Caged Wings

Chapter Three: Bewitched

The group, now of five, walked towards down town. Sith then said to Raven, "Soo.......you think one of your other friends is in down town?"

Raven nods, "Yeah, I do."

Serenity then said, "How do you know?"

Raven then looks to Serenity, "I saw this.....in a vision. It wasn't very clear, but I know someone is there."

Zero then said, "You can see visions?"

Raven smiles, "Sometimes, but not that often."

Zero then said, "So you're like a shaman-psychic woman-person?"

Raven laughs, "Sorta, but you get the idea."

Raven then looks to Serenity, "Speaking of powers, back there....how did you do that?"

Serenity then makes a confused look, "Do what?"

Raven then said, "Shoot fire at us. How'd you do it?"

Serenity's eyes widened, "Oh! I almost forgot. I'm sooo sorry I did that!"

Raven sighs, "It's okay. I asked how'd you produce fire, not an apology."

Serenity then said, "Oh but still. Anyway, I'm not sure....one day it just happened. I got angry and stuff just caught fire. Then I realized I could control it after some practice."

Raven smiles, "That's cool. You're a pyrokenetic."

Serenity nods with a smile, "Yup!"

They all arrive into the town, where tons of different creatures were seen. Serenity then asked, "Umm.......so....what powers do you guys have?"

Raven then said, "I'm a shaman now. So let's just leave it at that."

Sith then said, "I'm a soul hunter. I hunt reapers. There, that's my power. I kill reapers."

Zero then said, "Well.....I don't really have that much powers. I only know martial arts and a couple of spells and what not."

Serenity's eyes widened, "Wow. That's really cool."

Coslotus finally spoke, "Not that cool."

Raven smirks, "I like to see exactly what YOU can do."

Coslotus then crosses his arms, "The only time you're allowed to find out is when I fight."

Raven then says, "I'd like to see that."

Serenity then laughs nervously, "Uhh....guys? Please don't fight."

Raven then said, "Don't worry.....we won't....."

As Raven walked ahead, she quickly added, "........yet."

Coslotus just shrugged, "Hmf!"

Zero shakes his head, "Geez.....you're still so violent."

Raven shrugs, "Meh, it kept me alive."

Raven stops and looks around. Sith then comes up beside her, "What's up? You sense something?"

Raven nods, "Yeah.....I do."

Serenity then said, "What is it?"

Raven smiles, "I think our friend is near."

Zero then asked, "Where exactly?"

Raven points to an alley, "Near there."

Sith then said, "Well.....let's go then."

They all walked to the alley. They heard murmurs and heavy footsteps. The sound of running. They all walk into the alley and turned the corner. They all saw three big ogres surrounding something. Raven's eyes widened to see it was a girl. Raven then said, "Those guys are trying to get a girl!"

Serenity's eyes widened, "Well then, let's go help her!"

Before anyone went to do anything, the ogres came closer to the girl. The girl huddled, like she was helpless. After the last step, the girl smirks, "Hee...."

She then kicks the guy in the face. She began to laugh. She then jumps on all of their heads shouting, "WEEEEEE!!!!"

She then knocked every single one of the ogres out. Everyone's eyes widened at the display. Zero then said, "Holy crap!"

They all got a good look at the girl. She wore a gothic, knee high dress, with black laced boots. She had her blondish orange hair curled up and done in two pigtails that showed ringlettes. She wore glove-like fish nets on her hands. She wore a black ribbion on her neck and her pigtails. The earrings she wore were hanging down, sparkling silver. She stood around 5,4 in height and had a peach tone. Was also fairly skinny. She smiled and revealed black and red braces.

Raven and Zero's eyes both widened. They both shouted at the same time as soon as they realized who it was, "KELLY?!!!!!"

The girl's eyes blink and she turns to see the gang watching. She then said, "Oh, I didn't realize anyone was watching. Hee hee!"

She then goes in front of them, "You seem familar."

Raven then said, "It IS you!!! It's me, Carrie!!"

Her eyes widened a little, "Carrie?"

Raven nods with a smile. The girl then smiles and then jumps on Raven with a hug, "CARRIE!!!!!!"

Raven smiles, "Kelly!!!!"

Kelly then looks at her, "I knew you wouldn't die!!"

Raven then said, "Same goes for you."

She then notices everyone else, "You found other people, Carrie?"

Raven nods, "Yeah, my brother, Nash, my bestfriend, and her brother!"

Kelly looks at each of them, "Wow. You guys changed a lot!"

She then looks at Zero. She then bursts out laughing. Zero raises an eyebrow, "What's so funny?"

Kelly then points at him, "Your outfit! Whatcha do? Become a monk or something?"

Zero's eyes narrowed a bit, "Uhh....nooo. I just learned a little asian fighting, that's all."

Kelly then laughs again, "Wow! You became violent too?"

Zero then says, "N-no. Just for self defense."

She then goes right up to him. She then pokes him, "Poke!"

Zero then takes a step back, "W-what the--?"

Kelly then smiles, "I just haven't done that in so long."

Kelly then looks at Serenity, "JANICE!!!!"

She then hugs her. She smiles, "Kelly!!! I missed you!"

Kelly smiles, "I missed everyone!!"

Raven then filled Kelly in on what she planned to do. She also told her how she found everyone and introduced everyone's new found names.

Kelly smiles, "Okay!! I'll join! I'm Hikari now by the way."

Everyone, except Coslotus, then smiled at their new recruit, Hikari. Everyone then went to a resturant for lunch. They all grabbed a seat. Serenity then asked, "So.....what have you been doing all this time?"

Hikari smiles, "Witchcraft!"

Raven then says, "So....you're a witch?"

Hikari nods, "Yup!"

Raven then said, "Cool! I'm a shaman!"

Hikari smiles, "Sweet!"

Everyone then ordered their food. While they waited, the rest of the group told Hikari what they were. Zero then says, "I always knew you were destined for evil."

Meanwhile.....outside of the country boarder.......

A guy wearing a black hoodie jacket is roaming the highways on his own. He didn't know why or where he was going. He stops to see a delivery carriage with dragons, ready for take off. He goes behind it. He then overheard one of the delivery guys say, "This stuff goes to Grimstone."

Another guy said, "Didn't that town use to be Brantford?"

The other guy said, "Yeah. Tragic."

With that, the guy in the hoodie dove in the back as they took off in the direction of Grimstone.
