Chapter 1

Awake and Alive

"Obliviate"

Sabrina Tala's world was fading away before her. She was becoming dazed and confused, as if she were a bird that had accidentally slammed into a window. Her thoughts began to race out of her head, forgetting everything that had just happened. What was happening to her? Then finally everything faded to black.

What seemed like seconds later Sabrina slowly opened her eyes to the sound of footsteps and voices drawing near her. She forced her eyes open and began to look at treetops, that's when she realized she was laying on a leafy forest ground. What the hell just happened? Where am I? Whose voices are those? Many questions began to form in her head, and she saw many blurred figures standing above her.

"We need to take her to the hospital." said a familiar voice.

"Sabrina, Sabrina dear, are you ok?" another strangely familiar voice said to her.

"M-mom?" Sabrina's small voice said. Her blurred vision had now begun to come into clear focus, and she was startled by the fact that her mom, dad, sister, and cousins were all standing around her.

She heard sighs of relief coming from her family whose faces looked completely terrified.

"Oh thank God she's alright." Her Aunt Rebecca said.

"Did I faint?" Sabrina said in a cautious voice.

But from the looks of her family it seemed something far worse had happened to her. Sabrina began to sit up from the dirty forest ground, and saw that around ten police officers were standing around her as well. Something is defiantly wrong. She thought.

"Lets get her to the hospital." Somebody finally said.

Once they reached the hospital, the doctors began to perform all different tests on her. The time seemed to fly by quickly. She was in fear and confusion, something was defiantly wrong.

"Mom, what the heck happed to me?" Sabrina asked her mom in a shaky voice as they began to leave the hospital.

"Wow." Her mom sighed. "You really don't remember any of it do you sweetheart?"

"No, honestly I don't know what you're talking about. So…what happened to me?"

"Well, you where gone from the campsite for two days. We didn't know where you went. We thought maybe somebody had taken you…" Her mom became choked up with tears, and she had trouble finishing. "Or something much worse, but luckily we found you! We had search parties and everything…"

"Woah-woah, hold up." Sabrina interrupted her mom. "We were camping? And I was…lost?"

"Yes darling, our whole family went camping here in Britain."

"We are in Britain…? Cool!" Sabrina had never been to Britain before…well until now. She lived back in California in the United States. Except now wasn't the time to obsess over camping, why the hell couldn't she remember any of this. "And why don't I remember any of this?"

"Oh, the doctor said you simply fainted and hit your head on something hard. Mild case of anesthesia, but they say your memory will return in a couple of days."

"Oh…so, how did I go missing?" Sabrina had around a million questions to ask, as they left the hospital and they headed off in taxis.

"Sabrina, I really don't think now is the time for questions. Lets just forget about this whole thing, alright sweetie?" There was a bit of urgency and fear in her mother's voice. Damn it, she wanted her questions answered now! But there was something in her head telling her to just obey her mother, even though she hardly ever obeyed anything anybody told her. Sabrina was very independent, and liked to speak her mind, but something was holding her back from arguing with her mom. "Please, please don't speak of what happened, all of our family want to forget it too. Please."

So what? She was just expected to forget that the whole effing thing that she couldn't remember had ever even happened? This is crazy! Why do they want to forget this? She thought to herself. With the respect she had for her mom, she decided that maybe it was best for her to forget this. Her family was acting as if nothing had happened, so what was the point?

And with far too many questions the Tala family got onto a plane and started back home to California.

Three whole months had passed by since "The Incident," and Sabrina had basically forgotten that her whole "fainting spell" had ever even happened. Her family never mentioned it to anybody, and they never brought it up again. So naturally, she had put it behind her as well. But one thing had always bothered her. The doctor back in Britain had told her that she should have her memory back from "The Incident" in a few days tops, but it had been months now. The most she could remember from that day was waking up on the hard forest floor. Oh well, she thought, it doesn't even matter.

Thanksgiving break was coming up in a few days and her and her friends always did something fun for the holidays.

"Solution solved!" said Kendal-Lynn, who was Sabrina's best friend since the 2nd grade.

Kendal-Lynn was talking to Sabrina and their other friends Jessa, and Tori in Spanish class.

"What?" they all answered

"I know where we are going to go on vacation for Thanksgiving! We're going to go to ENGLAND! How freaking awesome is that?" Kendal-Lynn cheered.

"Awesome!"

"Cool!"

"What are we going to do there?"

Kendal-Lynn continued, "Where going to go camping! Then were going to go tour London, and also…"

"Woah ,woah, woah, wait!" Sabrina interrupted. "Did you say camping? C'mon you know my mom is sketchy about that." After "The Incident" Sabrina's mom didn't like anything to do with large trees, or leafs. She wanted her to stay as far away from a forest as possible. Obviously Sabrina thought that rule was a load of bull.

"Well…don't tell her about that. Just say that we're going to go tour London and such. Just make something up, you're good at that." Kendal-Lynn said.

"Sabrina, what is it with your mom and camping? You guys used to go camping all the time." Jessa said to her.

"Umm, you know she freaks out about bear attacks." Sabrina lied. She didn't even tell her best friends about "The Incident", she didn't want to freak them out. Besides, she was going to England, no matter what her mom said. She missed the forest, she missed the smell of fresh air, what her mom didn't know wouldn't hurt her. So as she went home from school that day Sabrina told her mom that she and her friends were going to go to Florida. Her mom bought the story thankfully, and as soon as she knew it they were off to England.

Tori, Jessa, Kendal-Lynn, and Sabrina had a fun plane ride to Britain. They were so excited that they were all in a different country. Then they took a cab to The Swinley Forest. It was remarkably beautiful; Sabrina wondered if this was the place she had camped at when "The Incident" took place.

A blanket of snow had covered the grounds. It looked as if winter had just begun. The girls got out of the cab, and set off into the forest.

"Where's the campground?" Questioned Tori as the four of them began to walk away from the trail, into the forbidden wilderness.

"We pick the campground!" Kendal-Lynn said excitedly.

"Umm, are you sure we are suppose to be going off of the trail?" Jessa said in a worried voice, as the four continued to walk through the snow while avoided some trees.

"Is this legal? And besides its freezing out here!" Said Tori

"Don't they make the trails for a reason? How are we going to find our way back!" Sabrina stated.

"Oh…my…god, stop complaining you three! Its fun to be a bit adventurous sometimes, anyway, nothing bad is going to happen." Began Kendal-Lynn. "If you guys are too chicken to keep up, go back and wait for the taxi! Seriously chill out!" The other three decided that it was a little fun breaking the rules, what could possibly happen? This was their vacation, and they would make the best of it! It was going to be a blast!

Once they found the perfect spot next to a small lake they set up camp. Sadly none of them knew how to put up a tent, so that took around an hour to completely put together. Once they all got settled in, Jessa made a nice warm bonfire, and they all began to roast hotdogs, and marshmallows as the sun turned pink and began to set over the treetops. They were all having so much fun as the sun went down. They were laughing, singing along to songs, gossiping, eating, and telling scary stories all around a nice warm campfire with each other. They didn't even notice the cold ground until it got dark, and the fire began to fade.

Later they all got ready for bed, their tent was surprisingly warm compared to the cold air outside. Sabrina changed into her long sleeved black V-neck, and her school colored sweat bottoms, which were blue and gold. There were two tents set up, one was for sleeping in, and the other was to place all of their belongings. Around midnight Tori and Jessa were fast asleep, it had been a long day. Kendal-Lynn was listening to her Ipod wide-awake, and Sabrina was trying to go to sleep but couldn't.

"Kendal-Lynn?" Sabrina went to inform her friend

She took an ear bud out from her left ear. "Yea?"

"I'm going to go brush my teeth, and walk around for a bit. Be back in five."

"Ok, but its cold outside."

"Oh its fine. Be back." Sabrina unzipped the tent, went and grabbed her toothbrush, toothpaste and a bottle of water from her bag. Then she was off. She zipped the tent back up, and then the cold air hit her as she stepped outside. Damn it's freezing! She knew she was stupid for not remembering a jacket, but she didn't care at the moment. She walked toward the small lake, which was lit serenely by the moonlight, and hidden from some trees blocking its path. Sabrina began to brush her teeth, and once she had reached the lake she was ready to spit. So she spat in the water, and rinsed her mouth with her water bottle. "Aaa" she let out a sigh of relief from that wonderful feeling of nice fresh, breath.

Sabrina knew she should be getting back to the tent, but the forest was just too beautiful to go back right away. So she sat down on a log right by the lake. She had almost forgotten how much she loved nature, and the beauty of the grand forest. The calming sound of crickets chirping, frogs croaking, and owls hooting made Sabrina close her eyes and hum along to the sweet melody of the forest. Even the freezing cold didn't stop her from enjoying that peaceful moment.

When all seemed well, there was something startling and out of tune from the rhythm of the forest. Her eyes jumped open to the sound of something landing on leaves. Kind of like somebody or something just jumped out of a tree. Something large, not like a raccoon, but something dangerous.

She felt as if she was being hunted. Something was behind her, something only five feet away, something not friendly. She didn't want to turn around, fearing what might be behind her, so she sat there frozen looking at the trees on the other side of the lake...waiting for something bad to happen.

"'Ello beautiful."

Shit. The voice that spoke was a man's voice, which had a rhythm to his British accent. It was not an animal, but she knew she was still in trouble. This could not be good. Then the man spoke again.

"Now, we jus' keep on runnin' into each other, luv."
