3. A way to Freedom

~~~~~~~~

London: 2007

So it seems that it wasn't too bad, I think, I just have to do Dillans Homework too now, not a big deal, mostly, because he is in the same Class as me, so I can just copy mine for the most part, but the problem is that he has other Courses and extra Homework in English and Math because he seemingly isn't really the brightest to exist, which is really an annoyance to me, as it would be the most boring shit to do.

Anyway the dong to the End of Class rang, and Dillan leaned over to me to write down his Homework in the Middle of the Paper where all my Notes were, just to annoy the living shit out of me, 'what a nice person he is'.

"So this will be your first, ahm, what do you call that again?, ah right 'Assignment'" He says with a chuckle, after that he just packs his things and leaves, while I sit there, pretty clearly annoyed at all this.

Well, at least now I know up until when I have to endure this. I think while sighting and repeating '1 month' in my head a few times, while packing my things together, afterwards I stand up and make my way out of Class, but before I could do so Mr. Hamilton called out to me "Hey Aron, your Father called me on Saturday, something about how you were being Bullied?" He walks towards me and places his Hand on my Shoulder while coming down to Eye level "I just want you to know that you can talk to me and the other teachers for that matter anytime you want, and we will listen, I promise" he smiled at me.

I thought about it for a moment, maybe they'll really be able to do something useful, and just maybe I'll be free earlier than I thought.

I nodded my Head in slight hope and enthusiasm -'let's try it then'- "Yes, I have to do Jack and Chucks Homework, otherwise They'll beat me." after saying that 'Mr. Hamilton' went into thought.

"Are you talking about the Jack and Chuck from the 5th Grade?" He asks as if already knowing the answer.

"Ahm, yes they are in 5th Grade"

"Hmn, I thought so, anyway, thank you for being honest, and telling me, We will have to handle that tomorrow then" he said while brimming with confidence

I felt relieved, if Mr. Hamilton was gonna take care of it, then I wouldn't have any problems anymore, he seems so confident in his actions, I may really not even have to wait the Month out.

"Thank you Mr. Hamilton." I smiled at him, being genuinely happy at this development, before I wasn't sure when my father asked me, or when I thought about it on my own, but he is so confident in his work, so how could it not work? I mean I once read that confidence was key, So.

"No problem Aron." saying that he gave me another warm Smile, smiling back at him I walk out of the Door, taking a last look at him I whisper so that nobody could hear it "I trust you."

After a while of walking I come by the Alley that I normally go through as a kind of shortcut, but just walk past it this time.

"Not tha' hasty ma friend." a voice clang out from behind, as I felt a Hand holding my Arm, preventing me from moving forwards, I turned my head to look at the one who stopped me, pretty much already knowing the answer, and it was just as expected, Jack held my Arm while Chuck stood behind him, Like a General commanding his Troops with his Authoritative and Arrogant Look

"Ah, H-hello" I stutter a little.

"So? you weren't there yesterday, why?" Chuck asked while Jacks grip on my Arm tightened.

"I-I was in an Accident, y-you heard o-of t-that C-Car exploding, Y-yeah I got hit." I tried to excuse myself with the Truth, hoping they won't do what they normally do.

"Oh that, yeah I heard about it, so as you are still 'injured', we will have 'Mercy' on you for today." He walks past Jack, right to me, his mouth directly next to my Ear and said in a serious and menacing Voice. "But remember, that the 'Mercy period' doesn't last forever."

I felt something hit my Stomach, Hard, as I could only bend to the pain and spit a little of Saliva on the ground, almost losing my balance and falling to the Floor. I sighed in Relieve that I was able to hold my balance, if only barely, because the Floor was full of mud and Water.

"See that as my Gift of 'Mercy' to you, if you will." Chuck said, before calling for his Dog, "Jack, come".

Walking towards Chuck, Jack makes a quick stop at me and kicks my Leg away, making me fall to the ground and into the Mud. "An see tat as mine, haha" He said that while Chuckling to himself, 'While CHUCKLING, F#CKING CHUCKLING, AS IF MY LIFE IS A F#CKING JOKE TO THEM OR SOMETHING.' I Rage in my Mind hitting the Ground in the progress, Mud and Water splashing into my Face.

"F#ck" I mutter before tears fell, Snot slowly came out of my Nose, as I began to cry in the Streets of London, lying in the Mud and Dirty Water.

'Why am I so pathetic' I slowly crawl to the Wall to lean against it. I cry just a little longer, as the Sky turns darker than it already was and Rain begins to pour down, and onto my Face, washing my Tears away, only for new ones to appear.

"I should go, Dad probably is already worried." I mutter, just wait for tomorrow guys.

My Sour Mood quickly turned into a happy one as I Imagined Jack and Chuck being punished, I don't know why, but for some reason the Image of Jack and Chuck locked in a Prison Cell while Crying for forgiveness, begging for Mercy came to mind came to mind.

I started to Grin at the thought of it. sitting there for a good half an Hour.

"Okay, wasted enough time now. Let's go" I state before standing up and walking back Home.

As I waked I was on my way Home I walked through Cockspur Str. and I felt the same feeling as the other times again, but this time it was stronger, as if something was telling me to do something, but I didn't know what they were telling me, so I just ignored it like the first time.

As I arrived Home and walked through the door, I greeted Dad while going into my Room, I first change my clothes and put them to be washed, then I seat myself on my Chair and take out my College Block, looking at the Homework that Dillan gave me I sighed.

I flipped through the pages of the Block to find the worksheet we got and began to solve it, one by one, after a while I felt my Phone vibrating, and when I looked at it, I sighted, as I saw that Chuck just send me the Homework that he and Jack had to finish for tomorrow, "It's gonna be a long Night it seems" I commented quietly, before continuing to write in my College Block.

A few hours passed in which I ate and well . . . did the Homework, it's really annoying, having to read Shakespeare, while knowing that I would have to do it all over again next year, when I have it myself in 5th Grade.

Finishing to answer the Questions asked in the Book, I close it send a picture of it to Chuck and Jack and just throw myself into Bed being dead tired after doing all this shit.

Well, maybe it'll all be over by tomorrow when Mr. Hamilton's punishment comes for them, I think.

Closing my Eyes I slowly drift into the Realm of Sleep.

I see Stars, they are full of these Blue lines that have already become a daily occurrence for me, they go along the stars in some sort of order, some form weird looking symbols, they weirdly reminded me of the way a Character in the Book I read was able to use Magic, He used some kinds of Symbols to form Magic, because he himself was too weak to do Magic with his imagination, and so he revolutionized the World by creating a more Powerful kind of Magic, and it could too be used by non-Magic Users, naturally only if they had the Money, as they could inscribe the Symbols on Materials, and sell them to non-Mages, which is why it was popular afterwards.

I looked around at the many Symbols and then I focused on one in particular, I don't know why I picked this one, but it seemed so 'Basic' if compared to all the other ones which had swirels everywhere and some seemingly random Shapes just randomly attached to it, with no obvious order in place, while this symbol was just a ,G', but more Triangular shaped.

After looking at it for a few more moments, I looked around to see where I actually was, But. . . Well, there was nothing, It seems I was just floating around in Space . . How nice.

I try to swing my Arms like when one would swim in Water, but it didn't work, 'Maybe If I think about moving, I mean I'm pretty sure this is one of those lucid dreams I've read about.'

Thinking of moving, I move, "Ha, Neat" I mutter, not that anyone could hear me anyway. I play around a little, flying in Circles and Loops and such, wait aren't both pretty much the same, Argh who cares.

But after a few minutes it got boring so I just flew to where the ,G' like symbol was even though it was more like a Star Formation, so it was a useless endeavor, but I couldn't do much anyway.

After about an Hour of flying I saw a Thing in the Form of a humanoid, it looked weird, as it had an Ancient looking Armor on, and as I came nearer I noticed just how enormous it truly was when compared to me, It's actually so big, that I can't even really grasp it anymore, at this point it's probably bigger than the entire Earth itself.

It said in a Calm and even kind of mechanical Voice "How did you get here?" It seemed a little flustered but not overly, as if it had seen so many things that something like this couldn't bother it too much.

Now that I think about it how can I hear it, I mean I am in Space. . Oh yeah I'm in a Dream too,

forgot.

"So I just went to Sleep, and floated here? That's it" I say, stating the obvious for me.

"Well, that is Indeed a Curious way to get here, 'Human'" It said, I couldn't really tell If it was looking at me, as for just how Big it was, but I imagined that it was looking at me. "Anyway, I will just send you Home, I am not sure if you could return otherwise" it stated.

A White blinding Light came out of his left Hand, which then enveloped me, forcing me to block my Eyes to avoid the Brightness, "Wait, what do you mean I wouldn't be abl. . ." but before I could finish my Question I was already back Home in my Bed, as I noticed that I was sweating Bullets.

"What was that?" I wondered as it didn't feel like a Dream, even if it was supposed to be lucid.
