Tadah, I'm back! And I hope this chapter is what you have waited for!!!

Irish, thanks for reviewing! Spot and Night getting together.*thinks for a moment* I never thought about this possibility.. ;p Well, just wait and see.

Okay, I thought for some time if I should write the whole 'they see each other again and talk about everything that had happened so fast'-stuff or if I just start with the real action. I decided for the second possibility. :D Hope you like my decision.

Nightshade was looking at the cards in her hand. Four kings and one queen. She had already won. There was just one little problem: She hadn't any more on money. But she couldn't give up just now! "Hazard, come over here for a sec." Hazard walked over to her friend and looked asking at her. "Lend me some money?" Hazard raised her eyebrows and blinked some times to make it obvious that she didn't like to give Nightshade Money which she could - or would - loose. Nightshade sighed and showed Hazard her cards. "Ohhhh. Here, that's all I got. And I get it back, kay?!" Nightshade nodded only and put the money in the middle of the table. She looked around to look at the other players which were Steel, Race and Spot. They all raised again and Hazard raised her eyebrows at Nightshade. She bent over and rest her head on her shoulder. "So, what are you gonna do now?" She whispered. Nightshade bit her lip and looked at her cards and on the money on the table. Looking once again on her cards she decided that there was really no way that she could loose this game. "So, how are you gonna raise this time? Without any money?" Steel grinned at her. Nightshade took a deep breath before she answered. "I raise you by myself." Hazard's eyes widened while the guys raised there eyebrows. "What shall this mean?"

"Myself. Twenty-four hours. That shall it mean!" "Sounds very interesting." Steel grinned evilly at her. "Then lets see." Race put his cards down first, to show nothing good but a pair of tens. Steel put down two Queens and three Jokers. "Well, looks like I won an interesting day, hu?" "Dream on." Was Nightshade's only reply. She put her cards visibly on the table and grinned while she reached for the money in the middle. But while she did so she froze slowly. Just as slowly as Spot put his cards down. One queen and then four Aces after another. Hazard bit her lips to stop herself from grinning while Nightshade's eyes widened and she swallowed hard when she looked up at Spot. "That's.that's impossible." She stuttered. "You won't take your stake back now?! And since you're out of money." With this he took her wrist and pulled her on his lap without resistance from her side. Right now, she was still way too shocked. "Hey Jacky-boy, wanna play with us? I guess I have a lucky streak right now." Jack walked over to the table and sat down on Nightshade's former seat. "Oh, I see you got yourself a lucky charm?" Nightshade glared at him like she wanted to kill him and he didn't say anything about it anymore. Steel shuffled the cards and dealt them. After a few minutes Jack wanted to quit, knowing that he hadn't anything good on his hands. But just when he was about to put his cards down Hazard made a sound behind him that made it obvious that she would play on. He looked confused up at her. "I wouldn't stop now." "Did you tell her to play on?" Jack pointed at Nightshade and raised his eyebrows, what brought him another glare from her. "She was second!" Hazard simply said and shrugged. Jack thought for a moment and played on. For some odd reason the other three quit and Jack had won. With really NOTHING on his hands. "I told you!" Hazard smiled and walked over to Fury and Witch. "I don't know, I'm really tired right now. I'm going to bed now." Spot arose and led Nightshade upstairs.



Okay, originally I wanted to write more but my mum is sitting on my couch and thinks this is the right time for a mother-daughter-talk (at 10:20 p.m.!!!) Sorry, but be sure that I now what'll happen that night!!!! :D I'm trying to write it tomorrow after school. Since I got home real early tomorrow I guess I'll have enough time! So, I hope you liked that chapter. Tell me what you think of it.
