Y/n's POV

I woke up in a dark room with a single light set in the center.

I sit up, trying to find a way out of the dim room.
walking a bit more, I go farther and farther away from the light to the point where I was now enveloped in darkness.

I took a few steps forward but tripped on an object laying on the ground.

I looked back to see what I tripped on and found a single red flower.

Mesmerizing red petals coated the flower and a bright ivy green laced around it's stem. I picked the delicate flower up and inspected it, eyes wandering around the petals to the stem and then finally to the red liquid dripping slowly to the floor.

"......blood?" I spoke to nobody but myself.

I looked down to the small puddle of blood that now miraculously made tracks going up north.

I decided to follow the trail, keeping my eyes glued to the droplets.

It soon led me to a blank white curtain.
Hesitating, I lifted the curtains to find a table decked out with all kinds of food, tea and a huge cloche right on the center of the table.

(Cloche: an object used to cover foods)

Little bunnies were decorated around the object and from what I could see, were on the plates and cups too. It all reminded me of—

"Little Bunny..." I whispered, remembering the stuffed toy Conny brought everywhere with her.

The memory filled me with joy yet I couldn't bring myself to smile.
I kept a frown in my face as I brought my hand up towards the cloche, curiosity spiking my mind, I felt like I needed to see what was inside the silver dome.

Right when I grabbed hold of the handle a voice roared behind me.

"Stop!"

I turned to my back to find the source of the voice but nothing came into my vision.
I desperately looked for the source as more voices continued to go around the room

"Stop it!"

"Go away!"

"You're not supposed to know!"

"No!"

"You're not supposed to be here!"

"Just leave."

I felt dizzy as I kept looking for the person and fell to the ground, I held my head in pain and annoyance from the voices overlapping each other.
A deafening scream of a little girl soon came and only made matters worse.

I told myself to just wake up and that everything would be fine but I couldn't keep it in, I was panting, shaking, tears pricking my eyes, threatening to spill out.

Then I felt a hand press on top of my head.

I looked up to see a boy in a white uniform just like mine, the room was dark so I couldn't make out his facial features but just by his silky raven-black hair, I could tell right away who he was.

"Hey..." Ray spoke, gently yet strictly.

A moment of silence followed, almost like he was hesitating. With a small sigh, he finally spoke.

"I'll tell you everything later, okay?" His voice sounded more clearer and the screams and voices now faded away.

As I was about to reply, I heard a curtain being pulled.

"Emma?" I said but immediately woke up.

I woke up in a cold sweat, I looked around and felt relief wash over me, seeing the familiar beds and sleeping figures of my siblings.

It was still dead in the night and nothing has moved at all so with one last sigh, I drift off to a dreamless sleep.
