8:45 PM

"Uh, Mom?" Mary said to Aunt Cassie. "Where's Layla at? I've been looking everywhere fo her." Aunt Cassie replied, "I needed her to go get more pet food from the store, on her bike." Why, Mom? I thought we had pet food?" Mary walked over to her mother. She replied:

"You'll see."

9:00 PM

Layla was on her way back home ,the stuff she got from the store in her backpack.

She was just passing the road that leads to where her house is located at.

"Huh, this ain't so bad after all"

She thought to herself.

"I wonder what Aunt Cassie and Mary are doing? Mary's probably worring as usual, that or she's sneaking my Nintendo Switch into her room to play MarioKart8 Deluxe. Likely the former."

Layla drove her bike/scooter into the driveway and took off her helmet. She put her backpack inside the house and then stepped outside.

"Sometimes I wonder what my parents were like. This silver locket is all I have. of them, as well as this strange blue gem in it. Maybe I should ..."

Layla heard a strange noise, and then turned around.

But it wasn't either her aunt or cousin.

It was a girl. She didn't get a good look at her, because she started to attack Layla with diamond projectiles. Layla hid behind a tree and opened her necklace, and thought :

"Maybe I should take off my locket"

"OH NO, SHE'S COMING!!!!" Layla whispered to herself

"Come out, come out wherever you are, little girl." said the girl.

Layla hesitated for a second, but then took the necklace off. Then it disappears.

Seconds later, the woman then said,

"I found you!"

,and was about to attack Layla when.. Layla deflected the attack, in the process of doing so causing a blast the size of a nuclear explosion. (Luckily no damage was done.) The woman teleported away.

Layla then passed out.

Everything went black.

LATER...

"Mary, get Layla for me!"

"Why?"

"It isn't safe here anymore!"

"Pack your bags, we're going home."

"But first ,get your cousin!"

"This is Cassandra Morrison, they found her and her power's unlocked."

"Is she alive?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to bring her to the Mansion?"

"Yes, and with my daughter, Mary."

"Good, that girl is the key."
