Into the Abyss

Chapter 2

----////Hey guys! This is the main story now haha!

Estelle's Pov:

I opened my eyes. The smell of sea filled my nose? Sea? I looked around. I was surrounded by sand. I craned my neck. White water rolled close to me. Sitting up, I gasped. The water was white. Where was I? The sand seemed to glow..I scooped a handful up...it was warm. I stood, my legs wobbling.

How long had I been there? Last I remember....wait. I can't remember anything. I searched my mind for Ny info. Nothing. I began to panic. I'm in this weird place, I can't remember who I am and how I got here. I could remember basic things of course, luckily. I felt my pockets for anything useful. I pulled out a small rectangular object. Oh. A cellphone. Probably mine. Clicking a button, the screen turned on. Two girls one with red hair and one with blonde covered the background, smiling.

"Hm..." I sighed looking through the phone. The most recent message was from the sender, Carra.

"Estelle you won't believe what I just found out!!" The text read, "My mom bought tickets for Hawaii for me, her, and my bro this week!"

Well I guess my name is Estelle. I tried searching through the phone for anymore info, but with no signal, there was no chance. I looked around for anything helpful in sight. A large ocean of rippling white waves were infront of me. I turned around. Forest. Lots and lots of forest. My only choice was to move forward. I couldn't just stay forever.

For the first time, I looked up to the sky. It was pitch black. I gasped. It wasn't night time, it was pitch black. I felt my eyes water. Tears silently trickled down my face. "Where am I?" I said to myself. .

After walking for what seemed like hours, I stopped at a sign.

It read "This way." I had walked past this sign atleast 3 times. I had passed the same mutated tree with a hole the size of a car. Tons of thoughts ran through my mind, like how I was going to get back home. "Where do I go?!?!" I cried out, frustrated. I felt like giving up. Pondering whether to sit down and give up or just keep walking, I decided at this point there was nothing else I could do but keep trying. Sitting would get me nowhere and I would eventually starve or die of thirst. The thick forest was tough to walk in, besides the fact my feet probably had blisters forming. Crunch. I whipped my head around only to find my eyes locked with a cold yellow stare.

"H-hello?" I called out to the eyes, fear in my voice. The eyes disappeared. I didn't want to stay here any longer. It was already scary enough to be alone in a strange place. My heart raced and I started to run in fear, only to trip on a branch in my pathway, landing on my face."Oomph". I felt a little bit of blood trickle down my eyebrow. I slightly touched my face. Warm red liquid covered my fingers. Before I could recollect myself from falling, I was pulled up. A muscular build was wrapped around me in an uncomfortable hold. A cold hard metal met with my neck, close to piercing it.

"Don't move." A husky voice said.

Carra's Pov:

Seeing her mother like that made my heart break just a little bit more than me finding out my bestfriend was in the hospital. "Hello Mrs. Brewilton, how are you?" I squeaked. She looked away then pulled me to a seat and sat me down, holding my hands. Another set of curtains surrounded Estelle, on a seperate stand. I looked back at Mrs. B. "Earlier today, when Estelle was driving home from tutoring..." She paused as if to look at my reaction so far. I was blank. "...and she wasn't paying attention to the road. She swerved into the wrong lane and collided with an upcoming car." A tear rolled down her cheek. I was frozen. Was she alive?

"What's her condition?" I said weakly.

"We haven't been told yet. The results are not back yet." She replied sadly. I sighed, who knew how long it would take.

After two hours of worrying and over -analyzing, a man in a white lab coat cane in with a clipboard. "The results have come in," he sighed. "Estelle is suffering an anoxic brain injury. In simpler terms, her brain is injured, therefore causing her to be in an unconscious state, or as you would know it better..." He paused. "A coma.".

Her mother burst into years while her father put a protective arm around her, sniffling himself.

I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
