There was this girl standing in a pit of flames, the flames wiped around me. The heat felt like it was burning my skin off, I move closer to the girl and the I noticed the person was me. She was covered in blood and she was wearing an princess looking dress in (F/C). She had no emotion at all, she looked to me and gave me a small smile. I stepped closer confused, 'what the hell!'  I think. "I'll be waiting." She said quietly.

I went to speak but nothing would come out, the flames wrapped around my wrist and ankles burning my skin off. But I felt no pain, everything around me started to break apart leaving me in a black void of nothingness. Tears filled my eyes as fear started to consume me, then I passed out.

I shot up from my bed, my heart bounding, tears on my face. My breathing was heavy and obviously shaken, whatever that was it freaked me out. I sat there for a good few minutes my eyes sometimes going out of focus. My stomach was hurting badly, I don't know if it's from hunger or something different. I look to the clock it read '4:27' Am, I sigh and climb out of bed. I walk over to the window and slide it open, I stare into the dark woods.

I let my mind wander, thoughts run through my ahead then get replaced by new ones. I ignore my aching stomach, I see a familiar navy blue masked man coming from the trees. He was drenched in blood, I watched him walk around the mansion to the front.

I feel like ever since I came here he's been avoiding me, like he doesn't want me to find something out or that he doesn't want others to see us talking. I start to think to myself, 'what if I just take a stroll?' I nod to my and jump out my window and land perfectly. I fist pump the air happily, I then realized I'm still in my PJ's, "Shit." I cuss, sighing. I climb another tree and jump grabbing my window sill.

I hoist myself up into the window. I slipped into a (F/C) jacket, some blue jeans, and a pair of black Vans. I grab a small pocket knife that Trendy gave to me, I stuff it in my pocket just in case. I jump back out the window and run into the woods.

...time skip...

I walk through the woods and have the wind howling around me, my hair flowing to the side (Sorry short hair people). My hands sat in my pockets, my  right hand plays with the pocket knife while I walk. I felt like I was being followed, I kept walking trying to ignore it. I felt someone and/or something grab my shoulder.

I turn around and held the pocket knife firmly, I noticed the familiar orange glare of Toby's googles. I relax and put the knife back. "What?" My voice was harsh.
"I-I just wa-anted to-to know-w why y-yo-u are out-t here." He stuttered out twitching a bit.
"I'm walking." I growled.
"B-be care-ful-l." He sighed leaving, I roll my eyes and kept walking until day break.
