ELLA IV
The day after Felix wakes up, I take Felix to Theo. I see Felix move his mouth but no sound comes out. He stands there for a minute, then turn to me. He stands there and has this awestruck look in his face.
“He’s..He’s awake! He can’t move. But he can breathe and hear and watch!” He stops for a minute. Felix seems to be in deep concentration. Then his face looks sad. “And some days he has these visions. All he could hear is bloodcurdling screams. Those are the days he can’t hear or see us.” I feel depressed. Oh if he is awake, why can’t he move? Oh why? Oh oh why?
“I could take you into his mind,” Felix says.
“Into his mind? How can you possibly do that?” I question. I thought about Bridget’s powers. What does Simon have? Isis has the color thing. I mean she can turn anything any color.
“My mind work in strange ways. I don’t know how, but once I woke up, I could hear voices without people saying things. I just went with it,” he confessed. I honestly thought if I should say my power. I can literally think about something and it appears, and I can change into any animal. So I could fly of this ship if I wanted to. But I really, really wanted to wake Theo up.
I turn to Felix and requested, “Okay, take me into Theo’s mind.” I felt my eyesight go dark and I woke up in a dark place. A large figure was standing in the middle of the room. There was a bright red hair girl chained to the side, and a boy that is knocked out hanging in between two very large titans. A thought trained over me, that’s Simon, and Bridget! A voice started to cry. Ella! Felix! Ella! Help! Help! Help meee… The voice trailed away. We suddenly were back to our world.
“W-w-What happened?” I stammered out. That scene creeped me out. We were interrupted. Theo started to convulse. White foam started to creep out of his mouth.
“I can’t feel his mind! I’m losing him!” Felix screamed. I started to cry.
“Stay with us Theo. Theo! Theo!” I cried. There was a loud BEEP BEEP. I saw that there was a screen and there was lines. The one that was flat said Heartbeat. I cried. Theo was gone. Felix disappeared. The next moment he reappeared with Jack and Isis. Jack saw me crying, and Theo’s limp body. He ran to Theo and started to cry.
“No no non non non non non. Reste avec moi mon pote! Theo! NON! You cannot be dead!” Jack howled at Theo’s body. They were brothers. French twin brothers. Jack stared at his body and collapsed. Isis had to pull him away. I sat by his side for I don’t know how long. Finally one day, Felix came and led me to my room. I sat on the bed for ages. I didn’t eat or sleep. I finally realized I had to face the world. I dragged myself out of the bed. I slowly clambered to the shower. And stood there. Until I pulled myself out. I slowly walked to my closet and looked what was in there. I pulled on a shirt and a pair of pants, along with a pair of socks.
I shuffled down the hall to the mess hall. Everybody was there, eating breakfast. I slowly walked in. Nobody noticed me. I trudged to the buffet. There was eggs, sausage, bacon, fruits, fresh to make omelets, pancakes and waffles. I grabbed at least one of everything. I walked to the empty space at the table and plopped down. I was sitting there, chewing a bite of eggs, when something strange happened.
A large flash of light appeared, but nobody else seemed to noticed this. A large bird appeared and beckoned me forward. I followed. It led me to the deck. It motioned to a hatch. I looked at the hatch and the bird beckoned me to open it. I kneeled before it and pulled it opened. There was a ladder and a flashlight. I grabbed the flashlight and started to climb down the ladder. The bird of light had disappeared. When I finally had reached the bottom, I fumbled for a light switch. Then when I couldn’t find one, I searched for a chain, then a candle. I stumbled into a table, and there was a candle with a box of matches. I took the match and lit the candle. I could see the room much better. I looked, and it was a huge library. I started to scurry around. In one area, there was a large fluffy rug, a L shaped couch, with many pillows all cooped up in a corner.
I ran over to them, sat the candle down, and jumped into the pile of pillows. They exploded everywhere. I let out a sigh. Something I haven’t done for ages. I laughed. I laughed so hard that I cried. Tears of joy. Not of sadness. I suddenly stopped. I wish Theo was here. Or Felix. I could go get Felix. I dismissed the thought. Then I decided to get Felix. I forgot to grab the candle when I walked to the ladder. The room was still a bright as ever.
