Good and Evil

Not Just the Imagination

I looked over at the girl Mark had a tight grip on. Letting who I had captured out of the choke hold, I heard them gasping for air as if their life depended on it... Oh wait...
(A/n see what I did there?😉)
Anyway, I left the boy and slowly walked over to where Mark was. "Mark! Stop using your persuasion on Jack!" Jessie told Mark.
"I'm not! I swear!" He replied before I cut him off.
"It's okay. Just give me a minute"
I approached the girl that Mark had restrained and stopped a foot or two before them. I reached out and tried to touch her shoulder, but she flinched away causing Mark to tighten his grip. I reached out again and touched her face, feeling her flinch again. I moved her light brown hair out of her face and looked into her dark blue eyes. Moving her hair again, I found the mark, the thing I had been searching for. Brushing my finger over the small spot of skin decoloration, she flinched again and looked up at me.
"Isabelle?
Is that you?
Could it be?"
My mind was racing with possibilities. The small scar was in the right place, it has to be her.
She looked directly at me when I said the name, then she looked all around the room as if searching for answers. "My name is Ivy." She said in a tiny, quiet voice.
"No," I refused, "your name is Isabelle. You're my big sister. And apparently you have been brainwashed... This scar is from when you and I were playing around together as kids and when you fell whole holding me on your back, you got hurt and protected me instead of just letting me fall and saving yourself... You had to get 7 stitches. Remember when I counted them for you?"
"Wait. Sean?" She asked, a twinkle in her eye. "I thought you were just a figment of my imagination, a dream, I never considered that you could have been an actual memory"
"Yeah! I'm Sean!"
"SEANIE!" Isabelle yelled, getting out of Mark's grip and wrapping me in a hug. "I hadn't realized how much I missed you Jackaboy"
"I can't believe you're alive Izzy! I thought when you were taken that they were going to kill you."
"Nope, after they took us they realized that we were not the ones they wanted so they just brainwashed us and put is to work as warriors."
"If you are here, then where is Evan?" I said, asking about my brother's whereabouts.
"Well... He had slightly more Septic in him than he should have, so they took him." Isabelle started sniffling and I put the pieces together, starting to sniffle too.
"Hey, uh, guys?" Peach said, "Sorry to break up the family reunion, but we kinda have to keep moving." I nodded and we went back into the main hallway after interrogating the other warriors to see what they know about the place.
