"And so that's the situation." Lugh finished. Esmeralda, Eleanor, Talia, him, and I were in the park, near my house were we often had our meeting. Lugh had just related what happened to us at school the day before.

"Noway! Again?" Esmeralda exclaimed. It seems she wasn't eager to become a warrior of light again.

"Oh I don't know." Taila said or should I say Talia's subconscious since she wasn't aware of the warriors of light consciously. "It might be fun to kick the creatures of darkness's butts again."

"They almost killed us remember! And this Dion guy called Damocles and the others weaklings. So they must be even stronger."

"We beat Damocles, Cassius and the others." Eleanor said trying to keep the peace between Esmeralda and Talia who were currently glaring at each other. "I'm sure will win this time too."

I wasn't as sure. I understood how Esmeralda felt in away. Every time we fought the side of dark there was a good chance we could die. I closed my eyes and shook my head. I couldn't think about that now. All we could do was fight to win.

"Do you know this Dion, Lugh?" I asked deciding to change the subject. Besides I was curious.

"I knew of him." He replied. "He is a pretty strong creature of darkness. I don't know if he is stronger then Damocles is though or if it's just boast. I do know we have to watch out for him though."

We nodded in agreement. We'd have to be careful in the future.

"Oh I almost forgot." Lugh continued after a moment. "I want to give these back to you."

He reached in to his pocket and pulled out the rings we used during our previous adventures to alert us when danger was near. I took my silently and placed it on my finger. The red jewel shone brightly in the afternoon sun.

"Okay very well. We'll meet next week here to discuss the problem more. If there is attack before that...Well I guess I'll see you guys then. Goodbye."

We left him sitting on his usual bench reading the newspaper.

"Well," Talia said. "I was writing an English essay, so I guess I'll have to get back to that. See you guys."

She disappeared. I shivered slightly. Even though I had gotten used to it over the past 7 months it was still hard to get use to.

Esmeralda walked ahead of Eleanor and I. She was going straight home while Eleanor and I were going to the Moon Love cafe, a local coffee shop we often hang out at.

"So your birthday is next Friday?" Eleanor asked me.

"Yeah. My mom's show is opening as well."

"Oh cool."

"Yeah, you can come. My Mom's letting me invite some friends to the opening."

"Oh sure I loved to."

We walked silently for a couple of minutes.

Then Eleanor turned her head towards me and said, "Um, Honey, don't tell the others, but I'm kinda of ticked that we have to fight the side of dark again. I was hoping that I get to work a few more hours a week at my part time job.

"Oh yeah. You work part time. Where too?" I asked.

"Oh I'm waitress at the Lila's Place."

"Lila's Place?" It was fairly nice family restaurant. "Cool. Do you like it?"

"Oh yes. Its keeps me out of the house."

Was it just me or did she seem sad when she said that? I was about to say something when I bummed into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry." A boy with black hair, black eyes and a round childlike face about a year younger then me said. "That was my fault."

I was about to say it was my fault for not paying attention, when another voice piped up.

"Don't apologize to her Henry. Its her fault for not paying attention." Said a younger girl, about twelve I would say, who looked a little like her brother, except for the fact her hair was longer and tied in pigtails by pink ribbons. Also her expression was down right hostel.

"Clara that was rube!" Henry said.

"Look kid stay out of it. We both should have been paying attention." I said. I know I was being rube as well, but I couldn't help it. Her little voice irked me, for some reason. Also I had the weird feeling that I had met her somewhere before.

"You're older then us. You should have been more careful." She said. "Though you don't look it. I'm only a little shorter then you."

I growled. What she said was true though. At 5"0 I was shortish person there except for her. Why do people have to poke at the things your sentive about?

"At least I'm taller then you!" I said. I know lame comeback, but I never said I was creative.

It seemed to insult her though. She sniffed her nose in the air and started to walk away. "Come on Henry. Let's go."

He smiled at us apolitically. "Sorry, about my sister." Then he followed her.

What a little brat. I hoped I'd never run into her again. Her brother seemed okay though.

"Fighting with children, Fox? Isn't a bit childish even for you?"

I turned around. Of course it would have to be Chris.

"She started it!" I said defensively, realizing as I said it I sounded childish.

He sighed. "You should have attacked in a mature manner and ignored her."

"She's only three years younger than us! She should have attacked in a mature manner as well."

"As her elder, it is your duty to teach how to be mature, by acting so yourself. I guess too much to ask from you though."

I seethed. How dare he talk that way to me! I was about to insult him as much as I could in one sentence.

However, he spoke first. "As much as I like to spent the day talking pleasantly with you ladies I have to go. Good day, Eleanor. Stay out of trouble, Fox."

"Good bye." Eleanor said.

"What do you mean, stay out of trouble!" I yelled.

He just grinned and waved, as he walked away.

I relieved he had called Eleanor by her name. He called everyone by their first name. Everyone except me that is.

Oh who cared. It was just Chris Blevins, after all.

"I'm glad Chris left." Eleanor said.

We were in the Moon Love cafe. We had just ordered.

"Why? Does he annoy you as well, Ellie?" I asked. I was surprised, Eleanor was rarely annoyed by anyone.

"Oh nothing like that." She said. "Its just that you two pay so much attention to each other that you seem to forget everyone around you."

I made a face. She made it sound like Chris and I were lovers.

"We do not! At least I know I don't and I'm sure that Idiot doesn't either."

"Oh really?" She didn't sound convinced.

"That kid really annoyed me earlier." I wanted to change the subject, to anything else besides what we had been talking about.

Eleanor sighed. "She was just a child, Honey."

Our orders arrived then. A chocolate sundae for me and coffee for Eleanor.

"I know." I replied as I scooped out a bit of ice cream. "Still it really ticked me off."

"I can understand that."

"Plus I have this weird feeling like I know her from somewhere."

"You too? I had the exact same feeling."

"Maybe we saw her before in the community or something."

"Maybe."

The next two days passed uneventfully. There were no more attacks from the side of dark.

"Maybe they decided to give up." Eleanor said hopefully, as we were walking home from school.

"Or they might be trying to lull us into a false sense of security while they plan their next move." I replied.

"You should hope for the best Honey, not the worst."

"You should hope for the best Eleanor, but except the worst. Its realistic."

"Alright." She stopped. "This is were my street turns. See you later Honey."

I waved goodbye. I walked up the street a bit further. Suddenly I saw Henry, from the day before. He looked slightly distressed.

"Hey, are you okay?" I called out.

He looked up. "Oh you're the girl from yesterday. I'm fine. It's just my sister ran off. My aunt asked us to stay together because of that weirdo who attacked the school."

"You want me to help you look for her?" I asked. I didn't want to offer, but he seemed so depressed.

A smile broke out on his face. "Would you? That would be great. Oh my name is Henry Busto, by the way."

"I'm Honey Fox."

"Fox? Any relation to Sara Fox?" He asked. I nodded. "She in a couple of my classes."

We went in opposite directions. I walked trough the park. When I pass a slide I saw a preteen girl sitting at the bottom of it.

"Hey." I said. She looked up. "I'm helping your brother find you. He's really worried you know."

She sighed. "I just wanted to be alone for awhile."

I nodded. As a person with four siblings I knew what it felt like to want privacy from time to time.

"I think I can understand that."

"I'm sorry I was rude the other day." She said. "I was just annoyed at my brother. He's so nice to everybody, even if they're jerks. He's thinks if he's a good boy Mom and Dad will come back."

"Mmm?"

"When I was two our Mom ran off somewhere. A year later, Dad dumped us on our Aunt, his sister, claiming he couldn't take care of us. We haven't seen either of them since."

She was silent for a second. My heart felt for her. Her story was so sad. She looked like Eleanor sometimes did.

"If I could wish for anything," She continued. "It would be for Henry to see them once more. No that's not right. I liked to see them again for just a second. Every time I see a star I wish that with all my heart."

"What noble words." We turned. A man with orange hair and eyes was standing there. "That wish energy will give our supply quite an increase indeed."

"Who are you?" Clara asked.

"Oh allow me to interduce myself. I am Loki, the warrior of darkness, one of the four Wolves." He said.

Damn. I had to transform and fight him. But I couldn't leave Clara here alone. What was I going to do?

"You won't need to remember it since I'm going to take your wish here and now. Just wait one minu-"

"Hold it right there!" Came three familer voices from the shadows. I breath a sigh of releave.

"I am the girl with a clean heart, I wash away evil with the flick of a finger. I am Cinder!" Eleanor was wearing a white ballgown like dress that skirt ended around her mid thigh and elbow length white gloves.

I ran behind a tree and said. "Riding Hood Wishing Transformation!"

"I'm the girl who dreams of happy endings. The threads I weave stop evil in its tracks. I am Beauty!" Talia was wearing a buranganty jumpsuit and gold hoop earrings.

"I am the elegant girl of winter. I freeze the negative feelings of the heart. I am Snow!" Esmeralda costume looked even more like a ballet outfit now, complete with a tutu.

I stepped out from behind the tree. "I am the girl cloaked in red, I wield fire to burn the stained hearts. I am Riding Hood!"

"And together we fight for Happily Ever Afters!"

"Oh I've heard of you. You're the ones who gave Damocles such headache, and wounded Dion's pride. I commend you."

"Enough talking!" Talia said. "Sleep Dreaming Needles!"

A hundred needles came out of her hand and headed straight towards Loki. He just yawned and stepped out of the way.

"Pity and we were having such a nice chat. Oh well." He put his hand up in the air. "Bolts of Darkness!"

Lighting started to come down to ground heading straight for us. We had to leap out of the way to avoid get hit.

"Broom Sweep Justice!" Eleanor said as broom came in to her hand. She swept it once and soapy water came out and bubble over to Loki. It had no effect.

"Snow of Understanding!" A million snowflakes came out of Esmeralda's hand and headed towards the bolts. They also had no effect.

"I can't believe it." Lugh said. He had appeared a few seconds earlier.

'What?" I asked.

"Who's that girl?" He said pointing to Clara.

"Oh that's Clara." Why did he want to know?

"Clara!" He called.

She looked up. "Me?" she said pointing to herself.

Who else would he be talking to?

He nodded. "Say, 'Gretal Wishing Transformation!' okay?"

She looked at him like he was strange, but said "Gretal Wishing Transformation!"

A pink light engulfed her. When it disappeared she was wearing a pink dress trimmed with lace that reach her knees and black maryjanes.

"What?" She said looking confused.

I felt the same way as she did.

"Now say 'Ginger Hope Drops!' and aimed directly at Loki." Lugh continued.

Clara shrugged. "Ginger Hope Drops!"

Sticky brown candies hit Loki in the stomach.

"My shirt!" He cried and the bolts of darkness stopped. "Its ruined!"

"Passionate Disc of Fire!" I called. "I hope you can get drying cleaning in the realm in between then."

I threw the disc with all my might. A second later he sailed back to his home.

Whew! Glad that was over.

"Excuse me," Clara said. "That was fun, but can you explain what's going on?"

Lugh sighed and told the latest addition to our group everything.
