Fall of 1806, Alyera

Amy bolted out of bed and into the living room/Kitchen. There was her family. Her mom and dad. As well as her older half brother. He'd disappered with the slaves eight years ago and when her family came here he lived with them. They men were sitting at the table as Jess was cooking the last remants of breakfeast. There was knock at the door.

"Go get it Amy." Jess said

Amy went and opened the door. In the door way was Katie.

"Hi Amy. Hi John. Hello Jack and Jess." Katie said

" Why, hello Katie. Should you be with your mom shopping?" Jess asked

"Mom said I could stay at home today." Katie replied
She looked down and blushed a little bit.

"Ah! I see. Well then congradulations." Jack said

"It's nothing to be exticted about." Katie mumbled

"What? What, are you talking about?" Amy asked

"Um.. I tell you later. Come to my room after you eat breakfest. 'Kay? We have some talking to do. Well, bye everyone." Katie said

"Bye Katie!" Amy and her family replied

Amy closed the door and wacthed Katie run back to her house out the window.


After Breakfeast


"Before you go, Amy. You must find out if for sure Katie's dad is getting a promotion and is leaving." Jack told his daughter

"I understand why but what will happen to...m- us." Amy said

"You and Luke will go with them to the city and go to the V hunters wicthes school." Jess replied

"Wicthes school?" Amy and Luke said in unison

"A speacial under ground school for the V hunter sect known as Wicthes." Jack said

Amy not wanting to hear anymore got up and went out the door and started walking to the master's house. It was big and white with a back and front porch. Amy was walking towards the back porch. Her house was the closes house to the masters house. The two houses where sepaarted by a small field of tall grass. Amy walked by the big Oak tree. She stop.

She wasn't there in the field, she wasn't sixteen soon to turn seventeen years old, she wasn't in a ragged old dress anymore. She was in the tree in nice birthday dress and eleven years old. She and Katie were climbing up the tree. It was Katie's tenth and Amy's elventh birthdays. They were getting in last mintute playing before Their's (though more like Katie's) birthday party.

They were racing see who can get to the top first. Katie was talking nonstop about how her brother, John who almost accidentaly burnt her house down just a few days before. She just couldn't wait untill she got her powers. While talking about what powers she did and did not want and why. She stepped on a broken branch and fell back.

Amy turned her head around and saw her falling and for a rare fletting momment she felt it. She felt it in the super-nanosecond it takes a bird to falpped his wings from up to down once. The feel of caring for Kaite as one would care for a true blood sister. In that momment KKatie stopped falling and her feet gentle touch the ground. She look at her friend in pure amazement. Once she got over the schocked. She said Amy had won and began running back to the house. It was the first and last time she metioned it.

The feeling she felt grew rare and rare over the years and yet grew stronger and stronger ever time felt. That time was the last time she ever felt it that strong.

She made it to the master's house. She walked through the back porch and in to the kitchen. Emily was finishing baking some cookies.

"Amy dear come over here." Emily called

On the table there was a plate of fresh baked (cooled down) cookies.

"Amy try some for me and tell me if you think Katrina will like it." Emily said

"Of course. Mistress Emily." Amy said scooping up some cookies.

She began eating one. She took a sweep of the area out one door way were some cleaning slaves and out the other were the two private maid in trainings to Kaite. They glared at Amy. Amy took as much noticed as she always does, nothing. The girls have been jealous of her from day one. They unoffically began traininng at age eight but really began a few months before their fourteenth birthday. They were jelaous because Amy's family was the 'Compaion' family. Everyone in her family was a compaion to some on in Katie's family. Due to this they got special treatment like eatting dinner with them and Luke and Amy getting birthday prensets or going to school. Then to top it off her family were wicthes and their families where not. All they did was spread rummors about them (Amy and Luke in particullar) and most belived them. exept for a few nought girls she really didn't have any friends. It's the only reason why Amy hangs out with Katie at all. And that makes the rumors even more belivable. Not wanting to think about that Amy answered Emily's question.

"These cookies are...Misstress Katie's favorite, as long as you keep them warm she'll be deilghted." Amy answered

"Thanks Amy. You should go up before she gets waiting. Oh and take her out side for an hour after that she can eat dinner." Emily said

"Yes m'am." Amy answered

Amy left and ran up the stairs that lead from the first floor hallway and to the bedrooms on the third floor. The second floor was for the few and sparing feeders, soon-be-hunted and the guest. The bedrooms where all high for flight capabilites in case of an emergancy and for comfortablity. Katie's was the second to last one at the end of the hall. The entire house was white inculding the doors expect for Katie's which was a lightly colored cross between blue and green. Amy knocked on it.

"If it's anyone but mom or Amy don't come in." Katie said in a slightly upset vioce

Amy opened the door Katie was sitting in the bed with a blanket wrapped around her. The two girls look at eachother as if they were looking at something they did not want to see. They saw each other the way two adults would and yet something in the other eyes made them stop. Fear of change and the wanting of normality.

Amy wanting to stop think about it. She knew she had to say something, anything to stop thinking about it.

"Why.. are wrapped in a blanket." Amy asked

"Closed the door behind you and come over here. Then you'll find out." Katie

Amy closed the door behind her. She walked over to the bed. Katie let the blanket fell down. Amy gasped.

"So that's what you were talking about." Amy said

On Katie's back was a pair of wings. Angelic wings, moist with red blood, black, lavender,deep viloet and shining onyx feathers. Blood was caked where her wings met her back.

"You need to wash that blood off." Amy said

"I...I...I...c-c-c-can't I'm to scared to...to...to...touch them." Katie said with her vioce broken

Then in a flash Katie was leaning in to her best friend and crying and sobbing a storm. Amy look down at Katie and felt it. That feeling from the first time she used her powers. The only difference it was strong like a hurricane wave in the middle of the ocean knocking down a crusie and it was getting stronger and stronger.

"Stop it! Stop making me feel this way!" Amy yelled at Katie with tears in her eyes

Katie looked up at Amy.

"W...what are...you talking...a-a-about?" Katie asked her vioce filled with crying and sobs

"This feeling of..of...caring for you but...but only more so." Amy said as she felt water slowly drip down her cheek. Amy frowned. This is not good at all. She thought.

Then a wave of pain hit Amy like a boulder hitting a building. Starting from the middle of her back and spreading thourgh her entire body. She felt her knees go down and the floor coming up. Then a thick curtain of blackness cover her competely.

"Amy! Amy wa-" Katie said before beind strangled by pain

The pain came from her back. She arched herself forward; her chest sticking out, her back curved in. A shrilled inhuman cry escape her voice. MOM! she cried in her mind, for any sound that came out her mouth was a sound no human ear should hear. She fell back on her bed in a fetal posiontion. Her last thoughts before the darknes was God, if you are merciful will you please, take me away from this pain!

Jess and Emily came in to the room. They suryved the scene. Emily called for some slaves to take their daugthers with them.

!


Jess and Emily sat in a dimly litted room.

"What should we tell them?" Jess asked

"Everything, of course!" Emily replied

"Are you sure about everything?" Jess asked

"Well mostly everything, then." Emily said backed

In the other room the bed covers began to rustle and moans left from the people in the bed.

Jess looked at Emily.

"Guess it's time to tell them." Jess said


"MOM!" Amy cried out first

"Amy please don't yell. It hurts my ears." Katie said as she woke up groaning

The door to the room opened. Jess and Emily walked in.

"Sweetie how are you doing does anything hurt?" Emily asked Katie

"Just my back. When can I eat?" Katie asked her mom

"A little later, sweetie." Emily replied.

"Where are we?" Amy asked

"Under the house." Jess replied

"Like the basement? Because this does not look my basement at all." Katie said

"We're under the basement." Emily said

"Why are we under you're basement?" Amy asked

"We have something to tell you." Jess said

They took a deep breath.

"The reason you both blacked out is." Jess countied

"The reason is you two are Linked." Emily said

"Linked?" Amy and Katie asked

"You two are linked. It's like you two being twin sisters." Jess explained

"Why?" Katie asked

"Because Arches and Duos imprint noughts." Jess said

"Imprint?" Katie said with a question in her vioce

" Create a link to a nought to control your powers as well as other things." Emily said

"So do Arches and Duos imprint for other reasons? Besides controling their powers." Katie asked

"Yes" Jess said

"Now, no more smal talk. You two are talking your baths and coming to eat. After that bed. In that order." Emily countied on saying

"Yes m'am." Both girls said in slightly tierd and pained voices

!


A few days later


Amy and Katie climb in to the carraiage many things had happen since after the night Katie and Amy began devolping. Katie now looked like an true Arch with wings, fangs,etc . Amy had a brighter arua around her and seem more postive.

On the outside, on the inside she was plotting how to make her friend pay and to make sure that even her grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren pay. Pay for what you may ask. Why for being an Arch, for having an imprint with eachother, for having her people as slaves (when it should be the other way around) basically for everything that Amy should have in Mylera but doesn't have in Alyera. Soon engough the answer came.

Amy and Katie where sitting next to eachother both had a window seat.

"Amy if you could, would you kill me?" Katie asked in a very far away voice

"Yes I would." Amy replied in an sure vioce

"Why?" Katie asked

"Must you ask? Because you are you and I hate you." Amy replied

"If we finsh college, I will let you go to Mylera, let you take me, and let us rasie our children side by side with no knowing of this world." Katie replied

Amy scoffed at it but deep inside hoped it was true.

"Why?" Amy asked

"A test. They'll go back but it be long after you and your grandchildren pass away. That and you've always wanted to go to Mylera."

Amy thought about it. The chance to live in Mylera and died there or to live in Alyera and died there. The choice was easy. She only thought of the Pros and skimmed over the Cons in her head when she answered.

"Yes. I agree." Amy said wholeheartedly
