8: Things you can't see
"Do you know any of those people over there?" The little girl nodded again. "What's your name sweetie? I'm Helena."
"Susie, you're wearing my dollies dress." Helena looked at the doll and saw that it was clearly an Alice in Wonderland doll. 'Oh the irony' Helena thought.
"Alright, we're going to take her back to the Castle. We'll have our doctors' look at her there." Helena heard Jason tell Thomas. Helena knelt back down to Susie. "Hey Susie, is that your big brother over there?"
"Uh-huh. Tommy."
"Alright sweetie. Hey, I'm going to visit you later, okay? Would you like that? Maybe next time we can play with your dollies some more."
"Oh yes, please!"
"Ok, I'll see you later then." Helena went over to her body and looked over it. "I look like I'm sleeping." She said to herself. She watched as they carried her body back to the castle, she stood beside Thomas as he watched. "Can you see me, Thomas?"
"He can't see you!" Susie yelled from the trees. Both Helena and Thomas looked over their shoulder to look at her. "Cute kid sister you got there. I can see why you mistook me for her."
Helena followed her body back to the Castle. She watched as they put her back in the room she was in before. "Has your sister done anything like this before?" Robert asked Cassie. "No. usually she's very alert and awake."
Back in the Field: "If she only knew." Thomas whispered to himself. He turned and started walking over to the forest. "Hey Susie! Race you back home!" Susie's head perked up and she put her 'Alice' doll safely in her messenger bag and started running as hard as she could. Thomas ran beside her, letting her win of course. "Come on Tommy! Stop letting me win!" Thomas ran a little faster but only enough to be fair. "Thomas! Susie! Dinner!" Their mother yelled from the kitchen door. This encouraged Susie to run faster. She stopped in front of her mother panting, "Yes, ma'am?"
"Susie lets wait for your brother," Thomas was a little late when he stopped; he bumped into his mother, who wore an apron and bandana to keep her thick long hair out of her eyes. "Ma'am?"
"It's time for dinner, I want the two of you to wash up and then come in for dinner."
"Yes, ma'am." The two said together. "What were the two of you doing in the fields all day anyway?"
"Nothing." Thomas answered. Susie knew what this was, he was lying, normally she would tell her mother but then, if she did Susie wouldn't be able to play with Helena. So she remained quiet. "Alright, hurry up you two; you know how your father gets when dinner gets cold."
The two ran up to the creek and started washing their hands "Susie, why didn't you rat me out?" Susie told her first lie, it came naturally to her. "I didn'twant you to get in trouble."
Helena looked over her body while the doctors that Jason had mentioned looked her over. "There are no obvious signs of anything wrong. She seems to be in a state of unconsciousness."
"Ha! Please I could have told you that! Look at me! I'm freaking Briar Rose!" Helena shouted in the Doctors ears.
"Alright thank you doctor. Is there anything we could do incase she doesn't wake up?"
"Well, I say, only if she doesn't wake up, put her in that Ice Chamber you have down there. Or just hope that she does wake up."
"Oh this guys a real Einstein!" Helena stormed out of the room where he body laid.She wondered around the castle, into places she wouldn't be allowed normally. She went into everyone's closets, in search of some clothes so she could get out of the dress she had been wearing. Oddly enough she found some clothes that fit her perfectly from Robert's room, and that wasn't the only thing that she found. She saw Cassie and Robert in bed together. "Agh! Get a Room! Oh wait nevermind."
It was getting late and Helena lay down next to her body, hoping that somehow she would wake up. But when Helena woke up the next morning she was still invisible. The clothes that she had stolen were a pair of ordinary pants, a shirt that was probably 2 sizes to big and a jacket that was really warm. Helena looked at the Grandfather clock that stood in front of the bed, it was nearly noon. Helena found that she wasn't hungry so she went to Thomas's house.
