The 'Guardian'[4]
[Ace POV],
Shaking my head violently to reduce the uncomfortable feeling that ca from hearing these voices, it didn't take long for to realize my actions to reduce it was useless.
'Ugh,' I grumbled as the voices beca clearer and louder as the seconds passed..
"Ace please help....
"Ace help .....
"Ace...
Three different voices of one of the people I've interacted with the most throughout my life asking for help at the sa ti was taking its toll on .
"Are Mom, Big Sis, and Gustav here?" I thought as I found myself looking through the fog for any kind of clue, which I, predictably, did not find.
"Are they here or are they not?" I thought as it beca increasingly difficult to endure the loud voices in my head.
When I almost scread to let it all out, the voices in my head vanished, but the discomfort I was still feeling told I really did hear those voices, and just as I was about to breathe, the voices that had vanished before reappeared.
"Ace.... "Ace.... "Ace.... "Ace.... "Ace.... "Ace.... "Ace....
It was still the sa familiar voices I was hearing, but this ti they were calr to hear than the previous one.
Apart from being a ss because all three voices were speaking at the sa ti, I was finally able to breathe and shake the uneasy feeling from earlier.
Sothing struck now that I could hear the voices better.
Each of these voices in my head ca from a different direction. I could hear their voices coming from three different directions around .
There are two on my left and one on my right.
Gustav and big sis were the voices I could hear on my left, and my mother's voice was on my right.
They were divided.
"Am I supposed to choose?" I thought as I was still unsure if everything that was happening was real, but the belief that it might be real was attacking .
While this world and forest are vast, it should not be impossible to co across my family.
After all, although the world has changed, I still ran into Adara and my classmates, so it should be possible to run into other people I know.
As I pondered these thoughts while still trying to determine whether what I was experiencing was real or not, I noticed my mother's and sister's voice octaves rising a few notches higher I felt sothing in my heart as I heard their cries for help grow louder.
Thinking about this, I was about to rush out and help when I was stopped by a sudden thought.
'Which way should I go?' My mother and sister's voices ca from different directions, I thought.
'I had to choose,' I thought as I noticed my hands had begun to sweat as the feeling in my heart grew stronger.
'Mom or sis?' I muttered because I was stuck and didn't know which option to take.
I could tell they had encountered sothing dangerous by the fear in their voice.
I didn't have ti to consider whether what I was experiencing was real or not at this point.
If I waited any longer and this turned out to be true, soone might have died, but the problem is that I had to choose right now.
It's either my mother's voice or my sister's voice that I choose. In any case, it ant that I had to choose one and abandon one.
I didn't even have ti to think about Gustav because I was preoccupied with my family.
As I quickly thought of these things, a sudden thought occurred to , and I paused to consider it.
It's a little unrealistic, now that I think about it, to run into my family in this fog. There's also the part about how they got into the fog in the first place.
Even if this foggy forest was huge enough to cover a broad enough region for mom and sis to encounter it, it was still unrealistic for them to appear in this part of the forest given the distance. It was also impossible for them to be together.
Though this would be good if true, I couldn't rule out the possibility that my mother and sister are in different locations.
In this fog, it also doesn't make sense for mom, sister, and Gustav to appear at the sa ti and in the sa place. For one thing, these three people were very familiar to , and it was too coincidental for them to be calling my na at the sa ti for the sa reason.
How did their voice get into my head to begin with?
Everything had been out of the ordinary since I stepped onto the foggy bridge. Only now have I cald down enough to think about it.
When I first entered the fog and saw nothing, I tried to speak but realized I couldn't hear myself. If it had been a normal person, he or she would have been terrified.
Then there was the ti I turned around to check on my teammates but found no one. If a normal person had been terrified from the start because he or she couldn't hear his or her own voice, the situation would have only gotten worse.
This place's absolute silence could contribute to these two things and drive one insane.
This prompted another thought in . All of this appears to be a manipulation ga.
Everything that happened from the mont I entered this fog until now has made it appear as if soone was trying to manipulate ; if this is true, then there can only be one being who would do so.
'The Guardian,' I thought, and imdiately, I felt a presence approaching from behind .
