Yay, 3rd last chapter not including the epilogue. This chapter will be pretty short as well.

Chapter 12- Give Up the Ghost

"What do we have to do now?"

"Gather in front of me. You will reach into my stomach in which a spiral portal should appear. Feel around for something solid inside it then pull out."

"What if...what if it doesn't work?" I asked with sudden worry.

"It will. Go. NOW."

We all gathered in front of Rebekka. Our hands went through her stomach. A pinkish glow appeared from her stomach. I felt an object which was presumably an arm and grabbed it. "Okay," I said. "We'll pull at the count of three. One...Two...Three!" We pulled and out came a girl dressed in summer-like clothes and was unconscious. Rebekka stared at us blankly, waved, and then faded into nothing. The solid, human girl lay on the floor as we stared at her in awe. Nobody talked, and three minutes passed by like three hours. Finally the girl began to stand up. She got on her kneed and looked up, revealing pale blue, almost white, eyes. "Gde ya?"

"Huh?" 2D and I asked from lack of knowing the Russian language.

"Gde ya, kto vy takie?"

"REBEKKA!" Noodle shouted. "You know English!"

"En...Wha...wait...Wh- I'M ALIVE!" Rebekka suddenly burst into tears of joy and hugged 2D and Noodle. She looked at me and shook hands. With a thick Russian accent she said, "Thank you for helping me. This band...they're like family to me. I don't know where my real family is anymore, I'm almost certain they fled Russia- so String, thank you so much again. If we hadn't fled Canada, gotten into the Stylo and come here- well, I'd still be half-dead. I wanted to be able to be visible to everyone again...just be human, you know? I was trapped in a 12-year-old's body, practically. And to be 15...oh, it feels nice. So for the third time, thank you."

"You're welcome, Rebekka." I hugged her.

"I need to think of a way to repay you. Oh, and you can just call me Bekki now."

"Okay, Bekki."

A few days passed by and the whole time we were helping Bekki get used to being human again. She had to learn what happened to her while she was a ghost, because her memory of those past three years were completely gone.

All seemed pretty peaceful on the island, that is, until the fire happened.
