I don't know how long I had been passed out. I found myself lying on the school infirmary bed. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open. My eyes scanned the surrounding and then laid on Annabelle and Emma. They were staring at me. Emma let out a sigh of relief, while Annabelle looked very upset and unpleasant. "Finally, you're awake! Where the hell were you!?", Annabelle shouted. She scolded me for a while and warned me to never run away again. Annabelle and her never ending lectures.... I ignored her and decided to take some rest.

I woke up after god knows how many hours. I sat up and rested my head on the hard head board. First time i ever fell asleep. After a few moments, my back started to ache, so I took a pillow and placed it on the head board and then I rested my head on it. It felt much much better. Suddenly, Nurse Amber rushed towards me. "Awake, at last! Are you feeling any better? It's 5 o'clock in the evening already....", she said looking at her watch. She then gave me a glass of glucose. It tasted horrible. "You may leave tomorrow, you still look quite weak", the nurse adviced me. I gave her a nod as she left the room. I then got busy in reading the newspaper. I really wanted to know more about Willow Allison.

I have been engrossed in reading this newspaper for hours, it's currently six p.m, and I haven't found anything yet. Frustrated, I closed the newspaper and placed it on the night stand. After like ten minutes, Nurse Amber brought me supper; a bowl of hot tomato and pepper soup, a can of baked beans and some vegetable stew. I hungrily ate it all up and gave my empty plate to the house keeper. I then, layed down on the bed again, recalling the incidents I had seen till now.
*VISION*
An eerie mansion. Blood slowly drips down from the cold hand of the lifeless body of a girl. Lungs completely exposed, eyes popping out, and heart shred into teeny tiny bits. The girl is hung on a tree. She's chained up and her eyes are wide open. I then looked down, only to find a picture of Willow Allison. I picked it up and looked up again only to find the dead girl in front of me, smiling. Not a pleasant smile, an evil one. She then chokes me and screams in front of my face. "No!!", I shout in horror.
*SNAP*
Vision ends.
I woke up gasping for air. I was genuinely terrified. I was thankful that nobody heard me. And I was glad that nobody else was in the infirmary. I then, got my body out of this uncomfortable, infirmary bed, took my backpack and rushed outside. I rushed to the school call centre as I dialed the driver's number. "Hello! This is Jim Antony, the driver of WICKED High! Who is this, and how may I help you?", the driver asked from the other end of the line. I was in such a hurry that I didn't even listen to him. "This is Catherine Night. Could you please drive me to the new cafè you took me the other day, the one next to the phone booth, near our school?", I inquired, politely. "Sure, meet me at the front gate", the driver said. That felt odd.... 'No his voice was odd, it was different', my brain contradicted. I shook my head as I assured myself that it was just my imagination. I dressed up and left my room quietly as I made my to the front gate. I opened the door and got in. The car had an ominous atmosphere. Unusually, the driver had covered his face with a black balaclavas. When I asked him why, he replied that he had caught a cold. 'Strange', I thought to myself. We drove for a while as we reached the cafè. "You may drop me here", I said. He didn't respond, he continued to drive. "Stop!!", I shouted. But he didn't stop. "Shut up! Stupid girl!", the driver shouted. "Where's Mr.Antony?", I sobbed. "Six feet below", was the only response I got. Wait! What!? Mr.Antony was dead!? How!? I suddenly got the ability to read his mind. 'You are done Catherine', he thought to himself. But then, something sent chills to the core. Some familiar name did....
