Wednesday, December 9th,12:03AM, Amara and Kat's house.
Serena strolled through the house, reaching a large window. She sighed.
"This isn't right. I need to be me again. Serena, not Amara." She sighed again, hitting the ground.
"Okay, she is starting to act like me too much." I had followed Serena.
"Hmm?" Serena glanced behind her.
"Did you really want to get in the way of the attack?"
"No."
"Then..."
"Something made me."
"Like what?"
"Like voices."
"Like your angel and devil?"
"No, I can't explain it."
8:14AM, Arcade.
Serena sighed; it seemed to be the only thing she could do. I wasn't being much help, I kept my eyes on the entrance. Andrew, the guy who worked there, finally did something.
"Um, Serena, are you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah. I hope they hurry. Amara doesn't like to wait a long time."
"What? She's here? I thought she didn't hang around you or your friends." He ducked down and whispered. "Isn't she the one that broke the last racing game I had here?"
"I think it was her. I don't really remember it. Can you tell me how?"
"She was too fast for the game to catch up, then when she stepped on the brake it started to smoke."
"Really?"
"You would never forget something like that Serena. I know you."
"Well, there's more important things than that cheap racing game!"
"W..."
"And why didn't you kick Amara out of the arcade after that happened!?"
"The thing is she could break my neck in a second and I'm scared of her cousin."
"What about her sister?"
"I don't really see her around here much."
"What? She comes here almost all the time with Amara!"
"You mean the girl with the hat, that laughs a lot?"
"I guess you could say that. You didn't know?"
"Well, she does look like her''
"Serena!" Lita sprinted into the arcade.
"Wow. You're later than late."
"Sorry."
"Where are the others?"
"Outside."
"Why are they out there?"
"Um, Kat and Yaten got into a fight."
"Kat's up and walking?"
"If she's kicking and punching people, what do you think?"
"Who started it?"
"Yaten was talking about Amara and his little speech turned to Kat."
"And?"
"That's when the fight started."
"Did anyone try to break it up?"
"Seiya and Taiki are trying."
"Amara, Lita, Serena! Watch out!" Raye called from outside.
The monster, again, came back for another fight. I noticed Serena jumping up, out of the seat, getting ready to fight.
"You do know you could have taken over the world by now." I informed it, a little annoyed.
"Serena, stop giving the enemy advice!" Raye yelled.
"Sorry!"
"Enough chatting, I have things to do." It got tired of listening to us.
"What? A make-over?" I replied.
"That's it! This has gone on to far!"
And, again, Serena and I were sent flying across the room, slamming into the newer racing game.
1:56PM, The Three Lights House.
There comes one time in every man's life that one thing is doing something at the wrong time. For me it was dreaming, and believe me, this had nothing to do with our new enemy problems. I woke up and of course, Seiya was there. He smiled at me, so I smiled back. It seemed too real. Then, I heard something. I couldn't tell if he said something or someone else. I tried to hear the noise, no need, it got louder, a few voices calling me. After a while, I figured out I was asleep, and I decided to wake up.
"Mmm." I twitched a little.
"Amara?" Kat stopped listening to one of her many CDs.
"Hmm?"
"Is it really you?"
"What?"
"Nice try, Serena."
"It's me."
"Prove it."
"Where do I start?"
"Tell me about me."
"Okay. Your birthday is December fifteenth, your favorite color is light green, you love to play sports and video games, your favorite animals are cats and wolves, and you eat a lot of candy."
"Yeah. How did I get my nickname?"
"Out of all your animals most of them were cats, your favorite animal is a cat, you're as hyper and sneaky as a cat, and when some people think of you they think of cats."
"Yes."
"Now do you believe me?"
"I believed you when you told me it was really you."
"I don't..."
"No one does."
"Why am I here?"
"Seiya insisted."
"Where's Serena?"
"In another room."
"Is everyone here?"
"I think so. Why?"
"Just asking."
"You look confused more than usual."
"What happened earlier?"
"It ran away, again."
"Why?"
"Not sure."
"Amara!" Rini ran in and hugged me.
"Hey, Shorty." I smiled at her.
"What happened?"
"Nothing much."
"Come on, tell me please?"
"Okay. Later."
"Rini's gotten taller." Amy watched Michelle pace around the room. "What's wrong?"
"She's too happy."
"Didn't you want Amara to be happy?" Kat argued.
"Not this happy."
"Maybe she was Serena too long."
"I heard that!" Serena stormed into the room.
The others laughed when Serena came in.
"What are you talking about?" Seiya and Darien stared at Kat.
"I knew they didn't tell you." I leaned on the wall.
"What? How'd you get down here so fast?" Seiya glanced at everyone. "Did I miss something?"
"For about two days, Serena and I weren't acting like ourselves."
"Meaning?" Darien crossed his arms.
"We switched bodies." Serena confessed.
"You mean I was never talking to Serena?" Darien left his seat and headed for the front door.
"Wait!" I stopped him. "It wasn't exactly my wish."
"You could've told me it was you."
"Hey!" Seiya took my side. "If she did tell you, you would've thought she was insane!"
"I didn't ask for your..."
"And Amara didn't ask for yours."
"Seiya, are you okay?" Raye broke the silence.
"He's fine, just helping his..." Yaten paused then whispered. "...girlfriend."
"What did you say?" Trista sitting the closest to Yaten, tried not to believe him.
"Wow, you haven't told anyone." Yaten ignored the glare on my face. "What about you Seiya?"
"What are you talking about?" Seiya looked so clueless, I had to smile.
"Right there." Yaten rushed to us. "You never smile around Seiya, or to him."
"Are you insane?" Kat finally figured out what Yaten was saying.
"No. Think. Seiya catch Amara so she wouldn't fall. Seiya held her back, so she wouldn't kill Serena, then asking if she was okay. And the other day she wasn't at her house, she was here asleep on Seiya arm. Plus, Seiya hasn't even gotten punched once. Can't you picture it?"
"I don't want to!" Kat turned away.
"No way!" Mina and Lita jumped up and down like some girls do.
"I don't know them." I sighed, as the two got closer to us. "And then Serena says."
"Since when?" Serena placed her arms on her hips. "That's why Seiya smiled at me."
"I think it was ever since we were here." Taiki answered her question.
"What?" Everyone stared at Taiki.
I felt someone grab my arm and pull me out of the house.
"Shh." Seiya closed the door quietly. "They don't know we left."
"And they won't find you!" It came back.
"What do you want?" I backed up again.
"I want to make your lives miserable!" It threw marbles on the ground.
"What kind of attack is that?"
"This kind!"
The marbles rolled under my feet. "What the.."
"Don't move!"
"I'm not that stupid."
The marbles started to slide away. I didn't listen and took a step forward and slipped knocking my head on the cement.
"Amara!" Seiya tried to help me, but he fell too.
3:00PM, ?.
I noticed I wasn't outside anymore, even though my eyes weren't open. I knew someone was leaning over me, so I opened my eyes. A man who looked a little older than me stood there.
"Where am I? Why am I here? Who are you and what do you want from me!?" I got up in alarm.
"I didn't mean to scare you."
"That didn't answer any of my questions."
"I can't tell you any of that information." His hand came close to my face.
"Get away from me!" I tried to slap him.
He griped his hand on my wrist before I could slap him. "I didn't want to hurt you, but I changed my mind!"
His grip got tightened. "Stop!"
"You should of thought about that before you tried to slap me!"
"Why are doing this?"
"To teach you to respect your elders!"
"What?"
"I've been watching you since you were a child, and I never seen you be kind to any of your elders, including your parents!" He let go.
"Ow!"
"That's why."
"I never did anything to you!"
"Not to me, but some people I know!"
"Who?"
"Everyone."
"What?"
"Now you will pay!" Before I could do anything, it came into the room. "Finish her!"
"Not if I can help it!" A light shined and the thing blew up.
"Who's there!?" The man blocked me from leaving.
"Your worst nightmare." Helios came out of nowhere.
"What do you want!?"
"To stop you!"
"I haven't done anything... Yet."
"Helios?" I was shocked to see him again.
"You stay out of this!" The man knocked me on the ground.
"Leave her alone!" Helios demanded.
"And what are you going to do about it? Beat me with happy thoughts?"
"I have something much worse in mind."
"And what would that be?"
"A little thing called a dream."
"I'm not asleep."
"You will be." Helios snapped his fingers and knocked him out. "Are you okay?"
"I will be after I get out of here."
"Amara!" Seiya shouted from another room.
"Isn't it dead?" I sprinted out into the hallway. "He'll be dead before I find the right door."
"No he won't." Helios stood beside me. "Where did it sound like it was coming from?"
"There!" I come across an opened door.
"What are you waiting for?"
"What?"
"Aren't you going to save him?"
"Me?"
"He doesn't know me, but he knows you very well."
"But how do I..."
"You don't have to do anything."
"Wha.."
"Please believe me."
"Okay."
I took his advice and entered the room. Another ugly thing was there. It stopped when I came in. Seiya ran away from it, dodging it's attacks. The last attack hit him, causing him to fall at my feet.
"Seiya?" I kneeled down beside Seiya. "Are you alright?"
"..."
"No." I faced the thing. "Don't you have a heart!? He's probably dead and it's your fault!"
A second later it blew up like the other did.
"It's no use talking to him." I felt a tear run down my face. " Could... Could I really be in..."
"Amara?" Seiya whispered.
"What?" I finally noticed Seiya.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You look like something bad happened."
"Everything's fine now."
"We have to leave." Helios didn't look happy.
"Who's he?" Seiya questioned me.
"I will tell you later, but we must leave now."
"But how?"
Helios answered my question without words. There was a flash of light, then I passed out.
4:00PM, Outside The Three Lights House.
"Maybe they're at the park." Kat argued with Michelle while they walked on the sidewalk. "It's not like..."
"It's not like what?" Michelle saw what Kat was looking at. "Are they?"
"No. They're just unconscious," Kat then whispered. "I hope they don't wake."
"What?"
"Nothing. Let's get them inside."
5:03PM, The Three Lights House.
I opened my eyes, seeing I was back in Seiya room. Seiya was laying beside me.
"Was it a dream, or is this a dream?" I pinched myself. "Ow. At least I know this isn't a dream."
"Amara?" Seiya turned to faced me.
"Hmm?"
"Who was that guy?"
"A friend."
"I've never met him."
"We knew him before you three came."
"He helped you?"
"He helped everyone, mostly Rini."
"When did he leave?"
"After we defeated the enemy."
"Do you have a problem with me living!?" I heard Kat in the other room.
"No, I have a problem with you always taking everyone side!" Michelle had gotten in another argument with Kat.
"Well, that's too bad!"
"That's it!" Michelle tried to jump at Kat, but I held her back. "What?"
"You're happy to see me." I let Michelle go.
"What happened?" Kat stared at me.
"No much." I made a fist with one hand. "Ow."
Everyone jumped back.
"What was that?" Kat forced me onto a couch.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me see your hand."
"What?"
"Let me see your hand."
"Okay." I lifted my hand so Kat could see it.
"Don't move your hand" Kat poked me in the middle of my hand.
"Ow."
"I knew it, something's wrong." Kat grabbed my arm, speaking under her breath. "He's gonna pay."
"Do you know how much that hurts?"
"This will only take a second." She looked at the front and back of my hand. "That must hurt."
"What?"
"How did you break your wrist?"
"It's really broken?"
"I'm not lying."
"..."
"How did..."
"Him."
"Who!?"
"I'm not sure who he was."
"Oh, when was this?"
"Earlier."
"W..."
"He broke out of it." Helios appeared behind Kat.
"Who the heck are you!?" Kat almost fainted. "Another one!"
"That's not important right now."
"If I call the police it will be!"
"Kat. He's a friend." I spoke up.
"Helios?" The others asked, confused.
"Yes, it's me. Something bad's going to happen. Can you stop him?"
"I could of stopped him, but he broke my wrist."
"How did you know her wrist was broken Kat?" Seiya stood in the middle of the room.
"T..."
"Why do I has the feeling you're hiding something from us?" Seiya crossed him arms.
"That's a good question." Trista stood the same way as Seiya. "What about you Michelle?"
"I know something no one knows." Michelle smiled.
"What?"
"Do you now what Kat is?"
"A sailor scout."
"Of what?"
"Everything we didn't cover."
"Not even close."
"Then what?"
"The Earth."
"Seven Inners?"
"Six."
"What about..."
"Outer."
"How do you know this?"
"All the clues add up."
"What clues?"
"About Kat."
"What clues about Kat?"
"She loves cats, cats are part of the Earth, and that means Kat is the protector of Earth."
"You mean that Kat has to put up with Serena?"
"I guess."
"No way!" Kat replied.
"You didn't answer the question." Michelle was still smiling.
"Okay. Listen up cause I'm only saying this once. I have a special trick I can do."
"Is it that special?"
"I don't know how to explain it."
"What do you know?"
"I know everything about everyone."
"What?" Trista still confused, asked.
"This doesn't make sense. First, you being a moonie, then second, you know everything about everyone." I ignored the glares thrown at me.
"Moonie? What are you talking about Amara?"
"Nothing."
"It sounded like it was more than something."
"It's just a word."
"Did Kat make that one up to?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"That's what I said."
"Oh, she dissed you!" Kat jumped up with joy.
"Are you done yet?" Raye shook her head.
"And what if I'm not?"
"Then I'll make you!"
"I'd to see that happen."
"When I get over there it will happen."
"I'm waiting?"
"What?"
"Sometime this year."
"You really want to slapped, don't you?"
"I said I'm waiting."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"Before I came, you five couldn't hurt a fly."
"Is that what you think?"
"That's what I know."
"You thought wrong."
"It has to be right if I heard it from someone."
"Who?"
"Michelle."
"T..."
"She did say it."
"Yeah, right."
"I have witnesses."
"I heard it." I agreed with Kat.
"Can't any of you people not fight for a day?" Yaten got our attention. "We do have more important things to do."
5:59PM, The Park.
"This is where you found out he liked you?" Kat leaned on a tree. "Not the most romantic place is it?"
"I probably have different opinions on some places." I spoke sarcastically.
"It is a pretty good place, whenever he says something wrong you could hit him with a branch."
"Isn't that against nature?"
"Maybe."
"Why are you asking me so many questions?"
"You know, Seiya isn't that bad."
"You like him?"
"I did before I saw how great a couple you two are."
"Really?"
"Y-Y-Yeah."
"What about Helios?"
"What about him?"
"Is he good enough to be on your friend list?"
"I don't know yet."
"He's not that bad, once you get to know him."
"What's that mean?"
"He could be your friend."
"I guess he could."
"I didn't know you liked him."
"I didn't..."
"Yes, you did."
"How do you do that?"
"It's easy."
"For you."
"Not all the time."
"True."
"What about the other two?"
"Don't they have someone?"
"They haven't told them."
"I don't like them."
"You're really picky."
"Look who I get it from."
"You don't have to do everything I do."
"I don't."
"Only somethings,"
"But not a lot."
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Finish my sentences."
"I have no idea."
"Nobody does."
"Exactly."
"Shouldn't we head back?"
"In a minute."
"Does that mean a hour?"
"No."
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
6:11PM, The Three Lights House.
Seiya sat on his bed, slapping himself.
"I can't fall asleep. How can even think of sleeping? There's a maniac after Amara and... Was she? It couldn't be, could it? Does she really..." He closed his eyes.
"I really what?" I was laying on the bed.
"How did you..."
"I'm really fast."
"Oh, yeah."
"I thought you knew that."
"Not that fast."
"The more I run, the faster I get."
"I didn't know that."
"That means you're really fast."
"What?"
"You always running from me."
"You've never left without leaving a mark a on me."
"I'm too fast for you."
"You mean everyone."
"I guess."
"Are you going to leave anytime soon."
"Too comfortable."
"That means you're not going to leave, unless I drag you out of my room?"
"If you can."
"Do you think I'm that weak?"
"You don't look that strong to me."
"I don't?"
"No."
"Where have you been?"
"More places than you."
"O..."
"Unlike him I can my sentences because I'm not that tired."
"You will be." A familiar voice responded from the doorway.
"It's you." I pulled myself up.
"You didn't think I wasn't coming back, did you?"
"How did you get in here?"
"You're not even close to being smarter than me."
"That's what you think."
"Wrong again."
"Again?"
"You fell for my act."
"What act?"
"Did you look back in the room when you out?"
"No."
"You were too worried about leaving."
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you missing anything?"
"Not that I know of."
"Better remember what you're carrying, so you don't leave it behind."
"Y.."
"Now you remember."
"You have it?"
"I'm not giving it to you."
"You're suppose to return missing items to the rightful owner."
"Is that true?"
"Yes."
"I'm not returning it."
"Then I'll have to take it back."
"With one hand?"
"I could do it with no hands, old goat."
"What did you call me?"
"Nothing, old man."
"Why don't say that to my face?"
"I'd pass out before I get away from the bed."
"You think so?"
"I don't think so, I know you need a tic tac."
"What?"
"Take the whole pack, no take the whole gift pack."
"You won't think that's funny later."
"Whatever you say."
"You do know I have those powerful creatures."
"Those things are weak."
"How would you know?"
"It only takes a second to kill them."
"The ones you fought were fakes."
"What?"
"They weren't even a little real."
"How?"
"You aren't smiling anymore, are you?"
"You can't hurt me."
"Why not?"
"The others..."
"You two are the only ones here."
"No."
"You lose."
"No!" I rushed towards him.
"That wasn't a good idea." A metal pipe appeared in his hand. He swung it and hit me. "How does it feel?"
"Hey! What are you doing!?" Seiya held a baseball bat in one hand. "You can't just come in here and beat up my friends!"
"What are you going to do about it?"
"To keep it, you have to give it away." I spoke softly.
"What?" The two glanced at me.
"To keep your dignity, you have donate to the community."
"I don't believe in that!"
"Well, you should!"
"Why?"
"Because people don't like someone who doesn't help."
"I proved that was wrong."
"Talking to yourself doesn't count."
"What?"
"You know what I said."
"Would you like to say that to my face?"
"I would get knocked back down, remember?"
"Did you ever learn manners?"
"Better than the ones you learned."
"I'm not going to listen to this anymore!"
"You could've finished me off earlier."
"I didn't have a reason before."
"Do you have to have a reason to do everything?"
"You're lucky."
"Why?"
"I'm giving you one more day to live."
"I don't have a," I began to feel tired. "Problem with it..."
7:00PM, The Three Lights House.
Taiki unlocked the front door and entered the house. He searched the house until he was in front of Seiya's room.
"He's probably asleep. I won't wake him."
"Taiki!" Seiya screamed from inside the room. "Go get the others, and do it quickly!"
"What!?"
"He came!"
"He did?"
"Yes!"
"Why are you screaming? Want to wake Seiya?" Yaten informed Taiki.
"Seiya's up and that guy he was talking about came." Taiki updated Yaten information.
"Then let's go get the others."
7:11PM, Serena's house.
All of the Inners relaxed, not speaking or thinking. Kat sat upside-down watching Serena eat.
"I can't believe I have to take orders from this clumsy and insane person!" Kat threw her hands to the ground.
"It isn't the worst thing." Raye disagreed with Kat.
"It is to me!"
"You should get out more then!"
"I'm not the one that goes to Meatball-head's aid whenever she faints, gets pushed, or knocked down!"
"At least I care for someone!"
"I do care for someone, that's not her!"
"You don't act like it!"
"Well look at you! If beating up people is caring for them, you make the perfect friend!"
"I wouldn't be talking!"
"Well, I'am!"
"Well, you shouldn't be!"
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"Want a bet!?"
"Yeah, I do!"
"Guys, this isn't helping!" Serena blocked the two from each other. "Now listen to me. I won't take no for an answer. You two are going to stop f...."
"Serena, Kat!" Yaten ran in the room.
"What?" The two faced him.
"That guy came and beat Amara up."
"What!?"
"Come on!"
Kat left before the others could get up. She slowed down outside of the Lights house almost slipping on the ice. She tried to catch her breath and go inside, but she continued to run. Seiya opened the door, looking around, then closing it. He slowly headed back to his room, not seeing Serena and her friends call to him through the window. After a while of silence, he opened the door to his room, he leaned over the unconscious figure, which is known as me.
"Seiya?" Serena had entered the house with the other six. "I just saw him."
"Serena I think we shouldn't be here right now." Lita sat down at the bottom of the stairs. "I mean, what if Seiya finds out we're just coming in his house, without even asking. Isn't it..."
"A crime." Seiya finished her sentence. "It's nice that you could get here so soon."
"Well, it's serious when one of us gets hurt." Serena, clueless, glanced around the room. "Is Kat upstairs, Seiya?"
"No. She didn't even come by here."
"What?"
"I didn't see her."
"But, Amara's..."
"She's not here."
"Amara's going to..."
"I know."
"I know what we can do. One of us can go get Kat."
"I'll go get Kat."
"But, Seiya, what about Amara?"
"I have to do it."
"Why not me?"
"I owe Amara."
"What happens when Amara wakes up."
"Just tell her." Seiya left before they could argue.
7:43PM, The Park.
Seiya searched the area, until he saw someone on a bench. He got closer to see who it was. Kat was asleep, laying on the bench. Seiya kneeled down beside her, paying no attention to Kat's left hand. Just then, the lights in the park turned off. Seiya tried to get up, but he was pulled back down.
"What the..." Seiya found his face less than an inch away from Kat's.
"You know something," Kat pulled him closer. "I never trusted or liked you."
"What about all of the things you said about me, about you saying I was cute when you first saw me."
"I lied."
After a little bit silence, Kat whispered in Seiya ear.
"In case you're wondering, if people can't see or hear you they can't help you."
"No. P..."
Kat cut-off Seiya by kissing him. Seiya managed to get her off, so he could yell at her.
"What are doing!?"
"Telling you to keep away from Amara!"
"Why!? Because she's happy!?"
"She was just fine without you to be someone else to worry about!"
"She could of just told me to stay away from her, but she didn't!"
"Well she will have to when I tell her what kind of person you are!"
"What!?''
"See ya never." Kat jumped up and sprinted towards the house.
"Wait!" He went after Kat.
8:00PM, The Three Lights House.
Serena paced back and forth in Seiya room, with Rini following her. I finally woke up, sighing or moaning, getting the two's attention.
"Amara, are you okay?" Rini came to my side first. "What happened? Who did this to you? Seiya went to go get Kat."
"W..."
"Kat calm down. Tell us what happened." I heard Michelle's voice coming from downstairs.
"Is something wrong?" Serena and Rini helped me down the stairs.
"Seiya." Kat answered in quiet voice.
"What happened to him?"
"Happened to me, is the thing you should be worrying about."
"What?"
"When I was at the park, Seiya came. He said he was here to get me. I asked him why the others couldn't, but he didn't reply, all he did was stare at me with this hateful look. I started to walk away, hoping he stopped staring at me. Before I could leave, he grabbed my arm saying he was going to get rid of me once and for all."
"I don't believe you."
"Then believe this." Kat lifted her right arm showing everyone a scar from her wrist to above her elbow. "Last time everyone saw me, I didn't have this."
"Oh, my..."
"Amara!" Seiya busted into the room. "Are you alright?"
"I am now." I replied in a hateful tone.
"What do you mean?"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"I heard what happened."
"Then you know who's guilty."
"I do."
"You know what Kat did to me?"
"I know what you did to Kat."
"What are you..."
"Who do you believe?" Kat stood behind me. "If you don't believe him, we can leave right now."
"Amara..." Seiya started.
"Let's go." I followed Kat out.
Serena strolled through the house, reaching a large window. She sighed.
"This isn't right. I need to be me again. Serena, not Amara." She sighed again, hitting the ground.
"Okay, she is starting to act like me too much." I had followed Serena.
"Hmm?" Serena glanced behind her.
"Did you really want to get in the way of the attack?"
"No."
"Then..."
"Something made me."
"Like what?"
"Like voices."
"Like your angel and devil?"
"No, I can't explain it."
8:14AM, Arcade.
Serena sighed; it seemed to be the only thing she could do. I wasn't being much help, I kept my eyes on the entrance. Andrew, the guy who worked there, finally did something.
"Um, Serena, are you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah. I hope they hurry. Amara doesn't like to wait a long time."
"What? She's here? I thought she didn't hang around you or your friends." He ducked down and whispered. "Isn't she the one that broke the last racing game I had here?"
"I think it was her. I don't really remember it. Can you tell me how?"
"She was too fast for the game to catch up, then when she stepped on the brake it started to smoke."
"Really?"
"You would never forget something like that Serena. I know you."
"Well, there's more important things than that cheap racing game!"
"W..."
"And why didn't you kick Amara out of the arcade after that happened!?"
"The thing is she could break my neck in a second and I'm scared of her cousin."
"What about her sister?"
"I don't really see her around here much."
"What? She comes here almost all the time with Amara!"
"You mean the girl with the hat, that laughs a lot?"
"I guess you could say that. You didn't know?"
"Well, she does look like her''
"Serena!" Lita sprinted into the arcade.
"Wow. You're later than late."
"Sorry."
"Where are the others?"
"Outside."
"Why are they out there?"
"Um, Kat and Yaten got into a fight."
"Kat's up and walking?"
"If she's kicking and punching people, what do you think?"
"Who started it?"
"Yaten was talking about Amara and his little speech turned to Kat."
"And?"
"That's when the fight started."
"Did anyone try to break it up?"
"Seiya and Taiki are trying."
"Amara, Lita, Serena! Watch out!" Raye called from outside.
The monster, again, came back for another fight. I noticed Serena jumping up, out of the seat, getting ready to fight.
"You do know you could have taken over the world by now." I informed it, a little annoyed.
"Serena, stop giving the enemy advice!" Raye yelled.
"Sorry!"
"Enough chatting, I have things to do." It got tired of listening to us.
"What? A make-over?" I replied.
"That's it! This has gone on to far!"
And, again, Serena and I were sent flying across the room, slamming into the newer racing game.
1:56PM, The Three Lights House.
There comes one time in every man's life that one thing is doing something at the wrong time. For me it was dreaming, and believe me, this had nothing to do with our new enemy problems. I woke up and of course, Seiya was there. He smiled at me, so I smiled back. It seemed too real. Then, I heard something. I couldn't tell if he said something or someone else. I tried to hear the noise, no need, it got louder, a few voices calling me. After a while, I figured out I was asleep, and I decided to wake up.
"Mmm." I twitched a little.
"Amara?" Kat stopped listening to one of her many CDs.
"Hmm?"
"Is it really you?"
"What?"
"Nice try, Serena."
"It's me."
"Prove it."
"Where do I start?"
"Tell me about me."
"Okay. Your birthday is December fifteenth, your favorite color is light green, you love to play sports and video games, your favorite animals are cats and wolves, and you eat a lot of candy."
"Yeah. How did I get my nickname?"
"Out of all your animals most of them were cats, your favorite animal is a cat, you're as hyper and sneaky as a cat, and when some people think of you they think of cats."
"Yes."
"Now do you believe me?"
"I believed you when you told me it was really you."
"I don't..."
"No one does."
"Why am I here?"
"Seiya insisted."
"Where's Serena?"
"In another room."
"Is everyone here?"
"I think so. Why?"
"Just asking."
"You look confused more than usual."
"What happened earlier?"
"It ran away, again."
"Why?"
"Not sure."
"Amara!" Rini ran in and hugged me.
"Hey, Shorty." I smiled at her.
"What happened?"
"Nothing much."
"Come on, tell me please?"
"Okay. Later."
"Rini's gotten taller." Amy watched Michelle pace around the room. "What's wrong?"
"She's too happy."
"Didn't you want Amara to be happy?" Kat argued.
"Not this happy."
"Maybe she was Serena too long."
"I heard that!" Serena stormed into the room.
The others laughed when Serena came in.
"What are you talking about?" Seiya and Darien stared at Kat.
"I knew they didn't tell you." I leaned on the wall.
"What? How'd you get down here so fast?" Seiya glanced at everyone. "Did I miss something?"
"For about two days, Serena and I weren't acting like ourselves."
"Meaning?" Darien crossed his arms.
"We switched bodies." Serena confessed.
"You mean I was never talking to Serena?" Darien left his seat and headed for the front door.
"Wait!" I stopped him. "It wasn't exactly my wish."
"You could've told me it was you."
"Hey!" Seiya took my side. "If she did tell you, you would've thought she was insane!"
"I didn't ask for your..."
"And Amara didn't ask for yours."
"Seiya, are you okay?" Raye broke the silence.
"He's fine, just helping his..." Yaten paused then whispered. "...girlfriend."
"What did you say?" Trista sitting the closest to Yaten, tried not to believe him.
"Wow, you haven't told anyone." Yaten ignored the glare on my face. "What about you Seiya?"
"What are you talking about?" Seiya looked so clueless, I had to smile.
"Right there." Yaten rushed to us. "You never smile around Seiya, or to him."
"Are you insane?" Kat finally figured out what Yaten was saying.
"No. Think. Seiya catch Amara so she wouldn't fall. Seiya held her back, so she wouldn't kill Serena, then asking if she was okay. And the other day she wasn't at her house, she was here asleep on Seiya arm. Plus, Seiya hasn't even gotten punched once. Can't you picture it?"
"I don't want to!" Kat turned away.
"No way!" Mina and Lita jumped up and down like some girls do.
"I don't know them." I sighed, as the two got closer to us. "And then Serena says."
"Since when?" Serena placed her arms on her hips. "That's why Seiya smiled at me."
"I think it was ever since we were here." Taiki answered her question.
"What?" Everyone stared at Taiki.
I felt someone grab my arm and pull me out of the house.
"Shh." Seiya closed the door quietly. "They don't know we left."
"And they won't find you!" It came back.
"What do you want?" I backed up again.
"I want to make your lives miserable!" It threw marbles on the ground.
"What kind of attack is that?"
"This kind!"
The marbles rolled under my feet. "What the.."
"Don't move!"
"I'm not that stupid."
The marbles started to slide away. I didn't listen and took a step forward and slipped knocking my head on the cement.
"Amara!" Seiya tried to help me, but he fell too.
3:00PM, ?.
I noticed I wasn't outside anymore, even though my eyes weren't open. I knew someone was leaning over me, so I opened my eyes. A man who looked a little older than me stood there.
"Where am I? Why am I here? Who are you and what do you want from me!?" I got up in alarm.
"I didn't mean to scare you."
"That didn't answer any of my questions."
"I can't tell you any of that information." His hand came close to my face.
"Get away from me!" I tried to slap him.
He griped his hand on my wrist before I could slap him. "I didn't want to hurt you, but I changed my mind!"
His grip got tightened. "Stop!"
"You should of thought about that before you tried to slap me!"
"Why are doing this?"
"To teach you to respect your elders!"
"What?"
"I've been watching you since you were a child, and I never seen you be kind to any of your elders, including your parents!" He let go.
"Ow!"
"That's why."
"I never did anything to you!"
"Not to me, but some people I know!"
"Who?"
"Everyone."
"What?"
"Now you will pay!" Before I could do anything, it came into the room. "Finish her!"
"Not if I can help it!" A light shined and the thing blew up.
"Who's there!?" The man blocked me from leaving.
"Your worst nightmare." Helios came out of nowhere.
"What do you want!?"
"To stop you!"
"I haven't done anything... Yet."
"Helios?" I was shocked to see him again.
"You stay out of this!" The man knocked me on the ground.
"Leave her alone!" Helios demanded.
"And what are you going to do about it? Beat me with happy thoughts?"
"I have something much worse in mind."
"And what would that be?"
"A little thing called a dream."
"I'm not asleep."
"You will be." Helios snapped his fingers and knocked him out. "Are you okay?"
"I will be after I get out of here."
"Amara!" Seiya shouted from another room.
"Isn't it dead?" I sprinted out into the hallway. "He'll be dead before I find the right door."
"No he won't." Helios stood beside me. "Where did it sound like it was coming from?"
"There!" I come across an opened door.
"What are you waiting for?"
"What?"
"Aren't you going to save him?"
"Me?"
"He doesn't know me, but he knows you very well."
"But how do I..."
"You don't have to do anything."
"Wha.."
"Please believe me."
"Okay."
I took his advice and entered the room. Another ugly thing was there. It stopped when I came in. Seiya ran away from it, dodging it's attacks. The last attack hit him, causing him to fall at my feet.
"Seiya?" I kneeled down beside Seiya. "Are you alright?"
"..."
"No." I faced the thing. "Don't you have a heart!? He's probably dead and it's your fault!"
A second later it blew up like the other did.
"It's no use talking to him." I felt a tear run down my face. " Could... Could I really be in..."
"Amara?" Seiya whispered.
"What?" I finally noticed Seiya.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You look like something bad happened."
"Everything's fine now."
"We have to leave." Helios didn't look happy.
"Who's he?" Seiya questioned me.
"I will tell you later, but we must leave now."
"But how?"
Helios answered my question without words. There was a flash of light, then I passed out.
4:00PM, Outside The Three Lights House.
"Maybe they're at the park." Kat argued with Michelle while they walked on the sidewalk. "It's not like..."
"It's not like what?" Michelle saw what Kat was looking at. "Are they?"
"No. They're just unconscious," Kat then whispered. "I hope they don't wake."
"What?"
"Nothing. Let's get them inside."
5:03PM, The Three Lights House.
I opened my eyes, seeing I was back in Seiya room. Seiya was laying beside me.
"Was it a dream, or is this a dream?" I pinched myself. "Ow. At least I know this isn't a dream."
"Amara?" Seiya turned to faced me.
"Hmm?"
"Who was that guy?"
"A friend."
"I've never met him."
"We knew him before you three came."
"He helped you?"
"He helped everyone, mostly Rini."
"When did he leave?"
"After we defeated the enemy."
"Do you have a problem with me living!?" I heard Kat in the other room.
"No, I have a problem with you always taking everyone side!" Michelle had gotten in another argument with Kat.
"Well, that's too bad!"
"That's it!" Michelle tried to jump at Kat, but I held her back. "What?"
"You're happy to see me." I let Michelle go.
"What happened?" Kat stared at me.
"No much." I made a fist with one hand. "Ow."
Everyone jumped back.
"What was that?" Kat forced me onto a couch.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me see your hand."
"What?"
"Let me see your hand."
"Okay." I lifted my hand so Kat could see it.
"Don't move your hand" Kat poked me in the middle of my hand.
"Ow."
"I knew it, something's wrong." Kat grabbed my arm, speaking under her breath. "He's gonna pay."
"Do you know how much that hurts?"
"This will only take a second." She looked at the front and back of my hand. "That must hurt."
"What?"
"How did you break your wrist?"
"It's really broken?"
"I'm not lying."
"..."
"How did..."
"Him."
"Who!?"
"I'm not sure who he was."
"Oh, when was this?"
"Earlier."
"W..."
"He broke out of it." Helios appeared behind Kat.
"Who the heck are you!?" Kat almost fainted. "Another one!"
"That's not important right now."
"If I call the police it will be!"
"Kat. He's a friend." I spoke up.
"Helios?" The others asked, confused.
"Yes, it's me. Something bad's going to happen. Can you stop him?"
"I could of stopped him, but he broke my wrist."
"How did you know her wrist was broken Kat?" Seiya stood in the middle of the room.
"T..."
"Why do I has the feeling you're hiding something from us?" Seiya crossed him arms.
"That's a good question." Trista stood the same way as Seiya. "What about you Michelle?"
"I know something no one knows." Michelle smiled.
"What?"
"Do you now what Kat is?"
"A sailor scout."
"Of what?"
"Everything we didn't cover."
"Not even close."
"Then what?"
"The Earth."
"Seven Inners?"
"Six."
"What about..."
"Outer."
"How do you know this?"
"All the clues add up."
"What clues?"
"About Kat."
"What clues about Kat?"
"She loves cats, cats are part of the Earth, and that means Kat is the protector of Earth."
"You mean that Kat has to put up with Serena?"
"I guess."
"No way!" Kat replied.
"You didn't answer the question." Michelle was still smiling.
"Okay. Listen up cause I'm only saying this once. I have a special trick I can do."
"Is it that special?"
"I don't know how to explain it."
"What do you know?"
"I know everything about everyone."
"What?" Trista still confused, asked.
"This doesn't make sense. First, you being a moonie, then second, you know everything about everyone." I ignored the glares thrown at me.
"Moonie? What are you talking about Amara?"
"Nothing."
"It sounded like it was more than something."
"It's just a word."
"Did Kat make that one up to?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"That's what I said."
"Oh, she dissed you!" Kat jumped up with joy.
"Are you done yet?" Raye shook her head.
"And what if I'm not?"
"Then I'll make you!"
"I'd to see that happen."
"When I get over there it will happen."
"I'm waiting?"
"What?"
"Sometime this year."
"You really want to slapped, don't you?"
"I said I'm waiting."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"Before I came, you five couldn't hurt a fly."
"Is that what you think?"
"That's what I know."
"You thought wrong."
"It has to be right if I heard it from someone."
"Who?"
"Michelle."
"T..."
"She did say it."
"Yeah, right."
"I have witnesses."
"I heard it." I agreed with Kat.
"Can't any of you people not fight for a day?" Yaten got our attention. "We do have more important things to do."
5:59PM, The Park.
"This is where you found out he liked you?" Kat leaned on a tree. "Not the most romantic place is it?"
"I probably have different opinions on some places." I spoke sarcastically.
"It is a pretty good place, whenever he says something wrong you could hit him with a branch."
"Isn't that against nature?"
"Maybe."
"Why are you asking me so many questions?"
"You know, Seiya isn't that bad."
"You like him?"
"I did before I saw how great a couple you two are."
"Really?"
"Y-Y-Yeah."
"What about Helios?"
"What about him?"
"Is he good enough to be on your friend list?"
"I don't know yet."
"He's not that bad, once you get to know him."
"What's that mean?"
"He could be your friend."
"I guess he could."
"I didn't know you liked him."
"I didn't..."
"Yes, you did."
"How do you do that?"
"It's easy."
"For you."
"Not all the time."
"True."
"What about the other two?"
"Don't they have someone?"
"They haven't told them."
"I don't like them."
"You're really picky."
"Look who I get it from."
"You don't have to do everything I do."
"I don't."
"Only somethings,"
"But not a lot."
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Finish my sentences."
"I have no idea."
"Nobody does."
"Exactly."
"Shouldn't we head back?"
"In a minute."
"Does that mean a hour?"
"No."
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
6:11PM, The Three Lights House.
Seiya sat on his bed, slapping himself.
"I can't fall asleep. How can even think of sleeping? There's a maniac after Amara and... Was she? It couldn't be, could it? Does she really..." He closed his eyes.
"I really what?" I was laying on the bed.
"How did you..."
"I'm really fast."
"Oh, yeah."
"I thought you knew that."
"Not that fast."
"The more I run, the faster I get."
"I didn't know that."
"That means you're really fast."
"What?"
"You always running from me."
"You've never left without leaving a mark a on me."
"I'm too fast for you."
"You mean everyone."
"I guess."
"Are you going to leave anytime soon."
"Too comfortable."
"That means you're not going to leave, unless I drag you out of my room?"
"If you can."
"Do you think I'm that weak?"
"You don't look that strong to me."
"I don't?"
"No."
"Where have you been?"
"More places than you."
"O..."
"Unlike him I can my sentences because I'm not that tired."
"You will be." A familiar voice responded from the doorway.
"It's you." I pulled myself up.
"You didn't think I wasn't coming back, did you?"
"How did you get in here?"
"You're not even close to being smarter than me."
"That's what you think."
"Wrong again."
"Again?"
"You fell for my act."
"What act?"
"Did you look back in the room when you out?"
"No."
"You were too worried about leaving."
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you missing anything?"
"Not that I know of."
"Better remember what you're carrying, so you don't leave it behind."
"Y.."
"Now you remember."
"You have it?"
"I'm not giving it to you."
"You're suppose to return missing items to the rightful owner."
"Is that true?"
"Yes."
"I'm not returning it."
"Then I'll have to take it back."
"With one hand?"
"I could do it with no hands, old goat."
"What did you call me?"
"Nothing, old man."
"Why don't say that to my face?"
"I'd pass out before I get away from the bed."
"You think so?"
"I don't think so, I know you need a tic tac."
"What?"
"Take the whole pack, no take the whole gift pack."
"You won't think that's funny later."
"Whatever you say."
"You do know I have those powerful creatures."
"Those things are weak."
"How would you know?"
"It only takes a second to kill them."
"The ones you fought were fakes."
"What?"
"They weren't even a little real."
"How?"
"You aren't smiling anymore, are you?"
"You can't hurt me."
"Why not?"
"The others..."
"You two are the only ones here."
"No."
"You lose."
"No!" I rushed towards him.
"That wasn't a good idea." A metal pipe appeared in his hand. He swung it and hit me. "How does it feel?"
"Hey! What are you doing!?" Seiya held a baseball bat in one hand. "You can't just come in here and beat up my friends!"
"What are you going to do about it?"
"To keep it, you have to give it away." I spoke softly.
"What?" The two glanced at me.
"To keep your dignity, you have donate to the community."
"I don't believe in that!"
"Well, you should!"
"Why?"
"Because people don't like someone who doesn't help."
"I proved that was wrong."
"Talking to yourself doesn't count."
"What?"
"You know what I said."
"Would you like to say that to my face?"
"I would get knocked back down, remember?"
"Did you ever learn manners?"
"Better than the ones you learned."
"I'm not going to listen to this anymore!"
"You could've finished me off earlier."
"I didn't have a reason before."
"Do you have to have a reason to do everything?"
"You're lucky."
"Why?"
"I'm giving you one more day to live."
"I don't have a," I began to feel tired. "Problem with it..."
7:00PM, The Three Lights House.
Taiki unlocked the front door and entered the house. He searched the house until he was in front of Seiya's room.
"He's probably asleep. I won't wake him."
"Taiki!" Seiya screamed from inside the room. "Go get the others, and do it quickly!"
"What!?"
"He came!"
"He did?"
"Yes!"
"Why are you screaming? Want to wake Seiya?" Yaten informed Taiki.
"Seiya's up and that guy he was talking about came." Taiki updated Yaten information.
"Then let's go get the others."
7:11PM, Serena's house.
All of the Inners relaxed, not speaking or thinking. Kat sat upside-down watching Serena eat.
"I can't believe I have to take orders from this clumsy and insane person!" Kat threw her hands to the ground.
"It isn't the worst thing." Raye disagreed with Kat.
"It is to me!"
"You should get out more then!"
"I'm not the one that goes to Meatball-head's aid whenever she faints, gets pushed, or knocked down!"
"At least I care for someone!"
"I do care for someone, that's not her!"
"You don't act like it!"
"Well look at you! If beating up people is caring for them, you make the perfect friend!"
"I wouldn't be talking!"
"Well, I'am!"
"Well, you shouldn't be!"
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"Want a bet!?"
"Yeah, I do!"
"Guys, this isn't helping!" Serena blocked the two from each other. "Now listen to me. I won't take no for an answer. You two are going to stop f...."
"Serena, Kat!" Yaten ran in the room.
"What?" The two faced him.
"That guy came and beat Amara up."
"What!?"
"Come on!"
Kat left before the others could get up. She slowed down outside of the Lights house almost slipping on the ice. She tried to catch her breath and go inside, but she continued to run. Seiya opened the door, looking around, then closing it. He slowly headed back to his room, not seeing Serena and her friends call to him through the window. After a while of silence, he opened the door to his room, he leaned over the unconscious figure, which is known as me.
"Seiya?" Serena had entered the house with the other six. "I just saw him."
"Serena I think we shouldn't be here right now." Lita sat down at the bottom of the stairs. "I mean, what if Seiya finds out we're just coming in his house, without even asking. Isn't it..."
"A crime." Seiya finished her sentence. "It's nice that you could get here so soon."
"Well, it's serious when one of us gets hurt." Serena, clueless, glanced around the room. "Is Kat upstairs, Seiya?"
"No. She didn't even come by here."
"What?"
"I didn't see her."
"But, Amara's..."
"She's not here."
"Amara's going to..."
"I know."
"I know what we can do. One of us can go get Kat."
"I'll go get Kat."
"But, Seiya, what about Amara?"
"I have to do it."
"Why not me?"
"I owe Amara."
"What happens when Amara wakes up."
"Just tell her." Seiya left before they could argue.
7:43PM, The Park.
Seiya searched the area, until he saw someone on a bench. He got closer to see who it was. Kat was asleep, laying on the bench. Seiya kneeled down beside her, paying no attention to Kat's left hand. Just then, the lights in the park turned off. Seiya tried to get up, but he was pulled back down.
"What the..." Seiya found his face less than an inch away from Kat's.
"You know something," Kat pulled him closer. "I never trusted or liked you."
"What about all of the things you said about me, about you saying I was cute when you first saw me."
"I lied."
After a little bit silence, Kat whispered in Seiya ear.
"In case you're wondering, if people can't see or hear you they can't help you."
"No. P..."
Kat cut-off Seiya by kissing him. Seiya managed to get her off, so he could yell at her.
"What are doing!?"
"Telling you to keep away from Amara!"
"Why!? Because she's happy!?"
"She was just fine without you to be someone else to worry about!"
"She could of just told me to stay away from her, but she didn't!"
"Well she will have to when I tell her what kind of person you are!"
"What!?''
"See ya never." Kat jumped up and sprinted towards the house.
"Wait!" He went after Kat.
8:00PM, The Three Lights House.
Serena paced back and forth in Seiya room, with Rini following her. I finally woke up, sighing or moaning, getting the two's attention.
"Amara, are you okay?" Rini came to my side first. "What happened? Who did this to you? Seiya went to go get Kat."
"W..."
"Kat calm down. Tell us what happened." I heard Michelle's voice coming from downstairs.
"Is something wrong?" Serena and Rini helped me down the stairs.
"Seiya." Kat answered in quiet voice.
"What happened to him?"
"Happened to me, is the thing you should be worrying about."
"What?"
"When I was at the park, Seiya came. He said he was here to get me. I asked him why the others couldn't, but he didn't reply, all he did was stare at me with this hateful look. I started to walk away, hoping he stopped staring at me. Before I could leave, he grabbed my arm saying he was going to get rid of me once and for all."
"I don't believe you."
"Then believe this." Kat lifted her right arm showing everyone a scar from her wrist to above her elbow. "Last time everyone saw me, I didn't have this."
"Oh, my..."
"Amara!" Seiya busted into the room. "Are you alright?"
"I am now." I replied in a hateful tone.
"What do you mean?"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"I heard what happened."
"Then you know who's guilty."
"I do."
"You know what Kat did to me?"
"I know what you did to Kat."
"What are you..."
"Who do you believe?" Kat stood behind me. "If you don't believe him, we can leave right now."
"Amara..." Seiya started.
"Let's go." I followed Kat out.
