a peaceful way, not in a threatening way.
"What the fuck is happening" Zane whispered in a baffled manner, being covered in brutal sandstorm winds, leading him to cover up his eyes slightly.
"Long time no see, boy" A deep voice announced itself in a ten-foot height shadowy figure, Zane's eyes widened in shock, he remembered this figure from his past, he remembered this was the figure he was looking for all these years since its disappearance.
"Where have you been?!" Zane raged through the tough, battling force.
"I've been here from the very beginning, boy. It's just that a certain something was trapping me from entrancing your split side" The voice deeply apologizes with an explanation.
"Split side?" Zane asked helplessly, watching the winged shadow take a deep breath.
"When I became one with you, a part of you fought their way out of the system, it was a very dangerous amount of my power that went on to create a different version of you, but instead with a soul. It became an endless space taking over you from now and then to satisfy your revenge" The voice illustrated clearly.
"So were the eyes from that darkness the other version of me?" Zane curiously questioned.
"Yes, you were in your other-selves territory, we both agreed to allow you to see us so you wouldn't face trouble with the soldiers future on" The voice calmly answered.
A meeting with his other version, which is considered a meeting with the devil.

Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
