Epilogue

The days never ended. The days never changed. I lay in my hospital bed staring at the wall or the ceiling. I rarely ate. I couldn't sleep. I didn't talk to anyone. I just read his letter over and over again.

His words, they made sense but left me utterly confused. I wasn't sure if he really loved me like he said. If he did, he would be here every day. He would lie next to me in my bed and held me while I cry. But instead, he chose to leave me. How could someone do that? How could someone love you, but leave you at the same time?

Nothing was making any freaking sense anymore. My injury to my waist made no absolute intellect whatsoever. I don't even know how I got it. Nor do I remember it. What about Chassidy? Why would Ari take her away from me? I understand my destiny to stop Ari and save the universe, blah, blah, blah. But what does Chassidy, my wonderful talking necklace, have to do with any of this?

"Hey," Brandon said in the doorway. "I brought takeout. I know how you hate the hospitals crappy food," he put the bag full of food on the table. The smell of Chinese food was making my mouth water. It was tempting.

I watched him pull up a chair next to my bed. Brandon grabbed everything out of the bag and handed me a plate. It was nice to see him; after all, he was my brother. My only brother.

"Mom told me everything," he said as he started eating.

I kept silent while drinking my liquid medication. How that disgusted me so.

"How she knows about magic and Magix and everything,"

I felt bad for both of us. My mother and father didn't tell us anything. Growing up, he had no idea that such things existed. We had only read it in books and heard stories. It fascinated me so much. I would dream about what my father's incredible and crazy stories of soaring threw the sky, or how he and his friends discovered magical creatures.

But when I think about it, I start to wonder if he was telling us the truth. For all we knew, he probably did all of things he told us. And, as growing up on a planet with no magic of any kind, we believed it. We believed every single thing they said. Even when they told us there were no such things and they were just stories.

"She said that she, dad, and Dave when to the academy as well," his hands were balled into fists. I could feel his pain, weird enough. We had been lied to all of our lives. It killed me inside. I bet it killed Brandon too.

"I should have known," I sighed. "Remember when we told them that we were invited to an academy?"

"Oh yeah," he said. "Mom and Dave screamed at us to know which one,"

"Why do you think they yelled at us?" I moved my hair out of my face.

"I don't know," Brandon said. "I guess they were scared," he guessed.

"Scared about us going?" I asked him. "Something weird is going on, Brandon, and mom and Dave and dad don't want us to find out!" I got out of my bed and opened the curtains, giving the situation some much needed light.

"What are you saying?" Brandon collected our trash from lunch.

"I'm saying that they never wanted to go to Magix," I exhaled. "They never wanted us to know about any of this. The magic, the school, the adventure,"

"It's a theory," he folded his arms. Neither of us liked the sounds of this. Everything was a total lie, but know it was our turn to fix it. Hopefully. Or it was another thing to cross of my oh-so-wonderful to-do list. And boy, that list has so many duties right now.  Just another day of being the universes' worst Purpose ever.
I've never done an epilogue before. But, if you ask me, I like it. It leaves you wanting so much more. Enjoy.
