《Wake Up 3 ~ Alone (Original Stories by AllTimePhan73)》Chapter 5- Warning
Advertisement
"Agh! Why does my head hurt so much?" Ethan slowly sat up in his bed, brushing his hand through his hair. He still felt dizzy.
"Ethan!" Blank popped up, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but what happened?"
"I have no idea. Chica came back home and led me to you. I guess you blacked out."
All at once, the memories of what happened flooded back. "I know what happened," Ethan stated. "Dark. I think he changed my pills."
"Was he trying to kill us?"
"No. I think it was a warning. He is coming back for us. When Anti saved me a few years ago, he said as long as he was around, Dark couldn't kill me. Now Anti is gone. Nothing is stopping him from coming."
"How is he here though? Dark should be across the World!"
"I don't know. That is something we have to figure out. I am going to call Mark." Ethan tried to stand up, but collapsed to the floor.
"Ethan, I think you need to rest. The drugs are probably still in your system."
"No, I need to talk to Mark," Ethan was determined. He grabbed onto the wall and lifted himself up. Slowly, he walked over to his phone and called Mark.
"I am going to get you some water," Blank said, leaving the room.
The phone rang for 5 minutes before the call ended itself. Ethan tried again. This time, Mark picked up.
Ethan started, "Mark. I need to tell you-"
"Don't speak." a voice wispered in his ear as he got a whoosh of light headedness.
"Ethan, are you okay?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, but Dark. He-"
"SHUT UP!" the voice yelled at Ethan, making him fall.

"Ethan! What is happening," Mark was concerned.
"If you tell him, I will kill him." Ethan heard.
"I uhh- I just wanted to say, that I think you should come back home. I don't think it is good for you to be staying where it happened," Ethan lied.
"Oh- okay. I think you might be right. I just feel so alone here. I don't want to hurt you though."
"I need you though," Ethan said. That part was true. He needed Mark to comfort him. Blank could only do so much, being a demon and all.
"Okay. My plane was supposed to leave tomorrow to return. I thought about not leaving, but I can come home. Are you sure you want him to be back home?" Mark questioned.
"Yes. Please just come home."
"Okay. What if I call Sean and have him stay with us? That way the three of us can deal with him."
"That is a great plan. I will call him though. You just worry about yourself," Ethan responded.

8 137Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
