Zayden's POV

"Go back!" The voice thunders at me for the umpteenth time but I am adamant. I want to follow him to find my way back home.

Why is he sending me away?

He turns abruptly to see me following him. His white face suddenly becomes red and I know he is angry.

I am doom.

"I said go back!" He shouts again.

I shiver and look back. The place looks empty, there is nothing for me there but ahead of us are grasses full of life.

"No!" I say stubbornly, despite my apprehensions.

He scowls at me, with his chest heaving up and down. He takes a step back and charges at me. "I said go back!" He screams pushing me down the hill with all his strength.

"No!" I scream.

There is a sudden silence. My eyes are closed, my limbs are cold, my feet are stiff and my lips are tightly closed together.

Where am I?

Then I hear words that sound like whispers. I strain my ears to hear more and I hear them.

"Who is it?"

"It's Damien", another voice answers.

Who are these people? Who is Damien? Where am I?
