The memory slipped away as I tried to grasp it. I want to remember more.
I need to remember more.
Something happened at the beach that day. I met someone before I drowned.
Her.
She pushed me into the water after warning me. Why?
All I know is that I have a lead now. The answers I need are on that piece of paper.
I looked out into the distance.
I need to find it. It's important. I just know it.
"Summer..."
I turned around to see my friends in front of me.
"Guys..."
They bowed awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
"Come on guys, you're my friends, and I'm still me!"
Hailey got up and pulled me into a hug.
"Oh Summer, we were so worried about you," said Hailey.
The rest of my friends joined in and hugged me.
"You're not mad at my mother?" I asked as I stepped back.
"You're the keeper of Summer, it's important that you're safe," said Liam as he smiled at me.
"She had to protect you," said Raven as she smiled reassuringly.
Wren elbowed me and grinned, "Besides, if we were never sent here with our memories wiped out in the first place, we wouldn't have been friends,".
"Henry!"
We looked over to see Ingrid running towards Henry.
"Dad!" exclaimed Hailey as she ran to join them.
I looked out at the shore once again. My next clue is out there, wherever it is.
"People of Penumbra, it is time we return," said Nature.
Henry, Ingrid, and Hailey jogged over to us.
"Summer, pack what you need. We will be leaving for Penumbra in a few minutes," said Henry.
Before I could reply, Hailey grabbed my arm and ran towards her house.
"Come on, Summer. I can't leave without all of my clothes!" said Hailey.
Ah Hailey, never change.
I guess that explains why she looks absolutely flawless and knows all about fashion. I can't exactly blame her for behaving that way when that's her ability.
"Hey, Hailey. I have a question," I asked as we were on our way to the house.
