ALICE POV

Some had put pounds of steel on top of my head forcing me down and on top of that I could not see a thing. Did I finally get my wish and side or is this just another one of my dreams where I imagined that they rescued me. This indulged darkness that surrounded me looked never ending especially as I was just floating around in it. It was kinda weird being weightless like that and having no support from the ground. One thing was for sure, this was so far much better than the nightmares that plagued my nights and I kinda wished that I could stay here instead of returning.

The total darkness was suddenly bathed in red and blue lights that shifted between the colours softly, almost like an echo. In the background I could faintly hear someone screaming but it didn't seem to worry me too much, in fact it seemed perfectly normal to me.

I finally stopped floating as the lights and the screaming disappeared. My feet found some surface on an invisible platform and I was grateful to finally being able to walk again. I walked around on it quietly in search of something but I came out empty handed, there was nothing. So instead I decided to lay down on the ground to get some rest as I still felt like pounds of steel.

Sleeping seemed to come natural here in the darkness. I've never been the one that liked complete darkness as it always had some kind of monster waiting out there, it was ready to tear away my life but apparently not here. No, there was no monster waiting in the darkness, here was only a safe haven, a security from all evil. I was safe here.

But no matter how much of a safe haven I considered this place, it would not provide me proper sleep. My body still felt heavy as before and nothing had changed, I was kinda just stuck in this seemingly permanent state of exhaustion. 

The place flashed a dim light once more and this time it was sterile white that filled the space. Deep irregular thumps rumbled the ground I stood on. Thump thump… thump.. thump… The dim light became a single light, luring me towards it. As I neared the light the thumping became louder. The light became a solid orb of light floating in space and as I walked towards it, I found it hovering over a hole in the ground, my curiosity got the best of me and walked over to it to check it out.

While I was looking down into the hole, I felt someone from behind push me into it. I only barely saw the shadow from the person walking away from the hole before I was too far down to actually see the top anymore. Looking around I saw the most peculiar thing. Floating around in the darkness around me was multiple things. A ticket to the Seventeen concert, a coffee mug with coffee spilled out of it frozen in time, a single handkerchief, my collar, the keys to a home and so much more. Things that had meaning in my life, so much I knew but I couldn't pinpoint exactly why they had meaning. It was almost like everything lost its meaning down here.

When I finally reached the bottom, I looked up to see the items once more but they had disappeared. The lost items left a hole in my heart, a hole I didn't know I had but you shouldn't dwell on in the past that would gain you nothing. Instead you should look forward and that's exactly what I did and what I found was truly peculiar. A single mirror standing alone in the darkness, the reflection of myself in the far distance staring back at me. It intrigued me so much that I subconsciously started to walk towards it.

The details of the golden frame are more prominent as I was now right in front of it. The mirror stood taller than me, though that was an easy thing to do and I bore no flaws. The reflection that mirrored me though was not a true reflection. Instead of my usually green eyes, they were now yellow and almost animalistic. My petite form was now housing a round belly, my hands touching it in a protective manner. I looked down upon myself and saw my usual flat stomach, no rounding, no....
