Everything was dark, it was cold and humid. Then I saw a beam of light from a point, it started to become brighter and I could not see anything. I found myself in the middle of nowhere. I didn’t know what was going on. The last thing I remembered was me spending time with my friends at a camp. There was no sign of my friends or any of my things. I slowly got up and started walking. The sky was not normal, it was purple, because of which I didn’t even know what time of the day it was. All I saw was a straight horizon.


 I suddenly started to hear voices but didn’t understand them. I looked behind, above and beneath but saw no one around. I started panicking, I thought I was being followed. I still kept walking and then I heard the sound of rumbling from behind. I didn't want to look behind but I did. The ground was falling apart, I was completely confused, only after a few seconds my conscious started working, and I ran like hell, I didn't look back at all. The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer but I didn't stop running. But alas I couldn't outrun and was caught inside the fall.


AFTER FEW HOURS

I felt very dizzy. I could not believe that I was still alive. I was inside a cottage, I saw something moving inside and I fell asleep. After some time I got up. I came outside the cottage. Something didn't feel right, I had a weird feeling like something was going to happen (AGAIN!!!). the vegetation around me was completely different. I never saw anything like that. I went close to one of them. I didn't know if it was a fruit, a vegetable or a flower. As I was about to touch it, I heard a loud noise. I turned around, there were people running and they were coming towards me. Before knowing what was going to happen, I saw a huge shadow behind me. The people in front slowed down and stopped moving ..


The shadow started moving. the person in front of me tried to tell me something but I did not understand what, he/she was trying to tell me. But I did understand one thing that I should not move at all, their faces said it all. We stayed still for at least a few minutes, after which the crowd started moving. After that, they came towards me. they started talking to me in a language I did not understand (I thought it was Japanese). They suddenly tied me with a rope that was not looking normal. I was taken as a captive as if this was all because of my fault (which is true). I was not taken back to the cottage, but to another place, which I obviously had no idea. It looked like a cave. When I went inside ( when taken inside forcefully!!), I saw beautiful clusters of crystals of every shade everywhere. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Then suddenly the rope started to glow ( it was crazy)


 After a few minutes of walking, they dropped me in front of a dead end. The wall had a lot of drawings and paintings. It depicted something which didn't make sense at all. It looked like something out of the world ( on a second thought I didn't know which world I was so who am I to judge) the people ran out as soon as they dropped me. Now I was scared to the core. I didn't know what was going, what was their purpose of leaving me here?


Nothing was happening around me. I stayed like that for a long time, not knowing what to do, due to which I fell asleep. I slept for a long time. After waking up I was shell shocked. The drawings on the dead-end were no more. No object that was able to cut the rope. I tried to find something that could help me cut the rope, but could not find anything. So I left it and started to find a way out of here, but it was of no use. I was roaming in circles the whole time. After many attempts, I stopped to take some rest. I started feeling hungry and thirsty, but I couldn't do anything, so took a nap. After waking up, I was completely shocked, the picture reappeared again.


This time I saw the drawing carefully. I was trying to grasp every minute detail I could ( I was making up fictional creatures looking at those pictures ). After a clear observation, I understood a little bit, it looked like a prophecy. Suddenly the drawings disappeared and reappeared with another " slide" of paintings, my mind wasn't working (I thought I started hallucinating, without any food or water ), but it was happening right in front of me. It was like the paintings were trying to communicate with me. I could see many things happening, from a murder to a person flying off into the sky. After the paintings stopped showing me anything more, all the paints gathered in one place and formed a shape (I guessed it was 4d!). I tried to calm myself. Now I felt way hungrier than before.


With all my courage and the energy that was had left in me, I started to walk. I tried to find a way to get out of here and find food. As I had plenty of crystals around the cave, I used them to cut the rope, it worked successfully. After which I tried to make some kind of weapon out of it. I found many insects and berries ( i didn't feel good eating them and did not know if it was safe to eat them). I felt a lot better. I suddenly heard thumping. It felt like an elephant ( i didn't know if they existed here). the thumping got very close, I wanted to run but I just hid behind a cluster. The thumping sound reduced, I felt it was very close. The creature quietly walked, as if it knew it was being watched (it looked like a mix of a rhinoceros and an elephant, it was huge). It looked really creepy, it looked like it was made with dead human skin and bones. It had 4 eyes looking in every corner. I thought my time was up.


I accidentally felt an urge to sneeze ( and I did sneeze ) I knew my end was near. This was the same creature that the people saw and were scared of. I started to run. I did not look back at all. I prayed, that the creature should not follow me ( but it did not work). After running I thought I lost it but I got stuck in front of the same dead end. I was cursing in my head. I could hear the thumping .. the paintings appeared again and it made a shape of a hand. I didn't know what I was going to do, I put my hand in that shape. Then suddenly the whole cave started to move, the rumblings started to grow bigger, the dead-end started to move. When I tried to see inside the cave I could see only a strong, bright light being emitted from the other side. Suddenly I heard my favorite song (????????). and I heard loud footsteps that were coming towards me.


I stood up with full of anxiety and shock, my alarm was ringing in full volume, the sun was very bright as usual. I saw I was on my bed ( shouldn't I be inside a tent and a sleeping bag in a camp with my friends). My mind wasn't working. My mom opened the door. she started yelling at me (I could not understand a word that she said). She came inside and turned off the alarm and gave me a tight slap with which I completely woke up. I looked outside the window, the sky was blue as ever ( I felt it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw in my life ) and looked inside my room where my mom was cleaning. I got up and gave her a tight hug ( and even cried a little) she did not know what was going on, but I felt so relieved, I never felt so happy waking up from my sleep. ( thinking how could something be so realistic, when I almost felt like I was going to die). I quickly got ready and rushed out of the house.


I ran as fast as I could to my school. On my way I saw something glowing, it was very unusual. It was something very bright being emitted from a bush, it almost felt unreal. when I went close to it, I saw a cluster of crystals .......
