Chapter 5
"THOSE SADISDTIC SONS OF BITCHES!" Loren yelled, "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM, I'M GOING TO PERSONALLY RING THEIR NECKS!"
"Loren, calm down," Mia said.
"Irene was right," Sekhmet said sadly, "they were the two weakest."
"JUST GREAT!" Loren yelled louder, "THIS IS JUST GREAT. MY FRIENDS COME OVER TO SPEND TIME WITH ME AND THEY END UP GETTING KIDNAPED BY THOSE TWO ASSHOLES!"
Loren finally stopped shouting and calmed down. She didn't want this to happen. She never wanted to explain this to Tara and Irene, but now she had no choice. 'I didn't want this to happen,' Loren thought as tears started to run down her face, 'I didn't want to bring Irene and Tara into this.'
Sekhmet saw Loren's tears; he dreaded telling her what he had found at the scene of the kidnapping. "Loren," Sekhmet began uneasily, "Dais and Cale left something for us."
'They left us something.' Loren thought, 'maybe it will help me find Tara and Irene.' "What did they leave?" She asked.
"A note," Sekhmet said as he produced a piece of paper.
"May I see it?" Loren asked.
"Sure," Sekhmet said.
Sekhmet handed the note to Loren, it read:
Dear Venom and Cruelty,
We have Tara and Irene. If you want them back, you will have to do a trade, your lives for their lives. If you feel the need to attempt to rescue them from the castle, we will be waiting for you.
Sincerely,
Dais and Cale
'That's it!' Loren thought as she crumpled up the paper, 'no more games. Now it's personal!'
"What did the note say?" Sage asked.
"They're willing to trade," Loren gritted her teeth, "me and Sekhmet for Irene and Tara."
"Tell them what else the note said," Sekhmet encouraged her.
"They'll be ready for us if we attempt a rescue operation," Loren finished.
"What do you intend to do?" Ryo asked.
"I'm going into Salem's Lot," Loren replied.
"You can't go in alone." Sekhmet said, "They could have a trap set up for you."
"I know," Loren replied, "but if I'm going to die, I'm going to die knowing that I tried to get my friends out."
"I'll go with you," Sekhmet concluded.
Loren shook her head, "it's what they want Sekhmet. It's better if one of us goes. Besides, if they capture both of us, who knows what they'll do next."
"That's why I want to go with you," Sekhmet said.
"We're going too," Rowen said.
Loren looked at them, "they want me and Sekhmet, not you five. Besides, this realm needs the five Elemental armors."
"We're going," Ryo finished, "we don't want anything to happen."
"You don't trust us?" Sekhmet asked.
"We don't want to lose Loren like we…" Ryo started.
'Not again,' Loren thought. "Look, I am not Anubis," she glared, "you five are going to have to realize that sooner or later."
"It's not that," Cye said sadly, "what you're going to do, it was the exact same thing that Anubis did before he died."
"Save his friends?" Loren asked.
"Yes," Sekhmet replied.
'He did what he had to do,' Loren thought, 'I can't bring him back, but I can't leave my friends in the Dynasty either. Sekhmet and the others will make sure that I won't go alone, even if I tell them no. Besides, they'll be able to help me fight against Dais and Cale.'
Suddenly, the room was illuminated by Loren's virtue, and as she looked at the others, she said, "my loyalty is to all six of you, but I'm also loyal to my friends. I'm going in to save my friends, but if it'll make you feel better, you can come with me."
"Thank you," Sekhmet said.

Tara woke up to find herself in a throne room in an ancient Japanese castle, 'not a good sign,' she thought.
"Irene," Tara said as she started to shake the sleeping girl next to her, "Irene, wake up."
Irene's eyes flew open, "the place of many tragedies," she whispered.
"You mean Talpa's castle?" Tara asked.
"Yes," Irene replied.
"Good, you two are awake." A male voice laughed.
Tara and Irene looked to find two men standing in front of them. One had white hair and the other had blue hair, "Spider, Jackal," Irene said, "You are 400 years old, and yet you still have not lost your old habits."
"Irene!" Tara whispered, "don't do anything to piss them off."
"Clever girl," Dais smiled at the redhead.
"Why are we pawns in this game?" Irene demanded.
"You will learn," Cale smirked, "in good time."
With that, Cale and Dais teleported away, leaving the two girls alone in the empty throne room.
"THOSE SADISDTIC SONS OF BITCHES!" Loren yelled, "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM, I'M GOING TO PERSONALLY RING THEIR NECKS!"
"Loren, calm down," Mia said.
