'Hello. '

'Phil, its Essy. '

'Yh. What's good? '

'You know why I called. Where's Dan? '

'I was at his house earlier. His mum was irked for some reason. Couldn't get much but he wasn't home. '

'I can't get his cell. Just hope he's okay....'
An awkward silence fell.

'Alright you gonna say anything or you're just gonna keep dreaming 'bout dan? '

'Hey I'm not dreaming. Ugh... Why must you be soooo annoying? '

'Pfft... I'm annoying???wait till you meet you. '

'Good night. '
Phone disconnects.

'It's always about Dan'
He scoffed.  After tossing and turning, he finally goes to bed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

'Uhh... Hello. Earth to mum. '

'Who gave you this?'

'I don't know. Two guys. Talked about some world renewal or something. '

'No. You have to remember. '

'The cloak guy said we'd met before. I don't know. And Mr chubby didn't talk much. '

'We need you to recall every detail about that encounter. '

'I'll try. What's this all about anyways? '

They looked at themselves again. I'm really starting to hate that.  I left for my room to try to remember. The night was windy, perfect for a nap.

'Dan! Where you been man? '

'Phil? No this isn't right. '

'What's not right man? We've been looking for you for hours. '

'Yhhh I had a lil ish but I went home ... And to my room... Dude, where are we???'

'I looked around. Phil too suddenly realised we werent in familiar surroundings. '

I looked around to see we were in some gloomy room. There was web and dust all over. In the corner , there was someone.

'Hey!!'
I called out. She turned around to reveal a faceless person

'Oh my God'
we both screamed.

Dan... Daniel....
I could hear my name echoing around the room.
Daniel!!!

Gasps!.

I was in my room again.

'No... No... Where's Mrs Kelly?'

'She was just about leaving. We gave you something to do young man...'

'No.... We need to get to phil.'

I stormed out of the room. Mum was behind me.

'I don't understand... Phil? Why phil? Why in God's name so we need to get to phil?'

I walked into Mrs Kelly on my way down.

'Im Sorry.
Phil at home? 
We need to get there now. I'm not sure why but we need to.'

We rushed to the cars. At least they weren't asking anymore questions.

We got to Phil's and hurried in. Getting to his room we found him sleeping.

'We need to wake him. '
I yelled. Not particularly sure why. As I touched phil to shove him, I found myself in the gloomy room once again. It looked empty this time. The girl was gone..., phil was gone... Huh, wait... Phil was still there.

'Dan where did you go? I've been looking for an exit man, this room never ends. '

'Phil, chill. Sounds weird, but I think you're dreaming.... Were dreaming. You gotta wake up man. '

'Ha. You can't prank me man. In my dreams, people always have six fingers. Raise your hands. '

I raised them up.

'One,... two,... three,... Four,... Five. Dude, give it up already. '

'Okay guess that doesn't work here but still.'
Then I came up with a plan.

'Do you trust me? '

'Well yh.'

Okay. I'm sorry.

'Whatever for?'

'For this...'
With that, I whacked him hard and his consciousness became faint. He started fading away. I hoped it had worked. Then I heard screams of both my name and Phil's.

I opened my eyes to Phil's room. Phil was already sitting up, still getting himself.

'Whatcha guys doing here??? Mrs Barb,... Dan,... Mum...?'

Mum sighed.

'I hope you are ready boys... This is gonna be a looong night....'
