Tmp. Tmp. Tmp.

She quietly, but quickly walked down the hallway headed to her locker. It was going to be a long day. She could tell just by looking outside again to see the snow falling gently to the ground.

'I hate this. It's times like this that make me want to stay at home and sleep,' she thought setting her stuff down next to her locker before opening it.

She heard the usual people coming through the doors to her left, and reached into her bag to grab her books. When she stood back up to put them away, she saw, from the corner of her eye, somebody stop in mid step. She quickly placed the books in the locker before looking around her to see the couple in their usual spot by the corner, frozen in place.

The male was smiling and seemed like he had just been about to lean against the wall, while his girlfriend stood frozen holding his hand, a smile plastered on her face.

In the next instant, hands shot out of her locker through a haze at the opening. The hands grabbed the outside of the locker and pulled the figure out of the haze. It was a male. He had long black hair and wore a strange type of armor. When he stepped gently onto the floor and looked at her, her eyes, unknowing to her, changed to violet and began to glow.

She had stepped away from the locker, headed toward the student parking lot when he spoke.

"Lord Hades would like for you to be by his side," the knight said taking a few steps toward her, slowly.

She quickly turned around and ran for it. She headed for the gym, hoping the doors were unlocked and open.

The knight summoned help before chasing after her, having the newly arrived knights split up to look for her.

She remained calm and hid her presence. She was behind the bleachers, moving quietly to the other end of the gym to the doors that leading out to the parking lot.

She stopped in the middle and felt around for the knights' presences. She hid a little better when a knight got close and looked behind the bleachers to see if she was hiding.

After a few minutes, he left and went to check the girls' locker room.

She took that time to rush out from behind the bleachers and out into the parking lot. She quickly looked around, and dashed for her car. As soon as she passed the corner before she could get to her car, a pair of hands shot out and grabbed her.

One hand lay over her mouth; the other was wrapped around her arms and waist.

Thinking quickly, she threw him over her shoulder, making the unknown knight lose his balance and land head first into the concrete, instantly knocking him out.

She ran the short distance to her car, only to be grabbed from behind, and her arms were pulled back behind her.

"Sorry, but Lord Hades told us that getting you was top priority. Though no harm shall come to you," the knight from before said carrying her back to her locker.

The other knights were gathered and went ahead into the haze, before the knight holding her jumped in.

'Drea! Help me!' she thought as she disappeared in the haze.

During that time…

A girl with short brown hair stood in a yellow T-shirt and black pants, with a headset over her right ear.

"Hello, welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" she asked into the headset's microphone.

She followed through with the customer's order and moved on to the next person's.

The other people in the restaurant were loud and really beginning to annoy her, but she tried her best to ignore them.

"Drea! Move your ass! Don't get backed up!" her blonde haired supervisor yelled at her over the sounds of the other workers.

Before Drea could reply, everything got quiet, and she looked around quickly, noticing that everything was still and frozen in place.

Drea got a chill, but remained calm. She walked over to her supervisor, noticing that she had a sneer on her face. She quickly smacked her hard, surprised that the frozen form never moved at all.

She suddenly heard a voice ring out in her mind.

'Drea! Help me!' the voice yelled.

"Mystearica?!" she called back, but got no reply.
