It was freezing , quiet , misty and dark. I couldn't tell if I was able to see or not because everything was dark. "Hello?" my voice echoed throughout the dark. "Hey!" Another voice echoed back. I stayed silent knowing there was someone else in this place. "Hello?! Who are you!?" the voice repeated again. I kept quiet. "Hey!?" "Hello!?"

||Authors POV||
"Hello!?" Mr Williams stated boldly as he slammed his hands down on the desk. Dylan shot up and stared at him with wide eyes. "Mr Whitlock? Mind telling the class the answer to question eighteen?" He asked , tilting his head. "I don't know the answer sir." Dylan stated moving his eyes to his hands which started to fidget nervously, picturing a boy's face but couldn't make out the facial features. . "Next time , make sure your awake for my damn class." He spoke sternly while heading back to the front of the class. Dylan felt the hairs at the back of his neck stand up. He turned around slowly to see a few boys looking at him. He quickly turned back around to look at the clock above the chalkboard and as soon as he did the bell rang. Dylan shot up , picked up his stuff and ran out the class. He ran as fast as he could this time , making sure he got away but he then heard the other footsteps of a few people running. He managed to get to the field, the worst spot on campus. He felt someone grab the back of his collar , pulling him backwards on to the grass. "Trying to run again maggot?" A boy stated kicking Dylan in the stomach. "Go away Asher. You and your dumbass friends seem to be getting uglier everyday, I can't even handle the sight of you." Dylan stated , wrapping his arms around his stomach. "Oh so your pulling out your dumb insults too? Huh. Seems like your really up for a beating." Asher stated as he kicked him in the back. His friends then started to kick him around like a soccer ball, leaving Dylan covered in dirt and blood.

"Fuck." Dylan stated angrily, looking at the blue sky , fading into a light yellow. He managed to get up and grab his bag before falling to the ground once more with a throbbing pain moving through his entire body. He ignored it and pulled himself back up. He walked out of the school gates and headed down the street to his hell house. He unlocked the door with the extra key around his neck and entered the house. "What took you so long!?" Dylans mother screeched as she walked quickly towards him , grabbing his ear and pulling him inside. "Ow! Mom stop I was at an extra class!" Dylan cried out as the tugging on his ear ripped it a bit. She let go ,and started to stare at him. "Asher and his friends again?" She asked moving back into the kitchen. "Yes. I couldn't out run them." He stated honestly while throwing his bag to the side. "Im sorry , I didn't mean to come at you like that." She quickly stated , realizing the situation. "Its fine." Dylan stated awkwardly before walking upstairs. He entered his room and collapsed on his bed letting himself sink into the soft bed covers. He felt his body throb once again , feeling the pain flow through his limbs and stomach. He managed to lift himself up again and headed to the bathroom in his room. He turned on the shower and unbuttoned his shirt covered in dirt and dried blood. He threw it to the side as he undressed himself feeling awkward still from the earlier events in class. He made his way in to the shower , letting the warm water rinse his cuts and bruises. He liked the water running through the roots of his black hair , making him feel clean and pure. He rubbed the cuts on his arms as they burned furiously. He grunted feeling the stinging pain on the larger cuts. He washed himself after the cuts stopped stinging and slowly stepped out the shower , grabbing a towel from the towel rack. He wiped the steam off his mirror and stared at himself. He had the strong feeling of wanting to punch the mirror. He had a new bruise on his left cheek and a new cut on his chin. He hated himself when he looked like this , he only ever admired his emerald eyes.

He changed into a oversized t-shirt , and hopped into bed feeling clean and light. He stayed still as he dozed off into his strange mind.

He woke up in the dark room again feeling the strange feeling he felt while sleeping in class. "Hello?" Dylan called out into the dark. "Hey! Your back! Follow my voice! I must find you!" The voice echoed out from the darkness. "Who are you!?" Dylan asked letting his voice echo. "Call me A." A voice stated from behind Dylan making him turn around. A boy with blonde curly hair in a braid stood before him being a few inches taller than him. Dylan looked at him trying to recognize the boy. "A? Thats a dumb name." Dylan answered looking at him. "Well would you like to know my real name , weirdo?" A asked leaning closer towards Dylans face. Heat rose to his cheeks. "Well , if you want to tell me your name you could , I wouldn't care." Dylan stated taking a step back from the blonde. "Its Adam." The boy stated. "Well where are we Adam?" Dylan asked looking at the blonde. "Well , I call it The Void." Adam stated tilting his head up. "This is a dream. I know it is." Dylan spoke as he looked at him.

"Well if it was a dream would I be able to touch you?" Adam asked just as he grabbed Dylans arm and pulled him closer. Dylan looked at the blonde as he was inches away from his face. He pulled himself back. "Ok you proved your point." He quickly stated as Adam chuckled seeing his glowing red face. "How long have you been here for?" Dylan asked changing the topic. "I don't know , I've lost count , maybe one or two years?" Adam stated trying to think. "Years!? So have you been alone?" He asked. "Yeah. But then I heard you enter The Void earlier and I followed your sound although you disappeared earlier , but you came back!" Adam said excitedly. "Huh? But Im sure I just fell asleep minutes ago." Dylan spoke feeling strange. "Oh well then that must be how you entered The Void! Whenever you sleep you enter it!" Adam spoke feeling excited. Dylan felt a little bit skeptical of trusting Adam but he ignored the feeling , only because he found Adam to look like a typical hot boy who most girls dream about , but Dylan was gay and he found Adam very attractive.

"So whats your name then?" Adam asked. "Dylan." He spoke shyly looking at his hands. "Mmh? Your a little red there friend. You alright?" The blonde asked suspiciously. "Yes. Its just cold in here." Dylan answered immediately feeling his stomach turn. Adam ignored him and looked around as if he was nervous. He then wandered off back into the darkness making Dylan confused. Dylan then shot up from his bed feeling a shiver go down his spine. "Was that a dream or?" Dylan questioned himself out loud. "Nope. As I said I wouldn't of been a dream if I touched you. And I did." Adams voice echoed through out Dylans head. He then sat in silence remembering the entire situation that just occurred...
