AN: The song Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish is either above or on the side. I recommend to listen to the song after Andi's dream. Also, if you've read the original ending of Flash of Bravery, Andi has something inside her arm which causes her to make her "a weapon". I have changed that around for creative purposes. That storyline will still happen, just instead of a red dot inside her arm, it's something in her head. You'll find out what it is soon!

Because the space around her was white and hazy, it made the figure in front of Andi, the person—a man, maybe?—scary

Because the space around her was white and hazy, it made the figure in front of Andi, the person—a man, maybe?—scary. He was just a silhouette, darkness with an outline of someone maybe familiar to Andi that she couldn't quite think of who exactly. He reminded her as someone from a horror movie—this whole scene reminded her of a horror movie actually. But specifically, this dark figure, he scared her because, somehow, he had a hold over her.

He was talking to her. He was saying something but all that Andi managed to hear are pieces of hollow whispers, irritating her ears. The whispers were nails on a chalkboard, scratching the inside of her ears. Andi tried to cover them, but she can't. She looked down at her arms to see that she can't move them, not even her hands, nor her fingers.

When Andi looked back up, the dark figure was standing right in front of her. Andi almost jumped out of her own skin at the dark figure's sudden appearance, but she couldn't move. She couldn't even scream. But seeing him up close, Andi could better make out his facial features. She caught something on his face, almost what would represent as a smile. With all the brightness around them both and how close he stood in front of her, she could make out an evil smirk.

The man raised his closed hand, holding something inside of it. Andi started at his fist, but she could only see the outline due to the haziness. Then, Andi started becoming dizzy at the sight of the darkness moving around in front of her like misty clouds. It caused her vision to go blurry.

Andi—glued to her spot in the white room—was forced to wait to see what the dark figure held in his hand. It was almost like he was torturing her, letting her go insane over what he must have. Like that object itself had a hold over her, even though the man already did. She tried to ask him about it, she tried to scream at him, but no sound came out.

Soon enough, the whispers stopped and all Andi heard was a gentle, short sound beep.

Then, the man opened his hand to show a small, gray metallic device. It appeared to be thin, but it was big enough to hold many buttons on it. The next thing she knew, pain went shooting straight down into the center of Andi's brain, al the way down to the core of her body and to her feet. Someone took a sledgehammer to her skull. An axe to her spinal cord.

Andi let out a primal scream—or at least she thought she did. She opened her mouth wide in an attempt to do so, but she couldn't hear herself let out even a whimper. Andi was in pain and in shock. But she was also in fear.
