Meikaida: Glad you liked that scene. o_0 *Nervous laugh* uhm, its not pronounce like Chance? See this is why I failed French! Lets just say its pronounce like chance but still means luck. I set one of the scenes to music, I hope you've heard of the song. Think . . . Titan A.E . . .
TwinElf: The scene between Chance and the Twins doesn't really play a part in the story, just saying that basically they are in a relationship. Yeah, all three of them . . . Thanks but how was it out of beat? I don't get it. Thanx for reviewing ^_^
Tashilover: I'm so happy you like the wings. Your review is making me laugh, lol. Sorry I messed with your head, can you forgive me? ^_^
Priestess of Anubis: Yay! You heard it! Thanx for reviewing.
LadyTiger06: Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Crystal-Nimrodel: Thankyou for the comments on Chance, happy to hear that you like it. I got the Twins right aswell? Wow, that's a first. Yessums, the Twins and Chance are slightly more than just friends or co-workers. *Goes to read 'Me and I'*
Triality: Seraph? That's good, he's all calm and randomly funny. I usually feel like Morpheus, I'm calm and collected, but then I feel like One and Two and I just want to kill something/someone . . . where was I? *My* cookie baking powers? Nonono, you have it all wrong. The Oracle is safely locked up in my cupboard. The cookies are nut free. Eew, nuts. Ew. o_0 Agent dressed as Christmas tree? ARGH! SMITH WEARING GREEN! *Dies*

Heather David: Wowy! Thankyou so much ^_^ I think you made my day. Here's the next chapter for you.
So, such is my life that in my spare time I write crappy stories about Mary- Sues. It's either that or homework and I think I prefer writing about the Twins.
*Thinks* What has happened lately . . . well, Zoe, if your reading this then you'll be happy to know that I've turned into a Goth, though not quite as crazy as you. I found my mum's eye pencily thingy and I had black triangles under my eyes and black lips. All very fun, that mixed with my trench coat, buckled boots, spiky jewellery and general black clothes made my friends more scared of me than all of the Santa Claus impressionists in England.
Well, that's it from me, I can't think of anything else. Be good and don't kill anyone unnecessarily!
Read on and enjoy . . .
Chapter 4
I had lunch with Chance and the Twins, it was pretty uneventful, seeing as everything was burnt though, I didn't eat much.
Even the Jelly.
After we had 'eaten' Chance walked me to a door in the Chateau, it looked like it led to outside. We all walked through and found ourselves in the huge garden, it had a large fountain in the middle and was covered in grass. There was a large tree on the right side and there was a drop, because the chateau was in the mountains, at the end of the garden.
The whole garden was pretty big and showed off just how much money the Mero had. If I thought that the chateau was pretty, I thought that the garden was beautiful.
Chance showed me to the edge of the garden and we both looked over the edge, the Twins sat on the edge of the fountain in silence.
"Were quite high up, Amanda, if you fell off of the edge, you wouldn't come back. Unless of course I catch you, see, I can fly, just like we are going to teach you today." Chance said dangerously. I could tell that she was being totally serious and the idea of flying turned my stomach.
Chance got her wings out; they burst out of her white trench coat and folded neatly around her back, huge and magnificent.
I once again looked up in wonder at Chance. Chance looked down on me. I didn't have the special ability to pull my wings back into my body, something which meant I could never be seen in public again.
"Flap your wings a little." Chance said with a smile. "It's not hard to learn."
I flapped my wings and I could feel the air around me changing and forming into a breeze. The stray leaves around me were getting blown away and I could also feel my feet raising off of the ground gently.
"That's good, you can stop now Amanda." Chance said happily.
I stopped flapping my wings and landed back down on the ground. I looked back at the Twins and saw that they were smiling a little.
"Now you have to try getting clear off of the ground. Go stand on the fountain so I can see that you are actually lifting off." Chance said and pointed to where the Twins were sitting.
I looked over at them and they stayed smiling. I walked slowly over to them and got up onto the fountain ledge. I flapped my wings as I had before and glanced down at the Twins, they looked relatively impressed and their dreadlocks were flying across their faces.
I could feel my feet leaving the ground again and I looked up at Chance who was smiling broadly.
"Now try gliding down to me." She said loudly so I could hear her. I was worried about attempting to fly but I trusted in her judgement.
I leaned forward slightly and felt my feet leave the ground completely. I went a few metres before something went wrong and I fell forward and rolled, landing in a sitting position in front of Chance.
She offered me a hand and I gratefully took it. I heard the Twins snickering behind me as I stood up. "Try again, get back onto the edge of the fountain and glide down to me." She said reassuringly.
I felt so much like a baby, taking my first steps to its parents.
I walked over to the fountain again and stood up on the edge, the Twins smirked as I wobbled slightly. I spread my wings, feeling the strong breeze of the mountains on them suddenly.
I looked down and realised that my feet were two feet off of the ground. I leaned forward slightly and glided towards Chance. Because I was that much more off of the ground I landed neatly next to her in a crouch. I stood up gracefully and did a little victory smile at the Twins.
They didn't look so happy after that.
I looked up at Chance and she was positively glowing with happiness. "Congratulations, you just flew." She said and directed me to the edge of the cliff.
"Now, birds flap their wings in a circular motion, like rotating your arms." She lifted up my arms and I obliged. I drew a circle with my arm. "Now, you've got to remember, when you catch an air current, don't flap your wings. Use the air current or you might just tire yourself out. If it's going in the opposite direction of you then go under it.
"Now, because you don't have tail feathers you have to use your legs. When you want to change direction or altitude. You'll figure it out as soon as you get going. If you want to dive then bring your wings in towards you and the air will stop catching on them. Try not to hit the ground though.
"Well, I think that's about all I know. The rest is up to you." Chance finished and looked at me. She stretched her wings out as wide as they would go and rocked back a bit because of how strong the wind was.
Chance stood there for about thirty seconds, feeling the wind in her face and breathing in the fresh mountain air. She walked very slowly up to the edge and looked down. She turned to the Twins and blew a kiss to them.
All of a sudden she stepped off of the edge. I couldn't see her. I ran to the rim of the cliff and looked down. Chance flew in a bowl shape when she left the cliff, caught the wind and flew up; she was so high up.
She flew close to me and shouted out. "Now it's your turn Amanda, you can do it, you were created to fly!"
I stepped up to the edge. I looked down but I couldn't see the ground. So this is what they meant when they said 'sheer drop'.
I stretched my wings out and instead of stepping off I fell forward.
~*~
The Twins ran to the edge of the cliff when they saw Amanda fall off. They looked down but she was still falling. Chance had seen her go and was diving for her, she had tucked her wings in so they wouldn't catch the wind and was gaining great speed.
~*~
Falling.
One of the best sensations in the world.
I felt weightless, I was free, and I could do anything.
I had all of these wonderful feelings . . .
. . . Until I saw the ground.
I was swallowed up in panic and quickly opened my wings as far as they would go. They caught nastily on the wind and I lost a few feathers.
I swooped down and close to the ground. Well, close enough anyway. I was about two hundred feet up.
I flew straight up; it was like nothing I had ever felt before. I was out of danger and all of the beautiful feelings came back to me. I was as free as . . . as bird.
I heard a flap of wings around me and looked down. Chance was circling me.
"Amanda! Don't ever do that again!" she shouted.
"I'm sorry, I just got lost!" I shouted back.
Chance shook her head at what I had just told her. I bet she understood. She probably did the same thing as me when she first flew.
"Go on, go practice! I'll be back on the ground with the Twins!" Chance shouted back.
"Okay!" I answered. I looked behind me and saw her turn away. I looked ahead of me and saw nothing but sky.
Suddenly I remembered a song, it fit perfectly with this moment so I started singing it.
"It's my turn to fly, I'm proving ground tonight, try to be the best that I can, grown to be a woman, Only human can understand, I fill my lungs with fear and I exhale!"
I changed some of the lyrics so they fit with what I was doing.
"It's my turn to fly, father be with me tonight, I'm right on target, It's my turn, to fly gotta' prove this tonight . . ."
I felt the air beneath my wings and I loved it.
As soon as I had thought I had mastered the flying part of me I landed down on the ground, right next to the fountain. Of course, one of the key things to being able to fly is being able to land and Chance had seemed to have forgotten how to tell me how to do that.
I rolled a few metres before I stopped, in a sitting position, and looked up at the fountain. The water glistened in the sun. Chance and the Twins were walking over to me from where they had been standing. Next to the tree.
"That was excellent Amanda, well done. We need to celebrate." Chance said happily. She was positively glowing.
"Uhm, okay, if you insist." I said, though I sounded nervous I was actually really happy. I missed having my mum cook for me, all Chance and the Twins did was imitate cooking and then eat whatever they came up with.
Not always good.
We all had something that was easy to make. Banana splits.
I was enjoying myself so much, life here in the Chateau didn't seem that bad, but I still had a yearning o be free, and to see my best friend again.
Little did I know what was going on behind our backs.
~*~
Vlad paced the attic, thinking up ways of destroying the Twins and Chance. He couldn't think, there was no way he could defeat them if they were together. He would have to split them up.
If he gained friends, join the other Vampires together. Cain and Abel he knew of, they would help. And he could get some of the werewolves/Doberman to help. They were stupid enough, they would follow orders.
But how would he take the two albinos down? Maybe if he took their phasing powers away he could do it, but then, the Merovingian had their code on his lap-top, and he always took it with him on business trips, didn't he?
Vlad left the attic, heading for the Mero's study.
Once there he looked in the wardrobes, in the desk, behind the curtains. Nothing!
Then he chose to look behind a picture. He slid it aside and found a safe. He used his acute hearing to open it and looked inside.
There it was, the laptop.
With the laptop, he could destroy Chance and the Twins.
But he didn't want to destroy them; he wanted to hurt them, badly. He wanted to make them scream.
He wanted to torture them.
He would have to gather allies to help, programmes that hated the Twins and Chance as much as he did.
And all it would take, is time . . .
~*~
The Merovingian sat at his expensive desk that the people he was working with had supplied. It looked expensive enough.
He looked through his bags again and realised with slight panic that he had accidentally left his laptop at the Chateau.
"Oh well, what could happen? I'm sure that just this one time I leave it behind wont do any harm." He muttered under his breath. He went back to sorting through his paper work and made a mental note to ask to borrow a laptop.
~*~
Persephone lay on her bad painting her nails. She was bored and had nothing to do. She was glad that Amanda trusted Chance, it would be a little while before she trusted the Twins.
What she couldn't understand was why Amanda had taken a shine to Chance so quickly. Well, that didn't matter now, Chance would teach Amanda everything she needed to know, and some.
And hopefully she would warn her about a certain piece of chocolate cake . . .
~*~
Cain and Abel sat in the small study, guarding the entrance to the Chateau's enormous dungeons. They were watching the same old movie again.
Dracula.
Vlad walked into the room and looked them straight in the eye. They may have all been Vampires, but they were even as close to sadistic as Vlad was. He scared them and he knew it.
"Bored?" Vlad asked in an icy voice.
"You could say that." Cain answered, sitting up straight in his chair. It looked like Vlad was holding something behind his back.
"I know how much you hate those 'Twins' and Chance, would you like to play a little game?" Vlad said in the coldest voice possible.
"We hate them, yeah, but what are you talking about?" Abel asked as he too straightened up in his chair.
"Revenge." Vlad said quickly and moved around so he was in front of them, blocking the TV.
"You want to take down . . . the Twins?" Cain asked, he sounded genuinely amazed.
"That's not possible." Abel added. "You'd need to be able to stop them from phasing."
"Exactly!" Vlad said and brought the laptop out from behind his back, making sure the other Vampires could see it clearly.
Cain and Abel smiled evilly and got up to follow Vlad who was heading towards where the werewolves stayed . . .
~*~
I looked around Chances room; it was black and white, just like my room but different colours. Thing was, it was right next to the Twins room.
I made a mental note of this and continued to look around.
"Why is there a baseball bat hanging from the wall?" I asked.
"That's what Kit used to knock out Abel when he wouldn't let her out of her room, we keep it handy." Two answered. He was sat next to One and Chance was on the bed, looking bored.
"Your room lacks entertainment." I said dully. I looked around again and spotted something I hadn't noticed before.
There was a photo inside a frame next to the bed, in the photo was a picture of Amy, well, Kit, as she is now called. She was wearing red and executing a perfect high-kick.
I pointed to it and looked at Chance. "Why have you got that?" I asked curiously.
Chance sighed and looked at it. "I have that because I miss her, we are linked in a kind of way, I don't know how. It's like she put a little bit of her into me." Chance explained.
"Linked?" I asked. I was curious and suddenly very grateful that I wasn't a cat.
"Linked, like if I cut myself on my finger, then blood would appear on hers, and visa versa. We feel the same things at the same time too. It's really nothing to worry about, we just ignore it as best we can." Chance tried to get me to understand.
"What if the Mero saw this picture, what would he do?" I asked.
"He's not allowed into this room and even if he found the picture, actually, I haven't got a back up plan." Chance looked thoughtful for a second. "I guess he would just delete me." she said, unafraid.
"Oh, that's bad." I said as I thought about consequences. I didn't want to talk anymore. "Can we go sit somewhere else?" I asked.
~*~
Vlad opened up the laptop and clicked a few buttons; Cain, Abel and a few other allies were standing behind him and watching.
He clicked on a few buttons and opened a few files. Finally finding the one he wanted.
"Perfect, now all we need is a distraction . . . Cain, Abel, go and find the Twins. Revenge is at hand . . ."
~*~
Okay, I have to go to bed now, I'm amazingly tired and my vision is fogging up, which is always scary . . .
Jeez, look at what day it is. Saturday, right? Wrong. As I type this it is indeed Thursday, wow, I love being evil. Well, seeya people.
P.s, If you review then I get to torture Chance and the Twins. Mweheheeheee . . .

Once there he looked in the wardrobes, in the desk, behind the curtains. Nothing!
Then he chose to look behind a picture. He slid it aside and found a safe. He used his acute hearing to open it and looked inside.
There it was, the laptop.
With the laptop, he could destroy Chance and the Twins.
But he didn't want to destroy them; he wanted to hurt them, badly. He wanted to make them scream.
He wanted to torture them.
He would have to gather allies to help, programmes that hated the Twins and Chance as much as he did.
And all it would take, is time . . .

The Merovingian sat at his expensive desk that the people he was working with had supplied. It looked expensive enough.
He looked through his bags again and realised with slight panic that he had accidentally left his laptop at the Chateau.
"Oh well, what could happen? I'm sure that just this one time I leave it behind wont do any harm." He muttered under his breath. He went back to sorting through his paper work and made a mental note to ask to borrow a laptop.

Persephone lay on her bad painting her nails. She was bored and had nothing to do. She was glad that Amanda trusted Chance, it would be a little while before she trusted the Twins.
What she couldn't understand was why Amanda had taken a shine to Chance so quickly. Well, that didn't matter now, Chance would teach Amanda everything she needed to know, and some.
And hopefully she would warn her about a certain piece of chocolate cake . . .

Cain and Abel sat in the small study, guarding the entrance to the Chateau's enormous dungeons. They were watching the same old movie again.
Dracula.
Vlad walked into the room and looked them straight in the eye. They may have all been Vampires, but they were even as close to sadistic as Vlad was. He scared them and he knew it.
"Bored?" Vlad asked in an icy voice.
"You could say that." Cain answered, sitting up straight in his chair. It looked like Vlad was holding something behind his back.
"I know how much you hate those 'Twins' and Chance, would you like to play a little game?" Vlad said in the coldest voice possible.
"We hate them, yeah, but what are you talking about?" Abel asked as he too straightened up in his chair.
"Revenge." Vlad said quickly and moved around so he was in front of them, blocking the TV.
"You want to take down . . . the Twins?" Cain asked, he sounded genuinely amazed.
"That's not possible." Abel added. "You'd need to be able to stop them from phasing."
"Exactly!" Vlad said and brought the laptop out from behind his back, making sure the other Vampires could see it clearly.
Cain and Abel smiled evilly and got up to follow Vlad who was heading towards where the werewolves stayed . . .

I looked around Chances room; it was black and white, just like my room but different colours. Thing was, it was right next to the Twins room.
I made a mental note of this and continued to look around.
"Why is there a baseball bat hanging from the wall?" I asked.
"That's what Kit used to knock out Abel when he wouldn't let her out of her room, we keep it handy." Two answered. He was sat next to One and Chance was on the bed, looking bored.
"Your room lacks entertainment." I said dully. I looked around again and spotted something I hadn't noticed before.
There was a photo inside a frame next to the bed, in the photo was a picture of Amy, well, Kit, as she is now called. She was wearing red and executing a perfect high-kick.
I pointed to it and looked at Chance. "Why have you got that?" I asked curiously.
Chance sighed and looked at it. "I have that because I miss her, we are linked in a kind of way, I don't know how. It's like she put a little bit of her into me." Chance explained.
"Linked?" I asked. I was curious and suddenly very grateful that I wasn't a cat.
"Linked, like if I cut myself on my finger, then blood would appear on hers, and visa versa. We feel the same things at the same time too. It's really nothing to worry about, we just ignore it as best we can." Chance tried to get me to understand.
"What if the Mero saw this picture, what would he do?" I asked.
"He's not allowed into this room and even if he found the picture, actually, I haven't got a back up plan." Chance looked thoughtful for a second. "I guess he would just delete me." she said, unafraid.
"Oh, that's bad." I said as I thought about consequences. I didn't want to talk anymore. "Can we go sit somewhere else?" I asked.

Vlad opened up the laptop and clicked a few buttons; Cain, Abel and a few other allies were standing behind him and watching.
He clicked on a few buttons and opened a few files. Finally finding the one he wanted.
"Perfect, now all we need is a distraction . . . Cain, Abel, go and find the Twins. Revenge is at hand . . ."

Okay, I have to go to bed now, I'm amazingly tired and my vision is fogging up, which is always scary . . .
Jeez, look at what day it is. Saturday, right? Wrong. As I type this it is indeed Thursday, wow, I love being evil. Well, seeya people.
P.s, If you review then I get to torture Chance and the Twins. Mweheheeheee . . .
