Questions: Where?

Logic

'He's dead Sky, we saw it, we all saw it.' 'But Tom and I saw him in the woods.' 'You know what? We'll search for a few days, if we won't find him; we will find another way to destroy the stone. Okay?' Mali asks me, I nod.

I do believe he's out there in the woods 'But for now, we'll talk about other thing' I start to say.

I told them everything. About the tower that Mia told me yesterday. About Brandon, about the end of her story. 'So there's a tower somewhere, with more 100 students there?' Tom asks 'Yes, they were too dangerous; they had to put them in locked place. But I think they might know something that we dont.' 'Why?' Jacob asks 'I think that this is the question of last year. But I think so because they were alive and on our age when Cassandra's mother found out about the stone. She did to them mess like Cassandra do to us.' I say and look at him; he tries to understand everything that happened last hours. The fact that he's a vampire, he has to choose if to drink and die, or just to die.

'If why is the question of last year, what would be this year question?' Mali asks and smile at me 'Where.' Tom suggests 'Where this is good, where is the question.' I smile and say, they all smile to me. And then I see it, in their faces, inside their hearts. Something I havent seen before.

Faith.

'So, we have a few more things to solve,' I say and look at them 'Who will be our leader now?' 'Skyler, I think that it has never been Nash, or Jordan. It was about you this whole time, I think you have always been our leader.' Tom says 'He's right Sky. You are our leader.' Mali says and smile 'If you say so, I wouldnt say no.'

'Do you really believe that Nash wouldnt come back?' Mali asks 'I dont know. From his letter, I understood in what mess he is. Something that only time can fix. And even in it I doubt.' I say and look down.

'Maybe he will someday.' Tom says and smiles at me 'Maybe.' I say, I feel like each word that got out my mouth was a lie. I dont know, will he come back?

'Until then, we have to do a few things-' I start to say 'To go to the tower.' Mali says 'And to find the last professor. He's our answer guys, I know it. If we will show him that we are not part of the secret keepers, he will tell us where the rest of the stone is.' I say.

'After that we'll look for Jordan.' Tom says 'What if we'll find him?' Jacob asks 'Then we'll catch him. Fast as he might be. He won't be able to run from us. Skyler,' he looks at me 'If you see him, try to touch him, to get to him. To get answer to his disappearance.' I nod my head 'If we'll find him, we'll find where they're place, and we'll bring him back. Is it clear the south side?' I ask and smile.

'It's clear boss.' They smile and say to me, all together. I missed those happy days, Cassandra thought that she'll ruin us if Jordan will die, and Nash will leave. She had no idea that we'll keep on fighting.

'Can I come with you today?' Tom asks me before he leaves the room 'Yes, just say it to Mia.' He smiles to me and go.

Now it's just Mali and I 'Girl you're on fire!' she says and sit on the desk 'What do you mean?' I smile and ask, it remind me the days before Nash, that we were talking just like this.

'Tom is so into you!' she smiles and say 'He isnt!' 'If he won't invite you to winter prom and kiss you, I will have a flower coming out of my head, alright?' she smile and say 'Alright.' I shake her hand.

'Do you like him?' I sit next to her 'I guess so. I really liked him before I was with Nash. It has always been complicated to me.' I say back 'Let him kiss you. After that see what you feel about him, and tell him, if you are not over Nash, say it!' she hugs me with one hand.

'I think that I'm over him, kind of. I mean he left right?' she nods 'He probably won't come back so, what can happen?' I ask.

'Nothing go to sleep. Before you will go with Tom and Mia.' 'Wait, who invited you to prom?' 'I havent seen it coming too, Jacob asked me. He said that we both dont have anyone to go with, it'll be good for both of us, so I agreed.' She says 'Okay, good luck, he's a good dancer, by the way.' I smile and get out of the room, thinking about what I just said, I like Tom.

I have never thought that those three words will get out of my own mouth. Well, surprises have always been the kind of this school.

I lay down on my bed, I see myself here with Nash, like he's talking to me.

'I shouldve guess that after all this time, almost three month with him and with Mali, that you will feel something, while I'm here, still in love with the girl that I murdered her best friend.' He smile and say.

'It has never been your fault Nash.' I answer out loud, like he talks with me 'How do I feel it? Like its magic'

'You can call it whatever you want Sky. But it's not magic, the real Nash is in a coffee shop, talking to Christina, the girl he met just now, she tries to flirt him, but he laughs in her face telling her 'I love someone else, sorry' he smiles to her and she roll her eyes and go.' The fake Nash says.

'Nash would like you to be happy Skyler, even if I'm just some thought in your head that you decided to bring to life, I know it. You know it, that's why I say it; you just need someone to tell you that, that you'll feel better when Tom will kiss you.'

The fake Nash goes through me and disappears. I lay down; I really need to sleep if I start to see Nash in my room, talking to me.

'We are not enough; we won't be able to bring him alive. We need three at list on each one.' I say to Tom 'We need one more.' Mali says 'Who would it be?' Eva asks me 'Can it be me?' Nash shows up, his familiar smile shows on his face, the moment he shows up I take my hand off Tom. He looks the same, but so different. He's much stronger now, much old, much taller, his hair messy. 'Hey Nash!' Mali yells and run to hug him, after her Jacob and Tom, shaking his hand. Then, it's just us, alone. I look at his face, I missed him so badly. I run to his hug, the warm hug I wanted this whole time 'Sky!' he says 'I missed you.' I say. 'So you're with Tom now?' he looks to his right.

I wake up with sweat on my face, my dreams usually coming real. Like the nightmare about Jordan, it was real in the end. What if this dream is real too? Does it mean that Nash will come back?

I walk upstairs to Tom and Mia that waiting for me to arrive. 'Hey, I'm sorry that I late.' I say 'It's okay, I waited years for this moment.' Mia says 'Shell we?' Tom holds my left hand, Mia hold my right hand.
