Chapter 1

"My brain hurts, I can't seem to focus on anything, can anyone help me? They have to let me out of here. I'm not crazy, I'm not, I swear I'm not... I'm not crazy!" Alex was screaming this so loud his voice was cracking. Elisabeth watches in horror, this has all seemed like a wild nightmare. Now she was looking at her husband through a barred window through a door. He was in a padded cell wearing a stray jacket. His face beet red and the veins in his neck were bulging. The way he looked right now made her think of Jack Nicholson in the shinning, it gave her goosebumps thinking about it. She didn't understand why this was happening to her, did she drive her husband crazy? Was this somehow her fault? They had been married for ten amazing years and come to think of it he never really showed any signs of being crazy... Did he? What would she tell their son? She told the orderly outside the door she was going to smoke and would be right back. She got outside and leaned back against the cool brick wall, she then lite a cigarette and began to calm down. She had to get some fresh air she could tell she was about to freak out inside looking at Alex in that room. 

 "It's me again Alex!, are you ready to come with me?" The girl is real or so Alex believes. 

 Elisabeth heads back inside.  She hears the muffled sound of faint screaming and double times it back to the room. As soon as she enters, Elisabeth knows it's her husband. He is screaming, "No i will not go back with you, you're fake leave me alone!" He is screaming this and his face is formula red looking. "I want to stay with my wife!" He screams. Then all a sudden he goes quiet and just stares into space.

The room went pitch black all that Alex could see was the girl she walked right up to him. The girl reaches out and says, "come now, Alex." Alex screams at the girl, no I will not go back with you, you're fake leave me alone!" The girl stares at him with her white eyes. Alex pleads. "I want to stay with my wife." Now the girl is right in his face she says, "oh I am very real and it is time." Alex is no longer in a padded room or an insane asylum. Alex is in a cave all alone. It's dark but he can see the moonlight shining in the entrance of the cave. He moves slowly toward the entrance and looks out into a deep forest. He feels the night air on his skin just like feeling it for the first time, he smiles. He walks over to a tree and rubs his fingers down the rough bark, its real alright he thinks. "You've come to save me, Alex?" Alex looks over and it's the little girl. "Who are you? And save you from what exactly?" Alex asks. He notices the little girl seems to have a glowing aura around her.
