Deranged Writer's Afterword

'Scring'

The sound of wrapping paper being torn apart rings vividly in my ears as I slowly opened the gifts I had received.

The first one I opened was Emilia's...she bought me very heavy dumbbells.

" Thank you.", I say, smiling at Emilia and taking the next gift in my hand.

This one was given by Max, I had the idea of burning it but that might seem rude. I quickly remove the wrapping paper and a book was revealed underneath.

" How to deal with anger...eh ?", I say reading out the book's long title.

" Well....I thought it would help you, hehe.", Mark says laughing like an idiot.

The others all have a small laugh at my expense and then I quickly move on to the next gift.

This one was from Jennifer, I opened it up quickly and I found that it was a dress....a woman's gown, one that resembled very closely to the dress that Cinderella wore in that stupid fairy tail.

Seeing me confused, Jennifer lets out a chuckle and says,

" I thought it would be fitting since you know...you look like a girl now."

....

After the others once again have a good laugh at my expense, I move on to the next gift.

The next one I chose to open was Lecia's, quickly removing the wrapping paper I found a soft blanket inside that had....little strawberries as a basic design.

I resist the urge to lick the blanket and move on to the next gift after thanking Lecia.

The next one was Katherine's...it was extremely small so opening it was very easy.

It was a keychain....of a small strawberry, the strawberry had eyes and hands as well. It was cute...I resist the urge to lick it [ for tasting purposes] and put it down with the other gifts.

" It's stupid...isn't it ?", Katherine asked looking down, her face was flushed.....is it that embarrassing ?

" I love it.", I say staring at her flushed cheeks.

Katherine's eyes widen slightly hearing me, I enjoy her reaction more that I'd like to admit.

We go inside the mansion and chat about for an hour before they all left.

Thus, ended my sixteenth birthday celebrations.

" Arghhh....cleaning up is such a pain.", I groan out cleaning up the remains of yesterday's party.

We could have easily hired people to clean this up, but Lecia insisted on doing the clean up together. I don't get her sometimes.

" Stop whining and get on with it.", Lecia ordered doing her part.

I was given the task of taking the lanterns away.

I frowned reaching for the lantern that was hung on a branch of small tree, somehow in the process of taking it, I hurt myself.....a drop of my blood fall on the ground and then everything went dark-

I was in a familiar battlefield....no it was more fitting to call it a graveyard, millions of allies and foes had been slain and their bodies were starting to release an unpleasant odor.

I watched in horror as crows feasted on their bodies, a pain that I hadn't noticed earlier attacked my body.....I look down to find a hole, the size of a fist, where my heart was supposed to be.....

As my body [?] fell down, a voice that I wasn't familiar with could be heard,

" This...isn't.....over."

It took me a minute to realize that...it was my voice....only it wasn't my voice.....this wasn't my body.....this wasn't my memory.

This.....was someone else entirely.

'Huff'

I wake up, breathing heavily.

'What was that ?', I thought massaging my forehead.

" Adam !...", Lecia exclaimed in shock seeing me awake.

Both her and Eric rush toward me and look me up and down,

" Are you okay ?", Eric asked

" Is it those visions again ?", Lecia asked looking concerned.

" Yes.", I say answering both their answers together.

~~~~

It's been two days since....my little vision.

I feel completely fine now.

Today.....I was going to meet Dina because I might as well start dealing with her now. I need to do something instead of just wasting my time like this.

I wasn't that scared because I was sure that Dina wouldn't hurt me....unless I really provoked her.

I was currently just outside her quarters inside the school grounds.

Teachers were given a residence at the school and getting to Dina's quarters wasn't that hard.

I knock on the door and wait for her to open the door.

I was calm since I had already prepared myself...mentally.

The door slowly opened, revealing Dina's thin figure.

She wore casual clothes...which looked weird on her. She looked extremely surprised to see me,

" Adam ?!"

But her surprise soon died down,

" I knew that you would come...."

I walk inside without asking for her permission, she didn't seem to mind all too much.

" I actually wanted to talk to you for awhile now.."

" About what ?", I ask sitting down comfortably on her sofa.

I'm going to emotionally blackmail her now...oh boy, this is going to be roug-

" I brought your father here..."

.......

" W-what ?", I ask thinking that I had misheard.

Dina smiled warmly before saying,

" I brought Alvah...you loved him a lot didn't you ?"

No....that's not-

No....please....if Dina was my mother she would never do this.....something's wrong.

My mother hated him....there's no way she would willingly bring him here.

Dina's smile became wider as she says,

" Now...the three of us can finally become family again."

.....

The door to Dina's bedroom opened, a boy who looked about eleven or twelve came out.

He smiled at me, warmly....just like Dina.

" Oh.....you must be the boy....I've heard a lot about you....----"

In the novel, I based a character off my mother and...father.

My mother was Dina.....an angel.

My father was Alvah.....he was also an angel.

If I had to point out a difference between the two...

My father....no Alvah was a tad bit more crazier...
