"Kiara what did you see?" aunt Rosa asked, her brown eyes filled with fear. I gulped. I don't think she wanted to know what I saw.

"Kiara, amor" her skinny fingers, held my face in place. "Porfavor, tell me" she whispered urgently.

"A girl.."my voice uncertain. She looked at me expectantly.

"Ki, you are going to have to elaborate on that, what about a girl?"

I let out a frustrated, groan. the memory was something I did not want to recall. I broke from her hold and placed my hands on my face. I whimpered as the memory of the vision slowly made it's way back to me. After a few moments of hesitation, I decided I needed to tell her this wether I wanted to or not. I looked up to see my aunt scowling,I let out a puff of air I didn't know I had kept.

"This vision was a little more murky than the other ones" I told her and as soon as I saw her nod her head in understanding I continued.

"I saw a girl in the woods, she was backed up against a tree, as if she was hiding from something or someone..I..I can't remember exactly what she looked like though" I went silent for a minute, closing my eyes to make sure I didn't forget any details my aunt squeezed my shoulder gently.

" It's okay, amor take your time" that's exactly what I did.

" The girl was backed up against a tree, she was sweaty and full of dirt. Her clothes tattered, like she, just got out of a fight. I kept hearing a man's voice in the distance, it got closer and closer"

"Did you heard what the man said?" I nodded my head

"Sweetie what did he say?" My stomach churned, wanting to empty all of its contents, but I held the urge in.

"He was toying with her, he kept saying Marco Polo like... Like it was a game, he said she wouldn't get away, because he'll always find her...then he got nearer, that's when she ran out of panic and...and then he.." I couldn't force the words to come out. I knew my aunt understood why.

"Is that all Ki?" She murmured.

"Yes" my voice came out shaky from recalling the memory

"Let's get you home so you can rest" she said, as we pulled out of the school's parking lot.

The ride home was a silent one, I just looked out the window. The houses and trees passed in a blur making them seem like a cartoon. I just wanted to sleep and forget, all the events that happened today. Most of my visions didn't affect me, maybe this one didn't. I hope that it didn't.

We slowly came around to our own little two story house, it wasn't much but to my aunt and I it was Home. It had some beautiful flowers that outlined the path that led to the front door. My aunt and I planted them this summer, it was fun.

She parked the car in the drive way and turned to me.

" I know this is hard for you Mija, but we will get through this together" she paused for a moment collecting her thoughts "you know I'm here for you... for anything you need and I know I say this all the time, but I really do mean it"

another pause, but I already knew what she was going to say.

"Your parents would be so proud of the young lady you're becoming." and that sentence alone brought back so many memories. My parents...

We both unbuckled our seatbelts and got out of the car. As soon as My feet touched the ground I bolted to the front door. I just wanted to head to my room and take a nap, I could hear my bed calling my name, tempting me with its clean sheets and downy pillows. As if that would actually happen but if it did it would be cool and creepy sleeping in a bed that could talk.
