12:05 A.M.

Serena silently listen to Austin as they head towards the huge mansion infront of her. It seriously takes a long time to even wall there. Finally, the gang is at the door.

The beautiful doors open, and a well dressed man greets them with a bow. Trevor goes first since he is holding a half asleep Oakley, then Jazmin, then the others, and Serena goes in last.

Suddenly, a huge pain goes into Serena's instincts. Spirits. Powerful spirits are in this house and they do not like the newcomers at all! Serena groans in pain and falls to ground. "Serena!" Then the world goes dark.

When she awakes, she's in a different time. She was at a ball. Though, it wasn't really what she pictured. There was gorgeous dresses, and people dancing elegantly, but it smelled awful. People that haven't tooken showers in weeks, and also people were wearing very strong perfumes. Serena had to go out side since it was so clammy. When she got out she realized that this was not the 21st century.

Then she turned and she was in the forest. Five teenagers were hanging by the river near the Love estate. "Just admit, you're in love with the eldest son of the Love family." The girl that spoke had an unmodest tone that made Serena instantly scared.

The girl nearest to the river looks up. Her deer eyes showed fear. Thus must be very uncomfortable. "O-of course not. He's a dear family member," the girl says softly.

"Are you sure," one of the boys mock. He grabs a very handsome boy. "Right, Kory?"

"Please, let's just return to the party. Leave her alone guys. She's my sister for heaven's sake!" The boy named Kory says.

"No, she needs to learn her lesson for hurting me," the fifth teenager says finally. She had a cruel smile as she walks over to the poor victim. Then she pushes her into the mud. The three laugh and walk off. But the brother stays to help the girl up.

"Oh, Kort. You're too nice for your own good. Please, leave me and fit into the rest of them." The girl starts to cry in his chest. He hugs her tight as she whimpers. Serena blushes realizing that she is eavesdropping. Serena turned around but her mind clicked when the girl looked in her direction.

Jazmin looks identical this girl. Not like. But exactly identical! Serena's eyes go wide. Something dramatic will happen to Jazmin. "I need to wake up," Serena says as she feels her eyes opening.

6:00 A.M.

Serena jerk up and gasps for air. She sees that she is in a room she doesn't know. The furniture gave the obvious impression that this was expensive! Serena turns on the bed - side lamp so she wouldn't brake anything that would be worth her lifetime.

She slowly goes out the door, and sees Emmet walking toward. His eyes widen in surprise but quickly regains composure. "Ah, Ms. Sight, you gave everyone a fright."

"I'm very sorry, but I have have some urgent ne-" Serena says but is cut off by the overwhelming presence the spirirts.

"Hey, come in get back into your room," Emmet says legitimately sincere. He puts her arm over shoulders and walks her to her room. As he puts her down onto the bed, there was a crash at the doorway.

"I'm sorry to disturb you," a girl says hastily. The maid is blushing incredibly. Serena sits up and quickly explains themselves. Then the maid is bursting into tears of embarrassment. She starts to apologize even more. Emmet sighs and walks over to her.

He grabs her shoulders and stares intensely into the maid's eyes. "It's all right. You make up for it by doing your morning duties." She nods quickly and dashes away. Serena let's a sigh of relief.
