I was trapped. It felt like claustrophobia, like I would freak out if I touched any of the walls. I could only move in a metre box without my vision getting fuzzy. I was forced to watched whatever was placed in front of me.

"ROSE!"

I turned around, careful to stay within my invisible box in the darkness. I saw Lissa waving frantically at me to get my attention, before she walked towards me, like there was a road within the black.

We stood together, looking out at what now was a rainforest.

"Is this real?" she asked.

I shook my head. "No. this is a dream."

"Which is a bad thing?"

I looked at her and nodded once. "This is bad."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I didn't see you this time"

She sighed and sat down, strangely comfortable. "Perfect. We're both clueless."

I smiled. "In more ways than one."

She looked up at me, and then we started to laugh. I sat down, skimming the place where I would put my butt with my hand before I did.

The scenery changed, and now we were watching ourselves, lying on the ground in Lissa's room. Our faces were emotionless, but the people hovering over us, concern flooded their faces.

Dimitri stroked my face while the doctor walked through the door, assessing Lissa before me, naturally.

"What's going on?" Dimitri asked as calmly as he could manage, which was strange for him.

The doctor sighed. "I don't know. I've never seen anything like this."

He picked up the pendant that hung around Lissa's neck, studied it, then let it go.

One of the witnesses that had been crouched around Lissa when I put the pendant on her, cleared her throat to draw attention to herself, though you could tell she was very shy.

"She said something," she said. She pointed at me. "That one, she said…Oksana made this…or something like that."

Dimitri's head shot up.

"Oksana?"

She shrugged. "Something like that."

He pulled himself from the ground, looking away from my body, but somehow I knew I wasn't totally forgotten in his burst.

"Oksana? Are you sure?"

She leant away from him. "I'm not sure! But…I think so."

He pulled out his phone and dialled a number. He walked over to the corner and talked in Russian. I couldn't pay attention to anything besides Dimitri, though.

"They're figuring it out." I breathed to Lissa with a smile.

She sighed in relief. "They are?"

I looked at her. "Are you not watching this?"

She looked at me in confusion. "Watching what?"

"Dimitri…" I said slowly. "Us. Everyone crowded around us…."

She looked out. "Wait, wait, wait….now I am."

I looked out too, to see Christian walk into the room and crouch beside Lissa frantically, stroking her hair and kissing her head like Dimitri had done with me.

"You see Christian?" I asked her.

She nodded. "And you see Dimitri."

I smiled. "I guess we see what we want to see, huh?"

She smiled. "This place just got better."

I frowned, thinking to myself. "Lissa?"

She looked at me. "Yeah?"

"Do you feel…" I said slowly. "Do you feel like you never want to leave? Like we could stay here and be happy for the rest of our lives?"

She sighed. "Yeah. But…"

I looked at her.

"But…?"

She squinted, like her head hurt for a split second. "I…nothing."

"No." I urged, smelling something fishy. "Tell me."

"I…don't…" she said, squinting again. "Remember."

"You don't remember?"

she nodded slowly. "I…"

She started fading away, quickly. I started to panic when I couldn't touch her. Her body was disintegrating, but not piece by piece. Her whole body at once.

"Liss? LISS!"

She looked down at herself, then at me, wide eyed, before she disappeared.

"LISSA!"

I looked back down to Dimitri. He was now by my side again, but I looked past him at Lissa.

In relief, I saw her eyes fluttering open.

Now how the hell was I going to get out?
