what to do? I had no one to
talk to, no one to hear me out, and no one to help.
    I went back behind a bush
and tried to appear. It worked, but I had never felt pain like this
before. I was still the same person that was in the future, the one
who could control her powers, only I couldn’t anymore.
     
    I walked into the bedroom
and fell face-first onto the bed.
    “ Are you alright?” Rose
asked.
    “ Yeah I’m fine,” I mumbled
into the pillow.
    “ Did you finish your
project?” she asked.
    “ Oh
yeah,” thanks for reminding
me. I wasn’t too excited about getting up
in front of the whole class room, what was even worse? I had to
fret about it until sixth hour.
     
    I fell asleep as I laid
there face down. Before I knew it, I was walking through the halls
of a hospital. There was a calendar on the wall. It was November,
3rd, 2011. Why was I in a hospital? No one seemed to notice me, so
I walked around. If this was some kind of clue, I needed to figure
out what it meant.
    Unlike all of my other
dreams, I could do whatever I wanted. I wanted to go left, so I
went left. I walked into a bathroom; I was invisible, but I could
see a slight outline of myself in the mirror and nothing more. I
walked out of the bathroom. Even though I had control over where I
went, something told me to keep going straight. Then, I passed the
second room on the left, and something pulled me inside.
    There was Rose, lying in the
hospital bed, unconscious. Her fair skin was now covered in bruises
and cuts. It was true; Rose didn’t make it to the past, and the
Rose in the past was a different person. Though I doubted this
would give me any answers, I sat down. I hadn’t known Rose long,
but she was my sister, my twin sister. I heard a nurse walking down
the hall talking to someone.
    “ Yes, she’s in a coma. We’re
hoping for her to make a full recovery, but with these types of
things, you can’t be too sure,” the nurse explained.
    Violet must be here to see
Rose, I thought. It would be good to see
her again, too, after everything, but no, the person who walked
through the door was not Violet—it was Ann. The nurse kept walking
as Ann walked into the room. She sat in the chair on the opposite
side of the bed. What was she doing here? I hoped nothing bad would
happen; there would be nothing I could do to help.
    “ With
Scarlett gone, you’re my only hope,” she whispered as she pulled
something out of her pocket. A
necklace.
    She looked back at the door,
making sure the coast was clear. Then, she lifted up Rose’s head
and put the necklace on her. It glowed for about a minute and when
it stopped she took it off her. She put it back in her pocket, and
then she sat there staring at Rose. She grabbed onto the pillow
behind her head and slowly pulled it out from under her. She lifted
up the pillow right above Rose’s face, before she could hold it
down, the nurse walked in. Ann hurried up and stuck the pillow back
behind her head and leaned back in her chair.
     
    When I woke up in the
morning, the clock said it was ten thirty. Rose was gone, and I was
late for school. Why didn’t anyone wake me up? I ran to the closet
and threw on the first thing I found. The school was only a mile
away, and walking was my only option. I grabbed my back pack and
headed out the door.
    As I walked past Dante’s
house, I saw him heading out the door. He was either skipping or
late, too. I picked up my pace and ignored the urge to run up to
him.
    A few minutes later, he
drove past me and stopped about ten feet ahead. I ignored it; he
was probably just messing with me. When I walked past the car, he
yelled out the window.
    “ Hey do you need a ride?” he
asked.
    I looked over at him, and my heart
melted. Was he starting to warm up to me? I could only
hope.
    “ Okay, thanks,” I said as I
walked over to the passenger door.
    We were quiet for a few moments, but he
finally spoke.
    “ So, you really stood up to
those girls?” he asked.
    “ Yeah, I
