I don't own them.

I'm surprised at how quickly this chapter came to me. I hope all of you liked this story. It will only a couple more chapters to go until I finish it. Please send all comments to cream_filled_peaches@yahoo.com or just review. ^_^ By the way, this chapter will be longer and more action filled than a lot of my other ones.

Pikachu watched as Ash and Amita disappeared from the alley. It shook its head forlornly.

" Pikapi."

Misty sat down on one of the couches in the sitting room. She took out a cell-phone and dialed Erica's number. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

" Hello?"

" Erica. It's me, 'Kasumi'. Are you busy?"

" Mis. err..Kasumi! I though you're not supposed to call me because I'm not one of your official contacts."

" I still haven't told them you know I'm alive yet. But don't worry; this isn't my cell phone. I borrowed this from Ash's mom. I had to ask her for it when I asked for the keys to their house over here in the Orange Islands. That was kind of embarrassing. Stupid Ash didn't have the keys, so I had to ask his mom. Maybe I'm paranoid, but since he and Amita started talking. I don't. it's like."

"Kasumi."

" He hardly listens to anybody."

" Misty!"

" What?"

" Wait. back up a little. Ash? You're talking to him? He knows?"

" Has it really been that long since we talked? I can't believe I haven't told you. Ash joined A*D*O. They asked him to join. It's just so complicated. There's something I need you to help me with. I need you to look for my parents. My parents are alive, Erica. Don't ask me why, but I think they faked their own death." Silence followed Misty's speech. She could hear Erica letting her breath trickle out.

" Mist. I mean, Kasumi. How do you want me to start out? Where?"

" I don't know. This is very important, Erica. I'm at Ash's father's house. Erica?" she looked at the cell phone. She turned it around in her hand, and realized the battery had been pulled out. She got up quickly and looked around the room. She could sense someone leaving the room. but there wasn't anybody.

" Who's there?" she asked loudly. She heard a door click, and she looked out the window just in time to see someone taking off running.

Misty double-checked the room she had planned to sleep in to make sure than no one was n there. and to make sure it had a lock. The house hadn't been used in a long time, but it was surprisingly clean. She lay on the bed, not sure if she should go to sleep already or check into a nearby hotel. She was almost falling asleep when she heard the doorknob turn. The door creaked as someone came in. She reached for her purse and found the gun she had brought.

" It's not loaded." A voice said cynically and laughed. "You left the bullets in your jacket in the living room."

Misty watched in fear as the figure advanced towards her.

Ash and Amita appeared in the A*D*O headquarters.

" Why the hell are we here?" Ash asked irritated.

" I need to talk to." she was interrupted by Mateo.

" Ash!"

" What is it?"

" Here. Give this to Misty." He said, handing him a dagger with a ruby handle. " The blade is covered with a poison that will leave no trace. Even the smallest cut with this thing will kill someone. Be careful." Ash wrapped it in some napkins and spoke.

" As long as she doesn't use it on me.", he trailed off.

" By the way, Ash," he whispered so Amita couldn't hear him, " Is this the girl that."

" Yes."

" Well, Sabrina knows you two are going to see her. She read her mind. She says that Misty could be in danger if you don't hurry up, so make you visit short."

" Misty is."

" Not at the moment."

" Good. Thanks for letting me know." Mateo nodded and walked away.

" Let's go." Amita ordered. They reached Sabrina's office in less than a minute.

" Ash, come in." Sabrina said, not acknowledging Amita.

" Good to see you after all this time, Sabrina." Amita said coldly.

" It's not quite so pleasant for me." Sabrina answered just as coldly.

" I see you came through. Congratulations. Your skills are more advanced than mine. I guess you win our little bet." Ash watched in confusion as the 2 women talked.

" I always knew I would. So why do you want to see me?"

" I think you know."

" Yes. I do. But I won't do it. That is something he has to do on his own. I can't find his sister for him. If I didn't help you when we were younger, what made you think I'd help you now?"

" Sabrina, you can find my sister?" Ash asked.

" Yes. but I'm not going to. I'm sorry Ash."

" Sabrina." Ash stopped suddenly as he felt a wave of something come over him. The same thing seemed to happen to Sabrina from the expression of pain on her face.

" It's Misty." Sabrina said suddenly. She waved her hand and teleported both Amita and Ash away to Misty.

' I'm sorry, Ash. But there's nothing you can do. It's destiny.' Those were Sabrina's last thoughts as her mind went completely black with pain.

Misty saw the figure come towards her. She tried to find something to throw at it, but her hand found only the bed sheets.

" You know, I don't like trespassers in my home. You used to be so polite, Misty. What happened?" the voice said coldly. Misty froze. The man switched on the light, revealing himself to Misty.

" Magnus." Misty managed to croak. It was like a more mature version of Ash. He was about as tall as Ash, maybe an inch taller. He was somewhat muscular, but not too much. What surprised Misty the most was the man's face. His face was almost the same as Ash's. His face looked older, but you looked like he was in his late twenties. Misty had expected the face and body of a hideous monster, not this handsome and impressing man.

"Smart girl. Now be a good girl and let me tie you up before my son gets here. Then we can have a nice long talk while we wait for him. We can even talk about your parent's fake death. and their real one."

Misty's eyes widened. The pieces put themselves together in her mind, but it was all still blurry. The tape. why hadn't she seen all of it before? She had.

~FLASHBACK~

Misty was sitting up on the bed, her shoulders shaking. The television went unheeded just like it had for the past hour or so. She got up, and walked to the bathroom, somewhat regaining her composture. As she went into the bathroom, big white letters appeared on the screen.

' STOP' the VCR was still for a few seconds. Then they were replaced by another word. REWIND.

~FLASHBACK~

Misty looked up Magnus. He was going around the bed, readying the rope. She took a deep breath, jumped off the bed, and ran out the door. Magnus cursed and walked towards the living room.

" Misty! Ash won't be here for a while, now be a good bargaining chip!" He looked around the room. His eyes narrowed as he heard a click somewhere behind him. He turned around slowly, raising his hands. Misty stood there with the gun aimed right at his heart.

Sabrina opened her eyes slowly. The light stung her eyes, even though the trees above her covered most of it. She recognized the forest. She was in Denk. She sat up, and listened. She could feel Ash's sister calling her. She took a deep breath and stood up. She still felt the pain from the blow she had received. So why had Ash's sister attacked her? That was the only explanation. Unless Ash's sister herself had been attacked, and she had felt the blow too. But that last one was too disturbing to think about.
