had to keep running. I
looked back, and Dante was driving up. He stopped next to
me.
    “ Come on, get in the car,”
he begged.
    “ No, I’m fine,” I said as I
picked up my pace.
    He drove a little farther
and turned down a street up ahead. He stopped right in front of the
sidewalk. I knew he wasn’t going to give up, now he was interested in me, but
only because of what he saw. I ran through a patch of bushes, and
through random backyards, until I made it to the stretch of woods
by the bar. The one with me and Dante’s spot. I needed to think, a
whole class full of people had just seen my power and if the
Alliance knew—no, I couldn’t think it.
    I ran to the rock. I didn’t
know what to do. Whatever was happening in the future was my fault.
Whatever would happen here would be my fault. I couldn’t even dream
of fighting the Alliance alone, and I had no one to help me. Then
it hit me—Elizabeth and George. They must be in those woods, just a
past version of themselves. Tomorrow I wouldn’t go to school—as if
I would have after what happened anyway. I would have to figure out
a way to get Rose’s car for the day, but I didn’t know how long I
would be gone.
    “ Hey,”
Dante said as he came up behind me. Great .
    “ Hi…” I mumbled. “How did
you know I would be here?”
    “ How did you know I would be
here the last time?”
    “ I didn’t,” I
replied.
    “ Well, then, why did you
come in the first place?” he wondered.
    “ What, you think you’re the
only one that knew about this place? I used to come here all the
time with my best friend.”
    “ Nicole?” he
asked.
    “ No, you.”
    “ I’ve never come here before
with anyone,” he said, confused, he shook his head. “What was going
on back at the school?”
    “ If it’s that much of a
shock to you, then I can’t really say,” I sighed. “If it isn’t bad
enough you saw, so did my whole sixth hour class.”
    “ Exactly what did I see?” he
said as he came closer.
    I didn’t understand why he
didn’t have powers; I couldn’t be the only person in the world with
powers, could I? If I was, that meant no Alliance, but I couldn’t
just assume. I grabbed his hand—an old habit he probably didn’t
appreciate—and as I did, the ghost of Dante appeared.
    “ Whoa,” Dante jumped back,
letting go of my hand. “What was that?” he asked.
    “ That was you…” I said under
my breath as I stared at the Dante who I’d known and loved for
years.
    “ Tell him… me… whatever,”
his ghost urged.
    “ About six months into the
future… you died,” I blurted.
    “ What? No, I don’t know
what’s going on with you, but you’re crazy, and I’m seeing
things.”
    I grabbed his hand.
    “ Why don’t you tell him,” I
said to Dante’s ghost.
    “ It’s true; everything that
she said was true. She was cornered by a group of people that
wanted to hurt us, so she went back in time. It was the only way
that she could fix things.”
    “ This is messed up, there’s
no way… this is crazy. I don’t know how you’re doing this, but
you’re crazy,” he babbled.
    “ I knew this was a bad
idea,” I said, shaking my head as I walked in circles.
    “ I need to leave; this is
too weird,” Dante said. He went to run, but I grabbed his
hand.
    “ Please don’t. You wanted to
know and now you do.”
    “ No, I need to leave, let me
go!” he yelled, and as he did he started to glow. Blue and green
swirls circled him; it wasn’t like it was before. They grew
brighter and brighter, until we were sitting in his basement. He
stared at me, and I stared back; he was in shock, and I was
relieved.
    “ You need to go,” he
ordered.
    “ I didn’t do that… you
did.”
     
     

Chapter 4:
Picture
    We sat there in silence. He
couldn’t believe that he did that, but somewhere deep inside, he
knew it was true. He was starting to realize that I was telling the
truth, but even if he did realize, would he help? I wasn’t sure
what it was that
