A/N: Ok I'm not really caring if I get reviews or not any more (though it would be nice!) I'm gonna continue this story cause I like it too much to just dump it! =P

After school

Kaitlyn was wandering around the streets of Spooksville trying to get a better idea of where everything was when she heard the screech of tires behind her. She turned to see a red convertible like the one in her dream coming speeding towards her. The driver screamed thinking she was about to hit the young girl and closed her eyes; seeing that the driver had closed her eyes Kaitlyn pulled out her wand and used the jump card to get out of the way. There was huge screech as the car scraped along the corner of the wall near where Kaitlyn had been. The car then managed to come to a stop and the driver came out looking extremely pale. Kaitlyn looked up at the driver, she looked around the same age as her brother and Julian, she had long very dark brown hair and slightly lighter coloured eyes.

"You're alive! Are you ok?" asked the driver with concern.

"I'm ok." Kaitlyn replied.

"Thank goodness. I'm so sorry, this is my first time driving without an instructor I'm not very good."

"That's ok, nobody's good at everything."

The driver smiled at her. "My name's Natasha, what's your's?"

"I'm called Kaitlyn."

"Well Kaitlyn, if there's any way I can make this up to you just tell me."

"Well you could try practicing your driving by yourself somewhere, where no one will get hurt."

"Thanks for the tip." Said Natasha smiling. "Well I better go I've got to get ready for my knew job tomorrow."

"See ya."

"Bye."

Kaitlyn waved as Natasha drove away. Once she was out of site Kaitlyn looked up to see what street she was on. The sign read Dead Lane.

The next day at school during lunch

Kaitlyn sat under a tree wandering about what had happened the night before.

=Flashback=

Kaitlyn was kneeling on the floor talking to Kero about what had happened and how it related to her dream.

"Well Kaitlyn, I don't know why but maybe you were meant to meet her, she might be more important than you think."

"Do you think she has anything to do with the Madeleine cards, Kero?"

"She might I wouldn't know, but I know who probably would the guardians of those cards. I think you better find out where to go and get the book, cause that's where they'll be."

"Ok, I'll go there tonight after school."

=End Flashback=

Kaitlyn was so busy trying to figure out who she should ask for directions that she didn't notice Adam, Sally, Watch, Cindy and Bryce coming towards her.

"Hey Kaitlyn." She got up and turned around startled.

"Oh, hey…uh"

"Adam."

"Right, sorry I was just thinking about something else."

"That's ok."

"Yeah, what were you thinking about?" asked Sally.

"Natasha!?"

"Huh?"

The group looked behind them to see one of the new staff approaching them.

"Hello Kaitlyn, I should have expected to see you here since this is the only school in town."

"Uh, yeah. What are you doing here?"

"I took a job teaching science here, they just got a knew opening because a teacher left after there was a major fire."

"But that was just yesterday." Exclaimed Cindy.

"I know, he quit right after it so they called me and offered me the job, are you all in my class?"

"Not all of us, just me, Adam, Sally and Watch." Natasha looked at her a little confused, then Kaitlyn realised that she didn't know the others' names. "Oh, right, this is Adam, Watch, Sally and… um I don't know their names."

"I'm Bryce."

"I'm Cindy."

"Pleased to meet you I'm Natasha, oh, I better go I've got to set up for the class, bye."

"Bye."

"So Kaitlyn, how do you know Natasha?" Asked Cindy.

"She almost run me over yesterday afternoon." Replied Kaitlyn casually. The others stared at her. "What? It was an accident."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After school

Kaitlyn was walking down the halls to her locker when somebody came running around a corner right into her.

"I'm sorry." The boy stuttered.

"What's the rush?" Kaitlyn asked. "School's over ya know."

"It's not that." He said.

"Hey, where'd you go? Oh, there you are!" exclaimed a tall boy coming around the corner.

"Oh no."

"Who are you?" Asked Kaitlyn, not liking the looks of this guy.

"Oh you're the new girl, it's none of your business."

Now Kaitlyn really didn't like this guy. "Ok then," Then looking at the boy who ran into her. "Could you help me find my way out since I'm new."

"Uh, sure." The boy got up and quickly went with Kaitlyn, leaving the other boy seething.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Later outside the school

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, what's your name?"

"George."

"George, could you tell me where the witch's castle is?"

"Uh, it's up that way." He said pointing. "But if you want to know exactly where you'd be better off asking Adam or Watch or someone else."

"Do you know where they are?"

"I think I heard something about them going up to the hills somewhere."

"Oh, well I'll find it, thanks, see ya." Kaitlyn walked off in the direction George had pointed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At the witch's castle

Kaitlyn walked up to the moat wondering how she was going to get across to the castle and into it. She knew the Fly card could easily get her past the moat but if she couldn't get in there was no point. She finally decided that she could use the power card to knock the door down, which she could hopefully repair later.

She had just released the sealing wand when for some reason the drawbridge lowered and the castle door opened. She cautiously approached with her wand still out and the windy card ready in her hand. She entered and looked around trying to figure out the best place to start looking for the book.

Ring ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Star Bunny!"

"CHRIS!"

"Sorry, anyway the book is in the library to your right."

"How'd you… never mind."

"Ja ne."

"See ya."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Afterwards

When Kaitlyn got home with the book, Julian, Kero and Kao (the hippogriff) were waiting for her in the backyard.

"So where's the guardian's?" Kero asked.

"One of them's still in the book, the other one's missing."

"Well than maybe the one in the book knows where the other is."

"I hope so." Said Kaitlyn opening the book to call out the guardian. A small black cat like creature with clear wings came out.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Kaitlyn, I was sent here to recapture the missing cards."

"Missing cards?…Aah! Where'd they go? How'd they escape? Oh no!"

"You didn't know they were gone?" asked Kero, criticising him.

"Say's he who was taking a 40 year nap when the clow cards were released." Said Kaitlyn.

"Hehe."

"So you're the new Card Mistress, eh? Well I'm Spinel Sun, guardian of the seal of the Madeleine cards and right now I can sense on of the stronger ones."

"Where?"

"Up in the Spooksville hills, it's the explosion. That's the only card I would be able to sense from this far away."

"There are people I know up there, 5 of them… like in my dream! We gotta get there now!" Kaitlyn pulled out the sealing wand and started Flying to the hills.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile

"Why are we here again?" Asked Sally, wanting to leave.

"Because the note said we would discover something extremely useful here." Replied Bryce.

"And how do we know this isn't some kind of trap?"

"We don't."

"That's comforting."

Suddenly there was a loud bang from the next room. They all turned around to see a flaming red colour, but it was no longer moving the explosion seemed to be somehow frozen.

"Guys, get out of there now!" Screamed a voice from outside. They turned and ran outside to find Kaitlyn with some kind of staff held over a glowing card. "Get back here or you'll get caught in the explosion, I can't keep this up for much longer." They hurried to the edge of the clearing near where Kaitlyn was. Kaitlyn lifted her staff off the card ,which flew to her backpack, and brought it down again quickly yelling. "Explosion, return to your power confined." The red fire swirled to a card form under her wand. The card fully formed and flew to her hand, she took it and then collapsed from using all her energy on the time card.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At Kaitlyn's house

"So what you're saying is someone released these powerful cards that she has to capture to stop them from destroying the world." said Adam.

"Yep." Answered Kero.

"Where did those cards come from, though?" Asked Watch.

"A rival of Clow Reed created them, Madeline Templeton."

"Of course, she would be the one to create a deck of cards to take over the world." Said Sally.

"What are you saying about my old mistress?" questioned Spinal Sun.

"She was your mistress?" Asked Cindy.

"Uh-huh, she created Ruby Moon and I as Guardians of the cards, the way Clow Reed created Yue and Keroberus."

"Well I don't trust her." Exclaimed Sally.

"Why not, she did save your life. Twice if you include the fire." Stated Kero.

"Well…"

"It's true," spoke up Yue. "It would have been quicker for her to just seal the card, but you would have died, so she used all her energy on the time card to save you and that's why she collapsed." He peered over at the girl who still hadn't woken up.

"I think we should trust her." Said Adam.

"What!" exclaimed Sally.

"We don't have any real reason not to trust her." Said Bryce.

"Good then, I don't think she would've been pleased to find out that you didn't like her because she saved you." Said Kero. Then Kaitlyn started to wake up.

"Huh… hey wasn't I in the hills a minute ago?"

"Actually that was an hour ago." Kero replied.

"WHAT?"

"Yue went after you and brought you and your friends back here." Kero explained.

"Oh, I'm guessing they already explained to you about me being the card captor huh?"

"Yeah."

"And knowing this town your probably gonna want to burn me at the stake for witch craft."

"Actually, no."

"Huh? Not that I'm not pleased by this but why?"

This time it was Bryce who spoke up. "We've seen scarier looking things before but they're not always bad and you did save us, some of us twice."
