*CH*2*HOLLOW*

       Consumed by nothingness , that's how I felt but I wasn't scared, I welcomed it, the darkness, it was peaceful, I wanted to believe I was in heaven but I knew better than that, my eyes felt closed and yet they felt open , my lips couldn't move and yet it felt like I could speak a thousand words, my hands were dancing in the darkness, feeling the nothingness and for what felt like forever, I was just floating , not moving,not speaking, what's worse is, I was alone , completely and utterly alone, then I could hear the gentle whoosh of the wind, I could lulling me deeper into the nothingness and perhaps 'forgetfulness' ,like a sirens song, I gave in to its magnetic pull and like the siren itself, all it seeks is to devour, I suddenly felt vine like hands wrap around my ankles and wrists , threatening to tear me limb from limb,and as if that wasn't enough, I could suddenly hear voices , so many voices at the same time, crying out for help from their torment.

    My head felt like it was about to explode, I wanted to cry but I couldn't, it's like I didn't have eyes anymore ,I couldn't feel them anymore, I wanted to scream but I couldn't, my lips felt sealed.

       'what is going on?'

Everything was happening at the same time, the darkness, the hands, the voices, it was too much, it's like something somewhere was forcing me into submission, something was forcing me to accept death and as I realized that I knew, I just knew that something was horribly wrong and I needed to get out of there, wherever there was .

         I went into the deepest parts of my mind and imagined myself, I saw my face and I closed my eyes and breathed in and out and I yelled with everything that I had ,I yelled ,I wanted out, and I wanted out now, I refuse to give in to whatever wanted me dead or in pain ,to whatever this was.

         "Fe!!"

      'what was that?'

          "Mofe!!!!"

It sounded like a soft whisper, like a caress on my skin and i raised my head, and breathed in like I was dying, I didn't even notice that I couldn't hear myself breathe till now.

          "Mofe, Mofe!!"

There it was again, this time the voice sounded urgent and familiar.

     'Who could it.......'

Rachel, its Rachel, as I realized who it was, I was suddenly blinded by light. My eyes had finally opened and I could see...... my lecture hall?

        'What?'

         "Mofe, Mofe ,Mofe!!" I turned to face my best friend , a big smile rose on my face and I gave my best friend the biggest and tightest hug in the history of hugs, because she's the one who rescued me, she saved me from the...........Wait , what?, I can't remember anything, what was I even trying to remember in the first place? It was probably nothing.

           "Mofe, that's enough, I'm good" she pulled herself out of my embrace.                                       "Why are you hugging me like you haven't seen me in years and what happened to you today?"

       "What do you mean what happened, do I look bad?"

        "What do you mean do you look bad? First of all, you went to that party yesterday that I told you not to go to without me because I was sick but you did anyway and got drunk and I had send my driver to get you and take you home, Secondly, you walked into class today looking like something that walked out of the zombie apocalypse , The third thing is you walking in here with that wretched thing you call an outfit, I mean how in your head did a worn out orange t-shirt and ripped red shorts look good to you and don't even get me started on the way you've slept through all the classes today, do you have any idea how annoying you're getting right now? I'd kill you if I could"

           "What are you talking about , I did not sleep, I paid attention to every single class plus this one, and I don't remember putting on orange or red, I wore black on black , which I am still wearing and I apologise for going to the party last night but I couldn't miss it, my crush was there, you know , David?"

By the time I'm done, Rachel is looking at me like I've grown five heads.

        "Mofe, are you sure you're okay?"

        "Of course I'm sure, Rachel, I should be asking you that question, you've mentioned so many absurd things today, you're confusing me."

        "Mofe, stop, stop joking around ,I'm serious, I need you to think, I need you to close your eyes and think, you never told me about David last night, you aren't wearing black and you've been sleeping through out, ask anyone"

          "Rachel and Mofe ,is there something you'd like to share with the class, it seems the conversation you two have been having is one of interest" Mr Save looked at us for a full minute before continuing his lecture ,then he turned to look at me.

          " Oh and Mofe , don't ever sleep in my class like that again, I only allowed it because this is your first time and I'm aware of the party of last night" Then he turned to face the class.

        'What?'

     "Rachel, did I really sleep?" She nodded

      "So, all those things you said are true?"

       "Yes, Mofe"

       "That means that......that.....that there is something.......... something..... wrong..... with.......me?"

         "I need you to think Mofe, what is  the last thing you remember?"

I closed my eyes ,took a deep breath and dug into my mind ,chanting to myself 'remember' and I got sucked into a memory, I could see myself waking up from bed with sweat all over my body and I'm pulled out of that only to see myself in the bathroom, looking at two purple dots on each side of my neck, then I'm pulled out of there into my dining room, I'm standing ,my head downcast and my mum is shouting at me, then I'm pulled out of there and I'm outside, my hand stuck on the door then suddenly I'm flying across the compound and I'm pulled again but this time I'm back in the lecture hall, I let out a breath I didn't Know I was holding as I turn to look at my best friend Rachel who nods her head at me and smiles, like she knows what I'm thinking and I stand up abruptly and run out of the classroom.

           'i don't know what is going on,but I'm going to find out'

As I run towards the gate of the school ,I get the worst feeling of dread, then emptiness and then I just feel hollow and I know that there's something horribly wrong.
