Deranged Writer's Afterword

I can't sleep.

No matter what I do, I....couldn't sleep.

I did most of the things that would bore me to death thinking that I would feel sleepy then, but instead, I felt more awake than ever.

I couldn't sleep with all these voices screaming in my head, it's just like back then. The only difference is that I had Claire to comfort me back then...now, I had no one beside me.

I was alone, just like Katherine predicted.

'No....forget about her.', I thought, shaking my head.

I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling blankly,

~~~~

I leave the hospital tomorrow.

It's been close to two weeks since I was admitted to the hospital and my hand was healing splendidly....it's almost completely healed.

" Oh Yes, finally.....I've conquered you woman!", Eric proclaims dancing around.

They've been hanging around my hospital room for some days now.

Eric had finally defeated Lecia at some lame game, I frown as they were disturbing me from reading.

I was reading an erotica that one of the nurses here had provided me with when I asked her for something to read, I wasn't that interested at first but I couldn't put it down now.

I must know if Sir Stephan wins Julia's heart!

I've also learned that these books are so much better than porn, it makes you utilize your imagination and it's been I've used that.

I continue to read ignoring their bickering.

After about forty-five minutes, I was done with the book.

I look up to find that Eric and Lecia had fallen asleep, Eric leaned on Lecia's shoulder and Lecia leaned on his head.....they looked stupid.

During the past week, I've had a lot of visitors.

For starters, Laurine Gem, our principal/spy came to visit, she was extremely worried and asked me all about the 'incident'. I told her the truth, about how Jennifer had stabbed me in the back....literally.

Patric- I mean Laurine offered to capture Jennifer but I refused his help since if Jennifer knew what was good for her, she would keep away but I wasn't stupid. I knew how to locate Jennifer if the need arose.....

All the others also visited me, we all had a heart-to-heart chat about what happened. I told them about Geoffrey. I also apologized to them if they felt uncomfortable because of me.

I wasn't taking Katherine's advice, I just didn't want them to be afraid of me.

Unfortunately, I hadn't seen Emilia since that day.

Katherine and Lecia did say that they went to check up on her, they told me that she was pretty down. The Briella household held a funeral for Martin and Clara, I wasn't invited obviously but Lecia said that it was a beautiful service.

I'm pretty sure that I ruined my relationship with Emilia...

There was only a single thing left to do before leaving tomorrow.

Well, I didn't have to do anything, I just had to wait.

'Knock'

Just as I was about to head out, a knock rang throughout the room.

Fortunately, Lecia and Eric didn't wake up.

I head out and open the door to find senior doctor, Phil waiting for me....with a rather large paper bag in his hands.

I got acquainted with Phil over my stay here, he's smart and can keep his mouth shut, those are qualities that I admire but I liked Phil because he knew his place.

Phil wanted a promotion and I could give that to him.

But nothing in this world was free, so we came up with an agreement.please visit

" You really shouldn't take these without a doctor's prescription.", Phil says handing me the brown paper bag.

" It's fine.....I know what I'm doing.", I say snatching it off him.

" If you say so.....I've delivered the rest to your home."

We exchange our goodbyes and I head to the washroom, taking out the small yellow containers within the paper bag. They were my meds, specifically some sleeping pills and a lot of antipsychotic medication.

I needed these so that the voices would stop, giving me a chance to think properly. This wasn't a permanent solution....a permanent solution would be to kill myself but since I'm not planning on doing that anytime soon...I need to learn to live with this and this was the first step.

I take off the lid of one of the containers and pop a pill inside my mouth.

The effect isn't immediate but after twenty minutes, I could enjoy silence once again.

~~~~

" Did you make sure to not leave anything behind ?", Lecia asked me for the hundredth time.

" I did," I say pleasantly.

I was happy to be able to be back in my car again,

" It's good to have you back, sir.", Victor said while driving like he always did.

" It's good to be back !", I proclaim my hands in the air.

Lecia had a small smile on her face and Eric also grinned slightly seeing my enthusiasm.

We arrived home quickly and I started to head into the house with my luggage.

" Don't bother unpacking since we're leaving tomorrow.", Lecia says calling out to me.

" Alright.", I say running into the house.

Ah.....this is it.

I've missed this little hell hole, it's disappointing that we have to leave tomorrow.

Where exactly are we running off to?

Well, Unity was a unique school in the sense that it housed its first years in the most secure barrier which was Amator, this was done to ensure the safety of the inexperienced students.

After successfully finishing their first year in Unity, students in the hero course had to move to another school located at the second barrier. The second barrier was called 'Leora' and was more vulnerable than Amator since it was closer to demon territory.

Anyways, this other school was an exact replica of Unity in every way except the fact that it's a little more luxurious, it was supposed to have more amenities.

I was lucky because these past two weeks weren't that important, the teachers were busily grading the papers.

I was discharged at the right time as everyone was leaving for Leora tomorrow.

The results of the exam were shown while I was in the hospital and of course, I passed....barely.

So, just like that we would soon leave our homes and travel into the unknown.

Even though schools were closed for the summer vacation, the students in the hero course had to pack their bags and head out to Leora, this was done to familiarize the students with their new home.

Three whole months just to familiarize with a place may sound ridiculous but it was needed as Leora was very different when compared to Amator.

Soon, we would be second-years.

Even though it's not noticeable now, the cogs are turning to bring upon the future that I want for this world.

Another reason for my excitement was because of the fact that we were finally entering the next major arc of the novel.....it was my favorite arc and that should say a lot since I hated most of what I wrote in my last life.

Yup, the [ The War Of Grey and Gold ] was an amazing arc.
