Fireworks Explode In My Mind

Hey y'all! So I'm not sure if this is the last chapter or not but if so, fear not, there will be one more story after this :) a novella called UnTouchable which deals with a certain English girl and her time when she was 'dead'. Anywho, enjoy this chapter :)

Chapter 39: Fireworks Explode In My Mind

Bryn

For a few brief seconds after she woke up, Bryn thought she was in Elysium again because waking up in Luke's arms, being surrounded by her friends and family, it seemed too perfect. Never in her life had she felt so... peaceful.

"Sleeping beauty awakens," Bradley remarked.

"Now if only her prince would," Brady said.

"We've been poking him for about ten minutes."

"Waiting to see how long it'll take him to wake up."

"And when poking didn't work, we tried zapping him."

"But he just slept through that."

"You've made him immune to zapping."

"Makes me wonder if you two have slept together before and he's just used to you zapping him."

"I'd say we haven't, but I'd be lying. We have a couple times, but it was purely platonic. Although I don't think I ever zapped him while sleeping. Pretty sure he would've told me."

"He deserves to be zapped for sleeping with you when you two weren't dating," Bradley added.

"You're terrible for not zapping him," Brady said.

"You're terrible," Hallie commented, glaring at the twins as she held a cup of coffee in her hands. It must've been morning because Bryn knew her friend was not a morning person, much like herself.

"Let me try waking him up," Bryn suggested. She turned to Luke and whispered his name in his ear.

"Hi," he murmured.

"I suggest that if you don't want to be zapped anymore by my brothers, you wake up," she laughed.

Luke opened his eyes, giving the twins a deadpan stare. "I was wondering what that was."

Bradley and Brady had their eyes squinted in confusion.

"How on earth-" Bradley began.

"-did you wake up to a whisper by her-" Brady added.

"-but not to zapping-"

"-and poking?"

"I felt it, I was just ignoring it. I'm good at that. Are we almost home?" he inquired. "And where's Silena and Derek?"

"Should be home in an hour and a half. Silena and Derek are making breakfast for us. I suggest you two go get ready. Brady is going to get all our stuff packed and I'm going to escort Hallie back to her room before she kills everyone in this room. Come on love, let's get you back to bed," Bradley said, standing up and holding out his hand. Hallie took it. She and the twins left.

"I should go take a shower," Bryn murmured, closing her eyes again. She didn't want to leave but she needed another shower. Even though she'd cleaned herself extremely well after being in Tartarus and dead for a couple days, Bryn still felt she needed to wash away the essence of Tartarus on her.
