Criticism's POV

       "No- no! She can't be!" Romance exclaimed. She rushed over next to me, then realized Death across the room. "Death." She whispered. "No, no nonononono...." She got up and ran to Death, who was laying just as still as Life. "She doesn't have a pulse, either." Romance started to cry, then sob. I looked back at Life. "No." I whispered. "What?" Romance said. "I said, no. They have to come back. They have to." I thought for a moment. "Go get Gossip." I commanded Romance. "What good will that do?" She asked. I yelled again, "Go get Gossip!" She wiped her tears and ran to the classroom. in a few minutes, she came back with Gossip, who was in tears. "Gossip get over here." She came and sat next to me, trying to get around the broken glass. Life's head was still in my lap, her long blonde hair falling around the floor. "Gossip, you can use your powers to see what happened here." She looked suprised. "No, I can't. My powers only go as far as seeing someone in the present." "This school is meant to teach you to stretch your powers. Your powers are like being psychic, you said it yourself. Just... Try. For Life." I looked up at her. She was much taller than me. She pushed up her glasses, and looked me in the eye. "For Life." She closed her eyes, and tried to recollect what had happened here. After a few minutes she opened her eyes, bewildered. She put her hand to her mouth. "Ohmigawd. Ohmigawd." She got up and backed away, "It worked?" I asked. "Yes. Yes it worked." "Then what happened?" Romance asked. Gossip told us how they had fought and what Life did to try to survive her sister. "Then, when Death attacked Life, Life's powers automatically tried to protect her. There was so much power going on, the electricity went out. When they blasted their powers at each other, Life's mirror shield reflected Death's powers when she blasted them. The power they both put out was absorbed into each other, but the opposite forces should've only knocked them out, not killed them. Maybe it could've caused their hearts to stop momentarily, but not enough to kill them." She wiped her eyes. We stared at both Life, Death, and the wrecked bathroom in silence, trying to figure out why they had died instead of just going unconcious, when the room was filled with a yellow and pink glow. A bright flash of light came through, and the bathroom was back in order, other than Life and Death lying on the floor.  Life's head was still in my lap, but I felt her shift and murmur something. Romance looked bewildered, as well as Gossip. "She's alive!" I whispered. I smiled and closed my eyes for a moment. I heard Life murmur one word again: "Cr-criticism..."
