Chapter 9
Jawwie's face was a mix of surprise and pure joy when she heard the news. Her best friend was back! Or at least, emotionally.
Her face dropped when she took it all in. Alaska finally realized who she was, but she wasn't really Aklase. She had a new mind, a new personality, and worst of all..she didn't have the same connection they had before the accident. She didn't even have the same sparkle in her eyes. Aklase had sparkles when she was with her friends, unless she was faced with a battle or challenge, which in that case her eyes hardened.
War put on a fake smile while saying," That's great!" but it was clear that he felt the same way Jawwie did.
It was like Aklase's body came back from the dead, but her spirit was gone.
Jawwie had to force herself to stay where she was and not throw herself into a whirlpool to get away from all this misery and confusion.
Alaska's face dropped when she saw the fake happiness her friends were putting on. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted me to know who I really was."
While Jawwie tried to think of a way to explain how they wanted their old friend back, as nicely as possible, War said to Alaska in a harsh tone "We want the real thing. Not some lookalike in her body."
Alaska flinched like she was stung by a bee. "Sorry to disappoint you…" She muttered.
"What he means is-" Jawwie began.
"I know what he means!" Alaska snapped. "I'm just a copy; Not the original. But you know what? I didn't ask for this life. I didn't ask to be two people! So both of you give me a freakin' break! If I could become Aklase again I would. But I can't."
"Maybe you can" War suddenly cut in.
Alaska and Jawwie looked at him like he just announced he was going to eat mud.
"No really," War continued," were going to the book place right? Well we'll just look at the legends and see what we find. Merlin said we were part of a destiny. So who's to say were not in legend books? Or at least the books will tell us where we can find legends."
"Holy crap." Alaska muttered. "That actually made sense."
"It was bound to happen sometime" Jawwie added.
War, slightly annoyed by their comments, said in a more excited voice, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go see what we can find!"
Alaska and Jawwie nodded and led the way.

Sorry this is so short. Have a bad case of writers block.
