Spooky Little Girl:

Ann awoke to the muzzled sounds of what she thought were organs. She slowly fluttered her eyes open. All she could see was black waves floating over her head. The woman tried to get up, but found her body to be as stiff as dry wood. Her eyes darted around for any help what so ever. She spotted the little rabbit girl lying beside of her. She too looked awake. Ann tried to inquire about her well-being, but no sound came out of her mouth.

I have to communicate to her somehow, she thought.

I’m fine, a small voice said in her head. Ann’s eyes darted around for the source.

Was that her?, she thought. The woman noticed her dark eyes locked on her. She fought back feeling crept out back that empty stare of hers. Ann wished she was somewhere else at this moment.

It’s okay, the tiny voice insisted, I’m going to help you. Ann’s eyes looked at her bewildered at that declaration. She didn’t even know how to communicate back to her.

Focus your mind on me, the voice told her, Block out everything else around you and focus only on me. Ann pressed her lips together and tried to block out everything else from her mind. The sounds around her deepened as she strained herself.

I right in front of you, the tiny voice said, Follow me. Follow me and take my hand. Ann focused to the point of giving herself a headache. She suddenly noticed a hand coming towards her in her mind. It grabbed onto hers and squeezed on tight. The woman let out a loud gasp.

Can you her me now?, the tiny voice asked her.

Yes!, Ann replied back in her shock. How are we talking like this?, she asked.

You are connected to me through my hand, the rabbit child said.

What do you mean?, Ann asked.

I can’t quite explain it, the child answered, Don’t let go of me, okay? Ann focused her strained eyes on her.

Why are we here?, she asked.

We are waiting, the rabbit girl answered. Ann gave her a puzzled look.

Waiting for what?, she asked. The rabbit girl’s eyes rolled up to the ceiling.

My master is coming for us, she announced. The woman didn’t get where this was going.

Your master?, she asked.

That’s right, the child replied, We are to wait here until he arrives. Ann looked rather uneasy about all of this.

Look, she tried to say, I can’t stay long. I have a life to get back to. My son and my husband will be calling to check on me soon and…

It’s okay, the rabbit child cut in, Just let it take you.

But…, Ann spoke up.

Just let it take you, the little girl insisted. The woman laid there with nothing more to say. This only added onto things that she didn’t like about this whole quest and she doubted that the kid would give her any straight answers to her questions.

Lady, one more thing, the child spoke up in her mind. Ann darted her eyes back over at her. The rabbit child stared her in the eye. This time, she opened her mouth and said something. The woman couldn’t hear the voice behind those lips, but she understood what she said.

“No matter what happens, don’t let go of my hand,” she told her. Ann narrowed her eyes as if to say she understood her. Suddenly, the sounds around them grew louder with a pulsing thud. The Goth woman could feel her whole body shaking. Her eyes darted all around her.

What’s happening to us?, she asked.

Don’t let go!, the rabbit child cried. Ann squeezed the girl’s hand as tightly as she could and shut her eyes. The waves pumped forward as they swallowed them up. Ann could hear her heart pounding up to her ears as her body went tight all over.

Suddenly, there was nothing.

When Ann opened her eyes, she found herself floating above a hospital parking lot.
