I was laying down on something flat and cold, whiteness all around me, engulfing and hammering down onto me that I had to squint. I heard quiet clicking noises echo in a sequence that I couldn't understand, it slowly got louder and louder until I could hear it was right next to me.  Long ashen skeletal fingers slowly inched towards me and I tried to flinch away only to be stopped by straps that held my ankles and wrists down. It slowly looped its long nail underneath one of the sweaty black strands of hair that lay in a tangled mess under me. The clicking sounded randomly and I felt an overbearing energy of power beating down on me as my sense of hearing began to fade. All I could feel was myself hyperventilating as the sharp nail traced down my cheek to my neck and down my chest. It stopped at my heart and I could feel the fast and fervent rhythmic pounding it made beneath my ribcage. My vision began to spot with black and my head began to feel like it was being squished as an unbearable pain in my chest began, as if my heart were being squeezed.  My eyes shut and I felt my chest shake, tears beginning to stream down my cheeks uncontrollably.  The feeling suddenly stopped, leaving me with a cold chill down my spine as the table was moving until I was in an upright position. My eyes still closed I felt a thin liquid slowly slip onto my lips and instead of tasting salt I tasted iron. My eyes shot open and a mirror sat before me, blood ran down my glowing yellow eyes, dripping down my chin. I couldn't stop myself as I began crazily tugging and flailing myself, trying to somehow break these bonds.  Where was I? How did I get here? All of my confusion and fear was cut short when the table I sat on disappeared and I felt myself falling away from the whiteness into a bottomless hole. A pale figure looked down at me as I fell into the blackness, slowly waving its thin fingers at me.

When I opened my eyes I was greeted with a large black cat looking down at me, its big green eyes curious. I slowly sat up, the cat jumping away startled by my sudden movement or maybe just me. I felt confused and dazed, where was I? Who was i? I looked to my left at a black IPhone that sat on the windowsill. It read 6:00 a.m. School. Nothing looked familiar as I began to get out of bed and walk over to what I thought to be the closet. Opening the sliding doors I found a neatly folded pile of clothes on the small white dresser that consisted of under-garments, a grey sweater, and light blue jeans. My feet twisted me back around and I found myself in a bathroom. I hazily brushed my teeth and combed my messy raven mane. After twisting the sink back on, cold water slowly pooled in my cupped hands and I splashed it on my warm skin to try and wake myself up. I have to be at school by 6:40. Looking at the clock on my phone it read six-twenty. I quickly pulled on my clothes and went back to the room I awoke in, threw on a pair of black converse, and grabbed a plain black backpack that sat on a chair. I walked down the carpeted steps of the house and to a spacious kitchen with dark cabinets and white marble counters. I grabbed a banana and then stood there staring at the front door. Did I drive to school or a bus or my parents drive me to school? Where were my parents? Did I have parents? I walked down a hallway to a closed door and quietly opened it; two figures lay in bed, holding one another closely.

"Sweetie?" a women's voice said. I opened my mouth and closed it again.

"Yes" I said quickly, my voice sounding foreign.

"On your way to school?" she asked stirring slightly, "Come give me a hug". Slowly I moved closer to the bed as she sat up, she had a sweet tired smile on her lips. Her eyes were dark, her hair short and black like mine. I leaned down and gave her a hug and she wrapped her arms around me.

"Drive safely and have a good day at school". I only nodded in response and released our embrace before walking out the door and quietly shutting it. I went to the front door where a pair of keys sat that I didn't notice were there before. I walked out to a pair of cars, pressed the unlock button and watched as the lights of the yellow beetle flashed. I got in the car, started it, and began driving. Soon I showed up at a school that was already buzzing with life. I parked in what seemed to be the student parking lot and got out, locked my car, and began my walk to the school. Calculus is first. I began walking in the direction of the Media building when a girl with short blonde hair and big blue eye's suddenly jumped in front of me.
