Chapter 191 - Coming (1/2)

”Little star...” Lady Mei calls out to me, making me turn. I'm no longer surprised or frightened to see her. It's almost like I was expecting her to come see me. ”Can I somehow help you? Are you still alive?” I ask out of curiosity but she just ignores me and points to the window.

I quickly push the blanket off and get out of the bed. As I walk over to the window, I see that it was no longer the view of the garden but of a small town. When I walk up to the window, I see Lady Mei standing next to a large stone well.

I crawl over the window and jump down. I lightly land on the dry dirt and quietly make my way over to the stone well. She stands next to it, looking down with a sad face. I try to push back all the creepy images of all the scary movies I've seen in the past and look down into the dark well.

I try to squint to see but it's just too dark. When I look back to Lady Mei, she's looking straight up. I frown at her and look up. My frown quickly disappears as I see the sun being covered like an eclipse.

I swat at an annoying fly and realize that it's not just an eclipse. The sky starts to turn a strange red color, instantly giving me a bad feeling. I swat at the fly again as I turn back to look at Lady Mei but she's no longer here.

I quickly begin looking around but I don't see her. The small townspeople were now all standing outside, looking up and pointing to the sky but as the sun continues to disappear behind the dark moon, the ominous feeling continues to grow.

I swat again at the damn fly and realize that there's more than one. I look over to the well and step back. They're probably drawn to the water... Suddenly, I feel a chill run down my back as I look back to the people.

Something's not right... ”Go home! Go inside and lock your doors!” I yell out to them as I start walking over to the people. To my surprise, they all turn to look at me with surprise. 'They can hear me?' One man says ”It's the middle of the day. The rains just came back, we need to work in the fields.”

Suddenly, something that sounds like rain or something comes from behind me. I stop and turn around to look at the well with confusion. The people from the town even look over to the well with a frown but when the sound grows, my heart sinks.

I turn back to the townspeople and yell ”Go now! Get inside, quickly!!” The townspeople just stare at me like I'm a lunatic as I run towards them at full speed. The sound grows louder and louder before a large mass of flies come bursting forth from the well.

The mass is so large, it nearly blackens the sky! The townspeople suck in and scream in fear but they still aren't going inside! Are they just plain retarded!? ”Get inside!!” I yell at them at the top of my lungs but my scream is barely heard as the buzzing from the large mass of flies drowns it out.

I turn to see the mass of flies headed straight for me! My reflex has me freezing and covering my head but to my surprise, the mass group of flies part around me like a stone in a stream! They fly straight past me and head straight for the townspeople!

Everything is washed in red from the eclipse, giving everything an eerie feel as the flies begin attacking the entire town. People scream and run but they're no match for the evil flies! The flies were flying straight into people's mouths and noses.

They try to use their powers to drive off the flies but it doesn't seem to do anything to them! I run at full speed and use my wind powers to try and blow the flies away but they are left untouched! What the hell!? I try using all my powers against the flies but nothing seems to be working so when a man falls onto the ground next to me with flies attacking every hole on him, I quickly grab a jar of water and pour it on the man but the flies still remain unbothered.

I drop the jar on the ground, shattering it, and watch with shock and horror as the flies continue crawling into the man while he screams for help. My eyes water as I drop to my knees and begin swatting at the flies, trying to do anything I can to help the man but when his screams turn silent... I know it's too late.
