Chapter 36: A Possible Chance Denied
Emily (spirit)
I was in darkness. Where was I? It's cold.
"Emily." A familiar voice said.
I turned around and saw Daisuke.
"Daisuke, where am I?" I asked.
"You're in spirit world. But instead this is your own world. You're not ready to give up yet but your body is trying to pull you back in." Daisuke explained.
"I want to save my friends. It's my fault they're on Xandred's ship." I said thinking back to the time when I defied their orders of staying home. I went before they did. I should have never gone. If I didn't I may have been able to escape." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Emily, tell me how you felt when you were held captive in your head." He said.
"I felt…I felt weak, worried, hurt, I wanted to be with my father but not anymore." I replied.
"How did you feel when you saw your friends as a spirit?"
"Relieved that they weren't injured. Happy that maybe I can get them out of there. I was happy that I had the chance to save them before it gets worse. I knew it would get worse for me for letting them out but it was too late for me." I said.
"How did you feel when you were in your body and saw they were trying to help you."
"I felt happy that they haven't given up on me. I felt that I still had a chance." I said.
"So you really are strong." He said.
"I guess…..I'm not sure." I said.
"What did you learn when you figured out Xandred didn't love you and that the rangers never stopped."
"I learned that Xandred wouldn't care if I was alive or not. He just wanted me to be his weapon." I replied.
"There is a way for you to overcome this, it'll take a lot of hard work but you will be able to succeed in getting you and your friends out of the Netherworld. I brought you here so you can realize what everyone means to you." He said.
"Is it possible for you to bring my friends here? I want them here with me. I need to know they're okay." I begged. He sighed.
"Their spirits are accepted by their bodies. They are fine. Your body accepted you but you didn't want to go back in." He said.
"Oh…." I said.
"Let's start-" He said. The world turned dark. Next thing I know I am chained with Exilia and the evil version of me standing in front of me.
"Not this again…." I sighed. Do I really have a chance of getting out of here?
