I was in the same field as before but this time, it was burning. All of the beautiful flowers were blackened and crumbling to mere dust. Cole was there. Cole....an uneasy feeling past through my stomach and I narrowed my eyes, trying to take in the situation.

It was difficult to understand at first. Everything was all out of orddr. On one side of the field, there were dinosaurs roaring and ripping people apart;on the other side were some sort of alien,  abducting people. Their faces were lumped and they had sharp teeth. I was pretty sure I knew what they planned to do with the people and bile rose in my throat.

Above all of this commotion,  Cole was speaking.  His voice was panicked and he would look around frequently for listeners. I starined to listen byr all I could hear was, "My fault."

"No!" I yelled, shaking my head. "It was My fault. You had nothin to do with it."

Cole moved forward until he was right in front of me, our noses touching. "I just wish you would listen to me. It is my fault." Then, before I could answer,  he closed the distance between us with a fierce kiss. My heart fluttered, then it felt like it stopped. I pushed Cole away from me with a gasp. This wasn't Cole. Cole wouldn't....

"Sierra!" Cole's voice echoed from all around me and I saw so many versions of Cole. I couldn't pick out the real one and the fake cole from behind me whispered in my ear,"No matter which Cole you choose, you'll always be wrong."

I looked down at my chest. There, right where  my heart should be, was a knife plunged in so all I could see was the hilt protruding from my torn flesh. I felt no pain, however. Only pleasure at the feel of the metal touching my heart. No tears were in my eyes. I was dying and I was glorius.

"NO!" The yell was far too familiar, too alone. A single Cole tore through the crowds of his copies, to my side where he knelt weeping. "I cannot lose you again."

"You never lost me." I said,  calmly.  Hell, I was calmer than I'd ever been. He frowned, confused and I continued on, smiling, "All of those queens...they were versions of me." He still looked confused. "Like all of these Coles. The queens came from the mind of Julia Smith.  Just like I did. Just like me." And with thay, I offered my 'King' a hand and kissed him. It felt real. Nice and I never wanted to stop. But I was regaining consciousness.  'No, I want to stay here. Where I want to die.' But I don't have a choice. The dream blurred then dissolved completely.

And I opened my eyes. The Nurse from before was flashing a light in my eyes and I winced away from the sharp brightness that came from it. "It is true then?" I asked of no one in particular. "I am a part of him and him of me."

The Nurse's eyes widened in Concern, "What do you mean?"

I stared at her and stayed silent. She wouldn't understand my dilemma...but Alice would. "Alice." I croaked, looking up at my Nurse. "I need Alice." On a second thought, I added, "and Cole."

"Is it important?" Nurse asked, "If not, I cannot recommend it. Only fami-"

"It is."

"Then I will be back with your friends."

"What is so important to call me? My mom is in a Com-" Alice paused, staring straight at Cole. I knew that look.  It was her 'Ooh a hot boy, maybe I will date him'  look.
