The Give Away

Chapter 6

A week later Reilly woke up, she had fallen 6 stories from the top dormitory window. I was by her side when she woke up, 'Reilly!' I said as I leaned over the edge of the bed hugging her, she looked around 'Hope? Where am I?' She said surprisedly. 'You're in the school hospital' I said suspiciously. 'What happened to me?' She asked scaredly. 'Reilly, don't you remember?' I asked worriedly. 'I remember being at in my dormitory on the top floor and finishing unpacking, then, nothing.' She said sitting up in the bed. 'Oh good you are awake' Rosemary said as she bustled into the room. I ran over to her. I whispered to her everything that Reilly just told me, we walked over to Reilly, Rosemary sat down on the bed. 'Reilly, I trust you are feeling better?' She asked with a warm hearted smile. 'Yes thank you' Reilly said with a smile in return. 'Now Reilly, I am going to take you to the headmaster' Rosemary said calmly. 'I have to go to class now, hope you feel better Reilly!' I called as Rosemary wheeled Reilly out on a stretcher. I went to my classes, I was beginning to think that the dream I had the other night wasn't just a random coincidence. I walked to my dormitory and laid on my bed staring up at the ceiling with my hands folded on my stomache. Jane came in and laid next to me, 'hey' she said turning her head towards me 'hey' I said still staring blankly at the ceiling. 'Ok, out with it. Whats going on?' She asked as she turned onto her stomache resting her head on her hands kicking her feet in mid air. 'Nothings wrong' I said still staring at the ceiling, 'Come on, we're twins, I know somethings up Hope' she said laughing kindly. 'Alright but you can't tell. I had a nightmare two weeks ago. About our Aunt. She says if I don't make a choice, whatever that is, that. I won't like what I find or something like that. I'm scared that what happened to Reilly wasn't an accident.' I said. 'What do you mean? Do you think our Aunt did it?' She asked confusedly. 'I'm not sure, maybe. Oh and there was a girl, Aunt Magora said she was her daughter, she looked like a younger version of mum only with white blonde hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a mask as well. I don't know whats going on but if she tries to hurt anyone else I don't know what I'll do.' I said as I started throwing a rock at the ceiling boredly. 'Oh ok. Oh I forgot to tell you, I saw her, in the school grounds yesterday. She was near the willow tree.' She said blankly. 'How did she get in?' I asked panicking. 'I don't know, I'm not even sure if it really was her. Don't worry' Jane replied. 'Ok, thanks for telling me though' 'No problem' We sat on the bed not really knowing what to say, we held hands knowing we had each others back like sisters should. 'Anyway, I should probably have a shower, I didn't have one yesterday because I was with Reilly' I said. 'Oh ok, seya' Jane said as she walked out of the room. After my shower I came out of the bathroom with a towel around me, I got into my pyjamas and rubbed my hair with the towel hanging my head upside down. I flicked my head back letting my long, wet black hair hit my back. I fell backwards onto my bed, my hair tangling around me. I sighed and sat back up, I grabbed my brush and started brushing my hair. Sara came in, she looked bored. 'Hey' Sara said as she came in and sat next to me 'Hey' I said. We fell backwards onto the bed, 'how are you? Haven't seen you much since we changed dormitories' I asked. 'Pretty good, what about you?' She replied. 'I'm alright, kinda tired though' I replied yawning. I felt like we were kind of drifting apart, practically ever since I met her we had been best friends but over the past few weeks we haven't been able to talk as much with all the drama going on. 'Yeah I'm pretty tired to, haha you haven't changed the room much' she said. 'Yeah, I don't feel like I should, it was our dormitory once. Besides it feels really empty without other people in here, it's weird' I said as we stared at the ceiling. 'Yeah, I've changed my room a bit but it's not the same. Do you think you are going to change your room?' She asked. 'I don't know. Should I?' I asked. 'If you feel like you want to yeah' she replied. We talked for ages, we hadn't talked like this for weeks. I missed it. In the end Mr Detelić came around and told her to go to back to her dormitory. 'Night Hope' she said as she left 'night Sara' I replied, I stood up in front of my mirror. I cracked up laughing, I looked like I had just came out of a wind tunnel. I brushed my hair, it went straight again. I yawned, fell back onto my bed, pulled up the covers and turned off the light. I decided to try something, 'Night guys' I said, I waited for a reply 'night' I heard Lloyd's voice say quietly, 'night' Sara and Lana's voices echoed simultaneously, then came Jane and Kieran, 'Night' I heard Roberts voice say. 'Goodnight Hope' I heard him say again, this time felt like it was just between us. 'I thought you just said goodnight, can the others hear us?' I asked. 'Don't think so, I think this Link thing is kind of like a radio, their are different channels. Besides, I felt like i should say good night to you personally, I love you.' I heard him say, now that I thought about it it did feel different when I was talking to just one person compared to a whole group. 'I love you to' I replied. 'Good night' I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
