This is really short. I decided to split up chapter five into two parts, so six is longer. Anyway, enjoy and PLEASE R&R!!
The next two days go very well. I work in repairing artifacts for a few hours, have lunch with Ambrosia, who is proving to be a very apt student after only four lessons, and then work a few more hours before leaving. The people I work with aren't overly friendly; but then again, there just isn't a whole of talking going on in the museum's basement since everyone is immersed in their work.
I go to Serena's school after work, guessing that she has detention for being late again because she stayed up late after the final performance of the play. I had decided not to tell her about Ann and Alan until the show was over, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to finish it, and there haven't been any attacks since anyway. Still, I think Serena and her friends need to know.
I look young enough to be a student, so no one questions my presence in the halls. I peek into the detention room through the door window and am stunned to see that Serena and Ann are both in detention, writing like their lives depend on it. I knew I should have told Serena to watch out for Ann and Alan before. Now it might be too late. I try the door and am not terribly surprised to find it locked. Looking through the window again, I see Ann get up, change to her alien form, and start to glow as she reaches out a hand toward an unsuspecting Serena. I hit the door in an attempt to get Serena's attention. It doesn't work.
Fear fills me as I run back down the hall and out the school. As I reach the wall of the class's outer window, I see it is going to be another interesting day. A cardian stands on the pavement and the scouts are already here after it. Ann and Alan, as aliens, appear. The fight begins. I watch for Serena, knowing she was just in danger and that she is the only one who can kill the monster. I cloak myself in shadowed energy and float to the class's window, careful to stay in the shadows. The window is open and I spot Serena slumped on her desk, energy drained no doubt. The fight doesn't sound like it's going very well without her. No matter what Rei says Serena is the greatest fighter of them all when push comes to shove. I lend her some of my energy and step back to be unnoticed. The sounds from outside draw Serena to the window and the fight is soon over. Unfortunately, Ann and Alan got away, but it is obvious to me that they are losing strength fast. They weren't even in control of this latest aberration.
Serena is tired after having her energy drained and goes home to sleep immediately. I hope I will be able to talk to her before something else happens. Maybe I should try Darien…nah. Of course, after giving out my own energy, I'm also tired, so I go home. There's always tomorrow, right?
