The Beggining of the End

Chapter 2 ~ The Trip Home

My eyes fluttered open, blury, I saw feet running up to me and voices. I was picked up and my head dangled back in their arms. A pain struck through my neck. I had no strength to sit up and see who it was. I heard familiar voices. It was Krissy and Manny.

They had found me lying on the floor of the woods. I felt a jolt and i was lifted into the back of a ute. They had called my parents when they couldn't find me and now they are here. It was like i was in a coma. I could see and hear what was going on around me but i had no strength to react. The ringing and voices were still in my head.

They placed a blanket on the floor and they laid me down. Manny and Krissy jumped in the back with me to hold me in place. Krissy had a wet washer in her hand, patting it on my forehead slowly and whispering my name for me to wake up. The washer was refreshing and and made the burning pain feel like it was lifted through my eyes.

As the ute started to move, my eyes searched up. I was now looking at the tree tops and the sky moving across like a conveyer belt. Although as the ute started speeding up and many and krissy started calling my name more constantly, a dark black dust formed in the sky. Am i the only one who can see this? I thought to myself.

The dust cloud formed an almost story book like scene. A little girl playing in the meadow. Then it changed. Now it was an older girl going to school for the first time. It changed again. It was me. At school screaming in pain from the bell. The dust cloud was mimicking my life. As the story changed from me at school to a scene where i was glowing but lying on the floor in a seemingly dead form i started panting. Hyperventilating. "Going into shock" I heard krissy say once.

I struck up. Sitting up right with a thud. Now wide eyed. I had no control of what my body was doing. I just sat there as though i had just seen a ghost. Then everything came into focus. The voices started coming closer instead of sounding like an echo from far away. The ground started looking closer and the sky was once again blue.

I layed back down as though sitting up once had taken all my strenght. Krissy started patting my head with the cloth and speaking to me but everything still sounded kind of foggy. By now the voices and the screeching noise was gone. I cant really explain what had just happened but as soon as we got home all i did was lump into my bed an fall asleep.

That night i had terrible dreams about evil withces and fights between families. Seriously. What the hell is going on in my stuffed up head.

I woke to the peircing light and was not in the mood to face the next day. I got out of bed, put my ugg boots on and walked out to the kitchen. I made my toast and sat at the bench until it was ready. Once it was done i layed on a good kilo of nutella and sat on the couch. I rested my eyes leaning back into the extremely comfy lounge. This day may turn out just fine. I thought to myself. To make it even better it was the weekend. OMG!!! Ithought to myself. It was Wednesday when the random occurance of events had happened. Did i actually sleep through 2 days.

I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs. It was my mum. She ran towards me and hugged me like she hadnt seen me for years."Honey, are you okay." she frantically asked."I wasn't sure if you were going to wake up." she yelped.

"The doctor said he tried everything, that your body wouldn't wake up because it was like it was in it's own little coma preparing itself for something." She explained.

"Well im alright now mum." I said weirded out by her over the topness. "You don't need to worry."

"Im just glad your ok, Honey." She said.

Later that day krissy droped by to give me something. "Manny and I found it while walking to school on thursday," She explained. "We think it might be the necklace your grandmother gave you."

"That can't be posiible i wasn't wear-"

Krissy pulled out a neckace that was gold and had a floral like pendant on it. Instead of a chain my grandmother threaded it on a strip of leather she had tailored to fit me.

I stopped. All i could think of was how it came to be in the woods. I was sure i wasn't wearing it on Wednesday. I keep it in the box my grandmother gave me with the necklace and the only time i wear it is when we visit her grave.

Krissy stared up at me knowingly. She knew about this. Krissy and i ran up to my room to find out what was going on.
