It was the night after "The incident" Daniella had gone straight home, school was obviously cut short and although Brianna had offered to take her out for lunch to cheer her up, she refused. Daniella wanted to be alone, and alone she was, in the cold empty silence of her bedroom, asleep on a tear stained pillow...

As she was sleeping, something lightweight and square fluttered down from the ceiling, landing on her face. Daniella jolted upwards! Her eyes bolted open as she fumbled around, tangled in her bedsheets she fell stomach first onto the ground.

"Ugghh..." She complained in a tired groan, her voice muffled in the sheets. She wiped away a few tears from her still wet cheeks. She wasn't proud of the fact she felt this way. In fact quite the opposite, she hated it. It wasn't right, she already had Brianna... And what was Arina anyway? Daniella only knew her for a day, and in that time they hadn't gotten to know eachother all that well... She stuttered a lot, expect for the few times she didn't. They were rare, but incredible. Like something powerful suddenly came over her! And, she was good at drawing, okay, GREAT at drawing... And the fact she decided to draw Daniella was sweet... If a little strange. But that really was Arina wasn't it? Sweet but strange, bittersweet. In everything she did... Even as she yelled at Daniella, screaming she'd never be friends with her! She was crying... Like she didn't want to. Daniella found herself choking on her thoughts, stubbornly holding back a few tears she rolled her eyes, just trying to forget...

Unwrapping herself from the duvets, she slowly attempted escape from her prison of comfy. It was then she noticed what had awoken her, a little card rested on the ground. She picked it up, it was hand written in shiny blue ink, and laminated.

Good morning early bird! Come see me in ten minutes. I have some dear friends that wish to meet you...
-Rose

come see me in ten minutes? Daniella flicked the card over, it was blank. There was no address or meeting place described in the message, how was she meant to come see her? Feeling confused and very sleepy, Daniella, still on the floor. Reached up to her side table and picked up her phone, wincing as the bright light near blinded her.

4:57 AM.
Well, that explained the sleepiness. Swiping to the camera app she snapped a picture of the note and sent it to Brianna. Even in her solemn mood, Daniella couldn't help but smile when she saw the nickname Brianna had set for herself.

CalcuLoser.

CalcuLoser: Yo Dani. Ever heard of SLEEP?

SexyStegosaurus: Look at the picture Bri

CalcuLoser: But I'm tiiirrreeeddd... I wanna go to sleepy time junction...

SexyStegosaurus: Seriously, it's important.

CalcuLoser: Fine.

CalcuLoser: Woah

CalcuLoser: What the hell?

CalcuLoser: Are you gonna go?!

SexyStegosaurus: I would, but theres no address. What does she expect me to do? Evaporate there?

CalcuLoser: Can you do that?

SexyStegosaurus: No.

CalcuLoser: Aw...

5:07 AM.
Daniella jumped as something else fell from the ceiling, a baby blue rose. It fell so gracefully, Daniella's eyes followed it, disobeying the laws of physics, it floated down like a feather. Landing on Daniella's messy morning hair, she felt strange for a moment. A weird tingly feeling soared up from her fingertips through to her middle. Gasping as objects from her room began to float up off the ground! Bedsheets, books, her desk! Static rung in her ears, getting closer, louder. Her eyes flickered, glitching almost. Suddenly Daniella screamed! All at once her body warped and twisted, stretching out and caving in all at the same time! She shut her eyes tight as a bright light filled her vision! Her screaming cut off as the light engulfed her. Then as suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone. And Daniella gone with it.

Her phone dropped on the ground with a thud, objects crashing back down onto the floor as the room settled.

CalcuLoser: So... What are you gonna do then?

CalcuLoser: Dani?

CalcuLoser: Daaanniii??

CalcuLoser: K, you know, when you're in the middle of a convo about a creepy letter some psycho stalker bitch sent you, IT'S NOT POLITE TO GHOST.

CalcuLoser: Daniella you're scaring me please reply

CalcuLoser: Daniella?

CalcuLoser: Say nothing if you're in trouble again

CalcuLoser: ...Shit.
