DISCLAIMER: The characters and and other stuff belong to the awesome Kylie chan! only Ella belongs to me

A/N: thanks you so much for the review Emenemenemma! that review had got me into working on the fan fiction again (even though my writing may have changed since then...:-/), but i wasnt sure if people were reading this at all xP. but the books are just too awesome to resist on doing a fanfic for them.

At the bottom of the page, there shall be a question i would love to hear fellow readers answer to.


Chapter 2

"She's starting to wake" Someone's distant voice said,' Where am I?' Ella thought trying to stir and felt she was on something soft, either a bed or a sofa she guessed.

"Ella?" Emma's voice brought her focus back remembering she had fainted.

Ella groaned and opened her eyes and focused them on everyone in the room.

"What happened? Where am I?" she asked looking at the unfamiliar face of a child and a dark skinned man

Emma smiled at her, "You fainted Ella, I think when we collided, you fell back pretty hard" she told her, Looking at the man standing behind the child. They both held their gaze for a little while before turning to look expectantly at Ella.

Slowly Ella nodded her head, feeling slightly confused, she was sure something else had happened because she felt greatly unnerved.

"Ok, did you take me back to your place?" she asked Emma curiously and smiled over at the quiet little girl whose face brightened back up and grinned at her.

"Yeah, hope you don't mind. I really didn't know what to do at the time," Emma explained scratching her head nervously, "Leo here drove around the corner in his car luckily"

"Yeah, she would have been hopeless without me" The dark skinned man said cheekily, "I'm Leo by the way"

Ella nodded nicely, "thanks for helping at least….I wouldn't have been much help while out cold" she joked lightly.

The little girl cheerfully ran and sat upon Ella's lap on the couch and smiled at her, "Hi Emma's friend, I'm simone" she introduced, "Emma takes care of me here you know"

Looking at Emma Slyly, Ella looked at Simone, "Oh really? Well you'll have to tell me all the embarrassing things she has done then right?" Ella grinned cheekily and Simone giggled and nodded rapidly.

"What's the time?" Ella asked suddenly, realizing it was already late when she was rushing home.
"Almost 7 O'clock now" Leo replied.

'7 O'clock?!' Ella thought with disdain and got up with the help of Simone.

"I probably better head home then, I got to do some things before tomorrow" Ella said, her enthusiasm gone as she remembered all her chores she needed to do at home.

Leo, took a step closer, "I can take you home, you didn't have a car did you?" he asked. Ella shook her head but regretted it when she began to feel woozy again. She sat down back on the bed.

"Whoa, I shouldn't have done that!" Ella scolded herself, laughing slightly. Emma placed a hand on her shoulder, and said, "Did you want to stay the night? You did have a bit of a hard fall"

"No….No…I'm…." just as she began to talk she spotted something black and gross on her clothes. Suddenly vivid memories came back to her. The three teenagers. Fighting. Everything was coming back to her so fast that she had to grip her head.

"What is it? Are you ok?" Emma grabbed hold on both Ella's shoulders. She shook her lightly, "Ella?"

"I'll go get some water" Leo said, leaving the room quickly, almost running.

"Is she ok Emma?" Simone's innocent voice managed to bring Ella's state of mind back. She looked around her with puzzlement. "Ella…?"

Ella looked to Emma whose face was furrowed in worry. Ella took a deep breath.

"I didn't have a bad fall…." She whispered. Leo feet shuffled slightly as he entered the room, seemingly at a wrong moment.

Emma's face almost faltered but she managed a confused look. "What do you mean Ella?"

She gave Emma a sharp glance, "I remember now, those teenagers…you pushed me back and you fought them both."

Emma shook her head, denying what she was saying. "No you must've had a dream while you were knocked out -"

"No it can't have been, you were fighting them incredibly and they turned into black goo or whatever it was!" Ella insisted lifting her shirt where a small trace of black goo was present.

Another man entered the room; he was Chinese and seemed to be the father of Simone. He looked at Ella and smiled slightly. "Emma, I'll take Simone out and you both can talk." He said and concentrated on Emma for a few moments until she nodded.

"Yes. Okay, I will." She said. Simone smiled at Ella and patted her arm, "it'll be ok Ella."

Grabbing hold of the man's hand, Simone and the Chinese man left the room.

Emma was quiet when Ella's attention focused on her. She was staring deeply at Ella as if debating what to say.

"Can you please tell me what's going on? This seems too serious to be some prank you pulled on me." Ella said. Emma eyes widened slightly and she mumbled a low, "I should have thought of that."

"First Ella, I need you to change, that goo doesn't really look good on you." Emma said, almost too casually as she got up, and going to a closet.

"You'd be around my size so that's lucky." She murmured to herself.

Ella got up from the coach she was on, looking around and realizing that she wasn't in some lounge room. She was in one large suite….but it couldn't be Emma's could it?

"Is this….Room…yours?" Ella said, stumbling on her words. Emma laughed and turned around, "It's massive, isn't it?"

Ella, being speechless, just nodded. "It's practically what I was like when I came here first. 'This massive room is mine?'"

She handed Ella some spare clothes, which she changed into quickly. "Now, earlier, can you please tell me what the…hell…is going on?" Ella said, handing Emma her dirtied clothes and staring at her pleadingly.

"I hoped you'd give up…"Emma sighed disappointedly. She sat down on the couch and looked meaningfully at Ella, "I just need you to promise me something...."

This confused Ella and she lifted her arms up slightly, "Promise ...what?"

"That, whatever I say must keep between us. I mean seriously you can't tell anyone. It could put them or you in danger" Emma said, staring into Ella's eyes seriously. Ella looked at her in disbelief.

"Are you working for some crime leader?" she whispered lowly, getting closer to Emma. "'Cause if you are….we have to get you-"

"Wait. No that's not what it is" Emma interrupted quickly.

"Than what's wrong?" Ella said, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, Emma couldn't help but laugh.

"You've forgotten the freakiest parts of what you've seen Ella. What you said you saw was true, we hoped you would think it was just a dream but we realize that our avoidance game hadn't worked."

Ella sat on the couch next to Emma, realizing the important parts she had seen. "So…um…what exactly happened? I mean….why did the boys turn into….Goo?!"

Grabbing her hand, Emma looked earnestly at her friend. "They…were…demons." She sighed, "They were demons and they are after Simone and her father John Chen."

"Demons?! " Ella Gasped loudly, ripping her hand from Emma, looking at her sharply, "What?!...but…that can't be…?" Emma nodded solemnly.

"What you saw with the black goo. Was how we destroy them, I learned martial arts from John Chen and I and Leo help protect them both from the demons…."

"Oh…."

Emma grinned suddenly, excitedly looking at her friend, "But you know the god they call 'Pak Tai' ?"

Ella nodded slowly, staring incredulously at her. "John Chen…..Is actually the god Pak Tai…or Xuan Wu…he has too many names. "

"Umm…." Ella started but couldn't continue. Emma realized what she was doing and calmed herself down.

"Oh crap, I probably freaked you out a bit. Sorry Ella!" Emma apologized, slapping her forehead. Ella smiled awkwardly and said, "Only a bit."

"But, you do believe what I am saying right? Because I might be able to bring someone to show you and, I have all these books that give you a little bit of information on them or…the Chinese mythology."

Chuckling slightly Ella nodded, "let's just say…I believe you because you are my friend….but I think I just need a little more proof….because….oh you know, it's hard to believe these things are exactly real"

"Oh, well that's reasonable. I think your handling it better than me." Emma joked, and then stood. "Did you want to stay here for the night?"

"No, I better not." Ella said as she stood, "I got to sort things out and get some sleep for tomorrow. Thanks anyway"

Both the girls left the room, Leo taking Ella home with Emma making sure she was ok as she took her into Ella's apartment.

"You sure you're not feeling faint or anything?" Emma asked concernedly, Ella shooed her arms away, "I'm fine, really."

"Ok then…We'll I'll come around tomorrow and tell you in more detail, wow, I'm really surprised about you Ella, you seem pretty calm about this." Emma said, she was staring at her friend with amazement but Ella did not seem to care.

"I finish work at about 4 tomorrow. it's not too far from here so I'll be home around then." Ella told her then said her goodbyes, letting Emma back outside and shutting it behind her. All she needed now was a nice cup of tea to calm her nerves.

"That was one hell of a day." She murmured to herself.
