I couldn't fall asleep. It was, what, 12:00 PM and I was still awake? All I could think about was the boy. I could have sworn it was Liu. Nothing that happened this today was normal. If I told my mom she wouldn't believe me, she'd think I'm insane. Maybe I am insane. Maybe, just maybe, I've gone mad. "Maybe I've gone mad." I whispered, and I repeated those words over and over again until I fell asleep.

I looked around. I was definitely in my Wonderland. No doubt this is Wonderland. It's just as mad as I left it. I was outside the house. It's warm. Wait, it's already October, how could it be this warm? I shook off my and walked into the house. No one was there, at least, I don't think anyone is here. "Hello?" I asked. There was no answer. "Is anyone-oh who am I kidding no ones here, but just to be safe... MARCO!" I waited for a reply, but there was silence. This house seemed familiar, but why? I was about to walk out as I heard a blood curdling scream. I whipped around and ran upstairs. As I ran I shouted, "You're supposed to say 'polo' you git!" I couldn't believe what I saw at the top of the staircase. Blood. Blood everywhere and so was the metallic scent that came with it. Blood on the walls, blood on the floor, blood had even managed to make its way onto the ceiling. Another scream pierced the air. I ran to help whoever was in the house. When I got there, I saw a man and a woman, murdered. I slowly backed away in horror. I thought I'd hit the wall, but I fell into another room. I quickly got up to see a boy, also murdered. My eyes widened,I knew this boy. "Liu?" I called out. the boy looked at me, fear in his eyes. I know those eyes. I ran over to him. "Liu, you're going to be okay." I said hoping I could save him. He tried to speak but no words were able to escape his mouth. I heard the floor creak. I slowly turned to see a boy with black hair and bleached white skin. He had a smile carved into his face and his eyelids were burnt off. His clothes were covered in blood. "Jeff?" I heard Liu say under his breath. "Why Jeff, why?" The man who Liu called Jeff walked towards us and raised his knife. "GO TO SLEEP!" He yelled as aimed for me. I was about to scream, but then a bright light flashed.
