Since it is Wednesday, that means it is chapter update time! Monday was a special case because I love holidays and wanted to do something special. That and I really love the upcoming chapters so I do want to get them out sooner. I guess I will stop with this author's note and get on to the story!

Disclaimer: I own nothing. But I do own: Sara, Thanatos and Adelfos, who is introduced in this chapter!


As Sara came slowly into consciousness, she relaized two things: one, that she was in a cage, and two, her foot was bound to the wall with a shackle. She was glad that at least one of the monsters she killed granted her the very useless night vision she needed now.

"Where am I? HELLO? Can any one hear me? I would enjoy it if you would LET ME GO!" She yelled, hoping someone would hear her.

"Well now. I wouldn't want you to leave me again, now would I? What kind of host would I be?" Came the smooth talking voice of Thanatos from what appeared to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

"Well, I think that you would be a better one if you LET ME OUT!" Then he turned on the lights. Sara shielded her eyes for a moment, then she saw him, just as he was all those years ago. His wavy light brown, short cut hair, his surfer boy body, and his captivating blue eyes.

"Now, now, there is no need to shout. Now that you are awake, I will take you to your room." The door of the cage opened and he walked in. Sara sank towards the wall.

"No need to be frightened, my dear. I have a surprise waiting up in your room anyways." He unlocked the shackle from her ankle and grabbed Sara's arm with an unnecessary strength. Then he lead her up the stairs, down the hall, up more stairs, and finally to a door.

"Wow, you really have out done yourself this time, Thanatos." She sneered as he opened the door. Inside was a canopy bed, in a light blue color, a full sized dresser, plus matching vanity mirror, and a wall length mirror.

"Get some sleep." He threw her onto the bed, breaking her trace, "You have a big day tomorrow."

"Wait, I thought you had a surprise for me?" Sara said, quoting his earlier words. Thanatos stopped, turned and grinned.

"Oh yes. Adelfos, come in here please." A young boy, about five in age, with his muted red hair and tattered jeans and grey tee shirt, walked in.

"How is that a surprise?" She asked, looking at the little boy.

"So the years made your memory weak? Don't you remember your brother?" Thanatos glanced down at the boy, putting his arm around Adelfos's shoulder.

"My brother?" She looked at him curiously, then gasped, "My brother. So how long has he been here?"

"Long enough to tell me about you," Thanatos's smooth voice informed her.

"I wasn't scared one bit, Sister!" The small boy piped up, in a voice much to high to be his own, and ran to give Sara a hug. She calmly sat there hugging him back.

"I want to take this opportunity for you and your brother to get reacquainted. You have ten minutes." And Thanatos left Sara alone with her brother.

"You do realize that I will have to kill you, in order to send you back?" Sara whispered to him, letting go of Adelfos and shoving him away slightly.

He just smiled and in a deeper voice whispered back, "Yeah, but this way it will take you longer!" Adelfos started pacing in front of Sara. "I think this is a great cover. Me and you, related? Oh, that was the hardest story to keep straight. You won't be able to kill me, I'm too clever!"

"Yeah right! You have only evaded me because I was more worried about the others escaping!"

"How many are left?" Adelfos stopped pacing and looked at the mirror instead.

"You and Sodari..." Sara thought for a moment, "Yeah, that's it. Then I will be able to go back."

"I don't think that will be soon though, Sodari and I are the more cunning of the Seven." Turning back to face Sara, Adelfos spoke without missing a beat. "Even if you do kill me and send me back, you still have Sodari to worry about."

"When I kill you, not if." Sara shook her head at the kid's stupidity. "After all, it won't be hard to kill a runt like you!"

"HEY!" Adelfos was about to retort back, when the door swung open.

"Time's up, you will have more time soon, but for now you should sleep. Come along, Adelfos." Thanatos lead the little liar out of the room, locking the door behind them.

'I'll get you for that 'runt' comment!' Adelfos fumed silently in his head, before being lead away by his enemies captor.


Adelfos is a little brat. He is the little sibling I wish I had. Oh, goodness me, editing this chapter was so rough on me. I had to change all of the Chihon's to Thanatos's, and Haku's to Adelfos's. Sometimes I wish I would have picked out easier names to type and change, but the new names make me happier. I have never seen them in any other stories I've read. I am trying to not have common names for this story. Is it working?

As always, review, follow and favorite this story! And share it as well! I enjoy hearing comments, good or bad, in the reviews.

But that is all for now, I guess. See you next Wednesday!
