Chloe pov

The room was completely dark, not one little inch of light was spared. I tried to find a switch but came up empty. I could feel something in the dark just waiting to grab me and pull me under.

Then something changed in the feeling of the surrounding air. It felt happier but I could also feel the sadness. Slowly I saw a light emerge from the left side of what I presume is just one big empty room. The light was blindingly white and gold. It crept closer and closer while I tried to back away into the darkness in fear. I know it sounds stupid but the light scared me, I don't know if it was just because in the last few weeks I felt like darkness has become a closer friend to me or what but I just knew I couldn't let the light touch me.

"Don't fear me" I hear a voice say. The voice was ringing in my head like bells; the soft soothing sound of bells.

"I have come to show you what you have, fear, and want the most. I can't possibly hurt you; you are in control of me. I can only try to make your decision as easy as possible."

"I don't understand. What do you mean?" I cry out feeling like no more than a tiny child.

"Please don't fear me child. Just let me help." The voice pleaded. I watched as the light got closer and closer. Illuminating the room on its way. I looked around for an escape, only to find none. While looking for an exit I notice that the room is the opposite of what I expected. The corner closest to me is crowded with furniture, beautiful, expensive furniture, and pictures of calm beaches. The right side corner was filled with medicine, needles, a big metal table, and metal chairs. It looked lonely and cold and I wanted to stay away from that corner. The left corner where the light came from was filled with trees- all fake, but still trees, plastic coups, dirty cloths, and dirt, LOTS of dirt. The last corner was fuzzy and hard to see. The light hadn't reached it yet so its contents were still a mystery to me.

Seeing the room light up from the light gave me the urge to shout and scream until I was taken away from this place. It is like a place for a bipolar. So many different emotions were coming at me all at once and numbness was taking over me from the last corner. The longer I stood in the same place the worse it got. I had to leave now!

"It is your choice, child. Do as you may, but you can not run away from me." The bell-like voice said. I saw the light slowly retreating, taking all of its emotions and feelings with it. I mentally thanked the voice and tried to calm myself enough to wake up. It took what seemed like hours before I was calm enough to drift back to consciences. Happily, I floated between reality and dreams enjoying the bliss of the moment.

Seconds before reality completely took over my body I heard the soft bell like voice say," don't fear me child all I want to do is help."

I woke up to see a hand flying towards my face. I screamed and it stopped abruptly and went down to rest on my bed. I looked away from the hand to see the one and only Victoria Enright! She was sitting on the side of my bed staring at me weirdly.

"What?" I said trying to figure out why she was sitting on my bed and why she was starring at me.

"What? You mean you don't know what!" she was starting to freak me out. I mean really I JUST woke up! Did she really have to yell all the time!

"No and I don't appreciate you yelling at me. I just woke up how could I know what's happening?" I said trying to restrain myself from yelling, "Wait, Were you just about to slap me!" I couldn't believe it! I know we weren't best friends but I really had thought we had made it past the whole "lets all kill Chloe" stage!

Tori looked away shyly and said, "Yes I was going to slap you." Oh my…. I can't believe the nerve that girl has. Does she really think that I'm going to just sit by and watch as she tries to hurt, or kill me, AGAIN! Nope not this time! I'm not just going to pretend like nothing happened… or was going to happen. I opened my mouth to start my rant when she cut me off. Oh yeah, this better be good!

"Listen Chloe, before you go all macho tough girl on me let me explain!" I stayed quite waiting for her amazing excuse. "Yes I was going to slap you, but only because you were freaking out like some crazy physico. So you're going to have to put your whole "stop being such a bitch, Tori" speech away." Apparently I looked disappointed because she added, "so sorry for your inconvience."

I looked at her trying to detect any false information. As far as I could tell she was telling me the truth, but that's not saying much because tori is very guarded and has probably mastered her poker face by now.

"Okay fine I believe you, but that still doesn't explain why you were yelling at me."

"Like I said you were acting like a crazy physico, I thought you would have realized that."

"w-what happened?"

"Well you started out just muttering something. Then you started screaming, loud enough to wake up the whole house…. Which you did by the way, then you started kicking and throwing stuff off the night table." I looked around and saw that what she said was true. The room looked like a mess! The blankets were on the ground, a vase was completely smashed on the floor, and feathers were spilled out all over the room from what used to be my pillow. I noticed Tori looking at the room along with me. Her face showed that she was annoyed but the look in her eyes made me think she was somewhat …. Impressed?, "anyway" she went on, " everyone came running into the room and by then you were in full on "killer with an axe" mode. Throwing stuff, ripping pillows, everything. Simon came over and tried to calm you but that just seemed to make it worse- more screaming. Simon finally got the hint and stepped back and then you just stopped." Tori had a glazed over look in her eyes and was staring off into space or wherever Tori goes. "You were just laying there. You looked well… dead. I ordered everyone out and after some amazing persuasion from moi, they left. That's when I walked over to you and well you seem to know the rest."

I just sat there stunned with what I just heard. Had a really done all this? I didn't even think… oh my god! What's wrong with me? I'm a monster! I can't believe I am capable of all this!

I saw Tori get up from the corner of my eye. She gave me a half- hearted smile then turned to leave. I knew I should follow her but my legs wouldn't work. I really did try to get up but I was just too weak. From the looks of this room you seem plenty strong. It's true but how can I be so weak and so strong at the same time? What could have made me do all of this?

That's when I remembered the dream. I remembered how terrified I was and how all of those emotions swept over me like a hurricane taking out everything in its path. I curled up in a ball and cried. I felt so drained, like every part of me had just been taken out then forced back in. I was jolted out of my pity party when I heard a knock at my door; Followed by a deep voice that could only belong to Derek.

"Chloe, dinner time. Andrew has something to tell us and wants us all there."

And with those words I braced myself for one hell of a ride.
