Free Rewind (Vanish Book Three) by Sonny Daise Page A

the best directions to Grace’s house. Dante gave him his
cell-phone number and Cooper said he would call in the morning.
Once Cooper was back inside, we left.
     
    When we got back to Grace’s,
Rose was awake. She and Grace were sitting on the couch waiting for
us to return.
    “ What happened to you guys?”
Grace demanded. “I was worried.”
    “ We’re fine,” I assured her.
“We found a few friends to help us.” I looked over at Dante, “I
don’t think it would be a horrible idea to get Allison’s help
either, though if there’s a fight, we might want to keep her
away.”
    “ Okay,” he said. “I think
you should get some sleep.”
    “ Yeah, that’s not a bad
idea,” I agreed.
    “ I’ll see you guys in the
morning,” Grace said as she walked to her room.
    “ Can I talk to you for a
minute?” Rose asked.
    “ Yeah, let’s go to the guest
room, you can stay there tonight.”
    We went upstairs to the guest room and
sat down on the bed. Rose stalled for a few minutes; she didn’t
know what to say. I could tell something was bothering
her.
    “ I’m sorry I didn’t listen
to you before. It’s kind of hard to shrug off whatever you said
now, it’s pretty obvious that something’s up.”
    “ You mean me and Dante just
appearing?” I wondered.
    “ That and everything else.
Aside from you going missing, it was just a normal Saturday
afternoon when Mom dragged me out to the car and drove me to that
awful place.”
    “ Has anything weird happened
to you, something you were too afraid to tell anyone?”
    “ I’ve had strange dreams,
dreams where I could go—” She stopped and looked down.
    “ In the future, or in the
past… when did you have these dreams?” I demanded.
    “ Ever since you started
acting weird. I just figured that was why, but watch.” She closed
her eyes, and she was gone.
    “ Rose,” I said after a
minute of waiting for her to return. Nothing happened.
    I waited for another five
minutes, then, I started getting worried.
    I ran back downstairs Grace was already
in bed; I went over to Dante.
    “ Rose is gone,” I
cried.
    “ Where did she go?” he
asked.
    “ I don’t know. She was
talking about her dreams. She remembered going into the past, then
she just disappeared. I don’t know—“
    “ Okay, calm down. I’m sure
she knows what she’s doing. Maybe she got sidetracked, or maybe she
went to go see something. Maybe she found some sort of clue that
will help us. It could be anything; you just need to be
patient.”
    “ Okay,” I took a deep
breath. “You’re right.”
    I wanted to cuddle up next to him,
something major would happen tomorrow and that was the only thing
that would help me feel better. We were friends; the most he would
be able to do to help is talk to me, but I didn’t want to talk.
Talking about it would probably make me more nervous.
    There was a crashing sound
upstairs. Dante looked over at me, and I glanced back before I
jumped up and ran up the stairs. When I reached the guest room,
Rose was standing there with a broken lamp.
    “ What happened?” Dante asked
before I could find the words.
    “ I came back, but before I
could see where I was, I knocked over the lamp; that’s
all.”
    “ Get some sleep,” I sighed
with relief. “And clean that up.”
    Dante and I helped pick up
the pieces of glass. Once the floor was clean, we went back
downstairs.
    “ So, what are you planning
to do tomorrow?”
    “ I think there’s something I
need to take care of tonight,” I sighed.
    “ No, you need to get some
sleep. It can wait.”
    “ No it can’t.”
    “ Well, I don’t know where
you need to go, but I’m not taking you until tomorrow.”
    I closed my eyes, and
imagined the house. I imagined Ann sitting there, feeling satisfied
with herself. I knew she had a plan. I knew she wouldn’t give her
powers away and then explain how they were used because she was
scared for her life. She had another plan, but when I’m through
with her, she
