Kisha's Perspective-

"GRIAN!" I shouted.

Grian yelped.

"Kisha? What? Who- "

"I'm not the Kisha from here, if there even is one. I'm from our home. I've become an undercover Watcher."

"What?!"

"JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU LIVE!!"

"THE SAME PLACE I DO AT HOME!"

I started running and Grian started asking me questions.

"I'll explain when I'm there, just come up with a good lie to let me into your home and get past your parents!" I shouted.

I hung up, not needing distractions.

As I ran, I passed a park.

I heard a laugh, and I froze.

I looked to my left and saw someone who looked...exactly like me.

I realized that it was me. The me from here.

I quickly continued running, hoping that she didn't see me.

But she did.

I felt myself start to glitch and I hoped I wasn't running out of time.

As I ran, I didn't notice the flashing on my neck, and I wish I did.

-

"Kisha! Come in, quick!" Grian said, taking my arm and dragging me upstairs.

"What? Where are your parents?"

"They're talking in their bedroom about...me I think, but whatever come on."

Grian dragged me to his room, and I looked over to the room right across from his.

"What about Pearl?"

"She's...not here."

"Oh..."

"Why is the eye on your neck flashing? I didn't know they could do that."

I sprang up.

"It is? Holy sugar we're running out of time."

I started to pace around, tapping my tattoo twice.

"Leo." I said.

Grian tilted his head and watched as I silently begged.

Just then, a portal appeared.

"Great, let's get out." I said, grabbing Grian's arm.

"Wait, what?"

"Do you want to leave or not?!"

Grian shut up and walked through the portal.

I then heard someone scream and looked to my left to see Leo getting killed.

The main Watcher shook his head.

"Not impressed, Kisha. This could've been your new family. We're much more supportive than your actual family."

"That may be true, but I would much rather live with them than with you."

The other Watchers who were around looked shocked at what I had said.

The main Watcher narrowed his eyes.

"Really? Is that the truth?"

"Yes." I said, not sure what he was getting at.

"But isn't that also what you said to your older sister just the other day?"

My eyes widened as he started to play my memories around everyone.

All of my memories where I was shouted at and neglected.

"Look how many of these memories you have! Don't you have any good ones?"

I looked down and Grian shouted,

"Of course, she does! She's almost always happy whenever she's around her friends."

"Is that true, Kisha?" The main Watcher asked, snapping again so another memory appeared.

"No! Don't play that one." I begged but the main Watcher just smirked.

I sighed and watched as Grian heard me thinking about how Mumbo ditched me to be with his boyfriends.

"It's just about Grian?" Grian repeated.

He looked at me, shocked.

The main Watcher laughed, "Oh that's priceless! Your faces were great!"

"Now, let's send you back to that dimension, hm Grian?"

Grian looked up and sighed, "Yeah, sure, whatever."

The main Watcher smiled and snapped.

Someone else then shouted, "NO!"

There was another snap and another portal appeared, which looked to be leading us home.

The main Watcher looked around and rolled his eyes.

"Really Kai? What are you doing?"

"You killed Rick and Leo. I won't let you kill anyone else."

"Really? Well too bad." The main Watcher snapped and Kai died.

The portal started to disappear, and I pushed Grian through.

"WAIT! KISHA!" Grian shouted, reaching out to grab my arm and pull me through.

I just watched the portal disappear though.

I didn't move to get home.

"KISHA!"

I smiled and waved goodbye to Grian as he disappeared.

Most other Watchers were now shouting at the main Watcher.

"Wow Kisha, you're soooo strong." The main Watcher mocked.

"She's stronger than you, you bitch!" One Watcher shouted.

"Are we really going to have to lose this many members?"

The main Watcher snapped, and that girl died.

"Now, Kisha, I will give you a choice. You can either stay a Watcher and go to different dimensions to get recruits or die."

I froze, thinking.

"What do you want? Come on, spit it out. Your life or death?"

I then looked up at him and nodded.

"I know exactly what I want."

He smiled sickly and I took a deep breath.

You got this, Kisha. And I'm sorry, Mumbo.
