Copper picked up Elsina in an upright position from her hands so that she wouldn't be leaning on anything, "It's ok Elsina, just concentrate on staying awake." He said calmly. (sorry for the short posts, I'm doing some very long homework)

Peri could feel her power being shoved out of the other realm and into the realm of the living. She focused on that. She looped her power inside of her and made sure there were no loose ends. She couldn't think about what had happened. She tried desperetaly to block it from her mind. She'd deal later. Right now she had to stay sane and coherent until Aiden showed up. If she would. She refused to let tears leak from her eyes as the thought of the possibility of loosing them both leaked into her mind. A tear fell and she wiped it away. No, she thought. Aiden will need me. After I help her, then I can cry in peace.

Suddenly a blinding flashcut through the air and when it faded Aiden was lying on the ground.
Elsina clung to Copper. She was desperatly trying to stay awake but she felt so feverish and tired...

Peri knelt by Aiden. Her pulse was going, but she hadn't been worried about that. If she was dead she would've just stayed in there like-- She cut her thoughts off quickly. "Aiden," she said softly. "Its me, Pericu. Are you alright?"

Aiden sat up slowly. She felt different. Then she realized what it was. "He's gone isn't he?" she said softly, her voice full of tears. Suddenly she started to sob and threw her arms around Peri. She kept whispering, "Gone, gone, gone..." She clung to Peri like a drowning child.
Elsina's eyes closed several times. her legs felt like jelly. She felt like she was on fire.

Peri held Aiden close, letting her sob. She eased her hands around the crying girl and stood her up. "Come on," she murmured, "Lets go." She brought Aiden to a nearby room and sat them both on the bed. She stared out the window as thoughts broke into her mind that she had tried to force out. Remembering Eydan's last words she murmured, so quietly that she couldn't even hear herself, "I know". And then she let her own tears fall.
Rayne noticed Elsina's struggles and got a wet cloth to mop her forehead with. She stuck the tea into Elsina's hands. "Drink this." It had enough caffience, Rayne hoped, to keep her awake. For once in her life rayne found herself wishing she had magic which she normally didn't approve of.
Aiana hurried over to Lariond after he collapsed. "Are you alright?" she asked her little brother. "We need to get you home right away." Her green eyes were worried as she looked him over. He was pale and sickly looking. His eyes were slightly unfocused, but he managed a shaky smile at her. "I'll survive."

Copper felt that Elsina was in pain and thought that he could help ease the pain a little, it wouldn't make it go away, but it would help, if he did it right. He grabbed Elsina with one arm as he put the spell book on the ground. He flipped through the pages with one hand and eventually found it. He read the words aloud and his hands glew pink, and as he grabbed Elsina with two hands the pink energy transferred into her, now he just hoped that it would work. Then he raised her off the ground and shook her for a while, insuring her to stay awake, "Don't go to sleep..." He said.

Al seemed to be caught up in beating himself up on what he did. This made him remember some stuff in the past, so he was to distracted by thinking about stuff to help Elsina, as he did not notice her or anyone else, including Copper.

Elsina was now slightly more awake. Though she felt feverish and hot. Perhaps she had gotten a cold. Yes tha was it, just a cold. She leaned up against Copper, tired but not sleepy any longer.
Aiden had finally stopped crying. "He loved you ya know?" she said quietly, her cheeks still tear soaked. "When ever I- we- slept, we could talk to each other. It was only in dreams but we discovered this when we were just children. he would talk about you in a way that made me wish I could split apart from him so he could be with you all the time. I never knew he wished to do the same for me..." she trailed off, fresh tears rising in her eyes. "It doesn't feel so crowded in my body anymore but it does feel a little empty. I miss him so much Peri." She said finally looking into the other girls eyes.
Adder had positioned herself so that Lariond could lean on her. "What is going on Aiana?" she said in a tone of finality.

"Elsina, it's been a very long time for me, I missed you a lot, I hope I didn't worry you, do you think you'll be ok?" He asked her, kind of like in a sad tone. He had noticed Al, but he was too occupied with Elsina, and he couldn't just leave her now.

Rayne kept a watchful eye on Elsina. She seemed more awake, which was good. Rayne positioned herself so she would be able to watch her but still give her and copper their space. Of course, she made sure she was close enough to hear what they were saying too.
Peri listened quietly to Aiden's speech. "He told me," she told her friend. "Right before..." She smiled a watery smile. "I miss him too."
Aiana sighed. "Its an elvish thing. We need to get him to Ilsini." She eyed her pale brother and added, "As soon as possible."

Rayne decided that Elsina was fine now, well, fine enough for her to let Copper watch her. Her grey eyes scanned the room. She spotted Uriel and grinned. Should she go talk to him again? She thought for a moment. Yes, she decided. He doesn't keep noticable secrets. He tells you things when you ask him questions. She grinned wider. It was like having Christmas early. She walked over. "Hi again Uriel. Where'd Kira disappear to?" she asked. "Do you know why she went?"

Uriel gave a knowing smile. "Somehow I knew you would be back" he said with a grin. "Kira went to see our father to meet her future husband" he said in a sad tone. "Our father had finally found someone who can pay high prices. My father may be powerful, but he still is obsessed with wealth" Uriel spat.

Elsina was loosing strength. "Hey," she croaked her throat becoming raw. She coughed then continued, "Can I get some rest yet. I think my powers have cleared up my head." She turned around and leaned her back against Copper's chest trying to regain her balance.
Nina turned to the other girls. "Auntie is sick." she said with a big grin. Tabitha waved shyly at the girl. "I'm Nina and this is my twin Tabitha." Nina said pointing to her sister. "Who'r you?"

Rayne grinned at him after his first comment. When he answered her questions, she began to process the information, looking for which questions to ask. Finally she said, "Who's the husband? What's the price?" She shuddered inwardly at Kira's situation and at her father's larger interest in wealth than in his daughter's happiness. She tilted her head questioningly. "Why aren't you being forced into a marriage?" If Hades shoved his rebellious daighter into a marriage, wouldn't he do the same to his more passive son?
