Lives Between Them

Chapter 1

His brain been having this systematic failure lately. As he begin to prepare it over, he have seen the many mistakes and distractions that happened. Digging through the garbage disposal of cons lies the real truth. He came across the golden room he always stayed away from. It's the center of his cerebral cortex that connects everything; from skill to intellect, observations, memories, emotions, persistence and perseverance. As he look through the stained window,  it's a room that's cylinder with cushions sealed around and a malnourished animal who sits right where the shadow covers its body. However, its eyes glistens when the light from the window touches its face. The same as when light touches cats eyes in the dark. He opens the door because his curiosity outweighs his doubts.  When he take steps closer, it shivers and let out a whimper. As he get closer, it laughs in the next second and tries to give him a kiss but is retracted from the chains. When it comes to the light, he notices that it's him. He see blood coming from his eyes, mouth, and ears. Blood running down on his white pants and no shirt. It's cold in here but he seem to be sweating and have lacerations on his chest and arms. The room begins to shake ferociously and he become unbalanced and fall. Clink!  A key falls out of his pocket. "Why do I have a key?  When did I put it there? How did I get here? Who is this guy? Could this be the real me?" he thought.
For some reason, he felt empathy and threw the key at it because he was reluctant to go by it. The other guy picked it up with his mouth, swallowed it and said "You're not ready!" with tears in its eyes. He was really confused. It seemed upset but relieved at the same time. It was a face he never seen on his own face before. "Who is this guy? Why did he swallow the key?" He stood there shocked. Not knowing what to do or say. His knees started to shake and words begin to flow out. "Who are you?" It looked down slowly and as it did, he could see its hair. It was something he never seen before. In the light its hair was golden with brown highlights in a Mohawk. The texture of the hair was curly and but with 2 braids starting from the front and ending with braided ponytails on each side with the Mohawk center. However, in the dark, its hair seemed to turn jet black. A smile appeared and it said "Zeta" in a voice that was like the air and a whisper.
Astound again by this "guy" he began to leave, but as soon as he closed the door he heard the chains drop. When he turned around to look at the window, he seen it staring at him. It felt like forever. It was a very long pause and he got the chills. Its eyes were hazel and blood shot red from crying blood. Its nostrils flared and made condensed fog on the window. It wrote "¡ImYou!"
That's when the door knob rattled.
