Dawn's sister sat on edge of the double bed as she waited eagerly for Dawn to return with Togekiss. Salvia was unable to control her arms. She couldn't recall much of what she dreamt last night, but could remember a haunted house, darkness and crying.

She gasped at the realisation that Dawn had went to Eterna Forest and visited the abandoned house on her own. She wasn't truly alone, but Dawn could have put herself in danger. She had plenty to say to Dawn when she returned. She sensed a pikachu cornered into her sister's lap whilst Dawn rode Togekiss back to the castle.

The sun was just beginning to rise, both sisters have always been early birds, but Salvia could sense that Dawn had not even a wink of sleep. She only needed to wait until Dawn returned to see if her visions were true. By the time Salvia had composed herself, got washed and ddressed, Dawn returned. Dawn dismounted and hopped back into the room. Pikachu was wrapped in Dawn's arms like a nestled baby.

"Why did you to that place?" Salvia asked.

"What place?" Dawn wasn't so sure what Salvia meant by that place.

"The house in Eterna Forest!" Salvia snapped. "Do you have any idea how dangerous that place could be?"

"There was nothing but gastlys and dust," Dawn replied. "And I found Pikachu."

"DAWN!" Salvia raised her voice and ran up to her sister in fright. "I dreamt about that place, there was screaming and darkness. If I hadn't had sensed you coming home, I would have been frightened. I almost thought you were dead."

Dawn hugged Salvia. "It's okay. Calm down. Anyway I need to find Lady Serena."

"Lady Serena? Why?"

"Because she's the witch!"

Salvia took a few steps backwards and leaned towards the bed. "Lady Serena? But she's Ash's childhood sweetheart."

"She never was his childhood sweetheart!" Dawn announced. "That screaming you heard was Pikachu crying because he realised that Serena had betrayed him. Pikachu saw her eyes become cross-shaped like an x. She's an evil witch and I've got to get Ash away from him before it's too late."

"That's terrible!" Salvia said. "We must inform Mother at once."

"I'm going to find her!" Dawn yelled. She rushed around the bedroom and made herself presentable. Salvia had never seen Dawn get washed and changed into clean clothes so quickly. "I'm going to make sure that the witch dosen't get away with this."

Dawn escaped through the window again where Togekiss waited patiently. Ash's Pikachu was left in the care of Salvia. With Pikachu in her arms, Salvia scurried over to the window and cried out, "DAWN PLEASE BE CAREFUL!"

"What is with all this racket?" cried a voice from afar. Salvia rushed back to the door to her bedroom and saw her mother, Queen Johanna in her nightgown. "Where is Dawn."

"She's gone to find Serena," Salvia explained. "Dawn found Ash's Pikachu."

"That's good," Queen Johanna said. "It must mean that Ash isn't that far. But why is Dawn looking for Serena."

"Serena betrayed Pikachu. Mother, Serena could be the witch that kidnapped Ash."

"No... But Serena has already returned to Kalos."

"That means Dawn will go to Kalos. It's so far away from Sinnoh." Salvia hugged her mother tight and buried her head in her mother's chest. "She's taken Piplup and they're they're just about to leave Sinnoh. Oh no!"

"Fear not!" Queen Johanna assured Salvia. "I will get them to find Dawn and bring her hpme safely. We will look for clues as to where Ash disapeared to. He can't have gone that far. As for Serena, if she is a witch there is nothing I can do about it if she stays in Kalos. I can only let other kings and queens know that there is a potential witch on the loose."

Salvia knew how brave her sister was, but she was still scared for her.
