Drew's Pov
'Shall we' I asked stepping out, there was no escape route
He pulled me by the shoulder leading me out, when out he opened a tunnel and I went in, we walked for about 5 minutes before we got to a room I assume was the lab. There were surgical knives beside a bed and two women in white looking ready to dissect whatever I hope wasn't me...
'Why am I here?' I asked trying to keep my cool
'Uncuff him' Esther said as she walked into the room
I tried to attack but he instantly covered my nose with a substance and I suddenly felt limp. I couldn't fathom what was happening I couldn't move either and after hours of enduring some excruciating pain I was taken out of there, a bag was placed over my head and I heard the car engine start; soon they made a stop and tossed me out, I could hardly see a thing but I could tell I was in the woods from the sounds of leaves and the birds chirping...
'Help me' I said trying to link up to my parents but I was to weak to concentrate
Jessica's Pov
'Jessica, help me' I heard a voice say but it was so dark I couldn't see who it was
'Who are you?' I asked walking up to the ghostly shadow in the dark
'A friend' he said
'Why do you hide in the dark' I asked taking a step closer
'No...no, don't come any closer' he cried out
'Why?' I asked
'All will soon be known but first you must take the key' he said and before I could say another word I was at my Dads house in Nigeria
'Jessica' I heard Dad call
'Daddy?' I queried looking around for him
'Find the key and find the truth' he said
'What key Dad? Where are you?' I asked, I heard the front door creak open and I rushed out but there was no one
'Jessica!' I heard him scream but...
'Drew...?' I said as I now stood in a pool of blood, Drew holding onto my lifeless body
'Jessica' I turned to see who it was but a deafening sound brought me back to reality
'6.30...6.30! Jeez' I jumped out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower
'brush...brush, where is it....found ya' I put on some tooth paste and as I brushed my tooth the bandage fell off and I noticed the wound on my arm had healed. I could not believe it, this must be what she meant by 'it'd be gone by tomorrow' I recalled Claire's words
'Immortal' I said winking at myself in the mirror, my mood suddenly toned down as I recalled the nightmare I had last night and then I heard my alarm ring again
'Oh shit' I said as I turned on the shower temperature
'Yo...you ok?'Josie asked I'd been zoned out through out the whole class, I just couldn't get my mind off that nightmare and to make things worse Drew's class was taken by Mr Philip
'Yoooo?' Josie called out again
'huh...yeah, the class over?' I asked a little confused
'Uh yeah, whats wrong with you? you've been zoned out the whole time' she asked crossing her hands on her chest
'Oh...I didn't realize that, I'm just having a lil headache' I said
'Uhuh, it has nothing to do with a someone' she teased
'Of course not' I said defensively shaking my head
I couldn't get myself to focus on anything, I was so glad when the bell rang bringing my last class for the day to an end
'There's a party tonight at Tyler's, you have to be there' Josie said as we made our way to the parking lot
'I can't...I have home work?' I said unsure
'Sweetheart we attend the same classes and I am happy to tell you that we have no homework today, how would you even know you were zoned out the all day' she said
'Come with a swim suit?' she added
'I don't have any' I said hoping that would get me off
'Boo hoo, I'll bring you one; lucky you I've got a lot!' she said with a grin, there was no escaping this for me

'Bye Mr and Mrs Johnson, we'll be back first thing tomorrow' Josie told them as we drove off
'Check it, take whichever you like' Josie said pointing to a bunch of bathing suits on the passenger seat
'These are all bikini's, I don't think I can wear any of these' I complained
'Don't be a party pooper, here, wear this...its more you' she said, I took it from her
'Fine...do I have to wear it though? I can't even swim' I asked
'Yeah you have to, don't you think its high time you learnt how to' she said with a look that says 'don't you'
'Didn't we just pass Tylers place?' I inquired cause she just drove past the house
'Yeah, its at their beach house' she explained
When we got to the house it was quiet much to my surprise...
'Here, go change' she said tossing me the bikini
'Could I be any more revealing' I said to my reflection in the mirror
'You done' Josie asked as she pulled her head in to check on me
'Yeah' I said and we left to join the party, the beach was a few feet away from the house
'Hey ladies, thought y'all bailed' he said with grin
'Glad you could make it though...' Zach stole Josie away in the middle of his little welcome speech so it was just both of us. Not for long though, every girl here seems to have their gaze on him can't blame 'em, the guy is hot!
'Hey Ty, wanna dance' A blonde girl asked, tracing his biceps with her finger. He looked at me apologetically and left
I was alone and couldn't swim so I decided to take a walk around, it was a really cool place to hang out
'Help me' I heard someone say sending chills down my spine as I recalled the nightmare I had
'Help me' I heard again I couldn't point where the voice came from I heard it over and over again then I realized it was in my head
I didn't know where I was going but I just followed my instincts, I didn't even know how far I'd gone until I looked back and couldn't see anyone but the trees...
I suddenly got scared and began to run but came to a halt when I smelt something, no, someone familiar...
I traced the smell and I saw him laying on the floor
'Hello? ' I whispered cause I was damn scared
'Help me' he said this time and I couldn't believe it, that voice
'Drew?... ' I said as I rushed over to him
'Help...umm...Take me to... to... ' he said faintly
'Lemme go get help' I said attempting to get up but he held me back
'No, they can't know...' he said weakly
'Know what? ' I asked really confused and scared
'Come' he said with a gasp gesturing that I bend over and I did, he whispered something into my ears and passed out.
