Kat was in total darkness. She couldn't feel anything. She couldn't even feel her feet touching the ground. She tried to scream, just to hear something, anything, but no sound came out. Then there was a click and a candle flame shot up as if someone had flicked a zippo. There were whisperings all around her. Kat felt like she was in a crowded room but she still saw only the candle flame. "Candle in the darkness" a voice said. It was an old voice. It seemed very powerful. Was it calling her or stating a fact? "Help me.", said another. It sounded so childlike and innocent and something else. Kat couldn't figure it out. Then she felt herself lying on a flat surface and sat up quickly to find herself in her dorm. "Jinnian", she called softly in the dark room. Obediently, a smallish, purple lizard flew to her side. "Help me pack. We're going home."
