"I have sumthin math like next period too, come on it's a long way," I said standing up and picking up my tray and the tray of some literer sitting next to Jake, oh right ax. "Uhh, Mellie are you okay" I asked waving one hand in front of her face. She was just sitting there staring off into space. I got right by her ear and then reconsidered but did it anyway. "Mellie!" I yelled she jumped and fell flat on her butt she glared up at me and stood dusting herself off. I shrugged "you weren't responding, i had to check and see if you were alive". I smiled and walked to the half door where we set our trays. Mellie got up and followed me. Once we were out of the door we went into the not so crowded hallway in fact no one was there.

"Uh does this seem a little weird to you?" Mellie asked glancing around and taking an unconscious step back. "Actually yea it does" I replied skimming the halls looking for somewhere to morph normal people don't do this when nervous; I guess im not exactly normal anymore. " What's wrong" Mellie asked staring at me curiously darn she saw me looking around wait that's normal I'll tell her im paranoid, and maybe crazy talking to myself like this. "Uhh" I said what is wrong with me, suddenly a shadow moved along the wall closer and closer it came I held in a gasp as vice principle Chapman came around the corner. "Mellie cassie what are you two doing out of class" he asked a smile on his face contrasting greatly to the glint in his eye. I did not like that glint. "Umm sir she's uh new and we just got back from lunch so we'll be on our way," I said in a polite voice leading Mellie away from him. Mellie yanked her arm back when he was out of sight "what" she said "was that". Umm what should I do she was the girl Jake told me, see Marco in midmorph, she seemed okay but I could not let Chapman get her. I breathed I had to do this maybe she would listen to me. I led her toward a bathroom saying, "I have to tell you something" she looked at me weirdly then just followed.

When we got into the jasmine scented bathroom, oh wait did I say jasmine I meant ass. Scrunching my nose, I asked, "So what's up" well she started talking but I wasn't paying attention all of a sudden everything went quiet there was a shimmer in the air behind her. Suddenly a small balding man stepped out of a gash that seemed to be cut into the air. My breath caught in my throat as a wrinkly elf like man slowly walked toward me, he was wearing white robes, and had a three toothed smile on his face. I slowly backed toward the door keeping my gaze on him. He stayed on his slow trancelike walk toward me. I did the smartest and yet now that I think of it the dumbest decision, I turned and ran right out the door pass classrooms filled with motionless students and empty corridor after empty corridor. Finally I saw a vibrantly almost cartoon looking exit sign it was unnaturally large but I shook it off I had to get out. Reaching it I pushed on the door the dark blue paint was chipping off slowly then all of it started breaking apart and falling onto the floor in a large blue pile in front of me. The pile reassembled itself on the floor spelling 'GO THROUGH THE DOOR'. There was no way I was listening to a pile of paint chippings and so I turned and ran the other way. The floor sighed in a defeated way and broke apart I fell through the darkness into the basement. I landed hard on some rock my ankle was hurt but I had to find my way back up. Holding my breath, I pulled myself up using the wall for support. I walked along what seemed to be a carved in stair case holding on the wall so as not to fall down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I saw a row of cages with people inside of them their faces frozen in different shapes of horror, fear, exhaustion, and agony mothers, fathers, and children reaching out between cages to hold the others hands. A man with a look of delight on his face was forcing a young girl around my age with red hair onto a pier. Being the ever-curious one, I took a fearful step out of the shadows. No one moved a let out a sigh of relief and continued.

I walked onto the pier and gazed inside of the pool. It seemed to be filled with liquid mercury. I slowly put my hand inside the water. Making a disgusted face, I pulled it out to find some nasty hand sized slug stuck to it. I screeched I was tough but hated any kind of bug. I waved my arm around but it stayed seemingly frozen, I scraped it against a wall but it stayed. I started to whimper when it finally fell with a plop onto the floor. Shuddering I took plenty of steps back putting a distance between 'it' and me. I backed into something very sharp it ripped a solid hole in my new shirts.

I turned around and looked into the naval of what seemed to be a large about 7' tall scaly dinosaur thing. It had a beak like a bird and large talons for feet, it was also covered head to toe with blades hmm I wonder how its moms ever hugged him. Then I wondered why anything would want to hug him, her, or that. I turned and right next to me was a giant centipede slug like thing with red jelly eyes and rows upon rows of fangs kinda like the cone heads teeth except it was all fangs. I let out a small eep and fell to the floor backing away from both of them despite the electrifying pain running up my leg. I fell into hell that's all how am I gonna get out. I sat in a kneeling position and prayed then all of a sudden, my ankle stopped throbbing. I cracked open an eye then another to find myself surrounded by my "friends" from lunch. I stood up and walked toward one of them he seemed to be frozen I poked him in the cheek. "Yoo-hoo Jake are you awake, hahaha" I laughed nervously Jake and awake rhymed I wonder if I was going crazy. Suddenly faster then I could blink I very sharp object was at my neck and Jake was awake hahaha I did it again. Listen yeerk do not move a muscle and I will not remove your head someone or something said in my mind wow a telepathic alien I wonder if that's what has this blade against my neck. "Don't hurt her," said Marco coming up behind ax but that couldn't be Marco 'cause I was dreaming and he wasn't feeding me strawberries. "Strawberries" asked a curious Jake looking suspiciously at Marco with a raised eyebrow oops apparently I said that out loud. Also, this knife or whatever should have scared the shnit out of me but I seemed to be floating. It took me awhile to realize I was in a state of shock. Then a rip appeared again and that creepy dude stepped out. He looked apologetically at me and said, "It is time you know your past, present, and future".
