Chapter 22

Gavin and Seth weren't in school today either... It's been a day since I went to visit them. I can't stop thinking about how Gavin is doing and how he has been treated. Why is Froam so mean to him...? I can't believe this. None of it seems real.

"So what movie do you want to watch?" Jason asks me. We are in his room right now getting ready to watch a movie. I can't seem to get Gavin out of my brain but I can't stop the rest of my life because I can't stop thinking about him.

"I will watch anything. Have any ideas?" I ask. He looks back at his movies. He scrolls through them for a moment, carefully scanning each movie title.

"We can watch the Hangover, Stepbrothers or the Evil Dead."

"Ew" I stick my tongue out, "The Evil Dead is an awful movie." He laughs, "I like Stepbrothers." I say with a shrug.

"Stepbrothers it is." he says. He stands up from the floor with the movie in his hand. He puts the DVD into his Xbox then turns the lights off and joins me in his bed.

"I love this movie it's hilarious." I say with a smile.

"Same, my favorite part is when they build the bunk beds." he says with a laugh. I smile at his comment, then the opening credits begin.

I face the screen and watch the movie.

*****

"Time to eat." A voice says. I look up and see darkness. Huh? As I push myself up a bit, I feel the pressure of cold cement against my legs and palms. A light chill passes through me.

Well, I guess I'm no longer in Jason's comfy bed. I feel the familiar sense of being in a vision and I sigh. At least it's just a vision and I'm not really in some creepy, unknown, cement-filled place.

I hear metal clank up against metal. Then a clicking sound rings around me. Following that is the sound of something scraping along the floor. Someone must be opening a metal door or something. I stand up completely and start to walk toward the noise.

After a bit, I come to a little area that is lit by a small lantern. The lantern is outside a cell and the gate to the cell is open. I walk up to the cell. As I get closer I notice two figures.

One is big. It is standing and has a tray of food in it's hand. The second figure is small and on the ground.

The first figure bends down and places the tray in front of the second figure.

A frail voice speaks up just then. "Thank you." She says.

"You're welcome, now hurry up Ariana. I have things to attend to." The deep voice demands.

Ariana? Oh my god, it's Gavin's sister. I take a step forward and the light partially illuminates a girl. She appears to be around my age and she is sitting on the cold cement floor. Her dark brown hair is dirty and lies on her shoulders at mid length. She quickly eats her food and the man takes the tray from her.

He turns so he is facing me. I recognize his face. He's the man that beat up Trevor. This has to be Froam.

I quickly run away. I have to figure out where I am right now before my vision fades. I managed to find a set of stairs. I hurry up them and open the door at the top of the stairs. Light bursts through the door as I open it and I struggle to adjust my eyes to the sudden brightness. I see that I'm in a decent sized room. It kind of looks like a bedroom since there is a bed, wardrobe, bookshelf and such. The floors are all white tile and the walls are white as well. I hear Froam quickly follow my steps and he appears behind me. I watch as he shuts the door we just came out of, then he slides his bookshelf in front of it to cover up the door.

I run out the room and see that I'm in what looks to be a hospital hallway. This is unexpected...

Okay, so I guess I'm going to have to go to the stairs... I run off to my left. I see an emergency exit door. I walk through and a giant 3 is written on the wall in front of me.. Well, I guess that means I'm on the third floor. I run down the flight of stairs and go straight out the emergency exit door on the bottom floor. I run around to the front of the building and try to find the address of the hospital.

Unfortunately I find nothing, not even a hospital sign. Suddenly this world begins to feel less real and I know that I am starting to fade from the vision. No! Not yet! I need to find out where this is. I struggle to stop my surroundings from disappearing.

I run into the lobby. What can help me? I spot the front desk, I suppose that's my best bet. Just then I notice the things in the room start to slip away fast.

I glance down at the desk and see a bunch of mail, a stapler, paper, pens and pencils. Then I look to my right and see a computer. A computer can't help me, god this is useless! Wait.

Hold on, did I say mail? Mail! I look back down at the mail and see the address.

Worric Hospital, 325 Wells st.

Worric? Wasn't that hospital abandoned years ago? The mail dissipates from my hands and I find myself in total darkness. I fall straight down into the dark pit.

My eyes snap open and I fly up. I glance around and sigh, I'm no longer in my vision. I reach up and feel the sweat that has perspired on my forehead. I wipe it off and take in a shaky breath. I've never fought to stay in a vision like that. It was hard.

I glance around and see Jason lying in bed next to me. I look at the clock, it's only 11:50. We must have fallen asleep during the movie, but I guess I knew that since I was in a vision.

I hop out of his bed and run back to my room. I can't just sit around and wait anymore. I open up my laptop and google the address of Worric Hospital.

It's 325 Wells street, just like in my vision. I print out the directions, fold them up and put them on my bed. I go into my closet looking for something a robber would wear. Since I'm currently lacking proper robber attire, I change into a black long sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans. I put on my black combat boots and grab the directions off my bed and throw it in my pocket.

Well here goes nothing... I'm going to get Ariana back for Gavin. My vision better not fail me...

*******

It took me over an hour but I finally managed to make it to my destination. I'm sitting in the tree line in front of the hospital panting from my hike here. The fact that I don't have a car is starting to get to me, this is twice now that a car would have been perfect.

I start to creep out of the tree line and approach the hospital when a car pulls in. I quickly duck back into the bushes.

It parks in front of the building and then turns off. People start to get out. I look closer and see that it's Tori, Gavin, Seth and the rest of them. Crap, why are they here right now? They walk in through the front and disappear through the door.

I slowly creep my way to the emergency exit that's at the side of the building. I reach the door, praying that something can go right for me and the door will be unlocked. I pull it gently and it opens up easily. Thanking my lucky stars, I creep into the door and close it quietly behind me.

I silently make my way up the stairs. I eventually see a familiar number three on the wall. I smile, piece of cake.

I open up the door quietly and peer into the hall. I don't hear any noises or see anyone so I continue my trek. I walk to the room that has that secret door. I'm about to open it when I hear footsteps coming in my direction. Shit! I quickly grab the door nob and turn it. To my relief it opens with ease and I slip into the dark room quietly. I close the door and turn on the light.

I look around. This is definitely the right place, it looks exactly the same as the one in my vision. I hurry over to the bookshelf that's pressed against the wall and blocking the door. I go up to it and try to push it to the side. Unfortunately the thing is very heavy and I'm still just a human. After struggling with it at first, it finally starts to move. It scrapes along the floor as I press against it with all my strength. As I continue to push, something falls to the floor and makes a clinking sound. After successfully moving the book case all the way, I reach down and pick up what fell. Huh. It looks like a key ring with a couple of keys on it. That's interesting.

I shove it into my pocket and open up the secret door. Wow, this all seems pretty easy... I have a bad feeling about this.

As the door opens, light filters down onto the steps and I can see how long the stairs really are. Damn, these must be at least four floors deep.... I quickly fly down the stairs. By the time I get to the bottom all I can see is darkness.

I give my eyes a moment to adjust and I look to my right. This is where I cane from in my vision, she has to be this way. I walk down the creepy hall and suddenly I stop. I sense a presence near me. I look to my left.

"Froam?" A gentle voice asks.

"No." I say. "My name is Evelyn. I'm friends with your brother, Gavin." I add so that way she isn't scared of me.

"Gavin?" She asks gently, as if the name seems almost foreign to her.

"Yes. He's been trying really hard to get you out of here, things have just been hard for him. Don't worry. I'm going to help you escape with him."

"No!" She says. "You can't, he will kill Gavin. Froam told me if I ever tried to leave he would kill him."

"Don't worry Ariana. I won't let that happen." I say and walk up and touch the cage. "If you come with me now, Froam won't know until you both have already escaped."

"But I'm locked in." She states. Oh yeah, crap. What do I do...? Then it hits me. I laugh. "What's so funny?" she asks.

"I think I have the key." I pull out the keys from my pocket and feel for the lock. When I find it I slowly put the first key into it. I twist. Nothing. I fumble around for the next one. I put it in a twist again. A light clicking noise sounds and I smile.

I pull the door open. "Come on." I say. I hear a little bit of shuffling as she gets closer to me.

"Evelyn... I'm scared." she says. I reach my hand out and grab her boney and cold hand.

"I'm right here, nothing to be scared of." I say gently. She squeezes my hand back and I drag her toward the staircase. I walk up the stairs with Ariana in tow. We finally make it to the top and both Ariana and I are out of breath. I suck in some more air and I turn to her. "Ariana I need to shut and hide this so he doesn't get suspicious." She nods.

I shut the door and go back to the book case. I struggle again with it and push it in front of the door. As I'm about to give it one last push, the door to the hospital room rips open. My head shoots up and I see Froam standing in the doorway with Tori, Gavin, Seth and them right behind him.

Froam looks at Ariana. "I thought I told you to never leave." He spits with venom in his tone. She looks at me scared. I frown and move to stand in front of her protectively. He doesn't frighten me.

"You can't tell her what to do anymore." I say to him angrily. I glance behind him and see Tori, who looks shocked to see me. Then I look at Gavin. He looks paralyzed. He's staring at Ariana in complete shock. How long has it been since he has seen his sister?

"Who do you think you are?" Froam asks me viciously. Then he looks back at Ariana. "Come here." Ariana takes in a shaky breath then takes a step toward him. I catch her arm in my hand.

"Don't listen to him." I say. She gives me worried look. I look at Froam. "Let them go." I say to him.

He gives me an stern look. "I'm the only one who gives orders around here. Now Ariana get over here now!" He shouts in what seems to be an Alpha tone. Ariana shrinks down next to me and takes another step toward him.

"Wait." I say and grab her arm tighter stopping her from moving. She looks at me with pained grey eyes. I turn to Froam. "Take me and let them go."

He is quiet for a moment then he bursts out into laughter. "Why the hell would I want you? I don't even know who you are. How did you even get into my house?"

I frown and glare at him. "I'm Evelyn Brewer." This catches his attention a little bit. "And you would want me because I can-"

"Evelyn no." Gavin says sternly from behind Froam. I look at him and he pleads me to stop with his eyes. I shake my head at him. I'm doing this for him.

"I have an ability like my sister, I can predict the future." I say and look into Froam's eyes. I see shock. "So take me. Let Ariana, Gavin and Seth go. And please leave Kari alone. I will go with you willingly just please. Stop this."

"How do I know I can trust you?" Froam says.

"You can trust that I want my loved ones safe and I won't jeopardize that."

"Fine." he says simply. I look at him in shock. That's it? "Well come here." he says. I slowly release Ariana's hand, I look at him skeptical for a moment. He waves me closer to him.

I walk up to him and he grabs my arm painfully tight. I suck in a sharp breath as the pain shoots through my arm. Froam looks at Ariana.

"You're free to go." he says to her. She looks shocked for a moment then she runs up to Gavin and hugs him. He hugs her back but then looks at me with worry in his eyes.

I give him a smile showing I'm okay. Suddenly I feel a sharp pull and Froam drags me through the door.

"I said I would come with you willingly, stop holding my arm so tight." I demand. He stops and turns around looking me straight in the eyes.

"I make the orders around here. If you tell me to do something one more time, you will be punished. Do you understand?" I nod as fear creeps into my body for the first time.

Froam pulls out his phone. He mumbles a couple of words then shouts and shuts his phone angrily. I wonder what that is about. I'm not even going to ask.

He continues to drag me forcefully around. After walking down three flights of stair and through the lobby, Froam makes it outside. A black car is pulling up to the hospital. When it parks in from of us, Froam opens up the back door and throws me in forcefully. I hit the seat with a thud and almost slam my head on the door.

Froam hops in next to me. He shuts the door. A few seconds later Tori hops into the front seat. Then the driver presses the gas pedal and off we go. I sit up in the seat and watch as the hospital becomes a mere speck in the distance.

"Where are we going?" I ask nervously.

"Back to where I belong."
