Finding The Keys

Chapter 20 (*)

*Maki*

My eyes open to see I am still cradled in Dem's arms, I spin a peice of his long hair in my fingers. Soon finding that he was still fast asleep. Cuddling into his chest as a random chill shoots up my back. He let's out a small grunt as a reaction, he was waking up.
'Oh now you did it' Puppet say sassily in my head, I ingore her for now.
"Sorry," I mumble as his open.

"It's alright" he says, sitting up further from the position he was in.
'

Ooooooooooo you did it now you woke the beast! Tick tock!' Timebomb giggles pushing Puppet out of the way.
I must have made a werid face because Dem asked, "Hey Maki are you alright?"
I smile, "yeah just a few friends," I say softly, sitting up, I smell food in the kitchen and try to stand but I find my muscles not wanting to agree with me that I was hungry. I sigh after four failed attempts to stand I flop down in defeat.
"You want help?" I hear a voice say, I look up to see Thomas holding out hand. I take it and he helps me to my feet, or kinda, my legs give out and a fall to the floor.
I feel a pulse of magic in the air and something catches me. I open my eyes to see shadows wrapped around me like a safety blanket, my old vine scars glow on my wrist. I turn to Demterius, the side of his neck and his right shoulder is glowing, a smile stuck on his face.
Thomas calls into the kitchen, Oliver and Icicle come racing into the room, along with Li helping Guti hobble along. I am carefully set down on the ground by the shadows, I look at Guti, then everyone else.
"What's going on?" I ask touching the last bit of the shadows as they disapate into the air.
"Well it looks like you were right Oliver" Guti says Li helping him sit down in a chair, he had a brace around his left leg which made it hard for him to walk.
"What are you guys talking about?" I ask, turning towards Dem, then back to the others.
"The mark on you wrist matches Dem's, an Elemental match" Li said clapping her hands together once, tilting her head as she did so.
"Yeah they are right Maki," I hear a voice from behind me. I turn slightly to see Dem had stood up, using the arm of the couch for support. "The mark glowed when I used my magic on you... That's a good thing" he say with a smile.
I smile, the voices in my head where confused, I shut them up by mentally pushing the 'shh' button.
"Can someone help me up now?" I pout with a smile.
They all laugh, and Thomas and Icicle help me to my feet just needing alittle help to stand for now.
Soon I am able to stand on my own and we start to carry on with getting back to breakfast, but once again a voice rings out in my head.
'Just don't mess up this time alright? We will all support you, but Flamest gets really mad when you don't listen, she's breathing down my neck cause she's on mute.'
'I forget the mute button doesn't work on you. Oh well, and, tell Flamest to cool off, she will get her voice back soon enough.'
'I did and she just shot a fire ball at me.'
'That's your fault.'
