::Chapter 10: The Legend::
"Hey Storm!" cried Adriane as she hugged her friend. "It's been so long since I last saw you." Her eyes darkened. "I-I'm sorry. . . about the other day. I was acting like a total jerk."
Storm shook her head. "No. It's not your fault, Warrior."
Adriane smiled sadly. "I know."
Adriane told Storm about everything that they found out. From the pictures they found in Kara's attic, to the strange girl from the forest who happened to be Kara's neighbor, to everything Mrs. Fletcher had told Emily.
Storm nodded. "That girl. . . I've been keeping a close eye on her."
Adriane looked over. "Why? I mean. . . how do we actually know it's her with that strong power you were talking about?"
Storm shook her head. "Not that. I actually don't know much about her, but she's came here more than a few times."
"I saw her here once. On my way to Kara's."
Storm nodded. "She's been waiting for you three to show up everyday. She's been watching you."
Adriane's eyes widened. "H-How do you know?"
"I've seen her around. I watch her everyday. She's always in some sort of bush. She just sits there, watching you. Then she leaves."
Adriane felt a shiver go up her spine. "How freaky. What does she want?"
"I don't know. But I do know that it's her. She's the one."
Adriane fell silent. What if that girl was hiding somewhere, watching them at this very moment? "Storm. . . what kind of power is this exactly?"
Storm shook her head. "I'm not sure. . . it's different from what I've ever encountered. All I know is that whenever she's around I get this immense feeling. . . I can't explain."
Adriane nodded. "Do you have any idea of what it could be? Of what she could be?"
Storm paused for a moment before she continued. "There is one possibility. . ."
"What? What is it?" Adriane asked.
"But. . . it's likely that it's not true. . . but it's the only thing that fits. . ."
"Go on," Adriane said, her eyes on the mistwolf.
"There's an old legend about a sorceress. She was the most powerful of her kind. She practiced her magic for neither good nor evil. She was in the middle. Other creatures of both sides would do very extreme and dangerous things to get her on their side. She refused all offers. One night, the sorceress of evil managed to get her killed. "Her last words were 'When doors are opened and secrets are reveled I will come back, and those of the evil one will perish.'"
Adriane shuddered. "So what are you saying? You mean that girl is the sorceress?"
"I am not sure, but it is a possibility. But as I've said before, I may be wrong."
Adriane thought for a moment. When doors are opened and secrets are reveled. . . what was that suppose to mean?
Suddenly Adriane felt something. She couldn't explain it, but it was as if she felt a strong presence somewhere.
"She's here." Storm whispered. "We should get out of here."
Adriane and Storm raced out of the forest. They could see the sun beginning to set, and the beginning of the moon began to appear.
Back in the Ravenswood forest, two eyes watched as they left.
