5 Double Trouble

"xion, its time to wake up, your play date got canceled. your new friend has come down with the flu" shouts my mom standing by my bedroom door.

[did last night really happen?] i think to myself as i remember the event from the night before.

" mom, where is dad?" i ask as i pull myself out of bed, sliding my feet into my slippers.

"he's at the table eating xion, same as every morning" she replies as she walks away from my room towards the kitchen.

I quickly follow behind her nervously.

As i walk into the kitchen, i see her.

[Elena] i think to myself as i remember her telling me her name last night.

"good morning son, how did you sleep?" asks my father as I sit at my seat at the table.

"i"

"um"

"well I didn't really sleep too good dad" I manage to say as I neevously stare at this beautiful girl sitting in front of me.

***** LATER THAT DAY*****

"xion, do you want to come play with me outside?" i hear as i look up and see Elena standing at the end of my bed.

" yeah, sure" i say as i stand up and we both walk towards the door.

" last one to the tree house is a rotten egg" screams Elena as she takes off running down the hall.

I take off after her as i yell, "Elena, we aren't allowed to run in the house."

she keeps running as she reaches the back door and look back at me.

"3,2,1" she counts down as she opens the door and we both race off into the woods towards the path that leads to the tree house.

[wow, she's fast.] i think as she continues to pull farther and father away from me.

I pick up my pace as i quickly pass her and see the treehouse in my line of sight.

[haha. I won] i scream in my head cockishly

"haha, I won" screams Elena as she zooms past me and jumps up the ladder.

"h-how did you do that" i ask scaredly.

she jumped so high. she didn't even climb the ladder.

"I'm the sword xion, I can do a lot of things" she says to me as her whole body floats up from the floor of the treehouse.

"see, I can do anything" she says.

"wow, can you be invisible too?" i ask excitedly.

"no silly, I can't do that" she laughs.

"see. you can't do anything" i say snarkly.

**** A COUPLE HOURS LATER ****

I've never had a friend before. maybe Elena is my first.

I've been trapped inside the same castle for 5 years. I've only ever left to go to the store with my dads minister.

"xion, want to see something super cool" says elena, breaking me out of thought.

"yes" I reply.

"deja que la Luz brille de la oscuridad" whispers elena as a bright light start appearing around both of us.

"wow, what is this?" i ask.

"i said [let there be light in darkness]" she replies.

"woah, you are super duper cool" i scream as i reach out and touch the light. just as i touch it, the light completely covers my arm.

"this is our sheild xion, this will always protect us. I will always protect us" she says as she stands up.

"but it's time for dinner now." elena says as she starts climbing down the ladder.

"how do you know?" i question.

" i can hear what your mom is thinking" she says as she takes off running towards the path back towards home. her beautiful red hair swaying in the wind behind her.

"wow, you are so cool!" i yell as i take off running behind her.
