Naya's Perspective:

Upon opening my eyes, I can tell there is something wrong.

There is darkness and nothing but it.

Where am I?

My last memory is falling asleep on the bed to take a brief nap, but something woke me up.

I need to find some sort of light switch.

After getting on my feet, I go around to search for some sort of light source.

I find nothing.

Not even the wall itself.

Seriously, where am I?

"Naya..." A low, female voice whispers in front of me.

"Who are you?" I question loudly. "Where am I?" In fear, I back away from the voice.

"Follow me, Naya..." The same low voice commanded.

"Tell me where the hell I am!" I bark.

"Oh, you'll find out..." She snickers.

The once dark, atmosphere swirls into a different one in an instant. The voice brings me to a meadow, filled with bright yellow dandelions and towering trees. Instantly, a gust of wind blows in my face, causing me to shut my eyes. This change of scenery only irritated me even more.

"Answer me! Where the fuck am I?" I shouted at the blue sky.

"Follow me, Naya. Follow the butterflies." The voice commanded once more.

Magically, a swarm of monarch butterflies popped out of thin air and flew away in the opposite direction. Out of curiosity, I do as I am told and follow the said group of the winged insects.

After a couple minutes of walking, the butterflies lead me to a wooden arch that is cascaded in flowers. There is also a pathway laid down leading up to an arch with chairs around it. The sun shined brightly in the summer sky and birds chirped.

It looked like it was set up for an apparent wedding.

"Why have you brought me here?" I ask another question.

Immediately after asking, A figure appeared at the arch.

A figure I immediately recognized.

Michael...

"Michael! Where are we?" I ask, but he doesn't acknowledge my existence.

"She'll be back, Naya..." The voice warns.

"She?" I responded back puzzled.

"She'll get what she wants." The voice continues.

"Who's she? What does she want? Answer me please!" I begged.

"Revenge..." The voice forewarns.

Something about the way the voice said that caught me way off guard. Out of shock, I clumsily stumbled while stepping away from the odd setup.

That is when she appeared.

The one person I had been dreading to see.

Tatiana...

She was draped in a beautiful, white dress that flowed across the surface of the meadow's green grass.

The sight of her brought back the tenseness that I had while she was still on tour. Baffled, I tried to figure out an explanation for why she would be here.
