I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror at myself trying to get myself prepared to seeing him. None of us could really guess what would happen. I was scared. Last time I saw him we both almost died. I took a few deep breaths and walked back into the living room where everyone looked at me and then to El.

El let go of Mikes hand and walked to me and took mine. "We can do this." She smiled. I hugged her.

"Okay." I breathed in and out trying to stay calm.

She put a blindfold around her head and she took my hand in hers.

She heavily breathed for a moment, and struggled.

And then all the sudden everything when black. Everything. And then I looked over to see El. I jumped.

"Can you hear me?" She asked and I shook my head. "Do you see him?" She asked and I turned my head to see Billy in the distance. I jumped at that too.

She waited till I calmed down a little bit. I started to cautiously walk. I held my hand out behind me signalling for her to walk behind me just incase.

We got closer to him and the closer I got the more I realized how things worked here

We got closer to him and the closer I got the more I realized how things worked here. He couldn't see us. He just looked emotionlessly and deadly straight in front of him. I was only a couple of feet away and I started to tear up. He had countless bruises and cuts and all kinds of injuries. I was now inches from him and I crouched down on my knees to around his height. I looked slightly up into his eyes. He continued looking dead straight. I put my hand on his and held it. A tear fell from my eyes from the contact of my hand on his. Feeling his hand in mine again. He didn't even blink.

"Billy, can you hear me?" I asked

"Billy, can you hear me?" I asked. "It's me, it's Quinn. Can you hear me? C-can you show us what happened " My voice shook. I looked back at El and she cautiously took her eyes off him and looked down to me. I sighed and stood back up. I tucked a piece of hair behind his ears and he looked up at me with tears of sadness in his eyes making me jump. But then frown.

"Billy?" I cried. I put my hand on his face and whipped the fallen tear away and caressed his cheek bone. He grabbed my wrist and I gasped. "BILLY!" I yelled trying to tug away. "EL!" I screamed and his grip got tighter and tighter. El was pulling me back and heavily and fearfully breathing. She kept pulling me back. Billy was squeezing my wrist angrily. I screamed and then he let go. El screamed as we both slipped and started to fall backwards.
