It all happened too quickly. Someone covered my nose and I fell unconscious.

*VISION*

Alexandria looks at me with pity in her eyes. She then puts out her hand in front of me and calls me to place my palm on hers. I placed it weakly. "Don't worry, I will help you. Be patient", she instructed me as I fell on the ground with a thud.

*SNAP*

My vision ends. Weird. No horror. For the first time till now that my vision didn't frighten me.

--------

I was woken up by someone pouring a bucket of very cold water over me. I shivered slightly as I slowly opened my eyes. The horrific scene in front of my eyes baffled me. "Finally, she's awake!", Xander exclaimed with an evil smirk on his face. With just a single snap of his fingers four men, clad in black suits, arrived. "You know what to do, right?", Xander asked the men. They gave him a curt nod. Then they started punching and beating me. I was very frightened at this point. God knows how many hours it lasted. Finally, they stopped. But, they hadn't finished yet. They started to cut my skin,yet they made sure that I survived. I shouted in pain as anger took control over me. Suddenly, I viewed cracks on the floor. They only worsened as I got angrier and angrier. Unexpectedly, the floor fell apart as it cracked up completely. It broke! People started running in different directions. There was a complete chaos in this wrecked up place! Then, someone unlocked the chains. "Run!!", the saviour shouted. I turned around and to my surprise it was Alexandria! "Go! Go! Go!!", she screamed. I started running towards the exit. The door was already open. I wonder how.... I then ran out never looking back until a black smoke followed me. The second I turned around it got inside of me.

*VISION*

"Wake up, Catherine!", Alexandria shouts. I woke up. I stared up at her as I whispered a 'thank you'. She just nodded. "You need to get ready for a war, Catherine.... Something really bad will happen.... You need to fight back.... Learn from Amanda", she said. I closed my eyes and I took a deep breath.

*SNAP*

My vision ends.

--------

I woke up as I found myself on a hospital bed. Annabelle was glaring daggers at me. My mother looked furious. My father looked unpleasant. And Tanya, looked very unpleased. "Where did you go today, Catherine!? We found out that you were admitted in a hospital. A young man told us that you had fainted in the middle of the streets....", Tanya said and suddenly, everything paused. "Tanya?", I asked softly. I then saw that headless person again. It rushed towards me as it gaged me. I fluttered my eyes open as I coughed. I gasped for air. I felt miserable. "Finally, it's about time! What!? Are you sleeping beauty to sleep so long?! Get up!", a woman shouted in rage. I looked up to see someone I quite already know....

Willow Allison.

Oh no.... Her name itself was enough to scare the death out of me. But, I masked my emotions. I bravely stood up and said, "I am not scared of you!". She looked at me by surprise and then, it changed back to her usual hard, cold gaze. "How dare you", she spat angrily as she pointed her wand towards me. Suddenly, the door swung open. It was Annabelle and Tanya with the Ministry of Outcasts (Olympia). "You are under arrest by the ministry! You are going down!", the police officer stated firmly. She was then cuffed and chained as she was dragged outside. "We'll take it from here, ma'am", a lady officer told me. "Nothing to fear from now on. We are taking her away to London", another officer informed me. I thanked them as I let out a sigh of relief.

--------

It's the start of the summer holidays; there's no news about Willow Allison. That had quite amused me. Grass had started growing on the sun kissed land. I felt a sense of solace after what had happened. It was a huge relief that I had no enemies to deal with. But it all changed this morning as I was reading the newspaper.

Willow Allison Escaped Again?

The prison cell is empty. Willow is missing! Rumours are spreading quite fast... It is believed that she's currently in Port Angeles. Search is still on. Just a teeny weeny reminder.... STAY SAFE!

My heart rate increased. Guess I gotta fight again the next year.

--------
The fight has just begun, my friend....
