Saving Her

11. Sent By The Gods

     I try to scream but no sound comes out. I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. I get out of bed and run over to the light switch and turn on the light, but now it's gone. I turn off the light and there "it" is again. I'm frozen in place and don't know what to do. Then, out of nowhere, the ghostly figure comes towards me.
     "Hello Grace, it's nice to see you again."
     "W-who are you?" I quaver.
     "You don't know who I am?" The "ghostly figure" sounds hurt. "Do you not remember your best friend?"
     "Josephine?"
     "Yes I am Josephine." My mouth drops open. How could this be? Josephine was murdered, how could she be in this very room?
     "B-but how?" I'm trembling now.
     "I can't tell you, the only thing I can tell you is that you can save me and bring me back to life." Josephine says.
     "What do I have to do?"
     "I'm going to give you this time-turner. Go back to last week and and find a way to save me, and then, and only then, will things go back to normal." She informed me. Then she gave me a small watch, it was gold and had small diamonds on it.
     "Any questions?" Without waiting for an answer, there was a bright beam of light under her, then she was gone. Of course I had many questions like, why was my pillow wet? Or am I dreaming? But I wasn't dreaming, if I was dreaming I wouldn't have a "time turner" in my had right now.
