Malibu: OMG! I'm SOOOO EXCITED! Hi Everyone, It's me! Malibu! This is my second story, Maidens Of the Realms. I'm not a big fan of the title - it was kind of a last-minute thing...- but I'm super excited for the story line! Anyway, I'd like to Introduce some of my newest friends. They'll be helping me Introduce my story! It's Eve (short for Evangeline). Say Hi Eve!

Eve: Hi!

Malibu: And It's Jamie! Say Hi Jamie!

Jamie: Sup.

Malibu: Eve is a Vampire Slayer. (She's actually 1/4 Vampire...ohhhh!) And Jamie is her best friend. He's a Vampire. A full one.

Jamie: Whoo.

Eve: Didn't I kill you?

Jamie: You did. But I'm back! *flashing Fangs*

Malibu: You did kill him, Eve. You did. But I used my SUPER AUTHOR POWERS (this one's for you, Waveripple!) and brought him BACK! MWHAHAHAHAH! *Throws head back and laughs evilly!*

Jamie: Should we be afraid of her?

Eve: *nods* yes, yes we should.

Malibu: Now, my cute little characters, do the disclaimer!

Eve and Jamie: MalibuXinXtheXsunshineXX does NOT own POKEMON! She only owns the idea she came up with in her own little brain!

Malibu: Now on with chapter one! A Storm is Brewing!

~Maidens of the Realms~

Chapter One: A Storm is Brewing.

Two lizards snuck around the forest. They were low to the ground, blending in with the grass high over their heads. Their beady red eyes shifted left to right, left to right, trying to see their next prey. They were deep in conversation.

"Do you think we're going to find anything even slightly tasty out here?" One of the lizards complained. He was deep green in color.

"You never know what comes running into the forest."

"If I have to eat another bunny, I'm going to kill myself."

"You won't have to eat another bunny," The other lizard, this one brown in color, snapped back. He was the color of dead leaves.

"Are you sure? Because I don't see anything better running into our paths. Hell, I don't even see a bunny!"

"Oh, stop complaining!" the brown one rolled its blood-red eyes, "We'll find something."

"I'm sick of animal meat! I want something–" The green one was cut off by a scent blowing through the air. A scent of something human.

Human and delicious.

"See!" The brown one licked his lips in anticipation, "Have I ever steered you wrong?"

"You were right today, brother." The green one agreed, "Now let's go get some food."

The picked up their pace, their noses trying to sniff up all the delicious scent they could.

They came up on four girls with their backs turned toward the lizards. Perfect.

"I call the redhead and the blue-haired one." The green lizard whispered.

"I'll take the brunettes," The brown lizard said, licking his lips, "This will be plenty for tonight."

"Such a pretty dinner." The green lizard started approaching the girls, who were all talking to each other, distracted. "Prettier than we've had in a long time."

The brown one agreed. They approached closer.

Suddenly, one of the brunettes turned around. She had bright, sapphire-colored eyes. Her eyes zeroed in on the lizards. The wind shifted, a new scent coming off of the girls. The brunette raised her hand at the lizards.

"Oh, no!" The brown one screeched, "I know that scent. I know that ring! RETREAT! QUICKLY! RETREAT!"

The lizards tried to take off but suddenly a wall rose out from the ground and blocked their path.

The other brunette had turned around. Her eyes were a bright, fierce, fiery emerald green. The sapphire-eyed brunette spread out her fingers. The lizards were suddenly on fire.

They burned to death.

Once they were dead, burnt crisps, a huge hole opened up in the ground and the burnt lizards fell in. The hole closed up, and the brunettes slapped high fives and turned back to their friends.

The four girls laughed and shook their heads. If you listened closely, you could hear one word being passed around.

"Demons."

Dawn's POV:

I was in a bad mood. So, naturally, it was excessively windy outside. I had woken up that morning sweating – which I hated doing – and I couldn't remember what I had been dreaming out. Not only that, but there was a hair on my head sticking up that I couldn't seem to get to stay down today. I had tried everything to get that damn little hair to stay FLAT, but it just kept jetting up. I let out a long, sharp breath and the papers of all the kid's desks in front of me flew up and sank back down, scattering everywhere.

Mrs. Huckleberry seemed to sense my horrible mood and was not calling on me. Thank God, I didn't know the answers anyway.

There was only one person who didn't know that I was in a horrible mood. And that was the girl who sat next to me in, like, five classes. Leah, a pretty girl with bright red curls and a huge smile who couldn't stand staying silent, was yammering on and on about her weekend, with her boyfriend, Tyler.

The only thing the story was doing for me was reminding me how much I needed a boyfriend. I rested my chin on the palm of my hand, crossing my fingers over my mouth so I didn't yell at her. Ty, the love of Leah's life, was a really nice guy and one of my close friends. But right now, if I heard another word about him, I would seriously break.

"He's just the sweetest thing." She sighed. And I hoped desperately she was done talking.

"That's great." I told her, trying my hardest to smile.

"I know." She sunk back in her seat, looking dreamily out the window. A sharp gust of wind blew the nearest tree branch into the window, making a horrid sound.

Everyone jumped back, scared.

"Oh, calm down everyone," Mrs. Huckleberry cried, "It's just the wind!"

"Wow that was scary!" Leah said, "I've never heard wind make that… chilling a noise!" Leah shivered.

I touched the ring on the ring finger of my right hand, twisting it around. She was right. Wind didn't make that sound normally. The weather was changing. It was changing so quickly and violently that the storm clouds were practically racing each other to get here first. Something was wrong. Because that gust of wind wasn't me.

Something ominous was going on. My bad mood spiraled into a feeling of doom. It had been like this ever since my sixteenth birthday, just weeks before, when hunting season went up. My best friends, May Maple, Leaf Green, and Misty Waterflower, shared a look with me. We nodded.

Demons – strong ones, too, by the looks of that storm – were on their way.

Third Person POV:

One boy, with dark, raven-colored hair, glowing blue eyes, and large, black wings sprouting out of his back with feathers falling out by the dozens; beat his large wings another time. The large, black cloud he was floating over moved a few more miles.

The boy next to him, a boy with short, spikey auburn hair, chocolate colored eyes, dog-like ears sticking out of his head, and five tails, stood on his cloud, running along with the bird-boy.

The third boy stood tall with dark purple hair that hung to his shoulders and over his menacing onyx eyes and fangs protruding out onto his lips. If he opened his mouth, you would be able to see a forked tongue that he stuck out only rarely for a sense of direction. He had his arms crossed over his body, and he looked bored. His storm cloud zipped along, without him even trying.

The last boy had bright green hair, and green eyes. He had a smirk on his face, which was fairly good looking, and long, pointed ears. Sharp fangs and claws like talons glinted in the sunlight. He watched the first two boys' race and, quietly so they wouldn't notice, was trying to beat them. So far, he was winning.

"So, why are we traveling towards that marvelous scent?" The green haired boy asked the purple haired one. The purple haired boy just smirked to himself.

"That scent…that scent means that they're sixteen. Nice and ripe for the picking."

"Mm, I haven't had a good meal in ages!" The raven-haired one rubbed his stomach.

"You just ate a good, big meal yesterday!" The auburn haired one pointed out. His tails twitched.

"Exactly." The raven-haired one look at the auburn haired one like he was insane, "Ages."

"He's always hungry." The purple haired one scowled. "Can we get back to the matter? They're going to know we're what we are. So, do we battle right off, or divide and each go for one of our own?"

"Oh, stop planning!" The auburn haired one shook his head, "I just hope they're pretty. I like a pretty dinner."

"So we're paying with them before we eat them!" The green haired one's eyes glinted. He looked quite happy with that idea.

"Why not?" The purple haired one smirked, "Sounds like fun."

The raven-haired one smiled a bright, cheery smile that looked wrong on his daunting face. "I do like playing with my food."

Dawn's POV:

I couldn't stop twitching. It got this way, sometimes, when some really big thing was coming. Misty Waterflower, a tall, serious, obnoxiously orange-haired girl with elegant jade green eyes and a passion for sports and anything athletic, was trying to calm me, but nothing was working. May Maple, a funny, loud girl with short, brown hair, bright sapphire eyes, and a snub nose, felt nauseous. She sat on the floor by my feet, holding her head between her legs.

"They're strong." She whispered, grunting while holding her stomach, "Really strong."

We sat in the school courtyard, away for the larger population of the school.

"I brought lunch!" Leaf Green, a short, cunning, quiet girl with a big heart came strolling in. She had long brown hair that fell to her waist, and huge, luminescent emerald green eyes that had a certain fire to them. Leaf carried a tray, filled with all our usual lunch orders. I smiled at her. Leaf was too nice.

"Thank you!" I took my salad from her, happy with her choice in dressing. She even got two packets! I like a lot of things in the extremes; music, blasted at full volume, showers, extreme in temperature and length, and salad dressing, extreme in amount.

"No problem!" Leaf replied. She sat down daintily on a large piece of earth, shaped just like a stool. May, unlike her usual 'take-all-food-and-scarf-it-down' way, refused her food. She took the water bottle Leaf got, though, and sipped tentatively out of it.

Misty looked up at the sky, watching the storm clouds race. (A/N: Ha-ha, it's funny because the clouds are seriously racing. LAUGH AND YOU GET COOKIES!) The clouds were above us now, promising rain and making the sky look dark and dreary. They blocked the sun. They made me nervous, those storm clouds. I didn't like the way they stirred the wind. A storm was brewing.

"Demons are here." Misty whispered, her voice remarkably steady, "They're here for us."

Malibu: YAYAYAY! THAT WAS TONS OF FUN! Anyways, I would like to see who can guess what animals the guys are modeled after. Except for Drew. Because I couldn't think of an animal that suits Drew's personality. Super Cookies for anyone who guesses RIGHT ON - and also provides an animal that he/she thinks would best suit Drew's personality! - and regular cookies for anyone who A: Reviews, or B: tells me what animal Drew should be modeled after.

Also, I gave the girls powers. If you can guess what element their powers are based off of (this should be really easy) then you get a SUPER COOKIE! So, DOUBLE SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME COOKIES for anyone that does BOTH the girls AND the boys!

THank you all so much for reading! Don't forget to REVIEW! Thank you!

Love always,

Malibu :D
