Hendrick?
Hendrick leaned back against the familiar wooden chair, glanced out towards the seemingly endless realms of space. Stars and lights melted against black nothingness, interrupted by spots of vibrant colour. Light and darkness clashed with each other in the never-ending bounds, complimenting each other at the same time.
The view was quite stunning. He only wished it was real.
Shouldn't he be here by now? Did I screw something up?
A butterfly flew around close by, its bright wings in sharp contrast to its dark surroundings. But it was barely out of reach.
He was in the middle of their old school classroom, the chair he was sitting on the last one present. He had thrown out all the other ones in preparation to make enough space. The tall closets on the wall to his left were closed up and filled up to the brim. The wall in front of him was completely gone, revealing the outside scenery.
Only that the 'scenery' wasn't there anymore. There weren't any trees or buildings outside of the room, only void. Gravity seemed to be intact though, and breathing was possible as well.
It doesn't even act like it's real, he thought.
Then, the sound of the portal opening behind him as blue light flooded the room momentarily. He got off the chair, kicked it off the edge into space. It fell downwards. He turned around, was met with Jim holding his scissor in his direction.
"You took longer than expected," Hendrick said.
"..." Jim's expression carried all the words necessary.
He looked up and down at Jim. Shouldn't he have a cut somewhere near his right leg? Perhaps he really did something wrong? Well, it didn't matter anymore anyways. It was time to bring light to all of this, even if he had to readjust a little.
Hendrick moved his half-scissors forward fast, some leftover blood sprinkling over the wooden flooring. He held it in Jim's direction with a straightened right arm.
"It is time for you to find out what all of this was good for."
"Who are you?" Jim asked.
"I am going to need your help one more time."
Jim's expression tightened. "Who are you!"
Hendrick smiled.
And then he charged.

Anna
Pictures flashed through her head, a rapid following of scenes and moments from her past. She saw her friends, family, people. Then, something disturbed the peace.
A heartbeat.
It was quiet at first, soft and gentle.
The pictures disappeared.
Anna regained consciousness.
