Rae had a pounding headache. instinctively she reached for her medication, which should have been sitting on the desk beside her, but when her hand found not a desk but floor, she opened her eyes, everything was kind of fuzzy, her glasses weren't on, [i]where am i?[/i] she thought, running a hand through her hair "Mom? Dad?" nothing, the words almost seemed to echo, it was dark here, it had been a little after 2 o'clock moments ago when she hopped on to her computer, [i]how much has time passed? Was i drugged?[/i] she looked around again, frightened, she could make out a wall not far away and so she pushed herself to her feet "hello?" she slowly walked over to the wall and put her hand on it, she saw a glint a few steps down the hall so she went to it and when she leaned down she felt the familiar cold metal of her glasses. grasping them tightly she smiled and pulled her hand back towards her "if only it wasn't so dark" she muttered, sliding them on, the room came into focus.

Rae was in fact in a hallway, it was eerily familiar but looked almost abandoned, but like work had been done on it recently, it was very odd.

She started down the hall carefully, looking out the windows she appeared to be somewhere on the 4th floor, as she noticed this fact the ground beneath her creaked dangerously and she fell to the floor beneath with a yell.

[i]ow, ow, ow,[/i] she pulled herself to her feet, her glasses were still on amazingly, so was the purse she just realized she had.
"this is really dangerous" she said, looking around, she saw a stairway and hurried to it,
"at least i didn't hurt myself" she muttered as she stopped on the second floor, the place looked only more familiar. [i]where am i?[/i]
she went to the window and could see a large sign down in the courtyard but just blackness past that, [i]how weird[/i]
she went down the stairs again and headed for the courtyard, when she arrived she went to the sign.

she looked out at the blackness and saw something on the other side, a field of some kind, she looked at the sign and read out loud "the academy" ... it dawned on her suddenly "wait, ... no, it can't be ... i ... am i ... i'm inside ... no the academy doesn't exist, and if it did it was deleted when the guild went down ... what ... i don't understand ..."

looking across at the field again she saw movement "Hey!" nothing, she looked at the black stretch and took a deep breath "Hey!" ... finally she took a step forward into the black, an odd sensation came over her as she lost all feeling of familiarity, but she was alive so she set off at a run and soon came to the field.
the movement she had seen was in fact people "Hey!" she started towards them "can you help me? do you know where i am?"
