Chapter 1: Chase Through The Woods
Emily
I was listening to Cupcake whine. Cupcake was my puppy. Jayden got it for me about 2 or 3 months ago. It's a Golden retriever. I picked her out. I wanted her to be able to do things with everyone else. She can go jog with Mia. She can go hiking or any earth related activated with me. She can also track trails in the woods since she is part bloodhound. She can go swimming with Kevin as well. Cupcake can detect a fire as well, which Jayden has turned into a little game with her.
I named her Cupcake because I love cupcakes as much as I love Cupcake. So why not? She is also trained with a lot of strange tricks.
Right now, she wanted to go outside. She needed to go potty. I wasn't allowed to go outside by myself. I only let her go in the woods because Cupcake likes to run around a little bit before going to the bathroom. I don't understand why they don't let me go by myself because Cupcake has a charm on her collar that activates when one of us are in danger. It allows her to grow big and be resistant to any rays a nighlok may throw at her. I sighed and stood up from my chair.
"Cupcake, want to go outside?" I asked. She barked in response. I snapped the leash on her. We walked to the door and she sat at the door. She knew someone had to be with me when I walk her.
"No Cupcake, just us." I said. I opened the door and we walked outside. I took the leash off of her and let her run out the gate. Every now and then she would check back to see if I was following. I took a seat up against a tree. I watched as Cupcake ran around, in circles. I heard the gate of the Shiba house open. Everyone must be back home. Cupcake looked up at me and started to growl. I looked behind me and saw an arm was about to grab me. I quickly rolled to my side, dodging the arm. The nighlok stepped out. It had some kind of rattle like gun with him. I grabbed my morpher and morphed.
"Cupcake, run home!" I yelled out to my little puppy. She hesitated before running off.
"Are you ready to come home mistress?" The nighlok asked in a threatening way.
"You can't attack me. You all seem to have forgotten that law. No one is allowed to attack the queen. I order you to return to the Netherworld!" I commanded.
"You were never the queen. That wasn't the real ceremony." The nighlok said with a smirk.
"I am not returning! You all ruined my life!" I snapped. He raised his gun at me. I got into a fighting position. I can hear running.
"Emily!" I can hear Jayden shout.
That caught me off guard.
Jayden
We raced to the scene of the battle, which was on the opposite side of the shiba house. When we got there, we saw a younger version of Emily. She wasn't in the same clothes she was in earlier today. She was in a yellow dress with a black sweater.
That wasn't the problem either. She was younger. A lot younger. She was in a crab walk position as the nighlok towered over her. He was about to pick her up. I drew a symbol to send her home. We then began to battle the nighlok.
Emily
I looked around. I was just in some forest earlier. Now I am in some kind of house.
"Hello?" I called out. A man came out.
"Emily? What happened?" The man asked. He approached me. I backed away from him. Mommy told me not to talk to strangers.
"Emily? What's wrong?" The man asked.
"I'm not allowed to talk to strangers. Leave me alone!" I cried out.
"Emily, I am not a stranger. I know your mom. How old are you?" The guy asked.
"4." I replied.
"What is the last thing you remember?" The man asked.
"I was in my car on my way to my sisters graduation." I said.
"Follow me please. Do you want to talk to your mother and Rena?" The man asked.
"Yes please." I said. The man lead me to his office like room. He picked up the phone and started to dial.
"Hello, Rena? Yes, this is Ji. We seem to have a little problem with Emily. She thinks she's four years old. She would like to speak with you." He handed the phone to me.
"Emily?" Rena asked.
"Rena, I'm scared. I want mommy." I said.
"It's okay Emily. Just listen to Ji and the rangers. I will be over shortly. Emily, don't trust the nighlok. I will be there in an hour, okay Emmy?" She said.
"Okay. Then can we go home and play?" I asked.
"No. We will stay there and play." She said.
"I love you Rena." I said.
"I love you too Emily. Just listen to Ji. He will keep you safe." She said. Ji took the phone and hung up.
"Do you have crackers?" I asked. The man nodded.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Ji. Now, would you like some crackers?" He asked. I nodded. He took my hand and lead me to the kitchen. He sat me down and went into the cabinet. He pulled out some crackers.
"Would you like some cheese on them?" He asked.
"No thank you." I said. He then handed me a plate with 5 crackers on it. I began to eat them happily.
