CHAPTER 2

  AM I INSANE ?

  ...Hmm interesting, after pausing for a short while, The Being continued to look at the DNA order in front of it. It looked the same as other people's from that place, except that a hydrogen bond bonded the two atoms slightly differently. "Fascinating," he muttered, and continued to piece together the scattered DNA.

  After an unknown amount of time, Alice slowly regained consciousness. At first she couldn't understand what was happening and just looked around, started blinking her eyes rapidly, and started screaming by taking her head in her hands. The pain she felt was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She tried to endure it, but it was impossible and she lost consciousness again. After an unknown amount of time, in the dark…

  The Being was observing Alice from a distance with curious eyes and a little excitement. Alice slowly regained consciousness, this time the pain in her head became tolerable and allowed Alice to form meaningful thoughts.

  Where am I? What's going on? Where is this place? She thought hysterically. She looked around and tried to make sense of it, but there was nothing around, Alice couldn't understand how long she had been there, it was just dark and she started to panic again. Just then, a distortion occurred in front of him and a small point of light appeared. Alice froze and then she heard a voice.

  ''Finally conscious, good'

  ‘’Wait! What? Who are you? Is this a prank? Please tell me it's a prank! I haven't lost my mind, have I?’’ Alice started blabbering and asking repeatedly to the voice that she heard.

  ''Stop! Let me talk. Sorry but it's not a prank but you haven't lost your mind either. Now calm down and listen to me I will only say it once. You're in my pocket universe. I brought you here because you were different from other people and you were able to interact with the wormhole.

  " Wait wait wait, Wormhole? Wormhole as we know it!?’’

  ’You don't know anything about wormholes and I'm not a teacher, so don't interrupt me and let me continue explaining.’’ said Being irritated. ‘’That was a stray wormhole and by the time I noticed it, it had already started to devour the planet so I didn't stop it and just let it happen.’’ What! so this should have been under your control from the very beginning and this happened because of your fault? Alice lost control and started screaming with tears coming to her eyes. The Entity lost its patience and with a slight fluctuation from the light point Alice froze and could neither move nor speak. She heard the Presence's voice in her mind and felt a severe headache.

  ‘’Don't make me repeat myself, I'm talking to you because you're a little interesting. This was my last warning. If you interrupt again, I'll tear you to atoms.’’ Alice instantly lost all her anger and felt icy cold, and the Being continued speaking after slight pause.

  ''Your solar system was blinked to another point in space, people in it should still be alive unless they died for some other reason.

  Remember, only you noticed what was happening, not them...

  "Oh, sorry," said the Being carelessly, and Alice was able to speak again. She was relieved to hear that her mother and Jessie were okay, probably.. but she still didn't forget the coldness she felt when The Entity controlled her.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  After waiting for a while, she suddenly looked at the spot of light and asked ‘’What are you?’’ ‘’It's none of your business’’ said instantly and continued ‘’Even if you learn, nothing would change.’’ Being said with amusement. 'This thing has weird mood swings' Alice thought. But then she remembered that her fate was in Its hands and this made her very nervous. After swallowing and preparing herself as much as possible for the answer she would receive, she asked, "What are you going to do with me?"

  The white dot didn't say anything for a while, and this caused Alice to break out in a cold sweat. "I won't do anything to you," he said, amused. Alice relaxed for a second, but then asked hurriedly: "Can you send me back, then?" "No, I can, but that would endanger both you and the place I'm sending you to." “What do you mean?” Alice asked, trying to hide the frustration in her voice.

  "I need another wormhole to send you back, and the people where we are now have DNA similar to yours, so all beings on the planet can be affected by the wormhole the same way you are affected, so no.’’

  ‘’What do you mean by where we are?’’ Alex asked.

  "You can't see it now, but we have come to the place where I will leave you, you will stay here from now on."

  ‘’What do you mean! Aliens? Do you want me to live with aliens?’’ Alice didn't know how to feel. It was something she had always dreamed of, fantasy and science fiction being her favorite comic book genre. At the same time, her mother came to her mind and asked.

  "Will I ever be able to return home again?" "It's possible, but it depends on how hard you try, oh and the beings here are human like you...mostly." Alright it's time to say goodbye, I will give you a parting gift too, you can understand and talk with people there, be grateful for once’’ said The Being and the tissure of darkness began to change.

  "Hey wait, I have a lot of things to ask, you can't leave me like that, wait."

  Alice felt herself begin to fall quickly, and beams of light appeared everywhere. She began to feel the blood flowing through her veins and something else...

  After sending her away, Being looked after her for a while and muttered. "Let's see if your potential is real or not" and it disappeared.

  --

  Alice slowly came to her senses 'Fuck that hurts so much' and started looking around to see where she was. When she turned her head, the first thing she saw was an octopus. While Alice was thinking, 'What is this thing?' the octopus suddenly started running towards her using its arms.

  'This is not an octopus' she thought and stood up in panic and started to run away. But the creature was quickly closing the gap, and as it got closer, Alice could see it in detail. The octopus-like creature's arms were pointed and sharp-ended, and its head was extremely large and long, looking completely disgusting.

  Alice tried to run away faster, but she tripped on a stone and fell to the ground. After a moment of shock, she turned to the creature and saw it approaching rapidly. Alice looked to her right and left and started feeling with her hands, 'Anything, something' and saw little pointy rocks a little further away and jumped towards them.

  Just then, the creature caught up with her then wrapped one arm tentacle around Alice's left leg, restricting her ability to move, and attacked her head with the other arm. Alice moved reflexively and turned her head to the side and narrowly avoided losing her eyes, but a deep wound opened on her cheek.

  At that moment she took stones from the ground in both hands and started throwing them at random towards the creature. The creature pulled back for a second, giving Alice a brief breath, and the sting on its cheek reminded her that she could die right now. She used all her strength and stood up.

  'I won't die here' she thought and started running with all her strength towards the huge rock she saw ahead. The creature immediately followed and was about to close the gap when Alice moved to the back of the cliff and realized that the creature had little maneuvering ability.

  '

  I can use this' and as the creature approached her, she ran to the other side of the cliff and said, 'If I can widen the distance a little and be ready, I can strike a blow.' And the training she received from her father began to come to her mind.

  After maneuvering and escaping for a while whenever the creature approached, she hid on the other side of the cliff and suddenly attacked with all her might with the sharp side of the stone in her hand as she turned towards the direction of the creature. With a sudden reflex, the creature stopped attacking and protected its head from the stone, while at the same time attacking Alice's legs with its other legs.

  'Same pattern' 'Its head must be sensitive' Alice though got excited 'I can do this' and she avoided the arm coming towards her leg turning sideways. After taking a few steps back she picked up the rock piece from the ground and at this moment the creature attacked her head 'this is same too ' she thought, and while she was avoiding the attack, felt a sudden pain in her left leg, she looked down and saw that the creature had left a deep cut on there.

  'Arghh, it hurts, damn it!' She started to roll on the ground and tried to avoid the incoming attacks, at the same time, took a stone in her other hand and while trying to block the creature's attacks with the rock in her left hand, attacked creatures head with the stone in her right hand and felt the impact. The creature suddenly fell to the ground, making a strange sound. Alice looked at her right hand and saw the creature's blood and pieces of its matters.

  While she was thinking 'I didn't hit that hard', she suddenly started vomiting and the adrenaline left her body. Alice’s last thought before losing consciousness was 'It hurts so much, Fuck'
