Winter hated this feeling. The feeling that you were going slowly insane. Perhaps she [i]did[/i] imagine the events of the dance. Perhaps she imagined the wolves, the powers, the dark figure that set fire to the gym. The others seemed keen on painting her as the crazy one. Even Mr. Lehrer wasn't impressed.

However, one such person beckoned her over. Belle. She hardly talked to the girl, but that wasn't because Winter didn't like her. They just didn't run in similar circles. Instead, she pulled her over to the side and calmed her down. It was a sweet thing for her to do and Winter felt instantly better. The stress of everything had gotten to her, she would have to apologize to the others later.

However, Belle mentioned something that got Winter's attention. Genetic experiments? What was that about? So...she wasn't crazy? They really did have powers? It sounded nuts, but it was the truth. They had powers that were unexplainable and Mr. Lehrer knew. She also remembered her own instance where she did something unexpected. Seeing Sebastian as a young boy. Was that a vision? Was it a premonition? Was it a memory? She didn't know the answers, but something spoke to her. Something told her that this trip was going to set events in motion. Perhaps Belle would know.

[color=CF748B]"I don't know how else to explain this, but I think I can see other people's memories. Or something along that line. I remember at the dance seeing Sebastian as a younger kid. It happened after I touched him. I also remember the dance despite everyone else forgetting. I don't know what to do, but I won't sit on it for much longer. If Mr. Lehrer doesn't explain soon I am going to someone else."[/color] Winter kenw the weight of her words. She may be branded a crazy person, but someone would believe her.

Belle, seemed to be interested in helping her. She knew more about what may be going on. Winter decided to try something.

[color=CF748B]"Would you be open to the idea of me trying it again? Seeing if I can see memories? I won't do it if you aren't comfortable with it, but I need some closure. Some understanding that I am not slowly losing my mind. Please?"[/color] The young girl's eyes pleaded with Belle. Hoping she would allow this small favor.
