Oh, and since this is the second part of my sequel of Walking Backward in Heels (the first was Reflections Take Two) you might wanna read those first if you haven't already.

The heels were killing me.

But… that wasn't what was bothering me.

That man, Bobby (or so he had called himself), supposedly knew everything about me. Or at least, everything my past life was made of. I bit my lip, slowing so I could think. All these thoughts were running through my head and I couldn't stop them. Glimpses of moments that made no sense had always plagued me, but… these glimpses were something so different than the past ones. These felt like I was actually getting something. Like all this time apart from who ever I had known was there… it was just an arm reach away, but… there was something in my way. I couldn't get to those people and the memories those people brought without some help from someone who knew them and me at the same time. Bobby was that help.

With that notion, I turned around and slowly started to walk back the way I had come. But suddenly, I didn't know where I was anymore. All the streets looked exactly the same and I could barely see any of the street signs with the moonless night surrounding me. I sighed, reaching into my bag for my cell. Jimmy didn't always have his cell on him, but I was hoping that this would be one of those times where he had brought it 'just in case'.

While I was dialing, I never noticed the approaching figure. He flung my pink cell phone from my hands and it sprawled onto the gravel, the ring tones echoing through the oddly deserted street I happened to be on.

The figure circled me slowly. I tried to keep up with the shadows his body was casting, but his body seemed to blend in with the surrounding dark buildings. Even the street light above me wasn't helping in the least bit. It only distorted the shadows and pulled the two dark shades together.

"What do you want?" I held my voice high. I was trying to act not the least bit frightened, but my breathing was fast and my heart was beating out of my chest. But hopefully, seeing that I am an actress, I seemed convincing. Out of the darkness came a hand that gripped my wrist. Along with the hand came a dark, dirty face. As dark as his teeth were and as dark as the night was, his beard was even darker.

"Pretty gals like you shouldn'a be out on'a night like this one." He smiled and looked my body over.

"I have money… I could give you money. I have money."

"Don't want no money, gal." My lower lip trembled as he began to caress my exposed neck with his callused hands. I tried to force my body away from his strong ones, but he held me close. My cell phone was only a few feet away, but I knew I could never get to it quick enough.

A fear inside of me began to grow. I shivered as he continued to caress my upper arms and neck. A familiar feeling came upon me and erupted inside of my body. Everywhere tingled and my arms became bitterly pained as he held them against his ragged clothes. Without moving, I braced myself for something I knew had to happen with this strange feeling within my body. And then,

BAM!

The homeless man that had been holding me was blasted to the brick wall we had been standing near. And all I could do was just hold my hands out in front of myself. I was just mystified and scared all at the same time. And although the man was blasted and unconscious, I couldn't move an inch. What had those things been? How could I produce something so beautiful and yet so hideously dangerous? The tears that hadn't had come before suddenly spread like a wild fire and I loudly began to sob. Slowly walking over to where my cell phone lay, I grasped it and held it against my chest; un-usable in it's new found condition. I started to walk, somewhat crookedly in my high-heels, forward in some direction.

I had done something… something I had never dreamt about in all the time I hadn't remembered, but something that seemed to familiar and vital in my life. But those bursts scared me. They just had come out of my hands and I didn't even know why they just came. Could I control them… or just hurt people without meaning to?

I folded my arms and hands inward, somehow believing that the bursts wouldn't come if I didn't let them. The world seemed like such a confusing place again. I couldn't tell which way was up and which way was down even when I was staring at the answer right in it's face.

When Jimmy and Bobby pulled along in a car beside me, I had made up my mind. And when Jimmy wrapped his jacket around my shivering body, I knew it was time to try and figure out who I was and most importantly what I was.

"Are you sure I'm not imposing?"

"Jub- Sapphire, are you kidding me? These people…your family," he added quickly, "will be ecstatic to see you!" Even though I gave him a look about the name, I still smiled at him.

We were on the way to the 'X' mansion. Or well, Bobby called it the 'X' mansion, but I was a little wary about calling it that. I mean… it like sounded like some a place where someone shot porno movies or something. "You sure Jimmy will survive without you?" I shot him a mean look when he interrupted my thoughts with complete nonsense.

"Hardy har har. You're so funny I'm laughing even inside."

But the truth was, I kind of wasn't laughing inside. Okay, who's kidding? I wasn't even smiling inside. The truth was, Jimmy and I had only gotten into worse and worse arguments each and every day as I prepared for my leave. It had only begun with him being pissed about me running away from the problem… 'my problem', as he had said.

The fact was I was pissed at him. If we were supposed to be in the relationship I thought we were, my problems would've been his too. The worst had been when we were packing. Supposedly the 'X' mansion had a lot of controversial information surrounding it.

I turned my head to the window as his words repeated in my head.

"They're freaks Saph! Listen to me, I know you want to know who you are… but you're not a freak. So don't look here… don't look at this psycho ward for a look into your past. You're here with me, right? Who needs the past!?"

"Don't you want me to know who I am? Don't you care about what I want?" I angrily stuffed another shirt into my third bag, not caring about the wrinkles I knew were already forming.

"Look at me! Sapphire… look!" He grabbed my wrists roughly, bringing my hands to his chest. He shook me once until I looked at him hard. "If you really go… it's over."

A look of disbelief flashed across my eyes. "Let go of me." The pressure of his hands only increased. "Damnit! Let the hell go of me!"

"Not until you listen. I love you Sapphire… more than anything in this world. Are you willing to throw that away for people you don't even know?"

"But they could know me. I could know them!" He sighed and slowly dropped my wrists away from his body. He stood before me for a moment before kissing me deeply. It only lasted for a second before the hotel door was slammed in my face.

"Sapphire, we're here. Don't worry about your bags."

He led me up a huge set of concrete steps that were encased by beautiful flowers. The grounds were immense, stretching far and wide past the mansion. Trees were placed along the outside of the house with colorful flowers below each one. As far as I could see, the place was more than huge and went beyond my expectations.

He flung the two oak doors open, pulling me along inside with him.

"Hey! Anyone home?"

My eyes widened, but quickly regained their size as I took in the huge foyer. The place was beautiful, and I was only standing in one of the rooms.

A red headed woman entered the room first. The thing that stood out the most, besides her flaming red hair, was… well, her breasts. I mean… plastic surgery? More like done twice over! These things were inconceivable. Even the extra padding they had used in the movie on me made mine look nothing like hers… not even close. I had the urge to say boobs, but well, I refrained my thoughts.

I smiled… willing a memory or something to come back as I looked at this woman. She was pretty, but her make up was overdone and her eyebrows were plucked to a basic null. Her dress fit tightly around her breasts and then flowed out around her legs stopping at her upper thighs. It was kind of… a weird picture. Maybe this really was the 'X' mansion… as in like major porno.

"J-Jubilee? Oh my God."

I threw a quick look at Bobby and shot through my teeth, "Why ish sshhe looking at me like shthat?" He ran a hand through his hair, stuttering and mumbling at the exact same time. I saw his eyes dart to Jean's and then he laughed nervously. And then I… well…I kind of exploded. "YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM?!" I didn't care that I was exploding in front of people that were supposed to be important. "HOW DARE YOU?!" I lunged forward and slapped him has hard as I could.

I stomped to the double doors, disregarding the people that were now gathering in the foyer. The man with the bags was approaching the door, but I shook my head and sent him back. And to think I had given up what I had with Jimmy for this faker.

"Jubilee!" He ran after me and gently grabbed my shoulder. "Come on… come bac-"

"IT'S GODDAMNED SAPPHIRE! Stop calling me Jubilee! I'm not her… I'm not some sick person who needs this stupid school to help me!"

"Please… just please meet them."

"They don't even know me, Bobby. You didn't even tell them my situation. I'm gonna go back in there and they're gonna think… they're gonna think that I'll know them! But I don't! That woman triggered nothing inside of me!"

"Don't say that. Do not say that Saph. You wouldn't have come with me if I didn't mean at least a little something to you. Something inside of you has to know me. You have to realize that!"

I wearily sighed and shook my head with defeat. He was right; I knew he had to be. "Bring my bags in, please," I said to the man with my large bags. "I'm giving you ten minutes to explain my situation, Bobster. And if you-"

"What did you call me? Saph! You just called me Bobster!"

"And if you get any happier I think you just might bust. Wait… you're not gonna burst, right?"

"You used to call me that."

"Okay, okay. Remember time over." Although my voice was harsh, I smiled at him. "Ten minutes, and if they don't understand why I'm here, I'm completely gone."

We approached the foyer cautiously, me slightly hiding behind Bobby's body as we shuffled into the hallway. Which was very hard in heels, by the way. More people filled the place now, whispering and staring as we approached. I guess I had been pretty loud. Bobby pushed me out slightly as he began his explanations of… well, of me.

"Guys, meet Sapphire… also known to you guys as, our little firecracker, Jubilee."
