I`m your friend dummy.

“Hey you hurry it up!!” The man outside the bathroom stall protested. “We`ve all got shits to take buddy!”

KNOCK!! KNOCK! KNOCK!

The man pounded on the door.

My life up until now has been nothing but ordinary, nothing like magic, dungeons and dragons exists in this world, nothing like in the novels I love to read. 

I`m not complaining it’s been a good life, I graduated high school, got myself a part time job, moved out of my parents’ house and even made it into a top class university-

“Are you giving birth or something, do you need some help??” The man inquired.

 “I said do you need some help taking your shit bro!? “Would you like me to come help beat the crap out of you?”

KNOCK!! 

KNOCK!! KNOCK!

He pounded on the door.

-So why?!

Why did I have to die in a bathroom stall of all places!?

 I don’t know what’s going on but I can see my lifeless body passed out sunken in the toilet sit—I can see myself from some kind of bird’s eye view.

Does this mean I`m dead no way...

Why did I have to die taking…A dump?! 

This is to embarrassing, I`ll never live this down someone please kills me…

“Do you want me to friggin kill ya!”

Yes!!…I`m begging you.

What am I saying, I`m already dead.

“Quit hogging the only bathroom in this place you piece of shit!!” He yelled as he smashed the door open, enough for him to walk through.

SMASH!!

Tiny wooden chunks that once held the door in place scattered about and fell to the floor.

No sooner had he walked in than he burst out laughing.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! What the hell?! Bro you passed out crapping yourself! I`ve got to share this.”

He pulled out a phone from the side of his right cheek pocket on his denim jeans and…

CLICK...

With a bright flash of light he took a picture.

He took a picture…Why?! Ahhh! Please stop!!

He can’t hear me obviously, cause I`m dead.

He readied his hands for another round of candid shots.

CLICK…

Another bright light flashed before my eyes. 

I wanted to scream out for the man to stop, but I had no voice. I can’t even cry or lament my humiliating demise.

This time the bright flash was followed by complete darkness.

Empty, pitch black nothingness enveloped me.

 I can’t see anything I can’t feel anything. 

Suddenly a glimmer of light appears in the darkness, I try to reach out to it only to find myself in the arms of a young Nurse.

I can see again, I can feel again!

Wait…

 Huh--why a nurse? How is she even holding me up I weigh a ton!? What`s going on here?

I stretched out my hands but…They were different, are these my hands their so chubby and small…Wait something very important is missing no way my—My--.

“It’s a girl!” The nurse said in jubilation.

--comrade!

The shock of losing my precious comrade in arms was so tremendous that I couldn’t hold back the tears.

“She’s crying. Bring her here please.” A woman`s voice said gently.

The nurse gently passed me over to the blonde haired woman lying on the bed, she had hazel eyes, beside her was a brunette haired man in glasses with ocean blue eyes.

“Don’t cry,” She said softly, “Watch this, a little magic trick.”

She raised the tip of her index finger.

“That which is hidden by darkness unable to shine, I call thee forth Illuminate.”

FLICKER! Flicker!

A bright light shone from the tip of her finger.

I was completely captivated and in awe by what I had just seen.

“Madam!” The nurse shouted. “It`s too soon for you to be casting magic.”

She frantically tried to apologize to the nurse. “Sorry… I just thought—”

“—you`ve always been a little dense Maryann.” The Brunette haired man in glasses teased.

 “Hopefully our little girl here doesn’t end up like that too.”

“You can be so mean darling…” 

The blonde haired woman mumbled.

The two of them flirted with each other for a while, but I hardly paid them much thought, I was still in awe of the flickering light the woman shone from the tip of her finger.

Was that…Magic? That was definitely magic. 

But magic doesn’t exist in my world which means this is definitely another world.

“What should we name her?” The man in glasses asked.

There’s no denying it I`ve been reincarnated!!

“I`d like her to always be happy, and it looks like she’s got a fondness for magic,” The blonde woman giggled, “so how about we name her Elea after the god of joy and prosperity.”

Elea what kind of name is that?

“Elea…I like it!” he exclaimed.

“That’s a great name, I`m very happy for you both, but could you keep it down sir, they are other patients here, and you should let your wife and the baby get some rest as well.” The nurse added.

He left.

Later the three of us traveled by car to our current home, honestly—I would have preferred it if we traveled by dragon instead, or something more magical.

“William this is your new little sister.” The brunette haired man in glasses said. “Try to get along with her okay.”

At the time William looked eight so hmmm...I suppose I`m technically the older, I was a college student in my old life.

“Mom can I hold her.” He said.

“Sure.” She replied. As she handed me over to the boy, he had an indifferent expression on his face as he carried me.

He scanned me from top to bottom with his ocean blue eyes. 

I could tell they was something special about his eyes it`s almost as though they were staring straight through my soul.

“She`s kind of fat.” He commented.

If you think I`m fat then put me downnn!

Skipping thirteen years into the future, present day Elea [me] is lying on the floor of the supernatural studies club floor rolling around.

“What does this club even do?” I mumbled.

“Don’t ask me you’re the one who formed this club.” Frey sighed.

“Do you know why we formed this club Marine?”

“…...”

 Marine didn’t respond, she simply tossed and turned from atop one of the couches, the one closest to the window, her leg was slightly raised revealing some lingerie.

It`s pink!! She`s wearing pink today!!

“Quit staring and try to remember what exactly this club does.” Frey said with a sigh.

“That`s right!” I got up and said passionately. “We should all go out this weekend.”

“Wait a minute, you still haven’t figured out what this club does have you!?”

“You’re absolutely right Frey, this weekend’s gonna be a whole lot of fun if we hit up a karaoke joint!!”

“I didn’t say anything remotely resembling that!”

“Going out with you two this weekend sounds like fun, I can’t wait.” Marine added.

Marine`s awake? 

Marine`s awake!?

“You`re awake!?” We both yelled out in surprise.

And so when the weekend came around the three of us met up at a popular café. 

The first person to arrive was Frey, she was dressed in a white sundress, and her silver hair was tied back in its usual pony tail.

 she had been standing outside the café.

She looks so dignified.

I ran up to her from across the street the first thing I said to her was.

“Whoa Frey you look stunning.”

“Thanks and you look—ah what the hell are you wearing?”

“Oh this it’s a track suit obviously.” I smiled.

She put her hand over head and let out a loud sigh. 

“Sorry… I meant to say why are you wearing a yellow track suit?”

“I just don’t feel all that safe in a skirt you know.” I shared. 

“I`m a man at heart you know.”

Her face was puzzled...

“Plus unlike you and Marine I don’t have giant—”

SMACK!!

She smacked me.

“What`s wrong with you? You can’t just say stuff like that in public.

She smacked me really hard.

“What do you mean by you’re a man at heart!?

“Yeah what do you mean by that?” Marine added.

Oh it’s Marine.

 Wait Marineee?!

Frey and I both took a step back before we both said in surprise. “Marine?!”

“Marine you`ve been there, the whole time? I asked.

“When did you ge—actually never mind that, why are you wearing a school uniform?” Frey questioned.

“Is that bad?” She replied.

“I guess not.” Frey sighed.

The three of us entered the café.

“I have to use the bathroom.” Frey said as she walked towards the woman`s restrooms.

“Me too.” Marine said trailing behind Frey.

“Marine Frey, both of you be careful.” I said teary eyed saluting at them. “Bathroom stalls can be real dangerous! Be careful soldiers.”

“It`s not like anyone ever died using the bathroom.”

You have no idea Frey.

“Any ways Elea save us a table while we`re gone.” She added.

“Roger that captain Frey.” I saluted.

As I made my way to pay for a table at the counter, a familiar face walked past me, with two ice cream cones in hand, his ocean blue eyes and dark brunette hair were utterly unmistakable.

I reached out my hand to stop him before he walked out the café. 

“Geez William you could at least say hi.”

“Oh it’s you.” He said squinting.

“You don’t have to act so cold Will, I am your little sister...And I have a name you know.”

“I only bother remembering the names of people who`ll be of use to my life.”

"It`s because of that rule you don`t have any friends." I teased.

“Wait...So are you saying I`m not an important part of your life, that’s pretty harsh bro!?”

“Just a joke sis, I remember your stupid name, what was it again—ah Electra.”

Electra!? That doesn’t sound anything like my name!

“Electra Who the hell is that!? Don’t start calling me by the name of a copyrighted super hero from the west, my name is Elea!!”

SMACCKKK!

I slapped his face.

I slapped his face hard.

I slapped his face so hard it left a mark.

“So what are you doing here anyway? You out on a date?... I find it hard to believe any guy would be attracted to a tomboy like you.”

“Something like that but, not with a guy with two girls!!” 

I declared triumphantly.

“I won’t ask.” He said with a dragged out sigh. 

“Just don’t stay out too late okay, they’ve been kidnappings, so be careful.”

“Does big brother actually care?” I teased.

“Not really.” He said as he walked away.

“Is that your brother?” Marine quizzed.

“Yeah he is.”

Wait Marineee?!!

“You need to stop popping out of nowhere like that, and where’s Frey?”

“She`s under a table. As soon as Frey saw him she hid under a table like she`d seen a ghost.”

She must`ve felt too embarrassed to meet my brother. 

So she’s the shy type that’s kinda cuttteee!

"That’s fine we all get people shy every now and then.”

We met up and ordered.

We all ordered ice cream parfaits their delicious I thought. 

We should all be enjoying them but right now...

 But right now I can’t , because something feels different, Frey feels different, I doubt Marine`s noticed but I have.

Marine munched on her parfait, with her razor sharp teeth obliviously.

 Something`s wrong with Frey, but what?

It`s as though Frey`s even more distant now than ever.

We went by a karaoke bar, we`re Marine and I sang and danced on stage, but Frey turned down any invitations we made for her to join us She just watched with a distant glance in her eyes.

We went swimming by a pool but I couldn`t enjoy the fan service, cause Frey looked distant and detached from us.

The day`s nearly done. 

The sun began to set it was time to end our little weekend hang out session.

We decided to end it with a walk around the city, just the three of us.

“I think I can see the sea from here.” Marine said softly, her crimson red eyes lit up. 

“Follow me.”

Bang!

Pop!

Heart shaped fireworks faintly lit up the sky.

Marine ran straight ahead past a whole crowd of people

I grabbed Frey’s hand and chased after her.

Knowing Marine whatever it is that’s caught her eye, it might just cheer up Frey.

The thought brought a smile to my face as we chased after her.

Marine finally stopped and we caught up to her.

We stopped by a spot where the view of the sea was most clear.

The dazzling view of the setting suns light glittering on the surface of the sea was quite the sight to behold.

It’s gorgeous.

“It’s pretty.” Frey whispered under her lips.

I nearly said ‘you are’

We were both fixed on the stunning view, unable to look away when Frey said something unthinkable.

“I don’t think I should come by the club room, or see you two anymore; I think that would probably be for the best.”

“You’re joking aren’t you?”

“No I`m serious."

"I nearly forgot just how bad a person I am, but I was reminded of that, today at the café!”

“At the café ?! What are you talking about, you aren’t making any sense?!”

“Every person who’s ever met me would probably be happier if they hadn’t!! Whether they know it or not...My sister included!” 

She said something I didn’t understand.

That’s when it happened.

As the two of us we`re arguing it happened.

“Get out of there!!!” 

A golden haired woman in a blue uniform yelled, as she raced past crowds of people at superhuman speeds to get to us.

Her green snake like eyes signaled danger as she approached. 

The first to react was Marine shoving both Frey and I back, the woman in the blue uniform was glaring with frustration at us all.

Frustration at us or herself for not making it in time? I don`t know. 

By the time the woman with snake like eyes was about to get to us it was too late!

 The thing was there I couldn’t see it, but I knew it was there, I couldn’t hear it but I knew it was there, I couldn’t feel it but I knew it was there, I couldn`t sense it`s presence but I knew it was there.

It swallowed us all up in an instant.

It all went black and quiet, I think I passed out.

The first thing I saw when I awoke was Frey`s laps.

I just got lap pillow achievement unlocked!

I`m lying in them...I really am it`s actually pretty comfortable.

“Hey where’s Marine?”

“She got separated from us.” Frey said tilting her head above me.

“Where are we?”

“Our worst possible nightmare that`s where .”
