Raven was striding back to the house behind Gabrielle when the younger girl
stopped so suddenly that her sister nearly bumped into her.
"Whoa, what was that about?" she said before she sensed it herself.
"Myst." They said in unison and started running together.
As she ran, Raven was so intent on getting to her sister that she didn't notice Duo until she bowled him over and heard his soft grunt of pain.
"Duo! I'm so sorry!" She helped him to his feet then turned and began running again.
"Wait!" He called running after them, "Where are you going?"
"To save Myst!" Both girls called together and kept running.
When they got to the house Duo started to slow down, but realized that neither sister had slowed. He was about to warn them about running into the door when Raven pulled a long thin piece of wood from her pocket and pointed it at the door.
"Open Dammit!" She yelled and whipped the stick in a sideways motion.
Confused, Duo watched as the door blasted open and the girls ran inside. He stood outside, staring at the door in shock, until Gabrielle's frantic voice snapped him back to reality.
"Myst? Myst! Myst where are you? This isn't funny dammit! Where'd you go!?!" Gabrielle ran into each room slamming doors open and closed until Raven put a hand on her shoulder. Looking at her older sister Gabrielle nodded and they both sat on the floor.
"What are you doing?" Duo asked utterly confused. Both girls jumped. They had forgotten he was there. "You have a missing sister, you panic and then just calmly sit down? And on the floor at that? What is going on her~ Uh Raven...why are you glowing?"
Gabrielle sighed and looked at Raven who managed to look unfocused and slightly sheepish at the same time. Turning back to Duo she shifted her feet and took a deep breath.
"Duo, um, there's something about us you should know.We,~ if Myst didn't need us all so bad, I wouldn't be saying this. No don't get me wrong I don't usually keep secrets." She assured him quickly when he open his mouth to speak, "It's just that this is something, well.something we don't want a lot of people to find out. We're well, we're."
"We're Wiccans, Duo," Raven said coming back to earth, "Basically witches. We do not worship Satan or anything like that. Oh we don't have time for this!" Duo jumped when Raven finally lost patience and snapped out, "I can sense something wrong about Myst. We have to find her now! Gabrielle grab the herbs and lets get working!"
Gabrielle also jumped and grabbed some herbs from their cupboard. Sitting back down facing each other, both girls closed their eyes and began to chant. An image began to form in the space between them. Duo watched in awe as the image began to grow until it was larger than a movie screen. As the image became clearer, he could tell that it was Myst. She seemed alright. She was talking to a tall man and looking at a piece of paper on a table. Raven's voice picked up a pace and Duo was able to partially make out what they were saying.
Thank you Kagame." Myst smiled at the tall man. "I'm finally going to be able to find our parents. I just.I just hope they can forgive me." A tear slipped down her cheek. Kagame stepped closer and brushed it away.
"Shh.." He said soothingly then turned her face to look at him."You didn't kill them. Just next time be more careful with your spells." He smiled, and Duo instantly didn't trust him.
"Why that little," Gabrielle snarled, "Myst's spell didn't even touch them! Oh I could just~"
"Gabrielle calm down." Raven said softly. "I want to hear the rest to find out if this guy is friend or foe."
All three turned back to the image.
Myst had calmed down and Kagame was explaining something about controlling emotions. He placed a hand on her forehead.
"May I?" He asked calmly and Myst nodded her head.
Chanting something, Kagame's hand began to glow. When the glow faded, he removed his hand and looked at her.
"That better now?"
"Yes thank you." She looked around suddenly. "I think my sisters are calling me."
Kagame suddenly looked their direction and narrowed his eyes. Myst had turned to look the same way when the image on the wall faltered, then blinked out.
"Raven, why'd you break the spell?" Gabrielle looked confused.
"I, I didn't." Raven looked just as confused. " It felt like.to tell you the truth it felt like Myst did.
None of the three occupants in the room notice the wall flicker then show a glimpse of Myst's eyes. Eye's that were as ice cold as Kagame's.
"Whoa, what was that about?" she said before she sensed it herself.
"Myst." They said in unison and started running together.
