Zoey

Everything had been black for sometime now. Was Heath really dead? And what happened to Kalona? Where am I, anyway? Why did I have to leave that beautiful meadow? It was so peaceful… and now… now I'm just confused. Nothing feels right… I have to get back…

Where are your friends when you need them?

Aphrodite

"Okay, guys, here's how we're gunna do this. I need Stevie-Rae, Damien, Erin and Shaunee to come here and get in their places. We're going to form the circle around Zoey and I'm going to stand in the center and take her place for spirit. Let's hope this works."

Everyone took their places and picked up their candles, as she'd commanded. "Now remember, this will only work if you guys have faith in me, got it?" They all agreed at once and Aphrodite began:

"Air is everywhere. It is in our first breath when we wake up and our last before we go to sleep at night. I ask you to hear me, air, and I summon you to this circle." She lit Damien's yellow candle and suddenly Aphrodite could feel wind whooshing around her hair and she got a jolt of excitement and confidence, it was working!

"Next I call on fire, for you warm us all on cold days and light us through dark nights, I ask that you hear me, fire, and I summon you to this circle." and with that she lit Shaunee's red candle and was filled with warmth immediately. She could smell a hint of burning wood and could hear the crackling of a fireplace. Shaunee's candle shone brightly.

"Now I ask water to this circle, for you fill our plants with life and without you we would not survive. Water I ask you to hear me and I summon you to this circle!" she said with growing assurance that this was really going to work. She lit Erin's blue candle and as she did she could smell the salty air of the ocean and hear the soft pitter-patter of rain. Only two left to go!

"Next I call on Earth, for you are everything that supports us! I ask you to hear me, earth, and I summon you to this circle!" she lit Stevie-Rae's green candle and could immediately smell freshly cut grass and the sweet scent of dirt.

She then took her place in the center and picked up her own purple candle. "Finally I call on spirit! You are everything and everyone! I ask that you hear me spirit and I summon you to this circle!" She could suddenly feel all of the elements combine and the power behind them, "Please earth, wind, fire, water and spirit heal Zoey Redbird and bring her back to us! Find her soul and help it reunite with her body!" And with that Aphrodite fell to the ground, drained of all energy. She could not even move.

Zoey

I feel… something… wait… I can feel! My fingers, and my toes! They're there… I tried to open my eyes but I found that it took too much effort so I just laid still in silence.
I could hear my friends, all of them… maybe this was the Otherworld? No… it wouldn't hurt this much. It didn't hurt this much…
