"So this is the book." Hayner said as he examined the book. Next to him was Pence, reading the song. "How old was he last night? Well, I mean in your dream?" Pence asked. "He looked about 20 but he's short." Emily replied, "He seems like the quiet type. Apparently he likes to read and write." Hayner looked up and held the book up. "He's also interested in levitation and illusion. He's a good writer." "Do you remember anything else?" Pence asked Emily. "No. Did an author live around here?" Pence shrugged, and Hayner said. "Let's ask your mom."

After asking her mom, who said no, Emily, Hayner, and Pence walked to the Station and climbed to the top of the tower. "So that was pointless. What do we do next?" Pence asked, his feet hanging off the edge of the building. "You sleep over at my house so we can look for more information about the boy." Emily said, pretending to push Hayner off the edge. Hayner screamed, and fell backwards onto the ledge. Pence and Emily were laughing as Hayner glared at them, making them laugh even harder.

Later that day, at Emily's house

"Wake us up as soon as you wake up. Don't do anything without us." Hayner said to Emily as they settled into their sleeping bags. "Hayner, we won't be able to wake you up. You sleep like a log." Emily teased Hayner, and then ducked as he threw a pillow at her. "Oh, yeah. I forgot to ask you at school. How come you hit me? You wouldn't have noticed if we waved our hands in front of your face. How'd you know if I painted on you? Pence could've been the one who painted on you." Hayner asked Emily. She yawned and said, "I'm tired. Let's go to bed. If we have to, Pence and I will pour water on you to get you to wake up. Right, Pence? Pence?" Emily and Hayner looked at Pence, who was fast asleep in his sleeping bag. Emily smiled and closed her eyes.

"What is so special about the girl? Why not one of the boys?" Xigbar pestered Xemnas as they walked down the hall. Xemnas pulled his hood off and looked at Xigbar. "For the last time, she has a strong heart. She is looking for someone but I can't found out whom." Saïx joined them as they walked down yet another hall. "Zexion seems to disappear more often now. I wonder if he knows anything." Saïx hinted Xemnas. "Very well, you may try to get some information out of him. Just don't hurt him a lot. We still need him."

Emily looked around for the boy, finding him was floating in the air. "Who are you?" She asked him. He smiled and said, "That is not for you to know yet. I'm going to teach you how to levitate today." As the lesson went on, Emily asked, "Will I be able to do this in the real world?" The boy shuck his head, "No, but very soon you will." "What do you mean?" Emily asked, surprised. "You will find out soon enough." The boy faded away…

Emily woke up, felling confused. "Hayner? Pence? Wake up." "Whattimeisit??" Hayner asked half awake. "4:00 am. I had another dream." Sitting up, Hayner poked Pence and said, "Get up sleepy. Emily had a dream." Pence groaned and sat up. "What did he tell you this time?" Hayner asked. "Well, um…, he kinda taught me how to levitate." "Really!! Show us!" Pence said excitedly. "I can't. It doesn't work in real life. The boy said I would be able to soon. Does he mean… I'm going to die?" Emily said, suddenly panicking. "Whoa. Slow down." Hayner said. "Maybe he meant you aren't strong enough yet." Pence said, then prepared to duck but Emily didn't throw anything at him. "Let's go back to sleep." She said.

"Let me go Saïx. I don't know who you're talking about!" Zexion tried to get away, but Saïx grabbed his are. "We know you know who she is. Maybe this will make you tell us that you know her." Saïx bit Zexion's arm as he tried to get away. Zexion yelped, then punched Saïx in the face. "You little brat!" Saïx screamed as Zexion fled to his room. Looking at his arm, Zexion's face turned pale as he watched his blood drip onto the floor. Saïx had gone slightly berserk when he bit him and his fangs had pierced deep holes. Walking into his bathroom Zexion cursed quietly and washed his arm.

Emily, Hayner, and Pence looked for 2 days for any information about the boy. "This isn't helping. Let's give up." Hayner said. "Emily, we've looked and looked but we can't find him." Pence said. Emily was about to give up when they heard a voice. "So you're giving up. That's a pity." Turning around, the trio saw a man in a black cloak with his hood up. "Who are you?" Emily asked. "Are you the boy?" The man pulled his hood down, revealing his long silver and black hair which was up in a pony-tail. "Nope. You've never met me. Who are you?" He asked. "Xigbar!!" Another man in a black cloak appeared. "Enough. This will go quickly if you work with us." He said to her. "What do you want with her?" Hayner asked, standing in front of Emily. "Foolish boy, you can do nothing to stop us." "Saïx, let's get them now." Xigbar shouted as he ran towards the 3 kids.

Xigbar dodged Hayner as he tried to tackle him, then kicked Hayner, making him fly into a brick building. Pence said to Emily, "Run!" "We can't leave Hayner!" Emily said. Suddenly she had an idea. "If I go with you, will you promise not to hurt my friends?" Xigbar stopped, surprised. "Xigbar, time to go." Saïx said as he opened a portal and dragged Xigbar in. The portal closed and the 2 men disappeared.

Emily ran to Hayner, who was crying softly. "Hayner what's wrong?" Emily asked him. Faintly he said, "I think my arm is broken. I can't move it." Pence ran over when Emily called him. "Run and get Hayner 's parents. His arm is broken." Pence nodded than sprinted down the alley. After he was gone, Emily said to Hayner, "You're going to be all right. I have a surprise for you." Hayner looked at her as she kissed him on the lips softly. "Thanks for trying to protect me." Hayner blushed and said, "It didn't really help. I…" He stopped as she kissed him again. "Still, thanks." Emily sat down by him and they waited for Brad to come back.

"Xigbar, you idiot. You should have waited for Xemnas. He's going to kill us both." Saix glared at Xigbar. "Saix, Xigbar. You do realize you didn't have my permission to hurt them. But, you made the girls heart stronger. We will accept her 2 days." Xemnas said after the 2 men sat down. Xigbar smiled at Xemnas and shot a look at Saix that said In your face!! Saix glared at him then walked out of the room.

"Hayner are you ok?" Emily asked as he stretched his arm. "Yeah, I got I have control over it now." Pence was gulping down a bottle of water. "Who were those people?" Emily asked. "I've never seen them before." "They obviously know you." Pence said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow. I gotta go." Emily stood up. "Me too. We'll see you tomorrow." Pence left, but Emily went over to Hayner and kissed him on the cheek. "See you tomorrow." Hayner blushed as Emily walked out of his room.

2 days later

After school, Emily and Hayner walked home together, since they lived of the same street, after talking to Pence, who said he had to run an errand. A few hours later, they went looking for Pence, who they found unconscious in the same alley the men attacked them in. Pence was unconscious for 1 more day, and then woke up to see Emily and Hayner in sleeping bags on the floor. "So you decided to fall asleep and make me get up and get a glass of water." Pence teased as they woke up and they slide out of their sleeping bags. "You final decide to get up after 2 days. We thought you were dead." Emily said. "Yeah, Emily started crying." Hayner said and Emily punched him. "I've been out cold for 2 days? It feels like I've only been out for an hour." Pence sat up, then grimaced. His head hurt.

"You should relax for a while. Unfortunate for us, you get to stay home for 2 more days." Hayner said and Pence grinned. "Ouch. That hurt, too." Emily looked at him and said, "Well, no duh. You kinda had a bruise the size of a baseball on your head when we found you. Do you know who hurt you?" Pence thought, than said, "No. I wasn't looking when they hit me on the head. I felt pain and I was K.O." Pence lied down and Emily looked at the door, then at Hayner. "We should go. We'll come over tomorrow so you don't die of boredom." "Yeah. See ya tomorrow." Pence said, and then fell into a dreamless sleep.

As Emily and Hayner walked down to their houses, Emily said to Hayner, "Let's go check out the alley. I want to see what anyone touched anything." Zac look uncertain. "Okay, but only if we go really quickly." Emily, ran ahead, then waited for Hayner as he walked down the alley. "So, the girl came. Let's get her." Emily whipped around to see the man Saïx and another cloaked figure. "What do you want with me? Who are you?" Emily asked. "We need more members. You have been accepted and will be joining whether you want to or not." Saïx said as his claymore appeared in his hands and the cloaked figure held energy blades. "Wait! If I go with you, will you leave my friends alone?" Emily said. Saïx look at the cloaked man. "What do you think Xemnas?" "It is good to see you will be coming with us." Xemnas said to Emily as he pulled down his hood. His gaze fell on Hayner and he said, "Would you like to see your friends' death? Or would you rather leave now." Saïx had crept up behind Emily and suddenly blindfolded her. Emily screamed and tried to tear the blindfold off but Saïx had tied it tight. "Hayner, RUN!!" Emily shouted. Saïx lifted her of the ground as Hayner stood, frozen in place. He was scared, no, petrified. "Let's get this over with." Xemnas pulled out a dagger. "You will die the same way as Zexion." Emily screamed as something stabbed her heart, then everything went black.
