I heard voices yelling above me, but I couldn't make them stop. I could feel everything, but my body would not move on my command. I tried sitting up, but nothing was happening. I tried opening my mouth and didn't feel the area around my mouth stretch to prove to me that my mouth had opened. What's happening to me? What did Jay do to me? Slowly but surely I began to hear bits a pieces of words being said around me. Blade, knife, dagger, dead, paralyzed, permanent coma filed into my brain making me no longer afraid, but terrified. Was all of this what was happening or happened to me? Books were being thrown, fowl words were being spat across the room like a tennis match and there wasn't anything that I could do to make them stop. I went to open my mouth again and this time I felt my mouth slightly tug open before collapsing shut once again. Guys I mentally yelled even though no one could hear me. "I get it that your all angry but who just yelled." Erica's voice said. Did she mean me? Did she just hear me? Can someone finally hear my stupid and feeble attempts to be heard? "They're all yelling." Char said.

"No, it was a girl. She's not in pain, but confused, terrified even." Erica said. Relief washed over me as realization dawned on me. Erica could hear me, someone could finally hear me. Erica it's me. Can you hear me? It's me, Destiny I thought practically pleading that it wasn't a one time thing. I felt so alone trapped in my own mind hearing everyone else, but no one else acknowledging me. "Destiny, how can I hear you?" Erica said footsteps getting closer to my lifeless body. The yelling stopped and I sensed everyone's eyes in my body as if I'd get up and yell surprise. I don't know, but I'm glad you can. I've been yelling for all the yelling to stop. Who's arguing anyway? I asked hoping that it wasn't Robbie and Tristan. "Robbie and Tristan. We miss you so get up." Erica pursued. If only she knew that I couldn't. My body refused to obey my commands only my mind would. "Ask her can she hear the rest of us." Char pestered Erica. My body won't move. Tell Char I can hear all of you, but only you can hear me I replied. I felt a cool hand rest in my hand and though I wanted to wrap my own fingers around it I couldn't. "This is al my fault." Tristan's voice said. It sounded so sad and destroyed that my heart broke along with it. I willed my hand to grip his and I felt the sweet contact of my fingers brushing against his own. This isn't your fault. I'll make it through this, I promise I whispered. I knew that he could hear me, but it was that I could say that comforted him and me. Another cool hand was placed in my body, but this hand was on my forehead. "If there's a way for you to get out. I'm going to find it." Char said. I smiled to myself at how determined she was to save the girl who was so cruel to her when I was acting as Olivia. Thank you. I'm worry that I was such a bitch to you when I was Olivia I managed to apologize.

"She says sorry for being a coxcomb when she was Olivia." Erica said.

"I know who she is as a person. If I had to be the opposite if me I'll play full part. Plus your weren't that bad." Char said caressing my cheek in a sweet manner instantly calming my nerves. I felt my mind easily slip away from reality into a dreamy state. I looked around and saw the room I must have been in my dull body resting on the cot in some type of healing facility that wasn't the doctors. "Destiny." Charity's voice said. I turned to see the bubbly blonde standing before me smiling as if she thought she'd never see me again. I returned the same smile embracing her in a hug. We both let of a rugged breath of relief as well as satisfaction. "You're here." I breathed.

"You're here." She repeated. I took in her warmth before pulling away and looking the scene behind me. "Not that I'm not happy you're here and all, but what are you doing here? What am I doing here?" I asked. She smiled glad that she gets to explain her role with someone who was completely clueless. "I'm a seer as you know therefore I can see the future. This is the future, the time when you will either wake and join us or die and leave us." She said practically whispering the last part. "Well then what happens to me?" I asked.

"We have to wait and see. The future is not set yet since Erica was able to able to hear you speaking to us and I was able to enter your mind with ease." She said.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"We changed what the future was to be when we were able to contact you. Now we have to wait for the new rewrite." Charity said in a cherry voice ready to see what the new future has in store for us. The scene started and Tristan cut his forearm holding the blood over my mouth as drop by drop entered. The color restored in my face and my hands began to move instantly wrapping themselves around Tristan's arm sucking the blood from his wound. The longer my mouth was latched onto his arm the paler he grew. I wouldn't let go and if I didn't soon Tristan would be dead before he even saw me alive again. I watched as Tristan's dark brown eyes turned a dull, smokey grey. I finally released him from my death grip and he collapsed onto the cold tile floor, dead. My eyes finally opened, but they had not belonged to me for they were a blood red. I watched as the blood fell from chin. My eyes closed and reopened the red no longer visible, but back to their soft green color. My head turned towards Tristan's body and I let out of shirk of horror and disgust before my green eyes literally rolled to the back of my bed displaying all white before my body resumed it's once limp status. I turned my head away the scene trying to rid myself of the horrible scene. "Destiny." Charity said.

"Do me a favor and never let me loose." I said before I pushed Charity away from me, back in reality.
