like the woods, and soap. His hand slid through my hair, soothing me.

We sat like that for a while, until his hand stopped and his breathing slowed, falling asleep. I soon fallowed after him. When I woke up, I felt someones gaze on me. I relized I was laying down with Nick still, my head on his chest. I looked up and saw him looking at me. His eyes were filled with.....love? sorrow? Synpothy? The first couldn't be ture. I quickly jumpped away, his hand falling from my back. I was blushing now. I think he was too kinda. It almost felt weird that it wasn't Demetri, but somehow it felt more right. I quickly looked around, it was still light out. Nick looked away akwardly and had a hand through his hair. "Eh, we better get going, Alice is proubly cooled down by now" he said standing up, and holding a hand out for me. I took it and he pulled me up. "Thanks" I mumbled, still blushing. I could feel the heat in my face.

He held my hand for a second longer then he had to, then let go. "You'll be okay right?" he asked, uncertainly. "I'll be fine" I said, running my hand through my hair to fix it. We started walking. "Well, if you ever want to break out of house arrest, you can come and find me. If not, then Im still breaking you out" he said with a grin. I smiled back at him. "Will do". We walked, talking lightly about the school, and I had Chours, history, and power control with him. He suggested that I play along as a water user. I agreed with that, I wasn't feeling to good with the others yet.

Finally we came to the hall for the dorms. It was getting dark down, neither of us were hungry. "I'll see you tomarrow" he said finally. "Yeah, see yeah" I said, opening the door. He waved as he walked away. I quickly went into the room, Alice was laying on her bed, looking bord and looking at the cealling.

"'Bout time you come back" Alice grumbles, still looking at the cealing. "Does he know about you doing all that stuff, you know, maving things with your mind?" she askes, seeming still a little angry. "Well...um, yes?" I say uncomfterbly. Im not sure how she'll react, and Im not even sure why I did it. Alice sat up, quickly. "Why would you do that? Are you sure you can trust him?" Alice says urgently. She looks mad yes, but she also looks worried. "Yes, I can trust him. He wont tell" I say, avoiding the first question. Alice seems to calm down slightly. "Your sure?" she asks warrily. "Yes" I say, positive he won't. Alice slumps back aginst her head bord on her bed. "You need to stay away from him. I don't like him, and I dont trust him. You might, I dont" she said, narrowing her eyes at me. I didn't know what happened between those two, but right now, it didn't matter what she thought.

"Well, hes not going to tell, and Im not just going to stay away from him. Hes nice, and pratically the only real firend I have right now." I snapped, angry. Alice stood up, fuming. "What about Sam? She already likes you, your her firend. What about me?" she asked, seeming a little hurt at the last question. "I only talked to Sam for 5 mins, and you are my firend, you'll always be my firend" I say, getting quiter. Alice is silent for a moment. "Just please be carful" Alice says at last. I smile a little, "Always am" I say. I smiles, "Not today, aperently" she snorts. Then, suddenly rembering somthing Alice pulls a cell out of her pocket, then tosses it at me. "Its all yours" she says. I catch it and look at it for a second. Its dark purple, a slide phone. "Thanks" I said, smiling full-on now. "No prob, now go change and let go to bed" she sayd, yawning. She must have been doing alot today, for her to be tired. I put my cell on my dresser, and go change. When I come back out, Im wearing my silky black bottoms that have dark purple hearts on them, and a purple top. No sleeves.

Alice already shut the lights off, and is in bed. I go in my bed, and stare at the dark celing. "I don't mean to be rude, but whats up with your wrists?" Alice asks, sounding casual. I sigh and absently trace the marks there. I think about telling her. he dosn't seem like she would flip out like Demetri. "Just happens, too much emotion, and the pain is stronger than that" I say quitly. "Don't the marks bother you?" she asks. I think about it. Do they? The marks of rembering... "Yeah, kinda" I say, stil quite. I hear Alice get up, and the lights come on. "Then make them go away" she says as I sit up. I give her a puzzled look. "You can do almost anything, so why not make them go away?" she says, as if it explaind everything. "Can I?" I ask. She shruggs, "Why not try?".

I look at the marks on my wrist, and foucus on my skin, and make the skin reagange itself, or just go away. It hurts, feeling my skin move away. I keep doing it, thn move on to my other wrist, then the scars from the past, that wern't from me. It works, but I feel drained and sore. Alice stands near the light switch still, but her eyes are slightly widened. "You did it" she says in awe. I look at my arms, no marks, but my skin is all red now, like a sun burn. "Are you okay?" Alice asks, snapping out of her daze and comming over to me. "I just...feel tired, and sore now" I say unevenly. "Well, don't do it again any time soon. Go to bed for now" she said, and flicked off the light. I layed back down, and instantly fell asleep.

I dream Im with Nick. For the first time in a long time, its not a nightmare. Not in the begining, anyway. We're in the treehouse, hes holding my hand. Hes trying to show me new thing I can do with earth. We're all smiling, then the wind picks up, more and more, the sky goes dark. There is no rain, but theres thunder. The tree sways, we both stand up, wide eyed and panicked. It sways more and more, util its picked up in the air, spinning, and Nick is ripped from my hand, and about to fly out the door. "NO!" I scream, reaching for him. I grab his hand, trying to pull him back in. Alice is right behind me, telling me to let go or I'll be pulled in too, Nick is saying the same thing. Then, the wind whispers : "Love one, loose the other, love none, loose both, love both, loose yourself" I don't understand anything, Im not listening to anyone, just pulling in Nick. Then I wake up as my hands start to slip...

I sit up, ghasping. Its 8:03 am. Alice is sitting up in her bed, looking confussed. She quickly looks at me. "Did you..." she asks, uncertainly. I nod. "Do not tell anyone" Alice says, quickly. I nod again. "Don't worry, its just a dream" Alice says, trying to get rid of my uneasiness. Me and her both no it wasn't just a dream. "Love one, loose the other, love none, loose both, love both, loose yourself" I whisper. Alice looks at me conufsed. "Didn't you hear it? In the dream, I herd it" I explain. Alice shakes her head, "I didn't hear anything like that"

Me and her both push it to the side, and get dressed. But both of us will keep rembering, trying to make sense. Im wearing dark blue skinny jeans, and over the shoulder red shirt, with the belt on it. Alice has light blue stright-cut jeans, and a V-neck purple aro shirt. Im almost jelous, thinking she can alwawys look better that me. I have converse shoes, that I had gotten 2 months ago. We head out, going diffrent ways. First I have history, then art, power control, then chours, then basic fighting.

As I walk into the history room, I see there is 10 people in it so far. The teacher, later I learn her name is Mrs. Gonda, tells me where to sit, and gives me a text book and a couple papers. Nick is in the back, and smiles when he sees me, encourgly. Then before I can say anything, everyone has to sit down and shut up. I feel everyones gazes on me, and I look down, letting my hair create a curtin from them as I look at the book. I find more about the royal families, who started them , the first royal families, where they are located, and more about my own royal family. "The Belka family was belived to gone extinted, but we have proof that it is not true. Charolette Salia Belka, the last Belka" Mrs. Gonda says. I stay where I am, not moving under everyones suprised glances."How do they know shes actualy a Belka? Before they said a rivle clan killed the last two" someone piped up. It was a guy with brown spiky hair. "That is a good question Mike, Charolette, why don't you tell everyone?" the teacher asked. Nick answered before I could panick. "Some people have always known, just kept it secret. Char didn't even know until last week" he said, causlly. "Thank you Nick, but I do belive I didn't ask you" Mrs Gonda says, not too hapy about him answering for me.

We moved on to somthing else after that, then we all left to go to the next class. Nick was waiting for me. "Thank you" I said as we started walking. "No thanks needed. She had no right to ask you" he said. "Where you going next?" he asked, changing the subject back to me. "art" I said, and he wrinkled his nose. I don;t know how, but it made him look cuter. "I cant draw to save my life" he said. I smiled at him, "Well I can"

We both split up, and I went into the art room. I knew no one in there. Eveyone was roaming around freely, chatting, guys gitting on girls. "Charolette" the teacher, Mr.Walker called me over. "Right now, were just free styling. Every Monday is, so you can just draw, pain, whatever. I would like to see somthing from you today, to see what levle your at" he said. I nodded my thanks, and went to draw. A couple people looked at me, and my heart was beating wildly, nervous. I sat down, away from everyone else. I drew a swirling flower, drops of dew on it. It was black and dark red. The flower balck, the swirls red. Some guy sat across from me now, looking at my paper as I drew. "Hey, thats good. Maby you can teach me how to draw sometime, I suck" he said, smirking at me. He was all cocky. "Maby, proubly not" I said, looking back down at my paper. "Why not? I wouldn't mind privte lessons" he said, leaning closer. I ignord him, and pressed the pencil harder on the paper. "In fact, I think I could skip the drawing part too" he whispered. "I wouldn't bother trying" I said, not looking at him. The table was suddenly too small, he was only a few inches from me.

"Oh, I don't need to try" he
