A/N. Ahhh...ok I don`t really know why I`m still doing this...hehe maybe
it`s cause I like you would like to know what happens to everyone...well any
how chapter one was when Barda meat Black and Red now it`s Lief`s turn. Maybe
they will find out why their there....hope you like!

Lief sat down at one of the tables in the library. He sat there and thought
about the dream he had had.
"I do not understand what it means." He laid his head down and closed his
eyes.
"Lief....Lief...help me...please....help me!"
Liefs` eyes snapped opened as he sat straight up to see who had spoke to him.
His eyes scanned the room for the owner of the voice, but saw no one and that
he was the only one in the library.
"Lief! Here you are!" Barda said as he walked into the room, "There are
two boys who say they must see you."
Before Lief could utter a word two boys walked into the library. One of the
boys called Red explained what he could to Lief.
"So what happened before you found Black?" Lief asked
"I don`t know." Red replied, "Black?" he nudged his brother with his elbow,
"Hey come on Black tell us what happened!"
Black looked up and looked Lief in the eyes, Lief thought Blacks` eyes
looked blank.
"I..." was the only thing that came out of Blacks` mouth before he fell
over unconscious.
Red fell to his knees next to his brother. "Black, hey come on man this
isn`t funny say something...hey come on wake up damn you." he started to
shack Black as tears ran down his cheeks.
"Emerald." the mysterious voice whispered in Liefs` ear.
"Poison!" Lief cried out with out knowing he had.
Red looked confused at first then remembered something his brother had said
when they had found him.
"It`s hurt Red."
"What does Black?" He had asked
"My left arm." Black answered
"Your left arm!" Red cried out coming out of his thoughts. He grabbed his
brothers left arm and pulled up his sleeve.
There on Blacks` arm just below the elbow was some kind of bite that was
dark in color it looked almost black.
"This must have been how my brother got poisoned." Red said looking down at
his brother, "Can you help him?"
Lief didn`t know how to answer the question, should i help him or not? kept
running through his mind. Something, though made him say yes, he didn`t know
what made him say what he did. Maybe it was the look in Reds` eyes.
They had moved Black to one of the rooms and had laid him down in the bed.
Red took off Blacks` clock, must be out of habit Lief thought.
As Lief sat next to the bed holding the emerald in the center of the bite,
he looked at Blacks` face. Blacks` hair was strange for it was black and the
bangs were red and what was weirder was the strange marks on his face. There
were three one long one a medium one and a small one. The long and short ones
were red at the tips and black in the center, the medium one was all green. I
wonder what they stand for?
"Your...the...the one from my dream!" Lief said, "But why were you at the
forge?"
*********
"Come on Black hurry up!"
"I`m comen` StoneCrystly!" Black yelled back.
The young gargle women sat down on a rock, folded up her wing and waged the tip of her tale slowly.
"Unlike you I can`t glide." Black said sitting down next to her.
Black looked at StoneCrystle. She was lovely with her long black-brown hair braided, her green eyes
sparkling in the moon light and her pale gray skin looked almost white in the moon light.
She looks cute, Black thought as he looked at her light blue belly shirt and her dark blue jean shorts.
Then suddenly out of the shadows a giant hand reached out and grabbed StoneCrstle and pulled her into the
shadows.
"Black help!" her cries slowly faded as she vanished into the darkness.
"Stone! Stone!" Black called out.
"Ha ha ha! Your friend is mine now to do what I please to." a voice said from the darkness, "And
I think I will make her into a lovely statue and keep her forever that way, so I can admire her. Ha ha ha!"
"No don`t! That's worse than death!" Black cried out. His eyes snapped open to see Lief sitting next to him.
"Where am I?"
"You are in the castle." Leif answered, "You passed out before you could tell me what had happened to you
before Red found you."
Black laid there looking at the ceiling, "Nothing, nothing at all."
