"Calli! Your little sister is home!" Tea took off her shoes and looked around the room. The next thing she knew was being tackled by someone. "AH!" she screamed as she hit the floor. "I can't believe it! You're alive! You're alive!!!" her sister hugged her tighter and started to cry. "I'd thought I had lost you and mom. I was so worried!" Calli helped Tea stand. They started to walk into the kitchen when Tea realized Teana standing in the living. "Hey, Teana. Come in with us and get a bite of something good to eat." Teana looked at her and then suddenly collapsed. "TEANA!" Calli ran over to her and checked her pulse, "She's alright. She just fainted. Help me put her on the couch." Tea helped Calli put Teana on the couch and made some tea. They sat down in the living room and went into their own thoughts. "But, why would this happen? She's hasn't been doing anything except yelling at me for the last few hours. How could this have happened?" Tea said breaking the silence. Calli looked at the floor, thinking of an explanation, "The only thing I can think of is someone has tampered with the past." Tea looked at her sister as she continued, "A special power is given to the followers of great trust. They are able to travel in time and disrupt the balance of enemies. They could return to the past and destroy them as children or their parents before they were born. I think they have gone into the past to try and destroy Teana. I wouldn't know why though."

Tea looked at the floor. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? Then a thought came to her, "But, how many people know of Teana as another spirit? They only person beside Yugi and you and everyone else might be Vicky. We met-" Calli cut her off with a deadly look, "You met Vicky already? Stay away from her. Every time I'm near her I feel a strange force surrounding her." Tea looked at her sister. Ever since she was freed from the dark forces, she had the ability to sense darker energies inside people. "You mean, like a follower?" Calli nodded, "A very powerful follower. One that might have the ability to time travel. But, I never heard of her when I was one." Tea looked at Teana before heading up to bed. If Teana needed to get back into the amulet, she would do that on her own. She never ventured outside without Tea anyway.

Tea slowly climbed into bed and shut her eyes. 'My life. Now I have two things to worry about. One is Yugi, the other is Teana and time traveling demons. Great Tea, now all you need is for Yugi to propose to Vicky.' She slowly shut her eyes and fell into a dream.

~*Dream*~

She was walking around a dark room. She felt cold and alone. "Teana! Yugi! Anybody!" she called out. A wind blew around her making her shiver. "So, you've finally come have you. Well, it's about time. I was ready to kill them off myself." Tea turned to see who it was and saw all her friends floating in crystal-like glass containers. Mai, Joey, Yugi, Yami, Tristan, Serenity, and Teana all seemed to be asleep. "Let them go! I'm the one you want! Take me instead!" Tea ran over to the container that held Yugi. He just sat there, motionless, lifeless. Tears fell from her eyes. She pounded on the glass to break it but it wouldn't work. She fell to her knees and cried. "So they proud unbeatable guardian finally falls! Fine, I'll spare their lives if you give me your life force!" Tea stood and looked out into the darkness, "Fine. Take my life force, take all my powers! But you must let them go! They have no reason to be in this"

~*End Dream*~

She woke up with a sudden bolt. She was sweating like crazy and breathing heavily. 'What a strange dream. Why did I have that? What did the person call me? A guardian? I'm not a guardian.' She jumped out of bed and went down stairs to see if Teana was there. She looked around the living room. Nothing. The blanket wasn't even there. She checked everywhere in the house, but Teana wasn't there. She was bout to check the soul room when she noticed her amulet was missing. "What?! Where is it? How could it just disappear?" She ran around the house twice before bumping into Calli. "Hey sis. What's the hurry?" Tea grabbed her sister's shoulders, "Teana is gone and the amulet is missing! I had it on before I went to bed last night!" Calli led her to the kitchen and set her down. "Don't you remember what I told you last night?" Tea looked down, "Yes, the followers that could travel in time. But, did they kill her? Wait, if I don't have the amulet, then I'm vulnerable to the followers!" Calli shook her head, "You would have been but it's not that easy. You have another special power inside you. I know because when I tried to kill you, it wouldn't let me. And, it freed me from my chains to the darkness. Tea, you have the powers of the mystical guardian." Tea could have fainted right then and there. She choked trying to say something. "But why didn't mom ever tell me? I mean, I've never had these powers before." Calli started to cook something on the stove, "Yes, I know. Mom never told you because she never knew." Tea sat in silence. 'Then, was that dream a warning or a vision?'

"I know of a way to bring out the sleeping power inside of you." Calli said, finally breaking the silence. Tea came out of her thoughts, "Well, I don't know if I want to bring it out. Won't it attract the followers?" Calli thought of it for a minute, "Um, yeah. But you could learn to hide it. Then you only call on it when you need to." Tea sighed; she was more worried about Teana right now, "Ok. I'm going to go for a little walk first. See ya later." Tea ran out the door and turned down the street. She walked towards Yugi's house. She entered the shop and looked around. "Yugi? Are you here?" she yelled. His grandpa came to the front desk, "Yugi has been gone since last night. And frankly, I'm starting to get worried. Last night he was in his room doing something and then I heard a loud bang. I went up to check on him and he was gone." Tea gasped. "Have you heard from Joey or Mai or anyone else?" Yugi's grandpa shook his head. Tea turned and ran out of the shop. She ran to everyone's house, but no one was there. She slowly walked away from Tristan's house. 'They're all gone. They're really gone!' She ran, trying to get home as fast as possible. All of a sudden she tripped over something and hit the ground hard.

"Well, well if it isn't miss runaway herself. How have you been since the last time I saw you?" Tea looked up to see those stone cold eyes staring down at her. Tea stood up and looked Vicky straight in the eyes, "What have you done to them? Tell me right now!" Vicky snickered, "What? I didn't do anything." Tea's eyes started to tear up, "Tell me now Vicky! What have you done with my friends!?" Vicky turned around and looked at Tea over her shoulder, "Oh, them. Well, let's just say they wished they had never met you!" Tea took a step back, her face full of shock and horror. Vicky turned to face her again, "So I granted them their wish. I simply went back in time moved them to a better place before they met you." Tea was ready to punch that smirk off her face, "So, you are a follower. Should've known, the way you always have that twisted look on your face has turned you into an ugly beast!" Tea simply turned and walked away. She knew she had hit the right cord with that sentence. "You listen to me guardian, if you don't find them soon; I will be forced to kill them!" Tea turned around but Vicky had already left. 'No! She's going to kill them!' She ran back to her house as fast as she could. When Tea ran through the door, she heard a large crash.

Tea was standing over her sister. She had fainted and was starting to disappear. "Calli.." Tea knew she could do nothing to stop this. She fell next to her sister's disappearing body. "Tea, you are the mystical guardian. You have the power to save everyone. The dark forces are starting to take over the world. You have to stop them." Calli closed her eyes and then she was gone. 'But why is she killing all my friends and not hitting me directly?' She walked downstairs and sat on the couch. She noticed Calli's things started to disappear. Tea closed her eyes and concentrated. She suddenly knew what she had to do to save her friends.
