Chapter Seven: Via Back Again

Via came back and was scared and had no clue what was happening, very disoriented. She almost started screaming. But all of the sudden she seemed fine. I asked her why she was so calm now? Via said "well, I guess this guy Olly, he's telling me all that happened. He's still there, I remember now!" Well what happened. I asked intriguingly. "Well it was just another day of me waiting for death to come, because the doctors at the hospital weren't very good and just gave up on me, or something like that. I was just lying down waiting for the nausea and the spinning to stop. Then I saw this shiny and disoriented orb just hovering in the air. It transformed into this teenage boy with an old school outfit on, Hair dark brown like mud from the bottom of the river, and dark brown eyes almost looking black. He told me his name was Olly and that I needed to trust him once, I agreed and he told me that an evil spirit named Sylvia was out to get you, he said that he was prepared to make a deal, he would cure my cancer if I let him possess me to save you. I gave it a thought and I realized I had nothing to really lose so I agreed knowing that it could end very bad or very good, I was inside somewhere I could see myself but I could also see everything around me, I was still there but I wasn't in control anymore, but I felt powerful still, I felt overcharged. I didn't feel nauseous and for the first time in 6 years I felt energetic, happy and hopeful. I could also see you but Olly couldn't so I helped him find you I was so happy but there was no space to use all of my energy so I sent it to my actual body that Olly was in, I don't know how but I did somehow, and now apparently Olly says he can see all that I saw. Also that dream you had when you got hurt at the hospital, that wasn't a dream Sylvia was seriously out to hurt me and she was threatened by me and Olly. I fought her so she'd stay away from you and Olly." Via showed me the scars on her arms and legs, a big one across her neck too. "Wait so in my dream? You could see me!?" I asked a little confused. "yeah I think but it wasn't really you it was like a black and blue outline of you" Said Via also confused. "That's weird? I have a feeling that Sylvia isn't gone forever... Y'know what I mean right?" asking Via for reassurance. "Yeah kinda, it's like her spirit is lingering around us" Via said nervously. "Yeah, Yeah it does," I said back to Via. There was a period of silence between us but then Via asked something. "Tiff, how did you get that scar on your head?" "Well, it's a long story, wanna hear it?" I asked Via excitingly. " uh, of course!" said Via in anticipation. "Okay, so this story gets kind of sad for a bit, I was so overwhelmed by Sylvia's voice and you being in the middle of this I just thought that it would be better to just kill myself. I drove myself to a cliff with a river at the bottom. I drove right into the river-" I told Via the rest of the story about the black temple. She looked scared, upset and impressed. I was sure that Via would have plenty of questions but she really only had one. "Tiffany, you were gonna kill yourself? Are you okay now, you're happy right?" Said Via concerningly. "I wouldn't say happy, I'd say healing. Like I said in the story the reason I didn't kill myself was because of you, I couldn't leave you, I love you too much." I told Via. Via looked a lot happier once I told her that. I hugged Via so tightly while we were hugging she said something I won't ever forget. "I love you Tiff, you're my best friend, my sister, my twin. I can't make it in this world without you" We both started to cry a little, when we stopped hugging Via looked at me a little scared. "Uhm, Tiff, y-your head there's nothing there now!?" I realized I could also now move my arm and my head felt fine and when I put my hand on my forehead where the cut was I didn't feel blood or a dent or anything. I took out my phone and put on selfie mode, Via was right, there was nothing there... "Via, you know what that means? I think you have the power to heal people..?" I told Via cautionaly. "No, there's no way? Wait I-i mean maybe? Well it has to be true, you had that cut before we hugged but not after." Via seemed very panicked. "Wait, let me hug myself if I really do have healing powers, my cuts, and bruises will go away," said Via, still panicked. Via held her right arm for 30 seconds when she lifted her arm, her arm was healed. "What the Hell!? It worked?! Tiff I am seriously freaking out!" Said Via was more panicked than I've ever seen her. "Via calm down, this isn't a bad thing, you have healing powers! Maybe even more powers!" I said too Via excitingly. "Okay maybe you're right, this is a good thing, I can help people, maybe I can fly, or turn invisible or shoot fire from my hands-" said Via, very excited. "Woah Via, don't get ahead of yourself, you may have magical powers but you don't have all of them." I said to via trying to calm her down. "Yeah you're right, I guess." Said Via sounding slightly disappointed. Via started healing all of her bruises and cuts. I was in so much shock, I was also a little jealous. I mean I'm the one that had voices in my head for 7 years and she gets magical powers? But I also couldn't help but feel happy for Via, it was so confusing. I didn't know how to feel about all this. I was pacing around the room and looked back at Via to see her all healed, it was so weird she didn't look weak at all anymore she looked strong and confident. I told her that I think it gave her more confidence hearing that from her twin. Me and Via talked for hours until we both fell asleep excited for our next adventure, as I said Sylvia was lingering I had a feeling we'd come face to face with her again and those horrible VOICES would return to my head.
