          Amber gets up, removing her sweaty hand from Violet’s. Opening her blue eyes, she can see a vast gray land, with several craters, with a black sky with bright shining stars.

          Her head feels foggy and she’s dizzy. After blinking a couple of times, she sits up straight recovering. She looks over to see Red already standing and looking around.

          Too weak to stand up, Amber places her left hand on her hand, and with the other she tugs her amber colored skirt and pulls down her orange shirt.

          “Oh my god, we’re on the moon!” She hears Red scream excitedly. “Come on guys, get up! Get up!” Red yells and makes her way to help Blue.

          Amber groans and flops back onto the dusty ground.

          “Get up Amber,” Violet says walking in front of her. Her hands are on her hips wrinkling up her dark purple shirt that’s tucked into the light purple skirt.

          Amber moans again and reaches out her arm. Violet grabs it and pulls her up to her feet.

          “Thanks,” Amber mumbles putting her hand on her pocket to feel the stone, making sure it’s still there.

          “Come on,” Violet says. “Let’s look around.”

          Amber nods and looks over at Red and Blue. “Hey you guys, let’s go! Over here!” Amber yells.

          Red and Blue look over at them. “Coming,” Red calls back grabbing Blue’s arm. She runs over to Amber and Violet, Blue trailing behind.

          As the four girls come together, they look around the area.

          “Which way do you think we should go?” Amber asks looking at the darkness ahead of them.

          She turns back at the three other girls who are looking around in wonder, except for Blue. Blue looks horrified and as if she’s been destroyed inside. Her eyes look wet as if she’s been crying. But Amber doesn’t dare ask about it, she knows Red would know what’s happened, but knows its best not to bring it up. If it was important, Red would have told them.

          “I think we should go left.” Red says.

          “No, I think we should go right,” Violet comments pointing in the opposite direction.

          Amber sighs and lets the two girls bicker. She turns around and breaks away from the group and starts walking.

          She begins to here faint footsteps behind her and turns around to see Blue following her.

          “Hey Blue,” Amber says.

          “Hi.” Blue whispers.

          “What’s wrong? You look down?” Amber asks without thinking. Shoot, I told myself not to ask about it!

          Blue doesn’t say anything and looks at Amber, tears forming in her eyes.

           “You don’t have to tell me in you don’t want to, you know that, right?” Amber says kneeling down to make eye contact with Blue.

          Blue nods, but speaks anyway. “It’s just that I had a dream, and it’s been freaking me out since this morning.” Blue whispers.

          “Do you want to tell me what it was about?” Amber asks. “You don’t have to, but if you want too I’m all ears.”

          Blue nods. “Well, and took place here, on the moon. I was tied up and Suzy was there. She possessed you all. My mom was also there, along with you guys. You guys looked dead, hallow even. It was like you were possessed, or…or maybe even zombies. All of you, except Suzy.” Blue says struggling to speak. Amber looks at Blue and rubs her arm. Tears have now stained Blue’s cheek, and she is taking rash breaths. “And…and…” Blue starts up again taking another breath. “Suzy said some things, but it was muffled, I don’t remember what they were. But I remember I was panicking, she was saying mean things, bad things, and I was trying to get loose. Then, Suzy had a knife…and…and…” Blue stops and takes another breath.
