We walked to school in silence, Elliot looking slightly lethargic. Will was with us, too. Although we would be in a special program, because our boarding school was much more intense, and we learned a lot more, we would still be attending the same school.

We were the last ones there. I guess in a group of overachievers, you can expect them to get there early. I counted to make sure there were sixteen of us. There was.

"Hey." Elliot said plainly to a boy at a desk casually, as though he had known him for years.

He responded by not responding. "Mind if we sit here?" Elliot asked, as if he had been just as friendly to us. The boy just stared at us, it almost looked like a glare. "Cool."

He stared at Elliot for a second longer, and Elliot took a seat two down from him, leaving me the seat in-between. It was something so simple, but it was sort of unlike him not to be all buddy-buddy with someone that he had already been so friendly to. And he was kind of a jerk, too. I found myself disliking him.

"Okay class," The teacher started. "welcome, hope your summer was good. Just a note, these seats will be permanent. Okay, let's hurry up and take role so we can get started." She said snappily. I could tell she was going to be one of those teachers that didn't waste anytime. "Elena?"

"Here." I noticed the boy was staring at me.

"Josh?"

"Here." Why was he staring at me?

"Karen?"

"Here." I tried to ignore it.

"John?"

"Here."

"Damon?"

"Here."

"Henry?"

"Here." What's his deal? Why is he still staring at me?

"Rielly?" I expected a girl to chime up, but no one responded. "Rielly? Rielly?"

"Here." The kid next to me said in a low muffled tone. He was so busy staring he missed his name. Great; just ten minutes in I had a stalker.

"Pay attention!" She scolded. "Amanda?"

"Here!"

"Sam?"

"Here." That's it. I'm just going to stare back at him.

"Elliot?"

"Here." Oh god, he was from my vision! I could remember a boy standing behind me and Elliot… could that be Rielly? Why had he been grinning?

"Alexa!" It was obvious the teacher had been yelling my name, I had been to lost in thought to realize it.

"Oh! Umm… here." I said, embarrassed. Elliot turned and grinned at me mockingly and shook his head. I elbowed him in response. But that didn't get my mind off Rielly. I turned and peeked at him once more, and he was grinning his grin, confirming my suspicion. I couldn't tell if he was grinning at me because I had also not heard my name, or if there was something else. I stared at him questionably, and he looked like he suspected it. Weirdo.

We finished role and got started. You would think that you wouldn't do much on the first day of school, but you would be wrong. We started units in every subject and got homework.

I ignored Rielly for the rest of the day, and he ignored me back, which was fine by me. Preferred even. I told Elliot about it on the way home.

"I really don't like Rielly."

"Well you really don't like people."

"That's true… but really."

"Why?"

"Well, I had this ummm… v-word about us." I admit

"What? When? How did I miss that?"

"It was a while ago, it didn't occur to me that it would have any significance later."

"What was it?"

I explained it to him and he listened hard, showing that he thought it was very important. He was such a drama queen sometimes.

"That's weird."

"Yeah, I know. Why do you think he would be grinning?"

"I dunno, maybe he was excited about you being able to see the future?"

"Elliot it was not an excited grin, it was more… more…"

"What, evil?" He scoffed.

"Well… yeah."

"That's ridiculous."

"Well have I been wrong before?"

"No, but I've never really seen you be right before, either."

"Hey! That's not true!"

"Suuuuure, it's not." He said sarcastically.

"What about the whole adoption papers thing?" I said defensively.

"Well that wasn't necessarily the future…"

"Well I saw Bella hug me at Rikki's."

"Well even I could have predicted that."

"Are you questioning my mad skills?" We walked in silence for a little till Elliot spoke up again.

"I got you a present." He said quietly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Well, I guess it's more of a repayment."

"Let me guess."

"IPod." We said simultaneously. He dug through his bag and pulled out the little white box.

"You shouldn't have."

"Well…"

"No, I mean you shouldn't have broken it to begin with…""

"Hey!"

"I'm just playing with you. Thanks."

"Your welcome." He placed it in my hand. I noticed it was blue, which made me laugh.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing… it's just… blue."

"What's wrong with blue?"

"Nothing, it's just the color of…"

"Water. Yeah, I know. Do you not like it?"

"No, I love it. Thanks."

He continued to stare at me. Forever. I'm serious, there is something wrong with that boy. Elliot of course just thinks I'm crazy. But I keep seeing that vision, and I don't know why I keep seeing it. That malevolent smug grin of his seemed to be haunting me every where I went.

But I had other problems to deal with, and I couldn't waste time dwelling on that. Like how next week is the full moon. Of course I have to go to the girls' pathetic little slumber party again, but at least this time I'll have my IPod. But things are akward between me and Bella right now, I wonder if her parents know about me. Scratch that, I really don't want to know.

This sleepover was frighteningly similar to the last.

"Lex, what have you been seeing in your… visions-" I couldn't even hear the end of the sentence, I had already been pulled out of reality.

Of course I saw Rielly again, the more I saw him the more I disliked him. Just when I thought the repeat was about to end when he uttered four perfectly simple words.

"So now you know." He said it in his grim voice, but his voice was raised in a smugly confident way I had never heard him talk before. Know what? I phased out of the vision.

"Lex?" Bella said, worried.

"Are you okay?" Cleo chimed in.

"What did you see?" Rikki asked.

"Nothing, just… nothing."

"Uh-huh. Sure." Rikki responded sarcastically.

"It's just about some boy at school."

"Oooh!" Cleo cooed.

"A special boy?" Bella hinted.

"No! A… weirdo boy." I defended myself.

"Really?"

"Um, yeah?"

"Was that a question?" Rikki asked.

"Never respond to a question with a question." Bella lectured playfully.

"Didn't Rikki just…? Never mind. His name is Rielly and he's a creeper. End of story."

"It doesn't sound like the end of the story if you just saw something about him." Rikki teased.

"Seriously, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Oh, come on what did you see?"

How was I supposed explain what I saw about him? I mean, they have no reason to care about it. It's really nothing.

"Really, nothing. Just him asking a homework question."

"Yeah, uh-huh, cool, sure." I put on my headphones and got ready for a long night.

BELLA'S P.O.V.

"I worry about her." Cleo said, looking at Lex, who was sleeping with her headphones on.

"Me, too." I say, the concern audible in my voice. "I don't kno what to do about her. How am I supposed to tell my parents that their daughter is alive? Her death changed them, hurt them. And I think this might hurt them even more, finding out she's been alive all these years, and that they just… left her on her own."

"I understand, but I don't think that it's fair to keep it from them." Cleo responded.

"You're going to have to tell them sooner or later." Rikki added.

"Well what am I supposed to tell them? Do I just come right out and say it? I just can't!"

"Your going to have to, you know." Cleo said. I sighed, I knew she was right. "Hey, I'm going to go get my stuff. It's downstairs still- I forgot to bring it up."

"Oh, me too." Rikki said. "Will you be fine up here alone?" I nod. "Okay, be up soon."

They left. I should have gone with them. Then, a sudden gust of wind came from the window, opening the curtains. It revealed a plump glowing moon.

My eyes were fixated on it. No! I scolded myself mentally. Don't look!

I turned away hastily, but found my eyes lost in the moon's reflection in a water bottle peaking out of Lex's bag. I let myself fall under.

CLEO'S P.O.V.

"Oh, what are we going to do?" I asked Rikki. "You know she wont tell them by herself."

"I know, but she's going to have to."

"Should we come along and help her?"

"No, I think that would just make it worse. We can't be there for everything." Then the door opened.

"Oh, hi girls!" Bella's mom said, as her usual chipper self. "Our party was canceled, so I guess we'll just have to stay here, tonight!"

Crap. As much as I liked Bella's parents, I didn't want them in the house. Things got crazy during full moons. I do admire Bella's mom for putting on a happy face after all that had happened. Bella's dad still looked… I don't know how to describe it, but it was like his face was permanently serious, but then you look into his eyes and see a softness.

My thoughts we're interrupted when Bella came down the stairs.

"Hi, sweetie! Our party was canceled, so we're staying home tonight." I looked at Bella. She looked sort of checked out. I watched her open her mouth to talk, unaware of what she was about to say.

"Remember my little sister?" She said simply. I watched her mom's eyes widen. "Yeah, the dead one."

"Bella!" Her dad said in a low sharp voice. "You know better then-"

"Better then to ask about her?" She interrupted. "Because I'm not asking. I'm telling. That girl upstairs? She's your dead daughter."

"Bella!" Her dad's voice boomed. "Stop this right now! Your making things worse!"

"Well I'm only telling the truth, I just thought you should know."

"Bella…" I could see tears well in her mom's eyes. "Please don't…"

"It's the truth! Tell them, guys!" Someone saw the moon.

"It's true," Rikki spoke up. "there's proof. She has a birth certificate and everything, it has your names on it."

"No… she's… d-d-d-" Bella's mom was crying now.

"Dead?" Bella filled in. "No, she's not." Something changed in her mom's face.

"Bella stop this now! This is cruel!"

"Fine." She said simply. She walked over to the door and walked out.

"Young lady you get back here this instant!" Her dad yelled. We ran after her and followed her out.

"Great, that went really well." Rikki sighed.

"Someone got a glimpse of the moon." I said. "Bella, you need to go talk to your parents. Apologize."

"Nah." She waved me off. "Let's go to the Moon Pool!" She said, excited.

I saw her parents follow us out. This was just swell. They're going to think she's crazy.

"Bella, we can't! Now act normal in front of your parents if you don't want our secret to get out!" Her parents had caught up with us.

"Bella! You are coming home right now! Then, you are apologizing to your mother!"

"Hmmm…. Nah, that doesn't sound like fun. I just want to have fun! We're going to Will's house! He's fun!"

"No we're-" I tried to say.

"Yes, we are. We're going to go get the papers to show you proof. So you can just go home." Rikki said. God she is such a good liar. I should remember that.

LEX'S P.O.V.

I woke up panting, half expecting Elliot to be next to me. I fell asleep. Crap, again. What had I dreamed? It all came rushing back to me. I had dreamed of Bella telling her parents about me… but she was being rude, and really insensitive. Her mom was crying and her dad was crying. Well, I guess our mom and dad. I still can't get over that. But then everyone went to Will's house, but nothing happened there. Then her parents went home and she went to Mako. Something happened there… something bad.

I looked around and made myself aware of where I was. Bella's room. But where was everyone? My eyes wandered to the curtain, I couldn't see out of it, but I could tell it had been open.

I went downstairs hoping to find them, but when I got to the door I saw Bella's parent's walk through the door.

"Is it true?" Bella's mom said.

"What?"

"What she said. Is it true?" What she said? She didn't say anything… oh god. It happened. That was how she told her parents. Why would she have done that? Oh god the curtain! She saw the moon!

"I have to go." I said avoiding eye contact. I ran out the door and to the beach. I jumped in. I knew I would be faster on fins, even though I would have rather used my legs- it's so weird to have one leg… fin… thing- but I knew what I had to do.

I was faster then them. Swimming wise, at least. I saw them swim in my… recollection of what happened two full moons ago. And I knew I was way faster. Probably because I had done a lot of swimming before, and I was already fast.

I tried to remember what I had seen, what commotion had gone on. It felt impossible, like that entire dream was just a dream. I got to the moon pool- I could remember enough to know what happened had happened there- but it was empty. Was I too late? Or too early. I waited to find out.

I thought really hard about it, but I couldn't recall anything. I wished someone- anyone –was here. I could prompt them to say the v-word, and I could have a vision about it.

But there was no one. No one. And why should there be? I mean it's a hidden cave with a magical pool, you don't find it unless you're meant to find it.

Was I meant to find it? No, that's not important right now. Right now what matters is finding out what's happened or what's going to happen. I knew what I had to do. I was going to have to make myself have a vision. I didn't know how yet, but I've controlled them before, in other ways, but still.

"Vision." I whispered to myself. Nothing. "Vision." Gradually I got louder. "Vision!" To a point where I was screaming. "VISION!"

I gave up. Nothing is going to happen, absolutely nothing. I sighed, showing my defeat. Then it hit me.

I saw the girls and myself in the moon pool, I, of course, was the only one with legs. Bella looked to be unconscious, her eyes closed, just floating. I could see everyone talking, I couldn't quite hear it, but I saw it, and occasionally someone shaked her, willing her to wake.

But then something surprised me. Something changed, I couldn't tell what. Not that I needed to, because a second later Bella was turning to water, and then human, and then water, just back and forth.

I flashed out, wondering what I had just seen. But I didn't get to think, because Cleo and Rikki swam in, both pulling Bella along.

"Lex how did you-" Cleo started.

"No time." I interrupted. "Get her out of the water."

"What? Why?" Cleo asked, genuinely confused.

"Just get her out of the water!"

"Lex, the moon pool always helps." Rikki tried to reason.

"I see the friken future, are you really not going to trust me?"

"You just don't-"

"You don't know what's going to happen if you don't get her OUT OF THE WATER!" I've never heard my voice so loud. I was trembling with desperation. Finally they obeyed, and we lifted her out of the water. I backed up to the wall of the cave, layed my head back, and sighed with relief.

"Lex… what was going to happen?" Cleo asked, sounding so innocent and scared.

I cought my breath, which I hadn't realized I had lost. "She… was going… to… turn to… water." I panted.

"Again?" Rikki said.

"Again? I asked horrified.

"It happened before, we pulled her out of the water just in time, but a couple more second in, she could have been sea water." Cleo explained. I sighed, relieved.

"I'm just glad she's safe."

"I really said that?" Bella was appalled that she had said what she said about me to her parents. "And you saw it all?" I nodded sadly.

We had relocated in Cleo's room; Bella had just come out of the phase of the moon, no pun intended. Bella was horrified to face her parents again. I could understand why. In fact, if it wasn't for me, she probably would be right now. I begged the girls to not take me back to her house. There was no way I could deal with her parents, either.

I wonder if they believed her- if they had showed her the paperwork at Will's house. I bet she sounded pretty crazy. Well, actually I KNOW she sounded pretty crazy. I have to remind myself that I practically witnessed all of it. I guess I saw it all before it happened. I'm just glad I did see it in time, and got there in time. What if this time she really had turned to water? She was my only sister. My only blood sibling, I barely know her, but still.

But there was no time to dwell on that. I had other places to be. Like at home, catching up on homework. Always the way I wanted to use my time.

Sorry I took forever. I think the fact that it's 3,000 words makes up for it. ;)
