Beautiful Nightmares

Chapter 2

It was about third period and Willow did not want to be in class so she asked the teacher to go to the library. As soon as she walked through the door to leave the classroom she got on her phone and texted Alex.

"Hey going to the library. Meet me if you can." Willow typed ash she walked through the halls. Right as she turned the corner she ran into Ross and Alexander. Alexander had met Willow at fish camp and they had been friends since. The only thing that threw everyone off was the fact that Willow was friends with two Alex's. She had met Ross at church when he had visited with one of Willow's other friends named  Tanner. Willow had been friends with both of them ever since she moved to La Vernia.

"What's up sluts?" Willow said as she walked up to both of them.

"Ummm excuse me who exactly are you talking to?" Ross asked Willow.

"Yeah cause I'm not really a slut." Alex said.

"You're right. Your a whore not a slut" Willow said as she laughed.

"So what are doing out of class?" Ross asked as Willow, Ross, and Alex all walked down the hall.

"Well I am headed to the library like a nerd. So." Willow said as she walked out the building. When she walked up to the library she saw Alex by the doors of the library.

"You ready?" Willow asked Alex.

"Ummm yeah, I guess" Alex said.

As they walked in they were greeted by Mrs. Rivers smile and her hellos. Mrs.Rivers was the librarian and knew all about the good books. They headed to the back of the library in a room with some chairs and tables. "So what's on todays agenda?" Willow asked Alex. "I don't know man that's up to you" Alex told Willow. As they sat down Willow took some earphones out plunge it into her phone she hit play and the song "Raindrops " by Fytch came on. She sat in a chair and let the music take her away. The last thing she saw was everything fading to black as she leaned back into the chair.

When she "awoke" she was in a completely different setting. It wasn't the room in the library, she knew that for sure. Everything seemed darker. It was if her depression state had taken over. She got out of the chair and looked out of the nearest window. Outside she say a gray sky and it was raining. When she looked to see what she had on, she was dressed in all black like it was skin tight but light material, and came separate. It wasn't one piece suit, but shirt and tights. Willow had no pockets so she had nothing on her and she began to look around the room. "That's funny" she told her self. "I usually have some weapon or supplies" she said as she started to look around the room.

Willow tried to keep calm and not have anxiety attack, but not having any weapons or supplies was really worrying her. She could hardly breath and couldn't seem to focus on one thing in the room. The room started to feel like it was shrinking, but right as it seemed like she was in a tiny box she spotted a satchel in the corner of the room under a tarp. As she carefully approached it the room started to expand again. She grabbed the bag along with the tarp and put it on the table to examine what it held inside. All she found in the satchel was some throwing knives, rope, and dagger. Willow was just wondering what these item would be for. Obviously the tarp was to keep from getting wet cause the rain, but she didn't understand why that specific choice of weapons. The next best things she figured to do was to pack everything up and head out.

When she went to open the door it seemed to be jammed. She rammed the side of her body a few times before she figured out it wouldn't work. Willow was getting so frustrated that she took all her anger and kicked the door down. "Woah haha I didn't know I could do that" she said as she walked over the broken door.  The section of the building she was in was completely empty. One thing Willow had learned after she started having these visions/dreams was never make yourself known. She didn't know who or what was in the building or how many their was of them and didn't want to tip them off that she was there. The halls were dark, but she still managed to see objects that were in her path. Willow managed to make it to a door that had the words  "Fire Escape"  on it  so she opened the door and headed down the stair way. The whole time she climbed down the stairs she couldn't help, but get an apocalyptic vibe of the whole place. She went as far down as she could and opened up the door. It wasn't much brighter outside so it made it easier for her eyes to adjust and she was on her way.

Willow walked along on the sidewalk while she looked around trying to figure out where she was, but she couldn't seem to figure it out. The scenery wasn't familiar and there seemed to be no signs. Right as Willow seemed to get the vibe of the place she heard a loud crashing sound. She stopped in her tracks and suddenly wished she hadn't left the building. The ground beneath her started cracking and everything was shaking.
"Earthquake!!" she shouted even though she knew it probably wasn't smart. All her mind could come up with was to run, so she ran as fast as she could back to the building. The only problem was, was that she forgot where the building was and was completely lost. All the buildings looked the same and was all in the same proportion. She ran up to the door of the nearest building, but the doors shut and wouldn't open. She ran from building to building and the same thing happened at every door. On top of all this the rain started to rain harder, but the ground had stopped shaking.

Willow walked to where two buildings almost met and got the rope tied it to each pole and put the tarp over it. "Home sweet home" she told herself as she sat under the tarp. A few minuets had passed and Willow couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She looked around and didn't see a single soul.  Willow just sat there all alone and let her thoughts consume her. She decided to get up and stretch her legs, but after walking around a little she heard a huge crack and looked up. It seemed like a whole lake was pouring down on her and she jumped up.

When Willow wiped the water from her eyes she was laying on the floor at the library. Alex and Mrs.Rivers was next to her and they both looked worried.
"What?" Willow asked wiping her face.
"We didn't know what was wrong with you" Mrs.Rivers said as she got up.
"Yeah man. You were sitting in the chair and Liston to your music when all of a sudden you just slid out of it and layer on the floor. I called your name a couple of times because class had ended, but you didn't budge. So I went and started shaking your body and that still did nothing. I was so worried so I got Mrs.Rivers and she said to splash water on your face so she got a cup of water and poured it on your face." Alex said as she helped Willow up.
"Oh. How long was I out?" Willow asked surprised.
"An hour maybe an hour and a half" Mrs.Rivers said as she walked out of the room.
Alex helped Willow get all her stuff and they all just went on their ways.
"I'll see you later?" Willow asked Alex as they started to walk to class.
"Yeah. I hope you feel better" Alex said before she walked away.
"Thanks" Willow said. She found it odd that what happened to her body physically happened in her alternative world. Like how when Alex was shaking her it created an earthquake. It made sense, but also threw her off. All Willow knew was that she would figure it out sooner or later, but hoped it would be sooner before she got herself hurt.
