I'm back! And possibly going to post this late… Who knows? Anyhow, I figured that I needed 2 flashbacks in this chapter, and that's what I'm planning… If it works. Let's get to it!

Izzy's POV

I walk down the halls, looking for the right room. This place is so big that it's hard to keep track where different areas are. Turning left, I see exactly what I was looking for. A door with a sign over it that has a fork and a knife. Sahara said she wanted me to meet her in here to discuss our plan. Walking in, a delicious smell fills the air. My mouth begins to water and I walk to the table where Sahara was waiting with a banquet of food in front of her.

"What is all this?" I ask picking up a breadstick.

"Put that back Izzy." I look at her with a pouty face and set it back where it was before. "I figured that we need to earn our prisoners trust. We are going to dine with him, not only for that purpose, but I also need information."

"And I couldn't eat the breadstick why?" I ask slightly annoyed. I hadn't eaten all day and now I have to wait longer.

"Because Cole isn't in here yet. I figured that you would get him." She responded.

"Why do I have to get him? I need to go back to my room in about an hour so I can give the ninja nightmares. The blue one in particular. I can't turn people into my puppets during the day you know." I reply.

"You want to eat don't you?"

"Yes."

"Then go get him! We aren't eating until you do."

"Fine." I twirl my fingers and a black dust like substance appears in my palm. I blow it in front of me to form a black knight. "Bring our prisoner here immediately. You better be back in 30 seconds or else I will squish you like a grape." The soldier saluted and ran off to the prison cells. I turn to Sahara and she just rolls her eyes.

"I meant for you to do it yourself."

I just shrug and wait.

Cole's POV

I open my eyes when I hear the door creak open. A black knight walks in, unlocks my chains, and puts handcuffs on instead. He pulls me to my feet and starts pushing me out the door. I walk and he leads me into a dining room where I can see Izzy and Sahara. Izzy was twirling a fork around with her hand, and Sahara was walking over to me.

"Izzy, make the knight go away. We have no use for him right now." Sahara says while turning towards her.

She snaps her fingers and the black knight fades into a black dust. "Can we eat now? I'm starving." I notice that her eyes have a dark tint to them.

Sahara rolls her eyes. "Be patient. We let Cole eat first." She grabs a key out of her pocket and takes off the handcuffs. She then takes out 2 bracelets. She puts one on my arm and one on her own. "Take a seat."

Sitting down, I grab a piece of cake that was in front of me. (Of course that's what he would grab. What did you expect?) As I bite into it, I discover that its ice cream cake. I start practically in-hailing the rest of the cake. "Save some for me will you?" Izzy says, grabbing one of the 3 pieces left.

"So…" I start. "What is this all about?" They look at each other and Sahara speaks up to answer my question.

"Just thought we should get to know you. Maybe become friends." I raise an eyebrow.

"Why would I trust the people who took me away from my home and chained me in a dungeon for…? I think it's been 3 days." I ask.

"Because we're feeding you. Do you want it or not? I could eat this all by myself you know." Izzy says while biting a piece of cake. I grab a grape and put it in my mouth.

"So Izzy," I start. "Meghan said that you're my sister. Is that true?" She looks at me for a moment before responding.

"Yes." she looks back at the food and grabs a bowl of Chicken Alfredo noodles. "What else did she tell you? Nothing else about me… right?" she glares at me.

I shift uncomfortably. "She said that you have control over nightmares, and that you're the person who killed mom." A pained look crossed Izzy's face. "But um, she said it wasn't your fault."

"No." She started. "It's my entire fault." The dark glow around her eyes vanishes while she talks. "I shouldn't have left Meghan. I knew something would happen. I just wanted to fend for myself and not be by her side every second of every day. I didn't realize that there was a reason for it. Until it was too late…" I see her eyes begin to glaze over. She wipes them and her eyes become dark again. "But that's in the past. If I didn't do that, I wouldn't be where I am today. Free from my sisters side and free to make my own choices."

"…" The table grows silent and the only sound is Izzy eating her noodles. "Anyways, I have to go give people nightmares." I look at her with a confused face. She ignores me and walks out the door. I then notice a black cat following her. 'What in the world…'

Back At the Bounty

Jay's POV

As we were waiting for Meghan, we hear a loud crash. Getting up, I walk out into the hall. I see a broken window shattered all over the place. Kai comes soon after and sees the window. "Did you do that?" he asks me.

"I was in the room with you guys when we heard the crash stupid." He glares at me and I walk over to the broken shards. "Do you have any idea what did this? I can't spot anything that would have."

"No." Zane then comes soon after with Nya.

"What did that?" Nya asks.

"I don't know. Zane, can you see anything?" Zane looks around for a moment before shaking his head no.

"I do not see anything that could have crashed through the window, but I do sense that there is someone on the ship that shouldn't be." I look around trying to spot anyone but see nothing.

"I don't see anything. Should we look arou-"I was interrupted by a small squeaking sound. I turn to the source of the noise and see an old friend. "Logan?"

A short chapter but it still works. I will post again Saturday. Sorry I missed last Saturday. This should make up for it. See you next time! Peace!
