Yasha packed down the mud by her door. Melmond had seen better days. "This vampire really needs to get a hobby" she said as she observed the long scratch marks on her white fence. "Hey Yasha! Did he get you" her friend Jenni yelled from across the street. Yasha smiled a little and walked over to her. "Nope… What about you" she said. Jenni shrugged and looked around. "Jenni… Even you know that this has to stop…Sooner or later the vampire and Lich's army are going to realize that they can get in our houses" Yasha said. Jenni went pale at the thought and looked down.
Jenni suddenly got a good idea. "Cornelia" she said. "What about it" Yasha said. "I have a hunch that the crystal of Earth resides there" Jenni said. "Yeah and what if you're wrong? What if we go and we don't get any leads and we come back only to sweep what's left of Melmond up in a dust pan and throw it away" Yasha said. "It's worth a shot" Jenni said. Yasha frowned. She was reluctant to do it, but Jenni was almost never wrong. "Alright. We leave for Cornelia under the cover of darkness" Yasha finally said. That night, Jenni and Yasha left Melmond praying that their home would be safe while they were gone.
