                       Pace's pov

    Aderyn angrily walks away. I watch with regret, hoping she won't hate me forever now.

   "Hey, it'll be okay," Jackson says, as if he can read my mind.

   "Thanks, J," I thank him.

   "Now, let's get out of here!" I say.

   We walk along a sidewalk leading who-knows-where, and suddenly, I see Aderyn again, dressed in black.

   "Hey, Pace! Hey Jackson! I forgive you guys," she says. Something sounds off with her voice . . .

   Just then, "Aderyn" takes off a mask, and I see some weird lady I've never seen before.

   I scream.

  "All we need is Pace. Come here, Patience," she coos.

  "NO!" I screech.

  She grabs my hand and starts to drag me away.

  "Jackson! Jackson Lee, HELP!" I call.

  He turns around, seeing me, and runs up to the lady. He then kicks at her feet, as if she might stumble.

  The lady finally falls, and I squirm free.

  "Thanks, J," I say the familiar phrase.

  "No problem," he responds.
