Another Reminder: The characters of TT are not mine, though Phoenix, Black Blood, Hanukkah, Maddy, & Slycat are my creations...well, remember, R&R, don't be hard. I mean NO FLAMES! Thanx.

Chapter Three:

That morning, Phoenix woke up to a cry of anger-coming from her sister!

"That does it!" She muttered.

"What happened, sis?"

"She took the Dark Orb! You hand-made that for me, didn't you!" Definitely not a question. "That holds powers she can't control!"

'Phase Uno' Phoenix thought.

Raven ran into the kitchen. Her tea-kettle had been crashed into a million pieces. The herbal tea cozies were sprawled across the counter, all cut in half. Then, a buzzer went off in the distance and shredded black cloth rained from a box on the ceiling. Raven caught a piece and felt it.

"She went in my room and shredded my robes! That vampress has no idea what she just got herself into!" Black energy flowed around Raven. Raven was about to explode. Phoenix knew that if Raven didn't cool down, she'd be playing right into Black Blood's hands!

"Raven, cool it down! You know she probably did it just to make you angry." Phoenix tried her hardest. But Black Blood had pushed Raven over so far, she was beyond reason.

Meanwhile, Black Blood was watching from a shadow. "Hmm, Hmm, Hmm. Looks like little Phina has found out about me. I also see that what Raven loves most deep, deep, deep inside- Phoenix! Well, to complete my little 'prank', tomorrow morning, Raven wont find Phina next to her like every morning... Hmm, Hmm, Hmmm." She began to plot out Phoenix's 'disappearance'.

That night, Phoenix was practicing her fire. She touched the wick to a small candle, whispering, "Azarath, Metrion, Zin-thos." The candle had a small blaze of Phoenix's Peace Fire. Maybe a little of this will calm Raven's Dreams.

She walked out into their room. She set the candle on a side-table by Raven's head. The smoke began to slowly wrap itself around Raven. She seemed to calm down a little more.

A black vortex appeared in front of Phoenix. "Yeek! Maddy, don't do that!"

Madison's evilly beautiful figure appeared. " I forgot one thing, dollie. On the last night, Phase Two, the victim gets a horrifying dream that haunts their minds. The SV will say they'll help the victim and then their soulless. Ta ta, now, dollie!"

'Great!' thought Phoenix. 'Another Problem is just what I need.'

She walked down the hall to make herbal tea.

A shadow passed by her feet and she leapt back, trembling. "R-Raven? Oohh..."

Black Blood appeared right in front of her and she tried to shriek out for help, but all that came out was a hoarse whisper, a bit scratchy. She sounded choked as she called out her sister's name. "Raven! Help!"

Black Blood laughed quietly and opened up a vile. "Don't worry. You'll only be asleep until Day Two, Phase One of my little plot (against ur sister) is over. Don't you worry." The scent from the vile reached Phoenix and she began to weaken, becoming unconscious. Black Blood's words were the last thing she heard: "Don't worry, Fire Bird. remember that it is only temporary!" Phoenix's eyes closed and she drifted off, no matter how hard she tried to stay conscious.

Raven woke up feeling like something was wrong. She looked over to Phoenix's side of the bed. It was empty. 'She's probably downstairs, making tea.' thought Raven.

Raven went downstairs. No Phina.

She checked the roof. No Phina.

She checked the whole tower, but Phoenix was nowhere.

Tears threatened at Raven's eyes. She held them back, knowing what danger would come if she cried. She knew Phoenix would send a mental message to her if she went somewhere.

Raven heard Black Blood chuckling to herself. "Oh, what happened? Did the Vampire Wannabe wose her wittle sister?"

Beast Boy happened to hear this and he panicked. "Phina-poo is missing! WAKE UP! She's Missing! Oh Woe IS ME! Dudes, we gotta find my precious Phina-Poo! Help! Call the-"

"Okay! We get it, my sister's gone and, though I don't know where, I do know how. And so does Black Blood!" Raven pointed to Black Blood.

"Who, me?" False innocence creeped in every corner of her face. "How is it so? I'm only a harmless vampress whose only wish is to get back to 1862! Why would I kidnap her?" The innocence act wasn't working.

"As her older cousin, I give you permission to chain her up and interrogate her until Phina is found." Hanukkah spoke up.

"You little traitor! Why I- I- I don't have an idea on how you'll pay, Beauty!"

Hanukkah's face was flushed. "We had a promise that you wouldn't call me that any more!"

"You Betray me, and I betray you." She smirked, despite the pain of tight bonds.

{inside Phina's mind, since she is unconscious. though she could still c what's going on}

What is this place? Where's my sister? I'm so lost! Black Blood- she must be stopped! When Phase Dos happens, I will be able to move. Not to mention speak. What time is it? (an image of a digital clock comes in mind. Oh and by the way, hours past since morning. So phoenix will be freed soon: ) )

I see my clock. 11:58! I'll be free soon enough. Oh, I am so lost...

{out of mind, back to story}

Black Blood strained and soon she was free. Time to let her prisoner awake in bed, next to her cub and sister. 12:00. Phase Two has begun!

Raven was surprised to wake up. She didn't even remember falling asleep. She sighed and looked over at 'the empty side' to find it wasn't empty. Phoenix was back!

"Phoenix! You're okay!" Phoenix's eyes slowly opened.

"It was dark...cold...lonely..." she whispered. "Did my candle soothe? or was it a failure?"

"It was fine, until I saw you were gone."

after a few hours, Phoenix turned to Raven, "Raven, be careful! Black Blood is a S-" she was cut off by a jolly cry.

"Raven! I decided to apologize and your tea is made already. Oh, and I bought you some new robes!" Phoenix was too late to stop Phase Two!
