myself in the room, swirling in a humid block.
     
    I was everywhere and all the nooks and crannies of this place were disgusting and germy. As soon as I began to panic about the germs, it felt like a rubber band snapping. With pure force, I was driven back to a state of form. My eyes popped open and I looked at Nessa who was smiling smugly. I grabbed my clothes off the floor and put them back on.
     
    “See, I told you. You can do it without any help from me. It is all about meditation and control. Let’s try it again,” Nessa said.
     
    Just the thought of all the germs made me shiver. “No way, this place is disgusting. I wanted to gag in that form. That was what snapped me back. There were way too many germs infested in this place.”
     
    “Okay, it is really late so I have an idea. Let’s try it again only this time I will go get some snacks from the snack machine and you can follow me. You have to get this down Cora. We can’t afford for you to lose control and draw attention to us when we are out somewhere. Please, try again for me,” Nessa pleaded.
     
    “Fine, but make sure no one is out there first. If I mist back accidentally, I don’t want anyone seeing me.”
     
    She grinned as if she had just won a battle. Then she opened the door and peered outside. When she shut the door, she turned to me. “All clear, you can try again. I will wait until you mist before I head for the snack machine.”
     
    As before, I sat cross legged and imagined the same dandelion. It was easier this time. I pretended I was a fluffy bit and I let the wind carry me. Soon I dissolved into a million pieces, feeling weightless. Nessa jumped up and opened the door, heading for the snack machine. The fresh air was enticing and I slipped out the door and swirled on the breeze.
     
    Nessa got the snacks and I reluctantly followed her back in. She took her time shutting the door but I was not in all the way. I seeped through the doors seams before forming just on the other side with another snap. This time I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I got dressed.
     
    “That was so amazing!” I gushed. “It is a rush unlike anything I have ever felt. It is like I am there yet I am so free and weightless. I think I have it down now. The dandelion trick works really well, thanks,” I added.
     
    “I never doubted you could do it. Somehow, we were chosen to become special. It just scares me to think about why,” she confessed.
     
    “I don’t know about you but I am totally exhausted. I think it is time we get some sleep so we can start fresh tomorrow,” I said.
     

 
     
    Chapter 4:
     
    When I woke, Nessa was already up and pacing the room. I tried to wipe the grogginess from my sleepy eyes and threw back the nasty comforter. Nessa looked worried and tired. I felt nothing but compassion for her as she tried to digest everything that the last twenty-four hours had brought us. It was a lot to take in and I was having trouble with things myself.
     
    “Good morning sunshine,” Nessa said.
     
    “Good morning early bird,” I replied.
     
    “I couldn’t sleep anymore. I have been trying to figure things out and thinking about our next move.”
     
    “Yeah, a simple murder investigation has gone extremely sideways. Why would someone do this to us? I have no doubt Tom was killed because of it,” I said.
     
    “I have been thinking a lot about that. Not only are we running from the police, but now we are running from some unseen threat. We can’t trust anyone but the two of us from now on. I think we should get a cheap used car and get the hell as far away as possible,” Nessa replied.
     
    “I second that. This is all so creepy. I feel like we are in some sort of strange horror movie, forget an episode of Buffy. We have passed into official horror movie territory.”
     
    “Ok, I will call information and see if there is a used car lot nearby. Then we can drive all day until we are far from this mess.”
     
    “It’s a
