Lilac yawned, spreading their arms out wide. What a weird dream. Mrs Rue was probably waiting for them to get up to tell them the plans for the day. School was meant to start up and she wanted them all to attend.

They slowly opened their eyes and couldn’t help but scream out.

Jason bolted upright at the sound of Lilac’s scream. Normally nothing would stop him going to one of his siblings. Except for one thing – he had no clue where he was. His siblings were nowhere to be seen. He was surrounded by plants he had never seen before.

Karla’s hands twitched, reaching for something she knew she had left behind. It was Lilac’s rule that she couldn’t carry her weaponry during ‘day’ hours. Her hands froze when she touched cold steel and wood. That was… unexpected.

Brandan lay there with his eyes shut, ignoring the world around him. Even Lilac’s voice wouldn’t make him move, except to cover his face with his hands. He remembered the mist and falling, deciding he’d rather have nothing to with it.

Blake was actually the first to awaken. Their first instinct was to investigate the new area they had found themself in. It hadn’t taken long to find the small lake near them, eyes narrowing as they stared at what should have been their reflection. Eyes darker than their own stared back.
