Thirty seven.

Recap: " Welcome." The leader greeted and my jaw dropped.

No way!

Iris's POV.

" You guys are seeing her too…right?" I asked the guardians and they nodded also in awe of the woman that stood in front of us.

" Elder Moira?!" Seb breathed out and she smiled.

" I am not Moira. My name is Malika. I am the leader of this establishment."

" Okay who else finds it freaky that she looks just like Moira?" I muttered and the guardians and Seb raised their hands.

" What is this place?"

" This is a home for banished magicians. We take in anyone who has been banished for the wrong reasons."

" So you don't believe in ' The Great Leader'?" Seb asked.

" Sebastien Romero." The Malika said and smiled.

" She knows my name!" Seb whisper yelled to me.

" Of course I do. Everyone heard of your story. And also of you and your sister's ' betrayal'." Malika stated.

" We wanted to find you but fate had other plans. You found the Elysian."

" Are you guys okay there?, Ara said your confusion level has risen." Rose said.

" We're fine. But you are not going to believe what's going on here."

" What?"

" We're with the leader and she looks so much like Moira!"

" Wow!"

" I gotta go."

" How and why are you part of them?" Seb asked Carmen.

" My parents were murdered by other magicians when I was younger. Malika raised me and she taught me everything I know. I climbed up the ranks very easily and I began to use my position to help banished magicians and to leak information to the other supernaturals in our fraction."

" So you were the one that supplied us with info!" I said and he nodded.

" Why did you send us the message?" Seb asked.

" Because we need your help. The other magicians are getting closer to finding out about us. This camp I mean."

" So you want us to help you get out of here?"

" Yes." Malika replied.

" Where are we going to accommodate you?!, There are over a 150 magicians here!" I exclaimed.

" Please Elysian, you're our only hope." Carmen pleaded and I sighed.

" Mr T is going to kill me." I muttered under my breath.

" Alright, gather everyone. We're going to Crest Hill." I said to Malika and she nodded. She sent Carmen and another magician to do so while I waited with my warriors.

" Mr T is going to kill you." Cole stated and I sighed.

" Don't you think I know that?!" I exclaimed rubbing my forehead.

" We're ready Elysian." Carmen said.

We followed him to the entrance of the village where the magicians stood.

" How many of you are there?"

" 165 including Malika and myself."

" This is going to take a lot from us." Seb sighed as we all held hands.

" Meet us upfront." I said to Rose.

Seb and I teleported them to the courtyard in the school and we were both tired. I leaned on Cole for support as I couldn't stand alone.

I saw Mr T standing with his head in his hands and I cringed.

" Iris." He sighed and I smiled at him sheepishly.

" She is not a fault, we convinced her to bring us with her." Malika said stepping forward.

Mr T was just as shocked as I was when I first saw her.

" You weren't kidding when you said she looks just like Elder Moira." Rose said and I smirked.

" Told ya."

" Speaking of Elder Moira, where is she?, I want to see the look on her face when she sees Malika."

As if on cue, Elder Moira and the other Elders came out of the school and were shocked to see the amount of people standing in the courtyard.

" What is going on here?!" Elder Moira exclaimed then she froze when she saw Malika.

" Malika?"

" Moira?" Malika called.

" What's going on?" Rose asked me.

" Don't look at me!, I'm just as confused as you are!"

Elder Moira and Malika hugged with tears flowing down their cheeks.

" I thought you were dead. They killed mother." Elder Moira said.

" I escaped before they could harm me." Malika said.

" I'm sorry to interrupt the family reunion but what-how do you know each other?" I asked.

" Malika is my twin sister." Elder Moira said and we all gasped.

" You had a twin sister that we didn't know of?" Elder Nimah asked with a hurt expression on her face.

" I'm sorry for not telling you but I thought she was dead." Elder Moira replied.

" Wait, if you're an all elementist, how is she a magician?" Rose asked and Malika smiled.

" Our father was an all elementist and our mother was a magician. The each chose the child that corresponded to their powers. I went with our mother while Moira went with our father."

" But a few years later, the other magicians found out about our mother having an affair with an elementist and they killed her. I thought they had killed Malika too."

" But I had escaped. I was raised by an old magician that was considered deranged. He was a very powerful man but nobody knew about it. He helped a lot of maltreated and banished magicians and when he died, I took over."

She gestured to all the magicians standing behind and spoke,

" These are all the people we have helped."

" We will be honoured to take you in." Mr T said and I grinned.

He then gave me a look that said ' You're not off the hook yet.'

" Well that was a happy reunion."
