Ancestor and descendant

Alicia felt like she was wandering. She could not exactly place it, but she knew something was wrong. If "Nothing" was a place, she was currently there. She could see nothing except a big black void, and that made her scared. 

She thought it was a nightmare at first and prayed to wake up, but as the seconds passed, she became concerned. What made her even more scared was when she pinched herself and felt the pain for real. Her heartbeat spiked. 

What was happening to her? Was this another transmigration? How did she get here? What happened? Was she going to be stuck here now? No! She didn't want to be here. She couldn't stay here. 

What about Harold? Where was he? She yelled his name several times, but there was nothing.
