We arrived at the dorm and I saw Tecna fixing my phone. Flora takes me into the bathroom and we do the usual routine. Then Flora says "The wounds on your back and arm are healing nicely." I say "Good. What about my hand?" Flora replied "It will take about a week to heal." I leave the bathroom and walk into Flora's room and sit on her bed. Flora walks in and sits next to me. She asks "What made you angry enough to break your phone earlier?"

I ask "Why...do you want to know?" Flora said "Please, tell me. At the dance, when the creature threw Alex, I could tell you were angry. Especially when your eyes had a red glow to them. I don't want to be around you if this is what you are like when you're angry. The way you broke your phone, it was destructive." I answer "My ex." Flora looked at me with a confused face before saying "I understand that it's an ex. But what did he do to make you angry?"

I answer "He..." Flora was quiet, waiting for me to answer her question. I continue "...molested me." I felt a tear after I said that. Flora got a shocked expression and I said "There was one night I let him stay over. We were in my room, alone. The only other person in the house was my mom, she was downstairs. I started dozing off and then I feel him...touching me. I told him to stop, but he ignored. I yelled as he started to take my pants off."

I stopped for a moment to hold back my tears. I continue "My mom slams the door open while pointing a gun at him. She threatened to shoot him if he didn't leave immediately. He quickly left and never came back." Flora said "I'm sorry. I didn't know." I yelled "He practically raped me!" as I feel multiple tears run down my face. Flora hugged me and said "I know anything I say can't change the past. But I will always be there for you."

I hugged her back. I said "On the phone, he told me to get back together with him. That's why I yelled. I thought he would have known not to call me after what he did." I saw something black move in front of me. I stop hugging Flora and look to see what it is. It's a creature. I got ready to attack, but then it said "Woah, easy there. I'm not here to fight." I was already in a bad mood. I yelled "Then what the fuck do you want?!"

It answered "No need to yell. The leader has a deal for you." I calmed down and ask "A deal?" The creature nodded. It said "The deal is: If you can fend off all attacks for the next 5 days, we will surrender." I thought about it, knowing that sometimes the creatures will either lie or cheat to win anything. But then I said "I accept these terms." The creature left after that and I kept staring at the spot he stood.

I take my focus off the floor when Flora hugged me from behind. She asks "Are you calm?" I quietly said "Yes." Flora let go of me and Tecna walked in. She walks over to us and says "Here you go. Your phone is fixed." while handing me my phone. I said "Thanks." and Tecna noticed I sounded kind of upset. Tecna asks "Should I have come by later?" Flora answers "No. It's fine. Ashley just needs come comforting right now."

Tecna hugs me and I feel better. Bloom opens the door and pokes her head in saying "There are some people here saying that they are from the Grimsborough Police Department. I don't know who they are. But you must know them Ashley because they are looking for you." I walk into the main area of the dorm and see Bloom talking to the people standing outside the dorm. I walk to the door and Bloom moves out of the way.

I see who it is and suddenly feel happy. I go up to them and hug them. I ask "Grace, Alex, Nathan, and Ramirez...how did all of you get here?" Alex answers "We located you by your phone. It was hard at first, but then we used your phone as GPS coordinates." Grace said "We had no idea where you were. You were not on any map or location that we know." Alex said "Then some kind of portal opened and it was really cool."

Nathan said "A person walked through it and said that there was some kind of interference with their technology. We told them we were trying to find you. Then they took us here and told us they would take us back when we were done." Ramirez said "So they are kind of standing at the end of the hall right now, waiting for us to be done so they can take us back." Grace said "We came here to give you this."

Grace hands me a heart locket. I immediately recognize it as I take the heart locket I was wearing and open it. I open the locket Grace gave me and look at the pictures in both of them. Grace said "We found it on Jones's body." Both lockets had a picture of me and Jones inside of each heart. I felt many emotions build up inside me. I manage to let out a "Thank you." without breaking down right in front of them.

All of them hug me before leaving. I close the door and close my locket. I turn around and see everybody looking at me. All of them saw a tear run down my face as I say "I need to be alone." while walking into the other room. I sit on the bed and hold Jones's locket to my chest. I say "I will avenge you Jones. I will make the leader of the creatures pay for what he did." My main emotion right now is sadness, followed by anger.

I suddenly feel powerful winds blowing from every direction. The winds blow at a certain spot in the room and I start to see someone. The winds start forming a cyclone around the person. I stand up and walk toward the cyclone. The winds stop blowing and I see Jones. I say "Jones!" before running up to him. But I stop as I notice he is transparent. He was wearing the same outfit he wore when he was working.

Jones asks "What are you waiting for?" while holding his arms out. I say "You're transparent. I can't touch you. I will go right through you." Jones said "Oh. I didn't think about that." I said "I know!" and used a spell that allowed me to touch him and vice versa. I walk toward him and hug him. He hugs me back and said "I missed you so much." I say "I missed you too." When we let go, I ask "Why are you here?"

Jones said "I came to tell you that I am your guardian angel. I am here to watch over you and protect you." I ask "Will you be able to see everything I do?" Jones answers "Not everything. I fade away into the air at times. I can see and hear everything you do as long as I am visible." I ask "Can you touch physical objects?" Jones walks over to a chair and picks it up. He sets it down and walks back over to me. I hold up his locket.

I ask "Do you want it back? I know you're dead, but at least you can hold and touch physical objects." Jones reached out and took the locket. He put it on and said "As long as I am with you, I will always have this." I ask "Can others see you?" Jones answers "Only if you allow them to see me. Other than that, only you can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste me. Even though the last two senses are useless since I'm dead."

Jones added "Others will also see me when I am protecting you. If someone tries to kill you, everyone will see me as I protect you." I tell Jones everything about the creatures and the deal. Jones asks "Will the leader actually surrender to you?" I answer "Probably not. I know that the creatures lie and cheat a lot. So he probably won't surrender after I defend myself from the attacks." Jones starts to fade away. He said "Well, I guess I have to go."

I said "Goodbye Jones." while we hug before he completely fades away. The heart locket faded away with him. My mind was focused on Jones. I hear a voice ask "Is everything okay?" I blink a few times before turning to the voice. I see Bloom and Flora. I respond "Y-Yeah, everything is fine." Flora had a look of concern. I told her "I'm fine." but she probably didn't believe it. Bloom said "We have to go to bed."

I get in the bed and Flora gets in after me. She told me "Good night." and kisses me on the forehead as usual. I return the kiss and tell Flora "Good night." before falling asleep.
