Three years later

Mia has been in foster care since that fateful day. She also hadn't heard from the voice that had helped her. Mia was doing a trail to see if the family and she clicked. If they did then they would adopt her. If not, well you can guess what will happen.

It had been a good first day with them but Mia was still really nervous. Especially because she didn't know if she was supposed to do chores this week. "Mia come help with the dishes please." The pleasant voice of a woman called from the kitchen where the potential parents worked to clean up from dinner.

"Yes, Ma'am."

"You don't have to call me ma'am if you don't want. you can call me Cindy, I won't force you to call me mom unless you want to."

"Okay, Ma'am." Mia didn't think it was right to call this person by her name, but she also didn't think it was right to call her mom. So she continued to call her Ma'am.

"Mia do you know how to wash dishes?" The husband asked. Mia shook her head. "Okay, then we can teach you later hopefully." He smiled gently. "Do you know how to dry?"

Mia nodded her head. She went over to the stove where the drying mat was and started to dry. Then when she finished drying an object, she would hand it to the wife who would put it away.

Mia finished drying the last object on the mat and went to take the next object out of the husband's hands. But it slipped and started to fall. As it did so, time seemed to slow. The room grew dark and colors that weren't there before appears.

"I was wondering the next time you would accidentally use your power," a voice said. Mia whirled around to see a boy not much older than she standing there.

"Who are you?"

"I'm hurt you've for forgotten me, " he gasped sarcastically and place his hand over his heart.

It took a moment for it to click but once it did she stuttered out, "You- You're the voice."

He snorted, "How specific, But yeah I'm the voice. So I bet you're wondering why you're here." He gestured around us.

"Yes, yes I am."

"Good, now listen well, because I will not repeat it."

"Hold up so you're telling me. That every living person's mind links together to form a second layer beneath the surface of our world, but rather thank linking our memories it links our negative emotions and we can isolate certain areas to create rooms or environments that we can "control"?!" Mia repeated back a simplified version of what he just said a few moments earlier.

"Yes, that is the basic gist of it. Although that is the basics, there are many more things you can do with this power. Be glad you are the only one who can access this layer," He informed her. The boy also told her how to access this layer.

suddenly the would unfroze, and the object that had slipped crashed into the grounded.
