Twelve
I paused, "Joshiah, let me do something quick"
"Can't it wait, Jedi?" Joshiah called back, still moving at a quick pace, "We need to get him to the infirmary"
"Yes, about that," I said, I waved my hand and Cole floated up, a considerable amount so Joshiah would notice.
Joshiah gaped at me, "So telekinesis... We can get there faster"
I nodded, took him long enough.
Honestly though, I had no idea that I could do it, sure it has always been my favorite power for the most part, expect for maybe one time that I liked telepathy.
It was an accident that I discovered it.
Shortly after arriving back, I realized that certain things would float if I consistently looked at it or I pointed at it.
Obviously, floating things here are no surprise, there are others with telekinesis in Camp Cypress. But I really didn't expect that I would be one of them.
Now thinking about it, it probably explains why I didn't die from the fall off the tree back at the battle.
"Oi, mate," Joshiah waved at me, "Are we gonna get goin' or....?"
"Yes, we are going to get him there"
Then we started to run, with Cole following us, levitated by my sub-power, I guess it is called.
"Nurse Betty!" Joshiah called as he opened the door to the infirmary, "We got someone injured!"
I have never been in the infirmary, not even once, since I don't get sick or hurt that often, not even after the battle.
Nurse Betty was a woman in her twenties, black hair with red glasses, average height. I suppose I do recognize her from the opening announcements.
She worked efficiently and quickly from what I could tell, but it also seemed that she had no powers of her own, as it would be way easier if she could just heal the injured person.
She did her best with no magic, but honestly, it might not be enough.
Thankfully, she did let us stay, and watch over Cole.
This was a stranger that was injured, a stranger that I've never noticed. What if it was someone else? Like Finn or one of the more annoying friends I had?
Sure, they are annoying, but they're still friends.
I hope.
Annie and Star burst into the room, also yelling.
"Injured person! Uhhh... Help us?"
At first glance, it seemed like a random person, after all, you could barely tell by the blood. But after a longer look...
Erica what have you done.
Finn is never going to forgive me if something happens to her, he will hunt us down and probably end us.
Nurse Betty went to work as we sat, waiting for a miracle.
Storm clouds gathered, and thunder came down, and along came the rain.
Joshiah was pale, not saying anything, but silently watching Cole's irregular breathing. Annie wasn't much better, she clung onto Star and I.
I really did have the urge to tell her that her grip did hurt.
But I thought better of it.

"Ah... Well, hello" I smiled as Erica opened her eyes, "I'm Link, but I suppose you already know?"
"Oh... Where am I?"
"First question you ask isn't it?" I chuckle as I waved around, "This is the Mindscape as I call it... or maybe the Void."
"This is your mind, it's made of important places and memories you've collected, and I'm here"
"There are lists of things; important people, stories, and even things you don't know"
"Why am I here?"
"You've actually been here for a while, a couple hours or so" I smiled innocently, "You've been knocked out, and will wake up in the infirmary"
"Cole is also with you, he's also been knocked out. Although it was by someone that looked rather like you, so he might be a little scared at first"
"Go rest," I pointed to a couch that wasn't there before, "Get some rest and I'll make sure nothing bad happens..."
"...Alright..."
She did, and soon after fell asleep.
"Heheh," I chuckled, "It's my turn to take the reins and..."
I looked back as I disappeared from the Mindscape.
"It's your turn to be the passenger"

I opened my eyes again, waking up to a white scenery. The infirmary. I opened one eye sneakily, that Jedi boy, Star, and Annie, I believe. Also a person that was named Joshiah.
Of course, of course.
I faked a coughing fit, and opened my eyes fully this time.
"Erica!" Annie smiled with relief, "You're awake!"
"My head hurts, what happened?" I asked, concealing my smile beneath a facade of confusion, "Where...Where am I?"
"You're at the infirmary," Jedi explained, "Star and Annie found you at the cabin, bleeding out"
Of course they did.
"Oh..." I said slowly, "I don't remember that..."
"Take your time," Star shrugged, looking slightly less distressed, "But don't die on us just yet"
"Obviously not," I said pointing at myself, "I'm hard to kill"
They laughed, although it might have been a bit forced. I smiled inwardly, maybe this was going to be easier than I thought.
"Also, we haven't really talked about Finn, in a while, you guys think we can still find him?" I pulled up my worried voice, "And Annie, about that book you found..."
"We probably can find Finn if-" Jedi slapped his hand over Annie mouth as she tried to continue, he jerked his head at Joshiah, which he saw.
Joshiah nodded, and then left the room without a word.
"As I was saying before someone literally shut me up," Annie said, glancing at Jedi, "We can probably find Finn, if we: a) somehow create a portal and figure out which world he is in, b) get in touch with him somehow or c) Just hope that he somehow finds his way back to us"
"There's a lot of 'somehow...'s in those plans" Star pointed out, "but I still support you anyways"
"There's also a lot of 'what if...'s," Jedi pointed out, "Every step, something can go wrong"
"That's why I suggest to investigate the book first," Annie continued, "It's one of the characters of the fairytale's journal, and maybe, just maybe, it can tell us more about magic and the different powers"
"Where is it anyways?" I jumped in, not wanting to seem out of character.
"Uhhh... That's the problem," Annie said slowly, "...It's gone"
"What!?"
"I swear I didn't lose it on purpose," Annie said, "But it's gone"
"Then what do we do now?" Jedi asked, looking worried, and... scared? "We need to do something that could possibly help us find Finn or find a way to open a portal"
"Well..." Star started, "We can always ask the history professor"
