Maddie was locked in darkness. She floated, dream-like in nothing at all. Everything was just a sea of non-existence, swirling like a nightmare sky around her.
And then she felt a pull in her gut.
And next thing she knew was she was looking into Nyx's bedroom, Nyx sitting cross-legged on her bed, meditating.
As soon as she saw her arrive, Nyx hopped off the bed, racing over to her, clapping her hands excitedly.
"Oh my God, it worked!"
"What worked?" Maddie looked lost. "What am I doing here? Why am I... where am I?"
"Currently, you're kind of... in my bedroom mirror. But that's totally okay, it's supposed to happen, so don't freak out."
Maddie freaked out. "What the hell do you mean I'm in your bedroom mirror?!"
"Umm, you're kind of in a coma..."
"In a coma? But apparently, I'm in your bedroom mirror! Explain, now!"
Nyx ran her fingers through her hair nervously. "Okay, so your body is in a coma, but I managed to yank your consciousness and put it into your reflection. It was a little experiment of mine... anyway, you're here and I need your help."
Maddie eyed Nyx suspiciously. "You've changed. You're... weirder than I remember."
"Uh... Thanks?"
"Before you were friendly, lovable, kooky gal-pal weird. Now you're just... You're more mature. But weird."
Nyx rolled her eyes. "Thank you, for that lovely assumption you made from two seconds of conversation. Anyway, do you want to see your baby?"
Maddie's eyes lit up. "My baby? My baby's here? My baby's safe?"
"Safe and sound. Though the Clave are trying to find a child protection issue and take her from us, but they've got nothing."
Maddie was still grinning like a madman, tears of joy in her eyes. "I'll do anything. Just take me to her."
Maddie's back! Who's happy?
