Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OCs. :)
A/N: Okay, you all can kick me later for this short chapter, but I didn't want to add it to another part, because I want y'all to ponder over it, and allow it to make an impact. I also didn't go over this chapter for spelling/grammar mistakes, so there could be a few, I'm sorry, I'm pressed for time. I may update tomorrow, btw, too! :D I also, haha, put up another story, and like I said, it's another ShannonOC story, and you will like it, especially if you like lots of TWISTS. ( ;) if you understand that wink, you are one person I meant it for. :p) Anyway, yeah. And again I ask: check out littlerascalash's stories! They deserve more credit. She writes like whoaaa. :) Anyway, enjoy. ;)

Day Seven.

-Charity's POV-

They think they're so sneaky, those Hardy Boyz. It's only six in the morning, but they've been up and at it for about an hour now, talking in hushed tones and whispers. They think I'm asleep, off in some dreamland. Silly men.

"Shh! Before you wake her up! She can still sleep for a while now. Did you call Vince yet?" Jeff whispers, except it's not really a whisper. I'd learned quickly that Jeffrey Nero Hardy was nearly incapable of speaking in whispers, and therefore, it was easier for me to hear what he was saying.

"No, I didn't," Matt's fainter voice whispers back, walking past the door and into the room next to mine, a.k.a. his bedroom. I'd only seen it once, but the TV inside it made me want to drop on the floor. Biggest thing I'd ever seen TV wise. "I'm going to call him in a few, and make sure everything is still a go."

"Good," Jeff says back, and his voice floats away, sounding like he was going to wake up Beth. That is the last thing I hear, before my damn brain and mind floats back off into dreamland, even if not for long.

Wake up. Penn? That's who was in front of me. I'm on some kind of trail, by the looks of it, near Matt's house, and Penn is before me. "Follow me," Penn whispers, using his healthy looking arms to guide my way through thick vines and bushes. When did it get so jungle like? I follow him like he asks, but can't keep up; he's so far ahead of me.

"Penn, where are we going? I'm going to miss my surprise!" I say back stubbornly, and cross my arms over my chest with a pout. Turning around, all I see is black. Okay…weird. Penn just smirks at me, as if to say, 'so are you coming or not?' I groan, while following him. The woods are so lush and green; it reminds me of a children book's illustrations, the way they pop out at you, colors blending in parts.

"Just a little bit longer…" a voice wavers into my mind, though Penn is no longer in sight. Finally, I reach a clearing, but Penn is no where in sight, or do I see any traces of him. "Come closer to the rock," the same voice wavers, lurking me forward. Why the hell was he being so cryptic? I hated when he was. I inched forward, just as I felt two strong arms touch me. Startled, I see Penn, and he's trying to pull me from the edge.

"Don't go…" he whispers.

"Come closer," Shannon's voice reckons from below us. "Don't worry about falling, I will catch you."

"Why not?" I glance at the other side, down a slight cliff only to see a red blur of almost nothing, but there is a figure at the bottom. It looks like Shannon. "Why Penn?"

"Do you think you're ready for the jump?" he asks me, eyeing me closely. "Don't make the wrong choice too fast…it only cause's trouble." What? What the hell is that supposed to mean? When did Matt's house become this area? I'm so confused. "He will catch you, but if you jump the wrong way, or jump too soon, nothing will happen, or stop your fall if you don't fall directly…" I'm still so confused by his jumbled words, so I start to whimper.

"WAKE UP!" Something yells. Suddenly, the entire area is back in the bedroom, and Jeff is standing before me at the foot of my bed. "You were whimpering and mumbling things about falling and jumping. I don't believe you're me, so I don't think jumping is anything you need to be worrying about," Jeff jokes. "Anyway," he continues, when I don't laugh. My mind is now on the dream: what did it mean? "It's time to get up and get ready, let's go!"

"Okay, in a second," I reply, and he nods, leaving me alone. "What was that supposed to mean?" I ask no one in particular.
