I woke up with a pounding headache. My body sprawled out on a cold floor. My mind dizzy and dancing before I slip into the dark once more.

“Ugh, who hit me over the head with a hammer?”

I groaned as my mind came to life again. I blinked at the brightness of the room. “Who’re you?” I sat up. In front of me sat a teen girl with dark brown hair, a strong jaw and pounds of makeup on her face. As I squinted I noticed the freckles around her nose. “Hey! Don’t ignore me! Who are you?”

“Grace, who are you?” She glared at me. “I don’t have to tell you nothing!” I rolled my eyes. I glanced around and noticed the empty white room. “Where are we?” Rude girl looks around and looks frightened. Then a bright purple portal appears in the middle of the room. We back away. A tall and muscular man falls out. He has blonde hair with a scar on his right cheek. He blue eyes look a mixture of fear and anger. A child with pale blue skin and white hair follows.

The blonde hold the child while getting into a fighting stance. Rude girl seems to notice and quickly says. “Wait! Wait! We are just as lost as you are! Don’t attack!” The child’s ruby red eyes are glowing.

Then it hits me. Ruby Red. A child with magic that society shunned out and tried to kill. Then that means the blonde was Hero. A boy born for perfection, to be a hero. Only to get lost in lies. I look back at rude girl. Emily, that’s her name. A mean and hot-headed girl who doomed her enemy then saved her. They were all characters. My characters.

Another portal opened and three figures spilled out. A lanky guy, Jake. A muscular woman with several knives, Jess. And a short guy with glasses, James. They were from my apocalyptic story. Jake, a weak guy with a talent for science and medicine. Jess, the warrior with a ice heart. James, the everything guy.

Another opened and out came my pride and joy. Crystal, her dark skin and blonde hair with ice blue eyes. A girl lost to the world and isolated.

They were mine. My creations. I fell into the darkness once more.

I awoke to quiet chatter. And Crystal leaning over my face. “She’s alive!” She shouted out with glee. “Duh, we checked her heartbeat,” said Emily. Hero walked up to me, Ruby followed.

“What do you know?”

“Huh?”

Jess stood up beside him. “You obviously know more then the rest of us, so spill.” She held one of her daggers to my throat. “I don’t know anything I swear!” I lied through my teeth. Ruby’s eyes glowed. “Liar!” She yelled. “Tell us what you know!” Yelled Jess. “Come on guys ease up on her, she just woke up.” Said Crystal. “Come on! Even I tell she’s suspicious!” Yelled Emily.

“Maybe it would be best to let her heal first?” Jake.

“No, she could be waiting for the perfect time to strike.” James.

“I say we kill her” Ruby.

“Ruby no!” Hero.

“What’s the matter with you all?! She’s innocent just like us!” Crystal.

“She could be fooling us!” Jess

“Stop!” Me.

“I’ll tell you everything, just shut up please.”
