CHAPTER 4: EXILE

I woke the next morning with a smile on my face. Feeling that today would be a very good day, I skipped down the stairs. Macon was already sitting at the table and was eating breakfast. I sat down next to him and ate too. The morning went by pretty well.

The gang showed up around lunch. I was going to practice a little more and spar with them. I was starting to get nervous. Having such great powers went I had to be very careful. I could potential mess up this world and Lena's life. But I had to do this or a lot of people would die.

We practiced small stuff like fire and time again. It was pretty amusing and challenging, but in a good way. We took a break and planned out what to do.

"Well Ridley or Macon is your only options to spar with." Liv said. "Each has pros and cons. Ridley, for an example, would give us a better view of your powers. She wouldn't go easy on you. The con is that you could do something disastrous. Macon would go easy on you and wouldn't mess up anything. I guess it is a matter of what is best right now."

"Well, while you knuckle heads think about it, Hot Rod and I are going to Exile." Ridley said.

"The club bar thing?" I asked not fully remembering. I just remembered that it was bad news.

"Yes." Ridley rolled your eyes. "Have you never been to that scene before?" She smirked.

"No. And I won't now. It's dangerous." I shook my head.

"It will be fine. We can all go." She said, pulling out a lollipop.

"No." I repeated. "And Macon wouldn't allow it!"

"Wow. You are going to listen to Macon?" She laughed.

"Yes. I-." I started.

"You listen to your parents back home?"

"Well my mom. See, I am alive and chosen for greatness. So I think it worked out."

"You need to chill."

"No. I don't. All of things are on the line here. We can just go party. I am in someone else's body. I can't parade around in it. And I have to be aware of the balances. And worlds are on the line!" I went into a rage and it started to storm. I took calming breaths and it disappeared before the rain could come.

"Fine!" She snapped. "We will go by ourselves."

Link and Ridley left. All of us went inside and sat quietly. I was surprised that Macon didn't yell at me. It was late when we started to wonder if they could come back. I was getting worried.

"I don't like this. Shouldn't they have been back?" I said aloud.

"Maybe, but I have a bad feeling too." John Breed said.

"Should we go looking for them?" Liv asked.

"I don't feel that would be wise." Macon said.

"We have to go help them!" Ethan said. "Link is my best friend."

"We will be careful, sir." John Breed said.

"All of us will go and protect each other." I said hoping he wouldn't yell.

"Uh." He sighed. "Well I supposed you children will just sneak out so I will say yes."

"Yeah!" John Breed said.

"Thanks." I said.

"But, be back in an hour! If not, I will come for you and all of your will be in serious trouble." Macon told us.

"Yes sir."

All of us went to the tunnel near the carnival grounds. We went down the scary invisible stairs and I was instantly scared of the stygian place. Slowly we made our way through the graves. Finally we made it to Exile. I looked at my phone and saw that we didn't have much time.

Using my hunter instincts, I went through the back. There was a small hallway of rooms. I looked at the other three. I motioned for John Breed and Liv to go out to the front and of Ethan to follow me. I had a horrible feeling that we would be walking into danger.

After checking the first three doors and seeing storage, we stopped at the last one. It was locked. Pulling the bobby pin out of my hair, I broke in. I was in shock.

Ridley and Link were in a huge cage, knocked out. Quietly I served the room and walked in. Ethan stayed right behind me. I went over to the cage and woke them up.

"It's a dark caster and an Incubuses. Get out of here." Ridley said.

"I'm afraid it's too late." I heard a man say in a French accent.

I turned around to see a man with yellow eyes with two beefy guards. They were holding on to John and Liv, both knocked out. No! I looked them over and thought of a plan. I could use magic but I had to be carefully about it.

"Lena Duchannes. We knew you would come." He said.

"Course. The good guy always does and kicks some bad guy ass." I said.

"Wow. Such language for such a beautiful young lady." Mr. French scolded

"Yeah, whatever. What do you want?" I wondered.

"I want the girl that messed up the Order dead." He grinned.
