"At your service. But please warn me next time you're trying to die. I'll try to help."
"Will do."
Suddenly, Spark seems to wake up, and jumps down from my lap, stretching on the balcony. Is he done sleeping now? I shake my head and get up too.
"I'm going to get something to drink... Do you want anything?"
"No, thanks."
"Okay."
I step back inside, but to my surprise, Bonnie is standing there. Not only that, her arms are crossed, and she has tears in her eyes... Did she overhear us? I hesitate, but she sniffles, and points at the balcony.
"Do you mind if I... chat with my brother for a minute?"
I shake my head and step aside, letting Bonnie take my seat on the balcony. Well, maybe it's a good thing. Maybe she needed to hear that her twin isn't as alright as he seems. I think Bonnie might be more harsh because that's her way to deal with it too...
"Come on, Spark."
I go to the kitchen to grab myself a cup of water, feeling very thirsty all of a sudden. I really want to go to that cemetery first thing in the morning. I glance at the clock, but it's still too early. Instead, I stay in the kitchen, slowly drinking and thinking a lot. What Ben said about family made me think of my own sister.
I didn't stop to think about it again, but I can't forget about Amy trying to come and see her younger sister who was crying... I sigh, and go to grab the phone. I tried to call her earlier, but she wasn't answering. She hasn't called back since. I check the voicemail, but there's nothing.
I hesitate, and push the call button. It rings one, two, three times. I glance at the clock, a bit nervous; I shouldn't have called at such a time but then again, who knows which side of the world she is on…?
"Amy Garnett speaking. Who is this?"
For a couple of seconds I'm surprised. Shit, the phone! I forgot I took Liam's, Amy doesn't know this number.
"It's Ma-... I mean, Clarissa," I say, a bit embarrassed.
"Oh. ...Is everything okay? What's this number?"
"Yeah, uh... I borrowed a phone from a friend."
"I see."
She doesn't say anything after that and I'm a bit at a loss on what to say. My eyes go to the clock again.
"I'm not... waking you up, am I?"
"No, I was working on something."
"Are you busy?"
"No, it's fine. Clarissa, what is it? Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah, but, uh... I need to tell you something."
I take a deep breath. I'm not really sure how to bring the subject up without making Amy freak out. If anything, I don't want to tell her about the magic circles and even all the trouble I got into today. She'd most likely have me on the next plane out of Silver City...
"Amy, I had a dream about... when I was younger. Before the accident."
"What, really? Is your memory coming back then?"
The tone of her voice surprises me. I can tell she sounds happy about it but also... cautious. I know I have to ask, but somehow, it's just not easy. I don't know what Amy knew or not, and I'm afraid I'll reveal something she shouldn't have known. Why am I so cautious with her all of a sudden?
"I can't really say," I explain. "It's just... dreams and I think they are memories from the past. Did my room have... dark blue walls?"
