Tami's House

There was a party at Tami's. A real party where people get drunk and have fights and stuff. Me fight? Ha. I'd rather be better off fighting a bunch of infected bunnies. So what was I doing? Sleeping. Yeah, I'm lazy. I was out for a long time, until I heard this crash. I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw this guy on the floor, probably knocked out or something, I don't know. There was another guy, but he was standing up. The dude looked pretty scary in my opinion. He was wearing a black Death Wish hoodie with long camo pants, and had purple, menancing eyes. For a long time, he didn't move. Then, he straighted his flat hat, and looked around. When he saw me, I swear his eyes turned red for a second. He motioned me to come to him, so I slowly got up and went to him.

"You're Callie?" he asked me.

"Yeah..?" My voice faltered.

"If you are, then duck right now," he said. Without hesitation, I ducked. As soon as I did, a glass bowl was hurled to my direction. It whizzed right past my head at an incredible speed. The dude grabbed the bowl with one hand and then crushed it with ease. He just kept on staring at me. It was creeping me out, so I took a step back. He took a step forward, and pulled a knife out. The knife was pure black, with a skull decal on the top.

"Uh, what are you doing?" I asked. He hesitated.

"Bringing you back," he said quietly.

"Wha-"

Then with skilled speed, the guy stabbed me in the stomach, while covering me with his extended arms from the crowd. My eyes just stared into space. The color in my vision drained out, and I fell back. A few seconds later, I saw a girl with the same knife, coming to my direction. I choked out blood.

"Please don't stab me," I rasped. My eyes slowly fluttered shut. I'm going to die like this. Living a miserable life, and not knowing why I'm dying. I tried to open my eyes, but it was quite the challenge. I heard lots of echoing voices.

"Open the portal," I heard. "Freeze the damn time," I heard. A bunch of nonsense. This fast. This random. I came to a party to have fun, but I ended up dying in less than an hour. The funniest thing is that no one seemed to notice me.

"Alright Takabane, I froze time, now open the portal so we can bring this girl to the temple," I heard. My eyes slowly drifted to the right, where I saw the girl inside a red circle. The circle looked like a clock, the hands moving really fast.

"The portal is set, now throw her in," Takabane said. The girl stepped out of the circle, and the guy threw me in it.. I litterally just melted through the floor. All I saw was darkness. For minutes, I was floating in darkness, until I slowly landed in a hall. The hall was floating on nothing, and the hall was quite ancient. Pieces of it fell every second, and was rebuilt every other second. Then I laughed quietly. This is a dream. It has to be a dream. This is the most randomest thing in world, and also, this isn't even possible. Then, I saw the girl and the boy.

"Callie, have you healed," the boy asked. I blinked.

"Uh, yeah," I said. Surprisingly, my stomach has healed.

"What's going on," I asked.

"You are in the Gate of Time," the girl answered, " and after a short walk, we will be in the Temple of Time."

"This makes absolutely no sense at all. And why'd you stab me? And why am I-"

"We'll talk about that later, but for now, come with us," the boy said.

"Do you really think I'll come with you two lunatics after you stabbed me? And also I don't even know where I am," I said.

"Exactly," the boy said, "you don't know where you are, so you better follow us, or you will litterally be waiting for an eternity." There was a long pause.

"Fine," I said, "but if this is all real stuff, can I have my skateboard? That thing cost me a lot." The boy stuck his hand in darkness. He pulled out my black and graffited skateboard.

"You mean this?" he asked. I snatched it out of his hand.

"Yes. Now let's go," I said. "I don't want to stay here in this creepy dark place."

"Let's just go," the girl said. We all then walked down the hall, as though we were good ol' friends, and that this is perfectly normal.
