I re-opened my eyes to find the Angel still in front of me.

But, how?

I twist my head, to see if it was staring at anything else, and as I do, I see a figure running away. And that's when the puzzle pieces connect. The figure running was Aurora. That's how she told me about what happened. I was the girl who blinked. And she was watching the whole time. Which, if I was correct, would mean that there was an Angel right behind me.

I slide out of the area and gasp. Both of the Angels were locked onto each other, and couldn't move! That's why The Doctor left!

"That's David's move, not yours!" I yell out, although I'm sure he didn't hear it. The Doctor was gone. But he saved my life.

One point for him.

My head starts to spin and I feel unusually tired, as I drop to the floor, that last thing I see being a bow tie.

Typical.

--------

I wake up to crying.

Crying and crying.

That's when I realize where I was. I was in my room again. Which meant the whole thing was over. I couldn't wait to report all of this to London. Well, after I found out who was crying.

I get out of bed and turn to look out the window. Snow. And a lot of ice of the streets too. I hope they canceled school, someone could get hurt.

I walk down the stairs slowly, and what I see shocks everything out of me.

It was Autumn and my mom, sitting at the table. Autumn was sobbing loudly, her face and hair a mess, as Mom tried comforting her, although I could see she was pained too.

"Guys?" I whisper softly. As I do, Mom walks over to me and pulls me into a hug, whispering three words into my ear, as if she said them any louder she would cry too.

"I'm so sorry."

"What happened?" I ask, my whole body shaking. I didn't want her to answer. I wanted to call London and Mia and ask them what was going on.

"It's Mia."

I didn't need to hear anymore.

I sit down and pull my fingers through my tangled hair, breathing heavily. I thought it wasn't real! London warned us about defaults, but no one knew about any dying.

"What happened?" I whisper, scared for the answer. This was my fault. All of it was my fault!

"She was walking to school, a- and a car came, completely out of control. She slipped on the ice and, and-" Autumn spits out, until she finds herself crying again. I start to hear hail banging onto the house, and shake my head. This couldn't be real. This couldn't be happening.

"No. No, no, no, no..." I say, and sprint outside, without a jacket or shoes. Sure enough, I saw a police car, caution tape, and a crashed Honda.

"Oh my God...." I whisper, and feel a hot tear fall down my face as I see Mia's parents talking to a police man, sobbing their heads off.

Then I did something I thought only people in movies do.

I ran to Mia's house, and opened it with the spare key, then running upstairs, and into Mia's room.

Everything was perfectly still.

I sit down in the middle of the room and start screaming, pulling my hair. Tears were falling down my face at rapid speed and I waited to wake up from this satanic nightmare. Suddenly, I just stop. Crying, pulling my hair. I stay still trying to regain my breath when I feel cold air pass through me.

And just for a second I felt like Mia was there with me.

-----------

"I'm so sorry. But are you sure you want to do this?" London says, and I nod.

"Yeah. I can't take it anymore."

"Okay. Stay still. This may hurt just a bit."

"Um, London? Do Autumn and I have to forget the Fairy Tale group?"

She nods. "I'm sorry Eva, but quitting means all memories of us have to disappear."

So I sit tight and let the stinging go through me, quickly looking to see how Autumn was handling it.

She was doing fine.

--------
I quickly grab my black flats, then tightening my bun, to make sure nothing will stick out when I give my speech. Then, I grab one of those mini packs of tissues, and walk out of the house to find Autumn wearing a long black dress.

"If I cry, can you lend me some of your tissues?" Autumn asks. At first I think she's joking, but when I see her solid face I immediately nod.

The car ride was silent. Not a word was said when we got out of the car, and into the church either. I didn't want to go in. I really, really didn't. Maybe it was the fact the casket would be open. But when I went inside, I felt like I was melting. Everyone's eyes were on me and Autumn. My mother gripped both of our hands in reassurance and I shut my eyes tightly before I hear a bunch of "I'm so sorry" 's. I wanted to yell at each and every one of them, but I kept my mouth shut.

Until I saw a familiar face.

I think her name was Nadali. I'm not sure where we met, but the moment we locked eyes, I could tell Nadali knew Mia enough to cry about it. I mean, her eyes were red and puffy.

"You don't remember, do you?" She asks me, and I shrug.

"Remember what?"

Nadali sighs and shakes her head. "They took the memories away from you. They were going to do it to me too, but I didn't let them."

I was in utter confusion. What did she mean? Who's 'they'? I was kinda getting creeped by this chick, so I just smile and turn around.

"Eva. It's your turn to visit the casket. You don't have to if you don't want to." Mom says as I turn to face her.

"No, I will."

So as I walk over to the casket and see Mia wearing a beautiful short sleeved dress, I can't help but notice the small bit of paint they couldn't get off that came from the car. For some reason, I felt a pang of guilt, like I caused this to happen. Which couldn't have been right, since I was sleeping.

But yet that's how I felt.

And as I stare at the paint, for one tiny second I see some type of sharpie on her shoulder.

Five tally marks, with the word REACHED written in bold.
