Rewind (Vanish Book Three) by Sonny Daise Page A

who
can see things. I can see your future; I can see your present. I
can see you whenever I want to, I see everything.” She looked
insane. Her eyes were wide, and she never blinked. Her pale blue
eyes were burning into mine; it was uncomfortable to say the
least.
    “ So…” I began to
question.
    “ I was recruited by the
Alliance when I was only fifteen. They had a very specific
assignment for me, and my powers have been developed to serve that
purpose and that purpose only.”
    “ So what was your
assignment?”
    “ To watch you, the Alliance
isn’t all seeing, but I am. I’ve been hired to catch you, Scarlett
Summers.”
    “ So why are you telling me
all this?” I asked. I wasn’t quite afraid, if her only power was to
watch me, then this was a fight I knew I could win.
    “ I thought it was only fair,
kind of a last request that you didn’t get to choose.” Before she
even finished the sentence, she lunged at me. I ran down the
street, but I couldn’t concentrate enough to go invisible. I
couldn’t concentrate enough to see if Dante’s power would work for
me again, either. I ran around the corner and found a patch of
woods to hide in, but I knew I couldn’t hide. I had just enough
time to concentrate on going invisible, and once I was, I walked
out of the woods.
    She was standing right in
front of me, staring deep into my soul, it seemed. There was no way
she could see me, so I concentrated on not giving myself away. Not
making a sound, not moving the smallest speck of dirt on the
ground. She started laughing, and I looked over
curiously.
    “ Oh, Scarlett, did you not
hear me? I see everything.” She ran towards me at an incredible
speed. I became visible, not on purpose; I had been taken by
surprise, and now I was frightened.
    I ran across the street,
and she followed behind me. It felt like I was running in slow
motion, and she wasn’t far behind me. I heard a car speeding toward
us, reinforcements . They must have been going at least seventy miles per hour,
and I was right; they were coming to help, not her, but me. I felt
a gust of wind as the car sped past me. I heard a loud sound as her
body met the front of the car, I couldn’t believe it, but it was
even louder when she hit the ground. She rolled five feet, leaving
a trail of blood behind her. I stared at her lifeless body, and
when I could finally look away, I knew exactly who had saved
me.
    Dante got out of the car,
looking shaken. He ran over to me and put his arms around me.
Without warning, tears filled up my eyes, and I pressed my face
into his chest. I couldn’t hold back my sobs, but he didn’t care;
he stared ahead at the girl he just killed.
    “ They know—they know we’re
coming,” I mumbled into his chest.
    “ What?”
    “ That girl, she could see my
future; she could see what I was doing at any point in time, and
she was coming for me.”
    “ We need to get out of here;
I’m sure the police will be coming soon.”
    “ You’re right,” I agreed.
“Maybe we should put your car in the garage.”
    When we got back to Grace’s,
she and Rose were already awake. They were getting ready for the
day. I was starting to get really nervous. I pulled Dante
aside.
    “ I don’t know about this,” I
sighed. He waited for me to continue. “I mean, maybe we should find
more people, or find some information that could help us, we need
to be prepared.”
    “ I think you’re right, but
we can’t wait too long.”
    “ We need to tell Rose and
Grace.”
    After I told them, they both took a
deep breath. Then Dante’s phone rang.
    “ Oh, hey Cooper,” Dante said
as he answered. “Okay, we’ll see you guys in a while.”
    “ Dante,” I
whispered. He looked over. “You should ask them if they can pick up
Allison on the way, actually…” I said as I stopped to
think, Annabelle . We should have her come, too, the only problem—I didn’t
know her number.
    “ Do you think you could pick
someone up on the way?” Dante asked.
