Onyx_Rayne

Rayne wasn't sure where she was.  The place seemed unfamiliar and strange.  Usually, things were dark and foreboding, but right now, for some reason, they were bright.  Too bright. 

Actually seeing where she was, what was there or even if she was alone was tricky.  All she knew was that she couldn't open her eyes much.  That is, until she suddenly felt the light start to dissipate.  

Eventually, she felt like the light wasn't so bright, opened her eyes and saw...

Rayne wasn't sure what to think.  "Am I imagining this?", Rayne said, as she noticed the figure in front of her.  She was silent for a little while, before she said, "Why do you look like me?"  

The figure didn't say anything, just watched Rayne.  

"Who are you?  Where did you come from?"  

Again, the figure was silent (which more annoyed Rayne, than anything).  "Why won't you answer me?!" Rayne called out, as she moved closer to the figure.  Before she could reach it, though, it disappeared.  

"What the..." 

"As much as I'm glad to see you fighting back, I'm not the one you should be annoyed with."  

Rayne turned to see where the voice was coming from and noticed the figure had reappeared.  "What do you mean?" 

The figure was silent for a little while, before saying, "Do you enjoy your new abilities, Rayne?"  

"I'm not really sure.  I haven't had a chance to..."

 "figure it out?" the figure finished saying.  The mysterious figure paused, then said, "Yes, I'm sure you haven't.  There's a reason for that."  

"Yes," Rayne said.  She paused, then said, "How did you know what I was going to say?"  

The figure was silent for a while, before saying, "Right now, that's not important.  All you need to know is that you'll have an opportunity to escape soon.  Take it."  

Not too long after that was said, the bright light came back.  It got brighter and brighter, and... 

Rayne looks around her and notices she's alone.  She also hears a strange, loud noise and covers her ears.  She isn't sure what's going on, but doesn't like how loud the...alarm? is.  

Rayne lays where she is for several minutes, unsure of what to do.  She then remembers what she'd been told, about being able to escape, and gets up.  She does her best to ignore the loud noise, as she focuses on the door, opens it, and runs out of the room (into the empty hall). 

She isn't sure where to go, so she just runs down the hall in front of her.  That is, until she hears voices and quick footsteps.  When she does, she ducks into an open door (until she feels safe), then keeps going.  

After running for a while, Rayne stops to catch her breath and notices the hall splits off.  She looks to the right and to the left (several times), trying to figure out which way to go.  When she hears footsteps, seemingly coming toward her, though, she just picks a direction and goes with it.  She's able to run down the hall to the right, as well as halfway down the left fork of another hallway, before she hears, "There she is!  Get her!"  

Rayne can feel herself breathing hard, as she tries her best to move quicker. Unfortunately, though, she can feel herself getting slower the more she tries.  

Eventually, she stops moving altogether (too tired to move any more) and tries to catch her breath.  Before she can, though, she hears, "Don't worry.  She's not going anywhere."  

Rayne looks up and sees one of the creatures in front of her, smiling at her, before everything goes dark.

For several hours, Rayne lay enveloped in darkness (unable to hear or feel anything).  She wasn't sure where she was or what was going on.  She also felt like she was everywhere, and nowhere, all at once.  

Then suddenly, her body didn't feel so strange and she started to feel her arms.  Sometime later, she started to feel her legs.  Once she could feel all her limbs, she started to hear faint voices.  Rayne couldn't really tell what was being said, or who was saying it, but she was sure she wasn't alone.  

Eventually, Rayne feels her eyes open for a second or two,

before closing them (The light now feeling brighter than before).

"What's wrong, Rayne?" she can hear the familiar voice say.  

Rayne is silent for a little while (Not sure what to say and feeling a slight headache, from how bright the light felt), before she says, quietly, "It's too bright."  

"What is?" 

 "The light's too bright!," Rayne says, a little louder (and somewhat annoyed), this time.  "Turn it off!"  

There's silence for a little while, before Rayne hears, "Why would I do that?  You can't get used to it that way."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "Open and close your eyes a few times.  You'll be fine."  

Rayne keeps her eyes closed for a while, before she opens them.  After a few times, her eyes adjust and she feels like she can keep them open.  

"Now that your eyes have adjusted, sit up on the bed and try and close the door."  

Rayne isn't necessarily in the mood to listen to what the creature said.  Yet, at the same time (for some reason), she doesn't feel like she can stop herself from doing what it wants.  So, she sits up, looks over at the door, and thinks about closing it.  After a couple attempts, she's able to close the door half-way.   Feeling tired, she waits for food to be brought to her, and after eating, loses consciousness.

Many more attempts were made, by Rayne (over the next several days), to open the door (with varying results).  Sometimes she'd be able to open the door a little bit and other times, it'd move back to a previous position.  After each attempt, she felt tired and, after eating, would rest for several hours.  Each attempt got her closer and closer to completing her task, and, eventually, the fateful day arrives of her being able to fully open the door.  

Rayne isn't sure how to feel about it, as she looks over at the door for a while (feeling slightly tired, but nowhere near as much as she had been).   Part of her is glad she's able to do it, but another part of her wonders why she'd been asked to open the door and even been given her abilities in the first place.  

As she's looking at the door, she hears, "Excellent job, Rayne.  You've been coming along well."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "I'm sure, fairly soon, you'll be able to both open and close the door with ease."  

There's silence for a little while, as if the familiar voice isn't sure what to say.  Eventually, though, Rayne hears, "You must be hungry.  I'll bring you something.  Then, after you rest, I'll have you try closing the door."  

After food had been brought (Rayne looking over as the creature leaves and returns), and ate, Rayne felt like she needed to sleep.  So, she closes her eyes, and soon loses consciousness.

The food cart is brought back a couple more times, before Rayne feels willing, and hungry enough, to actually eat it.  When she does, though, she realizes her suspicions were correct.  She notices she feels strangely calm, and is willing to do what the creature wants her to do.  Even though she's curious what she might've been given, before she can even think about it, she hears, "Now, Rayne, I want you to, one at a time, float the plate, bowl, and mug to you."  

Rayne looks over at the plate, bowl, and mug (the creature is holding), as she imagines each one of them floating to her and, (after a try or two) grabs each of them (as they reach her).

"Wonderful job, Rayne.  I knew you could do it."   The familiar voice pauses, then says, "Now, I want you to try and unlock the door to this room."  

Rayne looks over at the door, as she imagines unlocking it.  It takes her a few tries, but she is eventually able to do it.  When she does, she hears, 'Very good, Rayne.  Now, try and open it."  

Rayne feels somewhat tired, and isn't sure how it'll go, but she tries to open the door.  Unfortunately, though, after a few attempts, the door stays closed.  She yawns, as she hears,  "That's alright, Rayne.  It was a solid attempt."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "We'll try again later.  For now, you need to rest."

Rayne is alone for who knows how long, before she hears footsteps coming back into the room.  When she does, she doesn't look to see who it is.  She already knows.  When she hears something being pushed, though, she does look over...and notices a cart with some food: A ham and cheese sandwich, French Onion soup and a mug of her favorite tea.  

When she sees it she realizes how hungry she is...but hesitates. 

 "You must be hungry," Rayne hears the familiar voice say.  "It's been, at least, a day since you've eaten anything."  

Rayne stays silent, as she tries to figure out if taking any of the food is a good idea or not.  Yes, she's hungry, but she doesn't totally trust the food.  So, instead, she just looks down (as she does her best to ignore the enticing aromas nearby)

Not too long after, she hears, "Hmmm.   How interesting.  I was sure you'd be hungry by now."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "Oh well, I'll just take this away for now."  Rayne then hears the cart being wheeled away, somewhat wondering if she made the right decision.

Rayne wasn't sure how long she'd been floating or by herself.  All she knew was that, eventually, she heard footsteps coming back into the room.  Not too long after that, she hears the familiar voice sigh, then say, "Still floating, I see.  I was sure you would have, at least, been tired enough to come down".  

Several minutes later, Rayne feels herself lowering and then, feels the bed under her. 

 "There you go.  That's much better."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "I wonder if you have enough energy left to... test out your new ability, though."  

Rayne doesn't look over at the creature, or say anything.  She's tired, scared and wants to be left alone.  

After awhile, Rayne says, as tears fall, "Go away!  Leave me alone!" 

 "You know I can't do that.  It's not my job." 

 "I don't care!" Rayne says, bitterly.  "Get out!" 

Rayne doesn't say much of anything else after that, just lays on the bed and cries.  At one point, she hears the other, unfamiliar, voice say, "Leave her be for now.  She'll come around, eventually."  

Rayne wakes up and looks around her, noticing she's alone, yet again.  This time, though, she also notices the room is empty. 'That's strange,' Rayne thinks.  'Where did everything...'  

Rayne suddenly feels herself floating again (quicker this time), and tries to grab onto something...before she remembers there's nothing there.  At one point she hears, "Calm yourself, Rayne.  It's the only way you can control it."  

Rayne can't tell who's talking to her, but, at the same time, right then, she doesn't care.  Instead, after a couple minutes, she focuses on trying to calm herself.  So, she takes a deep breath, or two, and feels herself start to sink (which she is glad about).  

Once she's pretty much on the ground, Rayne (for some reason) feels like she should look around the room some more.  When she does, she notices the door and wonders if she can float herself to it.  So she thinks about it and then feels herself floating (as she moves her arms and legs, to swim through the air).  

After a little while, she gets close to reaching the door,... only to have it move out of reach.  When that happens, Rayne swims closer to it...only for it to happen again.  This happens several more times, before Rayne hears, "It's time to wake up, Rayne."  

Rayne jolts awake and quickly looks around her, as she notices everything as it has been.  She also realizes, though, how strange she feels and how blurry everything is.  After blinking a couple times, though, her vision clears...and she notices the door is lower than normal.  

She looks down and screams, as she notices she is actually floating.  Rayne flails around, in an attempt to lower herself, as she hears laughing and the familiar voice saying, "What's wrong, Rayne?  Don't you like your new ability?" 

Rayne doesn't answer, as she feels her breathing quicken (as panic sets in), and tears start to fall.

"It's alright, Rayne.  You're not the first to panic, when realizing you can actually float.  In time, and with practice, though, you'll get used to." 

Rayne looks over at the creature in the room and says, "What did you do to me?!"  Rayne pauses, then says, "Take it back!  I don't want to float!"  

She hears more laughing, before the familiar voice says, "I'm afraid I can't do that Rayne.  You're the only one who can get yourself down."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "I'll be back later to see how you're doing."  

It was dark, cold, and time seemed to move slower than normal.  Rayne also felt a sensation like she was both floating, and falling.  She had no idea where she was, or even what day or time it was.  All she knew was, even though she wanted to, she couldn't wake up.  It was like there was a blanket, encompassing her, and she couldn't get out of it.  

After awhile, she started to hear faint, occasional, beeping and wondered where it was coming from.  She also thought she heard talking, but wasn't sure if she actually was, or what was even being said.  She wished she could open her eyes, and see what was going on around her, but, try as she might, she was still stuck in the darkness.

That is, until she starts to feel warmth resonating through her body, and can hear the beeping and talking more.  At one point, her eyes open for a second, and she briefly sees light.  This happens, off and on (a few more times), before Rayne fully opens her eyes.  When she does, the first thing she notices is that she's alone. 

'That's strange,' Rayne thinks, as she looks around the room more.  'I thought I heard talking'.  

The second thing she notices, is the beeping machine beside her.  She isn't sure what it is, though, or if she even wants to know.  The third thing she notices, is the IV in her arm, and the half full bag above it with...some kind of... strange looking green liquid.  It reminds her of the stuff she'd been given to help with her headache.  Right then, though, whatever it is, is making her feel strange and she doesn't like it.

Rayne tries to sit up (from the bed she was laying on), but feels dizzy.  When that happens, she lays back down and waits a little while, before she tries again.  This time, though, she doesn't feel so dizzy and tries to stand up.  When she does, she realizes she isn't too stable, and is reminded that the IV is still in her arm.  

As she holds onto the bed (and does her best to steady herself), she tries to think of how she can remove it.  After awhile, Rayne decides she'll try and pull it out.  So, she grabs the needle with her left hand and slowly begins removing it from her arm.  After several minutes she succeeds...only to suddenly hear the machine start to beep like crazy, as a sudden wave of dizziness (so bad it makes her fall to the ground and almost pass out) hits her.  She sits there, for awhile (hoping the dizziness will go away).  

Before it fully can, though (or she can even figure out what happened), she hears frantic talking and footsteps in the room.  She then feels herself being picked up and put back on the bed, and the IV being reinserted, before she slips back into unconsciousness.

Rayne wakes up (feeling much better than she had before), glad she's still in the same room.  Not too long after she does, she hears footsteps walk toward her.  

"How are you feeling, Rayne?", she hears the familiar voice ask.

"Much better," Rayne says.  She pauses then says, "Last night, I..."

"Yes, I know.  Dreams about floating and/or falling are a normal part of the process."

Rayne is silent for a little while, not sure what to say.  Eventually she says, "What are talking about?  I was having bad dreams!  How is that...?"  She pauses then says (as a chill goes through her and she starts to feel dizzy), "Process?  What process...are you talking...about?!"

Not too long after she says that, her vision blurs and she closes her eyes for awhile (hoping it'll help).  She stays like that for, what must have been, a half hour, before she opens her eyes again.  

This time, though, when she looks around, she notices the room's changed.  The same...creature?...from before is there, and is holding the same mug (the one she likes to use for her favorite tea).  Right then, though, Rayne isn't in the mood for tea.  She feels sick. 

"Why are you fighting us, Rayne?"

"Fighting...you?"

"Yes.  Why aren't you allowing the process to happen?"

"What...process?!  I don't...understand!"

Not too long after she says that, Rayne starts to breathe heavier and the mug that the creature was holding, floats toward her for a couple seconds, before it falls and smashes on the floor.  

A minute or two later the room becomes dark and Rayne can hear footsteps, quickly walking toward her, as well as something being pushed (although she isn't sure what it is).  All she knows is she suddenly hears another voice (one she isn't sure if she's heard before), sigh, then say, "I was hoping this wouldn't be needed," before she feels pain in her right arm, and something being taped to it.  

There's silence for awhile, before Rayne hears, "Watch her.  If she starts...come find me."

"I will.  How long...it take to...her system?"

"It should...few hours."

"I understand.  I'll...with her."

A minute or two later, Rayne hears faint footsteps, then, not too long after, fully loses consciousness.

Several hours pass, before Rayne wakes up, looks around her and notices she's...in a void?  

'Where am I?', Rayne thinks.  'What happened to the room I was in?'  

Even though she's alone, and the only thing there is the chair she's sitting in, for some reason, she feels calm.

After several minutes, Rayne notices the door (that used to be in the room), shows up.  She wonders why, and where it might lead, so she stands up and starts walking over to it...

only to find that, after a few surprisingly solid steps, she starts to float.  It takes her a couple minutes to notice, but when she does, she starts to panic.  

'No!  What's happening! Somebody help me!', Rayne calls out, flailing as she goes higher.

She thinks she hears a faint voice, calling out to her, but she can't quite make out what it says.  All she knows is she is floating higher and higher, until...she suddenly starts to fall.  Rayne starts to scream, as she falls faster and faster...and then, suddenly, wakes up.  

Rayne notices she's back in the room she's been in, everything as it has been.  Despite that, she feels pretty shaky and (as tears fall from her eyes), hugs her knees to her chest (to try to comfort herself).  

"It's alright, Rayne", she hears the familiar voice say.  "It was just a bad dream."

Rayne doesn't say anything (not sure what to say), as the tears continue to fall.  There's silence for several minutes, before she hears, "Would you like me to give you something, to calm you?"

Rayne is silent for a few more minutes, before she nods her head and sits up.  Not too long after that, she hears footsteps come into the room, and feels the pain in her arm again, then hears, "There you go.  You should feel a lot better in a few minutes."

"Thank you," Rayne says, softly, after a couple minutes.  She then sits and waits.  

After several minutes, she feels calmer, then sleepy, and soon falls asleep.

There were several more attempts made, over several days, (Each one longer than the last), for Rayne to keep the light on.  Eventually, though, it stayed on and she didn't have to worry about the room being dark anymore.  When it did, she looked around her (not feeling so uneasy anymore), as wondered if she'd be visited again.  She also felt hungry (something she didn't remember feeling for the past several days) and wondered if she could get some food.

"There's a basket of fruit on the table," she hears the familiar voice say.  "Try and bring a piece of it to you."

Rayne sits silently for a couple minutes, before she starts to think about one of the apples.  It takes a few minutes, and is kind of shaky, but she sees it start to float up out of the basket and come over to her.  Once it's close enough she reaches out and grabs it (glad she is, at least, able to move enough to do that). 

Rayne hesitates slightly, before she smells the apple and takes a bite.  It's juicy, slightly tart, and delicious.  After finishing it, she's still hungry, so she decides to try bringing a banana to her.  That attempt is slightly less shaky and, after eating it, brings a pear to her (in an even less shaky attempt).  

"Excellent job, Rayne," she hears the familiar voice say, after she finishes the pear.  "Now, there's a trash can, not too far from you.  Try and throw your fruit remnants away."

Rayne hesitates for a few minutes, before she tries to move the fruit cores and peel to the trash.  Instead of things going as smoothly as they had before, though, they don't quite make it.

"Don't worry, Rayne. It was a solid attempt," the familiar voice says, before it sighs. "It looks like I asked you to do a bit too much, too soon, though."

There is silence for a little while, before Rayne hears the familiar voice say, "I need you to do something for me.  Try and calm yourself.  Take a deep breath in, and then let it out."

Rayne feels somewhat strange, but isn't sure why.  When she hears what the familiar voice is saying, she isn't totally sure if it'll help, but does what is mentioned.  

"Wonderful.  Now, take another deep breath in and let it out."

Rayne repeats the process, then does it again.  She is glad when she starts to feel less strange.  The thing is, though, even though she does, it doesn't fully go away.  At one point, she suddenly hears the same quick moving footsteps from before, then feels the same sharp pain, and, after several minutes, feels calm.  Some time after, she feels sleepy, and, after a little while, feels her eyes close and herself fall asleep.

Rayne wakes up...several hours...maybe, a day, later? She isn't really sure.  All she knows is that it's still dark and she still can't move.  How she wishes she can, or, at the very least, that there's light...

Rayne gasps when the room lights up for a minute.  She looks around her, and notices she's the only one there, before she feels a wave of uneasiness hit her (as the room plunges back into darkness).  

"Very good, Rayne," the familiar voice says. "That was exactly 1 minute and 4 seconds this time!  I'm glad to see my prediction was correct."

Rayne feels herself jump a bit, when she hears the familiar voice again.  Especially since she'd been alone not too long ago. 

"Where did you come from?!" Rayne asks.  "How did you get here so fast?!  I was alone just a couple minutes ago!"

There was silence for a couple minutes, before Rayne hears, "Calm yourself, Rayne.  Your body's not ready for so much stress, yet."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "In time, you'll learn many things.  Now is not that time, though."

A few minutes after she hears that, Rayne starts to feel sleepy.  Several minutes later, she hears footsteps leaving the room as her eyes close, and she falls asleep.

Rayne is silent for awhile, not sure where she is or who's talking to her (even with how familiar the voice sounds).  She, for some reason, feels a bit nervous.  She isn't sure if it's because of how dark it is or...

"You're probably still feeling the effects of traveling here.  You'll get used to it, after awhile," the familiar voice says.

"I do still feel a little strange, but...Wait a minute, how did you know..."

"What you were thinking?" the familiar voice asks.  "As I've said before, I'm unable to answer that."  The familiar voice pauses, then says, "In any case, I'm sure you'd prefer some light in here.  All you have to do is turn it on."

Rayne sighs when she hears what the familiar voice says, about not being able to answer her question.  She's curious what's around her, though, so she starts to...

'Wait!  Why can't I move,' Rayne thinks, as realizes she can't go anywhere.

Rayne struggles for awhile, against whatever it is that is holding her in place (becoming more and more nervous and worried as she does), before she hears quick moving footsteps.  A couple minutes later, she gasps as she feels something sharp in her right arm.  

"There.  That should help calm you," she hears the familiar voice say a minute or two later, as the pain in her arm goes away.  

"What did...you do...to me?" Rayne asks, a few minutes later, as she starts to feel the effects of what she'd been given.

The familiar voice is silent for several more minutes, as if waiting for something, then says, "Now, Rayne.  I need you to do something for me.  I need you to imagine flipping the switch, in this room, and making the light appear."

"Why?" Rayne asks, quietly.

The familiar voice is silent, again, before it says (sounding a bit annoyed), "It's not my job to answer your questions.  It is my job, however, to see if you're able to complete the task I gave you!  Now, try and turn on the light!"

Rayne was silent for awhile, not sure what to say.  At one point, though, she starts to think about how much she wants light in the room, and imagines herself turning on the light switch.  

Suddenly, she notices the light turn on for a second or two, before it turns off (which surprises her).  

"It's alright, Rayne.  There's no need to worry.  I'm sure you'll be able to keep the light on even longer next time," the familiar voice says.  "For now, though, you need to rest."

Rayne wakes up and looks around her, then notices what time it is.  She hadn't realized she'd slept in until then.  

Realizing how hungry she is, she gets out of bed, washes up, gets dressed and heads to the kitchen to make lunch.  She goes to the fridge, then makes herself a ham and cheese sandwich, cuts up some fruit, gets some water, and sits and eats.  

Once she's done with lunch, she notices a note by the phone, to call the repair shop about her car. 'Hmmm.  I must've written this and just forgot,' Rayne thinks, as she dials the number written on the note. 

Rayne listens to the phone ring a few times, before someone picks up on the other end of the line.  When they do, Rayne asks about her car and is told that her car is ready.  The only thing is, that it'll take a few hours before a tow truck will be able to bring it to her house.  Even though part of her is annoyed she'll have to wait another few hours, she's glad that her car is fixed. 

Rayne hangs up the phone and goes about the rest of her day, doing her best to keep herself busy.  At one point, though, she starts wishing she could just go and get the car herself.  'That's silly' Rayne thinks. 'I'll just have to...' 

Rayne feels a sudden strange sensation go through her (like she is lighter somehow), that stops several minutes later.  When it does, she hears the familiar voice say, "Welcome, Rayne."

Rayne sits by the door, still hearing what is supposed to be her favorite show, a few tears falling from her eyes, as she tries to figure out what to do.  She tried, for what felt like hours, to get the door open (even trying the windows, and the back door several times), to no avail.  At one point, she passed out from exhaustion, and was just now waking up (unsure of what to do).  

She feels hungry and thirsty, but doesn't trust the available food or water.  At the same time, though, she knows the only way she'll get any energy is to eat something.  Then she can try and get the doors or windows open again.  

So she walks to the kitchen, gets some eggs and bacon, cooks them, puts them on a plate, grabs a glass, gets some water, goes to the table...and just sits, staring at them.  

After several minutes, Rayne tries a small amount of the eggs. 'It tastes like I remember,' Rayne thinks, as she eats.  After swallowing the eggs, she waits a couple minutes, then tries a bite of bacon. 'This does too,' she thinks, then, again, waits a couple minutes.  When she doesn't feel strange, she decides to, at least, eat the rest of the food.  She then goes and takes a sip of the water, and, after finding out it tastes ok, slowly drinks it.  

After having Breakfast, Rayne sits at the table for awhile, before she gets up and walks to the front door.  She stares at it for awhile, before she decides to try again.  This time, though, the door opens.  

The strange thing is, though, when she first opens it, it's dark out (even though it's still morning).  

Then, after a few seconds, everything is as it should be (Yet, Rayne feels a wave of panic hit her,...)

Transmission interrupted.

Unknown error.

Rayne wakes up and looks around her, not sure where she is.  After a couple minutes, she remembers she's in her living room...and also notices she's lying on the rug.  'Why am I down here?,' she wonders, as she gets up.  As she does, the sounds of her favorite show can be heard and the smell of her favorite tea wafts in the air.  

Confused, Rayne looks around and notices the television is back, and there's a cup of Lavender milk tea waiting for her, on the nightstand.  

'What the heck?  Where did the...And how did the television...?'  

The last thing she remembered was the television disappearing and she definitely didn't remember making herself any tea.  A wave of uneasiness washes over her as she stands, looking between the tea mug, and the show, trying to decide if she was actually seeing what she was. At one point, she walks over to the mug, reaches out her hand...and realizes she can pick it up.  She hesitates for a few minutes, before taking a cautious sip. 

'It tastes ok,' Rayne thinks, but, at the same time, isn't totally sure if she wants to drink more.  Instead, she walks over to the television and repeats the process,...only to find out it is just as solid as the mug.  

Feeling even more uneasy, she quickly walks out of the living room and to the kitchen, where she heads for the fridge.  After hesitating for a minute, she opens the fridge door and gasps.  The last thing she remembered was that there hadn't been much food there, but now, somehow, it's full.  

'What's going on?!" Rayne says, scared and confused.  "This doesn't make any sense!  How is this full?!' 

Feeling the sudden need to leave there, she runs out of the kitchen, and through the living room, to the door...only to find it doesn't open.

"Ah, Rayne, I see you're awake."

"What's going on?  Where am I?"

"I'm unable to answer that." 

 "I do need to know the answers to some..."

"I don't understand!  What do you want with me?!"

"How are you feeling, Rayne?"

"Scared and confused."

"Do you remember anything from yesterday?"

"Yes.  These eyes suddenly appeared and started asking me questions.  My television disappeared too."

"Do you remember anything before that?"

"I remember having a terrible headache, making bacon and eggs for Breakfast, my car not working, having my favorite tea,…"

"That's fine, Rayne."

"By the way, how is your headache?"

"It's still pretty bad."

"May I fix it for you?"

"Yes, please.  I'd appreciate it."

"Wonderful." 

"Here, drink this."
