Sacred Time

Vin enters the class and takes his seat .

" So , why did they call you ?" Steve asks .

" Nothing " vin replays and sleeps.

" Really? That's weird, i thought you beat up someone "

" What do you think I am ? A Thug ? "

" Not sure about that though "

" Just let me sleep dude " vin says and sleeps.

****

" Help me , somebody please save me . " A young girl who's about 19 years old. The girl is screaming her lungs out .

" Save me , please. I'll pay whatever you say, please " an adult male .

" Save me , please anyone " an unknown person

" Save me "

" Ahhhhhhh...."

Screams, cries, agony . Everyone is crying, tens of thousands of people.

A dark silhouette with an eerie vibe not just one but tens of them, holding an unknown weapon in their hands . They resemble humans and , but some have two hands, some have four hands, and a pair of horns. speaking unknown language, with laugh and loud shout.

The dark silhouette, there is light on them, it's like the lights cannot touch to reflect, you literally cannot see them . It's just a pitch black figure .

Blood spilled everywhere in the room " Please, stop it, i didn't do anything . PLEASE." as the woman screams , the silhouette drags her by hair and throws her.

The same goes with the other people but everything is not happening in the same place but different locations all over the world .

This is all happening in vin's perspective . Vin can see all of this but cannot do anything nor say anything.

As he watches tens of thousands of people being dragged, there is nothing he cannot do or he even didn't know if this was real . He can feel their emotions, pain and fear but also feels unreal. The dark silhouette emerges from the shadow of the people and drags them away , they don't just take the people which they emerged from but also people who are with them.

"Mano Buddhyahamkara Cittaani Naaham" these were the words the dark silhouette spoke of before diving back into the shadows. Soon after they spoke these words , the space started shattering, like the reality itself and darkness envelopes and a second later everything is back to where it was but people are nowhere to be found .This is what vin saw yesterday evening.

As the vision ends Vin wakes abruptly , panicking.

" Are you alright? " Steve asks .

" Yea , I'm good . Just a dream ." Vin brushed it off .

Vin picks up his bag pack and leaves the classroom as the class continues.

" There is no way it can't be real , right ?. How can I see people that I've never seen before, even if I did why all of it is the same act , dragging people into their own shadows . And what about the dark figures , what the hell are they ? Chanting some words and space shatters ?? They cannot be real ." Vin thinks to himself as he reaches the behind school building. Vin picks his mobile phone and searches " missing people " , as he did the results showed up . He scrolled down to check if it was real , he did it for a few search sites and he couldn't find anyone. " See , there is no way it's true " and he laughed . On the fourth site he sees a person and shivers , thinking it's a coincidence and continues to scroll down and then ," Holy fuck " this was the only word left his mouth.

He sees , all of them , everyone on the search results , all of those people in the dreams or vision or whatever it was , they were here , on the Missing people list . He started thinking how it is possible to witness the scene that happened on the other side of earth . The head and heart throbs, like a heart beat, he holds his head and sits down .

Then he remembers. "Mano Buddhyahamkara Cittaani Naaham" he didn't know the meaning before but now he knows . He did not know what language or what it was before but, now he knows the meaning.

"I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or consciousness." this is what the sentence means .

Vin did not know any language other than English before. But now he does, not sure what language is it.

This is the reason why nobody ever found the missing people. Because they are not here , if possible not on earth too. The chant they spoke is the reason why no one knows . The shattered space and folding reality did not leave any witness, proof or clue behind. But why can he see it ? Are there other people who can too ? Like me .?. Vin thought to himself.

"Mano Buddhyahamkara Cittaani Naaham" As the sentences were spoken out loud , nothing happened, he spoke the same way as the dark silhouette did , but nothing happened.

Vin climbs over the campus fence and quickly goes home.

Bell rings for the next class.

Is everyone here ?. The new period teacher who enters the class asks .

" Sir vin isn't here . " Someone in the class shouts.

Everyone glances at each other, to find who ratted him out . But not sure who though .

" Is he not present today ?" Teacher ask .

Someone again " no sir , he was " .

" Hmm ? Then where is he ?"

" He took his bag pack and left , don't know where"

" That brat , how dare he skip the class , wait till you get to my hands and see " the teacher gets frustrated and says .

Fisher laughed in the back of the classroom. The one who ratted vin was none other than fisher .

Fisher resents vin too much . Why ? The reason is simple, vin is good at everything, in fact too good at everything.

No one in the class can do something against fisher , because his father is the CEO of some big electronic company. As for vin , no one can rat him out , other than fisher. These two are top of the school, vin does this with his own power and intelligence and fisher does things with influence, of course it's his father's name.

Vin gets home and lays on bed and racks his brain who can he see those things, but nothing works and he dozes off to sleep.

*****

Auction house.

People are having a party after the auction.

" I see that you succeed in your goal " a man in is 60s wearing a suit and holding a champion glass.

"If I succeed MY GOAL. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here today. I succeeded in today's goal , not MY GOAL, " a young man in formal dress looking at his phone speaks and turns to the man who spoke .

" Really ?, i thought you did though ."

" Unlike you I still have a long way to go , old man " the young man sneers .

" Ayyy , come on kid, I was nowhere near you when I was your age ." The old man replays .

The old man is yu-jin glynn, the chairman and CEO of the glynn industries.

The young man is the founder and CEO of apex tech corporation. Levi Martin

" I see guys having a good time " a person with a hefty build interrupted their conversation.

" Mr.gregory igor welcome, have a glass " mr.glynn welcomes him .

" I hope I didn't interrupt you guys " . Gregory Igor says and comforts his chair .

" I was about to find anyone, glad you came here" Levi speaks.

" Ohh , may I know what pleasure is that ?" Igor asks.

" I want to share my bedding items with you " Levi answers.

" As far as I know , you are not the one who gives free " Igor questions Levi .

" What do people think of me nowadays?, "Levi says

" We all know that you're a man of science, and your motto is " every action has the same reaction" glynn says to Levi.

Levi smiles, as he feels proud.

" He wasn't praising you , you know" Igor breaks Levi's proudness

" Ehhh " Levi felt heartbroken .

" Anyways, what do you want in return? For sharing the item " Igor asks.

" Nothing much , research data of the item and ..." Levi hesitates to complete the sentence.

" And.... what ?, research data is ok , I can do that but what about other things you were going to ask, I can't help if you don't complete what you started" Igor replays and questions.

" Ok fine , I won't beat around the bush , I have brain power and you have political power . Let's do this research together." Vin says .

" Hmm , I can't say "yes" for sure , I'll have to speak with some others but.. I'm in ." Igor replays with grin.

Gregory Igor, he is one of the Russian governments. And the item they are speaking about is the claws and fans of LYCAON.
