There were no magical beings close to my house, so Jack flew us. To be honest, the first time I was lifted up by the wind, I kind of freaked out. I didn't show it to Jack of course, he would only tease me about it. After a while, I somehow got used to it and I could follow him without screaming I my mind. I quite enjoyed flying at the end, mini fairy even helped me do some simple tricks in the air. We got to my house very soon and I saw people in the house. I and warned Jack to stay outside until I gave a sign and broke into the house using the second window on the second floor, the one of my room. I was sure they didn't know about the weapons I had installed. I quickly activated the device in my watch and climbed into the room.

"Hello A, what nice of you to drop in.", a familiar voice said.

I kept my hands behind my back, ready to activate the weapons. "Archaelye, you better come out now or I won't be so nice when I find you and the other 66 assassins."

A woman with cerulean blue eyes and chestnut brown hair came out of the shadows. About 15 people followed her with their guns and bows out. "You know A, if you didn't read the file and wasn't as smart as you are, you would still be the best assassin we've ever had. Much better than your parents ever were..."

I smirked. "I know I'm good, Archaelye. Good enough to take your job over. That's why you went after me, isn't it? I just sorry to have to kill every one of you. I remember a few of you from Dalycian, though I know you just saw me as a freak..."

Archaelye laughed. "How do you plan on killing 66 highly trained assassins on your own?"

I smiled. "Simple Archaelye, watch." I showed her my watch and pushed a button. Out of nowhere red dots were on all of them and some on places I hadn't seen yet. "This device I invented years ago, scans the room for different temperatures in the room. The room itself should be around -3º Celsius with the snow outside. The average temperature of a human is 37º Celsius. Since we are a higher temperature, we get targeted. However, the only way to prevent it, is to wear this watch." I grinned at them. "Goodbye." I pushed the button for sedative and they were shot at them.

Before Archaelye was out, she said one last thing. "You know, I lied about your parents. They never went to Dalycian."

I heard them fall down but wasn't sure if all of them were down and took a knife out. I quickly went through all the rooms and counted them: Derek, Levy, Jake, Terrance, Simon, Oliver, Hayden, Raven, Lisa, Vera, Jason; Sector K. Jonathan, Kaito, Luna, Valerie, Enrique, Brandon, Joseph, Taehyun, Trish, Cain, Tiernan; Sector B. Louis, Rain, Caitlin, Elisabeth, Avelyn, Finn, Gerard, Paige, Kate, Lindsay, Belize; Sector X. Miyu, Miya, Patrick, Melanie, James, Andrew, Nora, Lucas, Maverick, Shin, Norman; Sector T. Natalie, Helen, Dirk, Chris, Lorry, Ren, Stephen, Lauren, Rick, Mark, Nathan; Sector Z. Max, John, Wendy, Sandra, Kyle, Marcus, Scott, Taylor, Silvia, Damion, Zachery; Sector S. There were precisely 66 people.

I gathered them and bound them in comfortable positions. I went back to my room and took a duffel bag out. The books were already inside, all I needed to do was to get some clothes and to leave. I quickly gathered everything and gave Jack a sigh to come in.

Jack flew in and was shocked at the amount of people. "What the hell! Anna, how did you-? Are they dead?"

I shook my head. "They are only sedated, but... I need to finish the goddamn thing. I can't leave them like this Jack. This woman." I pointed at Archaelye. "She framed me for all this shit. That guy wasn't bad at all, he was just a person from the government. These people Jack, I know them. They were with me in Dalycian, the school in the mountains. They have even more blood on their hands than I have..."

Jack shook his head. "There must be a way to end it peacefully, Anna."

"There isn't Jack." I said with my head down. "If–"

My mobile went off and I took it out of my pocket. There was a message from someone I know..

ID: T

Number: 06-...

anna,

This is Tyson.
Archaelye went to your house, be careful
K, S, T, X, Z, B were send too.
Each of them heavily armed.

The School is going down when they are dead.

Everyone is safe.
Moreover, there will never be a child who has to go under this all again.

Of the children before you, three has been working with the FBI
Uora and Yllas are two of them
The situation is taken care of.

you know what to do Anna, I trust you.
leave your sign for the police
good luck, Tyson

I smiled as I read the message. "Jack, I have to do it now..." I showed him the message. "Read the capitalized letters at the begin of each line."

"T– Take. T– Them. O– Out. Take them out? You mean...?" Jack looked concerned.

"Literally, kill them." I said with a straight face. "Jack don't look at me like that, yes, that guy told me to take out 67 people. If I don't hundreds, no, thousands children over the world will turn out like me. No friends, no one to trust. Doomed to kill forever... Dalycian had 3000 children, yet it is only one of this kind of schools in the world. Dalycian was the smallest of them, Jack. After these 67 people are dead, the schools will be closed." I looked him in the eyes. "It is one or the other Jack."

I could see him fighting over this. Killing people was bad, but forcing people into the training was something he should prevent as a soon-to-be Guardian. "How do you know you can trust this Tyson, Anna? He could be doing the same as that woman."

I smiled. "Simple. Tyson is the name of my partner, he was helping me to get me out of this all."

After a few seconds, Jack nodded and agreed. Even though he said okay, I felt he was against it. I put everything I needed in the duffel bag and let very flammable gas leak in the house. I put a platinum necklace with a black butterfly shaped crystal and a platinum, feather-shaped pendant around all their necks and put a necklace precisely like Sophie's around my neck.

"We should go now. We still have to bring Sophie back.", I said.

Jack summoned the wind again and blew us to Sophie's house. I stayed on the roof and waited until Jack came out. When he closed the window, he looked at mini fairy with relief. He flew to me and grinned sheepishly. I raised an eyebrow in question but he dismissed it. I shrugged.

"We should get back.", he said. Mini fairy and I nod. Jack suddenly turned in confusion. "That voice, I know that voice..."

I looked at him in confusion. "What voice Jack? No one spoke."

Jack seemed not to hear me and leaped off. I followed with mini fairy in my pocket. Jack used the wind to carry him across the town and I followed him as fast as I could. He landed on a vent and I landed behind him. I walked up to him.

"Jack..." I called to him and he turned.

He put his hand out and I grabbed it. He leaped of the vent and the wind blew us into the woods. Landing in a rather spooky looking clearing in a thick wooded area. Jack seemed to hear something again and sprinted off. I quickly followed and almost ran into him as he suddenly stopped. We're in another clearing and in front of us is a rotten, broken bed with a dark hole under it. Mini fairy begins to squeak in fear from my pocket.

Jack tried to reassure it. "Don't worry, there's still time."

Jack walked closer and broke the bed using his staff to reveal how deep the hole is. He prepared to jump in but I stopped him.

"Jack, I can't fly. Promise to catch me?" I asked.

He nodded and jumped in. I heard him land and turned back to the city. I sighed, pushed the button 'ignite' button on my watch and jumped in. Just like he promised, he caught me and put me on the ground. We followed the tunnel and entered a very big cave. Mini fairy flew out and tugged on Jack's hoodie. "Baby Tooth, Baby...come on! I have to find out what that is."

We walked a bit further and saw many bird cages dangling from the ceiling. The cages were filled with mini fairies.

"Holy shit...", I whispered.

Jack jumped up to help but was suddenly distracted. I followed Jack with my eyes as he jumped down and landed in front of the mount of containers. My eyes widen in understanding. 'It was a memory calling to him...' The cave became darker and darker and I instinctively unfolded my bow. I put one of the poisoned knives on it and searched for the dress wearing villain.

Pitch's voice echoed through the cave. "Looking for something?" Jack took off and followed Pitch, I followed him as quiet as possible and merged a bit into the shadows. "Don't be afraid, Jack. I'm not going to hurt you, maybe little Fith–."

"It's Anastasia for you, dress wearing, eyebrow less bastard!", I said. My voice came from the opposite side of the cave. I was glad I took class in ventriloquism back in Dalycian. Jack snorted and a smirk was plastered on his face.

He whispered from behind me. "Oh, little girl, you can't fool me with your tricks. I know more about you and your family than you think, dear..." I elbowed the shadow behind me and stabbed it with a knife. "Miss, dear."

Jack walked into a small corridor and I followed, not wanting to lose him. Pitch went back to taunt Jack. "I can feel fear from you Jack? Don't tell me you really are afraid?"

"Afraid?", Jack asked. "I'm not afraid of you!"

"Maybe not. But you are afraid of something.", Pitch taunted. He was still a shadow on the walls.

From Jack his stance, I noticed he was cautious and alert now. "You think so, huh?"

"I know so. It's the one thing I always know.", Pitch said. He finally emerged and faced Jack. I tried to shoot the knife, but something stopped me. I turned my head and saw a tentacle of Nightmare sand grabbing me. I tried to wriggle out but it didn't work.

I opened my mouth scream. "Ja–" Another tentacle appeared and wrapped around my mouth.

My bow fell on the ground with a loud smack.

Jack heard it and turned to me. "Let her go, Pitch!"

"Why should I, Jack?", Pitch said. "This girl, Anna, Anne, Anastasia or how people call her, it doesn't matter how people call her, she's still the same girl. The same as the day I killed her parents and lit her house on fire."

I could see his eyes widen in horror and felt myself do the same. 'Those images I saw... Then, they are true! Mother, she's still alive, she became the Guardian of Faith! And she isn't human, or at least, not really...'

"Jack, Jack, Jack... You will never understand how important little Fithe– augh!" I managed to throw a small knife which was hidden in my sleeve. The knife was stuck in his ass. I couldn't contain my laughter and soon the cave was echoing my voice. Jack, who saw it too, had placed a hand over his mouth and was trying to keep his laughter in.

The black sand around me became more and more until I was covered. Still struggling against it, I felt myself being taken away. With a hit on my head, I blacked out.

AN: Cliffhanger! To sum it up: Anna's mother is still alive, her mother became the Guardian of Faith, Anna's name is almost revealed, Anna isn't fully human and Pitch has something planned for her. Oops, revealed to much. -pinch myself-

Anyway. Woo~! Another one! I wish it would go as fast every week, but school is trying to take the imagination from us and fill it with things most people don't even want to know. =) I might not post another chapter until Thursday, but who knows. -shrugs-

To T1nyDanc3r: Hehe... I think you've already seen my review, but I still want to say it again: I love the Arena! I'm glad you like the part in Jack's PoV. The next chapter will reveal everything I planned. =D I hope you liked this chapter too!

Please Review! Or Anna will come after you. Look! She's already behind you in that shadow. I would quickly review if I was you.
