Aurora imagined herself in a calm pond with the quiet wind blowing around her. Suddenly she noticed a quiet, soft voice. "Now open your eyes," the voice said. Rory opened her eyes.

"For the hundredth time your stupid meditation treatment is not working", Rory yelled as her counselor's eyes got narrower. Miss Timskey closed her eyes and started counting.

Suddenly she heard a piece of glass fall into the sink on the other side of the bathroom. Rory walked over and touched the broken mirror. Suddenly the floor gave in. She fell deeper and deeper until she hit a cold, hard floor.
