Sorry for the short chapter, but I needed to get this one going!
I wanted her to shift through time already, I knew that was when it would get exciting! Hope you like it!

Avalon was definitely correct. It was a very, very long night. She spent hours at her computer, working on her presentation for her grand video project on child abuse. And in the after hours, she tried to make a small dent in her new project, assigned my Haddens. But got nothing done.
The whole thought of making her own dragon species was just completely silly. All she could do was fiddle with her necklace that was given to her by Haddens.
After about an hour of staring at the blank pages in her notebook, she stuffed them inside her desk drawers and shut down her laptop, packing up all of her equipment for tomorrow, sliding her cameras into their rightful pockets and packing extra batteries, putting her laptop in its bag and sliding the power cable inside.
After that, she folded up her tripod and placed it down next to her equipment before trying to get some sleep.
It seemed near impossible but she slowly slept through the night, no nightmares.
The next morning came with a very cold breeze. Like it always does after it rains. The after effects from the storm last night left a sweet smell in the air that Avalon always loved.
Her alarm clock went off and she slammed her fist on it with an angry growl, knocking it off the table and onto the floor. "Not yet..." She moaned.
"Avalon! Up time!" Her mother said, knocking on her door.
Avalon didn't respond right away and it made her agitated. "Avalon!" She banged this time.
"Alright! Alright, I'm up!" Avalon shouted and threw her shoe at her door that was next to her bed. With a very long yawn, she tossed the covers off of herself, feeling them fall to the floors.
The cold air struck her like a punch in the stomach but she sat up, nonetheless, stretching her sore limbs and swinging her legs over her bed and standing up, rubbing her neck as she did so and let out a heavy yawn. All she could think of was the heaviness she felt on her shoulders and in her head. It was such a long night.
But Avalon pushed those thoughts away as she crawled over to her dresser and pulled out new clothes for the day. Starting with a simple, black, long sleeved turtleneck with a white jean vest and white skinny jeans with black knee high converse.
She rushed to the mirror and began to brush her long black straight hair and run her fingers through its silkiness every few seconds before pulling it back in a high ponytail, her streaks looking closer together and sticking out more.
After putting down her brush, she underlined her eyes with black eyeliner and put faint brown eyeshadow on her lids before covering her lips in a simple clear gloss.
Avalon slipped her make up into her bag and stood up and pulled on her black jacket with a hood and grabbed her equipment, running down the stairs and into the dining room, where her mother waited for her with something to eat.
Avalon looked at the chocolate granola bar on the counter and smirked before peeling the wrapper away and nibbling on it.
"So, how did that Dragon project go?" Jenna asked. Avalon sighed. "Horrible. I couldn't think of anything."
Jenna patted her daughter on the head before smiling. "Don't worry, sweetie. You'll think of something."
"I hope you're right, mom." Avalon sighed. "I'd better go. See ya after school, mom." Avalon jumped up and threw the half eaten granola bar in the trash can before walking out, carrying the tripod in her arms and three separate bags on her shoulders.
Avalon barely got the door open by herself before she made her walk down the sidewalk and towards the school grounds.
And then it started again. That voice.
Avalon's walking began to get slower as she felt the cool air tickle her hands and cheeks before she heard a whisper in her ear. "Time is up... You will come, Avalon." Her heart thudded in her ears as she began to walk faster down the sidewalk.
"You're just a voice. Go away!"
"It is time... Time to meet your destiny."
Avalon looked up from the sidewalk and saw the skies beginning to blur... All the blue began to melt away as the skies became a dark gray... and then black. The background around her began fading away. The ground was now cracking around her.
"It isn't real... It isn't real!" Avalon shouted over and over again but when she looked back up, all she could see was the ground disappearing.
Bits and pieces of the ground around her began to crumble and fall into a black abyss below. The sound was like cracking on a wall.
Avalon could only stare as the circle of ground underneath her got gradually smaller with every passing second. And soon, it fell down.
Avalon began to plummet down into a black abyss, screaming for her life as she could only watch as her vision faded away and it all became black.
