His scream filled me ears. I jumped slightly. I turned and looked at the boy on the ground. His eyes were watering from the pain. I smirked.

"Never touch my blade," I whispered to him. The crowd parted for me. I turned and motioned for the others to follow me. I looked at the crowd and saw my father and Uncle Arch's faces. They were trying to keep from laughing.

"How did you do that?" Lee asked me. I shrugged. The White Tigers face vaulted. I stifled a laugh. Judy looked at my blade.

"That isn't your normal blade," she stated.

"I know. It's called Lupis," I explained. The crowd that had surrounded us backed up a bit.

"Aileen!" a young voice screamed. I paled and ran in the hotel. I ran to the desk and grabbed a key the deskman gave me. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Emily!" I heard Judy yell. I looked back. Big mistake. I saw the two girls running with them. My body went into natural instincts mode. I ran fast and hard. My breathing was labored. I winced as I ran up the stairs.

"Leave me be! Haven't I suffered enough without you two bothering me!" I yelled. The two girls stopped running and stared at me. I stopped and turned around. "Leave the past in the past where it belongs." The two girls stared at me. I noticed how much they had changed.

-Flashback-

"Give me my sister's blade!" a young girl yelled. I winced. She was my best friend. Now all she wanted was Lupis. I couldn't give it to her.

"I can't," I whispered and looked away. She tried to grab me. Luna and Feronia leapt out of the blade to protect me. My friend and her new friend backed away.

"You don't deserve them," the new girl whispered. I ran home and cried all night long.

-End Flashback-

They both stared at me. The one who told me I didn't deserve the Lupis blade sneered.

"Give us Lupis," she hissed.

"I cannot. I told you before that the blade couldn't be used by you. The past master must choose you," I told them calmly. They both growled and lunged at me. I smirked and jumped over their heads. They fell on their faces. I growled.

"Give me the blade," my old friend hissed.

"I cannot," I repeated. Lupis began to glow. The bit beast Lupa leapt out at them. I watched as the black wolf cornered them.

*Don't, Lupa. They aren't worth it.* I told her. She growled and very reluctantly returned to her blade.

"Go!" I yelled. The two girls ran away quickly.

"What the hell?" Michael whispered. I began to laugh.

"Are you okay, Aileen?" a familiar voice called to me. I looked over the heads of everyone (not an easy task) and saw my father.

"I'm fine, dad!" I yelled to him. Everyone looked from him to me. "Adoption."

"At least your safe. Sorry we couldn't keep them away," he stated. My father smiled, causing his mustache to move.

"Mister Qwilleran," Judy stated and smiled. I smiled at them both. They were the only ones who knew my secret. Well, now everyone would know. They would know I am the one who controls the Bit of Power.
