Rewind (Vanish Book Three) by Sonny Daise Page A

through the doors. Nurse Debby was sitting at the desk
with her laptop.
    “ Ann, what are you doing
back so soon?”
    “ Did you find anything out?”
I asked, remembering her asking about where I was.
    “ No, she says she doesn’t
know anything.”
    “ Maybe I should just take
her home.”
    “ No,” Nurse Debby yelled.
“We can’t risk her going to find Scarlett. You’ve really screwed up
this time haven’t you?”
    “ What do you mean?” I said
nonchalantly.
    “ We took Rose’s powers. We
made our way back here, and all for you to lose Scarlett again!”
she shouted.
    “ I’m sorry. I’m having kind
of a hectic day…. We came back from the future…” I said as if it
wasn’t a question, but she could tell something was up.
    “ Yes, we came back from the
future. The Alliance…” she took a deep breath. “You’re going to be
in some deep trouble if you don’t find that little
bitch.”
    “ So we find her, and then…”
I trailed off, seeming as though I was deep in some other
thought.
    “ Ann, you should really know
this. We take her powers. We take everyone’s powers. Everyone will
bow to us; we will be the new head of the Alliance.”
    “ Why? Why does everyone need
to be powerful to be happy?”
    “ Oh Ann, please don’t tell
me you’ve somehow found your heart. This was our plan all
along.”
    “ And what does Scarlett have
to do with this?”
    “ You’ve known from the very
moment you took her away from her mother what she has to do with
this. She’s the most powerful of our kind that’s ever lived. The
people behind the Alliance want her to lead with them… but they’re
idiots.”
    “ What if she doesn’t know
that?”
    “ The less she knows, the
better. The less they know the better, but we need to find her
soon.”
    “ And if the Alliance finds
her before we do?”
    “ Well, then, I guess we’re
screwed,” she said, glaring at me the entire time.
    “ Look, I
know this is going to sound crazy, but I’ve seen her powers. They
really don’t seem like anything that special,” I said, waiting for an
answer or anything that would explain this in any little way. Why
was I so powerful? Yes, I had powers, but there had to be someone more powerful
than me.
    She took a deep breath,
“Ann, I really am worried about you. Has this been too much to
handle?” I shook my head, not knowing what else to do. “Well, then,
get your act together.”
    “ Alright, let’s just forget
about this little meeting, okay? I’ll get back on track. I
promise.” She nodded, and I walked out the door. Dante and Grace
were waiting by the car.
    “ What happened?” Dante
demanded as I walked over to them.
    I closed my eyes and changed back into
myself.
    “ Ann and Nurse Debby came
back from the future, too. They plan to take my powers and kill me.
They want everyone’s powers, and I’m sure they’re planning on
killing everyone else, too.”
    “ So what do we do?” Dante
asked.
    “ Either we kill them, and
somehow take over the Alliance ourselves. Or we hide.”
    “ Whatever you decide, I have
your back,” Grace promised.
    “ Me, too,” Dante
agreed.
    “ Well, until we come up with
a better plan—a flawless plan—I think we need to hide, and I know
just the place, but first we need to get Rose out.”
     
     

Chapter 7:
Rescue
    We sat in the car until the
sun went down. We could see the front of Meadowbrook faintly
through the bushes in front of the car. It was obvious that Nurse
Debby was the only one there. She went out to her car and
left.
    “ Perfect,” I said aloud.
“There’s one thing though… I don’t know how this will all play out.
Rose kind of thinks I’m crazy, I told her about coming back in
time, and she didn’t remember.”
    “ If she puts up any kind of
fight, I’m sure I can handle her,” Dante said.
    “ Alright, let’s
go.”
    We walked up to the front doors; I went
over to Nurse Debby’s desk, nothing unusual. I turned on the
computer monitor; the
