A super bright light shone into her eyes as doctors leaned over her. I could hear metal clinking in the background. One of the doctors adjusted an IV hanging next to her head and then put a mask up to her mouth. “Sarah, I need you to count backwards with me from ten and then we’ll get that pesky appendix out and you’ll be feeling much better. 10,9,8,7…” She drifted off.

Sarah wasn’t waking up for a while and probably didn’t hear anything we’d said. Of course, if she had she would most likely chalk it up to a trippy drug induced dream.

I lay back onto my pillows and tried to relax, but my mind was buzzing with questions. What was new about that?

I pictured Avery’s face when he’d heard me talking about my visions to Mom and again when I rewound the bullet from his chest. It was the same look, fear and disgust and betrayal.

Now I’d really done it.

And Mom? She probably hated my guts at this moment. Why couldn’t I have just listened to her and kept out of the way? I’d only made everything worse by trying to help. Sure, she was alive. Alive to experience the feeling of having her heart and soul ripped from her body.

I didn’t want to think about what Dad thought of me. An abomination? A witch? This force inside me went against all of his beliefs.

Which brought me to my other Father. “God,” I quietly prayed, “please forgive me. I lost control. I went astray. I know how to do the right thing. I haven’t been myself, but I will try. I will try harder than you thought I was capable of.”

I wanted to cry. I needed to sob, but I had no tears.
