"Do…do you really think its wise for us to split up now, Jake" asked Cassie tentatively after Jake gave out some orders.

"Sorry Cassie, but we'll have to," Jake responded kindly. "We don't know what Illusions is really up too. He said something about having chaos in the streets. Anybody up for checking out downtown?"

"I have to demorph real soon anyways," Tobias said raising his hand. "I'll go."

"Good," Jake replied nodding his head. "Anybody else go with him?"

"I'll go," Rachel said.

"You sure bout that?" Marco asked skeptically.

"Yes, I'm sure," Rachel said. "After kicking Bloody Mary's butt I feel as though I can take on anything. Sides I'm just really mad!"

"Oooookay then," Marco said raising his hands in retreat. "Knock yourself out."

"Alright," Jake said cutting in, "Rachel and Tobias will go check out the streets from air and one of us could try contacting Erek about this."

"And the last three?"

"Be on guard to see if any other characters were sent out to get us."

"Are you sure the phone is working Jake?" asked Marco.

"I don't know, why?" Jake replied.

"Well in most cases like this, the phone would already be dead by now."

Cassie walked over to her phone and picked up the receiver and shook her head looking at Marco. "No, there's the dial tone."

"You are KIDDING me!" Marco said throwing his hands up in the air and looking up.

(Um. Rachel and I are going now,) Tobias said to the group. Jake turned to see two birds of prey on the couch. He nodded and the two flew out of the broken doorway.

"Cassie, while you are there could you call Erek?" She nodded and started dialing. Jake turned to face three sets of eyes and from there looked at the living room (if that is what it can be called in the state it was in).

(Clean up? Prince Jake?) Ax asked. His "prince" nodded and walked in to pick up a fallen down lamp and without further ado, the two other boys went to help. Marco went to the kitchen to get the broom and dustpan and the three boys worked as much as they could to restore the living room. They could faintly hear Cassie talking on the telephone.

"Um, Erek? Hey it's me Cassie. You know the new guy at school. The guy that you thought might be kind of cool and nice. Well he turns out to be a real jerk and won't leave us alone…."

(I can't understand this!) Rachel said from the sky. The two birds were far from each other but both were watching the same scene of chaos out on the streets right outside of the Revival House. By the door was a sign for the "Shining".

(There's a riot by the police station,) Tobias said.

(I've noticed,) Rachel replied dryly. She observed some sane looking people walking quickly trying to get away from all the angry people. (Is there a large mob that just came into town or something?) Just then she heard more shouting coming from the revival house. From the entrance came a handful of people all looking angry and joining the present chaos. (What exactly is going on?)

(Whatever it is, Illusion is behind it,) Tobias said. (Shall we go back and tell Jake?)

"You know Cassie," Erek said on the other end of the phone. "That new kid has a way of making a bunch of people angry. Usually after showing them something they liked."

"Such as?"

"Well I don't know. Forget that. The other day he took this one really cute girl out to the movies. And well they seemed to be enjoying it but he later became so obnoxious at the theater. Bothering other people sitting near him and made his date very angry."

"I guess they aren't going out anymore," Cassie said as though it was not at all important.

"No. He never apologized. It's as though he doesn't care what other people think. Almost like he enjoys watching angry people. I heard that he is really a movie freak though."

"Weird guy."

"Friends with the wrong kind of people. I would advise you to stay away from him, but you say he keeps bothering you?"

"Yeah, like just recently he pulled a terribly mean prank on Rachel."

"Not that Rachel was phased at all," Erek said with a chuckle.

"I wouldn't exactly say that. He doesn't seem to really like me or any of my friends."

"I see. Well just be glad that he doesn't leave the theater much."

AN MAJOR DELAY. Kind of confusing. One or two more chapters to go.
