My mind was blank and all I could see was the dark. No sign of light can be seen in the room. It felt lonely but at the same time comfortable. I sat down letting my back touch the black, smooth wall as I slowly slid down. Why was I here?

For some unknown reason, tears began to fall from my eyes as I looked down sobbing hardly. I don't understand. Where am I? Why was I crying? I wasn't feeling sad, I wasn't feeling any emotions in fact, but here I was. Bawling my eyes out.

"Mitzy."

I looked up hearing a faint and feminine voice call out from somewhere in the darkness.

"Mitzy."

There it was again! I stood up looking around still seeing nothing but darkness. Whose voice was that? Who was this Mitzy? My heart was racing and my head started pounding. I didn't know what was happening but everything around started moving quickly. It felt like the world was rotating and it made me dizzy. I took a step back but as soon as my foot moved, a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders from behind and pulled me down a hole that seemed to ate me alive.

"Hex!" My eyes shot open and I sat up straightforwardly. I was breathing heavily and my heart was still racing. Where am I? What happened?

I looked around and saw a stack of boxes on the corner and a dusty, empty room. "Are you okay?" I looked beside me and saw my Mom with a soft and worried look plastered on her face. It made sense, we just moved in yesterday and I was in my new room. I started to calm down as my breathing returned to normal.

"Why are you here?" My face went blank as I asked her showing no emotions at all. Mom looked a little taken aback and placed a hand on her chest. "Well I was about to wake you up because you're transferring to your new school when I heard you muttering a name. You kept calling this 'Mitzy' then the next thing I knew, you were screaming. I got worried and—"

"Well I'm awake now, aren't I? You can leave my room now." I said pointing at the door. Pain and sadness flashed in her eyes but I couldn't care less. I just stared at her blankly still pointing at the door. Mom looked away nodding before silenly walking out my room. I took a deep breath shaking my head.

I stood up to take a shower when something hanging by my door caught my eye. It was the new uniform hanged up with a plastic covering it to protect it from the dust and dirt. A new school huh? I'm not really...
