..."strange..."...

...****************...

...In school, Erina walked hastily in the vast hallway of the Gessefille campus, as the bell have already rung. Upon entering, she bumped into her childhood friend....

"Watch where you're going!" she shouted while tackling him out of the way.

"Whoa you've got attitude today" Matthew said laughing.

"i'm very sorry…"

She apologized.

"It's one of those days isn't it" Asked Matthew.

"What do you mean? I don't even know you! Anyways I've got places to go" Her voice faded as she ran towards the powder room to wash her face.

"Don't know me?? We spent our childhood together!!" Matthew shouted.

"Who are you" She said whilst staring onto the mirror, drawing circles with the moisture of her breath, feeling both anxious and confused.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

3 weeks since then Erina has been plagued with nightmares of strange people, places she's never been before, but they all have something in common. It's not normal.

About a third of their way in, Erina was startled by a bat and nearly fell off a shallow hole. Thankfully she didn't slip and just bragged off about how fast her reflex is.

"HAHAHA see? I'm like spider girl with my fast reflex!" she said while imitating the tingling sensation of the spider sense.

...She was still in an uncomfortable position, her right hand grabbing on a slimy rock and the other one supporting her body, together with Matthew's eagle like crackling laughter caused by a phlegm stuck in his throat that only made her laugh even more that she finally slipped and hit her head on a big stone and lost consciousness. Matthew panicked and a train of bad thoughts started circling his head and started calling her name out but after a few attempts with no respond, he finally jumped in with her and his skin turned pale when he lift her head off the stone, her blood started dripping from his hand And it was at this moment he knew, he messed up....
