The school ends. I skip going to my bus and walked directly to Tex. avenue. The one Nevada told me about. She wanted me to meet there for something. I guess a private talk?
I didn't have a chance to talk to David..

I reach the old abandoned apartments. The flat was..broken down.

"Hello!" Nevada waves from inside a room. The door was broken down. "Hi?.."
"I know, come in! There's something I want to show you."
I walk inside. The room was dark and rotten. Moss and vines grew everywhere. It was still daylight outside.
"Okay! Short summary: I'm gonna show you her world."
I'm confused. More confused than Algebra problems.
She motions me to sit. She does the same. "Look. She showed me this. Small hand signs and movements. Okay okay! So exciting for me, sorry."
Nevada crosses her legs. She takes a calming breathe in and out. Her arms pull up and circle in motion, slowly. To slowly come together to hold hands. "Do the same as me."
"Ok?" I sit down and re-did her motions. This isn't awkward at all..
"Now close your eyes and stay." She moves towards me. "Why?.." I ask.
I felt her tap between my brows, "I'll explain when there, Clay."

I heard birds. The fresh cool air felt nice. Something shoved me, "Wake up!" I gasp for air as I jump to sit up. I look around. Where was the apartment? It was a forest. No where near anywhere. "What the- where?!"
A girl in bright pink hair and a blue outfit knelt before me. "Sorry about that. Oh! It's me, Nevada. But here you can call me Pink," she smiles. Her eyes were blue this time, "You don't look bad yourself." She says. I take a glance at myself.
I wore all black and had no backpack. Black torn-ish gloves and a mask. I pull the mask off, "Why?"
"Welcome to the Other World!" Pink smirks, "Or her world if you'd like."
"But it's a forest."
"Yeah..Rikkun loves nature."
I regret asking? So, was she here?
"Anyways, about those tapes. How far are you at?" She asks.
"Tape 3."
"Ah, so..middle school." She sighs. "What a rough year."
I was going to say something until she shushed me. "Shhh! Look.." she looks over and points away from us. A white wolf stands watching us. Its ears were low. "Hey girl!" Pink motions her to come. "Are you insane! That's w-wild animal!"
Pink glares at me. "And you aren't? Watch your tongue before a cat claws it off!"
The wolf walks to us. She had red markings on her snow white coat. Brown eyes. She sits. Her tail curls around herself. Pink hugs the wolf, "I know, but it's not like he'll know." The wolf growls lowly.
"I'm sorry."
The wolf looks to me. "H-hi?"
I felt a large pressure knock me down.
The wolf pounced on me. Her tail wags and her ears were waving up and down. "Ack! Hehe- hey! Calm down!" I pet her. "Whats her name?" I ask Pink.

"I can't tell."

"And why not?"

The wolf jumps back from me, because I said so.
My jaw falls, "Huh?.."
The wolf rolls her eyes. Pink pats her head, "Heh, silly girl, am I right?"

"No! Who exactly is she?!" I point to the wolf freaking out. "Why am I here?!"
The wolf rolls onto her back still looking at me. Was that a mock?
"Oh please, you must be blind. Can't you see?" Pink says.
I take a glance at the wolf again. Her eyes. They soften. She smiles.
"N-no! That can't be?"
Pink giggles, "Geez, you Americans are so funny! Isn't that right, eh girl?" She rubs the wolf's stomach. Her foot goes crazy.
"R-Rikkun?.." The wolf stops and sits up facing away from me. Her ears lower. Could it be? Or was this just a land of which I'm losing my mind? The wolf looks back to me. She curls up behind Pink. It was. H-hello, Clay. Long time no s-see?
"What happened?" I commanded my question to be answered. Pink draws a sword out in front of me, making me stop, "Hold on! Damn, you really are blind. Look, she doesn't want any part. Not yet. Now, you better return to the real world and finish whatever is necessary. If not, you don't come back here. Or see her at all."
"Who told you to tell me what to do?" I snapped.
Rikkun seemed to glare away from us. Please stop fighting, I haven't healed.
Pink puts her sword away. "Sorry."
I sighed. What did she mean? I'm so confused I don't know if I'm dreaming or not.
Rikkun lays down. Pink..I can't stay for long. I'm not in a good area.
Pink nods her head, "Then leave here."
I can't. I'm hiding. I can't keep-
She began to glitch different animals and all sorts of beings.
"Whats going on?" I ask.
"Somethings wrong." Pink states.
Help!
The wolf whines and whimpers covering her head. Still glitching. Make it stop! It hurts!
Pink looks to me, "Sorry, Clay, you gotta go."
"No!"
"Yes! So see you soon!" Pink taps between my brows.

I wake up, like a nightmare, looking around. Back at the apartments. It was night. Nevada was no where. Where did she go? My phone buzzes. Mom again. I rolled my eyes. What's even going anymore? Did I just break the rules of life or death? Who knows..I just have to get home..
