《DEAD IN BED By Bailey Simms: The Complete First Book》PART 1, SECTION 6

"Who says I can't have a beer?" Ian winked at me. "It's fair time. I'll nurse one for a little while." He nudged Shawn's arm. "Just don't tell Danielle."
I was pretty sure Ian really wouldn't have any more than one drink. I don't think I know anyone who's more responsible. Besides, if he did, my sister would find out one way or another and kill him.
I was about to ask whether he was taking Haley, his youngest, to the carnival tonight, but that's when Ian's phone rang.
The gruff, semi-garbled voice on the speakerphone must have been a hospital dispatcher, but I couldn't make out who it was. "Ian, you there at the school?" the voice asked.
"Just left," Ian said.
"I guess someone had a fall in the girl's locker room, or something. Probably nothing, but could you check it out? Ambulance is still stuck here at the hospital."
Ian switched off the speaker and brought the phone to his ear. "Yeah, I'll be there in a couple minutes."
He hung up.
"You don't mind if we make a little detour, do you? It's probably nothing, but I gotta check it out."
"That's alright," I said.
But in truth I was feeling selfish and a little disappointed that Ian couldn't just drop us at the fairgrounds. What kind of town only had one ambulance? I guess Ian's SUV was the sole backup.
Ian pulled right up to the door of the girl's locker room. The second half of the football game had already started. I could hear the hum of the crowd over at the field, but the gym was deserted. Shawn stepped from the pickup, but in an old high-school habit he was hesitant about going into the girls' locker room, which I thought was kind of sadly funny, as if he were still just a kid.

Ian was in a hurry. "Come on in, if you want," he told us. "We're a little understaffed." He laughed. "Maybe you could give me a hand, if I need it."
I hadn't stepped into the locker room for years. Bernice Whipple, my old P.E. teacher, was even there. It was like she lived there.
"Hey, Mrs. Whipple." I gave her my best version of a friendly wave. But she didn't even register my presence.
She was distraught, expressionless. She went right for Ian. She grabbed his jacket, then she led him toward the showers.

There are many worlds in the cosmos. Many of them have rules and laws that are utterly alien to the world that we know. Most never leave the world they were born into, never even know or suspect that other worlds even exist. Their souls simply go through the cycle of reincarnation again and again, always forgetting their past lives, and living as they please. But some few are given the gift of Transfering after death, to live their next life in a different world, with memories of their past lives to enrich the world they go to with new concepts and new ideas, and bringing back those same from the world they visited when it is time for their next cycle in their old world. A young woman suffers a tragic fate, and is granted the ability to Transfer. She is reincarnated into a new world, full of monsters and magic, things that would be mere myths and legends to her in her old life. This time, she promises, will be different. She doesn't have to be weak here. She doesn't have to be a victim. She can be strong, and no one will ever control her again!
8 192Hate me [Finished]
"Направих нещо ужасно само защото мразя майка и. А тя?! Тя е единственото момиче, което някога ще обичам. Но...това, което направих е непростимо." Мислех си за това, когато тя ме прегърна в гръб. Усетих ръцете й да стискат кръста ми. Тя подпря главата си на рамото ми. Плачеше. Тогава чух две думи,които ме стъписаха: -Обичам те! Погледнах я. Целунах я по челото и си тръгнах.Корица:sadreamer
