(M had shifted Tyler down next to North before he fell. Sorry if that was unclear)
M was shaking violently, darkness pressing in at the corners of his eyes, and everything that had color was morphing slowly… into each other… he heard Tyler say something… but didn't register it…
Come join us, M. A woman's voice purred gently.
M groggily looked over and saw Xanthe, a tall blonde with dark blue eyes, smiling. I've really missed you. She hugged him.
"I've missed you too, Xanthe." He breathed back and hugging her back.
C'mon, everyone's waiting for you.
"Okay, I'm coming…" He followed her down a winding path…
Tyler felt North's pulse slow incredibly fast. "M! SHE'S DYING!" He shouted.
M didn't notice, though. Xanthe's hand was warm in his. He didn't want to leave her again… Not ever… He felt himself being led down the path, a cool breeze stirred his hair. Was he wearing a tie? Yes, he was. So comfortable… in business casual…
They're almost here. You'll be able to let go, soon… It's so good to see you… Everyone will be so happy.
"After what I did?" He heard himself ask child-like.
Yes. Absolutely. They're your family, after all. She laughed an achingly familiar laugh. It'll be so good to join them again…
Neo appeared with a crack! He picked up North and grabbed Tyler, and disappeared.
North felt herself stumbling down a down a dark path, M and Tyler nowhere to be seen. "M..Help..me." She said desperately.
She felt herself getting tapped by something cold. "North, wake up. Wake up, dear." Neo was looming over her, looking irritated yet concerned.
There was a beautiful clearing. It was full of people sitting nonchalantly around, and they rose upon M and Xanthe's entree.
"No! No M can't die! Bring him back!" She screamed at Neo.
"I couldn't bring three back at a time, North, I'm sorry."
A broad-shouldered brunet man walked over and put his hand out. M took it.
"Cameron."
Cameron smiled his exceptionally handsome smile. That's me! It's great to see you again! Also, there's someone who wants to see you. He swept Xanthe out of the way, and there stood Pax, looking tear-stricken but incredibly happy to see M.
M, He croaked. I– He collapsed into tears, and M rushed over and hugged him.
"Kill me Neo! I just want..to die.." She sobbed.
Neo looked at Tyler. "What happened?"
Pax sobbed into M's chest, as M hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much."
I missed you too…
(My mom's kicking me off at 8, so I'd think you'd like to know that)
"M fell from a tree and I guess it killed him and almost killed her." Tyler said gesturing to North who was muttering. "Kill me..kill..me" quietly.
(My mom's kicking me off at 8, so I'd think you'd like to know that)
(ok mine probably will to soon)
Neo looked down at her. "I can't kill you."
Pax pulled away from M and grabbed one of his hands. It wasn't quite as real as he thought, but it was quite warm. You have to go back.
"What? And leave you all?"
You'd be leaving someone who still needs you. You'll see us all again really soon.
"What tells you that?"
Neo. And, he told you, you needed to wait until North can fulfill what you need her to do.
"But, I don't think I can lose you again."
You haven't lost us. We'll stay here waiting for you forever if we need to. Pax reached up and pulled M down. I love you. He kissed him gently.
M got jerked back into his artificial world of pain feeling worse than he did. He slowly sat up, and looked around. "Tyler? North?"
(My mom's kicking me off at 8, so I'd think you'd like to know that)
(ok mine probably will to soon)
(ok then we'd better hurry and get to flat water xD)
"The pain…" She murmured quietly. Tyler crawled over to North and held her in his lap tears slowly falling down his face. "It's going to be okay..all okay.."
He's okay. Said Pax's voice to Neo.
"Thank you, Pax." Neo murmured.
It's my pleasure.
Neo straightened up and walked over. "He's okay, but in pain. He might pass out again, but in the meantime, North, come here." He beckoned her and stuck his hand out.
Tyler softly nudged North and she crawled over to Neo, shakily getting to her feet.
Neo gently grabbed her hand and hugged her. "Boreí i Orthografía na eínai plíris."
Her pain faded and she felt light and sleepy.
M's pain faded too, to be replaced by heartache. "Good job, Neo." He gently murmured and put a hand over his heart.
North felt herself stumble back. Tyler quickly jumped up and caught her. He picked her up and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "It's better now." He whispered in her ear.
Neo slowly got back up. He'd fallen to his knee because he'd taken the pain for himself. As M's twin, I feel obliged to it. He coughed a couple times and wiped the blood onto his pant leg.
M lie down and stared up at the sky. "I miss all of you so much. Is that really what I wanted the most?" He asked himself but got no response.
North mumbled something that Tyler couldn't quite hear. "What's that?" He asked her leaning down so he could hear her. "I want to see him." She said quietly. Tyler glanced over at Neo. "She wants to see M." He told Neo.
Neo weakly shook his head. "I'm afraid M made a stupid mistake. I can't send either of you back." He looked up at Tyler. "Which is good news to you, I suppose."
"N-no..you..I have to go back.." North stammered, getting up and walking over to Neo.
Neo looked up at her. "Look, go to sleep, and you won't remember any of this. The only thing you'll remember is getting together with Tyler. Tyler will obviously call the same for you. Both of you will be back where you belong."
