Chapter 1

"Vicky.."

Sam looked on at her P.E. classmates and envied that they could do so many things. But she sat alone in the corner, watching everyone play especially her crush. Her left side was weaker then a normal human body, and she wore a leg brace to keep herself from tripping. She felt sad as they went back in the locker rooms to change.

"Cheer up!" Her friend, Molly, said during lunch. "It'll get better soon, it's almost winter break... Hey Matt!" Sam looked at her friend through the tears in her eyes.

"Hey girls" He was one of the only guys that would talk to her and didn't make her heart beat fast. "Sam, what's wrong?"

"Nothing..." She muttered.

"Did you hear that Corey was back?" Sam looked at Molly.

"Fifth grade Corey?" Sam was getting her hopes up.

"uh, no..." Molly looked away. "I forgot the other one was a jerk to you... Sorry" Sam laughed.

"It's okay, I'm used to it..." She sat down against the wall when two people, Allan and his girlfriend, Libby walked over.

"Not now" Molly growled at them.

"Are you moping again?" Libby sneered.

"Why can't you get married already?" Sam looked at them with blood thirst eyes.

"Or are you afraid that he's going to break your heart?" Sam got up and pulled her backpack over her shoulder and walked off.

"Ugh... I'm so confused!" She put her books that she didn't need in her locker.

"Sam!" Sam looked up and saw her friend Vicky run over to her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"DID YOU HEAR, DID YOU HEAR, DID YOU HEAR?" Vicky jumped up and down.

"Hear what?" She backed away from her friend's grasp, bumping into smeone. "Oh, sorry!" She looked at the blonde. Oh shoot! She looked at her crush, Logan. But he was on the floor picking up his papers. Sam helped him, and gave it to him.

"Thanks" he said, walking off.

"He's a strange guy, huh?" Vicky looked after him.

"Yeah..." Sam looked at the book pile in his arms. Why is he carrying so many books? She sighed and closed her locker door.

"BUT, anyway, did you hear about the disappearances?" Vicky asked, back on subject.

"Disappearences?" Sam looked at her friend in surprise as they walked.

"Yeah, two girls in two nights in a row..."

"How long ago was this going on?" Sam looked up at the blue sky.

"My mom heard it on the news last night... She told me..." They walked passed Sam's crush, but she wasn't worried right at the moment, she needed to know about the disappearances.

"So... Two girls are missing, from last night and the night before?" Sam walked into the school building, suddenly aware someone was following them. "Wait, don't answer that" She looked at the corner of her eye.

"Brayden..." This was her long time friend, since way back. but they didn't have much time to talk, he had a girlfriend and she had a life to lead...

"Hey Sam" He smiled at her.

"What are you doing here in this wing?" She asked him, knowing that he ate lunch in the opposite wing.

"I was absent yesterday, I thought I'd come and get my homework"

"Oh! That makes since..." Sam said happily to him.

"Well, I'll see you later"

"'Kay!" And that was usually as long as their conversations, unless they were at a band competition.

"You know Brayden?" Vicky asked in surprise.

"Huh? oh yeah, we've been friends for a long time..." Sam looked at the ceiling kind of dreamily.

"Are you walking home today?" Vicky asked, changing the subject.

"Uh, yeah..." Sam said, kind of confused.

"Why don't I give you a ride?" Vicky offered. "We don't want you to go missing" Sam opened the door to her next class.

"I appreciate the offer, but I can't bother your mom like that, she has seven other kids to take care of" Sam said.

"But-" Vicky looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I'll be fine! Remember who you are talking to." Sam winked at Vicky.

Kiana looked at the next target from the rooftop of the school, the girl with the dirty blonde hair was with a firey red head.

Then she saw the boy looking at her, she disappeared to her HQ.

"You seem to be right, that girl does have some power to her... But I don't tyhink she's THE ONE... She doesn't have the confidence..."

"Okay, but something tells me you found something else..." The boy on the throne said.

"I'll give you more information when I have it..." And bowed.

Sam looked both ways before stepping off the sidewalk.

"Sam, wait!" She turned and saw Vicky run towards her.

"Hey Vicky, what's up?"

"Well, you were walking home alone, so I decided to walk with you..." Sam looked at the park's grass.

"Thanks, but you didn't have to do that... I mean, I know how to be safe..." She smiled at her friend to reassure her.

"Sam! When someone looks at you, they think 'she can't do anything' and they'll do something to you" Sam couldn't help but laugh.

"Vick! I might be physically weak, but I have common sense!" Sam defended.

"You can't protect yourself, that's what I mean..."

Sam sighed walked to up to her porch.

"Thanks Vick... See you tomorrow?" Sam asked.

"Yup!" Vicky walked off.

Vicky was happy, her friend was safe at home. She walked passed the park and saw something glow.

"What is that?" She asked herself, walking slowly over there. The glow was black and sadness seems to be the cause.

"You are sad about the disappearances aren't you?" Vicky heard.

"Who's there?" She asked.

"Just look into the hole and feel you sadness grow!"

Logan walked passed the park and saw the black energy stretch to the sky.

"What the-?" he ran to the spot. "Shoot, they got another one... Guys, hurry up!" Logan saw Brayden run over. "What took you so long?" He asked him.

"You try convincing my dad to drop me off here on a father, son day!" He said.

"Where's Corey?" They both turned to the boy and girl that stood behind them.

"He'll be here soon..." Brayden said.

"Great!" Matt rolled his eyes. Molly giggled

"Here he comes!"

Corey ran over.

"Are we ready?" Logan asked. Everyone nodded.

"Power of the Sailor soldiers! Give us the power to transform! To the knights of protection!" Logan yelled.

"Knowledge!" Logan.

"Courage!" Corey.

"Friendship!" Matt

"Happiness!" Molly.

"Generosity!" Brayden.

They all transformed into knight suits, except for Molly, she was wearing a thigh high komono.

"Let's do this!" Knowledge yelled. "Happiness, get ready!"

"Right!" She pulled out a bracelett, she jangled it. "Happiness strike!" The darkness sustained to a level.

"Generosity!"Knowledge barked.

"Right!" Generosity pulled out a saxophone. "Generous... Song!" He started to play the song, pealing to everyone's ears, the darkness got lower.

"Friendship!"

"Okay!" He got out a rifle. "Block Booster Facade!" A shot was fired. The darkness got lower.

"Courage!"

"Courageous fire!" A circle formed around the darkness, shooting fireballs at it.

"Know-it-all sword!" Knowledge pulled out his sword. "Double bladed slash!" The darkness was slashed in half, but knowledge knew it wasn't the end of it.

"You did well..." Four figures appeared in spirit form.

"But our power is weakening..." One of them said.

"You need to find Love, she is your only hope" Another said.

"Easier said then done.." Molly said.

"Her appearance is near... no need to worry" And they disappeared.

The next day, Sam waited for Vicky in front of the school, but she never showed up. Sam was worried. In first period, she slid into a desk and sighed. She had a rough night sleep. She saw the fight in her dreams.

During P.E., it was the mile, and as she was left in the dust as usual, she started to think about the dream. The fight...

"Sam?" She looked to her right and saw Corey up against the fence in his baseball uniform.

"Oh, hey Corey..." She walked to him.

"The mile?" he asked her.

"Yeah..." She sighed. "It always kills me..." She laughed a little.

"Hey, you've gotten better..." he told her. "You look like you weren't expecting me..."

"Huh?" Sam looked at him confused. "Oh, molly said it was some other Corey... Anyway how long have you been watching?"

"I've watched since the mile began..." He explained.

"Oh, hey, what up with uniform? I thought practice was after school?" Sam asked.

"Well-" Just as he was about to explain, a girl ran over.

"Sam, the teacher said to keep running..."

"Okay.." She told the girl. She then turned to Corey. "I'll see ya later?" She asked.

"Yeah! Bye..."

"Bye..." She ran off.

At lunch, Molly fetl guilty leaving Sam on her own, after all, Vicky was gone. But her and Matt needed to go to an emergency meeting.

"What's wrong?" She asked as we got there.

"We can't transform..." Logan said.

"What? You have to be joking..." Molly said in surprise.

"No..." Corey said. "Mars told me herself..."

"Mars?" Molly was confused.

"How can we tell you aren't lieing?" Matt said.

"Are you calling me a liar!" Corey yelled.

"What else would I be calling you?"

Everyone knew that Matt and Corey did not get along, it was only a matter of time before tempers start.

"Everyone calm your tempers..." It was Sailor Mars.

"Mars!" Everyone bowed.

"It is true that you cannot transform, I'm sorry, but we might know who Love is..."

"Who?" Molly looked at her.

"Someone you all know, but I don't know her name, that is the only clue I have, I'm sorry..." And with that, she disappeared.

Screams erupted.

"Thst sounds like it's coming from the quad!" Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Sam looked horrified, her friend Vicky was waving a sword around and not even the security can help. She didn't want to run away, something told her not to.

"What's going on?" Sam looked at her friends... and her crush.

"Guys!' She ran over to them.

"Sam, are you hurt?" Matt asked.

"No. But... Vicky" Sam looked at her friend.

"Sam, that's not Vicky anymore..." Corey gripped her shoulder.

"Watch it!" Corey pulled Sam away from Vicky, she was in tears.

"What is going on?" She asked.

"it's complicated..." Molly said.

"You're just going to have to trust us..." Brayden added.

"Of course I do, you guys are my friends..." She looked at her friends. "And if my friemds trust you... I guess I'll have to too..." she smirked at Logan.

"Good, then jump!" Logan looked at Sam.

"What?" She looked at him.

"Jump!"

"Okay!" Sam jumped and felt two hands on her elbows. It was Corey and Brayden.

"You two protect her..." Logan told them. "Don't let her out of your sight!"

"You can count on us!" Sam looked at Vicky with horrified looks.

"What happened to her?" She couldn't help but ask.

"She was swallowed by the darkness" Corey said.

"Darkness?" Sam looked confused.

"Sam, it's hard to explain everything, do you think you can-"

"Forget everything?" She raised an eyebrow at them.

"Please?"

Sam sighed and looked on at her friend that was creating havoc on the school.

I can't sit back... She thought. I have to help! She looked at Matt, Molly, and Logan trying to fight her. Please!

TBC...
