The Red Strings That Changed Everything

Prolonged

It was in sophomore grade when I met him. I bump into him in the front office. I was an exchanged student from a small Spanish town so I didn’t know how to speak English. I remember when I looked at him, he looked so sad and distraught for some reason, when I spoke to him, he stared at me weirdly as if I was from another world. 

After that day, I started to see him more. His hair was in a ponytail all the time, he wore a hoodie most of the time, he held onto an instrument case which I believe was a viola, I don’t remember but I remember he played it like...like god...like Apollo playing with his lyre. I remember hearing that instrument play through the fine arts hall, when it played in talent shows was the best. We became friends afterwards, and then he moved away. I could’ve sworn I fell in love, but that died down after I met Jeffrey.

But today. Today was a different day. after 10 years, I finally met him. I was running late for work and I accidentally bumped into someone, I tried to say that I was super sorry and I tried to pick up the papers that fell from their hands. But I swear, he locked eyes with me. We exchanged a few words and nothing more. I asked him his name, “Giren,” he said “Giren Zyax-Gray.” And that name struck with me all the way to work. My producer, Jeffrey was confused on why I was daydreaming on the job, but I only lied to him.

I got home to my non blood brother, Mikhail and was talking about my day, but I kept talking about him. I was thrilled to see an old friend grow up and how I was able to meet him after a decade. 

And.. I had a dream… There was a string, a red string... and three children...all really young, one was 13, the other 12 and then the smallest one, that look no older than 10. They call us....mama and papa. The two of us were next to each other and that string connected us.. And that dream.. That string… It was the red string that changed everything..

"Moinique!" Jeffrey voice boom as he slam his hand down on our main character's desk, causing her to flinch and snap out of her day dream. "S...Sir..-!?" She stuttered as she look at him with wide eyes. "Day dreaming again? What on your pretty little fucking mind huh!?" He yell in Moinique's face before huffing out a breath of air. "Come on, tell me...who clouding your mind eh?" Jeffrey demanded before crossing his arms and staring down at her.

Moinique's face turn into a dark shade of pink as the man face came into her mind. "No body, sir. I just overthinking something, it won't happen again" She apologize before looking down at the ground. She heard Jeffrey sigh in annoyance before walking away.

Moinique sigh before thinking back to that unexpected dream she had. 'Red strings? 3 children? Why was he there? Why were they calling us mama and papa? Ugh! So confusing...- maybe I should talk to my brother about this.' She thought to herself before standing up and walking towards her own room, back on the job.

(Location change........)
(Current location: Mikhail's house)

Our dear Mafia boss, sits on his plush chair, looking over the documents his workers had achieved. He hum softly before sighing. He had deem them useless and quickly toss them aside. "Ahhhh....такая пустая трата времени..." He muttered in Russian before closing his eyes. The silent around him was deafening...until a flash of a bright red string appear in his mind, causing his eyes to shot open. "The fuck was that...? Was that a warning or some sort? Weird..." He turn around to look outside and that when rain started to pour down. Something was definitely wrong...

(Time setting change...)
(12:30 am)

"Mikhail! I need to tell you something!" Moinique yell as she slam open the door and carelessly threw her stuff. "Mikhail!!! Little brother!!" She stomp up the stairs and slam open his bedroom door to find him...smoking. "Seriously...-" She whisper as Mikhail look up from his phone and blew out the smoke from his mouth. "Yes?" He spoke before tilting his head. "Oh right! I had this crazy dream about me and that guy I was talking about!"

"oh?"

"Yes! However it was a bit weird...it was me, him and 3 children-"

"Children? Since-"

"Don't cut me off" She pouted.

"Understandable...continue"

"They were 13, 12 and 10, and they were calling me and Giren mama and papa. Weird right? However it's get weirder! Down on our pinkies were a bright red string that connected our pinkies together!" She yelled excitedly, however that not what made Mikhail stop smoking, what made him stop was the words "Bright red string."

"Wait...did you just say...a red string?"

"Ummm....yeah? Why?"

"I just saw a flash of a bright red string literally like 2 hours ago"

"Your joking."

"No." Mikhail laugh before shaking his head. "Crazy..." He muttered before lightning strike outside, causing the power to go off. "God damn it!!"
