A/n: Alright not sure the last time I posted cause I've been taking more naps than a fat cat since I haven't been the best sleeper lately… days are blending in and blah blah blah. Any how I'm adding this one to be a nice little girl (or a mean one but if you think that you probably would have stopped reading) and added this! Anyhow enjoy this chapter!

A Jolt

I woke up in the bed, my bed, feeling a bandage on my chest.

Lucas wasn't anywhere in site or mind and he's the only way I knew how to find out what was going on. I would call for him but I'm afraid that maybe someone else will come in and maybe they would hurt me. But I really didn't want Lucas. For some odd reason I though I wanted Adam, the stranger I have never met in my life who watched me be taken away by Josh to be here with me. To be here for me. Whenever I though of him I got that excitement in me that… that jolt that I just couldn't resist and it made me want to go on, to think about him more. All I wanted was that wanted, safe, happy feeling.

As I tried to get up to take a quick shower there was a sore feeling blanketing my body. I wasn't sure how hard I had fallen but by the way I was feeling I was guessing it was pretty hard. I got up through the pain but chose to just change clothes since I didn't want to risk and trouble with the bandaging. The clothes I have here are slightly to big but it's better than sitting around in the same jeans and shirt I was kidnapped in, plus those clothes bring back to many bad memories for me. After I'm done changing I sit in the bed a while longer and then I know Lucas is coming by that familiar sound of the locks unlocking and chain coming off.

"Hey" he says with that husky deep voice. I am yet to figure out where I know that voice. It's just like when I saw Adam. They both seem so comforting, and familiar. But I just simply can't figure out where I know them both from. I don't let it get to me any longer though.

"Hi Lucas" I say with a defeated sigh. "What happened to me yesterday by the way? I remember the pain in my chest and falling but then I just remember blackness and waking up feeling sore, with bandages on me."

"Well uhh, you got shot. It was from someone across the hall both of the doors were open. Not sure what or who he was aiming for but he ended up getting you. Don't worry though you obviously weren't his target but that's how it ended up. How are you feeling?"

"Tired, worn out, and sore. I don't feel that much pain where the wound is. It's just a slight discomfort." I tried to sound tough, but by the way those pure blue eyes were looking at me I knew he didn't believe me.

"Okay then. If you need anything you'll tell me though right?"

"Yeah I'll tell you."

"Good" and with that he sat down and we looked at each other in silence. I had to brake away for I felt like I was betraying someone. I'm not sure why but it just felt so wrong looking at Lucas this way. We sat in silence some more after that until he was the one to break it.

"Umm Ariel… I kind of uhh read that Dream Log thing you have. I've seen you write in it a lot and when you passed out I was worried that you wouldn't come back… I didn't mean anything by it, it's just tha-"

"Wait how long was I unconscious?" I truly didn't care that he had been reading the journal for there was nothing interesting about anything in there and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it past the first page which is by far the most interesting.

"About three days"

"Oh wow… and uhhh so you read my log huh?"

"Yeah.. and I'm sorry… but I can't help but ask what does Adam look like, and in you later dreams what does Mike look like?"

"It's okay I don't really care if you read it… you can read it whenever truly just pick up where you left off" I said this with a smile so he would stop seeming so nervous, it really wasn't like the Lucas I was used to. "Oh and Adam is really tall, black hair green eyes… nothing special really" I lied, there was something very special about the way Adam looked, "And oddly enough Mike looks just like you, only his hair is a little more blonde like from what I can remember." After saying this it makes me blush. Not only cause I was admitting that a guy in my dream looks like him but also because he seemed truly interested about what's going on.

"Wow… Ariel you may not believe what I'm going to tell you but it's worth a shot..."

"What is it Lucas?" There was so much going on in my head. So many things screaming at me so many questions. I just couldn't wrap my head around anything that he said next.

A Pain

Mike. I remember him quite clearly from France.

He was the guy I was fighting with over Ariel. I hated him. We hated each other really but there wasn't much that I could do about it since she liked us both. It was always known that she had liked me best but knew she couldn't be seen with me so around town and in public she would chose to be with him.

They would go to plays together and balls and dances, and only kiss is necessary or asked. She would kiss me whenever she liked as I would do the same and there was no doubt about it. We were in love. But he would do anything to be with the fair and beautiful Ariel. I knew he was with her, Laurie, for I could feel it. She knew I was hurt, and stopped. But she still felt something for him. We both knew it and there was no way she could hide it now.

I was brought from my trance of remembering and pain when I hear Katharine walk through my back door.

"Well hello Aaron."

"Katharine nice to see you."

"It's the 21st century Adam we don't have to fake being polite anymore. We can say what we mean and mean what we say. I'm so glad for it since I now don't have to be a proper lady"

"You never truly were one Tiffany, for you only made your debut because of your parents power."

"Well you Adam were never a true gentle man for the fact tha-"

"Just tell me what you wanted to come here for."

"First can we let some light in here? It's far to dark and drab" when she finishes she's already finished pulling the curtains away from their windows exposing the luminescent light of the sun.

"Since you've now done that may we move on?"

"Yes, yes of course. Still so impatient I see jeez. I wanted to talk to you about what you've become. You're a soul walker Adam which means that at long as your soul never leaves your shell, your body, your shell shall not ever age and your soul shall not either making you a near immortal."

"So what you're saying is at long as I never go into a coma or something along those lines then I'll stay this way for ever never aging and always remembering?"

" Exactly what I'm saying. Now you've got to start learning your powers as for if you don't you shan't ever save dear Laurie.

"First lesson to know is that every time you move you'll be in the same crowd and the same events will happen over and over again. Like me being friends with Eva and Megan, they are the same recycled souls of Jane and Cora, also like Ariel, not Laurie. Each time she gets killed and every time Jane and Cora act the same way.

"In fact before I changed you and Mike you both acted the same way as you did the first time you can remember. Oh! And every time something like a death happens such as a suicide or a murder they switch off each lifetime. The first time Ariel was killed, and then she killed her-self, so on and so forth.

" I know it's hard to hear, it's hard for me to talk about since she is my dear friend after all but what must be said must be said. Last thing that I must get in is the fact that the murders soul recycles as well and the murders get farther away ,by ten seconds exactly I've heard, each time." (A/n: the whole italics blurb is Katharine talking I split it up since it was long… just so you know)

When she was done I just looked at her, soaking in everything I was just told. I'm in love with Laurie's soul meaning that even when she does die I'll just have to wait eighteen more years until I can love her again. But I still don't want to wait. I want her safe and with me.

"If… I mean when I save her this time will that mean I'll save her every time from now on?"

"Well you probably won't save her this time but you'll get closer and closer each time you try, since we'll be working on your powers, even with the suicides, and once you finally do save her yes, you'll save her every time from then on."

This was good news even if I couldn't save her this time or the next. But why was I so unhappy with the answer? Just as I was thinking about how Laurie was feeling I knew she felt safe and that she would make it through at least another day.

(Just to clear things up what Lucas told Laurie is what Katharine told Aaron pretty much about the souls and stuff about helping her remember)
