When Ed finally woke up, her mind was still a bit fuzzy from the recent occurances. Everything was dark and fuzzy. She squinted, but then realize it wasn't her, the room it's self was black, with the lights off too. She shivered upon realizing that the floor was icy cold. She struggled to get up, because her body felt heavy. "W-Where is Ed?" she wondered aloud. She forced to self to remember, and then a flash of green eyes appeared in her mind. "E-ED WAS KIDNAPPED!" she shrieked, her memory fully returning. She huddled her self in to a corner of the room, whimpering, tears staining her shirt. Just then, a door opened, introducing a ray of sunlight to the room. Ed's heart jumped, as she looked up. It was Esmerelda, but this time, not disguised. Her long green hair cascaded down her back, toppling over her shoulders. SHe had fierce green eyes, staring at Ed maliciously. "You kidnapped Ed!" exclaimed Ed, pointing a finger at Esmerelda. "Do you even know where you are?" she sneered. Ed shook her head. "You're in the dungeoun of my lair! The Emerald Gypsies! We travel on a ship much like the bebop," she explained, and then inched towards Ed's face so that their faces were a half an inch apart,"but much more dangerous," she hissed. Ed jumped up, yelping. "Stay! You won't be here for long if your friends know what's good for them!" "Can Ed at least come out of the room?" pleaded Ed. Esmerelda narrowed her eyes. "I suppose," she said finally. "No harm in that." Ed bounced out of the room, and stared out of the window. "J-Jupiter!" she squealed. "Yes, Jupiter. This ship has the ability to stay put, even in orbit, so that we can wait here. You're going to be staying here until I get everyone but Spike, and then he'll be mine," exclaimed Esmerelda, now talking to her self. Ed flinched. "SPIKE? NO!" she squealed. "Quiet you little troll, or you'll go back in the dungeoun," threatened Esmerelda. Ed bit her lip, inching away from Esmerelda. Esmerelda walked away to another gypsy with long ebony black hair, and mocha colored skin. Ed pretended to be preoccupied with what was outside, but was eavesdropping instead.
"Who will be next?" asked the gypsy. "The gambler... Faye. She fancies Spike, I know it. She isn't much of a friend anyway, rattling off to me about their whereabouts." Ed gasped. "Faye! Big sis Faye!" she exclaimed. Ed peered out the window once again. "Ed must find away to help Faye!"
