Fallen Star walked Rynn back to the group since she couldn't fly. They returned to the group who were waiting around the tree. As soon as Jayde saw Star bringing back Rynn she rolled her eyes. Thorn lifted his head to look at Star. Pitch leaned against the tree, staring at the moon.
"We have another teammate. Everyone let me properly introduce her. This is Rynn Wolfe, she has decided to join our cause." Fallen Star said with one arm around her shoulder. Rynn looked at the other's uneasily wondering what they think of her.
Jayde still was unsure what to think of Rynn but there was something she had to know. "What exactly is our cause? You go around gathering all of us and just say you want revenge. What exactly do you plan to do?"
Star looked at Jayde and was about to answer when a ball of light came from the sky stopping in front of her. "It seems my little spy has returned." She absorbed the ball of light into her body and a vision came to her. The vision was that she was over the North Pole staring into a window. Through that window, she saw a girl. The girl was a ray of colors, her entire outfit screamed lively. On a part of her leg there had been scales instead of skin. Fallen Star did not know much of the girl just her name, it was Amelia Lachen. She knew she was the spirit of Mardi Gras just one of the smaller spirits. Though she wasn't sure what she was doing at the pole. Amelia seems to be waiting for something or someone. Which means that she is now working with the guardians. This entire surge of memory passed through her in a matter of seconds. The group watched her, waiting for an answer, Star's face grew grim. She turned away from the group anger welled up inside her a little.
"I can't believe it!" Star shouted the group jumped back a bit. She turned back to them." They chose a new guardian Pitch. Which makes their force now six to our five." Star paced back and forth.
"They chose a new guardian? Who did they choose?" Pitch asked Fallen Star.
"The guardian of the Mardi Gra Amelia Lachen." Star answered, still pacing wondering what she should do." This means we need to have another person before proceeding with the plan. I will not go up against them unless I have an even force. If we take them on like now there is still a chance we cannot succeed."
"What do you plan to do then?"
"We have to go recruit someone else. I already know who." Star looked at Pitch."We need to recruit the King of Halloween." The rest of the group was unsure how to take this. Who was the King of Halloween they thought.
Pitch shook his head."You can't be serious Star. Him? You choose him to join our ranks? Why on earth would you choose him?"
"Well, I find him to be an interesting spirit. I know he will join us. Right now he is a neutral party but that will change."
"If you say so Fallen Star."
Jayde interrupted their conversation." Who the heck are you both talking about?" She looked at them both, who in turn looked at each other.
"You'll see and around this time of year I know where he is." Fallen Star said."Though we have much distance to travel. We will need to fly to get there. So Thorn get on Pitch's nightmare since you can't fly, Rynn, I'm going to carry you so grab on to my neck. Then everyone follows me." Star turned her back to Rynn so she could hop on her back. Rynn jumped and held on her back and then began to fly slowly, allowing the others to catch up.
After a few hours of flying over the ocean the five reached land. "Where are we?" Thorn asked from behind Pitch on the Nightmare.
Star answered without looking back."We're in Ireland."
"Ireland? What are we doing here?!" Jayde shouted over the winds blowing in her face.
"The person we're looking for is here. Whenever there isn't Halloween he returns home." Star replied, still pushing forward Rynn holding on to her.
Rynn looked at Fallen Star."Why does he get home sick or something?"
"No, he just likes to haunt people. In order to keep himself busy, he has a place that he specifically likes to go to. His favorite haunting spot and we're going there." Star explained out loud.
"He likes to haunt people to keep busy?" Thorn shouted to Fallen Star.
"Sounds like a fun guy?" Jayde said sarcastically.
Rynn asked Star," So why are we having him join us? Also, how do you know where he goes?"
"Believe it or not he will be useful because he is not just the king of Halloween but fear itself. I know where he goes because I'm a star I watch over the world below." Star announced to the group. After a few minutes of more flying they landed in a city on the roof top of a dance club.
"Wait, is it here? He's at a dance club?" Jayde asked, motioning to the club underneath their feet." What reason is this his favorite haunting spot?" Rynn and Thorn were looking over the side at the people lining up to get inside the club. The music pounding on the roof beneath them and leaking out every time the front door opened.
"There's a lot of people here making it easy for haunting to go unnoticed. The same reason for the place. Despite his nature, he is actually intelligent." Pitch explained.
"So does that mean he will be in there? How do we know?" Rynn asked, walking back to Star's side. Thorn walked to the opposite side of the club peering over the edge. It was an empty back lot. When suddenly the door swung open and a girl ran out in a panic.
"Something tells me he's here alright." Thorn told the group pointing to the girl."A girl just ran out like she saw something terrible."
"Well then I guess we better find him. Alright, I want everyone to stay together." Star commanded the group.
"Um, no offense, but how are we going to go unnoticed in the club. We don't exactly look like we fit in." Jayde inquired placing a hand on Thorn and indicating to everyone with her free hand.
Fallen Star and Pitch began to laugh at her question. "Jayde let me explain how it is we work. We are only seen if we people believe in us. If we aren't well then, we're like spirits. Except we have more power and effect in this world unlike ghosts. I thought you would have understood that a while ago." Star explained with a small laugh here and there.
"So, since people don't believe we exist. They can't see or hear us?" Thorn queried and Star nodded.
Rynn looked horrified. "Wait... Ghosts are real?" It seemed to be the only bit of information that stood out to her.
Star sighed. "Yes they do, but that's beside the point." She placed a hand over her face.
"So how come my dad could see me?" Jayde questioned Star and Pitch.
"That is because I made him believe in you. In my nightmare I made him aware of your existence which allowed him to see you." Pitch responded to her question.
"So by the human's standards we technically don't exist." Rynn stated.
"Well, all of you except me. They believe I exist, but not as a human so to them I will look like a normal human. It gives me a sort of glamour to move among them. In any case, let's go." Star said and jumped down to the side to the back door. The door was locked so Pitch had to slip through and unlock it for her. When the door opened from the other side music poured out the opening. When they stepped in it was like an entirely new world. They huddled together at the back entrance, though the humans could only see Star. The club was large and filled with people everywhere. Making it impossible for them to find someone in such a large crowd, but they had to do it. The King of Halloween was strong and would attack anyone who catches his eye, whether it be human or spirit.
"What does he look like?" Jayde asked Star and Pitch.
"He's tall, about six-foot. Black spiky hair, very pale, piercing blue eyes. He usually wears all black." Star described him. The moment she finished Jayde disappeared through the crowd. Phasing through the people like a ghost would.
"Jayde get back here!" Star commanded, but Jayde was gone in the flurry of the crowd. Jayde continued to walk until she reached the stage of the club in which the Dj stood. She scanned the crowd when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She turned her neck to see, and there were her twin brothers standing in the crowd. They looked the way they had the night of the fire. What are they doing in here? She flew over to them, but the moment she stood before them they ran. Jayde chased after them as they weaved through the crowd until reaching a corner of the dance club which had no light. Suddenly she began to hear a low crackling of fire. Then screams, they were the screams of her brothers and... Mom? What's going on here? A figure, then began to come out of the shadows. Jayde's eyes grew wide and she let out a shriek of terror. Before Jayde was a burned version of her mother joined by her scarred siblings. Star heard the scream and she and the group ran through the crowd to the source. There they saw Jayde on the ground, pushing trying to crawl away from something. When the others saw it, it took the shape of things they feared. To Rynn it was the rabid wolf who killed her, to Thorn it was an image of his family members bleeding from their wounds, to Pitch it was a horde of Nightmares. Fallen Star only saw what was really there which was the source causing the fear. She jumped in front of Jayde shielding her from his power. She then grew bright Jayde was quick to cover her eyes. When the light dulled, she stopped to see the one who they were looking for on his knees holding his face.
"You blinded me, you, Ah!" He spat at Star who stood before him.
"Oh, stop it Samhain. Don't be so dramatic you'll live and your eyesight will be just fine." Star said without remorse. The others just stood squinting for a moment because they couldn't see. "Everyone meet me outside the back when you regain your sight." Star then grabbed Samhain by his shirt and dragged him out the club. The humans around them not paying attention to what was happening. She walked right out the back door and tossed him against the wall.
"Ugh, Jeez, why so violent?" Samhain asked her, rubbing his eyes, slowly regaining vision in his blue eyes.
"That was for attacking my friend back there." Star responded coldly.
"So what was blinding me for?"
"Oh, that was just to stop you. It is also a warning that if you try that again on my friends I will cause permanent blinding."
"Alright than so what do you want? You never come down here unless it's a special occasion."
"Oh its special alright. I'm here to overthrow my father along with his precious Guardians."
