Claimer: I only own Wyn, Aidan, evil Kamania, and 'The Legend of the Maiden.'
To ness: I might have Kamania die, but who do you think would kill her (hint, hint)? (I've figured out whose gonna die and whose going to kill.) I like the way Morgan and Wyn are interacting too by the way. I tried to make them sound like a real brother and sister would in that type of situation. I myself am an older sister to a little (*cough* bratty *cough*) sister. (Hehe.) ^_^ Thanks for reviewing!
To everyone: Review! Oh and if you look at the name of the title and think I'm going to kill Aidan and his dad you're wrong! I promise I won't!
Chapter 18: In Which Something Dreadful Happens to Aidan and His Father
Wyn sat in her classroom staring absently out the window once again. It seemed her teacher Mr. Aprilian had to take care of some family business and wouldn't be her teacher anymore. 'Family business? Ha! I'm sure he has to go 'lick' his baby sister's wounds!' Wyn thought sneeringly.
She turned to the front of the class were the new teacher was writing on the blackboard. Her name was Miss Coca. (A/N: How original was that! Miss Coca. Coca Cola, get it? Sheesh, I scare myself sometimes. Ok, I'll shut up now =P) She was a young woman with pale blond hair and half sphere shaped glasses that looked like they would fall off her nose at any moment.
Miss Coca turned around and smiled at the class. "Hello, boys and girls, I'm Miss Coca and I'm your new teacher," she said in an annoyingly high- pitched voice.
Wyn winced. 'Who does she think she is?! We're not five year olds! We're fifteen years old, lady!' she thought scornfully. It was about at this point Wyn began tuning out the aggravating teacher and went back to thinking about her vision. 'Oh, Morgan, this isn't going to be good for any of us really . . .' Wyn thought miserably.

Wyn walked home slowly. She paused outside Aidan's house. She noticed the way the building seemed far to quiet. 'Aidan should have been back by now and in school today!!!' she thought. She suddenly had an awful feeling of unease in the pit of her stomach and she ran up to the building.
She peered inside one of the windows in front of the house. 'There doesn't seem to be anyone home but that can't be right!' she thought anxiously. She went around to the back of the house and grabbed onto the sturdy vines creeping up the home. She began climbing up them cautiously. Eventually, they led to Aidan's room. She peeped inside. Something didn't feel right to Wyn though. She knew very well that Aidan was obnoxiously neat but everything in his room was in disarray.
She tried to push open the window, which easily opened under her thrust, and fell in. "Ow!" Wyn mumbled as her still bruised head made contact with the floor. She stood up, rubbing her head, and began looking around. "What happened here?! Its like a tornado hit!" Wyn noted uncomfortably.
That's when she saw it and she gasped. A large piece of crumpled torn up paper was sticking out from under the bed. The paper was splotched with blood. It looked like someone had been writing with bleeding fingers for the splotches appeared to be in the shape of fingerprints.
Wyn grabbed the paper and sat on the bed. She recognized Aidan's handwriting. He had obviously been writing very quickly. The words were messing and chopped but still readable.
It read: 'Kam attck dad & me. Trew mrir at me. Fngers bleed. She cming. Gotta go.
Aidan
"Grrrrr, Kamania!" Wyn shrieked when she realized what the message meant. It really said. 'Kamania attacked my dad and me. She threw a mirror at me and my fingers bled. She's coming. Gotta go. Aidan.'
Wyn felt awful. "Its all because of me . . ." she said dejectedly, "Kamania took him because of ME!" Wyn felt hot tears come to her eyes but she wiped them away irately.
She walked downstairs and into a hallway. Broken glass littered the floor and a cracked mirror frame lay on the ground with little glass left in it. Wyn noted the flecks of blood on the chips of glass. 'Aidan's own blood,' Wyn thought bitterly. She went into several of the other rooms, many of which showed no sign of the struggle that had gone on.
After a while she left with the piece of bloody paper clasped protectively in her fist. She transported directly into her room where she flopped onto her bed sorrowfully. "I won't cry," she told herself to no avail. She broke down and sobbed.
************************************************************************
When her family returned later that day from various places they found Wyn's room completely locked with what felt to Howl's trained senses like every fiber in Wyn was keeping them out. "Wyn, come on, let us in!" Morgan shouted.
"NO!" came the booming retort.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Sophie asked quietly.
"Nothing! Go away!"
"Wyn, please let us in!" Howl said begging slightly.
There was no reply to that just a flash of white light and suddenly a large piece of paper written by Wyn appeared on the door.
It read:
'LEAVE ME ALONE! Aidan's gone! Kamania (here a large tear drop smudged the next word) him and his father! Now you know, let me live my next few hours by myself in peace!!! I need to think!!!!!'
"Kamania kidnapped your boyfriend?!" Morgan asked loudly.
"DUH, STUPID!!!" came the cold answer, "I need to plan in silence!!! NOW GO AWAY!!!"
Morgan shrugged at that. "She must be feeling better already if she's insulting me," he noted.
