Hours passed by after the email sent by a secret organization group named "METEOR" had left Aoife thinking about how her life just changed from a single online message on the computer. She became frightened from the email that was sent to her so she decided to hide the stressed thoughts, and the emails just to keep her close ones from getting into the mess or possibly a feud from the group.
She sat back down at the gaming chair and focused on playing games on the computer trying to relieve the pressure that the email has gotten to her. Nova knocks on the door and Aoife realized she had locked the door earlier. She unlocks the door and opened it quickly. Nova asks Aoife about what to eat for dinner tonight. Aoife had forgotten she had responsibilities for Nova that her parents trusted her with.
Aoife speaks to Nova that she would be out of the apartment to buy quick dinner for them nearby. Aoife closes the door and walked towards her closet to pick her outfit going outside to buy dinner for both of them. She picked a normal athletic shirt and shorts since she didn't think about buying anywhere else expensive but buying in a convienience store.
She wears the outfit and grabs her phone and walked fast towards the door. She opens the door and announces to Nova she'll be back by 20 minutes. Nova shouted from his room replying to Aoife okay. Aoife grabs the key from the apartment and dashes out of the apartment door and went straight ahead to the elevator.
She pressed the elevator button going down and waited seconds. The elevator arrives and opens for Aoife to dash in. She quickly presses the ground floor and the elevator door closes. The elevator arrives at the ground floor and opens.
Aoife sprinted out and runs towards the red gate of the apartment and grabbed the tiny key quickly and opens the red gate. She closes it and locks it and sprints towards the convinience store. The bright moonlight guides Aoife's sidewalk for her to see the direction she is going. Minutes passed by Aoife arrives at the convienience store.
She stops her momemtum at the entrance of the door and gasps for air as she ran out of stamina and bends down to relax and placed her hand at the door to rest. She finally rests and wipes the sweat around her neck and opens the convinience store. She walks towards the cashier and asked what aisle are the instant ramen cup noodles. The cashier answered back it should be near the entrance of the store.
Aoife thanked the cashier and went straight ahead to the food aisle. She looks for the spicy cheesy ramen that her brother mostly loves and her special carbonara ramen. Few minutes passed by as she is looking for the ramen cup noodles a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her unnoticed.
"Don't forget the response DAWN_921"
Aoife's heart sank from what the dark and omnimous voice spoke and heard. Her heartbeat raised faster and faster each second. She turns around slowly and saw the dark figure's terrifying appearance. It wears a formal business suit with black mask that cannot reveal it's own facial expression with a black and white jester hat. Aoife questioned herself if her fate was sealed.
"Wh- Who are you…?"
"The Pheonix."
"Wha- What do you want from me…?"
"We the METEOR group, asks you to accept the offer"
"I dec-"
A sword came out of nowhere from the hands of the Pheonix and slices 20 strands of hair of Aoife. A dimension rift was made from the swing of the sword next to Aoife. It was like nanotechnology when the sword was formed from the hand.
The structure of the sword was beyond anything that humankind has made. The looks cannot describe it by mere humans. It was like the sword was even made before the concept of weapons existed. It had a circular shaped as the handle, numbers around the circle, was it a protractor or something else more phenomenal.
It was radiating with some kind of energy from space, it glitches and glows pink mixed with purple around the handle.
"Declining means death, you have no good reasons to not accept the offer. You have approximately 1 day left to send the email regarding the offer. Your task will be given by the time you exactly send the email to us."
Aoife nods politely to not disrespect the dark figure. She looks down for a second trying to maintain calmness and composure. She looked up again and saw the dark figure disappeared like he never existed.
Aoife shivers while picking the ramen that her brother needs to eat. She has not been this petrified in life. Words cannot express on the incident that happened to her. She grabs the ramen cup noodles that they need to eat for dinner.
Aoife still shivers from the traumatizing situation she had while trying to walk to the counter. The cashier spoke to Aoife that she doesn't feel good asked her on what happened. Aoife replied back to the cashier that nothing happened trying to hide the state she is in now. 3 minutes passed by after Aoife purchases the ramen cup noodles she sprinted out of the store and ran fast back to her apartment.
Aoife didn't care about her stamina running towards the apartment as she is worried about her little brother that could be in danger from the Pheonix. Aoife arrives at the red gate and opens the gate and closes it with the tiny key and ran on the stairs. She panted while running the exhausting stairs going towards the 3rd floor.
She arrives at the 3rd floor and turned left to her room. Aoife unlocks the room and noticed her brother is safe, just watching some TV in the living room. Aoife sighs in relief and her brother Nova asks her on why she was so quick.
She didn't reveal the truth but instead lied with her being late going to the apartment to keep Nova safe. She wipes the sweat all around her from the sprinting she had done. She prepared to cook the ramen cup noodles while she thinks about the usual normal life that she wanted.
Aoife brushed it off and told herself that she would be okay to ease her mind. After cooking the ramen she gives the spicy cheesy ramen to Nova and grabs her carbonara ramen with her to the room.
Aoife eats peacefully, she tries to relax from the night that has gone through with her. She finishes her carbonara ramen and lays down in bed yet again to temper her body and mind.
"What the fuck is going on."
