"Jewel? Are you okay?" Jewel slowly opened her eyes and Mack was standing over her followed by Lionel and Riley. The professor moved everyone out of the way, and did a quick check over.

"She's fine. Do you remember what happened?" Professor Fernley asked.

"No. I don't. I remember going into the woods to change, and then nothing." She said as she rubbed her head.

"I found your pajamas in the woods, but not you. I followed some footprints until I saw you walk into the asylum. Then I got the professor and we found you just inside the entrance, knocked out cold." Mack said.

"I did?"

"Yeah, and I found this." She handed Jewel her anklet back.

"Oh thank you! I'd forget my initials if it weren't for this." Jewel giggled.

"Yes." Mack bent down by Jewel.

"You're my Jewel Rhine Star." Mack whispered.

"And you're my Marilynn Josie Maculae." Jewel responded softly back.

"Rhinestone."

"Pussycat."

"I remember those nicknames."

"Yeah. Back when we were only 8. I called you Pussycat because of Josie and the pussycats and you called my Rhinestone because my middle name is Rhine, which actually Rhinestone was suppose to be my middle name, but they shortened it." They smiled then Mack helped Jewel up and the group got in a circle so the professor could read off the activities.

"Well originally we were suppose to visit some more rooms in the asylum today, but I changed it so now we'll just be exploring the outside and the shack for the next 3 days."

Everyone shrugged then everyone started walking outside. Jewel stopped for a minute and stared into the woods. She saw the hooded figure and she remembered what had happened, but she kept it to herself. Who or What was this thing? What did it want? She could only think to herself.

The group walked slowly around the outside of the asylum, observing little things, until Jewel tripped and got her foot caught in a bear trap. The group didn't notice her disappearance though.

"Help! Help! Mack! Professor! Somebody!" The whole world went silent as she struggled to get out. The hooded figure appeared in front of her again.

"What the hell do you want with me?" She screamed at it.

"They can't hear you." The raspy voice said.

"They've got to. I can see them right there!" She looked only to see that they were truly gone.

"Time's running out. Even with these activities outdoors… something bad is bound to happen." It said.

Jewel struggled more to get the bear trap off her foot. She screamed and she was so tired from crying, but she couldn't. She went to go wipe her eyes when she cut her eye with a sharp nail that came from nowhere. She looked at her hands. Sharp nails were growing and her hair was now longer. She was confused on what was going on. As she cried, blood mixed with her tears. She looked at the hooded figure with red streaks coming from her eyes and hate showed on her face.

"Fuck you! I don't know who the hell you are but help me! Please!"

"I can't. This is your life. Control it."

"Help me! I need help! Please…" She felt the bear trap become undone and when she looked up, the hooded figure was gone, but Mack was right in front of her, helping to clean the wound and get Jewel back on her feet. She looked at her hands to see that they were normal along with her hair length and there was no blood on her face or on her clothes.

"She's breathing again!" Mack said excitedly as she handed a water bottle to Jewel. Jewel took it and started to drink then once she put the cap on, she asked,

"What do you mean? I was dead?"

"I hate it say it, but yes. For 10 minutes, once you got caught, the queasiness and a little blood loss made you die. But thank god we have you back!" Mack hugged her and Jewel thought to herself, is the hooded figure Death?

Mack helped Jewel get up, despite her wounded foot, and then continued until they got to a garden. Jewel was fascinated by the different flowers in almost every color imaginable.

"It's beautiful." She said. Everyone in the group gave her a confused look.

"There's nothing here Jewel… it's all dead weeds." Mack responded. Jewel blinked only to see the beautiful garden disappear. The tulips, daffodils, roses, and carnations that Jewel saw were now just little stubs, the bright green bushes were now leaves on the ground and ashes of what was a partial trunk. She frowned then ran to catch up with the group.

They were outside the entrance when Jewel's head began to hurt. She stared around her. Is the hooded figure back? She wondered. She searched but saw nothing. That was until she no longer saw the group, but a gorgeous young man. He was tall with brown hair and bright blue eyes. He looked determined. Jewel wanted to walk to him, but knew something bad would happen.

"What's your name?" She asked softly. The man began to decay before her eyes when she heard him reply, "Martin Bay." Ashes blew and Jewel understood what had just happened. She came to reality. Mack gave her the weirdest look.

"What's this about Martin Bay?" She asked cautiously.

"I met him." Jewel said. Mack touched Jewel's shoulder and led her to the main base to sleep.

Jewel was trying to piece it all together. The hooded figure had to mean something. She was determined to figure it out. First, though, she decided to sleep. The second her head hit the pillow, she was out.
