This might be a little hard for me to work with characters that all ready exist (if you know what I mean.) And also I wanted to say that I haven't read these books in quite some time now, (my mom is reading them,) so if I get any information wrong please tell me. And also, this story just came to me at midnight and I didn't want to forget it, therefore I'm typing it up now. Thus excuse me if anything is a little weird, I'm sort of tired.
Disclaimer: I don't own Suze, Jesse, or any one else from the mediator series. Meg Cabot does.

Suze's POV:
I was walking around the Carmel mall with my friends Cee Cee and an unenthusiastic Adam. Though, I think we might have pushed Adam a little too far when Cee Cee and I dragged him into Victoria's Secrets, but it was so fun to watch his cheeks redden when we asked him which undies and bras he liked the best. Needles to say that he was out of there pretty fast, fallowed by Cee Cee and me laughing like idiots. We were headed to the food court when Cee Cee pointed out a new store.
"Rising Moon Psychics, they actually let a place open up like that in the mall?"
"Look, we can go get our palms read. Sounds like fun, don't you think Suze."
I gave a little laugh then said "No thank you, I have had enough of all the paranormal stuff in my life," not that it will ever go away "now lets go eat. I'm starved."
"I second that" Cee Cee said
"You guys are no fun" Adam complained
"Tough luck, come on." Unfortunately, the forces of nature didn't want to agree with me today. As we were walking by the store, a lady in her late fifties wearing a long purple dress with black stars on it walked out and stopped directly in front of me.
"you" she said talking to me "you are the one who's true love died long, long ago, are you not?" I didn't know what to say. When I didn't answer the lady took my silence as a yes. "Then come with me, I have something that I must give to you." The lady turned and headed back into the store.
When Cee Cee saw the look on my face she couldn't believe it. "You're not really going to go, are you?"
"go to the food court, I'll meet you there in five minuets" I said and then fallowed the woman into the store, ignoring Adam and Cee Cee as they called out my name. My friend, Gina, and I had talked to a psychic at a school fair back in New York. She was the one who had told me that I would only have one love that would last eternity and that I am a mediator, so I know that she was not a fake. For some reason I was getting the same vibe off of this lady. Something was telling me to trust her. Maybe it was just that what she seemed to be talking exactly about Jesse, but I couldn't help it, I wanted to hear what she had to say.
When I walked into the store, the lady motioned me into the balk room where there was a table and two chairs.
"My name is Rowan. This is where I do palm readings and the sort, but that is beside the point. May I ask your name?" Rowan saw me hesitate "you don't have to tell me of course."
"It's Susannah, but please, call me Suze."
"Ok Suze lets get straight to the point. You are a mediator, are you not?" Rowan asked
"If that is what you want to call it, yes." I said thinking how the proper term for me would now be 'shifter,' since Paul had been giving me, much unwanted lessons for the past month.
"And you have fallen in love with one of the dead?" Rowan asked, though I assumed she already new the answer.
"Do I dare ask how you know this, because I swear, if this is some sort of prank, I'll-"
"No, no, no. This is not a prank, I promise." When Rowan saw that I was satisfied she continued. "Twenty-six years ago my mother gave me this necklace." She said as she pulled out a little blue velvet jewelry box. "She told me that it has a special power, but it can only be used when needed most. She said that I would know what to do with it and when." She pulled the necklace out of the box and handed it to me. The pendant had a sapphire imbedded in the middle of it and all around it were strange markings.
"It's beautiful." I said
"Yes it is. Last night I had a dream," she continued, and I was anxious to hear more about this necklace. "In my dream I saw a girl with a boy, but the boy had a funny glow around him and he was dressed as if he was alive a hundred years ago. I knew immediately that he was a ghost. I saw the couple hug, talk, laugh, and kiss. They were in love. When woke up I noticed that the necklace was glowing and I knew that it was time. I saw you threw the store glass window and recognized you as the girl form my dream."
"The guy's name is Jesse. He was killed in my room in the 1800's." I said, a little shocked to be honest.
"Do you love him?" Rowan asked me
"More than anything." I said, figuring that it was no good lying to her.
"Suze, this is extremely important. I am going to give you a once in the life time opportunity."
"What is that?" I asked
"This necklace has the ability to travel back in time. If you decide to, than you put the necklace on and think of Jesse. It will take you back to the time it feels necessary to save him. Then once it feels that you are no longer needed, it will take you back to your own time."
"How do you expect me to believe that this will work?" I'm sorry, but this sounded way to out there for me if you know what I'm saying.
"There is nothing that I can do to make you believe me. I am going to give you the necklace, so you can try it when you feel ready and if it doesn't work, you still have the necklace that you can keep. You have nothing to loose. I promise you that only good can result from the necklace." Rowan told me
A strange thought occurred to me, "if this necklace has is so great, then why are you giving it to me?"
"Because the necklace is calling for you, one day will pass it on to someone else." Rowan replied, and all the sudden I sensed that she was keeping something else from me.
"You have used the necklace, haven't you?"
She ignored the question. "Well Suze, you must be going now. You're five minutes late to meet your friends." I started to leave and then Rowan remembered something. "Oh and Suze…make sure you are absolutely sure about your final decision, and that you are prepared that you are ready for the events that may fallow. And remember that only good will result with the necklace."

It is now 3:00 in the morning and I'm pooped. That took me a little longer than I expected it to. So what do you think. Will Suze go back and save Jesse? Well if you review this chapter, I might just write more. So please review and be as cruel (or nice) as you want.
