I was shaking as I walked back to camp. Izzy was talking to Carmen about the knife like it was a stuffed animal. Carmen's eyes widened and she gave me a look like /what were you thinking?!/, but I just ignored it. "Hey, you good?" Jake said, is forehead creasing. "I-... no, I'm not good." I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder as he pulled me into a hug. "I saw Syd." Everyone looked at me. Jake held me at arm's length. "You saw Syd. Sydney Beth Jackson. Your evil twin." Jake's eyes widened. "Wow." He whistled. "Hold up, did she try to kill Izzy?" Carmen put a protective arm around Izzy. "Uh, yeah, probably. You two were close though, right?" I asked Izzy. "Yep." I could see fear rippling through them. Izzy was changing her arm into a bear arm and back again. Precious gems popped up beneath Carmen. Lizzy's hair was on fire, so I summoned water to put it out. (No, not from the Styx) Electric sparks flew around Jake. A cloud of sweet smelling essence wavered around Candice. And me, well, I glowed. "Which also means she's here in the Underworld. With us. Currently." My voice was quiet. Jake kissed me and whispered, "We'll get through this. Together."
