Will slowly opens his eyes, but all he sees is the darkness. His body is submerged in a pool of water, face down. With the aid of his knees and arms, he raises his body from the lying down posture. Will looks around the room when he is finally able to sit up. All of his surroundings, with the exception of one thing, are completely dark. He can see his body clearly, as if it were under a spotlight or something similar. And with all of that knowledge, he is now certain of his location.

The Void.

He accomplished it. To get to the void. But how Will thinks. Will tries to recall what occurred just before he arrived.

Blood

Broken bones

Broken glass

Tears

Screaming

The cat

As the scenes flash before Will's eyes, he holds his breath. His heartbeat quickens. He feels a familiar cold shiver running down his spine.

'Sensitive'

Will hears someone whisper something and looks up. Will finds the voice odd and unfamiliar, yet familiar. Like an old friend he hasn't spoken to in a long time. The odd feeling in the back of his neck intensifies.

'Sensitive'

Will looks around swiftly in search of the voice. 'Hello? Who..who's there?'

No response.

Will tries once more. 'Hello? Who are you! Show yourself!' Will yells as he anxiously scans the area for any signs that the men who are speaking may be nearby. It's like the voice is everywhere. Behind him next to him, from above even like he is below Will.

'Sensitive, too sensitive.'

'What?' Will says.

'You're sensitive, just like me.' Says the voice.

'Show yourself!' Will yells with fear. He has no idea what to do, what this odd man wants from him, or where this mysterious man is in the first place. He then feels a tap on his right shoulder.

'Behind you William,'

Will quickly jerks back in shock as he turns around. Before him is a man, fully dressed in white.

'Or should I say little brother?' The man says with a false smile on his face.

Right now, Will is in utter fear. 'What..what do you mean by that..Who are you?' Will inquires anxiously as he carefully moves away from the stranger.

"You already know the answers to that question,"

Will doesn't like this, he doesn't like this at all. He needs to leave immediately. He suddenly turns around and runs away from the man. He runs until he feels an invisible force pull him back. It tugs on him stopping his body from moving.

'It's not your time to leave yet.'

Will hears footsteps coming up behind him and closes his eyes while inhaling deeply. He senses the invisible force twisting him around to face the figure now in front of him as the footsteps become closer.

'Look at me, William.'

Will shakes his head, refusing to look.

Then, he feels a solid, icy hand grab his chin.

'I said look at me, William!'

Will opens his eyes slowly. His breaths are rapid as he stares into the man's piercing blue eyes.
