A green light was glowing in the room, and as instantly as it stopped, three bodies jerked up from the ground, huffing and panting, as they awoke from their limbo slumber.
"Yes, finally, phew". Xadia signed.
"You're okay," a voice could be heard by the three bodies, and a girl of their age rushed from the ground where she knelt, and hugged Tyson rubbing his hair in a bully way. "You almost died, I was worried about you".
"I thought you always said, if you had a chance to kill me, you'd take it". Tyson replied to the girl.
"Now I'm regretting that I saved you,". The girl replied Tyson pouting, making Tyson smirk at her.
"Ellie?!, what are you doing here". Xadia asked the girl.
It was now that Xadia could see, the facial features and similarities between Tyson and Ellie. They both had a blonde hairstyle that stood out perfectly, and one would think they were a couple, but they were kin.
"You're twins!". Xadia exclaimed
"Why didn't you tell me".
"I would have, but we were always distracted, and she's always busy at the infirmary, besides she's the most annoying person in the world," Tyson replied with a funny fed up face.
"You!, take that back". Ellie said going over to Tyson, punching at him continuously.
"Okay okay, you're great". Tyson said sarcastically.
"Ouch". Tyson said putting his hand in his mouth and began sucking at it.
"See, even Daisy doesn't like you". Ellie said as she took Tyson's hand and began to pour green energy into it. "Baby, sucking your hand, you're lucky she didn't inject her venom,".
"How'd you get here". Xadia asked looking at Ellie.
" I can sense him, and his energy, also his emotions," Ellie said smiling with an evil face at Tyson. "It's something Tyson likes to call our twin sense". Ellie said flaunting both her index and middle finger up and down. "I--, no we could do after we became a siphon.
"And I was just telling this idiot this morning not to get into any fight, Miss Celine is onto you, your familiar's energy slows healing, and it gives her a lot of stress, you might get expelled, I don't wanna leave this school because of you". Ellie said with a serious face.
" I didn't wanna get into a fight after you warned me, but four-second years were kicking and hurting me, I had no choice but to fight back, and then a guy from our class showed up and I wasn't in control and we started fighting, I guess he beat me up".
"What happened to him, I think he's a second year, we were right about him the other day," Tyson asked Xadia
"We took care of him, I think he was sent by the Counselor, or maybe Miss Celine, I don't know". But he shouldn't be a problem again, Ivy wiped his memories of fighting with you". "Just stay away from him, and don't use your familiar to fight, it's a jinx".
"You heard that, I told you she's onto you, I don't want to sense you fighting again, or else I'll drain all your energy". Ellie threatened. Tyson didn't say anything cause he knew she could do it.
"Why are we in a circle, and what are these symbols,". Tyson asked having noticed the drawings on the floor.
"That's Ivy's doing". Xadia said pointing backward with his thumb at Ivy who held her knees and bowed her head at the backside of Xadia, facing opposite of them.
"She said you were stuck in limbo, that we needed to get you out, or you'd be stuck in an endless slumber or something, so she drew the circle and the runes, and that's how we entered your mind, then we got separated, it's a long story but we managed to make it back,". "Thanks to your sister I think, the space turned green everywhere, what did you do?".
"When I made my way here, I saw that the circle was glowing, but it was slowly dimming, and as it did he was slowly dying, I could feel it, so I poured my energy into it and you all woke up". Ellie replied.
"At least no one got hurt". Tyson said scratching his head.
"No one got hurt! I was in your mind fighting your familiar, and it was very powerful, not only could I feel its energy, I could feel pain, Ivy got separated from me to who knows where, and I can't imagine what she faced, and you just said no one got hurt". Xadia stated his eyes turning white for a second.
"I'm.., I'm sorry, I didn't know," Tyson said pleading.
"No, I apologize, that wasn't me, it wasn't your fault," Xadia said holding putting his hands on his eyes and massaging them.
"We should go,". Ellie said as she helped Tyson up.
"Thank you for your help, we owe you one". Ellie said with a smile". "Let's go idiot". Ellie said pulling at Tyson's hair. "We are the same age!". Tyson groaned from the pain as they exit the room.
"Ivy, what happened to you, where did it take you". Xadia said turning to face Ivy, but there was no response.
"Ivy?". Xadia called out gently placing his hand on Ivy's shoulders.
"Get out". Ivy whispered
"What?" Xadia asked
"Get out,". Ivy shouted, and the circle on the ground illuminated the room following the frequency of her voice.
"Okay". Xadia meekly said as he alighted from the ground and excited the room.
"I didn't hurt her right, it was Tyson, and she said we should go to the infirmary, now she's angry," Xadia soliloquized as he made his way to the dorm.
"I wonder what she saw in Tyson's limbo". Xadia internally thought.
Meanwhile, in Ivy's room, a crying voice could be heard.
"Mum,.... I love you". Ivy said as she wept.
