~Zoie~

"Zoie!"

The word, I think it's my name, echoed. I couldn't see it. It was too dark, and it smelt like smoke. I could feel a presence beside me.

"Zoie, please come home"

I tried to answer, but my lips wouldn't, couldn't move. I stumbled around the dark until I felt a wall. It was cold, almost soothing compared to the clouding world around me. The voice cried out again

"I have to go now, but I love you, and I will never stop looking for you"

A spinning sound started, and the world started clearing.

I opened my eyes, and my hands were strapped to the chair. He was still here, standing in front of me.

"Who's Zoie? Why is somebody looking for her"

"That doesn't matter." He said, smirking "Mission report. Now"

I blinked and answered him "The mission went well. We lost our team but we learned who the Ice Phoenix is from the first school. There were others, a couple of soldiers. One with a bow and another with very impressive knife skills."

I tried to remember the rest, but all that came up was that voice.

"Who is Zoie?" I asked again

"Do you need to go back under"

I didn't, but at the same time, I knew that was the only way to hear that voice, so I repeated myself.

"Who is Zoie?"

He just sighed and turned away. And the world went dark again.

I waited.

The voice didn't come back.
