"Get out of my house," I demanded confidently. "Now."
Casey chuckled, shooing her daughter away to who knows where, and stepping closer to me. I stood my ground, ignoring the fact that I was slightly shaking.
"What's your issue with me? I don't understand why-"
Her hand clamped over my mouth, she stepped closer and closer until the toes of her shoes were against my bare ones. She grabbed my shoulder, digging her long spiny fingers into my shoulder.
I let out a whale in pain, stumbling back into a wall.
"Dad!" Casey yelled.
I looked behind her as a man ran over...I knew him...
A piece of cloth was placed over my mouth seconds before I passed out.

My eyes opened to find myself on a cold sidewalk. I was in a pair of sweats and a loose fitted t-shirt...I got chills knowing that someone changed me while I was unconscious.
I peeled myself off the ground and go my feet. I looked around for something familiar, anything familiar, but what I saw was blank fields that seemed to have no end. I didn't see a house in the distance, nor a building, or even a bench.
"Help!" I yelled on the top of my lungs, running through one of the fields. With each step my bare feet hit the dewy grass, the mud slushed between my toes and felt gooey, but I kept running.
"Please help me!" I called out again, "Someone can hear me! Someone has to."
Honestly, I wasn't familiar with Australia, only the part around me.
Not random parts of land.
As I neared the end of the random field, I came upon water. It was a rough, Rocky river that seemed to end earth as it skimmed the other side. I didn't know what to do, or where to go?
"PLEASE HELP ME!" I yelled, tears coming to my eyes, quick to fall down my face.
I frantically looked around, suddenly I swore I could see a familiar figure, all airy and in the distance.
"M-mom?" I called out shakily, my voice cracking.
I ran towards where I had once seen her. She wasn't there over course, but I swear someone's hand was on my shoulder.
"Save him..." A voice whispered, "Ashton...save him. They need you."
I began crying harder, "I don't understand! How?! I don't know where I am."
