Nothing. I felt nothing.

No pain. No weird twisting and breaking of limbs. No mysterious boys taking me out to the woods while I was wearing dress that was a tiny bit shorter than my mom would approve of.

No screaming girls or boys, dancing to music while trying to flirt. No drunk people and no sober either to gossip about me.

The feeling I had was the strangest on the planet, like when you just woke up from a dream, not knowing if your in the real world or just stuck in your own head.

I felt like I was dreaming, but yet it felt like the real world. Everything looked weird, smelled weird and felt weird in every single way.

It made zero sense. Everything was different.

Everything around me was dark, that I could tell. But yet I could see perfectly. I was in the woods and it was definitely night, but I could see everything as clear as day. It was peaceful, and it was beautiful.

I get up slowly from the exact same place Hunter had placed me on the cold ground.
I look around and began to panic when I realise that he's not here with me. What did he mean?

For some reason I was warm, and I felt all cozy, fluffy and smug. How could that have been possible as it was the middle of the night and almost winter.

I was alone. And I wanted to change that as soon as I could.

I get up and stumbled forward, as I get used to my legs once again. Almost like I had to teach myself how to walk, nothing felt the way it usually did.

Walking felt weird, it was different yet I couldn't tell what was different about it, something was definitely going on but it couldn't figure out what it was.

Everything about this was really weird. But at the same time felt familiar.

Suddenly, Em shouts out. But she wasn't shouting for me, she was shouting for him.

Hunter.

Where was he? After all it was him that brought me out into the woods, the scariest part about the entire town.Well, it was what scared me the most.

Being here now felt comforting.

"Em?!" I scream out, now terrified of being on my own. Yet when I spoke, I wasn't speaking.

"Em where are you!" I scream running in the direction of where I could hear her feminine voice.

"Em!" I began screaming, "help me!"

I'd never ran so fast in my life, it was all like a blur as I jumped over large branches easily.

I continue screaming for Em, but didn't get a response. It was like she'd just disappeared into thin air altogether. One second she was shouting from one direction, the next another.

"Em!" I shout again, stopping and standing at the bottom of a large hill, lying down to catch my breath.

Without control, I started crying. Small sobs which quickly turned into huge cries which hurt my chest. It wasn't cries...it sounded more like painful howls.

I lay there, in the dirt and soil surrounded by trees and stared up at the moon. The large beautiful moon which had lit up the entire forest in a mysterious way. It was smiling at me, whispering to me as I fell for its charm.
