The rest of the day went by slowly. I spent time with a demon named Lisa, who tried to teach me how to control my outbursts.

"Chrystal, I do believe I should tell you of the other powers you've demonstrated in the past. If they were to happen again, I wouldn't want you to be confused or scared." She was watching me kindly, and patiently waited for a response. I simply nodded my head, intrigued as to what else I was able to do besides control wind.

"Before you were transformed, you could see into the future, teleport, and overpower other demons' mind control on yourself and other humans." She smiled warmly then. "You saved Sarah's and your own life with that last one."

I frowned.

"Yes, I know. You don't remember and they all sound a little out there, but I promise it is the truth. I would never lie to you, Chrystal. I've watched over you for a very long time. I would never do anything to hurt you."

I didn't respond to her sentiments. "I did all of that... as a human?" That sounded impossible.

"Yes, you did. You've always been a very gifted child, my dear." She turned then, as if looking for something on the walls, but the only things hanging were dull portraits of old castles and towns. "I hate to say it, but I should be going now. You have much to work on on your own. Do not forget what I told you."

I nodded, even though I had completely forgotten what she had told me because of our conversation just now. My mind was solely focused on trying to remember Lisa from before. The way she looked at me and said 'my dear' sounded pleasant and comforting, as if I'd heard it several times before. I wanted to know when.

After she left, I spent the rest of the evening and most of the night staring at my wrist, deep in thought. I also spent many hours staring at the photographs on the wall. One of them had Sarah and I in it, with three other people, one perhaps Jasmine, but I couldn't recognize the other two. There was a tall man with messy brown hair and a slightly overweight woman in an apron. Everyone looked so happy.

The other photo had what appeared to be me several years ago with a man and a woman. They both looked nothing like me, with their dark hair and suntanned skin. We were all smiling together, seemingly very happy. Who were they?

After I finally stopped staring, I thought about what Lisa had said. She'd known me for a very long time. Surely she knew who these people were.

But what seemed even more important than who the people in the photos were was what she had told me about my powers. I'd been able to see the future? Teleport? Save people? None of it sounded real. But if it was...

I closed my eyes. I wanted to try these powers for myself. If they were real, maybe I could do something about my current situation.

I thought hard, willing the air for a vision. I needed to see something, anything. Please, just give me something.

And as soon as I begged, I felt my body collapse against the bed as images began to form in front of me.

It was dark. I couldn't see anything. I was no longer in my bedroom. I somehow knew I was far away from it, on the opposite end of this large building I was being confined to.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light, and I could see my surroundings, though in the vision they were blurry. I could only see what was in front of me. There was a girl my age, staring at me wide eyed.

"Chrystal?" she asked cautiously. "Are you...?"

"Jasmine!" I exclaimed. I'd finally found her. "Jasmine, I remember. I'm so sorry about what happened, but I remember you now. You're my-"

Suddenly, there was a sharp stabbing pain in my skull. I was pulled from my vision as I cried out. I clutched my head, waiting for the pain to subside. When it finally did several moments later, I sat up and stared at my hands.

I had yet to feel any kind of physical pain since I had awoken in this world. Why did it happen then? Why did it pull me from my vision? What was my brain trying to hide from me?

I shook it off. It was nothing. It had to be nothing. I couldn't let myself dwell on it. I'd be lost in thought for hours again. I had to keep going. Clearly, I could see visions. Whether or not they were of the future was yet to be proven. Next on the list, teleporting.

I wasn't sure exactly how to test this one. How did one move from one place to another instantaneously? I didn't remember any physical places. I could try looking at the portraits on the walls, but they were most likely fictitious worlds. Maybe instead of a place, I thought, I could think of a person?

I closed my eyes once again, this time trying to decide who I wanted to see. But my heart already knew the answer.

Sebastian.

There was a slight breeze through my hair. I pictured the man I loved in my mind. His hair, his eyes, his smile. It was like traveling through time. I could see him. He was cleaning, carrying me, tending my wounds, staring at me with worry, kissing me-

Again, the same sharp pain pulled me back to reality. Once again I held my head and waited for the pain to subside. It seemed to take longer this time, but it eventually did leave.

I looked at my surroundings. I was still in my bedroom, but this time I was sitting in front of the door.

Did I teleport? I asked myself, confused. Or did I just stand up and walk over here while I was concentrated?

I didn't know. I glanced back down at the mark on my wrist. "If you are ever in need of anything, whether you be in danger or you are simply lonely, call my name. I will come."

My eyes filled with tears. "Sebastian."
