• I woke up laying on a bed. It was dark and really quiet. My body ached everywhere, It hurt to move just even an inch, but I didnt care. I groaned as I struggled to sit up.
    "mmmmnn....Anysa..."
    I was about to scream but I covered my mouth with my hand, then flinched at the pain. Fear struck my heart, but it eased down as I realized that it was Roger. He was sitting on a chair, his head rested on his crossed arms on the bed, and he was sleeping. Without thinking, I slowly crawled up to him, then layed close to him so that my head was right next to his. I liked hearing his soft, quiet breathing. I grabbed my arm where the symbol was at, it was beating, like it had its own heart.

    I woke up at the sound of the door bursting open.
    "wakey wakey sleeping beauty's!" the sound of Treks loud voice made me groan.
    "Trek, dont! Anysa, shes not well!" Rogers mom sounded angry.
    "im okay.." I grumbled. "feeling...fine"
    The others came in and it got really loud in the room. Roger mumbled something then slowly got up, but I didnt want to move.
    "oh..im so...tired..." Roger yawned and stretched his arms. "oh you guys..what are ya-oh Anysa!" He fell off the chair but quickly got up to see me. "are you okay? Yesterday you were..it was so scary! Are you alright?"
    "mmhmm.." I nodded my head. "fine...im fine"
    "hey, did something happen yesterday?" Jen asked, worried.
    "uh..well..An-"
    "nothing...its nothing. I'm fine" I sat up, trying not to show the pain I felt. "just hungry"
    That made Rogers mom really relieved. "oh thank goodness...okay, okay, I made pancakes outside. Come eat all you want, Anysa! You get first pick"
    "awwwww" the others started whining.
    "its only fair, you guys! plus, you have your own home to eat breakfast at" His mom glanced over at Roger and me then started pushing the others out, leaving me and him alone in the room.
    I looked at Roger who was fiddling with the blanket sheets.
    "are you sure...?" He said, not taking his eyes off the blanket.
    "am I sure..what?"
    He dropped the sheets and looked at me. "are you sure your okay?! Yesterday..yesterday you fell off the chair! and you were screaming so loud...it was terrifying! Then with out warning, you just stopped moving, we thought you died! Then my mom fainted and I had no idea what to do. I couldnt pick up my mom, so I ran to her room and grabbed a blanket then ran back downstairs and put it over her. I picked you off from the floor and carried you to the guest room..here...you kept mumbling, repeating the words 'stop Usoda, dont do it'. I was in such a panic that I nearly fainted myself!"
    "...im sorry.."
    "it wasn't your fault"
    There was a long silence, the longest I ever felt. Roger was thinking about yesterday and I was thinking about what he said...when he said I kept saying stop Usoda, dont do it. I wasn't awake when that happened...at least I dont think I was. But, why did I say that? Usoda..I never even heard of him until Rogers mom told me. I stared at the red, pumping symbol on my arm.
    There was a knock on the door. "hurry up, the pancakes are gonna get cold!" Boa shouted out.
    Me and Roger got up and walked out the door. I was still thinking about those words, about yesterday.
    Somethings happening..but what?
