Free Rewind (Vanish Book Three) by Sonny Daise

you want them to forget that, too.”
    “ I can’t believe she told
you that.”
    “ Well I had a knife to her
throat.”
    Just as he said that, a
nurse came in. She looked shocked. I knew she heard, but she acted
as if she didn’t. I reached out for her hand, and she let me grab
it.
    “ What did I come in here
for?” she said to herself. I smiled, and Dante smiled back. “Do you
need anything?” She finally said, sounding frustrated.
    “ Can you come back in a
minute?” I asked.
    “ Sure,” she said as she
started walking to the door.
    “ Could you take me
somewhere?” I asked Dante.
    “ I don’t think that’s a good
idea, you’re in really bad shape, Scarlett.”
    “ I know, I know. I need to
keep the plan going, and I can’t if I have stitches on the back of
my neck and head.”
    “ So where exactly do you
want me to take you?” He asked, confused.
    “ Back to George’s, Cooper
can heal people—well, I hope he can.” I said, unsure of whether or
not that too could have changed.
    “ Alright, fine.”
    The nurse walked back in and came to my
side.
    “ What did you need?” she
asked.
    “ Come here.”
    When she came closer, I
grabbed her hand. We were never
here.
    Still holding her hand, I
grabbed Dante’s. As the blue and green swirls began, I let go of
her. Less than a second later, we were gone.
    It was late, but I needed to see
Cooper. I decided to skip the part where we had to beg George to
come in and headed straight for Cooper’s window. I knocked and soon
a light turned on.
    “ Who are you?” he asked as
he opened the window.
    “ Scarlett, I knew you, but
you wouldn’t remember. I need your help.”
    He reluctantly agreed to come outside.
I knew I could tell Cooper everything, and he would at least try to
believe. He listened intently.
    “ So you’re saying you’re
planning to take on the Alliance?”
    “ Yes, but I can’t do that
unless you help me.”
    “ You want me to help you
take on the Alliance?” he said, I was about to correct him, and
tell him what I actually needed, but he started talking again.
“Yes.”
    “ Yes?”
    “ I’ll do it; I’ll help
you.”
    “ Great, but what I was going
to ask,” I said as I lifted up my hair. “Could you heal
me?”
    “ Sure, no problem,” he said
as he moved closer—too close.
    It felt like old times; I felt like I
was going to puke. I didn’t want to make the same mistakes I made
last time, now I knew Cooper was my cousin, and even though I
wanted my identity to remain secret, I needed to tell
him.
    “ I left something out of my
story,” I said. “Can you keep a secret?”
    “ Sure,” he replied. I could
tell he was telling the truth.
    “ Promise?” I asked
seriously. He nodded. “I’m your cousin; your aunt Violet is my
mom.”
    “ Wow,” he said, he sounded a
little embarrassed, but I knew it would be better to tell him now
rather than later.
    “ You can’t tell,” I reminded
him.
    “ I know.”
    “ And there’s a girl, she’s
seen you in her head. She can see the future, like I can, but only
one moment at a time. She’s seen you two together; I think you
should meet her.”
    “ First let’s heal you.” He
said as he brought his hands up to my neck and then up to the top
of my head. You couldn’t tell because of my red hair, but it was
stained with blood, and I needed a shower badly.
    The pain vanished with the wounds, and
soon I knew there was nothing left but the sticky blood lingering
in my hair.
    “ Okay, so we need you to
come back with us, but we teleported here, and I don’t think we
would be able to take you with us that way,” I
explained.
    “ Give me the directions and
I’ll drive, I should probably wait to tell my dad too, I don’t
think he’s in any shape to help; neither is my mom, but my
sister—“
    “ Lily,” I smiled.
    “ Yes, Lily, she would
probably love to help.”
    “ As long as it’s okay with
your parents,” I agreed.
    He found a map, and we tried to give
him
