CHAPTER1- ARETHOUSA IS MISSING...

"I'm home!" A girl yelled as she entered her house. She shrugged after waiting a few minutes without reply. She flopped on the couch and grabbed for the remote. She turned on the television and changed the channel to the news.

"- Arethousa Ague has been missing for three days. Her friends called yesterday after not seeing her for a while. She is thirteen years old, blond hair, about five feet tall, and during her spare time, she goes to wherever there is water. If anyone knows where she could be or have seen her, call us so we can alert her family of her bearings."A male reporter said.

"Yeah, yeah. A girl's missing- wait, Arethousa?! How can that be?" The girl said, surprised.

Leaving the television on, she ran out of the room and her home.

"Honey? Where did you go?" The girl's mother wondered as soon as the door slammed shut.

The girl saw Arethousa's sister, Marie. "Hey! Where would she be normally?" She inquired as soon as she reached her.

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" Marie replied.

"Arethousa! Where would she be?" The girl responded.

"In some place with a pool or a forest, most likely." Marie stated.

"Thanks Marie." The girl thanked as she ran off again.

"Arethousa, where are you?" She muttered as she started to the nearest forest after searching all the pools. "This isn't really funny, you know."

"She's with Deathra and the guardians of The Siblings.." A voice on the wind said.

"What? Huh. It must be nothing.." She shrugged. (What? Huh. It must be nothing.)

"Go west, young child. Go meet your siblings." Another voice said that seemed to be coming from the tree next to her. (Go west, young child. Go meet your siblings.)

"You are NOT hearing things, Winter. No one is talking but yourself." The girl muttered. Her name seemed to be "Winter". (You are NOT hearing things, Winter. No one is talking but yourself.) ("Winter".)

"Winter, go west! Do NOT disobey!!" A deeper voice said from the direction of the small stream.(Winter, go west! Do NOT disobey!)

"No one's talking, no one's talking... There isn't anyone here so there shouldn't be any voices..." Winter muttered, thinking she was imaging things. (No one's talking, no one's talking... There isn't anyone here so there shouldn't be any voices...)

"HELP!" A scared voice yelled. (HELP!)

"Who's there?" Winter inquired. (Who's there?)

"HELP! J I'M STUCK IN THE RIVER!" The voice replied. (HELP! I'M STUCK IN THE RIVER!)

Winter ran to the river where the voice had came from. "Where are you? I can't see you!" (I can't see you!)

"In the river!" The voice sounded muffled. Bubbles rose to the surface of the river. (In the river!)

"Ah!" Winter saw flailing arms under the water. She jumped in the river, took a deep breath, and dove under to try to save person.

The person was drowning was a slightly older than Winter was now, probably fifteen. The person was a female, black hair, medium tan, about five feet six, golden near-lifeless eyes. She didn't look anything like how most people around would.

Winter hurried. The female was almost at the bottom and the depth of the river was more than twenty meters deep. The life from the female's eyes were beginning to fade.

"Hurry, please..." The female pleaded. (Hurry, please...)

Winter reached the female and grabbed her wrist. She tried to swim up. "Try to swim!" (Try to swim!)

"I don't know how to!" She admitted. (I don't know how to!)

"Kick your legs" Winter said, both running out of air. (Kick your legs!)

The female nodded and kicked, helping them both to get up.

When they did, the female's eyes were a pale gray and her hair was blond.

"Who are you?" Winter asked, not noticing the change of her eyes or hair after a few minutes rest.

"My name is Sistine." She answered, now known as "Sixtine" or Sistine in English. (My name is Sistine Seline.)

"Sistine. Like the chapel? By the way, I'm Winter." Winter said, smiling a bit. (Sistine. Like the chapel? By the way, I'm Winter.)

"Yes, in fact, that's where my parents met. The Vitican city." Sistine responded to Winter's smile by showing her own. (Yes, in fact, that's where my parents met. The Vitican City.)

"So, Sistine, how did you get stuck in the river?" Winter was confused about that part. (So, Sistine, how did you get stuck in the river?)

"About that, well, I was just walking around near it when something pushed me in." Sistine admitted. (About that, well, I was just walking around near it when something pushed me in.)

Winter looked at her questioningly. Then she shook her head.

"Why were you here when I was drowning? Not that I'm not glad or anything. I'm just asking." Sistine wondered. (Why were you here just when I was drowning? Not that I'm not glad or anything. I'm just asking.)

"Well, I was looking for my friend. She's missing and I'm worried about her." Winter stated. (Well, I was looking for my friend. She's missing and I'm worried about her.)

"What's her name? I may be able to help." Sistine suggested. (What's her name? I may be able to help.)

"Her name is Arethousa Ague. Her family came from Greece." Winter said the last part after seeing Sistine wondering about the name. (Her name is Arethousa Ague. Her family came from Greece.)

"How does she look?" (How does she look?)

"Blond hair, about five feet tall, dark blue eyes, thirteen.." (Blond hair, about five feet tall, dark blue eyes, thirteen.)

"Um, sorry, haven't seen her around... Wait.." (Um, sorry, haven't seen her around... Wait..)

"What is it?" (What is it?)

"I think I saw her before three days ago here but just as I was about to talk to her, she disappeared. Then again, I could be wrong. Sorry." (I think I saw her before three days ago here but just as I was about to talk to her, she disappeared. Then again, I could be wrong. Sorry.)

Winter said it was all right and they continued talking about who they were and planned how to find Arethousa.
