"Dad.. where are you?" Ellie walked around in the completely white place with her black attire making her stand out above all. It was pure nothingness, and the only thing that appeared to be something was herself and whatever she was walking on.

"Dad? Please.. I need you back.." She raised up her arms and pulled back the things that were covering her arms, revealing the many cuts she had placed upon herself in the past. She let some sort of noise escape her. By this time, she knew the cuts should have healed. A few remains such as a bit of darker skin was OK, but not the full cut as if she had just made them. And now the cuts were back.

"But... how?" The self-inflections suddenly began to bleed .. madly. Blood poured from the cuts, like a streaming waterfall, painting the ground of the white nothingness in crimson red. "Oh my god!" Ellie stepped away, but the blood simply continued to flow; it reached her knees before they slowed down any bit.

"Dad! Help me! Please!!" A single tear was shed from either eye and El looked around the area for any signs of her father. She gasped loudly when she noticed two forms rising up from the pool of blood. As she wasn't sure of what they or it was, she attempted to communicate with the presence rising from the blood.

"H-hello?" Ellie took a step foward, which in turn created a ripple effect that headed towards the two creatures. She got a better look at them now. Two animals, she was sure of it. One looked like a badger.. the other one she wasn't to sure on. That moment didn't last long, as a memory of her dad and herself when she was younger flashed through her head. She clearly remembered her pointing out animals and fishing with her father and her father laughing and telling his daughter about the animals and things.

'That's a fishhawk, El. This is a very good bird and power, but a very bad sign. It means you should beware of a potentially dangerous and lethal accident. Heh, at least that's what everyone believes..'

"Why would a Fishhawk and a Badger be coming up from my blood." And suddenly, they both screamed out at her.

"BEWARE!"

"AAH!" Ellie shot up in her bed, her heart pounding and her body covered in sweat. "It was.. just a dream." When she said this, she slowly pulled back the sleeves to her black pajama shirt to check for any cuts. There were still signs she did it, but by now, they were healed; she just had to make sure it was a dream. El looked over to her digital clock. It read exactly 1:00.

"Since I'm up, I might as well get me something to eat." She climbed out of bed and rubbed her eyes for a moment. Ellie continued towards and into the kitchen, where she first opened the refrigerator door and pulled out the carton of milk, setting it down on the counter. After pulling a few cookies from the assigned cookie jar and placing them next to the milk, she passed by the refrigerator to get a cup, but stopped and looked at the calendar that hung from a magnet in the shape of dice.

Today was the trip to technology enhanced zoo, the first of its kind. A few of the teachers had decided to work a learning project into it, by having them examine the animals and write reports and see how the technology helped the zoo, all fitting a different teachers needs. Ellie pointed to the date on the calendar: May 13. Something about the date made her spine tingle, it didn't feel right for some reason. As if something was going to happen. But she was way to tired to give a care at the moment. El shrugged it off and went to get a cup from the cabinet and pour herself some milk. She grabbed the cookies, taking her drink and returning back into her room.

The two things were set down on Ellie's table side counter. She climbed back into bed and grabbed one of the cookies, nibbling on it for a moment. A few thoughts of what could go on today crossed her minds, such as seeing a gorilla or a chameleon, and getting to see how the technology enhanced the way the caretakers took care of the facility. Her had happened to peek over to her clock, where her eyes stayed glued at for a period. Apparently, it was broken. The LCD display still read 1:00, as if she never left the room.

"Another thing broken in this house.. I'll fix it later." Ellie took a small bite out of the cookie and sipped her milk before she got comfortable and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep almost instantly. Ellie wouldn't have time to get the clock fixed, if all continued to way things did. No more than a couple seconds after she'd fallen asleep, the clock decided it wanted to change times. The current time read 1:80.
