The Girl In The Back Row

Chapter 6

Do you want to know who it is in the water?

Get ready for.... nothing incredibly amazing.

Or maybe not.

Unknown POV

Wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP! says the little voice in my head. I think back. Why am I sleeping? Why can't I wake up? Why is it so vital that I do?

I can't fight the darkness and fall back into a deep sleep.

*********
I wake again and this time my eyes open ever so slightly to 3 girls looking down on me. Crap. Is my only thought.

Autumn POV

After a week she opens her eyes and we all look.

She groggily looks up and says "Who are you?" She has bright blue eyes that compliment her short curly blond hair. I give her a small smile and say "I'm Autumn, this is Marley and Clarissa." She sizes us up and says "I'm Coral."

I'm so relieved that I almost cry. I've been holed up here watching over her all week. My parents let me stay here with them because they know about the severity of the sisterhood bond.

Which happens to be growing. In fact, now that she's up, we can Travel. TRAVEL!!!! I'll never be late to class again! Never face Ashton or the bus again. I can just Travel! Life is good. At least for me. At this very exact moment. Not for much longer, though because I have to go to school now. My parents demanded I go as soon as she woke.

*********

As soon as I walk out of school I Travel to the house. Yep, I could get used to that.

I hear them talking as I walk in with a smile. And for the next hour, I join. We find out so much about Coral. And about why she was in the ocean in the first place. She was attacked by someone she saw a symbol. It was a leaf with holes in it and a fire underneath. Then she blacked out as she said. "I think that they thought I was dead and that's why they left me."

Coral POV

They seem nice enough, but then again, so did he.

I can already tell that they are close and want me to be in their circle. Technically I am. I mean they did save my life. That means that I'm in their sisterhood. I could be in a worse sisterhood though so this is good. They're my age and everything. I answer Marley and Clarissa's questions and they answer mine. They get along with me surprisingly well. I hope that it stays that way. I finally answer questions about how they found me. As I say "I think that they thought I was dead and that's why they left me." I feel dizzy and several seconds later I'm passed out again.

*************

Sorry it's short but I'm about to pass out too.
