I do not own the OC, Amy, or Kane's outfit both of which are the creations of pinksakura271.

Amy looked at her best friend with obvious concern in her eyes. She knew it'd been a week since the incident, and Ciara had yet to even tell her what the favor she was going to call in on Mal was.

"Now I'm nervous. The last time you let a favor simmer for this long you made Kane steal the Cromwell Talisman."

Amy whined. Their friend had never been the same, but since he'd gotten full access to his magical powers, he'd become an even better thief.

"I know. I can smell your anxiety. Seriously, you smell like cherries when you're nervous."

Ciara whined, wrinkling her nose slightly. Amy laughed. For some strange reason, even before the two of them had become friends, Ciara had hated the smell of burning roses and sakura cherry blossoms. Anything that reminded her of cherries was normally alright, unless it was coming off someone who usually smelled like strawberries apparently.

"Sorry Golden."

Amy said softly, using her new nickname for her significantly taller friend. Ciara shrugged as they walked into the cafeteria and spotted Fairy Godmother trying to unstick Audrey from the ceiling.

"She does know that's not gonna work, right?"

Amy asked. This was the fourth time that week and there was no progress. Ciara chuckled, picking up an apple as she walked with her tail.

"Meh, let her keep trying. I'll be impressed if she can undo my spell work."

Amy sighed. Ever since she'd told Ciara Audrey and Chad had been picking on her, Ciara's protective side had made an appearance. Which was the only reason Chad was only getting half of each meal a day. Anything else he tried to eat the phantoms would make him get sick from or the harpies would steal it. Though Ciara had dispatched them after Amy called in a favor of her own.

Deciding to sit in the front garden, Amy was rather surprised when a shadowy portal that exuded the sense of incoming doom opened on the other side of Ciara, who was sitting on the back of the bench to keep from having to fold her wings. Amy however, was happy to see one of her other friends, Kane, fly through the portal with his talisman in hand.

His outfit was relatively simple. A black leather jacket that was unzipped just enough to show a navy blue muscle shirt along with dark grey pants tucked into navy blue metal boots.

"Hey Ciara. You wanted me to oversee one of your favors?"

Amy's eyes got big and she looked at her friend.

"Golden, what favor are you cashing in on?"

Ciara smiled a bit darkly.

"Years ago, Maleficent took something from me. I want Mal to steal it back."

Amy blinked.

"But why not just ask me to get it?! You know I hate her!"

Ciara nodded.

"I do. But I also know what my amulet has inside it. You're an empath. If I put you anywhere near my amulet you'd go insane because of all the spirits I've locked inside it after torturing them to power the stupid thing, only to have it ripped out of my hands. That missing amulet is the reason I can't pass for a normal human."

Amy looked at her friend in shock.

"Still, why would you want to pass as a human?!"

Ciara looked at her and her eyes flashed dangerously.

"Because if Aurora or Snow White tries to baptize me or give me an exorcism one more time I'm going to crucify them both. And I'd like to be able to sit in class without my wings giving me a hard time."

Amy nodded. She'd seen the struggle Ciara ended up having almost daily with trying to maneuver her massive wings in tight areas.

"Alright, but why is he going? It's not that I don't trust him, but-"

Ciara looked at her for a long moment.

"Think of it little Loan Dragon."

Amy nodded.

"Oh…..you don't trust Mal to get the amulet for you and actually return it, so Kane is going to make sure you get your amulet back. And why do I feel like the only other reason you asked Mal to get it is because someone with Maleficent's blood can get past the security and you don't feel like trying to outpower it."

Ciara smiled.

"Check, check, and check. Give the girl a prize!"

She said, conjuring a pink stuffed cat toy and passing it to Amy. Amy hugged her new present as Mal walked by in front of them.

"Hey Mal, come here for a second!"

Amy called to her twin. Mal sat on the side opposite Amy from Ciara and looked at Ciara's eyes.

"Crud, I owe you for saving my life, don't I?"

Ciara nodded.

"And I'm calling in my favor. Your mother, Maleficent, stole something from me. A very special amulet full of tortured souls. Retrieve it for me, and I'll consider your debt repaid in full."

Mal's eyes flashed green for a second.

"I'm not going to do that. No way!"

Amy spoke up.

"You owe me a favor too sis. You almost killed my best friend and I'm the only reason she didn't kill you. So my favor is that you don't tick her off and make her destroy your soul. You know how serious she is with her favors."

Mal huffed.

"Fine. I guess Kane is going with me? Where've you been anyway? I thought you would've been here with Ciara."

Kane blinked.

"I was on the Isle. Father is teaching me alchemy now."

Mal nodded and both Ciara and Amy looked at him funny, knowing that he had mastered alchemy a long time ago and just didn't want to tell Mal anything that may be important. Ciara smiled.

"I'll need it by Walpurgis Night."

Mal and Amy were both confused by that one.

"I'm sorry, when? What the heck is Walpurgis Night?!"

Ciara huffed.

"The witch's sabbath. Since I'm finally strong enough to do the same thing my father does, I'm going to end up doing it whether I want to or not unless I have that amulet. I don't think anyone is going to like me opening the doors to the underworld and letting the spirits run free for my own dark twisted amusement until daybreak. Mostly because I'm probably going to target the closest sources of magic. Which, knowing me, will probably end up being someone important like FG or someone. Not good."

Kane nodded.

"That's why Maleficent and Chernabog hate each other. She was in Slovenia on Walpurgis Night and he almost absorbed her magical core. And don't even ask what happens if you don't get it to her before the first day of Spring."

Amy looked at Ciara, who had a vacant look in her eyes.

"I'll go on a rampage. It's from my mother's end of the DNA. I'd end up burning down all of Auradon."

She said softly. Amy's jaw went slack. This was all new information to her, and it very obviously showed.
