Miguel falls on his knees and starts questioning why he still doesn't know a thing about the girl. He looks at her and sees she not moving at all. He rushes to her, puts his hand on her chest, and sees she is still alive, but barely. "She'll be fine. She needs rest." Miguel turns his back and walks away from her.  As he walks he gets an uneasy feeling, looks back at the girl but sees nothing wrong. He walks to a dark corner and disappears within the darkness. Miles away from the girl's house Miguel walks out the shadow of a man under an umbrella. It was nighttime and with a clear sky. Miguel looks back at the man in confusion as to why he had an umbrella out. The man looked at Miguel but without a face, It was just pure blackness. Miguel had never seen this before. Miguel issues a command "kneel" The figure continues facing Miguel standing completely up straight. Miguel realizes that his command was not followed and was refused so easily. The figure lets the umbrella go, grabs Miguel by the neck, lifts him, and lets out the most painful-looking smile as his mouth tore open to let out the expression. Miguel found himself overpowered by someTHING he had never seen before. The figure starts to speak and with the most dehydrated voice it said "Time to sleep." A silver hook on a chain ascends and with great speed from the sky and pierces through Miguel's chest. It pulls him up and also with tremendous speed. Miguel is in the sky drained of almost all his energy when he hadn't even done much. He doesn't know who the man who almost killed him was, he doesn't know the girl he had saved, he doesn't know where the silver hook came from. So much had happened which left him confused and clueless. He wasn't used to those feelings. He's been floating in the sky for about thirty seconds completely unable to move with a hook through his chest. Suddenly the hook pulls him down with immense force and he ends up back at the girl's house. The hook going through Miguel's chest was connected to the girl's chest. Miguel was falling unconscious. For the first time, he was tired.
