Ella's POV

"He killed my sister."

I froze. Silence followed, the only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall.

"You don't have another sister" I said slowly.

"I did. A twin sister to be exact" he said softly.

"Where's my wallet?" he asked.

I grabbed his wallet and passed it to him and he opened it and pulled out a picture and handed it to me.

It was a picture of a backyard where a girl that looked about 13 was sitting on a swing. Her hair was dirty blonde, almost brown. She had bright blue eyes and a kind, loving face. Her mouth was open for she was laughing, her legs out and was halfway in the air from being pushed on the swing.

Behind her was a 13 year old Iggy. His hair was shorter and a slightly lighter blond. He looked pretty much the same but not so thin and pale, he was standing up straight, not hunched away. But the biggest difference was the laughing smile on his face, it was real. Then I looked closer and saw how bright his eyes were, he wasn't blind then.

"Oh my" I whispered, feeling my heart sink with sadness for him, my eyes stinging with unshed tears.

"Her name was Lizzy" he said putting the photo away.

"What happened?" I asked.

He was silent for a minute then as he opened his mouth to say something. Just then Max and Fang walked back in.

"The café was closed so we brought back some sandwiches, we got you your usual with…..Iggy?" Max asked, finally spotting him sitting up.

"Hey" he said lamely.

"Ig" Fang said and gave him a small hug, being careful not to hurt him.

"Who did this to you?" Fang asked and Iggy bit his lip.

"I can't really remember, I don't think I recognized them" he lied but I didn't say anything.

"Ok then. If you do remember don't forget to tell us so we can beat the life out of them" Max growled and he even smiled.

"I'll go get the doctor" Max said and walked out.

She came back in with Dr. Rodriguez.

"Hello Iggy, nice to see your awake."

"Hey Doc" Iggy said.

"So let's take a look" he said coming over and inspecting Iggy.

He poked and prodded and Iggy winced.

"You seem to be fine. Just bruises and a few broken bones, but no serious damage" he said and we nodded.

"So your just need some rest and if your family and friends promise to take good care of you we can let you out tomorrow" he said looking at us.

"We promise" Max and Fang said.

"No guaranties" I said and Max punched me in the arm.

"Ok, ok I promise" I said and the doctor smiled.

"Ok then. So Iggy should probably get his rest" The doctor said and left.

"Ok Ig, we'll come and get you tomorrow after school" Max said sympathetically, she was such a softy.

"I'll come in before school for a quick visit" Fang said getting up.

"Bye Iggy" I said getting up and we left.

My head was swimming with thoughts. I had gone home and went to bed, too emotionally exhausted to think so I went to sleep.

My eyes fluttered open and I flinched and groaned at the brightness. I noticed it wasn't the sun that was what was bright; it was a huge light over me. I must have left the light on.

"Uhh. Max?" I groaned closing my eyes.

There was no answer.

"Max?" I called. Still no answer. Great, she was out.

I tried to sit up but couldn't. I went to put my hand over my eyes for it was so bright, but my hand wouldn't move.

I opened my eyes and looked down at my hand.

It was bonded to the table. Table?

I put my head up and looked around. I was lying on a table in a white room. I was tied down to the table and a bright operating light was above me.

"Hello?" I called. I then changed my mind; I didn't want anyone to come in. What if this was a kidnapping or something?

My mind raced and my heart beat fastened. I started pulling at my ropes but nothing was happening.

Just then the door opened. I looked over at it as someone in a white coat walked in.

"You're awake" the guy noted.

"Where am I?" I asked, the man sounding familiar.

The man walked over, his back to me as he sorted through a bunch of tools beside the table. I saw him pick up a knife.

"I'm going to help you Ella" he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your just a vulnerable little girl. I'll make you better" the guy said.

"No thanks" I said and he chuckled.

"It's too late" he said turning to face me.

The light fell on his face. Alex

I sat up straight with a gasp. Sweat all over me. I was sitting in my bed, the middle of the night. It had just been a dream. Right?
