Hi Guys

It's me.

Just...thank you.

Thank you all so much.

I feel like a bit of a dumbass, though, because I saw Morningstar's comments and actually believed them for a second, even though I know he's a lying son of a whore. Then I read what the rest of you wrote and I remembered. And...I was still scared, but I knew I was going to get out. I just had to hold on a little longer.

I...I don't really want to think about what it was like...but I can tell you how I got out. Labyrinth

I don't know how long I was in there...even after I read your comments and knew that someone was trying to get me out, it felt like forever. Then I heard...I actually heard someone calling my name.

"Alora."

"I'm here now."

Then when I opened my eyes again, the sun was back and Daniel was there. He had blood dripping from his nose and it was all over his shirt, and he looked like he hadn't slept in forever, but he was there, and I had never been so happy to see him in my life. And then I started crying. Then I took a long nap, woke up, cried some more. Then fell asleep again. This morning I woke up early, called my brother, managed to keep it together during the conversation. And cried once it was over. I'm pretty sure I cried my weight in tears. Yes, I am a big softy.

I had to go to class today (I could forgive myself for missing yesterday, but two days in a row and people start asking questions). I didn't care though. It's sunny outside and there's so much light, and it makes me happy. If anything, this entire thing just made me appreciate the light more. And Daniel. And you guys.

You helped him save me, and I owe you for that.

:)

I feel drained and emotional, but not nearly as bad as yesterday.

Also, I think Fizz is off her rocker. If that is Fizz. Maybe she's another alterna-universe person (like some people think Zero is) and they're both from the Insanity 'Verse. I dunno. I really don't.

(all i know is, she's on my list. yes, i have a list. redlight, morningstar, zerosage, fizz. there's a crowbar with your name on it if you get anywhere near us. also, amalgamationsage, congratulate whoever bloodied his nose for me. -daniel)

I should be yelling at him for being so paranoid, but after...you know...his protectiveness is kind of comforting. He's like my brother, kind of. But without a gun. Or marine training. But he has mind powers, so that evens things out.

Anyway, I should go. I think another nap is in order. And a mountain of chocolate.

Stay safe, you guys. And thanks again. :)
