Hi, I'm Katherine Walters. I'm 17 years old and love to read and draw. Music was also something I loved. I always had horrid grades, barely making it out of high school. I was working for a restaurant until I could get enough money to buy a house.

I was sitting down, reading a book I had borrowed from the nearby library. I squinted my eyes as I saw a bright flash coming from outside. I decided to check it out. I opened my door, and found that the flash had come from my sister, Jessie's room, but as soon as I located it, it had disappeared. Probably nothing, Kat. No need to be so over-protective of your sister.

I walked back into my room, shutting the door, and got into my bed, picking up my book. Wondering what time it was, I looked over at my clock. 6:36. Mom would have dinner ready anytime now. Of course, I wasn't bad on my prediction as I set the book down for the second time.

I got up from my bed, hearing as my mom called me and my siblings out for dinner. I guess I am hungry.. I dusted myself off and walked towards the door, opening it quietly. I then walked down the stairs towards the kitchen, taking in the scent of meatloaf and potatoes. I really liked potatoes. My mom, Lilly, looked at me, then to my plate, which she had so kindly dished for me. I jumped in surprise as my younger brother Zack, who was only twelve, zoomed past me, grabbed his food, and ran back to his room, slamming the door shut.

"Thanks, Mom," I said, grabbing my plate and a fork. I sat down at the table, and began to eat it. What's taking Jessie so long? I wondered, before a thought made me growl under my breath. She's probably busy watching Red vs. Blue. Ugh! I told her that show was too mature for for her!

It didn't take me long to finish eating, so I got up, rinsed out the plate, and put it in the dishwasher. As I started walking away, Mom called me.

"So, how was work?"

"Fine, I guess. Pretty much the same as always, maybe a few more customers than usual," I replied, adding a little more in my answer than I usually did.

"Good," Mom said, before yelling, "JESSIE! YOUR DINNER IS GETTING COLD! WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG?!" I winced a little at the volume, then let out a little chuckle at my mom's reaction to Jess being late. I decided to go check up on her, and began up the stairs. As I reached the top, I found Jessie's room as the second to last one in the hall. I walked over to it, and gave a polite knock.

No answer.

I knocked again, a little harder this time.

Still nothing.

I knocked again, even harder, with an added, "Jessie! It's Kat. Your dinner's getting cold!"

Not even a peep.

I sighed and opened up the door, a little surprised to see nothing inside. The computer was off and Jessie's phone was lying on her bed. Weird. Maybe she went to the bathroom? I was about to turn away and check when suddenly a blinding flash stopped me in my tracks. I squinted my eyes for a while, until the light ceased, revealing a rather rattled Jessie.

"No, wait! Felix! You can't send me back! I.. I love...," She stopped in her tracks, suddenly realizing where she was. "... You." Jessie?! How did you- What happened? You look slightly different.. More.. Muscular? I was baffled. What had happened to my sister?

"Jessie?" I asked, surprise very evident on my face,

"K-Katherine? Kat? I.. I haven't seen you since.." She couldn't finish her sentence before she wrapped me in a tight hug.

"What happened? I decided to check on you because you didn't come out for dinner, but now I-" She cut me off.

"Wait. I've only been gone that long?" She asked, and she seemed very surprised now.

"Yah, why?" I wanted to know what happened. It seemed like it was much longer for her.

"I.. Its been longer for me.." She started, looking to the ground now.

"Jessie." I started, "What happened?"

She seemed to pause, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you..." She seemed distant, as if her mind was on something else. She shook her head, "C-can I have a moment to myself?" She asked me. I nodded.

"Of course," and I left the room shutting the door behind me. I could hear distant muttering, something along the lines of "Felix" and "Wash" with a hint of "Goodbyes". I shook my head, wondering exactly what had happened. I sighed, knowing she probably wouldn't answer me . I'd have to figure it out myself.

If only I had known just how involved I would become because of curiosity.
