Nope, all good guesses, but nah. True reason to be revealed…in this chapter? Yay, we reached double digits! Ah, this story's anniversary also comes along soon…and thanks for all the reviews thus far. :)

Chapter 10: What Do You Mean I Did That?

The silver-haired girl awoke, groaning. Her head was spinning in different directions, so many that she lost track of everything for a moment. When Train's face entered her eyes, she shot up…and accidentally hit him in the head, knocking the both of them into a state of pain.

"Huh? What? Where?" Shira stuttered, looking around. She was in the room she had shared with Eve and Ellie, but this time Train and Sven were also in there.

"Ow! That hurt you know!" Train told her, rubbing his forehead. He closed one eye and grimaced at the collusion point.

"I'm sorry…but what happened? Why are you guys in here?" Train and Sven looked at each other before looking at her.

"You…don't remember anything from last night? Nothing at all?" Sven asked. Shira scratched her head, trying to remember what it was that happened last night. A moment passed before she spoke up again.

"I…remember something…about the middle of the night…I somehow got up and grabbed something. I can't remember what it was though…I'm sorry, that's it."

"Well, to tell you the truth," Eve told her, "you grabbed a knife and attempted to murder Train."

"What do you mean I did that?! I would never attack a friend!" Shira was just as shocked to this comment as Train was to her trying to kill him.

"We're puzzled too…but, I guess we can't go to conclusions until we have all the evidence," Sven told her, a cigarette in his mouth. Shira got out of the bed and looked around. Everybody was there, watching her; this made her feel pressured.

"I'm…going to go buy some stuff, okay?"

"Oh, can I come with you?" Ellie piped in, her face beaming.

"Er, sure…," Shira answered, walking through the door with the younger girl following her. Sven, Train, and Eve stared at the door for a moment.

"Does anything seem different…about those two?" Eve asked. Train and Sven shrugged.

Both Shira and Ellie walked down a vacant alleyway as a shortcut into the marketplace. Something made them stop about halfway through though. Ellie got in front of Shira, smirking.

"Stop the façade already, were out of their range of hearing and seeing," she ordered. Shira grinned, knowing the gig was up; she removed her silver haired wig and revealed brown hair under it.

"Why'd you do that, Ellie?" "she" asked. Her voice had changed to somebody else's. Ellie shrugged.

"Had to make it look real, right? Anyway, no hard feelings, Lin?" Lin shrugged.

"You do well yourself, impersonating a young girl. How old did you say you were?"

"Sixteen," Ellie replied, leaning against the wall. "Where do you have the girl now?"

"Somewhere here. Any plans on attacking Black Cat yet?" Ellie fiddled with her girly dress, thinking.

"My possession thing didn't seem to work, considering you stopped it. You need to know which is helping and which isn't, Lin."

"How can I not, Ellie? You did it all of a sudden, without any warnings whatsoever." Ellie grinned foolishly. She rubbed her head as she thought about it.

"Sorry. Look, I have another plan, and I'm sorry to say, you need to disguise Shira a little longer. Go shopping and then disappear to a place somewhere on the east side of the city. I'll go inform the others that "you" went missing and get Train's friends separated from him. Then, I'll strike, got it?"

"Fine," Lin replied curtly, putting the silver-haired wig back on quickly and once again masquerading as the girl. He then left through the alleyway towards the east side while Ellie walked backwards, taking her time to get back. Maybe she would take a trip to where the real Shira was held. They both had to make this look as real as possible.

Shira coughed as she awoke. What had happened while she was out cold? When she was walking back from the cemetery, somebody hit her on her back and placed something over her mouth to knock her out. As she understood her surroundings she quickly jumped up, but she was encased in what looked like a glass pillar. Slamming on it once with her fist, she tested its thickness and sturdiness. It was too strong to be broken by her hands alone. Her hand reached for her knives she had stashed away, but she found them to be missing. She banged the glass once again.

"What's going on?!" she asked herself. A shadow appeared from out of the corner of the room and passed her, revealing the figure. "You?!"

"Oh, so you remember me?" Ellie asked playfully. "I'm afraid you're unarmed." Ellie twirled one of Shira's custom made knives around, careful not to slice herself.

"What's going on?!" Shira repeated. "Answer me!"

"Well, let's just say you've been captured. By the organization Chornos." Ellie smirked as she stopped the blade. "I don't think I've introduced myselve, seeing as I know who you are and you don't know me, Shira. I'm Ellie Klinefield, Chronos number 13, please to meet you again."

"Number 13—just how old are you, Ellie?!"

"Maybe the youngest. I'm sixteen if you wish to know, but you don't have to take that into consideration, because in two days you will be sent to Chronos…and destroyed." Ellie smirked a devil smile. Shira shuddered as she pondered the word destroyed.

Well, short chappie cause I've got school and my damn brother is yelling at me to go to sleep (so is my mom). Later guys!
