Into the Unknown: Chapter 15

Paralyzed

I fell into the river, and as soon as one part of my body touched the river, my muscles and my nerves turned to jelly and I was swept by the current.

All I could do now is watch with both of my eyes as the current swept me. As I went through the coursing river, the river seems to get colder and colder until at one point it just reached freezing cold.

Someone grabbed me out of the water, and I could tell it's Fuuka.

"Nice dip, isn't it?" Fuuka taunted. I silently held up a finger covered with my body and started drawing on the earth. I hoped Emma would get my message that I am here.

"Shirato! What are you waiting for?" A man in the distance shouted. I tried to move, but apparently I was infected by some kind of paralytic toxin that stopped all of my external muscles from moving. All I could do now is blink.

Shirato dragged my apparently listless body to the man who I know as Xavier. Xavier has doubled his power along with my friends since we got touched by that giant rabbit. To be honest, I have doubled my power, but I don't see it in me right now since I am now paralyzed.

Xavier picked me up and dumped me to the back seat. I continued to open my eyes and look at where we're going. Unfortunately, the windows are painted black except for the front glass, so I can't see outside.
