It felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders as I left the room a few hours ago. So can someone please explain to me why in the hell this is taking do long. No matter how little or big the amount of mana I use is it won't work. I laid there in the nothingness. I had made my way back into the pit of darkness after finally figuring out a way to get out and now look where I am.

My body was starting to collapse randomly as I continued to try and get the correct wave length. My bones felt as if they would shatter if someone laid even a finger on me. The only thing keeping me sane was the random bursts of energy creating a light show around my strained and tired body.

I tried moving however my body just laid there ignoring my every command. I started to randomly release mana as I sat there, everything out of my control.

My head started to spiral, spinning around in circles. The ground beneath me started to feel thinner and less thick as time went on.

Like glass shattering the real world started to appear around me, back in the cave. I was bracing myself for impact as I couldn't move a muscle. A flash of black came soaring towards me.

My body was picked up bridal style by the mysterious figure. I noticed five white stars with colorful dots in the middle on the persons outfit. Their smell was familiar almost like, peaches, roses, and acrylic paint.

I noticed Prince Dearlin coming near us as the figure backed away. Soon others came in wearing the same outfit that I believe was their uniforms. They all blocked Dearlin off as we made our way out of the cave. Not a single word was exchanged between the figures. The only thing you could hear was the Prince's cries and screams of agony.

We had made it back out into the starry night sky. I noticed Evelyn and Melora along with the rest of my family safe, including Elysia. There were multiple guards and policemen surrounding the cave in a ready stance.

I tapped the figures shoulder indicating them to let me down. Once I stood they were only a couple inches taller than me from their full height. I'd say they were about Orion's height they had the same stature.

"Thank you very much," They just nodded at my thanks as they went back inside the deep cavern in the Earth.

"Elysia!" I shouted as I tried to make my way over to her and everyone else. As I started to run my legs buckled beneath me as I sat there helpless.

Elysia made her way over to me, dad closely following behind. Elysia hugged me. I felt my eyes start to sting as tears soon fell out. "I'm so glad you're safe," I held Elysia tight almost afraid to let go.

Once both me and Elysia released each other from the hug, me holding on for a little longer than her. I noticed that the people that I had seen earlier in the cave exiting.

I tried to stand again, however just like before my knees buckled once again as I stood. Dad picked me up, giving me a piggy back ride.

We walked back home. Melora and Evelyn went their own ways back to theirs. It now was 10:07 p.m.

Dad brought me back to my room lying me down on my fluffy bed. Mom soon came in following shortly after. "Lucille, sweety, just a warning you may be sick in the morning. You exerted your body way too much honey." Mom put my head in her lap gently scratching my head and playing with my hair.

I stayed silent, I was too exhausted to even make a noise. I was soon starting to feel drowsy again. I wasn't even changed out of my clothes. Little did I know I would be facing hell in the morning.

My entire body felt sticky with sweat as soon as I opened my eyes. I groaned as I tried to sit up for the 6th time. I had finally done it but soon the effects kicked in and my body started to ache even more, on top of my raging headache.

I heard the front door open as there was an exchange of greetings from downstairs. I heard shoes clacking on the steps as they went up the stairs. There was an unfamiliar knock at my door, "Come in."

"Hello Lucille, I am Dr.Berlin. Now I have been informed about you and your families situation so there's no need to worry about that."

"Alright," I presume he is here because of my current state. Dr.Berlin started to take out medical supplies and medicine out of a bag that he carried by his side. Some were familiar much like the ones in my previous life, meanwhile others were somewhat foreign. None of them were really apparent from the original Lucille's memories.

He started to come towards me with a weird version of a blood pressure arm band with a needle. "Alright so we're going to use this to measure your mana levels, and stability." I nodded my head as he spoke, explaining the process and use of the tool.

I felt the needle prick my arm as he recorded the numbers that appeared on the band. He ruffled my sweaty hair, "You have great power that's for sure, I'm sure you'll be able to become a wonderful magic user in the future."

"Thank you," I simply replied.

The check up went on for about another half hour as we started to finish up, him looking at his notes near the end.

"Now I'm gonna give you some medicine. You should take these about twice a day. In about 3 days you should be fine, but I advise you to not put stress on your body or any form of strain on it within the next week, alright?"

"Alright," I then took the two bottles he handed me. One was filled with liquid and the other pills. He soon left after telling me how much dosage I should take of each.

A few minutes later, Aluxio came in with waffles and eggs. We sat there talking as I ate swallowing both the pills and the liquid with it.

It was about noon, I was eating tomato soup made by mom. Along with a sandwich made by dad.

The wind blew into my room from my open window, letting the sun in as it reflected off of all the shiny objects in my room. It looked almost magical, but that is if I wasn't dying. I mean I literally feel like I'm dying right now.

I heard another knock on my door for the 7th time today, "Come in."

I noticed Evelyn and Melora behind a person, that person was none other than Alibis. I glared at him. He simply kneeled down by my side. "Lucille, I am incredibly sorry for what I have done. I have done something unacceptable that should not be forgiven. I have no idea what came over me to do those horrendous actions I had been dazed the entire time. However that is no excuse, I should have controlled myself and done what was right but instead I chose another course of action that hurt you, your sister, family and a lot of other people. I hope however that we can still be friends in the future. But I understand if you want nothing to do with me from now on." Alibis had finally finished after his long speech.

I sighed, "Alibis, I will continue to be your friend. However my trust and forgiveness is something that you will have to earn over time. Thank you for admitting what you did and genuinely telling me that you have done something wrong, that is a wonderful trait to have."

I felt my body crushed by a hug, Alibis shed tears as he thanked me over and over again. Evelyn the started to speak as she cleared he throat. "We are still investigating what happened, something just doesn't feel right about the whole situation." I met eyes with her in thanks.

We all sat there as we shared tea and talked. Alibis coddled me the entire time. "Oh I have a gift for you," Alibis shouted as he brought out a basket.

It was lightly cover by a light yellow blanket. I lifted it up as a white ball of fluff jumped out of it. I looked down at my lap where it had landed, "Oh my god, it's a cute little kitten!" I shouted.

It had a bow wrapped around its neck which was a light yellow silk. There was also a bunch of books, flowers, and letters in the basket.

I leaned over to hug Alibis the kitten still in my lap, "Thank you." He smiled back.

We started to play card games, me winning most of the time because of my wonderful strategies. I giggled as Alibis yelled "Seriously," for the 10th time because he lost once again.

We messed around for a few more hours, soon they all left, going home for the day. Cytherea soon came in a short while after. She hugged me, "You know you were all worried about everyone else when we all were worried about you."

"I'm sorry,"

"Don't be Lucille, it makes you, well you." She paused as she looked at the kitten in my lap, "So what're you going to name him."

I paused, "Uh his name is," I passed for another minute this time panicked, "I haven't came up with a name yet." I cried out in agony.

"You haven't what!" Cytherea screamed.

"Hey you don't have to be so loud."

Cytherea, Aluxio, and Elysia sat around me. "Listen guys it's not a big deal."

"Lucille I expected much better from you, this is a huge deal." Aluxio stated in a disappointed tone. I felt guilt creeping up on me. There was silence through out the entire room. Everyone was thinking of something for us to name him.

I looked over at the white ball of fluff laying in the sun... "Sorin, we can name him Sorin it means Sun."

Aluxio patted my back, "Good job." I giggled at his antics.

Eventually I was left in my room with just Sorin to keep me company. He crawled on my lap and started to rub himself against me. "Such a pretty Kitty, yes you are." I cooed as he started to roll over. Sunflowers started to appear around him as he played around. "Your just like me little Sorin," he stood proudly as flowers fell on top of his head.

I noticed Sorin hop around my folded clothes that I had worn the previous night. He messed around a bit nuzzling around in my clothing till he pulled an object out from in between my pants. He jumped over to me gracefully, he then dropped the object on my lap.

I looked down , it was my phone. I nearly cried out in joy. It was still at full battery just like it had previously been. I would've danced around if I could've. "Such a good Sorin yes you are, yes you are," Sorin accepted my praise as I scratched behind his ear. He purred as I did so.

I soon opened my phone typing in my password which was my birthday. I checked the cell service.. none absolutely none. I sighed although despite this it was still pretty useful. I tucked it into my side table right by me.
