Fire, yet so dark... it's hot yet cold, where am I? I hear... A baby crying. 

Explosions, screaming.

A woman, a woman and two men.

Both voices play in my mind.

Where am I? Why? Who are you?

"Elena... your not safe here, I'm sorry... but I have to-" a woman speaks to me...

"They are comming!" a man, he bursts througt the door, what door?

"L, we have to ge-" another man?

BANG!

My eyes spring open, sweat dripping off me, my heart racing.

For the past month the same dream, the same wake-up, I am scared of sleep, I don't want to see that dream again.

The first round of Duel Testing was over, the next round was in two days. I was into the next round.

Please... don't leave me here alone...

"Elena... I'm so sorry... I didnt mean for this happen, Elena your not safe here... Elena..."

"Elena!" I slam on my desk to see the class staring at me,

"The classroom is not a place for sleeping!" Mr Elworth yells, "Eyes open,"

"Yes sir," I hide in shame.

This time the dream was different... I remembered just alittle more.

Who was that? 

A woman's voice that sounds so familiar but not...

What happened, why am I not safe?

I walk down the corridor, why is everything so loud?

Echoing through my mind. Every locker slamming, every work spoken, I hear it all.

I burst through the side exit and walk up to the roof of the building.

I take a huge breath, stay awake.

"Stay awake!" I yell at myself.

"Nice tip." 

I turn around quickly to see Ashton.

I sigh, "Just you,"

"What do you mean just me? I am offended," He adds,

"I mean... I thought you were, never mind. What are you doing up here?" I ask,

"Following you, and what are you doing up here?"

"Trying to stay awak- hey! Followin me?" I question,

"I need to ask you something," He justifies,

"Okay, what is it?" 

he begins to walk closer to me, as I walk back, I soon hit the railing and he is so close,

"What are you doi-"

"I need to know... do you remember when you first arrvied at the school?"

"uh... yeah, wh-"

"Do you remember the schools meeting?" 

"Yes, what does this have to do with anythin-"

"Do you remember why it was cut short?"

"A storm wasnt it?"

"...I see," he steps back,

"You see what? What is going on?" I interogate,

"Nothing." He lies,
