Mitchie's POV

I was laying against the cool hard wall for what seemed like hours, when a door appeared at the other end of the room. It opened and I glared as I watched Carter walk in shoving Selena ahead of her. She looked worn out and miserable. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying. Carter shoved her to the ground and left without so much as a glance to me.

Selena lifted her head a bit and looked towards me.

"Mitchie!" she exclaimed as she rushed to my side. She knelt down next to me and brushed some of the hair out of my face. This is when I realized it was Alex and not her identical twin sister. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get used to that.

"Alex?" I whispered feeling completely drained and trying to ignore my pounding head.

"Yeah, its me." She told me lifting her hand to my forehead and worry flashed in her eyes. "You're still sick" She murmured. That would explain the drained feeling. I felt like all I wanted to do was sleep, but that would be impossible at the moment. My whole body ached and there were too many things running through my mind.

"Alex? Where are we?" I said just barely above a whisper. My throat was sore and dry. It felt like I had been gargling nails for the past hour.

"I don't know. Carter trapped us here and bound our powers. We still have them, we just can't use them. She's trying to find a way to take our powers for herself."

"Why does she want your powers? Why is she doing all this to us?" I asked. Alex looked into my eyes. Hers were filled with sadness. I figured she was missing her little brother.

"I'll explain some other time. I think you should get some rest." She told me, noticing my eyes drooping.

"I can't" I choked out. This caused her to be more concerned. "It hurts too much"

"What does?"

"Everything." She scooted until she was right next to me on the wall. and brought her arm around me, gently pulling me towards her till my head was resting on her shoulder.

"I don't know if this will work, but it might." She told me. She raised her arm and held it over my leg. I now noticed it was wrapped with Alex's sweater. It was now covered in blood. I watched as Alex's hand started to glow, dimly but still glow. I felt the warmth of it as the pain in my leg started to slowly disappear. A few seconds later, the blood covering the sweater was gone. I looked back to Alex.

"I thought you said they bound your powers."

"They did, but she didn't take the power in you." she told me. Then pulled me closer to her leaning my head once again. "Now you should sleep. Your going to need your energy."

"What for?"

"There's gonna be a lot of fighting once our back up gets here"

"Back up?" I asked her confused.

"Don't worry, just rest for now, You'll see what I mean soon enough" I wasn't sure what to think of that. Alex seemed to notice and she kissed me on the forehead.

"Sweet dreams Mitch" she told me quietly. My exhaustion seemed to creep on me and I fell asleep feeling safe in Alex's arms.

Alex's POV

I let myself get lost in thought as Mitchie slept. I thought back to the spell I had cast. It showed me what I wanted to know and not what I asked. I knew Max was okay, just like I knew Justin was okay.

After the whole brawl and Justin's death, these men appeared out of nowhere grabbing us. They used chloroform and knocked us out. Then we woke up in this cell. They didn't speak a word to us, not even carter. They took me and Selena into this weird room where they bound our powers then brought me back.

I didn't know what was happening to Selena right now, but all I could do was sit here and worry. On the way back to the cell, the guards suddenly went for a water break, leaving me alone in the hallway. I knew I couldn't just leave Mitch and Selena behind, so escaping wasn't an option.

I stood there kind of awkwardly trying to find someway to take advantage of the situation when I saw Max stroll out of one of the doors and down the hall. I felt my eyes bulging as i stared at him. He saw me and waved. I just kept staring until finally he came over and explained everything to me. Apparently, someone brought them back to life. Neither of them know who, they just said they randomly woke up back here.

I found this to be very suspicious. Obviously Carter has something to do with this and I was going to find out what.

Im sorry this chapter isn't as long as I intended it to be, but don't worry, Ill most likely update tomorrow. PEACE OUT
