"He saw me when no one did" Orientation Into the Unknown
When Maren came to, her head was pounding and her wrists ached like they’d been tied for hours.She was in a room — clean, oddly modern, with dark stone walls and glowing sconces. But the bed was soft. The sheets too crisp. The air too sterile.She sat up fast.This wasn’t the same place from before. The dark tunnels, the monstrous guy with wings — all gone. Now, outside the barred window across the room, she could hear faint murmurs of… laughter? Chatter?School bells.Her eyes narrowed.A uniform — dark gray with deep crimson accents — was folded neatly on a chair at the corner of the room. Beside it, boots. Combat-style. And a small card with only two words:Get dressed.She tore the note in half and threw it, but even as she did, the door clicked open.Smirk-boy leaned in. “Rise and shine, roommate.”Maren blinked. “Excuse me?”“Dorms are co-ed. Didn’t you read the pamphlet?” He walked in like he owned the room, tossed a shiny key onto her bed, and grinned. “Welcome to Noxshade Ac
"He saw me when no one did" At least in this world, Maren was seen.
The room was silent, save for the faint hum behind the mirror.Maren stood still, every breath slow, her fists clenched at her sides. She’d yelled until her throat was raw. Slammed on the doors. Demanded answers through the thick stone walls. But none of them came. Not the shadow one. Not the fire boy. Not the smirker or the doll-faced creep.And definitely not Kade.All she had now… was the mirror.It hovered near the far wall — not hanging, but floating, tethered to nothing. Every few minutes, it flickered like static, and then his image would appear again. Bruised. Bleeding. Screaming her name.Was it real?Or was she going crazy?Maybe that was the real trick here — not kidnapping, not threats. Just isolation and madness.Her fingers twitched.She couldn’t be going crazy. Not yet. Not now.She stepped closer to the mirror again, heart pounding. Kade’s mouth moved, but no sound came through.Her hand lifted. Stopped inches from the glass.“I’m sorry,” she whispered, eyes stinging.
"He saw me when no one did" The Rift between Realities
The world came back in fragments — scent first.Ash. Smoke. Metal. Something old… ancient.Then light — dim, flickering. Not electric. Torchlight?Maren’s eyes snapped open, breath caught in her throat.She wasn’t in her room.Not in school.Not anywhere she recognized.Stone walls surrounded her. Massive, towering pillars twisted toward a dark ceiling. The floor beneath her was cool — obsidian, almost reflective, like the surface of a frozen lake.She scrambled back, her hands scraping against the cold floor as five figures stepped into view.All of them… male.All of them... wrong.Not just strange. Not just dangerous.Otherworldly.One had eyes like silver mercury, swirling. His voice echoed with a mechanical hum even when he hadn’t spoken.Another had black veins running under pale, translucent skin — his grin was crooked and wicked, like he could taste fear.A third looked human — too human. Perfect, symmetrical, pristine, and somehow horrifying in his stillness. His eyes were em
"He saw me when no one did" Eyes everywhere
Maren stared down at the second note in her trembling hands.“Maybe it’s Carter. Maybe it’s not. You’ll never know, no matter how much you try. Which I love — seeing you try, and never find out. This is a fun game.”Her heart dropped, and a cold sweat gathered at the back of her neck.This wasn’t Carter.She knew it.This wasn’t his voice — not the Carter she knew. He was cruel, sure. Aggressive. A bully. But he wasn’t clever. He didn’t talk in riddles. He wouldn’t try to sound cryptic — wouldn’t dangle doubt like bait in front of her.And yet… who else could it be?The words echoed in her mind as she crumpled the notes into her pocket, glancing quickly down the hall. Nothing. Just the sound of lockers clanging, conversations fading, footsteps dragging toward the exits. Everyone going home. Everyone moving on.Except her.She didn’t want to go home. She didn’t want to go anywhere.Outside, the sky was gray — the kind of gray that matched her mood exactly. Maren sat on the concrete edg
"He saw me when no one did" The Silence after the Storm
The classroom had fallen quiet after Kade left. The air was thick with silence, and Maren couldn’t shake the feeling that something had just shifted—like the world tilted, even if only slightly. The rest of the school day passed in a blur of voices she didn’t hear and hallways she didn’t remember walking through.That afternoon, the bell rang like a signal of freedom, but Maren didn’t feel free. She stood at her locker, spinning the dial absentmindedly when another envelope slid to the floor like a whisper.Her stomach dropped.Two notes this time.She knelt down and picked them up, heart pounding.“Don’t think it’s over so soon—we’re just getting started.”“Maybe it’s Carter. Maybe it’s not. You’ll never know. But I love to watch you try.”Maren’s hands trembled. Her mind shouted Carter, but her heart hesitated. The voice in these notes—it wasn’t his. Carter was cruel, sure, but he was also direct, arrogant. These messages played mind games. They were layered with misdirection.Her t
"He saw me when no one did" The next move
The room was eerily quiet. The tension in the air hung heavy, thick enough to feel in your chest. No one spoke, too afraid to utter a single word, all eyes trained on the spot where Kade had just slammed Carter in front of the entire class. Maren’s heart raced in her chest, the weight of the situation pressing down on her like a brick.She couldn’t process what had just happened. No one had ever stood up for her like that—not like Kade had. No one had ever cared enough to do something about Carter's torment. And the way Kade had looked at her just before walking out—like she mattered.Then, Kade stood up. His voice broke the silence, as if the weight of his words could shatter the stillness around them.“It was me,” Kade said, his tone firm and unapologetic. “I punched Carter for being a dumb ass, as usual. He deserved it, and I’m happy to be punished for it if that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m not mad I did it, I’m not guilty for doing it, or feel I was wrong to do so.”He paused,
