Rose had been simply waiting for the nightmare to end at that point, but when Will spoke to her, she realized that she was actually there. Was she actually doing this? "I... I can't!" she cried to Will. She wasn't doing this. She couldn't be. She was completely not in control. Suddenly, she was somewhere else. It seemed that she was standing on the rubble of a large building. Off to her left she heard something moving. She instinctively walked towards the laughter that she began to hear.

* I am not there child...Everything that is happening is you.* His voice repeated in her head. It really was her fault. Everything was her fault. Next thing she knew she was back on the ship.

"Please stop this child..." Will said as she felt him grab her leg. Suddenly she heard Max's voice call to her from behind.

"ROSE!! STOP!" She had completely given up hope, but if Max (even if it wasn't the real Max) thought that she could do it, then she had to try to fight it. She realized that she was holding the gem. If she was really there and really holding the gem, could she tap into its power and use it to break free?

Rose closed her eyes and began to focus. Even if she couldn't use the gem, she had to fight it. Slowly, she tried forcing herself to lower her arms and back up from the side of the boat. Even if it seemed useless, if Max said she could it, she had to try.
