Chapter Thirteen

"Melanie, what is going on?" Jared asked in a nervous voice.

"Ju-just answer the question."

He put his hands on my cheeks, forcing me to look into his eyes. He sighed, "Melanie...I think you need some sleep. You aren't making any sense. I think you're extremely tired."

I sat down on the bed, still keeping my focus on Jared. Kellan came and by nestled my leg. I reached a hand out to pet him.

"I'm not tired. I slept for a long time and I had this dream-"

"What dream?" He asked as soon as I mentioned it.

"Well if you would let me finish...I had this dream about a boy and a girl that were hiking up a mountain. In Arizona. They fell into a hole at the top and...and died.." I looked down at the ground as I said these words out loud. I felt pain in my stomach for the couple; they were so in love. The same way that me and Jared are. I noticed the ring on my hand and smiled faintly.

"Honey, it was just a dream. No one really died." He said, trying to reassure me.

"No. It wasn't just a dream. Jared, I think a couple really did die here. In these caves. I know I sound crazy right now but just hear me out. The couple, when they...died. They-they said their names were 'A' and 'J.'" I started to talk faster and faster. I felt as though I couldn't get the words out quickly enough. "Doesn't it seem weird to you that I would have a dream like that when Wanda now claims to be someone named Allie and Ian claims to be someone named Jason?" I didn't look at Jared the whole time I spoke, but when I did look up I immediately regretted it.

Jared's face looked solemn. Like he just found out his fiancé was insane. I wasn't insane though and I was going to prove it.

He sighed again and started to shake his head. "So what you are trying to tell me is that you believe that this...this couple has taken over Wanda and Ian's bodies? Do you even hear yourself right now?"

It was my turn to sigh now. What did I really expect from him? Did I honestly think he would believe what I was saying? Would I even believe someone if they told me this? Probably not.

"It was just a bad dream, Mel. Maybe you should try and get some more sleep." He smiled and leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"So you don't believe in ghosts then?" I asked quietly, still petting Kellan. He was asleep on my lap now.

He reached his hand out to cover mine. "Sweetie, I believe that something weird is happening with Wanda and Ian. But I don't believe that you should try to be Nancy Drew and figure this thing out... Okay?"

My heart sank; I knew I was right. I never have strange dreams like that. How was I going to tell the rest of the group though? Would anyone believe me? I had to try. I didn't know what proving this would do, though. How do you go about getting ghosts out of a body? Is there even a way to do it? I would do anything to save Wanda. Ian too.

"Okay," I replied with a fake smile.

Jared leaned in to kiss my lips this time. I felt a rush of adrenaline cover me. I pulled him closer, being careful not to squish Kellan, who was still laying on my lap. Apparently I did not do such a good job as I heard a small yelp and felt him get up to move. I continued to kiss Jared passionately as I peered at Kellan from the corner of my eye. He looked like he knew what was happening and was happy to be out of the way.

I felt Jared run his hands up my stomach, towards my neck. He started to remove my sweater, while moving his lips down my chin. I rolled my head back and used my hands to push his body closer to mine. I felt him trying to pull my shirt over my head and let I go for a split second. It was enough time for him to get it off and I moved on to pulling his shirt off. He didn't waste any time, instead of pulling it over his head, he ripped it off. I raised my eyebrows, thoroughly impressed. I felt him chuckle.

We continued to kiss for quite a while before moving on to more intimate matters. I was still a little upset that he had not believed me about my dream, but who could really blame him? I was just happy to be in his arms. This wasn't the first time that me and him had been together like this, but it still felt just as special. I was glad that neither of us were growing old with each other and hoped it would be that way forever.

After we were done making love we laid down next to each other in bed, our arms wrapped around each other. I could feel his heart beating and heard his breathing finally become steady.

"I love you Jared."

"I love you too, Melanie."

We laid there for about twenty more minutes before hearing footsteps outside. It must have been time for breakfast. We both got up to put clean clothes on. It took me a little bit longer than it did Jared, but I told him I didn't mind him getting a head start on eating. After he left I sat on the bed with my hands covering my face. Maybe I was just crazy. Who could have dreams about the past? I've heard of people telling the future, but the past?

"Hey!" A friendly voice said from right outside my door. I looked up to see Allie leaning against the wall.

"Hi," I replied in a hushed tone. I wasn't in the mood for visitors, but I suddenly realized this was my golden opportunity and quickly added, "Have you ever been hiking?"

She looked slightly taken aback. "What a random question...but yes, I used to go all the time with Jason. I remember this one time, when we first started dating, he took me on a trip to this place called Rainbow Basin. Sounds really cool right? Well it isn't. I ended up spraining my ankle after only fifteen minutes. Talk about embarrassing. I thought he was going to break up with me right then because I wasn't adventurous enough for him."

I found myself being intrigued by her story. I felt like we were best friends and were sharing our past over a campfire on a starry night. It was weird, but it felt nice.

"Did he?" I asked, really interested.

"No." She started to laugh. "He didn't. He ended up taking me out to Sizzler's."

I laughed too. "What a cute story."

She smiled and walked over to sit down next to me. "Thanks. So what made you ask me that?"

I looked at her, flashing a smile back. "Just wondering."

So she used to go hiking with Jason, just like in my dream. Was it just a coincidence? I had to question her more to find out. What else was in my dream though? Something about a waterfall! And she was taking pictures! Maybe she wanted to be a photographer?

"So...what did you want to do with your life? I mean before you ended up here." My voice was a little shaky because I was so nervous. I wanted to be right about everything, but what would it really prove?

She started to pet Kellan while she answered, "Well to be honest I wanted to do everything. Most of all I wanted to travel around the world. I wanted to see all the beautiful places that our world has to offer. Then I wanted to make a scrapbook of all the plane tickets and pictures I would take. Kind of like a diary, but I wanted to sell it. It would be like my life story. Cool huh?"

My heart skipped a beat. It all made sense. She wanted to travel, which explained why she at a waterfall...with a camera. She wanted to document the whole experience. There was no way this could all just be a coincidence, it seemed to fit too perfectly. If only I could remember what the girl had looked like. She couldn't look like Wanda's body and Jason couldn't have looked like Ian. I was so focused on their mangled bodies I didn't even seem to notice their faces. Why do I always seem to miss the important things?

"That is cool. I would have loved to see something like that. Traveling the world seems like fun too."

She sounded excited, "You have no idea. We had already started traveling, me and Jason. We were making our way through all 50 states before we went to a different country. We made it to Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and were going through Arizona when I ended up here."

My eyes opened wide. So the last place she remembered going was Arizona? Is that because that was where she would meet her fate?

"Arizona, huh? What were you doing while you were in Arizona?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Hiking, of course. Jason had heard about these killer mountains so he wanted to go see them for himself."

'Killer' mountains - no kidding. "And that's the last thing you remember?" I asked, even more nervous than before.

"Yep. Pretty strange," Allie replied. She stood up and straightened her shorts. "Well I just wanted to stop by and say hi and sorry that I was such a bitch yesterday. You seem alright though." She smiled and play punched my shoulder.

I returned the friendly smile, "Yeah, you do too."

She walked out of the room after giving Kellan a soft kiss on the head and saying bye. I was left there even more confused than before. So this Allie liked to take pictures and wanted to travel the world. The last thing she remembers doing is hiking up a mountain in Arizona. Now Jared and everyone else might say that it's just a coincidence, but I know it isn't. I just need proof.

(A/N: So to be honest I have no idea where I am going with this whole 'ghost' thing. I hope it all works itself out and I'm not just digging myself a hole here. Hehe. If I am, it's a fun hole to be in. Jump in and let me know what you think. =)
