AN: Well here is the second chapter! YAY! Okay first I would like to thank AggelosEternally for pointing out my mistake on Dartemis' name. I had first put Darius and I was wrong. I have another story with a character name Darius and I knew this one started with a d so that is what cam out. But don't be a afraid to tell me, "Hey you got this wrong." Or "It's spelled this way not whatever gibberish you put down" Feel free to tell me that I am wrong. Okay now that that is out of the way I'll shut up now.

Arkarian POV:

Rochelle sprinted out of the room. I glared at Dartemis, meeting his level gaze. "She needs to come to Athens. Who knows what Lathenia could do to her? For all we know Rochelle could be taken over and become a spy." I gave him a level look and turned to Dillon.

"So what? That would be nothing new," Dillon said. I held back the rage that was trying to surface.

"If you have forgotten, Rochelle has shown her loyalty time and time again."

"Arkarian is right." We all turned to see Neriah stepping in. "Rochelle just came back from the dead, give her a break Dillon. You also came over from the Order." Without missing a beat Neriah turned her icy glare to Dartemis. "I believe that you made your point clear, but we need a united front now more than ever." He was about to interrupt but Neriah was quicker than he was. "Return to Athens, Dartemis. You're not needed here. The Tribunal needs you to help decide a plan of action."

"I'll leave as along as Rochelle leaves with me."

"That wouldn't be the smartest idea. If you try to drag her back to Athens she'll kill you in your sleep out of spite."

"She can't kill an Immortal."

Neriah's eyes danced with amusement. In one moment her thoughts unveiled a scene of utter chaos and disruption. Dark creatures leaked through a rip in the sky, ravaging villages. The scene skipped a little to the school as rats infested the halls. Ethan and Dillon fought them off as they ran through the hall telling classrooms to shut and lock their doors. As the scene skipped again I realized what she was showing us- the battle that took place last year. Rochelle and Ethan were disappearing down the tunnel to get the key. Rochelle barely making it back. Rochelle discovering Neriah's dogs. Neriah and Matt directing the birds with the poison in their pouches. The dealing out of weapons where Rochelle was cheated out of hers. Maybe she would have lived if she had had them. Neriah's stray thought didn't break the sequence of memories though. It continued on to the last battle of the Immortals and finally rested on Rochelle jumping in front of Ethan to save him from the poison arrow.

"Rochelle would be the one to find out a way, Dartemis. Don't you agree?" He stared at her for a moment before nodding and disappearing before our eyes. Neriah seemed to droop as my focus turned back to her but she straightened up as soon as she felt my eyes on her. "Well that was interesting, huh?" I merely shook my head.

"But, guys, what if Rochelle is turned against us. She was on their side once already."

"And so where you! So shut it Dillon!" Neriah looked ready for another fight. I decided to intervene before they were at each other's throats.

"Peace. Neriah's right. There is no way we can get through this if we are not united. Rochelle has proved herself trustworthy time and time again. No matter if you choose to be blind to it, the fact of the matter is Ethan would have died if Rochelle hadn't had stepped between him and the arrow. You would have lost your friend then, instead of your rival." Dillon stepped down.

"But if she is taken over?" he asked with very little hope.

"We'll deal with it when the time comes."

Rochelle's POV

I was going to get lost if I kept wandering like I was. Who knew these Chambers was so difficult to navigate? It wasn't long until I stepped into a hallway and saw Dillon walk out of a room with Arkarian and Neriah. Great, I just went in a big circle. Neriah saw me and ran down the hall giving me a hug. I hugged her back; glad to see my friend again. "Just so you know," I started to whisper in her ear, "I'm seriously thinking on killing your boyfriend." She laughed.

"Aren't we all?" I smiled. "So are you up to go shopping with us!" I held her at arms length examining her to make sure this was the same Neriah. She never seemed like the shopping type. "What? You need clothes. If you're worried about someone seeing you, you can always do what Arkarian does."

I looked at Arkarian, while I spoke. "And what does Arkarian do to hide that pretty little face of his." He grimaced at me, and I bit my lip to hold back laughter.

"He wears a wig." I couldn't hold it back any longer. I bent over holding my sides in laughter. Hearing Arkarian huff in annoyance only made the laughter come harder. Finally composing myself, I came up wiping away a tear. "Man, I've missed way too much."

"I really don't see how it's funny?" I just smiled and turned to Neriah consenting that I'd go shopping with her and Isabel if only to see Arkarian in a wig. He turned out to look normal and Isabel might have to beat other girls off him. His face fell into that charming grimace that he was starting to show more often.

I just pulled my hair up in a bun and put on a ball cap. One of Arkarian's I should add. With proper teasing and goading on my account we all made it out the Chambers and down the hill towards Ethan's house. I tried to convince them that Ethan probably wouldn't want to come but they said that Isabel was over there and would hate to be left out.

I rang the doorbell, but when I tried to step back Neriah stepped in my way. I heard the door open and groaned internally. "Hi Ethan." Neriah peeked out from under my arm and my inward groaning turned the volume up twelve notches. I numbly turned to see an equally stunned Ethan. He gave a small wave.

"Ethan what are you doing standing in the doorway? You are letting the air out." Shaun came up behind him and froze. His thoughts were so confused I could only draw one conclusion. I looked to Arkarian and Neriah and they had drawn the same conclusion.

"You didn't tell him?" Arkarian was the first one to voice the question that was sounding over and over in my mind. Ethan merely shrugged. Everyone looked at me, to see if it hurt my feelings our something. I couldn't really tell though because they were all keeping their thoughts scrambled enough so that it was impossible to read.

I ignore it all though, because I didn't blame Ethan for not telling Shaun. If he was such a nutcase that Matt decided it would be a good thing to bring me back from the dead, I highly doubted Shaun would have believed him. Putting a small mischievous smile on my face and looked at Shaun, "Everyone seems to forget how to welcome guests when I came around." Shaun laughed, and invited us all in.

"It's not every day that someone comes back from the dead. You've seen to have loosen up since I last saw you."

I shrugged, "I'm dead, so what if I offend someone. It's not like they do something worse that send me back to where I should be." I could feel their eyes on me as I hopped on to the couch. Sure enough I looked up and everyone was staring at meÉeveryone except for Ethan that is. I gave a mental sigh. What were we going to do?

"Shaun, who was at the... Oh!" Laura, Ethan's mum, stepped into the room only to stop when she saw us. "Hello Neriah, Joe." I looked at Arkarian, Joe? I asked him trying to hold back laughter. Laura started talking before he could answer. "Who's your other friend Ethan?" This was the most I had heard her talk since I met Ethan. Granted I didn't exactly come over a whole lot, but still.

I stood up and went to offer my hand. "I'm Anne Marie." See Arkarian, My name is so much better than Joe. Remind me to tell Isabel never to let you name any children you two might have. She smiled, muttered a polite nice to meet you, and went into the kitchen. I turned back to the group, "Well not that I'm not enjoying this get to know you party, but I think it's time to go. We need to have a meeting either tonight or tomorrow, at least the Named. I don't want to explain this fifty times." Arkarian and Shaun nodded. I turned to Ethan and Isabel; "They're dragging me to the mall, might as well join the party."

I didn't stay to see if they followed. It was getting too crowded for me. Sense of humor I might have gained, but crowds still wasn't my thing.

Ethan POV

"Come on Ethan! Don't you think it's cute?" Isabel and Neriah were holding up some article of clothing that didn't have enough fabric in it to be anything but a skimpy bikini. I shook my hand and got disappointed sighs from both girls. They had been trying to get me to talk. Truth was I wouldn't have even came if Mum hadn't come out of the kitchen and practically shoved me out the door after Arkarian. "What about you Joe?"

"Please don't bring me into this." Rochelle laughed from where she was sitting on the floor. Arkarian glared at her, and she laughed harder. "These are your clothes. Why aren't you the one picking them out instead of sitting there doing nothing?"

"Because, Joe," she sneered his name, "I have no say in the matter. The only reason I'm here is to make sure those two don't bring me home a bunch of panty lace or something else totally inappropriate." I saw the two in question put whatever they had picked out—they must have caught her hint—as Rochelle and Arkarian glared at each other. This was getting too much for me.

Walking out of the store, hopefully unnoticed, I tried to clear my head. This wasn't suppose to be happening. We shouldn't be here shopping for Rochelle. Heck, we shouldn't be shopping with her. This didn't make any sense. "Hey! Wait up!" I reluctantly stopped and waited for her to catch up. She didn't say anything when she stood next to me, so I kept walking.

Since when can an Immortal have the power to bring back the dead? I've certainly never heard of such a thing, and Arkarian seemed just as a surprised as the rest of us, so apparently it wasn't known to be possible. "Or nobody ever tried." I looked at Rochelle, but she looked the other direction. I decided it didn't matter. There were other things of more importance.

Now I was walking down the hall with a dead manÉwoman. Whatever! It's not like I wasn't glad that she was here. We could finally have our chance to be together, butÉ. "I know Ethan." I looked at her again only this time she met my gaze. "I could be gone tomorrow. I was told that I'm still in questionÉ at least for a month that is. So don't worry about trying to play polite, go ahead and figure out what you need to. I understand." I frowned. "Hey you were the one being open. "

I sighed and looked over my shoulder as someone called our names only to see the others coming up behind us. Rochelle turned to see what I was looking at and groaned. "Hey, there you two are! Where were two going anyway?" Rochelle shrugged the same time I did. "Oh, anyways we have to go get something. Why don't you two go to the next store and we'll meet you back here." Rochelle glared at Isabelle, but her and Neriah dragged Arkarian away before either of us could get a word out.

"So, what is the next store?" Rochelle gave me a look that gave the impression of "oh you actually are going to talk to me."

"Turn around." After staring for a moment I did as she said, only to feel myself beet red at the sight of a Victoria Secrets store. "Why don't you go find a seat at the food court and I'll meet you there." Taking a steadying breath I nodded, trying to get a hold on the thinning ends of my sanity. This was getting more than out of hand. I don't know how the others were completely okay with this. You would think they brought people back from the dead all the time. Not only does having Rochelle back mean having everything turned upside down, but also if one Immortal can do this what is going to stop Lathenia from doing the same thing. This was all one huge mess.

Sighing, I sat down at a table, resisting the urge to beat my head repeatedly. Yet, having her back does mean we get to start anew. We can forget all the stuff that happened before. "You don't have to decide today." I jumped before turning around to see Rochelle taking a seat next to me."

"Would you stop listening?"

"It's not my fault. You should really learn to screen your thoughts. The Order will be resembled now that their leaders are back."

"And you know this becauseÉ?"

"What did we learn about them in the first battle? They'll stop at nothing to bring Chaos. This battle has only begun Ethan. Now that the two of them are back the battle over time has started yet again."

AN: Okeydokey guys, I'm trying to decide if I should have different points of view throughout the story so I need your opinions. Review!
