waking nightmares

Marcel's POV

"Isabella! Clara!" I called out but no one was answering.

Did they get up? Did they find a way to save themselves? One minute I was with them, and then the next minute, they had disappeared.

Both of them had been lying unconsciously right next to me; something had slashed them on their backs, but that wasn't the most surprising and baffling thing of it all.

Initially, I was in a cave space filled with rocks, debris, sand and bricks, but where I stood was empty, quiet and lonely.

"What is this place" I muttered under my breath.

As I took a few steps ahead, an eerie wind crept on my skin. I tried calling out to Isabella and Clara, but none was answering.

Where could they have gone?

Or could something have picked them up? I wondered.
