Chapter Three

"Hello! Anyone here?" I called out into space and was responded by the echo of my voice.

I found myself in a void dark place that I'm guessing to be an empty room, judging from how loud my voice echoed.

I remember falling and hitting my head on the floor and the side of my head still hurt from the impact but, I don't remember coming to this place. 'Could this be the room I was checking out? Then dad must be somewhere near' I thought to myself.

"Dad where are you?" I called again and I got the same response, echoes. 

I feel the need to get out of this room. Something isn't right here, I can feel it in my bones. The exit should be somewhere near. It's eerily dark and the darkness makes me uneasy.

I moved a few meters north but I couldn't find the door. I changed my direction and moved south and still couldn't feel a thing with my hands. My legs had become shaky by the time I finished walking towards East and West and I collapsed on the floor breathing heavily. I felt like I've walked a whole yard. 'What's this place?' I wondered.

Like a flash, the thought of the invisible force that attacked me crossed my mind and I jolted up from my sitting position picking up a judo stance. Honestly, I stand no chance against the invisible force, not with the darkness that surrounds me, and my judo sucks. The last time I practiced was during 5th grade.

My mind dived into a sea of possibilities, "Did it brought me here? If yes, what for? Probably to torment me more?." Millions of thoughts raced through my mind within a fraction of seconds and the thought of its painful torment draws tears to my eyes.

I do not wish to relive that moment again. The torment felt like I was being choked to death. 

"What!? Wait! Am I dead? Is this what it feels like to be dead? Being thrown into an endless abyss of darkness and left to wander till the end of time?" No-no-no that can't be it, I can't b...

"I see you're getting familiar with your surroundings." A creepy disembodied voice said through the darkness, cutting my thoughts in half. My mind felt frozen from shock for seconds before the beating of my heart skyrocketed at the realization of whose voice it is.

It's back!
