[ you guys are the ASCENDERS ! ]
..
..
Misaki heard that, took a deep breath with a big smile appearing on her face and then spoke, " I'm doomed. "
She could hear all the terrifying whispering in the room, the atmosphere was tense and no one dared to ask what the hell an "Ascender" is,
Since nobody here is showing the desire to ask what this thing just said, then I guess I will take the initiative to do that, Misaki thought ,
"Uhh excuse me! You just said we are Ascen..ders? Or something like that and it's our first time hearing that word, may I ask for a more proper clarification? "
[ oh! Our apologies for forgetting that. In a simple way, all of your bodies have a special power and a unique ability that differs from each,
This power stays hidden in your body from the moment you take your first breath into this world until this power becomes mature enough to give you the ability to see things normal humans cannot witness ]
Ok..this is getting creepier.., a cold sweat dropped from Misaki's forehead falling into her cheek,
Hidden powers? Hidden ability? What kind of social experiment is that?!
No..hold on if it was a social experiment they wouldn't go this far to the point of kidnapping people..,
Misaki frowned and the corner of her lips twitched. Moreover, the people who were panicking in the hall made the atmosphere a lot more awkward.
She took a deep breath before opening her mouth again,
" I still have another question!! If such a thing existed why do we have no idea about it? That makes no sense. "
Moreover, if the -Ascenders- nonsense is real. It's impossible that it has only appeared recently, It must have been here for a quite long time.
[ you are quite the curious one, aren't you? For short, the ascenders are hidden very strictly from the rest of the world thus nobody knows about their existence. ]
..
..that's the laziest answer I have ever heard.
"Well than can i- "
[No more questions allowed. ]
..
"BUT- "
[ reapeting no more questions allowed. ]
..
This screen is getting really funny cause, I didn't even get to ask if I can see my family again! Ugh this sucks!
[ Now our dear Ascenders may head out to their dorms, you will be given a map and your dorm number. Please make sure to not lose it. ]
Misaki was shocked to the core by hearing that.
"Wait! We are staying he-"
[ No more questions allowed. ]
..I DIDN'T EVEN ASK !
Misaki walked into the hall, she saw a strange man wearing all black even a black mask standing, he was giving the ascenders their supplies and dorm number ,
Looks like there is no escape..huh well that man seems suspicious, but as long as he or any other one of his -colleagues- doesn't kill me in my sleep I'm fine.
In the next moment She was standing infront of that man
He spoke, "May I ask your name? " it was clear that he was using a voice changer.
"Misaki. "She replied
"Misaki what?"
"..Huh?"
The man sighted, "Iam asking you what your surname is. "
Misaki looked the other way in disbelief, "don't have one. "
Misaki expected to see a shocked reaction arising from his body ,but she was surprised to see that the man was calm,
He asked, "do you not have one or you just don't remember it? "
Misaki thought for a while and replied, "I quess it is the first option ,since I don't suffer from amnesia. "
"I will consider that. "He then took out a wooden box from the ground with a number and a minimized map above it, "here you go, have a nice stay. "
...
I really hope I have a "Nice" stay too
Misaki extended her arms to take the box from him, her arms lowered after grabbing it ,because the box was quite heavy.
What did they put in it?!
Misaki was struggling to hold this vox throught the many hallways and the building was enormous, the walls were fancy decorated and the lights were bright enought to not make anyone notice the slightest hint of darkness,
After sometime Misaki was finally able to reach her dorm
God why am I at the ending of the building?!
She then took the key that was glued at the end of the box. Before she could even put the key to the door handle she noticed that the door had no handle...
It was open.
All the doors had seen had a handle.
This one didn't have a handle.
..
..
Looks like I will be really having a nice stay ,but unfortunately I don't think this stay will be here on earth..
Well what did I expect anyways?!
In the next seconds she pushed the door wide open only to be flashed by the most horrendous view she had seen in all her life,
The walls were torn and you could see coakroaches walking through them,
The floors were dusty enought to make anyone feel sick,
The bed was just a dirty sheet on a dirtier small mattress,
..
EVEN A DOG WOULD LIVE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THAT!!
,but again..when did I expect basic human treatment in the first place..?God I miss Ilya and mom..
Misaki sighted and dragged in her wooden along with the tears in her eyes that were hold back,
She sat on the dirty mattress and started going throught the box. She found a toothpaste and toothbrush, an extra piece of clothes..and a small knife.
She held the knife observing it.
Is that to protect myself if someone tried to assassinate me at Night? Too bad I can't kill anyone..
She sighted, "Well..what should I do now..?"a sudden thought came into Misaki making her stand up quickly, "that's it! I will go and explore this building and see if I can find an escape! " In the next seconds she was already out her dorm leaving the door wide open and taking her knife with here,
Well it wasn't like this door was meant to be closed anyways and it would be too risky to leave the knife.
She wandered throught the empty hallways that were different from the ones she walked throught,
"All that fancy decorations only to give me a haunted room? Ugh..well I don't see any exit doors here? Do they accept their fate and die if a sudden fire occurs or what ? Wei-"
Someone tapped on Misaki's shoulders,
Misaki jumped and turned around quickly,
"WH- WHO'S THERE ?"
However, she found herself greeted by a young girl who looked the same as Misaki's age,
She had vitiligo and beautiful bright yellow eyes along with dark curly hair
She's...really pretty, that was the first thought that came into Misaki's mind
She spoke, "O oh! Sorry if I startled you! But you seemed to be wandering here alone like me so I wanted to say hi! "She smiled
Misaki rubbed the back of her head and spoke, "No problem I was just surprised to see someone here.." and here it goes again..the awkward silence, but this time it was broke by the girl,
"Hehe well what's your name? Iam Mira! "
She is talking to me..?
"Oh iam Misaki. Nice name by the way "
Mira clenched her hands together, "aww thank you. " the pleasant look on Mira's face was visible to everyone ,
Mira hold Misaki, "for that compliment you are now my friend ! "
"Wo woah this fast ?"
This girl..is quite sociable.
Mira had a confused expression on her face, "Yeah? Is there something wrong? "
Misaki quickly waved her hands, "no no it's just.." what do is say? That iam a sociably awkward person and it's my first time making friends? Hell no!
Mira sighted, "Well it doesn't matter, you are my age, you look nice then you are my friend!"
"S..sure. "
Misaki was hiding that overwhelming happiness that filled her,
I finally made a friend! Looks like this place is not this useless after all!
"Oh! Right Misaki can I call you Misa?"
"W what?"
Mira smiled again and spoke, "Well Misa looks similar to my name and I find this nickname pretty cute! "
Misaki stayed for a second before replying again, "Yeah sure. " a smile was drawn on Misaki's face
I finally have a friend.
