The Elementalists: Darkness Rises

A Special Reunion

I awoke from my sleep, but something was odd. I wasn't in the cell anymore and I couldn't see Tay anywhere. "Tay?! Alex?! Anybody?!" I cried out but no one answered, just a low and quiet echo. I got up as quickly as I could, looking around the room I'm in. It was a bright white room with waves of different colors on the walls. There were paintings on the walls and pillars of statues on every side. I started to walk down the hall, until I saw one of the paintings. It was an exact painting of the first day me and Tay became an Elemental. "The scene...at the mall...when my powers first came to be...how is that possible?" I said to myself. I reached out my hand to touch it but when I did, the painting started to move; with a flash of light, the painting began to play that scene.

"No...don't lay a finger on her..." I heard my voice shouting out toward Tay as my power burst into a bright ball of light. "Get away from her!" I said in the scene. I looked at the painting again as it showed me and Tay...hugging after what happened. "I will always love you...you are my cousin...no matter what..." "We will always be family." I finished. The painting turned white as the scene ended. I backed away and started walking in the hall again. I found a bright red door at the end of one of the halls. I ran toward it and when I opened, I was in shock. It was full of memories and statues of the whole team. I saw everyone. Emmet, Alex, Naomi, Tyliah, Bri, the twins, everyone. But there was one statue in the middle of them all. Me and Tay with our swords...smiling at each other. Our eyes were golden with a rainbow pupil in the middle and golden wings appeared from our backs.

"W-What..is this place?" I asked myself. I kept looking around the room when I saw a figure outside the door. A man with a white jacket and jeans. He was wearing a white cape with a golden design of an angel on the front of it. He was looking at me, though I couldn't see his face. I went to walk closer but as soon as I made one step, he ran off into a different hallway. "Hey! Wait!" I yelled as I chased him. I continued to chase until eventually, I lost him. I tried to find him again until I saw another door..but this time, As i tried to walk away I heard a voice come from it. "Come to me...I'm not a threat." I was scared but the voice was calm and peaceful. So with curiosity, I walked slowly toward the white and golden door. When I opened it, it was a bedroom. A bedroom that looked exactly like mine. "Wait what? Why am I here?" I said.

I continued to walk downstairs and I saw something I never remembered. It was a woman holding her new born baby in her hand. My eyes grew wide as I covered my mouth. "M-mom.." I said quietly. I went to look to see what the newborn looked like. I looked closer to realize...it was Tay. She was smiling and happy, making funny noises and continued saying "Momma". Then a man came into the room, With another baby...which looked like me...it was me. But, I couldn't figure out who the man was. Then, an older brother and sister came into the room with a camera. "Alright guys..say Cheese!" "Cheese!" They shouted as the camera flashed and took the picture. I had tears coming out my eyes as I realized my younger self and Tay...were always together. No matter if it was bad, good, in the middle...we always helped each other and stayed together.

Then the man went toward me and Tay, as he said, "You two are my favorite daughters...my beautiful and talented twins...I know you two will do amazing things in the future...I love you both." He finished as he kissed both of their foreheads. I covered my mouth and tears were flowing out even more. "W-We're...sisters...?" I whispered to myself. "Yes...you are. Now you know the truth." I turned around to see who was talking. That's when I saw the man I saw earlier, but instead of running...he told me to come closer. I was afraid at first but I walked toward him until I was in front of him. He lifted his hand and put it on my cheek. Then, he took out the hair-tie I had in my hair and let my hair down. He backed away one step in awe. "Wow..just look at you. My talented and strong Andria...you've grown up. I'm sorry I didn't get to see it happen." He said.

My face had tears dripping down my face as he took his hood off and looked at me with his brown eyes. "Hello...daughter.." He said "H-Hi there...dad." I said as my voice choked and he pulled me into a hug. "Shhh...it's okay..." he said. I stood there without letting go. "Now...come walk with me..." He said again. As he held out his hand, I grabbed and started walking into a new room...
