her eyes, Grace stood still and held the necklace tightly. She thought
about the scene they had visited last, thought about the sounds and the almost
overpowering heat.
    She started to
feel warmer, music began to thud in her ears. She opened her eyes.
    She was back in
the vision, back in the nightclub. It was full of young people, some dancing,
some chatting in groups, most of them drinking.
    Grace’s clothes
began to stick to her as she moved through the crowd. How could they bear the
heat? Ah. They don’t wear many clothes. Did she ever dress like that? Was she
ever that young?
    Grace spotted
Daisy standing at the bar. Daisy was smiling and touching the heart shaped
pendant hanging around her neck. Grace moved closer. It was weird just walking
through people, being invisible.
    She stood close
to Daisy. A young man approached Daisy and looked her up and down. He smiled at
her, his smile resembling a wolf’s. Grace’s scalp prickled again. She didn’t
like this man. She moved closer to hear their conversation.
    The young man
said, “Hey there, this sounds cheesy, but you’re the most beautiful girl here
tonight. You’ve got an amazing smile, you look so happy.”
    “Thanks,” Daisy
said shyly. “I’ve had some good news today, I passed my second year at
university. I can’t wait to tell my dad.”
    The man nodded.
“Brains as well as beauty. This calls for a celebration, let me get you a
drink.”
    Daisy looked
unsure. “I don’t drink much, I was going to have water. And my friends will
worry where I am.”
    The man leant
closer to Daisy and said, “Just one drink, then you can go back to your
friends.”
    Daisy still
didn’t look convinced.
    The man
dramatically clutched his heart and wailed, “Don’t turn me down! I can feel my
heart breaking already. Surely you won’t refuse me one drink? It’s bad manners
to refuse drinks. Look, there’s a table over there. I’ll bring us both a drink,
we can chat for ten minutes and then you can decide whether to chat some more -
or go back to your friends. What do you say?”
    “Well …” Daisy
began.
    The man looked
serious. “Okay, here’s the truth. See that group of lads over there?”
    Daisy looked over
to where he was pointing, so did Grace. She saw the group raise their drinks as
one towards them. They looked like a pack of wolves waiting for the kill.
Grace’s mouth went dry. She wished she could reach out and whisk Daisy away.
    The man
continued, “My friends said I would never be able to get you to talk to me, let
alone have a drink with me. I’m usually shy around girls, especially someone as
beautiful as you. Please, one drink, then I’ll leave you alone.”
    The man tried to
look earnest. Grace wasn’t fooled. Unfortunately, Daisy was.
    Grace watched in
mounting horror as Daisy took a seat near the bar. The nasty young man bought
two drinks. He discreetly took a small bottle from his pocket and, making sure
no one was looking, he dropped some sort of liquid into Daisy’s drink. He took
the drinks over to Daisy.
    Grace tried
calling out but no one could hear her. She swiped her hands through the air. Nothing
she did could stop what was happening.
    Daisy took a
drink. She grimaced and looked down at her glass. The young man smiled and took
a big gulp of his drink. Daisy drunk some more.
    Grace felt her
head begin to swim. The drink was definitely drugged. Grace put her hand to her
head, the room started to spin. She looked at Daisy, she had her hand to her
head too. Grace watched as the man lifted Daisy’s glass and forced the liquid
down her throat.
    Why didn’t anyone
stop him? Why couldn’t anyone see what he was doing?
    Daisy’s eyes
began to close, her head flopped to one side. The young man smirked. He turned
to his group of friends and gave them a thumbs up. Grace heard their cheers, it
was the sound of triumph.
    Grace’s vision
was blurring but she could still see what was happening. She saw the young man
put his arms around the
