White. That's all that I could see around me when I opened my eyes. I was standing in the middle of a pure white storm. Flurries and flecks of white flew by as my white hair whipped around me.

'Wait what! White hair?' I thought to myself as I reached up a pale hand to grasp a piece of hair to inspect it. It was indeed white. My eyes widened in shock as I began to tremble.

"What's happening!" I cried out into the whirlwind of white as I felt myself drop to my knees and place my head into my lap. After a moment, I lifted my head and screamed into the air. "Where am I!"

A soft, feminine chuckle sounded throughout the air. I whipped my head around to try and find the source of the voice. Nothing but white could be seen from all sides of me.

"In due time, my sweet Snow. In due time," I heard the voice say to me. Suddenly, I could feel my eyelids getting heavy and I let them begin to close. I let sleep claim me before everything went black.

-

My eyes snapped open and I sprang up from my bed as my heart started beating wildly in my chest. I frantically turned my head in all different directions trying to find were I was.

When I saw the familiarity of my plain white and gray bedroom, I let out a soft sigh and lowered myself to sit on my bed, taking some deep breaths in an attempt to calm myself from my panic attack.

After a while of sitting there in silence, closed my dull gray colored eyes for a moment and then opened them again. I placed a small smile on my face as I went over to my closet to pull on my free time uniform and slipped my dress flats on.

I then grabbed my hairbrush off my desk and began to run it through my ash blonde locks of hair. Picking up a black hair tie, I began to braid my hair into a single fishtail braid. After I was done, I sat my brush back down and turned towards the door

With one last look at myself in the mirror that was hanging on the back of my door, I grasped the metal doorknob, twisted it, and opened the door with a loud creak.

I peaked out of my room to check for my step-brother before letting out a soft sigh of relief. I moved down the gray and white colored hallways as silently as I could. Hoping that I could make it downstairs and out the door before he caught up to me.

"Oh Sylvia!," the voice of Isaac, my step-brother entered my ears as I tensed up. I let a shaky breath escape my lips and I turned around a smile. He in turn had a smile on his face, but his dark gray eyes held a wicked gleam in them.

"H-Hey Issac," I stuttered out while grasping my hands in front of me. My smile wavered as he began to walk closer to me. I let out a gasp of pain when he pulled my hair and yanked me over to him.

"Worthless wretch!" he yelled into my ear while his hand still gripped my hair tightly. Tears began to well up in my eyes, more so from the pain than from his words. I had grown used to them over the past eleven years.

"Why don't you go do something meaningful for a change, high little Sylvia?" Issac hissed at me before letting go of my hair and pushing me forward, towards the black iron staircase. "Or better yet, maybe the afterlife will suit you better," he told me just before shoving me down the stairs. I heard cracks as I rolled and pain riddled my body.

As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I laid there motionless. Extreme pain was burning all over mg body. Just trying to breath caused sharp pain to shoot through my body.

After a while of lying there, I let my eyes fall shut and then everything had  turned black...

-

My eyes fluttered open before being bombarded by bright lights. I quickly squeezed them shut and let out a groan of discomfort. After a little bit, I tried to open the again. This time, I just squinted until my eyes got used to the brightness.

"Ah miss Williams is awake," a man's voice said from somewhere off to my right side, just out of view. I moved to sit up before remembering what had happened and I froze in my spot.

"Your body isn't broken anymore, Miss Williams. Which is quite odd," the man said to me. I furrowed my brow as I took in what he had said.

'How could nothing be broken? I heard the crack amd felt immense pain!' I said to myself inside of my head. It was then that I realized that I was still in a little bit of pain, but it wasn't too bad.

"We don't know why your body had healed itself or how, but you must be more careful on the stairs," the main said as he came to stand by my bed. My head shot up to look at him with a surprised look on my face. "Your step-brother said you had fallen down the stairs, is that not what had happened to you?" The doctor asked me with a worried look on his own face.

"Oh, um no that's what happened," I whispered out meekly as I leaned back into my hospital bed. The doctor, however, didn't look convinced. But, he let out a sigh and then turned away from me.

"We'll keep you overnight, then you'll be allowed to go back home," he told me before walking towards the door. Once he reached it and pulled it open, he turned back to me. "I'll check in soon."

After staring at the ceiling for a while, I let a sigh escape my lips. My eyes started to feel heavy once again and I decided to let my eyes fall close once more and enter the realm of sleep.

-

I stood on the top of a hill that was covered in the cold, white flecks from my previous dream.

I felt my feet begin to move on their own, taking me down the hill and towards a beautiful woman that stood in the middle of a stone patio that was decorated with weird symbols.

The woman smiled at me as I approached. Her long white colored hair blew around her and her pale silver eyes held love in them.

'Why would there be love in her eyes, we don't even know each other,' I asked myself as I stopped in front of the stone patio - and the mysterious woman.

"Who are you?" I asked her when I finally found my voice. "And where am I?" I added to my question. The woman smiled at me before taking a step backwards.

"You will know who I am soon, my dear," the woman said to me with a smile on her lips. "As for where you are, you are in a place you know," she told me while I just gave her a confused and annoyed look.

The woman just smiled at me, before a the world around me began to shimmer. Her smile fell for a moment upon seeing this. She let out a soft sigh before taking my hands in her own.

"It is time for you to go, my darling Snow," she told me before planting a light, quick kiss on my forehead. "Goodbye my dear," she said to me before the world began to fade away. One last smile from the mysterious woman, and the world faded completely.

-

My eyes opened slowly as I blinked to adjust to the bright lights again. I sat up in my bed and looked around. The room was simple; plain light gray walls with a white tiled floor. There were dark gray cabinets over in the corner with a white sink in it. And finally, a computer sat on a rolling table next to my bed.

Turning to look behind me, I noticed the various medical equipment. Tubes and wires, blood pressure cuffs, amd other things

The doctor then took the time to walk inside my room. He looked over at me with a small smile and walked over to me.

"Good morning Miss Williams, how are you feeling," he asked me while going over to the computer and typing on it.

'How am I feeling?' I asked myself as I tested my body to see that there was no more pain and that I could move fairly well despite my supposed fall down the stairs.

"I'm feeling alright I guess," I said as I turned my head to watch the doctor type away on his computer. "No pain at all," I added.

"That's good, well, your parents have signed the papers so your good to go home," he told me before going to leave the room so I could get dressed. I shot up from my bed with fear in my eyes as I grabbed onto his arm.

"W-wait!" I cried out to him. "I-I don't want to go home!" I exclaimed with fear lacing my voice and shining in my eyes. The doctor turned to look at me with worry and surprise on his face.

"And why would that be Miss-"

"Because my step-brother did this!"
