Sofie woke up in her bed, breathing the familiar and musty scent of her quilt and snuggled up with Ella, the stuffed elephant whom she had slept with ever since she fell and hit her head when she was five. Ever since all of the trouble began. Her sister Amy was sitting at Sofie's desk, reading Sofie's diary. "Hey!" she exclamed indignantly. "That's mine!" "So. You lived." was the only reply. Sofie was getting frustrated with these bland replies.
"There was a boy asking about you" Amy said. "Do you know a Mr. Vacker or a Mr. Sencen?" "Yes and no." Sofie replied. Who's Mr. Sencen? she thought. "They came and asked to see you. Every day all week." Amy said, as if reading her mind. But that wasn't possible. Amy wasn't anything like her, didn't have her secret. She would have known. Then she felt a warm, tingling sensation, and she drifted off once again.
She woke up staring at the same eyes that she had seen at the museum. Fitz Vacker was in her house. Or so she thought. "What are you doing here?" she demanded. "What?" he replied. "Can't I visit my friend in the hospital?" "The hospital?" she asked. Everything was confusing when you were unconcious for who knows how long.
"You're in the hospital. Our hospital. You're parents thought you were... gone, so we took you to our world. Welcome to the hospital unit. This is Elwin. He is the doctor here."
Sofie gave him a questioning look, still half asleep and on the verge of nausia. "You're looking green." said Fitz. "You should get some more rest. Elwin, please get the sedatives." And with that, she drifted back to sleep.
She woke up in the same hospital, but looking at a new face. This boy also had blue eyes, and blond hair. "So." he said. "The misterious Miss Foster comes home at last. Grady and Edaline will check you out of here when you're ready." Seeing that he knew her name, she guessed he was Mr. Sencen.
She had so many questions on her mind. "Who are youe? Where am I. Who are Grady and Edaline? And why does this seem so familiar?"
