Now fully aware of Johnathan's location, Alice rushes to the room bathroom and changes her clothing. She rips off her hospital gown and put on some blue jeans and a purple long sleeve shirt she grabbed out of the dresser in the room.

Surprisingly, the clothes fit it seems that the clothes were placed there just for her to wear. As if the clothes belongs to her. The clothes were her exact size.

She slips on her hospital slippers as she heads out of the bathroom her body trembles as she runs past the staff of the hospital heading towards the back exit of the hospital. She knows that in order to get to Johnathan she would have to get pass the first order at the ELM ROM gate which leads to that part of the town.

So instead of going towards the gate, she heads towards her old neighborhood. There's another entrance to that side of town, through her old backyard on Hurd street. She can remember the first time her parents showed her that entrance.

It was on the first day of primary school, her parents showed her the entrance before school telling her only to use the entrance if it's an emergency stating that one misuse of the entrance may cause the Watinds to find out about it, saying that if they find out about the entrance then they will take it away.

She's now at the secret entrance, for some reason she can't seem to make herself to go through the entrance. The entrance now looks old and tattered. The tree that once was young and full of life now is dying and lossing it's limbs.

The braches all narrow and fragile all hang down from it's trunk, swinging in the direction the wind takes it. The tree looks miserable and tired, dying right before her eyes.

This tree, once young and full of life now is now dying. Her life was happy and full of life but now her life is nothing else but misery. Alice is mentally dying, she can feel her personality slipping away.

Alice is tired as well as this tree. She wants to just give up and die, but she cannot, she needs to live for Johnathan, for Chris and for the other students, who's missing.

She can't bear leaving them all lost, missing with no one, but her left to find them. She pulls herself together and forces herself to go through the entrance.

On the other side of town it's different, yet in the same sense a pure mirror of the other half of the town. The similarities yet the differences all startle Alice as she is now on the other side of the entrance. She stares down the street called Hurdle the street that she's on is the exact same as Hurd street.

The cars parked along the street are the exact same as the other half of town but different colors. The tree that guards the entrance, is just like the tree on the other side of the entrance but this tree is not dyeing the tree is flourishing.

The Leaves are all a dark green color and the braches thick and strong hanging from the tree trunk. This side of the entrance is an exact mirror image of the other side of the entrance but is full of life.

Once Alice's personality was fun and full of life. Now her fun personality has became dormant. She lost that side of her, looking at this tree she wishes she could get that side of her back. She wishes she didn't have to be serious and scared all the time, she wants to be a teenager again.

She walks down the street to the corner and turns right. She heads to vainly street, and looks around at all the abandoned buildings searching for the address she saw in her vision.

It is now 6 A.m. and the sun is beginning to rise. She sees a building with the address being very similar to the address in her vision. She looks to the right of the building and there it is the address she saw in her vision.

She sees an open door on the side of the building and quickly runs to the door fearing that the wind would close it.

She steps through the doorway looking around to make sure no ones around. She walks up the stairs that is sitting in the entrance of the building. The stairs lead Alice to an empty hallway with an dead end. There are three doors on her left side glaring at her as she walks closer.

She slowly reaches for the first door knob. Then just as her hand begins to turn the knob, she hears Johnathan snoring. She hear his snoring coming from behind the last door. Instantly she runs to the door and opens it.

She sees Johnathan down the basement stairs, on the cement floor asleep. She walks quietly down the stairs trying not to scary Johnathan.

She taps him on the shoulder "Johnathan wake up" Alice says in a whisper. Johnathan wakes up and is surprised to see Alice. For a moment he thought he was dreaming, staring blankly at Alice. "How did you know I was here". Johnathan says looking at her.

"I had another vision, lets leave before who ever took you out of the hospital come back." Alice says helping Johnathan up on his feet.

His left leg is broken so Alice supports that side of his body. Johnathan wraps his arm around her shoulder trying to make his self walk with her to the stairs.

Now out of the building they walk back to the other side of town taking the secret entrance back. Now back on the other side of town Alice is happy she found Johnathan and since she didn't get a chance to hug Johnathan when she first found him. She reaches up and hugs him.

Then in the midst of hugging Johnathan sees his Mother walking towards him. He slowly pulls away from Alice's arms that's now wrapped around his neck, he stares blankly at his mother walking towards him.

"What's wrong"? Alice asks

"My mother is ALIVE." Johnathan answers

"Hi Johnathan, It's your mother... I know you have alot of questions but please hold on to them for now. I have something very important to tell you. That house you guys were at when the first order arrested you guys. Well that's where I am willing to talk to you l. That house is safe I'll say everything there. Meet me there in an hour." Johnathan's mother says as she turns around and walks away.

Johnathan, with his hands on his hips, watches his mother walk away. He has so many questions and thoughts running through his mind. He wants to be angry but also happy that's his mother is still alive. But he feels no emotions now, only sickness at this reality.

"Your mother is still alive... Lets go to the house behind the school. She said we must meet her there." Alice says unknowing how to react in this moment.

Johnathan's mother is still Alive.. Where has she been all this time? Is she the solution or another problem for Johnathan to face?
