Chapter One Part 3:
Flashbacks and A Trip Down Memory Lain
The smoke had cleared a little. You could see Syaoran was unharmed, but you could also see Starlit on the ground, with no sign of movement. Ridge and Pawz ran over to her.
Yue, Sakura, Kero and Tomoyo went over to Syaoran first. "Are you alright?" Sakura asked.
He looked at her. "Yeah, I'm fine . . . but," he turned to where Starlit was lying. "Why did she save me?" He asked.
Kero hit Syaoran in the head. "You did it this time. You pissed of the wrong person." He stated.
Syaoran shot Kero an evil look. "Yeah! And it turns out I was way off . . ." His eyes softening as he looked over to the three girls. "Way off." He whispered.
Ridge and Pawz had reached Starlit. "Starlit-chan! Come on wake up, you can't be dead." Said Pawz.
Ridge looked for a heartbeat. She gave a little smile. "Stop being such a girl, she's still alive." Then she stood up, giving no sign on caring if she needed medical help or not.
Yue and Kero joined their side. Sakura and Tomoyo were helping Syaoran over. "How is she?" Asked Sakura.
"She's fine. She still has a heart beat," Stated Pawz.
Tomoyo looked down at the ground. "What's that?" She said, pointing to the floor that was under Starlit.
A crimson liquid painted the ground with its mark of death. Pawz and Ridge looked. "Oh cool, blood." Stated Ridge.
"How's that possible, the wind from that attack wasn't strong enough to cause any real harm, unless . . ." She stopped.
"Unless 'what'?" Asked Ridge, showing no sign of really caring.
"Unless you throw out more energy then we thought. But if that were the case, then there shouldn't even be a body here." She stated.
"You're so stupid, Panthers have claws, duh." Ridge said.
"So then what happened?" asked Syaoran.
"I knew what I was doing, or at least I knew the attack, I put a little energy behind a swipe of my claws, obviously my claws hit but only after the energy died down."
Yue looked up and over to Little Angel, Demon and Ryuujin. Then back to Pawz and Ridge. "Tell me, which one of you is the little girls Master?" He asked.
Ridge looked to him. "She is! Why?" She stated, acknowledging Starlit.
Yue looked back up at the three creatures again. "Maybe . . . just, maybe . . . her Guardian there interfered." He said.
"Who, Little Angel? You think she's the one who stopped Starlit-chan from being . . . She thought a second. 'Nothing'?" Asked Ridge.
He waited a second, before he answered. His eyes narrowed and focused. "Yes, I think she did." He stated. Little Angel looked at Yue out of the corner of her eye and then returned to her gaze into the nothingness.
"This isn't the time for small talk; we need to stop the bleeding here." Stated Pawz, her easy going, insane self started getting panicked. She through her hands up. "Dammit! It's coming out to fast; we have to get her to a hospital."
Yue was still watching Little Angel and the others. When Pawz said those words, Little Angel shot her head into that direction. With some speed she was next to Pawz and Starlit, located in front of Ridge.
"That's not a good idea." She stated.
Ridge and Pawz fell back, surprised to see her. When they got out of their state of shock they answered back.
"Why isn't it a good idea?" Asked Pawz.
"How are you going to explain the fact that her heart isn't beating, but she's still alive?" She stated.
"What are talking about, her heart is beating." Ridge asked confused, but still showing no sign of caring.
"To you, yes. But if someone from this world were to try and find it, they wouldn't." She stated.
"What?" Asked both Ridge and Pawz at the same time.
"In this world, or any world for that matter, you're not alive to them. You're not real. If you don't believe me, have one of them look and you'll see what I mean." She stated.
Ridge and Pawz looked at the others, then to each other. They were unsure on what to do.
"I'll look." Said Tomoyo. She kneed beside Starlit. She took a hold of Starlit's wrist. Her eyes looked shocked. "There's nothing there."
Everyone's, except Little Angel, had the look of shock on their face. Little Angel looked at Tomoyo. "Now feel theirs." She said pointing to Ridge and Pawz. Tomoyo did as told and received the same result.
"So you see, my Master can't be taken to the hospital." She stated.
Pawz was becoming pissed. "Then what else can we do?" She asked.
"The truth is . . . nothing!" She stated.
"No, we can't let her die." Said Pawz very upset now. "There's got to be another way. We still haven't paid her back." She said.
"Paid her back?" asked Ridge.
Flash Back
"Come on, tell me now. It was you who destroyed the teacher's room, wasn't it?" Said a teacher standing in front of a younger looking Ridge.
"I told you it wasn't me, I was with my friends." She answered back.
"Stop lying to me, I have seen you, you're a loner, you have no friends," Shouted the teacher.
"Excuse me, but she is telling the truth, she was with me the whole time today." Came a voice from behind them.
The teacher and Ridge looked in the direction of where the voice came from. There stood a younger Starlit. "Ms. Starlit, you mean to tell me that this trouble maker was with you the whole time?" Asked the teacher.
"Yes!" She answered back looking a little flush.
The teacher by now was very upset. He turned to Ridge. "Is that true Ridge?"
Ridge looked at Starlit, then back at the teacher. "Yeah, you got a problem with that?"
The teacher looked at them both and then turned to talk to Starlit. "You shouldn't get yourself involved with the trouble makers Starlit; you have a good future in front of you."
"Yes Sir." She answered back. The teacher left.
Ridge walked up next to Starlit. "Thanks, who ever you are. I owe you one; if you ever get into any trouble, just tell them Ridge is a friend."
Starlit smiled. "Sure." Then they both walked in different directions.
Starlit was sitting in the library, doing homework.
"Come on! Tell us, how you did it?" Said a male's voice.
"I told you, I won't tell," Said a younger Pawz.
Out of the eight boys, one walked closer. "Boss, she's just a seventh grader there's no way she could have done it." He stated.
"Yeah you're right; I guess we'll have to do something to her, for misleading us." He said giving a smirk.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that." Said a voice from behind.
Starlit looked up recognizing the voice. Standing behind the boys was Ridge.
The boss turned to see whom, the voice belong to. "Yeah and why shouldn't I?" He asked.
"Because you asshole, she's Pawz, one of the strongest fighters in this school," Stated Ridge.
The gang's faces, lit up in shock. The boss spoke. "There's no way she's Pawz." He stated.
Ridge gave a smirk, as Pawz spoke. "You just wrote your death wish. Ridge, I think he just called you a liar." She stated.
The gang looked like they were going to be sick. "No way, you two are the top fighters of this School."
"No . . ." Pawz stated.
"Aha. See . . ." The boss, said.
" . . . Not only are we the best fighter of Williamstown Middle School, were the best fighters of Williamstown, period." Stated Ridge.
The boss was getting pissed now. "There's no way they're Pawz and Ridge. GET THEM." He shouted.
The gang went to attack; Ridge knocked two out as they were coming for her. Pawz moved out of the way of one of the guy's attacks, casing him to fly across the table.
The guy was sliding along the table that Starlit was sitting at. Starlit saw it coming and got up and out of the way. She was standing there now watching. Pawz took out three more guys and Ridge took out the last two along with the leader.
The librarian and a few teachers came to see what the noise was. The teacher spoke first. "What happened here?"
Ridge and Pawz froze. The teacher looked over to Starlit.
"Starlit what happened here?" He asked. The librarian and other teachers, along with Pawz and Ridge, all looked her way.
Starlit looked at Pawz and Ridge, then to the teachers. "Well you see . . ." She started off, and then she looked at Ridge and Pawz again. "The boys here all got into a fight with each other and the noise was heard by Pawz and Ridge, here. So they came to see what the commotion was and I was here studying." She said, quickly. Pawz and Ridge looked at each other and then back to Starlit.
The teacher looked at all three of them. "Ridge, Pawz, is that true?" He asked.
They looked at each other and to the teacher. "Yeah, it's true." Stated Pawz.
"100 true, Starlit just told you that, didn't see." Ridge lied with an attitude.
One of the teachers looked at Pawz and saw that she was cut. "Pawz, how do you explain that cut on your arm, it looks as if it came from a knife, or sharp object." She asked.
Pawz looked down at her arm. "What cut?" She asked.
"Odd, I thought I just saw a . . . never mind." She said.
The librarian stepped forward. "I'm going to have to ask the three of you to go to another section of the library." She said.
"Okay!" Starlit said.
Ridge followed behind. "Yeah whatever."
Pawz looked at her arm one last time. She looked up at the teacher. "Goodbye!"
When the three girls were out of sight and hearing range, Pawz and Ridge looked at Starlit. Who paled under their stair.
"Looks like I owe you another one," Said Ridge.
"How did you now my name?" Pawz asked.
Starlit thought about it. "I don't know, maybe I heard someone say it somewhere." She stated.
Ridge stepped to Starlit. "You know . . . you'd be good to have around, do you have a name?" Asked Ridge.
"Starlit! Some call me Star! I'm new here." She stated.
Pawz's sweat dropped. "Starlit? Where in the world did you get that name?" She asked.
"Pawz and Ridge aren't normal either." She answered back.
Ridge gave a grin. "Welcome to the team, Starlit; new member of the Spirit Prophesies."
Starlit blinked a few times. Pawz stepped forward and patted her on the back. "You're our new member, Starlit. Welcome to the team."
"Team?" Asked Starlit.
"Yeah, me and Pawz are a team. We call our selves Spirit Prophesies. Now only one question left, can she fight?" Stated Ridge, turning to Pawz.
Starlit's eyes went blank. "Fight?" She asked.
"I don't know, but she's got promise, you saw how she dodged that guy," Commented Pawz.
"Let's test her," Stated Ridge. She went to hit Starlit, when . . .
Pawz's eyes narrowed. "Wow!" She said. Starlit had her fist an inch in front of Ridge's face as Ridge had hers at Starlit's neck. "Not only did she dodge you, but she got close into you defenses, where she'd be able to make a good hit," Stated Pawz.
Ridge back off. "Not bad, you can read your opponents moves, you know most people in this school would kill to be able to do that. If we ever have a friendly fight, I'm going to have to keep my guard up," Stated Ridge laughing at what she said.
"She may be able to read the person she fights, but she needs work on her form. When she went to make that hit, her right leg, her left side stomach and her face and neck (obviously), were all unguarded," Stated Pawz.
"So she's on the team?" Asked Ridge.
Pawz paused. "Yeah she's on the team," Said Pawz giving a smile. "Now, let's see how she gets along with the others."
End Flashback
"Even then she used magic, that's how she saved us, that day. She read our minds to get our names. We have been . . . friends ever since that day," Stated Ridge.
Pawz had her eyes closed; the wind began to pick. Pawz opened her eyes; the iris and the pupil were now a blood red color. Pawz's body began to give off a black aura.
Everyone back up. Pawz's hands began to glow light, ice-blue. She put them over Starlit's body. Light began to be admitted from them and Starlit's wound began to heal. When it was completely healed Starlit began to awake. Pawz's eyes went back to normal.
"Well, it seems Starlit wasn't the only one who used her powers before. That day Pawz you really were cut, but before you could see it, it healed itself," Stated Ridge.
Pawz looked up. "Your powers must have been your heightened senses, and shape shifting. Remember gym class in eighth grade? And that time when they couldn't find that little girl?" She asked.
Ridge looked at her, slightly confused, and then she gave a smile, "Yeah!"
Flashback
Ridge's ears pricked, she quickly looked to where the sound was coming from. The wires holding up the lights, in the gym, slowly began to give. Ridge was standing under them. They fell; they're about to hit Ridge, when she did a backhand flip and cartwheel, to dodge the attack, she quickly ran out of the room, grabbing people by their hands and bringing them to safety.
Another Flashback
People all around a five year-old, Ridge and Pawz were talking worriedly over a little girl gone missing.
"I wonder where she is…" Pawz said.
"I dunno, but I think we should try to find her, I mean they aren't doing anything about it, and I mean, I know how it is to not have anyone. She is out there in the cold. Come on." Ridge said as she began to walk toward the woods. Pawz followed, wondering why they were going to the forest, and not asking where else to start. Ridge's eyes flashed in the moon light and Pawz noticed that she looked differently in the moonlight.
"Ya know you look like a cat in the moonlight…" Pawz said as they continued to walk. Ridge didn't reply but sniffed the air, and darted toward right.
"Come on! I found her!" She yelled as she ran through the maze of trees. Pawz followed closely, but Ridge dropped down and ran on all fours. Soon Pawz came to a clearing where an unconscious girl laid in front of them. Ridge was back on her own two feet and looked at Pawz.
Ridge walked over and picked the unconscious five year old up with ease and began to leave the clearing. Pawz followed behind, making sure the girl was ok.
"How'd you know where to go?" Pawz asked after she made sure the little one was ok.
"Don't laugh at me for this, but I could smell her," Pawz nodded
"Well, why did you run on your hands and feet?"
"I don't remember that part, come on, we better get her to the grown-ups," Ridge said and ended their conversation.
End Flashback
Pawz looked down at Starlit. "Look she's waking up!" She stated.
Starlit opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around to see everyone looking at her. "Umm . . ."
Pawz hugged Starlit. "You're alright!" She stated.
"What the hell were you thinking when you pulled that stunt?" Asked Ridge.
"Yes, why did you save me?" Asked Syaoran.
Starlit looked very confused. "Umm, what stunt? When did I save you?" She asked.
Everyone's sweat dropped. "You don't remember do you?" Asked Ridge, looking the least bit surprised.
"Nope!" She answered back when a wide grin.
Ridge was angry. "You are a moron." She said hitting Starlit on the head. Syaoran had a look of pure fear on his face.
"Ridge-kun? You said that you only let out a little energy into that attack right?" He said, becoming faint.
"Yeah,"
Flashback
The after affect of the attack was heading right for Syaoran; Starlit acts out of sub-consciously and pushes him out of the way. The attack hits here full force.
End Flashback
