After a few hours, Shio's class is done.
"So... what's our plan? Are we going to buy some food or something for Sam tomorrow?" Michelle asked
"Me and My sister are going to The Mall right now. Do you wanna join us?" Shio replied
"Sorry Shio, I need to go home early tonight, it is my Moms birthday," Mikaela said
"Oh yeah, I forgot... I'll just join shio on buying some groceries then I'll stop by at your house okay?" Michelle replies
"No no... I'll take care of the groceries, just... greet her happy birthday for me, and tell her that I'm sorry that I cant come okay?" Shio said
"Are you sure?" Michelle asked with a friendly tone
"Yeah don't worry... just help me to carry the stuff tomorrow ok?" Shio said with a friendly tone
"Yeah! Thanks, Shio" Michelle replied
Michelle and Mikaela left Shio as she waits for her sister. While waiting, Shio starts to search for what happened to sam.
She immediately found a video of a news report about the incident...

Shio suddenly became very curious about the accident. After a few minutes, Karen is done with her class. Both of them went immediately to the mall, before buying burgers Shio and Karen went to the grocery to buy something for Sam.
"We told dad that we are only going to buy burgers right?" Karen said
"Yeah, but I really need to buy something for Sam. Sorry Karen." Shio replied in a friendly tone
"It's fine.. what happen to Sam?" Karen asked
"He was caught in an accident last night, he's currently in the hospital and my friends decided to visit him tomorrow" Shio explained while picking up some fruits
"Ohhhhh.. is he fine?" Karen asked with a worried reaction
"Don't worry, Sam is fine, according to the news he only suffers some minor injuries. It might take him more than a week but he is fine, I guess" Shio explained
"I can't join you to visit Sam tomorrow, can you say hi for me?" Karen said with a worried tone
"Of course... he will appreciate that" Shio said with a friendly tone
After doing the grocery, they immediately went to the Burger Shop and bought some Burgers. After that they went straight home, the road has very heavy traffic that night, and because of that Shio and Karen was stuck at the road for a while.
(Yawning) "I'm tired..." Shio said as she starts to fell asleep
"Take a quick nap, Big Sis. I'm going to wake you up when we are close." Karen replied
"Are you sure?" Shio asked
"Yes! Don't worry" Karen replied in a friendly tone
"Don't spend too much time on your phone ok? You might get dizzy..." Shio said calmly
Shio fell asleep while Karen is playing on her phone.
While shio was sleeping, she starts to see some visions of the accident. For some reason, the visions show some details she doesn't know. She is currently sitting in the middle aisle of the bus in the same she can also see sam sitting on the other side of the bus while staring at the buildings passing by, she can also see less than 15 people on the bus including the driver, kids, students, some man and woman, and a group of middle-aged men and women. As they pass some intersections symbols and figures start popping in and out quickly on her sight, she can't take a good look at these symbols, only a glimpse.
"What...." Shio said as the symbols start to pop in and out quickly
"STOP!" Shio shouted as she put her head down and close her eyes. The symbols suddenly stopped. She opens her eyes and there are no more symbols popping in and out, but as she leans back to her chair she saw Sam looking at her.
"Oh---uhmmm sorry, it's just....." Shio suddenly stopped as she got a glimpse of other people staring at her. She slowly looks at the people on the bus and realizes that everyone is looking at her
"Uhmm I'm really sorry I'm just tired and I see some very weird pieces of stuff....sorry." Shio said loudly but calmly
As she leans back and relaxes, she noticed that everyone who is sitting far from her suddenly stood up, Slowly walking close to her. As they get close, everyone they pass by also starts to stand up and walk closer to her...
"Uhmmm... what are you doing?" Shio asked
Shio stood up immediately as she saw everyone is getting closer to her and there she starts to panic.
"Stop..." Shio calmly said but they didn't stop
She started to panic, her heart started to beat faster, her blood pressure started to rise, and she started to breathe harder as she loses some space because of the people going closer and closer to her...
"Please everyone stop..." Shio said with a sound of frustration but they still didn't stop
She immediately sat down to get herself together but still, she starts to panic more as the people get closer and closer, her sweat starts to drip faster, tears start to fall from her eyes and she is starting to lose herself.
"STOP!" Shio shouted as the bus suddenly lost its control... everyone lost their balance and they all fell in the chair and on the floor of the bus.
Shio immediately noticed that they were getting closer to the Wellington Bridge. She suddenly heard everyone screaming "HELP!" while crying. The bus suddenly went down the hill and everyone screams "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Shio's dream suddenly interrupted by her sister...
"We are close. Are you okay? You are very sweaty" Karen asked with a worried tone
(Deep breathing) "I'm fine.. I'm fine.." Shio calmly replied.
They went down the bus and went home, Shio went straight to the bathroom while Karen fixed the things they bought.
Until now Shio is still very teary-eyed and she is still catching her breath. She immediately washes her face and fixed herself...
"What was that?" Shio said to herself as she looks at the mirror
Shio went outside the bathroom like nothing happened
"HEY! BIG SIS! THE BURGER IS DELICIOUS COME ON HERE! Let's eat while watching" Karen said with excitement
"Okay, wheres the fries?" Shio said as she went to Karen and eat with her.
After spending some of her time, Shio called it a night. Both Shio and Karen went to their beds at 10:00 pm and they didn't wait for their parents to arrive. Karen was able to sleep quickly but Shio wasn't. Shio is afraid to even close her eyes because of the things she saw on her dream. It is already 12:00 am but Shio can't even sleep. A few moments later their parents arrived, their mother notices that the light was still on in Shio's room. She went to Shio's room and saw Shio sitting in her bed.
"Honey, are you alright?" The mother asked
"Yes mom, I'm fine.... it's just----I'm not sleepy yet" Shio replied
"Well, normally when you are not sleeping you are on your laptop watching something. What is wrong?" The mother calmly said
"It's just..... when we are on our way back home, I fell asleep at the bus and I had a nightmare... I thought I'm going to die, I can't breathe or move, I can't move... I can't..." Shio explained while getting a little teary-eyed but her mother interrupted her and gave her a hug
"Its fine Shio... you are safe here, it's fine," The mother said as she hugs Shio.
Shio can't stop herself and starts crying, the father notices them and he immediately went upstairs and check what the crying noises are about..
"Shio? What happen?" The father asked
"It was her phobia john" The mother replied
"Uhmm do you need water or something? You can sleep with us if you want.." The father said with a very concern tone
(Giggles) "Dad, I'm fine..." Shio said as she stops crying
"Are you sure?" The mother asked
"Yes mom, thanks for cheering me up" Shio replied
"Don't worry Shio, I'm going to cook for you tomorrow. I'm not going to let your mom take all the glory" The father said in a cheerful tone
"Steak?" Shio asked
"Yeah, sure..." The father replied
"Rest honey... if you need us we are always here, Okay?" The mother said
"Yes, thank you" Shio replied
Shio's parents left the room as she calms down for a bit. After a few minutes, Shio was able to sleep. The next day The Kaiba family bond in order for shio to move on and forget about what happened, they cook steak and eat lunch together.
"Mom... I forgot to tell you about this last night but my friends decided to visit Sam at the hospital" Shio said
"Oh yeah.. I'm going pack some steak for him" The mother said as she went to the kitchen immediately
"Is your boyfriend really fine? If you want I will cook more steak for him.." The father asked with a taunting tone
"Dad he's not my boyfriend..." Shio answered
"Trust me, she really wanted to but she's a little bit dull" Karen said with a taunty tone
"Karen...." Shio said in a slightly frustrated tone
After a few minutes, Michelle and Mikaela arrived at Shio's house. They talk a little with Shio's parents and left with Shio. While on the road Shio is fixing the things they bought for Sam.
"Hey shio, take a look at your left" Michelle said as she drives slower
Shio immediately looked at her left. She lost her thoughts as she stares at the forest down the hill of The Wellington Bridge...
"That's the place where the bus crash. Though I can't still see that pathway Sam was talking about" Mikaela said as she observes the area
"Well----we will know if his statement is consistent once we get there" Michelle replied
As they pass the area Shio lean back and tried to relax, She started to catch her breath but it didn't last for too long. After a few minutes they arrived at the hospital, the three girls went to find Sam room.
After a few minutes, they eventually found his room and saw him sitting at the chair staring at the window, his room looks comfy with two couch and a good amount of space for the visitors.
"Hey, Sam! We bought you some food.." Michelle said as they enter the area
Sam immediately approach them
"Thank you, well--- actually----you don't have to visit me here, but still thanks for stopping by" Sam replied
They ate the food they bought and they had a fun time. They play video games using the console Sam had and they chat for a few hours.
"So hows your body?" Mikaela asked
"Uhmm, they said that I got a little of injuries on my thighs but it is not that serious, it will prevent me from doing heavy stuff but it will be fine after a few days" Sam explained in a formal way
"Can I ask you something?" Michelle asked as she approaches Sam slowly
"Sure.. what is it?" Sam replied
"Can you tell us what you saw?" Michelle asked with a curious tone
"What----why?" Sam replied
"We just wanted to know... come on, Please?" Michelle said as she persuades Sam on answering her question
"Fine... On our way to the bridge, the bus suddenly lost its control, the driver shouted and ordered us to stay sitted and hold on something cause he really can't control the bus, then suddenly the bus fell down and we crash" Sam explained
"Then what did you see?" Michelle asked
"Nothing..." Sam said in a soft voice
Everyone looked surprised by what he said.
"Really? But I thought..." Michelle said but Sam immediately interrupted her
"Maybe it's just because of my head, you know...." Sam quickly replied
"Oh ok" Michelle said with a disappointed tone
"Hey, it's getting late, I guess its time for us to go home..." Mikaela said
"Ok..." Shio replied
"Take care, Sam..." Michelle said with a cheerful tone
"Uhmm, Can I talk to Shio for a second?" Sam asked as the girls are about to leave
"Ok... update me girl" Mikaela said with a taunty tone
"Mika..." Shio said with a slightly frustrated tone
Mikaela and Michelle left the room.
"Shio... thank you for coming" Sam said with a friendly tone
"You're our friend, and we are worried about you...So yeah.." Shio replied in a slightly shy tone
"To be honest I like you Shio, I really do..." Sam said with a straight tone
Shio was left speechless
"Uhmmm, What?" Shio replied in a slightly flirty tone
"You heard it..." Sam said in a friendly tone
"Uhmmm..." Shio is about to say something but Sam immediately interrupted her
"But be careful.." Sam said in a formal tone
Shio suddenly stop and wonder why Sam said that
"I know what happen, for some reason you went too deep that you are now part of something you can't run away from," Sam said with a soft tone
"What do you mean?" Shio said in a curious tone
"Your dreams..." Sam replied in a straight tone
"What about my dreams?" Shio said as she gets a little bit uncomfortable
"You know what I'm talking about" Sam replied with a friendly tone
Shio was left speechless as she wonders if sam really knows about her dream
"We don't have to talk about it now because I know what will happen if we do, and I don't want you to feel those again" Sam said while worrying about Shio
Sam slowly approach Shio and hold her hand
"Shio, just like I said.. I like you.. and I don't want anything to happen to you" Sam said with a friendly tone, he slowly hug shio as he noticed shio start to look uncomfortable
"No matter what you do you are already a part of it, but I will protect you, I promise" Sam said in a straight tone
Shio is still left speechless, but she suddenly cried because he starts to feel afraid again
"Here, take my number... if something happens... you have to call me as soon as you can, ok? It always has a pattern. A bus, An accident and A trail. But the problem is the location is not always the same... contact me once you feel uneasy for an unknown reason, once you feel unsafe while on the road, or once you feel really uncomfortable... do you understand?" Sam said as he gave his number to Shio
"Okay..." Shio replied with low tone
"Lastly, don't follow the trail to go inside...you are not capable of going inside there, no matter what happens, you call me okay?" Sam said with a worried tone
"Okay,.. but how did you know this" Shio asked with a curious tone
"Because I am also a part of it..." Sam answered
Shio was left speechless...
"You can go now, I'll meet you at the school this Monday---- okay?" Sam said with a friendly tone
"Okay..." Shio calmly said as she left the room
Sam was left alone in the room, he went back on sitting at the chair and he continue staring at the window. While staring at the beautiful sunset Sam is worried and start to feel a little bit frustrated...
"You're not going to take anyone anymore, I swear to God.... I will not let you take anyone again" Sam said as he stares at the window
