Wisteria woke up facing her bedroom ceiling, breathing steadily. She wondered how she got there, and tried to sit up. Her head throbbed and she touched it gingerly, wincing. Her sister came into the room, smiling when she saw she was awake.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Emma asked kindly.
"My head hurts." Wisteria whined.
"Well, you hit it off of a chair. That's probably why." Emma said, laughing slightly.
Wisteria shook her head, but couldn't help smiling. Emma never failed to make her smile, even when she was feeling down.
"Why did you faint? You only faint when you're in shock." Emma asked, concerned.
Wisteria gulped. She wasn't sure if she could tell Emma about the phone call, not sure if she would understand.
"Well... I got this phone call." she started.
"And..?" Emma prompted.
"It kinda maybe sounded like it might have been Rachel on the other end." she blurted.
There was silence for a few moments, and Wisteria could feel her heart beating out of her chest.
"Wispy, I know this whole thing with Rachel is stressing you out, but you must let it bother you too much. It's bad for your health." Emma said gently.
"I know, I just can't help worrying about it, she means a lot to me." Wisteria whispered, blushing slightly.
Emma smiled softly.
"I know, but don't worry. She'll be fine, I know it." she whispered.
"Thanks Em." Wisteria said softly.
Emma nodded, smiled at Wisteria, then walked out the door and left her in peace. Wisteria lay back on her bed, sighing heavily. Her phone started ringing and she picked it up gingerly. It was Jacob, so she relaxed and pressed answer.
"Hey! How you feeling?" Jacob asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Jacob, my head hurts a little but nothing more." she reassured him.
"That's good. Me and Amy went back to mine after school, and we found out something pretty interesting about that girl we found yesterday." Jacob said wearily.
"What? What is it?" Wisteria asked.
"I think it would be better if we showed you." he said quietly.
"What do you mean? What happened? Is everything ok?" Wisteria asked him frantically.
"I guess. Can you come over, like, now?" he asked.
"I'll have to climb out the window but sure, yeah." Wisteria said, hanging up the phone.
She stuffed her pillows under her duvet to make it look like she was sleeping, then she packed her bag with the essentials. She then climbed out the window and slid down onto the driveway. She looked over her shoulder to make sure no one saw her, then pulled up her hood and disappeared into the shadows.*a few minutes later*
Wisteria knocked at the door to Jacob's basement tentatively, looking around anxiously. He opened the door and quickly hustled her inside.
"What is it?" Wisteria asked curiously, turning to stare at Jacob.
"I just didn't want anyone to see."
"See what?" Wisteria whispered, a look of confusion spreading across her face.
Jacob led her to the couch. Amy was sitting there, speaking to the girl. She glanced up, and smiled at Wisteria.
"You feeling ok?" she asked kindly.
Wisteria smiled faintly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My head still hurts a little though."
"That's good, you're feeling better." Amy smiled.
Wisteria nodded, and glanced at Jacob, then at Amy.
"So? Anyone wanna tell me why I've been summoned to Midgets basement on such short notice?" she joked, smiling at them cheekily.
Jacob breathed in sharply, then placed his hands on Wisterias shoulders.
"Ok. We'll show you." he said, turning her around to face Seven.
Wisteria stared at Seven, who stared back, her eyes wide. Amy placed her hand on her shoulder and smiled at her. Seven smiled back at Amy faintly, then back to Wisteria. Wisteria smiled at her kindly, then Seven exhaled slowly. Amy fiddled with her bracelet, taking it off and placing it on the floor in front of Seven, who stared at it for a few moments before closing her eyes.
"I don't understand, what is this supposed to-"
Wisteria started, trailing off as she saw the bracelet slowly rise up from the floor and hover in mid air. Wisteria gaped at the floating bracelet, shooting quick glances at Amy and Jacob. They looked slightly calmer, they had probably seen this before. The girl started breathing heavily, and blood started to leak out of her eye, slowly running down her face. The bracelet wobbled slightly, then dropped to the ground. The girl sank back on the couch, breathing heavily. Wisteria still stood staring, open mouthed at what she had just witnessed.
"H-how? How is that possible?" she blustered.
"I don't know, it's weird, whatever it is." Jacob sighed, sitting on the couch.
Amy ran her fingers through her hair, biting her lip.
"We need to figure out what it is, if we don't it could be dangerous." she said worriedly.
Jacob nodded, agreeing with Amy. Wisteria nodded as well, but she looked doubtful.
"We do need to figure this out, but we also need to figure out what happened to Rachel." she reasoned.
"Maybe they're connected in some way, Sev's powers and Rachel going missing." Jacob wondered.
"This is too much for me to take in right now, I'm gonna go home." Wisteria said.
Jacob nodded, understanding.
"Okay, I'll see you out." he said kindly.
"I'm sorry, I've just had a rough day, ugh I feel terrible."
"Wisp, it's okay! I understand." Jacob laughed, shaking his head at her.
Wisteria smiled weakly.
"Bye Wisp." Amy said gently.
"Bye Angel." Wisteria whispered, walking out of Jacobs door and venturing into the pitch black night.
She swallowed, and started walking home quickly. Ever since Rachel went missing on this road or somewhere near there, Wisteria was paranoid that something would happen to her too.
"Oh, I hope Rachel's all right." she whispered, before walking up her driveway and climbing in her window. She drifted off to sleep, thinking about Rachel and Sevens new found powers. It was definitely something that they would have to find out more about. All these thoughts were racing through Wisterias head as she fell asleep, breathing gently.AN- the ending sucks but I wrote it at 2am give me a break okie byee💙
