I can never get used to the feeling I get after jumping back, it's feels as if your disassociating from your body and you can't really get a grasp on reality.
 
Bellamy was a little shaken up after the fact. He had to sit down for a while and shake the feeling out of him.

"That was umm-" he says before cutting himself short and grasping his head tightly.

I run over to him to quickly.

"Are you okay?" I ask worryingly,
looking at his face making sure he is okay.

"Yeah, I'm just a little dizzy" he says waving me off.

My hand nonchalantly went to the side of his face.

"Are you sure? We don't know if the jumps have side effects yet." I tell him.

"Yes, I feel fine" he says moving a little closer to my face.

We stayed like this for a few more seconds. His hand reached out and tucked a strand of hair that was on my face. His breathing started to get heavy as he stared at me with something in his eyes that I can't comprehend.

I pulled away and stood up.

"Well then, we better get to bed if we want to get to school tomorrow on time" I say, looking anywhere but his face.

"Uh, yeah" he stood up and went to the door of the basement.

He opened the door handle and before he shut it behind him I heard him whisper.

"Goodnight, Annie" and the door shut right after that.

I pretended not to have heard that and went to my desk quietly and laid my head on the desk table.

I stayed like that for a few minutes trying to wrap my head around all that has happened today.

Will my presence in that realm really cause harm to the universe? Or was that witch just saying that to scare me off?

And why was Bellamy acting so weird? Maybe he was just shaken up by the jump? Yeah it's probably that.

I really hope Henry and Maria won't dwell on my clumsiness too much. Yeah, why would they? I'm a teenager they probably understand.

With that thought in mind I collected myself and got up and went up to my room quietly trying not to wake anybody up.

I change into my fluffy pijamas and I tuck myself in.

I turn my head to look at the clock on my nightstand '1:58am' it reads.

Shit, I need to be up at 7am.

I force my eyes shut trying to make myself fall asleep.

With no avail, I toss and turn trying.

I open my eyes sighing, resting my hand on my forehead.

I got out of bed huffing, put on my normal clothes and went back to the basement.

I open the door silently, the last thing I need is for someone to wakeup and ask me what the hell I'm doing here at 2 am.

I grab hold of my watch tightly and shut my eyes focusing on exactly where I need to be.

The air around be thickens and I feel my stomach tighten as I am jumping back.

Darkness swallows me for a few seconds before I am welcomed by the gleaming lanterns in the street opposite to the alleyway.

I waste no time in striding to my destination.

It only takes me a few minutes to spot the place I need to be.

I take a few more steps and push the curtains open.

"Welcome back, Annabelle" the woman in the dimly room speaks up.

"It's great to be here again" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.

"What do you need?" She asks unfazed by my previous words.

"I want to understand, I want you to explain thoroughly what you said earlier today." I emphasize suddenly feeling shy as my eyes draw to the floor.

"Come." She says.

I look up, her hand  gesturing me to sit next to her on one of these pillows.

"Come here" her lips draw a little smile as she taps the pillow with her hand.

I nonchalantly move myself towards where she is and sit next to her.

I look up to see her staring at me with what seems to be ease in her eyes.

"I'm glad you found your way back, now l know I can trust you." She nods to herself.

"Yeah, I-" I start to say before she lifts up a finger silencing me.

"I talk, you listen." She orders and I nod.

"The universe is much more complicated than you think. Things don't just happen coincidentally, things are planned prior."

"Things like where people belong and who they belong with. Everything is planned carefully by people who are beyond us."

I stare at her dumbfounded but nod for her to continue.

"And you, Annabelle were not planned to be here. Something happened, you did something that changed the equation of how things are run."

"I don't know how and why. Maybe you were destined to be here and we just didn't know. But if not, please don't ruin it for other people."

I nod telling her silently that I would never hurt anyone.

"With what you created," she points to my watch.

"You can kill people and destroy their destined fate. You could say one wrong word that spirals and changes the course of everything."

"Just please, be careful." She says.

And it sounds more like a plead than anything.

Do I really want to be here and cause disturbance? She said I could kill people without even realizing.

"How? How am I going to kill people? I would never." I say shaking my head, I would never hurt anyone.

"Not quite in the sense that you're thinking about. Let me explain, if you happen to fall in love with someone or someone with you that will be like a glitch in the matrix. This person will try to change their path so it'll lead them to you instead of living the life that is destined to them, and if that happens people who exist in the future now, will never exist."

"That won't happen, I promise." I stare at her pleadingly.

"If you want to be here there has to be rules of what you can or can't do. Do you understand girl?" She questions me.

"Yes, I understand" I nod frantically.

"One, you are not to tell anyone about where you really come from. Two, you are not to engage in any romantic relationship with anyone here. Three, you will get appropriate clothes instead of this theatre costume that's on you. Five, never take anyone from here to jump with you, never."

I just stare at her but my mind is
somewhere else.

These shouldn't be so hard to follow, I would never fall in love here out of all the places in the world.

I nod to her and smile. Without a word I get up and leave.

Jumping is never going to be easy, and I am exhausted. Trying not to think about what I just learned, I leave the basement after the dizziness shakes off and head to my room.

I change my clothes and crawl into bed.

The moment my head touches the pillow I'm drowned in sleep.

Other than that, everything is great and i really hope you enjoyed this chapter.
