Chapter Three - what can I say? Everyone except for Tori go to Eli's house,
Aurora catches on to them and Taina goes after them. Probably not very
exciting, but I had to write something.

At 5:45 p.m., well after school, Sakura, Li, Eli, Madison, Julian, Tori and Ruby all walked back to Sakura's place to find Kero and the Sakura Book. Tori stayed home - he knew his sister needed cover.
"I'll tell dad that you've gone to sleep over at Eli's, okay", Tori said.
Sakura nodded and then hugged her brother. Tori looked at Julian as if to say 'protect her'. Julian nodded and he, Kero and Ruby transformed. The group had previously decided to go over to Eli's house to analyse the situation with Aurora. Sakura used her Fly card to grow a pair of wings, Li held on to Yue and Madison and Eli held onto Ruby Moon.
"Take care, squirt!" Tori called up to Sakura, who was hovering in the air near Yue and Kero.
Sakura's cheeks went red from madness.
"Will you STOP CALLING ME SQUIRT!!" Sakura shouted while waving her arms and legs frantically.
Yue grabbed Sakura's arm, pulled her towards him and kissed her. Li looked away, embarrassed. Yue pulled back a little so he could see her face and Sakura opened her eyes to look into his silvery cat-like eyes.
"I guess I was a bit loud?" she asked quietly.
The white winged angel looked at her as if to say 'you have no idea'. She blushed as they began to fly towards Eli's house. Just as they went out of sight, Aiden came out the front door.
"Was that Sakura I just heard shouting?" he asked.
"Yep. She's gone with friends to Eli's house, for a sleep over".
"Oh, okay then", he said, wiping his hands on a towel, "Well, seeing it's just you and me, we'll have pizza".
"Great", Tori smiled.
Aurora opened her eyes and stood up from a red-velvet lounge chair and approached a large arched window. Arkilleos, who was perched up on the back of the chair, opened one eye and looked at Aurora.
"Problem?" he asked, stretching his wings.
"Not really. Did I wake you?" Aurora answered without turning around.
"No .", Arkilleos paused, "They're on the move, aren't they? Sakura and her group".
"Yes, heading northwest - to my father's home".
"They're on to us", came Taina's voice, "I'm going to follow them".
Taina breezed back out the door before Aurora could stop her. The tall blonde jogged down a long staircase to the front door, which she pushed open just as a pair of gold and silver wings encircled her body.
A slender, shoe-less foot emerged from the encircled wings and stepped out of the doorway to the front porch. As she stepped, lightning sparks spiralled up her leg and the wings spread apart, revealing an angelic figure with wavy golden hair down to her waist, a white strapless dress with a split up the left leg to her hip and a single diamond anklet around her left ankle. Two large gold hoops, fifteen centimetres in diameter, were around both wrists. He lips had a coating of clear lip-gloss.
Even though there was no breeze, her wings, dress and hair floated around. Aurora watched from her window as Taina, now Silver's Star, spread her wings and floated into the air. It was now getting dark but Aurora had no trouble watching Silver's Star fly off because of the moon and star's rays.
"Show Pony", Aurora thought, "Flurry of hair and wings, thinks she's wonderful".
The seven friends were half way to Eli's house, when Yue stopped and looked around him.
"What's wrong, Yue?" Sakura asked.
He narrowed his eyes as he scanned the area. All the others had stopped too, and were waiting for Yue's response. He felt as thought someone was following them - he could hear the beating and whistling of large wings in the air. Suddenly, the sound ceased.
" . no. It's nothing", Yue answered slowly, "Let us go".
They hadn't gone two minutes when Yue whisked around and let a barrage of icicles go at something.
"What are you doing, Yue?" Sakura asked, shocked.
He watched steadily towards where he fired and he just managed to see a glimmer of gold and silver, hovering in the air.
"Take Li", he told Sakura, "I am going to check this out".
With a swipe of his great wings, Yue shot forward at his target.
"What's up with him?" Li asked.
Yue was a few metres from his target, when it dived back and downwards, arms and wings out stretched. He followed (now realising it was female) the girl down into a cluster of trees. He was unfortunate to have lost her as soon as he cleared the tops of the trees. He growled in frustration, but he decided to return to the others and continue on towards Eli's house.
