Marina's POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP! The familiar sound of my buzzer busted my eardrums. I stretched my arms out and yawned loudly. I glanced up to see the time was 5:30. Time for school!

There was something in the back of my mind that was nagging me. Almost as if there was something important I needed to remember. I bet it's my math test that I
I have today. Yes, that's it.

I slipped a black and white floral shirt on, but just as I released the shirt, there was a sharp pain in my head. Someone was stabbing me over and over right in my temple.

I bent over and clutched my head. Screams escaped my open mouth.

Then I saw things. There was an odd group of teenagers sitting around a minivan in the middle of nowhere. And they were laughing hysterically. I recognized myself as one of them, which was odd because i didn't remember any of this.

"I'm pansexual." A short girl with long hair and piercing eyes said proudly and began kissing a blonde girl with all black clothes next to her. Why did they look familiar?

"No, Marina. Don't remember. I put up a wall in your mind and I gave you back your normal life. Don't scratch the wall or all of hell will fall upon you. Forget all of this. Forget the vampire, the werewolf, the traitor, the ex, the lover and the londoner. They never really cared for you." An older woman with sharp cheekbones and purple eyes said.

I opened my eyes and found myself on the floor. I took a couple of deep breathes and told myself I was imagining things. I shuffled on some jeans and glanced in the mirror. I muffled a scream as I saw my normal green eyes had turned purple.

Then, I closed my new eyes and counted to three. When I opened them, I found the same bright green that I was used to.

"Have I been doing drugs?" I wondered out loud. I grabbed my black booking and ran downstairs.

"Hey, Rina. I made you breakfast." My father said as I got downstairs. I found him scrabbling some eggs. He gave me a big goofy smile.

"Rina! Do you see the time? Don't be late!" My mother said. She always worries about me. I glanced at the clock to see it was about time for my neighbor and best friend to pick me up for school. Her name is Emma and I've known her since we were three.

But I got that weird feeling again. Something told me that this wasn't my real life. I didn't have two loving parents or a best friend named Emma. I had Loquatious and an absentee father and Cal- no. Don't remember them. The purple-eyed woman specifically told me not to scratch at the wall.

"This is my life. This is my life." I began repeating and repeating until I got to the door of an old Volkswagen beetle that I assumed was Emma's.

I opened the door to find a pretty blonde teenager jamming out to weird indie music. I huffed and sat in the passenger seat.

"Hey, Marina! Did anything new happen with James?" James? Who? Don't scratch, Marina, pretend you remember.

"No, but I have a feeling something will happen." Emma began talking about her boy troubles and I added my feedback. I actually felt like I could start to like this girl. But my head said something different. My temples began throbbing and there was a high pitched squeaking noise that blinded everything. Soon, the world became black.

"Her heart rate's dropping quickly. Novak, give her CPR quickly." I heard a faint female voice yell.

"Yes Ma'am." Then, there were lips on mine. There was air in my lungs.

I gasped and my eyes fluttered open. I found deep hazel eyes. Familiar deep hazel eyes.

"Good job, Novak. But the respiratory machine on her." The female voice said. I looked to find the female voice and found a young woman with a pixie cut. Again, the feeling of familiarity surged over me.

"Ma'am! Ma'am!" A nurse in blue shrubs was calling to me. She had coffee-colored skin and thick lips.

"Yes?" I knew her. I knew everyone in the room, including the dark haired janitor in the corner who looked too young to be a janitor.

"What do you remember?" the nurse asked me. Everyone in the room looked up suspensefully at me.

"I remember everything, Tessa." I answered. The werewolf breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marina's back, guys." Toby said happily. I smiled, but I couldn't help but remember about what the purple eyed woman said about how they don't care for me.

"You've been gone for a week. Somehow, we all managed to return to this world and Luna isn't evil anymore!" Everest said. And everyone smiled, even Calum in his janitor outfit.

"Are you sure it was that easy?" I asked, suspicious.

"Of course, silly. Don't you trust us?" Luna asked. I knew for a fact that Luna didn't use the word silly nor did she return to the good side yet.

"I'm afraid I don't." I said truthfully.

All of my friends began doing the last thing just expected. They all stood in one clump and then began melting together. They looked like that one scene in Percy Jackson The Horrible Movie when the janitors became the Hydra. My friends unified.

"You've passed my test." It was Lacy. She looked different, tired somehow.

"Test?" I asked, I got out of my comfy hospital bed and stood up threshing in front of Lacy. "What is wrong with you?"

"Oh, shut up, Marina. I should be asking you the same question. You turned down a normal life with loving parents and normality and love. And for what? So that you could see your shitty friends again? They don't like you, sweetie. You mean as much to them as a flea. They keep you cause your useful, but I don't really see how. A couple of vague visions here and there. You aren't beneficial." Lacy's voice was getting louder and louder.

"I don't believe you." I said simply.

"You don't believe me? Let me prove it to you." Lacy snapped her fingers and I was in a darkly lit room with no windows or doors. Surrounding me were my friends chained to the wall. It was everyone, Luna, Everest, Caspar, Calum, Toby, Tessa.

"These little whores could have easily broken free from these flimsy chains and saved you, but no. They're terrified. Terrified of me." Lacy grinned and she looked like the Cheshire Cat.

"Now, join them, and Marina, don't scratch the wall." Lacy said and pointed at the wall. I watched as the wall turned into flimsy paper. The ground turned into some odd brown liquid that I didn't want to touch. And I knew that if someone did as little as breathed on the wall, all of us would go straight into the liquid.

This book is going like nowhere so i decided to attempt to spice things up. The whole wall thing came from Supernatural aka one of the greatest t.v. shows in the world. Just btw. Sorry that it's confusing. The song is Castle by: Halsey.
