Chaos

Broken Mirror

In MJ's dark bedroom, Storm and MJ herself sit on the bed, listening to me, even though my body isn't physically present.

"What do you mean you're not the Wayne I know?" Storm says, wiping the tears off her cheek.

"This is what happened..." I say, showing them everything that happened through moving images inside their heads, like a movie that was shot in a low-quality camera.

It is night in a futuristic city, where the skyscrapers touch the clouds and an absence of light is definitely present. The darkness is felt by the nude humans who walk blindly through the crowded streets of the city. A scar of a circle with a vertically line through the middle of it can be seen on all of the humans left arms.

- In this world called Alpha, all the continents are physically joined together, surrounded by water, unable to escape the torture that is the Empire of Benedict Capps. Humans serve the supernatural beings. Benedict Capps rules the world and plans to eliminate the human race in the near future. We were a thing, you and I, Storm. You were my wife and I loved you like I did in your dimension, maybe even more.

Storm and Wayne, a tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes, walk the streets naked, holding hands, in the middle of the crowd, as some humans stare at them, surprised, and afraid of what could happened if the supernatural beings saw Storm and Wayne holding hands.

-We were walking peacefully, but we were foolish. We broke one of the main laws of Alpha: Love is not permitted. Love creates life. Benedict Capps wanted to get rid of humans, not add more to his cruel, cold world. And because of our ignorance, it happened, a supernatural being, a vampire wearing a white suit, that didn't go with his long nails and bad haircut, saw us holding hands and tried to kill us.

A vampire scratches Wayne's face, hard enough to make him bleed. Wayne and Storm run away from it, holding their hands as tight as they can, through the crowd of nude humans. Then, their hands separate when the vampire sticks his long nails into Wayne's back. The humans run away, afraid that the vampire would take his anger towards them. He lifts him Wayne up in the air with just one hand and says:

"You think you can escape me, Alpha? I am superior to you, to both of you."

"You're not." Storm says, lifting her arm, pointing her empty open hand at him, and creating a sword that comes out through the palm of her hand. She grabs it, as the vampire looks at her, surprised, amazed, and says:

"You're an Omega. You are one of us, human. After all these years, I have discovered something that will truly make me immortal. Join us, Omega."

"Never. Let him go or I will kill you!" Storm yells, walking towards the vampire, who holds Wayne up in the air.

"If you step closer, I will rip his fucking heart out... So... Try me." The vampire says, sticking his long nails deeper into Wayne's body. Storm smiles and throws her sword directly at his face. The sword immediately penetrates the vampire's face. He falls to the ground, along with Wayne, breaking the long nails of the vampire in half. Wayne screams, as the nails are stuck inside his body.

-After that, you carried me to our house. You took care of me and I was fine. For days, everything was alright. Then, they came, looking for you.

In a gothic style house, with blue walls covered with paintings of memorable humans of the past century, Storm and Wayne sit on the couch together, wearing bedroom clothes, watching two holograms of a man and a woman dancing in front of them. Jazz music can be heard throughout the house. They both smile, until someone knocks on the door, making their smiles disappear completely off their faces. Wayne gets up from the couch and opens the door. Outside, a faceless man, without hair and with only pointy ears stands in front of Wayne, and says through his ears that bend as he talks and sound comes out of them.
