Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter. After having not updated the last chapter for how many months, I thought I would upload this chapter faster. Well, that and I didn't want to lose the idea that I have for the story. Before the chapter begins, I would like to say two things. First, thank you to all the people who have read the story and to the following people who have reviewed:

KimImpossible: Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I am going to try to put more detail into this story, since the prequel for this one was seriously lacking in that department.

Agent of the Divine One: Ya. It's nice to have some encouragement in tough times. :)

Gottalovetwilight: I'm glad you liked the fluff. I couldn't believe that I wrote that fluffy of a chapter. I'm not really one to write a whole bunch of fluff. I would probably gag. Just kidding.

DMG44: Sorry about the description of Yubel. Thanks for the review.

WhiteAsukalover: Sorry! There won't be any gory stuff this chapter.

The second thing I would like to say is that I promise that there won't be anything gory in this chapter.

Chapter Four: A Message

'Just when you start to think that things could actually be getting better, they get worse,' Alexis thought sadly to herself as she looked out the window of her old bedroom.

She, Jaden, Jesse and Blair had all decided to spend the night at Magic Kingdom because it was far to late to be traveling back home. Well, that and the fact that Alena could be just as stubborn and scary as Zanzabar could. Alexis gave a small smile as she remembered the quarrel that Alena, Jesse and Jaden had all gotten into.

Half an hour earlier

"What are you guys going to do now?" Zanzabar asked Jaden and Jesee as the three men followed the women into the palace.

"Probably just go back home soon and see if anything comes up," Jaden said.

"I don't think we can do anything at this point anyways," Jesse pointed out, "We don't even know this guy's plan. All we can do is wait until something happens."

Thought neither of them were going to admit it, but they felt really uneasy about the fact that all they could do was sit around and wait until this guy makes another move.

"When will you guys leave?" Zanzabar asked after a couple minutes of silence.

"Probably in a couple minutes," Jesse said.

"You will not leave in a couple minutes," Alena said suddenly, whirling around to face the two boys, "It's practically the middle of the night."

"Ya, but we don't want to impose," Jesse said. He and Jaden were rather surprised. They had never seen Alena speak with such forcefulness. She was usually very quiet.

"Nonsense. I would rather have you guys here for the night then worry over the fact that you could have been killed or kidnapped," Alena said crossing her arms.

"We won't be killed or kidnapped. I highly doubt that whoever these guys are would try to attack us tonight. I mean, wouldn't they wait a while to make their strike?" Jaden said.

"Still, it would be better for all of us if you four just stayed here for the night," Alena said, "Besides, the girls are tired and you two don't look any better."

Jesse and Jaden both opened their mouths to retaliate but Alena held up her hand to silence them.

"You four are staying here tonight, and if I hear one more protest out of the two of you, you both shall wish that you had never come here in the first place. Got it?"

Both boys just nodded their head. To make them wish that they had never come here would have to be something really horrible, and neither one wanted to face that.

End of flashback

As Alexis thought about it she started to giggle, and by the time she quit thinking about it, she was rolling on the floor with laughter.

"What's so funny?" Jaden asked her. He had walked into the room to see Alexis on the floor, laughing histerically.

"Just thinking about that fight that you, Jesse and my mom had gotten into," Alexis said after she was able to quite laughing.

"I never knew that your mom how scary your mom could be," Jaden said shuddering, "especially when she's angry."

"I'm scary? People always tell me that I am as quite and gentle as a lamb," Alena said, walking into the room with three cups of hot chocolate with whip cream and a cherry on top. "All though, most people haven't seen me when I'm really angry."

"Yeah. You really mad isn't something that I would want to see again," Alexis said.

"Again? What happened that made you really mad in the first place?" Jaden asked curiously.

"It's a long story," Alena said, "I'll tell you guys some other time. I thought I would just bring you up some hot chocolate, or as Lex used to call it when she was little, hot coco milk."

"Hot coco milk?" Jaden asked trying to surpress the smile that was now working its way up his face.

"I was three, and I couldn't say hot chocolate yet," Alexis said with a playful defensive voice, "I knew that coco and milk were in it, so I just called it hot coco milk."

"Wow, I never knew that," Jaden said chuckling.

"Well, I'll let you two get some sleep," Alena said before an argument could form, "Have a good sleep."

"Night, mom," Alexis said, giving her mother a kiss on the cheek.

"Night, Alena," Jaden said.


"So what are we supposed to do with this note again?" a person with a very scratchy voice asked.

"Don't you ever listen?" asked another annoyed voice, "We have to get that note into a place where those two love birds will find it in the morning."

"Oh, right," the first voice said, "How are we going to get in?"

The second person just looked at the first person like he was a complete idiot, but didn't bother answering. Instead, he started to climb the ivory gate that was located under the window. He was just about to climb over the side, when he noticed that Jaden was looking out the window.

'Shit,' he thought to himself as he ducked down, 'I thought those two had gone to bed. I'll have to try in a couple of minutes.' However, instead of climbing back down, the person just sat in a corner of the balcony to wait.


'What the heck?' Jaden thought to himself as he looked out the window. He thought he just saw movement out by the balcony railing. However, when he blinked then looked again, there was no one there and the night was a still as the dead.

"Jaden? What's wrong?" Alexis asked worryingly for she had seen Jaden frown.

"It's nothing," Jaden said, turning away from the window.

Alexis frown but didn't say anything. Her gut was telling her that something wasn't right and that Jaden had seen something, but she really didn't want to contradict him about it in the middle of the night. Instead, she just climbed into bed beside him.


'Finally. I didn't think those two would ever get to sleep,' the figure thought to himself as he stood up from his sitting position. He quietly snuck towards the balcony doors, and slid the note into the space between the doors and floor of the balcony.

"Well?" said the second figure impatiently when the first figure dropped to the ground silently.

"It's delivered. Now to let the fun begin," said the first figure. They both grinned like clowns before darting into the night.


'I wonder if that guy will try to strike today,' Jaden thought to himself as he stepped into the joining bathroom.

He had woken about an hour ago, but just now had actually gotten up. Jaden had quietly stepped into the bathroom so not to wake Alexis, who was still asleep.

"Do you really think that they would strike already?" Avian asked, appearing next to Jaden.

"I don't know, but it's good to be prepared," Jaden said. Avian nodded his head since he couldn't find anything wrong with just being prepared. "Now, could you leave? I'm going to take a shower."

Avian nodded once more before disappearing. Jaden stepped into the hot shower and just let the water run over him. It actually felt soothing after all the drama. After what Jaden thought was ten minutes, he stepped out of the shower, and threw on his clothes. As he came out of the bathroom while towel drying his hair, he saw that Alexis was already up and holding something in her hand.

"Morning, Lex," he said, walking over the her and giving her a kiss on the cheek, "What do you have there?"

"A note. I just found it on the floor by the balcony doors," Alexis said.

At hearing this, Jaden's eyes narrowed a little, "Have you read it yet?"

"No, I haven't," Alexis said, "I was waiting for you to come out of the shower."

Jaden just nodded. Alexis slowly opened the note and read it out loud.

"If you want to know what the hell's going on, come out to the thieves graveyard at six o'clock two days from today. Bring your friends too. Don't be late!" Alexis said before looking up at Jaden, "It's signed, Yubel's revenger. So, do we tell everyone else?"

"Yes, we should. They're probably going to be dragged into this as well because they were there when Yubel was killed. They have a right to know what is going on," Jaden said while glaring daggers at the note before stuffing it into his pocket.

'Just when you think things can only get better, someone pulls the rug out from under your feet,' Jaden thought darkly to himself.


So, what did you think? Loved it? Hated it? I tried to make it longer to make up for my lack of updating. Well, I guess I will see you all next chapter. Bye for now. Oh, and I will update Not A Normal Reality soon. I just wanted to get another chapter for this story up first.
