Chapter 6: A True Sister

I haven't seen Jaden in two weeks other than in classes and now it's the week before the week of the dance. I was busy with my Atticus problems. One night I went to his room, I was ready for him to recognize me. I stated my mind: "Atticus, you are not being fair to me. I know you think as me as your little sister. I can deal by myself; Molly is overprotective of Jaden too. She got over it and you have to too. Leave me and Jaden alone." I walked away, I think I got thru to him.

The next day, Amy comes in the room. "I solved the problem. The key card, it's how you can get into the shadow realm. The principal got them from Mr. Banner, now you can save Jaden…

"Jaden, Where's Jaden? Is he in the Shadow Realm?" I was upset and really kind of tired of trying to save Jaden.

"Go meet up with Bastian, Zane and Chazz they're going with you to save Jaden in the SR. Mr. Vise will give you a key card." I looked at her and ran into the office. She looked at me and she wished me good look.

I got to the office. "Alexis your brother has kidnapped Jaden, and taken him into the Shadow Realm. Here is your key card. There are 7 key cards or pendants. It seems the Shadow Duelist wants them, so they can come to our world. Jaden has one, as well as Bastian, Chazz, Zane, Mr. Banner, Dr. Crowler, and yourself." I looked at the box of key cards. "Remember this journey is just for you 7. Nobody else can join you on this journey. The key card is what allows you to enter the shadow Realm it also let's you leave. You lose a duel there; you lose the card and your soul. Good Luck."

I ran to the abandoned dorm, ran to the portal and showed my key. The rest followed, I ran around and then I saw Jaden. He was in a duel vs. my brother. When I heard the terms of the duel, I almost fainted. It Jaden wins he gets the other half of the pendant, and my brother leaves the academy. It my brother wins he gets the half, and Jaden can't hang around with me. I understood it completely. Either way Atticus'ss soul would become whole and Jaden and I or Atticus and I could free it.

I stood there until the duel was almost over. Jaden was down and about to collapse. I ran over to Jaden. My brother attacked and Jaden launched a return attack. It ended up that Jaden won by 600 points. I woke up later in my room, just like the last shadow duel. There was a note. It read:

Jaden's in the hospital, he has the whole pendant. I have found out how you can save your brother's soul and memory. I will meet you at Bondini Beach at 7am. Don't forget to get Jaden.

Sincerely, Miss. Amy

I decided to buy a boat because well I traveled a lot over the last week. I had my captain drive me over. I went to the hospital and saw Jaden. He was awake wow; this was the first time in a while. The doctors said everything was normal but he was in paranoia for a while. He looks up at everyone and Alexis looks at him and just smiles. I signed Jaden out of the hospital and we took Jaden back to the academy. He was glad to be back. I was glad he was back too. My brother had a few hours to wait until Jaden and I could reunite his soul.

I stared at the book page Amy had marked from me. It said "Fourex puw Discos, huna puw haona vulded fourex. Amy said it meant. Free this soul, take this piece and make it free. Then Jaden and I read the next part. "Qu gu ni, qu gu veit xenentic." She told me she would tell me what the next part meant later. I didn't mind though I did wonder, but she would tell me.

At 7pm, Jaden and I held the soul piece above the marking and say the saying. "Fourex puw Discos, huna puw haona vulded fourex" we looked at each other and repeated the next part "Qu gu ni, qu gu veit xenentic." A flow of rainbow colors flew out of the amulet and into the window and went into Atticus.

Atticus was on the floor, lying there as if he was dead. "Alexis, Jaden thank you so much. Jaden I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you. I'm so sorry, I know…" I just smiled. He just looked at me and smiled.

"I'm so glad your back to your normal self." Later after everyone left; I sat next to him. "Okay, I'm glad you're back and just to keep you happy with me. Let me set up some rules. One, never ever get into my love life it's my love life. Two, don't mention anything about my love life. Three, don't ever bring up our past unless it's just you and me. Four, treat me like I'm 15 I know I haven't seen you in 5 years but treat me like I am now not like I was three years ago." He hugged me and I hugged him. I so glad you're back.

"I wouldn't dare, not after what you said." I looked at him. I didn't understand. "You have no clue, do you? Do have any clue what the second part of the spell said well I know it and you said not to meddle so I'm not going to." I stared at him; He wasn't going to break.

"I ran to Amy's room and there was a note. It read: "We are one, we are…" I looked at it and wondered what she meant. Mandy walked over and asked me what I was doing.

"See Mandy, Jaden and I said a spell and I don't know what we said. Amy said she would tell me what it meant but, all she did was left this note." Mandy looked at the note. She asked me to repeat what we said. I said it "Qu gu ni, qu gu veit xenentic."

"Just as I thought, Amy that note is what that means the first two words in what you said and what the note said are both repeated in the second part." I looked at the note she was right. So the note was the saying.

I stayed up trying to figure out finally I got it. It said we are the same and we are something. I sighed I guess that being in the shadow realm gave him the ability to understand how they spoke there. I asked him to explain it later. Nevertheless, he didn't. He said I'd understand later. He also said you couldn't be told all the answers to life.

Then I remembered, with all of the saving Jaden and Atticus. I almost forgot that tomorrow was the dinner party. I got ready and did my hair.

It the morning I heard a faint knock on the door. It was ME. "Alexis. It's terrible, just terrible." I jumped up and wondered what happened. "Chumsley is leaving duelist academy, to become a card designer. I'll probably never see him again." She was crying on the floor. "I have no clued what to do."

"I know where we're going, to the Slifer Red dorm." I walked with ME to the dorm. I came in the door and ME looked at the dorm the same way as Kari did when she got here.

"ME here has a problem, Jaden. She has to take a different path as Chumsley too." I sat on Jaden's bed which was not kept clean but I knew he wouldn't clean it anyway.

"ME. Syrus. Chumsley has a dream and it's not friend like to want to stop him from achieving it. We have to go our separate paths and deal." ME thanked Jaden and went back to her dorm.

I met up with Jaden at the party. It was of course back to normal. The school was safe from the people who wanted to kill Jaden. My brother was back to his very Jaden-like self. I'm surprised Lisa didn't break up with Zane after that article. It was our normal group with a plus of Mandy, Lisa, and Jasmine, and a minus of ME and Chumsley. It was a great party; I spent most of the party with my group. I sat down at the lighthouse and soon Zane was there too.

"Zane… thanks so much for acting like my brother while mine was in the Shadow Realm. You are exactly what everyone says, Perfect." He smiled and we exchanged glances. Moreover, for the first time ever I saw him smile.

My brother was back to his normal self in a few days. He was happy to be back to normal and I made sure I got thrugh to him about me. I made him promise he wouldn't interfere with my love life. I know you haven't seen for 5 years but I'm 15 and I can date, and have a boyfriend. He was not very good about listening to me.
