TOGETHER AS ONE

Indigo opened his eyes with a splitting headache then looked at Lilith and me, who sat before him.

I gave him a cold stare then said,"It seems like Darlok's sending even newer creatures... what are you?"

"I'm human Felix, I'm your father."

"What?"

"That man is the imposter, some three tree nymphs attacked you then impersonated me to bag up the three of us and take us to Darlok, who seems to be our dad now."

I frowned then punched the table then yelled,"Enough of your lies! Tell the truth!"

"You could read my mind if you wanted, you had been sleeping together with your special blanket, plushie and sucking your thumb for years, without one, the triangle wasn't complete and you'd stay awake all night long."

Lilith burst out laughing and I glared at her as Indigo continued,"And Lilith has been unsuccessfully pressuring Damien to sleep with her for weeks now, yes, I saw you and spoke to him "

She first stopped laughing, glared at her grandpa, then chuckled nervously to me, who was frowning deeply.

Indigo asked,"Need anymore proof?"

"Nope."I said,"Lights out."

He then instantaneously fell asleep...

Alexa was sitting alone on the garden swing when she saw Indigo walking towards her.

She smiled, stood up and greeted him respectfully then asked how she may have been of assistance, then he got a sullen expression on his face...

"Dad, what's wrong?"She asked.

"That monster Darlok sent, he might fool everyone into thinking he is me, but you know I am Indigo, right?"

She hesitated for a second, the thought hadn't bothered her till he asked, then he prompted her again and she slowly nodded, then he whispered in her ear, saying,"Then go and poison their minds like a good daughter."

She looked at him, nodded, then left as her gem began to glow...

I was in the kitchen, grabbing a bite when I saw Alexa taking a knife.

I gently took her hand and asked,"So, who do you want to kill?"

She grinned then said,"You."

I chuckled then the both of us burst out laughing then she said,"I really wish I could know who is my real dad."

"Come on peanut..."I said,"...we already know it's him."

"Whom?"

"Ermm, you know, Indigo... the one that is our step dad and not one of Darlok's monsters."

She looked into my eyes and I instantaneously had a vision, which was weird.

It was scary, like a daymare, it was Alexa, and she had strings attached to her like a marionette, with Indigo above her and controlling her, making her do all sorts of strange contortions with her body as he laughed.

He then did something and she also set out strings from her hands...spider silk, which wrapped around Indigo and myself to do his bidding, then I saw it...the Indigo at the top morphed into a pixie with a green gem on her neck...

I yelled then crashed backwards and Alexa ran to attend to me then I yelled for her to back off.

She seemed hurt and I felt just as much pain, but I knew what I saw...right? I wasn't used to having visions, that was Alexa's, Lilith's, Jessica's, Nicky's and Alek's thing, not mine.

She began to cry and I stood up to attend to her when I felt an intimidating and concealing aura around her.

I then grabbed her by the neck and she screamed as my gem glowed blue grey.

My mom and Anneliese were able to pull us apart and she cried in my mom's arms as Anneliese yelled at me, I just glared at her and left, something was wrong.

My mom said it would be okay but Alexa said she wanted to see the monster that made her brother do that to her and they agreed and she was even left alone with him.

Indigo looked at Alexa and before he could speak, she said,"Dad, I know it's you."

"Really?"

"Yes, but no one else believes me, I need you to do something for me."

"Anything..."

She grinned as she had taken control of his mind, then said,"Let's go to our father..."

***

I lay on my bed, stirring as I couldn't sleep, my gem was glowing a pale blue grey and the nightmares just wouldn't stop.

I jumped awake when it was enough then looked at my watch, I had only been in bed thirty minutes.

I groaned angrily, Anneliese wasn't there to comfort me as she was mad at me for what I did to Alexa, I knew it was a little extreme, but that was the first thing that came to my mind and I didn't know why.

I then thought,"Yo gem, do you have any extra wisdom you could spare me?"

"I have already told you all you need to know."

"What?! That my sister is a puppet?! Well how on Earth am I supposed to know which Indigo is which or how to save her?!"

"How did you use to break other's mind control connections?"

"I don't know I...just...gave them an even bigger message..."

I ran to Alexa's room and realized she wasn't there and Curtis definitely didn't want to see me.

I searched everywhere for her but realized she was missing...with the prisoner, of course he was the imposter, he got the fact wrong, it was a square, I couldn't sleep without my special blanket, plushie, sucking my thumb and Alex by my side, chew on that for a minute.

I had to find them when I saw two glowing green eyes at the end of the dark hallway.

I made electric currents flow through the lights to give them power then saw it was just two leaves...since when did leaves glow? And levitate in one place like that?

I shook it off then the moment I turned, I jumped backwards as I saw Indigo standing there...with Indigo and Alexa behind him.

I widened my eyes as the Indigo behind said,"Father doesn't want us to come alone, he wants the four of us together..."
