Jovian soon ran out of the room with Elowyn behind her as they sprinted down the hall towards the room Annika was resting in. They got in and Jovian shut the door firmly and fast behind them locking it. Elowyn at this point definitely thought that Jovian had finally lost it.
“What the heck are you doing Jovian?” Elowyn said.
“I can wake up Annika!” Jovian said heading to the bed but was stopped by Elowyn.
“Jovian, I know you're worried but she just needs rest.” Elowyn said still trying to block Jovian but failed.
“No, I can do this. I reached Romina, If I can do that I can reach Annika! Jovian said, shocking Elowyn.
“You reached Romina? How? Is she okay?” Elowyn said.
“No, she is not fine. She thinks we are all dead basically and she is all bruised and bloody being constantly beaten by a man that is her dad I am guessing.” Jovian said.
Elowyn continued to ask questions but Jovian was already going into the black again where she saw Romina. She tried to think only Annika thoughts like she did with Romina hoping that it would reach Annika. The first few minutes nothing happened and it made Jovian give up till she saw a little light in the darkness. Walking up to it the light got bigger and soon she was in a familiar place she had been before.
“You're so slow Annika!” Romina said, running towards the fruit patch back home.
“I am taking it easy on you! Annika said.
“Excuses, excuses! Romina tessed, soon getting tackled by Annika in the middle of the path of strawberries. Romina grabbed a strawberry from the ground and ate it smiling at Annika as they stood up.
“Took you long enough, where is Jovian?” Romina questioned.
“Here…” Jovian said but got run over by her other self. Jovian thought she had died at that minute. Feeling her past self run through her like she was a ghost and invisible to Romina and Annika.“You guys left me, again!’ Jovian said, punching them both in the stomach playfully. Both Annika and Romina fell on the ground pretending to be hurt making Jovian feel bad.
“I’m so sorry guys I didn’t mean…” But she was cut off by both Annika and Romina’s laughter.
“Ohhh so much pain!” They both teased while laughing.
“So not cool guys I thought I actually hurt you! Jovian said, laughing and pulling them back up to their feet.
Jovian figured that she hadn’t died but that Annika was hiding in her past memories to cover up the guilt and pain she was feeling. That's why she also was not waking up. It wasn't because she couldn’t but that she didn’t want to. Jovian was kinda determined though to wake her up so she tried to figure out how to get Annika to notice her kinda like how Rommina did earlier.
“Annika!” Jovian shouted, running up to the three of them. She tried to figure out a way for Annika to sense she was there.
“Annika, look at me!” She shouted again and that is when it hit her. She had to interfere in the moment everything got crazy during that memory. They brought their bow with them so they could shoot some off the high branches but one missed and about hit Romina’s leg but Annika grabbed it before it could. Probably another reason she was hiding her is because she was able to save Romina. Only way to get her attention was to let the arrow hit Romina no matter how much it would hurt Annika or herself.
“Hit that fruit Jovian!” Annika pointed to an apple in the tree, the exact one that Jovian misses that heads towards Romina.
“Romina watch out!” Annika shouts running towards the arrow but before Annika could reach it Jovian used her power to trip Annika allowing the arrow to hit Romina’s leg.
“NOOO!” Annika shouts seeing the arrow hit.
“Romina hurt but we can help.” Jovian said walking up to Annika as her past self and the memory vanished around them leaving them in the dark room.
“I was supposed to protect her.” Annika is still on the ground so Jovian comes and sits by her, rubbing her back.
“I know, you still can help her. I have a plan but we need you. You have to wake up. Jovian said.
“I can’t.” Annika said
“You can Annika, she needs you, we all do. You're the strongest person we know.” Jovian said, standing up again and reaching her hand out for Annika.
“Fine, for you guys and Romina.” Annika said, grabbing her hand.
“Do you know how to get us out? you have some explaining to do. Annika gestured to all the stuff around them.
“First working on it second yeah I know.” Jovian said, thinking of a way out.
“Do you have a plan?” Annika asks
“I think I do, I will explain it later now isn't the time.” Jovian said constreating on home and Elowyn. Then the blackness started to light up with a flash of light and before they could even blink they were both back home and awake.
“You guys are both back and okay!” Elowyn said, pulling them into a big hug.
“Owww.” Annika said, making Elowyn jump off in a hurry.
“Sorry…: Elowyn said quietly, putting her head down. Annika laughed and smiled, pulling her head back up.
“It is okay, I missed you guys too. Just still pretty sore that’s all.” Annika said, making Elowyn smile once again.
“Elowyn it’s time to start our plan!” Jovian said, flying off the bed in a hurry and turning fast to look at the other two. They looked at each other fast then back up to Jovian.
“Okay Jovian shoot! Tell me what you got!” Annika said sitting up a little more in bed to show she was all ears.
