Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Death. That's not a really funny thing to joke about. Just because I missed the first class doesn't give you the right to make death jokes about me! And ignoring me doesn't make it any better. It's not like my teacher is a mother with a child who snuck out of the house so she's giving him the silent treatment, I'm a student that just woke up in a cave and needs answers for what's happening!

I am walking home hoping my mom can explain how I got to the cave in the first place. Me and my mom haven't really been that close since her boyfriend proposed to her. When they started dating I thought that they would break up anyways but when they hit five month anniversary I started to get distant from my mom so she would notice that I'm making her pick between me or him. She didn't. It's not like he's a bad guy, I just don't like him. I don't really have a reason.

I was walking past the cave again almost reaching home. I looked into the cave and it looked even deeper than before. I know that I'm a nineteen year old who shouldn't belive in ghosts and magical stuff, but basicly anything without a logical explenation is magic.

I walked in my house to find out that its fully empty. No one was home and all the furniture was overlayed with white sheets. What is going on here? I ran up to my room just to find all my furniture and belongings gone, except for one box witch had written "Memories" on it. I opened it there were things I was upsest with starting from baby years till now. It had my very first toy, my favorite book in pre-school, my secret diary from first grade, my mp3 player from 5th grade, and other things very dear to me.

What are they doing? Are we moving? No that can't be it, my mom would tell me if we would be moving. And why are my obsession things in this box? The only thing I could do is wait for my mom to return from wherever she was.

I sat on the stairs with my face in my hands. I was confused. Even though I slept for a while in the cave, I still felt drained out. There was minimal energy left in me and I just wanted to fall asleep. I went up to the couch and took the sheet off. I layed down thinking that as soon as I close my eyes I would fall asleep, but I didn't. I tried to fall asleep in every position possible, but I just wasn't comfortable.

I got up and decided to look for my phone so I wouldn't be bored. I thought that it could be in the "Memory" box, so walked up to my room and checked. I looked through the box and found all sorts of things but not the phone.

Then I found a compass. It was broken, It moved around and never really showed a single direction. It was fun to look at when I was younger. My dad gifted me this compass and he usually said to never go in the direction that the compass showed. Of course when I was younger I believed that and never went in the direction of the compass, but when my dad left I decided to rush it and went exsactly in the direction that the compass showed and it just lead to the cave I woke up in and started spinning like crazy.

This time it was different. The compass showed only one direction. It showed my direction.

"That's wierd. " I said to myself wondering did the compass just lost its ability to move. I put the compass on the ground, I wanted to test something. I got up and walked around the compass. It kept pointing at me. As I was going in circles, so was the compass direction. This was very wierd. Now I was sure that it was pointing at me. I had no explanation to this so it had to be magic. Then an explanation popped up in my head, It could be my metal earnings that the compass is magnetised to. Before I could take the earrings off, I heard my house door open.

I got exsided and I ran downstairs, but to my surprise It wasn't my mom who stood there. A tall dark-haired man stood there. He had blue eyes and he looked like he was about in his early twenties. Maybe twenty-one? He defently had time on his hands, because a body like his is pretty hard to achieve.

He entered the house and his gaze stroke me. Why was he staring at me? I tried not to stare back so I looked like an idiot looking all around the place. He closed the doors and slowly approached me. I got scared thinking maybe he was gonna kiddnap me or even worse. The closer he got, the more scared I got. He was about three feet away from me when I started to freak out. My survivor reflexes kicked in and I punched him in the face as hard as I could. At least I thought I was, but he managed to catch my hand and he held it tight. I sarted backing up not wanting to die, but of course a wall appeared to be behind me.

My body was pushed into the wall. He grabbed both of my hands and put his and my hands on the wall on both sides of my face. He chuckled seeing the fear in my eyes. Was he a psyhopath? How can you lough at someone elses fear? He got closer to my face leaving about two inches between our faces. I thought that I was gonna pass out.

"Are you Issabella Clemonte? " He said in a serious voice. His breath smelled like fresh mint and it made me dizzy. How did me know my name? Something in me told me to say "no" to see what he would say.

"No I'm not, now would you please let me go and take a step back? " I said. I didn't want to seem rude, but he just broke into my house so I showed no mercy.

"Don't lie to me, or I won't let you go. " he said in an even more serious voice. Why does he had to know?

"I'm not lying! Let me go!" I stood my ground trying to wigle out of his grip.

"Really? How can you see and hear me then?" He said in an accomplished voice, like he is proving a point. What was he talking about? Of course I could see him! He was in front of me!

"Are you crazy? You are right in front of me!" I said while trying to figure out what to do about this situation.

"Well only Issabella Clemonte in this neighborhood is able to see me, so I am pretty sure that's you! " Was he seriously drunk? He didn't smell like it though.

"You need to let me go, you're crazy! " I said trying to talk some sence into his head. Then my mom walked in the house. Thank god, atleast I won't die.

"Mom, help! " I yelled. She didn't even look my way. Was she ignoring me in this moment?

"She can't hear you, Bella! She can't see you eather! Neather could Marlyosa! Neather could your teacher, nobody of the human world can see you anymore! " He said while getting annoyed by my trys to escape. Was he serious? Who is Marlyosa? What does he mean "human world"?

"What is this about? Just let me go! " I said totally convinced that he was mental.

"You want proof? Fine, I'll give you proof!" he said. He let go of my arms and pushed me into my mom. I went through her. I just went through my mother like she was made of air. Or maybe I was.
