《Bound in the Dark》Rearing Itself - Chapter 8

Advertisement

Shadows POV:

So after I lost control Illume saved me and well he saved the whole town. I think he should be awarded with medals and stuff, he should also be labeled the town hero but things won't be as nice as that.

After I buried Blight, I promised myself that I won't get attached any more, that was a reminder of who I am, what I'm supposed to be. Uncaring... showing no emotion, no remorse, unless I want to be hurt again. No it's not just that, it's this, whatever it is. I just know that it's not done with me yet and I know that if I lose myself again like that something bad would happen. It would take control again. I can't let that happen. I can't let it get a hold of me again. I can't... care.

Blight was the last thing I'd care about. I'm sorry Illume but after this your friend is no more...

After Shadow makes this decision, things around town start to get a little weird and complicated.

The next day the town was completely repaired and he was the only one that remembered what happened.

He remembers everything from the town being destroyed to the punch he got and he also remembers that he and Illume were so exhausted that they just decided to head home and sleep, he knew it was stupid to rest after what happened but they really were worn out. No one saw them cause they are quite a sneaky duo but it was a bit too strange that not a single person asked about what happened around their town.

Shadows POV:

The next day I woke up, took a walk around town and saw something peculiar. The whole town was completely repaired with everyone walking about acting like nothing happened, which was the first thing I noticed was off.

Today's Sunday by the way so no school, which is great because I don't think Illume could go to school with his arm like that and the questions asked would be a bit uhhh... tough. I know he'd act like nothing happened though so maybe it wouldn't be that bad but even if it were a normal school day he wouldn't be able to write anyway so I'll try and convince him later to take a break from school.

The day is perfect though and when I say that I mean the timing not how the weather is or how it looks, I couldn't give a crap. No school today means I can find out what the heck is happening in our town.

Illume walks in:" What's up bro what you up to? Get any new anime or anything."

I greet back:" Hey dude and nope I ain't up to nothing, no new anime either. You know you're the one I get all my anime from. So how's the arm?"

He responds confused:" My arm, which arm? My arms are fantastic my guy. I am fantastic. Anyway why even mention my arms, dude? That's a stupid thing to ask."

That's the second weird thing I've seen today, the people that were in yesterday's occurrence weren't hurt at all. In fact as we walked home yesterday I didn't see anybody. Maybe they ran off to somewhere safe? Okay that might explain why no one was hurt, I'm just assuming though. Then the only people that were actually involved were Illume and I but that doesn't explain why he isn't hurt and why no one's reporting this on the news. What the hell is going on?

Oh wait. Maybe Illume's just playing a trick on me. I'll ask him again.

"So bro are you sure you're not hurting or anything? You're completely fine?"

Illume:" Yeah dude, I told you I'm fine, why are you asking?"

"Hey just looking out for ya"

He just responds with a "thanks bro" and rushes off after he says he's got something going on, he wanted to invite me but I told him I'm busy. Well that's not a lie.

I got things to do... not only that... for this I'm sorry Illume, you won't be seeing me as often after today. I have to try and avoid you now...

It's what I must do.
