chapter 1
I slowly started opening my eyes, all I could see was an orange glare. My head was killing me, and I was freezing. When I was finally able to completely open my eyes I realized I was in the woods there were orange leaves everywhere and the sun reflecting off of them.
I looked down and there was a rock where my head was. That explains the headache. What was I doing in the woods? How did I get here? I got up to my feet with a grunt. My whole body felt numb.
"Nikki!?"
The voice made me jump almost making me fall back to the ground. I looked up to see a boy almost running at me. He cuped my face making me jump again. He had blue eyes and this curly blonde hair.
"Are you okay? Look at me."
He was looking at me with scared and curious eyes. I couldn't talk I didn't know what to say I don't know who he is.
After what felt like forever of him staring at me I finally was able to talk.
"Who are you? Why are we in the woods?"
Now that I'm really thinking I really couldn't remember why I was here or where here is. I can't remember anything. What is wrong with me. The boy let me go and Just stared at me for a minute.
"Nikki what are you talking about, you know who I am. Are you ready? We need to get to the garden as soon as possible. It won't be long until someone notices us."
What the hell was he talking about? Before I could say anything are you talking about?"
I had to be in some kind of bad dream or something, a very vivid dream.
"Nikki why are you acting like these you know who I am. Did you hit your head when we came through?"
He started looking at the side of my head. This is crazy what the hell is going on? First thing first I need to get off these damn woods and find somewhere warm.
"Look I don't know what's going on. I don't know what happened but I can't remember anything before me waking up Just now. I'm guessing my name is Nikki since you seem to know what you're talking about."
The more I talked to him the weirder he looked at me, but I didn't care.
"I do know that I'm freezing and very very confused and would like to warm up and clear my head"
" No what we need to do is leave this area right now before they come. We need to get to the garden. The boss said to go straight to the garden no stopping. "
What boss? And who's boss? What is going on? Am I really going to follow this guy into the woods? I guess it does beat staying here alone and completely lost.
" Fine how far is this garden or whatever?"
"its not to far remember the boss said he would get us close as possible."
I had no idea what he was talking about. but I guess I have no choice right now but to trust him.
"fine but first I should at least know your name."
he rolled his eyes clearly getting annoyed. he started looking around us off in the woods then looked back at me.
" my name is Hayden we've been friends since we were born. I'll explain everything to you once we get to the gar...."
he was cut off by a dark getting shot into his arm. I turned around to run then there was this Sting in my arm and I looked at my shoulder to see a dart.
everything started spinning and I think I fell to the ground right before everything just went blank.
