Hope's POV💙

  As my eyes were slowly opening, I look around and realize that I'm in the same forest again. This time it's different though. The leaves are glowing blue and frozen solid. Instead of snow, the whole forest is filled with the frost that's coming off the leaves in the forest. That's weird. In the distance, I see that boy again. But there's something different about him. When he looks at me, his eyes were different colors. One was red and one was white. Glowing white. He walks into the forest like last time and like last time I follow him again; While I'm walking, I hear these voices. Voices that are trying to tell me something, but I can't quite make it out. Focusing on the words from the voices, I accidentally bump into the boy. Noticing that he isn't reacting even a little, I turn him around and now both eyes are shining white; Bright white.

 "You must shine, my lunar angel," he says with a soft but deep tone in his voice.

"What do you mean? Who are you? What Is this place?" I ask confusingly.

That phrase plays over and over in my head. "You must shine...shine...

This echos and repeats and over and over until...


I wake up. I look at my phone. I see a text message. "Attention, Today there will be no school due to professional development being taken place among the faculty. Have a good day and stay safe". Well, at least there's no school today. And today is a Friday. Let's party.

I call up all my friends. They confirm that they are all coming over. I get dressed, throw on something cute that I got the other day, and clean my house a little. I'm glad I live alone. No one to say I can't have parties. I plug in my karaoke machine and my TV. Jeez, I have a lot of movies.  I hear a knock at the door. "coming" I said loudly. I hear banging now. Faster and faster. Then finally I heard a loud thud against the door. I run downstairs. I open the door. All my friends are there on the floor. Unconscious. 

I start to panic. I struggle to drag them inside. As I observe them and shake them to wake up I see no bruises, no cuts, or anything. While trying to think about what to do next, I notice something in the corner of my eye. A shimmer. In the bushes. I see a figure looking at me.
Without think of what could happen next or what I'll do next. I run outside and chase him. Or her. I can't really tell. I'm chasing them. I'm running as fast as possible. They turn. I turn as well. I lose them. Dammit. 

As I look around for them trying to remind myself to breathe, I decided to check on my friends. I walk into my house and my friends are gone. I don't know where they went. As my nerves worsen I run to my phone to try to call the police. When I grabbed the phone, all of a sudden I feel this hard thud to the back of my head. I tried to view the one responsible, view their face but to no avail. All I see is the same figure I was chasing before. The last thing I remember is feeling my lifeless body being dragged along the gravel and stones of the road gathering cuts and bruises while being thrown into what I thought was a car or van. My mind then escapes me as the sound of an engine starts...
