Chapter Twenty
-Shimmers-
This time, I knew what was going on, right from the start.
The school walkways were dark and empty. I was standing near my locker, but nothing was quite familiar or defined. There was a slight haze softening the walls, the ground, the doors. The longer I focused on an object, the less clear it became.
Silence surrounded me, and yet as I stood trying to draw calm breaths, I heard an odd sing-song voice. It was coming from around the corner, in the next building over. I moved toward the sound.
Walking made everything around me shimmer. Each step I took seemed to move me much further than it should have, and almost instantly I was standing outside of Ms. Lacustaâs classroom. The voice I had heard was much louder, and I knew that Nell was on the other side of the door.
I expected to see her at her old seat, but she was sitting in the front of the room, on Ms. Lacustaâs desk. She was wearing the same sort of white robe as sheâd been in last time weâd spoken, but I was relieved to see that her hands were free this time. She swung her legs back and forth and regarded me steadily, head tilted slightly.
âWell, donât just linger in the doorway, Tasmyn. Please, do come in.â
Unwillingly I moved into the room. Although I tried to take only the smallest step, I found myself standing only a few feet away from Nell.
âThatâs better. I can see you now.â Nell smiled, and I shivered.
âWhy am I here again? Why are you here?â I attempted to sound cool and together, but Iâm fairly certain my voice quivered.
âJust a dream. Isnât that what you told Michael? Just an odd and disturbing dream.â
My heartbeat quickened. How could she know that? I must really be dreaming, I comforted myself. Thatâs how she knows everything. It all comes from my mind.
Nell laughed humorlessly and shook her head. âWhatever helps you sleep at night, Tasmyn. I have to say, though, Iâm really disappointed in you. I thought you were reasonably intelligent.â
I groped behind me and found a desktop that felt real and stable enough to lean against. Tilting my chin up, I met Nellâs gaze.
âI donât know what youâre talking about, Nell.â
âItâs pride, I suppose. I told myself that anyone with enough brains and cunning to bring me down would also be smart enough to stay away from Marica. I was wrong, obviously. I guess you just got lucky.â
My temper flared then. âIt wasnât luck, and it wasnât brains, either. I was just trying to do the right thingââ
Nell waved her hand at me and shook her head in disgust. âThe same old song. Stop. Iâm tired of hearing it. I donât want to talk about that, anyway. I want to know why youâre allowing Marica to manipulate you. What does it take for you to get the hint? For most people, a warning dream from the homicidal maniac who tried to kill them would do the trick.
