Heaviflo (idk where he got this name from, it sounds like heavy flow lol) was one of those kids who never knew exactly what she knew exactly, what she knew, how she knew it, or why she even knew it. It seemed that the more she searched for the truthful answers. the more doubtful questions she had. All became foggier and she would not let go. Until one day, everything changed. Everything...forever...

Henry wakes up on the sound of the bell. It's dismissal time. "Ah, I fell asleep again," he mumbled to himself, wiping the drool on his face and wiping the desk clean quickly so nobody would notice. He laughed to himself. Nobody notices him anyway, as if he was invicible - being part of the class, the school, but not belonging.
Henry packs his books and notebook in his bag that he did not even used. As he stood up, facing the window, he saw a girl. The girl looked exactly as the girl in his dreams. The very same dream he gets whenever he falls asleep, with the very same girl, and the very same words being narrated.
He felt a sense of deja vu. He knew this girl but he was pretty sure he has never met her before. How can he recognize her? As Henry blinked again, the girl by the window disappeared, as if she had not been there at all. "Did I really see her?" he asked himself. Now, he's just looking at the field of the school, with the leaves falling on the ground. "Yup, that is fall," Henry agreed to himself, when suddenly, everything seemed to go on very slowly. he watched the leaves fall gracefully an-
"Mr. Morgan? Are you alright?" Mrs. Powell interrupted him. Interrupted from what? he thought to himself.
"Um, yes, Mrs. Powell. I was just thinking about, uh, the lesson today."
"Good. Alright, off you go. We would not want you getting locked in," said Mrs. Powell. Henry nods and quickly scurries away. What was he looking at again? It seems like he forgot what happened since he woke up. Or did something actually happen? "Probably not. I'm probably still sleepy," he convinced himself.
As he walks out of the classrom. he felt that prickling feeling he sometimes feel on the back of his head. A feeling that something, or someone, is watching him. Henry looks back but no one is there. "I'm getting paranoid for no reason." He shakes his head and continued walking.
He watches the other students as he passes by them. They seem distant to him. Standing there in the hallway, talking and chatting, getting ready to go. He never felt attached to any person in this school, nor this school itself. Maybe it is the other way around? That he is the distant one, as if he was put somewhere, perhaps a prison, to keep him there. No, that is impossible, he thought to himself. I'm just exaggerating my despise of this place.
He shook the thought out of his mind. He has to go to his locker and then go home. With the thought of his locker, suddenly, he was in front of it. "Wait, wh-" a boy interrupted him. A classmate? "Henry, what's up? You've been standing there for the longest time."
"Oh, West," he remembered. "I was just..." he paused. "How did I get in here?"
"What are you talking about? Still sleepy?" West mocks him. "You walked out of class, you walked through the hallway all the way here to get your stuff from your locker. Remember?" West reminded him.
"Ah, that's right, I think. Then, I was standing here thinking about what I should get from my locker. Right?" he said, doubtful. He does not seem to remember, only vaguely.
"Right," West resplied as he closes his locker. "Anyway, see ya." And he is gone.
Henry opens his locker and gets his Functions textbook. He has always been good at Mathematics. Science, too. He likes subjects with objective facts and results. Maybe that is why he is bad at the rest of the courses?
As he closes his locker, he thinks about how much the just want to get home. As he takes his first step forward, his foot lands on his bedroom floor. "What?" he looks frantically around, confused.
"Henry, honey?"
"Mom?" he asked.
"Yeah, honey?" His mother asked, concerned. She looks at Henry up and down. "Honey, I told you to go downstairs. We're having early dinner. Your father has to leave early. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. Right." With that, Henry's mom leaves him to himself.
He remembers. He went outside the school, took the bus home, and arrived home. His mom told him to go downstairs immidiately after he puts his school stuff in his room because his father has a meeting. He remembers, but it's as if he was not there when all of these happened. But what's there to doubt? A voice asked him. Or just his own mental voice.
He is still confused, when his mom called him again from downstairs. "Henry?"
"Yeah, mom! Coming," he yells back.
Henry puts his pack and sweater down. He was about to leave his room when a voice stopped him.
"You sure you want to do that?"
"What the?" Henry quickly looks back. "I-it's you!" he panicked. Am I dreaming again?
"No, you're not. Well, kind of."
The girl looked at him seriously, almost with pity. "Soon enough, you'll understand."
Henry, slowly getting himself together said, "What are you talking about? Who are you? And if I'm not dreaming, then who are yo-" she stops him. "Stop, stop. Just slow down." Henry stops, her voice almost calming him down. "I'll explain later, but you have to come with me. Now."
"Why?" Me, leaving my family? No way.
"You're gonna have to if you want to get out of this prison." This stops Henry. "Alright. How about this. Have you ever felt like you do not belong? As if you are suppposed to be somewhere else?" she asked. Henry is speechless because that is exactly how he feels. All the time. "I assume that's a yes. Do you wanna know the truth? Do yo want to get out of here?"
"Y-yes, I think." The girl raises her eyebrow. "Uhm, yes. Yes, for sure."
"Good. Come, we've already wasted some time. Come closer, take my hand," she orders him.
"Why?" She glares at him. "Yeah. Yeah, okay."
Henry steps closer and looks at her hand being offered to him. Her hand does not feel so solid. Confused, he looked up. "What are you?"
The girl grins. "Oh, this?" she raises her hand up. "Well, to answer that. I'm the same as you. I'm just not totally here. Here, take it." Henry, skeptic about this whole thing, takes her hand.
"We're jumping out the window," she informs him. "What?! Wait, stop!"
"Too late." WIth that, she pulls him forward the window with her. Henry holds his breath, waiting for his death.
When he thought he was about to hit the ground and break his skull, he felt water smash into his body instead. The water swallows his whole body. Henry covers his mouth with his hands. The girl was nowhere to be found. He quickly turns himself around, looking for something to grab and pull himself up with. It seems like he forgot how to swim. He is slowly sinking. He is running out of oxygen. He tries calling out for help but his cries were swallowed up by the water. This is it. And everything goes blank.
~~~
Henry wakes up with a voice yelling at his face. Is it my mom? I thought it was the weekends? He opens his eyes. "Okay, Mom! Stop yelling!."
"You goddamned fool! I'm not your mom. I helped you escape that world, remember?"
"What?" Henry sits up and sees the girl. "Ah, right. Right."
":Come on. We have to get going." She looks around in panic. "Actually, we have to run. Like, now."
Both still wet and with Henry confused, they started running. Henry follows the girl while looking around. "This is amazing. What kind of technology is this?" he asked, mesmerized.
"Hell. It's hell. They put you in this hellhole without you knowing it's actually hell. Come on, just keep running." she orders him.
Henry looks back and sees the room they were just in. It looks like a laboratory. With a huge cylindrical glass aquarium that could fit a person in it. "Was I just in that huge cylindrical glass?" he asks her.
"Yes. You've been there since you were born, or made. I'm not sure. All I know is that I knew that you needed saving. Just, stop asking questions and keep running or they'll put us both back in those."
"Fine." Henry and the girl kept on running, turning from one hallway to another, passing by more rooms with the same cylindrical glass aquariums, only now, there are in people in it. This place looks like a very advanced hospital, well lit and neat.
When they finally stopped, they went inside an elevator. "Wait, isn't this dangerous? They might detect us and stop this elevator, trapping us inside." Henry asks, worried. But still, the girl went in. "it's the only way up. Come on." Henry gets in the elevator. Up?
"Treasure this elevator ride, it's the only rest we'll get until we arrive to our destination." She suggests.
"Uh, okay." Henry replies, not knowing what else to say.
After what felt like years of elevator ride, they finally stop with a 'ding'. "Ready? When I say run, run." She orders him. The elevator doors slowly opens.
"What, right no-" he starts. "Run!" She starts running while Henry follows moments later. "Wha- Yeah, alright. Fine!"
The moment they stepped out of the elevator, alarms went off. "Whatever you do, do not stop!" She yells. "I won't!" Henry yells back.
As they ran through what seemed like a lobby, people started looking at them with panic in their eyes. Not knowing what to do, they just stood there in shock. Henry and the girl kept on running towards the exit.
"We're almost out!" the Henry shouted. "Yes, I can see that!" She yelled.
Henry heard men yelling from behind them. He looks back and sees men in uniform in pursuit of them. "Don't stop! Henry!" She yells at him again. "Are you crazy? Like I would!"
When they passed through the sliding doors, the girls stops. "What, why are we stopping?"
"Just give me a sec," she says while fundling through her camo pants pockets. Henry watches the guards closes their distance from them. "Uhm-"
"I got it!" She yells out loud. "Is that a-" Henry started.
The girl throws the object she was looking for and it attaches itself onto the glass door. "Run!" she yells again.
They continued on running once again. When they were in a safe distance, Henry heard a loud explosion, stopped and looked back. All of the front side of the building disappeared. He whistles in approval.
"Pretty cool, eh?" Her eyes were full of pride. They started running again. "By the way, I'm Fl-"
"Heaviflo?" Henry confirms. "No! Flo. It's frigging Flo!" She glares at him with tiger eyes.
"Okay, okay. I got it." Pretty sure it's Heaviflo, though.
They kept running until the building was not in sight anymore.
"I can see the helicopter now. We're almost there." The helicopter's blades started spinning, as if sensing their presence. It started lifting off.
"Hey, wait! Flo, it's leaving us!" Henry shouts over the sound of the blades.
"Don't worry!" As if she knew what was about to happen, the rope ladder from the helicopter lowered.
"Come on!" She urges him. Henry was about to follow her lead, when he knew he had to go first. He outruns her.
"Hey, Henry, what the fcuk!?" she yelled.
He kept running until he reached the ladder and held onto it. He grabbed Flo by her waist and they started lifting off.
"Well, that was unexpected." She says, impressed. "A thank you would have been better." Henry smirks.
"You should be thanking me. You're safe now." She smiles at him.
Henry smiles back at Flo and she felt hot in her cheeks.
~~~
Flo bolted right up from her sleep. It's still early in the morning but most of her team are already awake. Flo gets off her bed and started preparing herself to go to the surface.
"Hey, Flo. Where are you going? You just woke up," Carl, one of her squad members, asked her with a questioning look in his face. "Is this one of your 'i know something but i actually dont' thing going on again?"
"Whatever, Carl. I just know I have to do it. I'm not sure how, but I know I'm gonna do it, with or without your help. You can't stop me, Carl. I have to save him. I know I do and I know I will. I'm just not sure exactly how."
Flo stares at Carl, challenging him. "Alright, alright. At least I can repay you from saving me, too. I'll just get the grenades I made, just in case, and we'll get going. I'll meet you by the terminal."
"Got it." And with that, Flo started running again.
