Inhuman Warlock

"I don't understand what you're speaking about. I told you I didn't know anything," Predictor responded.

"Don't think I didn't notice that subtle smirk on your lips. Tell me the truth. What did you hide from us? And why didn't you tell us anything?" Kane asked again.

Even after asking again, he only received silence in response.

He stepped forward and sat beside Predictor on the bed. "Look... Uprising has been disbanded. All the members have left. I have no way to contact them again. I'm the only one who is here. Whatever you say won't affect anything now."

"So you can tell me what you saw. It won't change anything. I just want to know if we had any other option or not?"

"You want to hear the truth?" Predictor asked as his smile became wider.

"What else would I want to hear? Tell me what you saw?"

"I saw quite a lot of dreams actually. And for some reason, they all came one after another. I never experienced this phenomenon before. It came as a surprise even to me."

"But the first dream I saw started it all. It was just a few days ago."

"What did you see?"

"Let me go in order. The first dream of mine was exactly what happened now. It was about the disbanding of the Uprising. You gave the speech and the Uprising disbanded."

"If you heard my speech, you must've heard what happened as well. You must've heard about all the deaths. Why didn't you warn us? Why didn't you tell us how dangerous that place was? Why didn't you warn us?" Kane asked.

Even though he had already expected this, he was still in disbelief. If they had known about this before, they might've changed the future like they did before.

"Let me continue... The reason I didn't tell you anything was because of the third dream."

"What was that?"

"What's the hurry? Let me speak in order. We were on the second dream..."

"Before I could wake up, my first dream stopped and the second dream began. It was the first in my lifetime."

"What did you see?"

"I saw an explosion... I saw Lucifer being swallowed in that explosion. He disappeared after that. I believe he dies."

"Where did it happen? It looks like that's yet to come true. We just saw him yesterday."

"I don't know when it happened. I didn't see a time there. The dream was over before I could see. Anyway, now to the third dream..."

"If I hadn't seen the third dream, I swear I would've told you everything I saw. I would've helped you all. But the third dream changed it all. It changed all my feelings."

"Tell me! What did you see?!"

"I saw death," Predictor declared.

"Whose death?"

"Mine."

"What? Who killed you?"

"I don't think I need to answer that question at this point in time. Just know that I don't want anything to do with you all. Please leave this place."

"You must tell me! Who kills you? And why did that stop you from telling us? You should've told us! We could've saved you as well!"

"You really want to know?"

"I do! Tell me who did it?!"

"You did it..."

Thud~

As soon as Predictor finished his sentence, a knife came swinging. The knife sliced the neck of Kane.

Kane's eyes remained open wide as he looked at Predictor in shock. He held his neck, trying to understand what had just happened but he failed to understand. Did Predictor see him kill? Why would he kill Predictor?

He tried speaking but no voice came from his lips.

"You killed me... You stabbed me right in the chest. I would've been fine if it were just you but the entire organization was here, including Lucifer."

"In the third dream, I saw you killing me. Uprising hadn't disbanded. I asked you all why you killed me even after I told you about what will happen in Zeston and helped you, but you didn't answer."

"Seeing that scene, I understood that I was seeing an alternative reality."

"Generally, I only see what was going to happen. I don't see what would happen if I try to change that future often. However, hearing my words, it was clear that in this reality I had helped you all. In that reality, I had told you what I saw. And you survived as well..."

"However, your survival came with my death. Why would I do something that would have me killed? Instead, I let the future take its course. Uprising disbanded. You're gone and so is everyone. The scene can't come true now."

"I hope you understand my plight," Predictor said, placing his hand on the shoulders of Kane.

"Also, guess what...."

Predictor brought his lips closer to the ears of Kane. "I told Jian about the people that were in Zeston and the ones who were outside. I told him everything. The reason I managed to plan everything is because I helped him as well."

"You can't blame me for switching sides after you backstab me when I don't. Hope you forgive me. And have a great time in hell."

He pushed the body of Kane to the side. The lifeless body of Kane dropped on the bed. "Sleep well."

Predictor stood up and left the room, leaving the body behind.

"I really wish you hadn't done that to me. You can't blame me now. I helped you all. You saw my nice side. Now you saw my bad side. We're equal."

Predictor walked towards the helicopter, slowly finding his way.

He stood before the helicopter, sighing. "I promised myself I'll never leave this place. Who knew this day would come so soon..."

"Lucifer is still alive. That means my dream about him dying hasn't come true. He might come here as well. I can't even kill him if I tried."

"This is such a mess. I will die if I leave this place. And I will die if I stay here." Talking to himself, he circled around the helicopter slowly.

"If Lucifer lost all his memories, he would've had a hard time getting here, but he only lost a fraction of his memories. He still remembered the time he came here. He might come here again."

"But then again, he doesn't have his memories. He even refused to help the Uprising. So he might not come here either. Even if he comes, he won't attack me for no reason."

"It might actually be safer for me to stay here. However, there is one more person who needs to leave."

Predictor stepped inside the helicopter and walked up to the pilot. "Waiting for Kane?"
