I slammed the door behind me, my hands trembling. I couldn't comprehend anything, they never liked me, they just used me,all of them. I sat down on the floor my hands wrapped around my knees. Tisha is not my friend, she was never my friend. They just want something from me, more of the need something from me and most importantly they don't want me to know. I wiped my eyes with my palms trying to control my breathing. I need to find out what the want with me before it's too late but how? I got up heading to Tisha's bed I crouched beside it searching frantically underneath for any clue that would tell me what was going on. I felt a cold metal box quickly pulling it out. It had that butterfly mark but there was something different about it. I placed my palms on the dark mark and I felt a rush of energy flow through me . I shrieked moving away from the box, my palms red. "The hill, the full moon, that dream, the sculptures, this symbol's explicit resemblance to my birthmark it can't be a coincidence" I muttered to myself. I pushed the box back underneath her bed. "I can't forget this!"I said loudly, my head hurt so much and so did my heart. All my life I have lived in a bubble never wishing to ever leave, now it's finally time to get out of it before I am forced out . I sat on my bed taking my journal I began making notes and connections of everything that has happened so far and just when nothing seemed to be making any sense I remembered the story Colin told me about those creatures, maybe , just maybe this is connected to them. " Don't be delusional Serena your smarter than that it's just a myth" my subconscious hinted. Myth or not Colin knows more about those creatures, the school even Triston and the others than I do , hopefully he would not think I am crazy and would help me, his my only hope understanding any of this. I thought of Triston, the way he kissed me, the way he looked at me, how could all that not be real? But, it was real maybe not for him but for me, every moment with him, with all of them was real to me . I decided to stop the self pity and get a good night's sleep hopefully tomorrow would bring less heart ache. I got up heading to the bathroom, nothing beats a good warm bath before bed. Tisha was not yet back and I was very grateful for that . I lazily combed my hair leaving most of the knots still in place. I wore my pink flowery night dress crawling into my bed and within minutes I was fast asleep.
The room was dark, the ground cold, I couldn't see a thing. I heard faint noises from a distance, blurry images coming into view . "Olivia! " One yelled gesturing that I come towards them. I walked slowly and carefully feeling around the dark room, everything felt strange. I suddenly felt a presence behind me, " whose is there? " I whispered, I still couldn't see a thing but I knew I was not alone. " Who is there I would not ask again" I said folding my hands in a fist . Everywhere was quite,too quite. something wrapped around my wrist pulling me out of the dark room. I was so startled I tripped landing hard on my butt. " Liv are you okay? " Someone said behind me, a voice far too familiar " Tisha? " I said turning to get a look at the person her dark brown hair covered her face, she gave me a hand effortlessly lifting me up. "You okay Liv?" she said with a smile her hands still in mine. I hugged her tightly " oh Tisha I'm so happy you're here, were are we?" " Okay?" She said pulling away. "When did you dye your hair?" I asked quite confused, she looked amazing with brown hair but I still loved her orange curls more. " What are you talking about? " She asked tilting her head to get a better look at me. " I mean you're hair it was orange Tisha " I said equally confused. "Did you hit your head Liv? I have never had orange hair and why do you keep calling me Tisha " she said pushing her hair backwards, there was a scare beside her left eye and her tattoos they were all gone. I stepped back looking at her she looked like Tisha but just wasn't. I looked around us and we were in the forest the trees so tall I couldn't see the sky above us ."Liv should I get help?" She said, her beautiful blue eyes scanning me. " No, I.. wait what did you call me?" I said looking at her. "Olivia I think I would call they others" she said walking away. "No wait!" I said reaching out to touch her shoulder but she disappeared . I looked at my palms and they were covered in blood, I suddenly felt breathless , the trees above me circling. I heard loud voices which I could not make out what they are saying then everywhere went quite. I fell to the ground my hands trembling " You have more strength than you think something terrible is coming, Michael is coming and only you can stop him you are the only way" I looked up and there she was, Olivia. "I don't understand I don't know what you want from me but I don't want to be part of it " I cried, she looked at me her eyes held an emotion I could not understand. "Dear Serena, you already are " she said touching my cheek, her palms felt very cold. "Who are you?" She smiled letting her hand drop to the ground. " I'm a big mistake" she said tapping the ground three times. "Time to wake up" she said "please.." I fell through the ground the sand above collapsing on top of me.
