Lost in the woods

13 december

“What is going on with Josh? Why did Dawson break his own rules? And why is Keith angry with Riley and not Dawson? Well, let’s start with Dawson…”

                ‘What is happening…? I can’t fight it! Please, anyone, help me. I can’t stop.’

Dawson was running through the woods, blinded by desperate panic. His heart was racing and his head felt clogged up. His actions didn’t feel his own. He used telekinesis to push away branches as he went, not that he cared much but it made it easier to run. He wanted to be far away, it was all he could think about. The further away from the school he got the easier it became to think. When the panic left he slowed down and came to a stop about 3 kilometers away from the school. He spun around a little trying to figure out where he was; finally he sat down on a rock to think. He tried thinking back on what had happened, had he really pushed Keith across the room? He remembered practicing with Maggie and showing her how to improve her flying, then… Danny? She had been there, he was sure of it. Been where? And where was he now? It was like trying to remember a dream, the more you think about it the more you forget. The panic returned and he stood up again. ‘Where am I?!’ He had no idea how he had gotten here, or where here was. He tried to remember, but all that came to him was flying with Maggie. He was sure he had done that…  But that must have been several hours ago, they had started early in the morning and now it was dark outside. “Hello!” he tried but there was no answer. “Is anyone there?” He checked his pockets and cursed when he couldn’t find his cell phone. “If this is prank…” He muttered and looked around. He could see faint light coming from up ahead, and decided to walk towards them. It didn’t look far.
