This has to be some sadistic joke the highers are pulling on me. it has to be. She’s dead. She’s dead. She’s dead.

But she’s still fucking staring at me!

I push myself away from her. “Spencer!” I yell looking for her. There is nothing. No one is around.

Except. Kyla.

“This is NOT happening.” I shakily raise my hand to feel my gashes but there is nothing. I look down and chest is perfect. I must say my tits are looking exceptionally nice today.

GOD. There’s that A.D.D. I was talking about.

“Calm down.” Kyla moves over to me to get me to stop squirming.

For hell I’m gunna calm down. I get up on my shaky legs and move a few feet away. “Stay the fuck back!”

She laughs and stands up. She’s wearing the same dress from that day…

“Still haven’t changed have we?” she smirks.

“Where the fuck is Spencer?!” I try and call my sword to me. but I just look like a spastic person twitching her arm.

“She’s here.” Kyla looks to her left. I look but nothing.

“Right….”

“Just listen you can hear.”

I wait for a minute. “Stop being–.” Then I see it. Spencer yelling and that blonde woman striking her in the face.

I walk forward but the image disappears.

I turn towards Kyla. “Bring them back.”

Kyla sighs. “We are in limbo Ashley.” she starts fiddling with her hands “I wanted to talk to you before I do this.” She looks away. “And by the way. This whole shirtless thing you been doing the last couple of days. Isn’t cool.”

I roll my eyes. “Even if you’re dead, I will still kick your ass.”

Kyla chuckles and looks back at me. “I want to explain something to you, before we go back.”

We?

“The glowing freaks just want me to convince you to give up Spencer. That’s what they brought me down here for. They think you will follow me again.” She looks away. “Like before.”

I look down at my feet. Would I?

I open my mouth.

“No don’t talk let me finish.” She steps towards me and brings me into a hug. “I have missed you so much.”

I tense for a second. But she still feels like my sister. I wrap my arms around her and sigh into her shoulder.
