Chapter 4
3:19 in the morning and Tara couldn't sleep. For some odd reason, Irene's prediction about the two weakest being used as a weapon against Sekhmet and Loren frightened her. Tara concluded that she and Irene were going to be used as the weapons against Loren and Sekhmet. Tara shuddered; the fact that she was a smart student with the uncanny ability to plan, research, and strategize wouldn't help her this time. From what she had seen with the other two Seasons, Dais and Cale weren't going to take any chances. 'Stop it,' Tara scolded herself, 'you can only do what you can when the time comes.'
Tara sighed out loud, she couldn't dwell on these thoughts, she had to get some sleep, but Irene's prediction scared the daylights out her. Tara knew that Irene's prediction might come true, but she couldn't see herself used a weapon against her best friend. Getting up to get some water, Tara went downstairs to the kitchen. When Tara walked in, Irene was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking some milk, "You know," Tara glared at Irene, "one day you are going to predict something, and someone isn't going to like what you say."
Irene smiled, "Then it's better if they don't ask the question."
"So, do you think that we'll be the two Dais and Cale capture?" Tara asked.
Irene looked at Tara, "Do you really want to know?"
"Damn it," Tara cursed, "Don't hide stuff from me Irene, you know I hate that."
Irene smiled, "Then you should not have asked."
As Tara got her water, she sat down at the table, "Why do you think these two nuts want Loren?"
"There could be many reasons," Irene replied.
"So you aren't all-knowing," Tara laughed.
"I never said I was," Irene said sadly.
Tara smiled in triumph, "Maybe you're not all knowing, but…"
Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass was heard in Living Room. Before Irene or Tara could make a sound, the lights in the kitchen went out. "Shit!" Tara cursed, "I hate it when you're right."
"Run!" Irene ordered, as both girls ran out the side door to go upstairs.
Tara and Irene ran up the stairs and headed straight for Loren's room when Cale appeared in front of them, "Now I have you both," he laughed.
"Split!" Tara yelled, as both girls turned around only to find Dais standing behind them.
"Trapped," Irene hissed as the two Seasons closed in.
Tara looked around franticly, hoping to find an escape. Suddenly, Tara saw a vase that was next to Loren's door. Grabbing it, Tara flung the vase in Dais' direction. Dais dodged the vase as it hit the wall and shattered. Tara hoped it would accomplish what she had intended.
*******************************************************************************************
Loren heard the vase shatter and woke up. 'Something isn't right,' she thought. Then she heard another object shatter. Loren jumped out of her bed only to hear two thuds on the floor. Picking up her armor orb, Loren made the mental connection to Cruelty.
'Cruelty, get the others up,' Loren said mentally.
'Done,' Cruelty replied.
Loren called her sub armor and ran out into the hall only to find Tara and Irene on the floor with Dais and Cale standing behind them. Loren noticed that in both their hands there was a syringe filled with an aqua-blue liquid, "What did you do to them?" Loren demanded.
Dais smiled, "It's just a sleeping drug."
"Let them go!" Loren yelled, "If you have problem with me, then lets deal with it right now!"
Cale laughed, "If you want them both, you will have to come to the Dynasty and get them."
"You…!" Loren began, but before she could move or say anything else, Dais and Cale picked up Tara and Irene and slung them over their shoulders. Loren heard their laughter as they teleported away with her best friends.
