The Queen of Energy

chapter 1: Push it away

Electra jolted awake, her heart pounding in her chest. The air felt heavy, and a strange uneasiness twisted in her stomach. Something wasn't right.

"Aisha," she whispered urgently, turning to her cousin lying beside her. "Aisha! Wake up!"

Aisha stirred groggily, blinking as she slowly emerged from her dreams. "Electra?" she mumbled, rubbing her eyes. "Is everything alright?"

Electra shook her head, her long brown hair slipping from its braid, cascading into soft waves over her shoulders. "No," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "I think... I think something stole part of my essence last night."

Aisha shot up, suddenly more alert. "What? What do you mean?" she asked, concern creeping into her voice.

"I don't know how to explain it," Electra said, frowning. "But something feels off. Like part of my energy—part of me—is missing. I feel incomplete."

"But you've reached complete Enchantix powers," Aisha reasoned, her brow furrowing. "How could something steal your energy?"

Electra ran her fingers through her hair, feeling the strands slip through her fingertips. "I don't know," she murmured. "But I have to find out. I can't shake this feeling."

Aisha sighed, her hand resting gently on Electra's arm. "Not yet," she said softly. "Look, I know it feels unsettling, but for now... push it away. We'll deal with it after breakfast, okay?"

Electra hesitated, the unease still bubbling beneath the surface. But she trusted Aisha. She always had. Nodding slowly, she took a deep breath. "Alright. After breakfast."

"Good," Aisha said, giving her a reassuring smile. "We'll figure this out together."

Electra exhaled, her muscles relaxing just a little. She stood and began getting dressed, trying to shake the lingering sensation of something—or someone—having stolen a piece of her. But for now, she had to push it away.

With a final glance at Aisha, she headed downstairs, her mind already buzzing with questions she couldn't yet answer.
