Chapter 4:

" Kai you're a freak!" Sonia said laughing and crying at the same time. She would have said more but
~ Is my vision going stupid? ~ Sonia asked herself. For some strange reason she could see an odd
colored light comming off of Kellen, Valmar, and Kai. Sonia then looked at her hand and saw the same
thing. ~ No it's not my eyes...I can see auras! Tightness! ~ She thought. Kai's aura was red with deep
pure golden streaks, Kellen's was a dark green, Valmar had a deep purple, and Sonia's was dark blue
bright silver streaks.
" What the hell are you starring at?" Kai asked sitting up.
" My arua."
" Huh?"
" Every one has an aura. I think the colors are related to how strong that person is." Sonia said
matter of factly.
" Gee, that is the first intellegent sentence that has come out of your mouth since we've been here."
Kai said in mock wonder.
" Shut up!" Sonia snapped.
" Now that's more like it!" Kai said laughing.
" Come on we need to get back to the castle." Kellen said helping Sonia to her feet. Valmar did the
same with Kai.
When they got back a horrible sight met their eyes. The castle was in ruins. Flames had
engulfed two of the four towers and the front gates had been reduced to splinters.
" What in God's name happened?" Kellen asked one of the guards on clean up duty.
" The Zeibauk Empire is what happened!" The guard snapped , glaring at Valmar.
" Lay off!" Kai growled at the guard.
" Are you issuing orders paes--" The guard began , then he took a look at Kai's armor and the fact that
she still had spots, and fell silent.
" I'm sorry for shouting at you Captain." The guard suddenly said bowing to Kai.
" What the fuck are you talking about? Did you get into Sonia's pixie stix stash?" Kai asked.
" Your armor dumb shit!" Sonia hissed.
" Oh..."
" And Kellen the King is looking for you." The guard siad turning to Kellen.
" Thank you." Kellen said leading the way into the castle's enterance hall.
Once they were in side a room off to the side of the enterance hall Valmar turned to Kai and Sonia.
" I've got to find my father." He said.
" Alright, but becareful the guards don't really seem to like you much." Kai cautioned.
" And I have to find the King." Kellen said and with that he and Valmar left.
" Some night huh?" Sonia said leaning up against a wall that was next to a window.
" Yea." Kai muttered looking out the window that Sonia was standing next to.
Sonia had been gazing off into space when a voice brought her back to reality.
" Sharon? Courtney? It's been a very long time...and what the hell did you do to your hair, Sharon?"
A tall man with black and white streaked hair asked them as he walked into the room.
" I'm not --" Sonia began as the man drew he into a hug.
" Your mother and I have missed you so much." He said.
Kai started to laugh when she turned around and saw Sonia .
" I think he's abit old for you Sonia." Kai said laughing harder.
" Sonia ? " The man said his smile fading a little.
" Yea that's Sonia Briefs and I guess you've got me confused with my mom." Kai said laughing still.
" Can you--please let--me go? I --can't --breathe." Sonia gasped.
" Oh I 'm sorry." The man said letting her go.
" Who are you anyway? " Sonia asked rubbing her ribbs.
" I guess you were too young to rememder me." The man said , his smile brightening now.
" Remember you!? I've never seen you before!" Sonia excalimed. " Shut up Kai!" she added.
" Alright ,alright!" Kai gasped reverting back to her human form. " But seriously who are you? "
" I am King Van of Fanalia, Sonia's grandfather." Van said smilling at Sonia.
" YE-YA!" Sonia squeeled hugging him.( ye-ya means grandfather in Chinese or Japanese)
" I'm going to go over here...this love fest is making me sick." Kai muttered.
She then walked over to a different window, just in time to see the sun rise. Kai sighed ~ I wonder if mom
and dad are worried about me...~
