EIGHT

Corinne felt completely adrift. Day had changed to night in an instant and her body was no longer her own. Dizziness overwhelmed her and she tried to get her bearings. She was in a street, but where? Spinning around she saw the church and familiarity washed over her. She knew where she was now.

Suddenly, to her left, she saw the great hulk of car speeding along the road, the headlights too bright, blinding her, and the engine too loud, deafening her. It was like she had been transported to another time and place. Ahead of her, she saw Helena crossing the road, singing to herself, her favourite sandals swinging loosely from her delicate fingers. The car was heading straight for her and Corinne watched helplessly as it hit her. She held out her arm trying to reach for her sister. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. Corinne gulped for air feeling like she was drowning and then blackness enveloped her once more.

In the depth of dark shadows she heard a voice, it was insistent, calling her name but she felt trapped in a murky fog. She listened for it and there it was again, her name, echoing in the dark. She followed the voice as it slowly pulled her back to the surface of reality.

“Corinne!” Jack was trying with all of his might to bring her back to consciousness, “Corinne, talk to me!”

Finding herself slumped against the wall, Corinne tried to raise her head. She still felt dizzy, sick and slightly disoriented. Breathing deeply, she concentrated on helping the feelings pass. Eventually she opened her eyes, as the uneasy feelings finally dissipated. It was daylight, and there was no sign of Helena or the car. What the hell had happened?

“Are you feeling alright?”

“I think so. What happened?”

“I’m not sure. I went to help you to the car and the next minute you were deadweight in my arms. I think you fainted.”

Corinne was shaken. It looked like her visions were returning with a vengeance. They were becoming more common, as though she were being forced to live out her sister’s final moments, but she had no idea why. She had always had the ability to see things before they happened, but it had never been this strong before, and she had always seen the future, not the past. It scared and unnerved her. It was like Helena was talking to her from beyond the grave, but it wasn’t possible. Was it?

She had to think about it sensibly, but she was too tired and confused to be reasonable about anything right now. Fatigue was making her so confused. She could put it down to not eating any food since breakfast, and the stress of everything that had happened. Perhaps it was just one of those strange dreams you got when you fainted. Helena had been on her mind and she was at the scene of the accident after all. She was too tired to think about it now, and needed to just get into the car and go home.
