Quianna’s POV
I am still here in the hospital waiting for Dylan to arrive. Austin can also be discharged today and looked like his team would pick him up. I am looking at him as he fixes the clothes he got as well as the other things while being hospitalized. I looked at my side and realized that I have nothing to fix about, Aina already made sure that my things are already been prepared and Dylan just have to carry it out of the hospital. I called Aina just to tell her that I was being discharge today but why I feel like she is hiding something from me? I know that would be odd knowing that she is my best friend aside from Dylan, but still, something is uncomfortable.
“What would you gonna do next?” Austin asked to me and I was only staring at him blankly.
“Right now, I have no idea. I think I should first gather information about that organization.” I answered to him.
“Would you need some help? You can call me anytime
Quianna's POVThe dinner ended and now Dylan and I were only lounging at their living room. I already know that everything is just under my delusions, not with its literal meaning but the point is I am witnessing a person that really came from the parallel world as what we know. I am looking at him as he watches the television like he already knows what would happen next. I was just eating chips and I do not know what to say, should I ask him directly or should I just pretend that I did not notice anything?"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked to me and I faced him."Huh?" I mumbled."Looks like you were debating by yourself, do you need some help?" he asked to me and I eyes were wavering, avoiding his gaze and at the same time peeking at him."You can say it, I think I already have the idea." he continued and I let out a deep sigh."Alright, enough with these pretentious actions. I know that you are not from her
Quianna’s POVWe are still here in the car driving on the way towards my house, Austin picked me up from Dylan’s house and it turns out, that Dylan came from another world. He wanted me to stop investigating and I looked at Austin who was driving, should I tell him that Aina would die if we continued this crazy investigation? I called the number that kept on messaging me, someone answered but it was just held on, no one was speaking and ended the call without me getting any useful information."No, because it is passed midnight." he suddenly said.“What do you mean?” I asked to him and he parked the car at the side road and looked at me.“I also tried that thing, calling the number that was messaging me. It came through when I called during the day but when I tried calling it after midnight, the call is restricted. The number is not working anymore.” He explained to me.“So are you saying that we can
(Quianna)I am still here at the building and currently looking around aside from the fact that people are now having their shifting rotations. It was already past two in the morning but I still have no plan of leaving without having concrete answers for my questions. I looked around to the things they are doing and of course, being a woman who got no interests in science or anything, would not understand the purpose and meaning of those symbols written on the whiteboard, and they were constantly being erased by the people here.And I just can't understand Mr. Lee's answer earlier, how could time paradox is not a thing and why I can't change the situation? If it does not affect the past and the future, then changing something would also not create any differences to any of those."Yana, are you not going home?" Mr. Lee asked to me and I stare on everything first before making any decision."Tell me, did Aina know about this?" I asked to
(Quianna) The next day came and I decided to walk and look around the whole house. Looking back, those people coming from the another parallel world, went here and killed mom. They think something is going on in this house, and this place must have some sort of a secret that they need to acquire before anyone else, or before me getting it. I firstly entered the master's bedroom, I think my room would be empty and out of the options as I do not have any knowledge--- or should I think reversely? I stopped in front of the master's bedroom, I was about to grab the doorknob when I realized it. I walked backwards and went back to my bedroom, if my dad would put something important in this house, he would have put it in my room- the place where people would not think of. I entered and I looked around, I know every part of it but I do not know where to start. I saw my desk, it has a lot of drawers and spaces to keep something. But what in the hell am I lo
(Quianna)We are now here at the meeting room and I am with three guys, Austin, Aaron and Jason. Austin is sitting beside me and his aura is screaming superiority when he and Aaron I think do have the same position. Jason, who is the only one standing up was at the podium and by the projector looks like he is the one who will brief us up about the case. And I am just here eating the biscuits in here as I did not have the chance to grab some bite before I went here earlier. I saw Austin is stirring something and he suddenly gave me the cup he is holding, I looked at it and he made me a cup of coffee. I accepted it and drink a bit of it before the meeting started."Today I am going to explain the case of the culprit of the terror attack." Jason started and we all started to listening. He flashed the next slide of the presentation."His name is Robby Cana, a janitor working for the electronics company. He has no family and an orphaned since he was five
Quianna’s POVAustin drove the three of us towards my house. Aina is already with us and we decided to go to Austin’s house to start officially the investigation. But, I told them that I need to drop by in the house as I need to get things that I might be needing during the investigation. I just remembered the flash drive I am looking at before Austin arrived at the house, I still have not seen the content, I have no idea what was in there and I think all of us should now see and know everything. Now, I do not have the time to think who are the persons I would trust or befriended with, I just wanted to solve and put everything in the right places.After some minutes of driving, we arrived at the house. I quickly get off as soon as he parked the car in front of the house and I saw the two of them also get off and followed me in. I opened the gate and the three of us quickly entered the main door, but I felt something is wrong, the doorknob has been left the
Quianna’s POVWe now arrived at Austin’s house, we entered inside the house and it looks normal and simple to me, the interior is all white and black, it has a nice ambiance to look at. Aina and I sat on the couch here at the living room, it was an automatic response when you went in an unfamiliar place. Austin walked towards the other side and I guess that is the kitchen area, he went out holding cans of drinks. I looked on it and I chuckles when I saw it was a carbonated drink, he put it on the table and he even get some biscuits from a container.“Sorry, I did not expect that someone would go here.” He said and I nodded.“It is alright, you offered and we do not have the right to complain.” Aina answered and I looked on her, she sounds too sarcastic that I just slightly hit her hand.“We could just order some food to eat.” I said and smiled.“Right, what do you want to eat? I could just call
Quianna’s POVAustin, Aina and I were still here at Austin’s house, we already finished eating and currently researching about the Sekai organization. I do not have the reason why, but Austin has a lot of papers and documents here in his house and we are currently reading those one by one. My eyes hurt and when I looked around, Aina is already sleeping, and Austin is still reading each paper he got on his hand. I put down the pile of paper on the table and stood up, I started stretching a bit and walking around the living room, looking at some stuffs he got in here, he got some picture frames, his photo when he graduated the police university and even when he got promoted.I went by the window and looked out from it, he got no other view here but houses and building stood to each other. I see nothing but closed walls and cramped spaces, it looks somewhat suffocating to me. I went back to the couch where I am sitting and Austin is still reading in the same p
Quianna’s POVI started driving quick beyond the maximum when Austin texted me the location of the accident. I was nervous, scared and even unstable at the same time, but I do not have the time to be weak. I thought I already overcame those struggles, Aina lived after that day, Austin also lived even though I am not still sure if he died in the other world. But Dylan, he do not have the right to feel comfortable or even relaxed knowing that there is no direct evidence, in the beginning. But now, Aina got another one, but her life became in danger, I do not deserve to be called as her best friend or even the one to receive those messages.I arrived at the location of the accident, and I saw a car parked in the middle of the road and somewhat little smoke was coming out from the front of that car. I quickly get off and run towards the driver’s seat to check if Aina was still there, but she was not. I was in mental breakdown, do not know what to think, my mind
Quianna’s POVI stayed on the ground as long as I wanted, my tears were already dried because of the cold gusting wind of the night but I am still here on my knees. I looked up in the sky and it was dark grey in color, despite of the night being calm, I could still sense its gloominess. I slowly stood up as I decided to go back to the ward, I should be doing another plan of catching Dylan’s tail instead of sitting in this place alone and crying. I do not have the time to feel the pain, to feel the sadness, to feel the pain that both of us were having.It was all pointless.I walked towards the door and turned the doorknob slowly, when someone at the other side pulled the door and I forcedly let the door opened without me exerting any kind of effort. I stood firm as I looked of who could that person be. I smiled weakly when I recognized his cold face staring back at me. He slowly walked towards me and I was just waiting for him to arrive in front of m
Quianna’s POVI sat on the couch here in the VIP ward where Austin was resting, I personally asked for this room as a private place for the four of us to talk about the plans. In this separated room from the others, as well as from the other wards, no one could ever notice the people who would go in and out from this place of the hospital. This is exclusively made for the family, a ward that all of the relatives could go whenever something happened- and now that I do not have any family now, I could use this to whoever I wanted.I looked on Austin and he was comfortably lying on the bed while sleeping. It is already past midnight but I cannot sleep. I have to think straight and plan my next move, the enemies would not stay still knowing that their mission of killing Austin, the thing that they expected will happen did not take place in this version of the parallel world.I heard pairs of footsteps from the outside and walking towards this direction. I quic
Quianna’s POVThe clock struck on midnight and I am the only one staying in the house. Because of the conflict that our group made, every one of them has their own thing to be done, or to do just to save me in this hell. I was sitting on the cold tiled floor at the living room and leaning my back against the couch I am trying to fit myself in between the glass centerpiece and the long couch in this part of the house. In front of me was a huge transparent fiber glass window, but it was open halfway leading the cold evening breeze coming in as the white plain curtains were moving in the shadow. It was pitch black inside the house, I have been here since Aina left hours after Aaron and Jason did, she said that she has something to do for the case that he now has to leave.Not saying anything to me or even a hint, she left without turning back. I only kept on staring blankly, letting out deep sigh of worries and frustrations not only for the situation we are in but m
Austin’s POVI looked around the crime scene, just judging by the look of the room, I guess there had been a fight that leads for his demise. Aaron keeps walking around even if the only thing that he should be checking is the drawers of this table, I searched all of it, even the insides and under of the furniture, to check if there could be any secret compartment- but there is none. The forensics might also get the results from the prints they got in this room, Aaron is glancing over me and I realized that we got the conversation we are needing right now. I nodded at him and both of us went out from the room, stood by the end of the hallway and even look around checking for people who might eavesdrop from our conversation.“What happened?” I asked to him and leaned on the wall.“When Jason and I got in the room, he is already dead.” He answered to me.“Not that one.” I said and he looked at me.“What
Austin’s POVIt was a brief confusing moment for me, why the regional office would open that case again, and on top of that, it looks like a confidential and close investigation to me. She stares at me as I looked at her in my puzzled look, I do not want to any anything, as I might say something that I was keeping to myself- Yana’s case is not known to anyone, especially to the police force. As what Yana said to all of us, this case is extra special, not only that it does not have a direct suspect, but at the same time evidence are difficult to find.Child murderer, that is the name of the case in which Dylan was connected to. Based on the database, he is the victim of that crime but the name was telling something otherwise. His mother committed suicide but the only one who witnessed that crime was himself, Dylan- in which should be the witness not labeled as the murderer.“Why would that case resurface again?” I asked to her and she plai
Austin’s POVI am frustrated, that is for sure. I am mad to myself that I cannot accept the fact that Yana is saying the truth and probably the most plausible thing to do in this case. I left the house and decided to have my adventure on my own, just only this time. I need time to be alone and think of the possible ways to solve everything. I know parallel world is something that was not yet taken seriously and is still not normal in law and even in the society. I went back to the police station and they were looking at me, I am still not yet back in the force but I do not care on any of that. I will still go back in here, investigate like my badge was still active and order these juniors who has been slacking since Aaron got another case- and that was Yana’s.As soon as they saw me, they quickly moves and started to act like they were busy looking on those documents who were just nothing but empty papers piled. I walked towards them and stood firm as I ser
Quianna’s POVAina and I were only looking at him, he is totally out of his mind and he wanted to sacrifice the life of his daughter when he said that it is the sole reason why he is doing this study. I just cannot understand how his mind works, he initially wanted to save his only daughter and now, he is willing to give her up just to prove his theories. I looked on Aina and she was silently watching his own father being mindlessly rummaging through the files and looking like some crazy scientific man who gave everything up for his own discovery.But I wanted to correct my word for that, this is not his own discovery- he just stole it from my dad.I stood up and started walking towards the door, I cannot waste my time here watching and even babysitting some insane person, I need to know more or even everything about this place. I successfully went out but I felt that someone got the door behind me, I looked back and it was Aina. She smiled at me and nodde
Quianna’s POV\I looked again on the message and glance over to Aina sitting on the couch, how could I protect her when I just asked her to observe those people? I just let out a deep sigh and trying to rack my brains out to think the possible solution for it. I still believe these messages; I still want to believe in these things. I stood up and decided to go to the Sekai Organization, I noticed that she also stood up and followed me, I abruptly stopped and looked back to her.“You have to call Jason.” I said to her and she looked shocked.“Hey! I told you, I do not have anything to say—” I did not let her finish her sentence and showed her my phone.“You are dying.” I said to her and she went silent.“What do you want me to do?” she seriously said and put down my phone.“Do you want to go with me?” I asked and she smirked.“Of course.” She said and I
