Me: I have a major plot twist in this chapter!
Genis: We've been asking for hours, but she won't tell us what it is. The only one who does know is Xylon, but SylphWindDancer, who owns nothing locked him in a closet, so...
Chapter 13: Trapped in Another...
"Try, 'what are you doing in my body?'"
"What?!"
Okay, long story short: BIG TROUBLE!
Yuka flew up from the grass, panicking, "What? How can you be in MY body? Or my head? Or whatever!"
"Calm down. It's not like I happy about this either. It must have been that spell that Theron casted. You know, that part where he said, 'bend and twist forms.' This must be what he was talking about!"
"No way! Then...what about eveybody else? Is that why some of the others are missing?"
"Yeah. At least one person is in another's body, but then again, I think ONE person may still have their own body. ...Not sure, though."
"Oh, okay, so you're just guessing."
"Yeah."
"Well, what're we gonna do now?"
"Guess we'll have to wait until they-"
"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE IN MY BODY?!!!!" roared Sheena.
"...wake up? Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if the pervert is in Sheena's body." Yuka sighed.
"Yeah. Anyway, if everyone else has someone trapped in their body, they'll wake up-"
"WHAT?!"
"(Sighs) ...-soon."
After everyone had woken up, Yuka informed to everyone what Scarlett had told her to tell them. All of this was Theron, but, Yuka and Xylon quickly noticed their surroundings:
The two exploded: "We're on Earth! This is our neighborhood!"
"What?!"
They quickly explained about where they lived: (I couldn't think of anywhere good, so I chose my hometown, where I still live:) Bessemer City. It's a small country town of around 5,000 people, and the two friends lived about a mile outside, but they considered themselves in B.C.
"So..." Kratos quietly questioned, "Who has who? Anna is with me."
Raine said in a mouthful: Noishe,theprotozoianisinsidemybody,butIcan'tdissecthhhhiiiimmmm!!!!"
Sheena huffed, "I have Zelos."
Lloyd commented, "Colette."
Genis twitched, "P-Presea..."
Zeki's mouth twitched into a smile, "I have Renne with me."
Yuan informed, "Celeste."
Xylon raised an eyebrow and said quickly, "No one."
Rylan was last to speak up, "Regal."
Yuka told them they were close to their house, so they could go there and figure out what to do when they got there.
They agreed and walked by aboout 12 houses, and trailers before reaching Yuka's house. She couldn't see Irene, Luke, Starrlit, or any of her other animals anywhere. She stepped over the bars by their gate, which were in the ground. You use them so the animals won't get out.
Yuka hesitated, but whistled loudly for Starrlit. Nothing happen, nobody came. "That's strange..."
Xylon shifted his eyes, "It's too quiet. Even the kids aren't making noises..."
"Not even the neighbors..." Yuka sweatdropped.
They all piled on Yuka's porch as she opened the door, calling, "Mom? Dad? 'Chelle?' 'Hannajima!' ...Are you guys home?"
The group took off their shoes and they all looked through the house, until something disturbing happened. Yuka was looking through her room when she heard Xylon call, "Yuka! Come here! In the kitchen!"
Yuka stumbled past her brother, who was looking through her room, murmuring something about 'girls' and 'what the Mana?'
She entered the kitchen and saw Xylon waving a hand in front in front of Sabrina, "It's like she's frozen..." Xylon frowned. "She's not doin' anything at all."
Yuka held her breath and whispered in her mother's ear, "Mom? ...Can you hear me?" ...Nothing.
Then, she recalled her mother's words, "Time may freeze while you're gone." and Theron's words, "Show them the horrible power of time."
"Time control..." she murmured.
"What?" Xylon raised an eyebrow, "What'd you say?"
Yuka answered to everyone listening, "Theron. He has the power over time. He's wanting to prove something to us, by stopping time. Like...it's as if something happened to him in the past, and he's been trapped in the past ever since."
"And..." Scarlett added, "...he's been in the dark so long, he think's time has stopped. And...what was the other thing?...oh, yeah! You wrote the story about us, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, that part where Theron approached me and he said 'Jane' and you hadn't thought to far ahead, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, he may think that I'm his dead wife, because he can't forget the past. So now, he's trapped in it, the dark, and he's gone mad!"
"I get it!"
Yuka translated what Scarlett had told her, and the two Seraphim nodded their heads, "That makes sense."
Xylon fidgeted and whispered, "Umm...guys?"
They all turned their heads to face him, "What?"
"Umm...remember when I said I didn't have anyone in my body? I...lied. I have Mithos inside me."
"Mithos? Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Yuan snapped.
"Umm..." he droaned.
"Never mind, don't answer that." Yuan sighed, "So...how are we going to get back to Symphonia?"
They all pondered on that for a long time, and everyone answered the same, "No idea."
Yuka had a quick thought, and stepped outside. She and the others walked up to the tree where she and Xylon had left from. Just as she'd thought, Irene, Luke, and Starrlit seemed like they were waiting on her return. Then, Kratos had an idea, "Couldn't Raine try to heal them with Healing Circle, or something like that?"
Raine nodded, "I can try."
She brought out her staff, positioned herself, and she murmured, "Help is on the way...Healing Circle!"
The blue light engulfed the three animals, and seconds later, all Yuka, Xylon, and, surprisingly enough, Kratos saw were animals up in their faces, Yuka cried out in surprise when Irene knocked her down, and Starrlit picked her up by the back of the shirt, "Guys! I'm- oof! -glad to see you, too! Get...Ow! Get off of me, Luke, you big...bear-like creature!"
The animals obeyed and got off of Yuka, and she beamed, "I wonder if it would work on Mom."
They were followed by the animals, to the house, where Raine preformed Healing Circle, which had not worked. It only gave Sabrina more color in her white skin.
"If that won't work, how...are we gonna get through this?" Yuka whispered.
Rylan asked, "Maybe we could go around town to see if everyone is like this?"
"Good idea." they answered.
When they went to leave Yuka's yard, something flashed and hit everyone, knocking everyone back into a tree...everyone except Xylon.
Theron's voice was heard, and he chuckled, "Good job, apprentice."
Xylon laughed, "Thank you, Master."
Me: Muhahahahahaha! But, please, nobody kill me!
ToS group: HOW CAN YOU EXPECT FOR NO ONE TO KILL YOU?!!!
Me: Oh, I know nobody can.
Scarlett: Read and rewveiw, and tell her what you thought of this plot twist...
Yuka: I HATE YOU!!!!
Me: Oh, yeah, BTW, the things from earlier, 'Chele,' and 'Hannajima' is my sister's nicknames! And my mother's name isn't really Sabrina!
