Chapter 1- Hillburg Village

December 16, 2000

“Yo Addy, come take a look at the Christmas tree!” My brother Landen called from across the living room. I always hated the fact that my family spells my name wrong when I really prefer to be called Andie. But hell, people will do anything to do shortcuts, even by spelling a gosh darn name shorter.

I was in the middle of biology studies that I had tomorrow which if I failed, then it will have a big impact on my grade and how colleges will see me. I decided to take a rest from my textbook, slipped on my slippers with socks on, and headed downstairs. Besides, this is only once every 11 months that I got to see a Christmas tree in my living room.
“What took you so long?” My brother asked, holding a little snowman with a top hot on his left hand.

“Your hair is a mess as usual.” My brother pointed out. My mom reminded him to never disrespect me like that even though my brother was like 17-ish years old. He rolled his eyes after my mother let go of his ear which was bloody red.

“Whatever, it looks nice,” I said, having a frown face, telling them that I wasn’t in the mood. I mean, c’mon, you’re a 17-year-old person and you still like Christmas? Like Jesus, grow some balls or something. If I had the chance to start hating Christmas, it would’ve been the minute I knew Christmas was a holiday.
“C’mon hone-” but I fled the scene before my mom had another chance to say anything else.

I shut the door slowly, jumped onto my bed which was filled with science textbook, notes, and my Chromebook, having like 20 freaking tabs open about how photosynthesis worked. I was honestly done with studies. I was ready to throw my textbooks out of my damn window and curse every word language in French under the name of my biology teacher.

I glanced at my alarm clock, reading a sight 10:49 P.m in color red. I pulled my long hair over my head, breathy heavily hot air out of my nose.
A few moments later, I heard a soft knock on the door, peeking over as a white line note slipped through my door, having some sloppy handwriting which gave me the signal that it was from Landen.
At the same time, I heard my mom shouting to us something about “time to turn the lights off.”

I don’t usually agree with my mom since she’s the one that agreed to have more homework at school in the school’s PTG meetings which I hate her for but heck, sleep is the only wish I want right now.

Dumbing my textbook, notebook and even my Chromebook with one shove off the bed, I covered myself with the sheets on my bed and before I knew it, I was sleeping like a royal queen.

. . .

“Addy, Addy! Wake up!” Overhearing my name being called out, I had no choice but to wake up, instantly being hit by a vibrating noise, sounding like a dog whistle.
“OUCH!” I yelled out, slowly opening my eyes to wonder where I was. I was greeted by my Landen, my own brother hugging me as I was fully aware that I was in a snowy village.

“Listen,” Laden said, backing off.

“I don’t want to make this story long, but short story short,” he licked his fingers, mini ice building up onto both of his hands. “But up there,” he pointed up to what appeared to be a gigantic hole around a protection sphere the shape of a crystal. “Is some sort of crystal that needs to be found in order for everyone you knew back, in reality, to get out of this dream. If you don’t find it by the time that clock hits Christmas day, then the walls will strike, slowly moving towards you until it smashes you into pieces.” Laden then proceeds to take 3 long deep breaths.

.”I don’t know how the hell we got into this mess, but by Ruby’s best prediction, it seemed like when we all headed to sleep, we were teleported to… the same dream everyone around the town had. And now, we can all communicate with each other, but we’re not awake.”

Laden seemed dead serious considering if Ruby was here, then there could be others here, others that I haven’t been the best of terms with, unfortunately.

“Wait, Ruby’s here?” I said, faking my surprised.
“Yes, and so are five other that I would like you to meet while we figure out a way to get out of here before…” Laden paused, slowly turning his head into the flat land where only the sun appeared.
“Just go introduce yourself to the others, and after you do, tell them to meet me in the town hall. Don’t worry, they know where it is.” Laden explained, sprinting away to a wide large building with smoke coming out of it.

With all that, I took note that I must’ve been asleep for a long time and that I was the last one to wake up from… whatever the hell was going on.

I made my way to a small brick house where I could hear a bunch of people talking at the same time, but, no music. Now, I don’t know Ruby by heart, heck, I never even talked to her all of Freshman and Sophomore year but what I did know is that that girl will get any chance to blast her God awful rock music. I wouldn’t even call that “music.” Just a bunch of garbage beats.

I took a long breath at the front door, then, processing to slowly open the door as the door was unlocked.
Slowly but surely, I made myself in, standing in front of a soft carpet which read, “Welcome” in flowers.
I stood there like a nerd girl, watching Joseph, Lana, Ruby, Vanessa, Sam, and finally, my arch enemy, Camila, all staring at me with demon lookin’ eyes.

“Welcome home, Addy,” Ruby said, smiling creepily like the clown from IT,

I could tell from the start, this wasn’t a nice welcoming note.
