THERE'S A GIRL, she must be 17 or 18 years old. She stands before me crying. Something is upsetting her to where she can barely breathe. She looks devastated. A tragic situation must have brought her all this pain. I wonder why she is crying so I walk up to her and try to place my hands on her face, but they don't touch her. My hands just hover over her skin, like she's a ghost, or a memory. She continues to cry and I can't help her, it's killing me. I want to comfort her and take the pain away. I don't understand why I want to help but something draws me to her, to her pain. It feels like I know her from somewhere, yet I have never seen her before.

The girl whispers something, too soft for me to hear but it seems to calm her down. I see that there's something in her hand, a necklace of some sort. It looks like a locket. She opens it up and the pain comes back to her face; her eyes never waiver from the locket as she steadily cries.

She whispers, "Be safe..."
