Mykal groaned in pain as he felt something bite him, draining his blood. At first it hurt a lot, but then it just itched. He was completely paralyzed, by what he didn't know. Suddenly, the sensation stopped and he cried out, only to be followed by darkness. When he woke up, it was bright, but not like sunlight. Everything was in inverted colors, like glowing white and black. Mykal realized that it wasn't daylight out, but he was seeing in the dark like no human ever had before. He could hear the heartbeat of his brother, Zach, three rooms away...What was going on? At first, he couldn't smell anything, but then he could smell the pizza they had a week ago. Softly, at first, a new sound was growing. A voice. A soft, beautiful voice, so quiet and gentle. It was his best friend, Anistazia, singing as she woke up. Anistazia lived a block away.
