Dream Machine

Chapter 2

"Guys, wake up!" I say jumping off my bed. I head over to my sleeping friends on the floor. I shake them until they finally wake up.

Hannah rolls back over to go back to sleep, but Scarlett starts stretching and standing up. We look at each other and grin. There's only one thing that will wake her up for good. Water.

We fill a bucket with ice cold water then stand over Hannah. "Last chance Hannah." I taunt, but no luck. I nod my head at Scarlett and we dump the water on Hannah's head. She immediately bolts up and gives us a look. We burst out into laughter and she gets up. We get up and run. Hannah is on the track team so she is able to catch up to both of us and she tackles us. You wouldn't expect one person to be able to take down two, but Hannah had so much momentum, I swear she could've taken down at least five people.

We couldn't stop laughing after that. I gave Hannah some spare clothes and she took a shower. While we waited, Scarlett and I just talked. We talk about makeup, boys, and just any other gossip. Hannah came back with two cans of silly string in her hand. I knew it wasn't safe to put silly string in the bathroom. Darn. She aimed the cans at us with an evil look on her face. I quickly ducked and crawled forward toward Hannah. Scarlett wasn't so lucky. She was silly stringed right in her face and was practically covered in the string five minutes later. I had managed to grab the second can and spray Hannah. I am the only one not covered in string right now.

We head down for breakfast. It is 9:00. There is waffles with blueberries for breakfast. My friends scarf down the food. I eat mines normally. By the time we finish it is 9:30.

"This was fun, but I have some things to do. See you later?" Hannah says as she grabs her jacket. "Yah I have to go to. And you have something important to to do." Scarlett says as she gives me a wink. I say bye to my two very best friends and close the door. I head back up to my room.

I decide to take a nap. After our movie marathon last night, I barely got any sleep.

I wake up at 12:00. I quickly change into jeans and a white shirt and head downstairs. I make myself a quick sandwich and sit at the dining table. I look online for an empty warehouse near 7eleven. Turns out it's an empty warehouse able for people to rent for a day. I quickly finish the rest of my sandwich and head out. My brother is out with his car so I can't ask for a ride. I have to walk there. Good think it's only 10 minutes walking distance. I start out right away.

I arrive at 12:45. The warehouse looks like it's falling apart.I wait outside the warehouse until 12:55. Then I head in. The inside was no better. The tiles on the floor looked like it could fall off. The pillars that held up the building had many scratches and made squeaking noises every five minutes.

I stand all alone for five minutes. As the hands struck 1:00, I can see people rolling a cart and a stretcher into the warehouse. "A stretcher?" I mutter as quietly as I could.

The people introduce themselves as Vivian and Micah. Vivian had wild purple hair that stopped right before her extending past her ears. She had an earing on her nose and above her eye. Micah had huge glasses covering half his face. His dark brown hair grows past his eyes. They extend their hands and I take both in my own hands. They shake my hands a little more violently then I expected. I clutch my hands to my chest in pain.

"Sit on the stretcher." Vivian demands.

"I don't even know you!" I say taken aback. 

Why is this here? I don't understand this. I probably should just go home. This is too creepy.

Vivian as if reading my mind says, "We won't hurt you. Just sit on the stretcher."

This did not convince me. I turn around prepared to leave when Vivian grabs me harshly on the shoulder.
