Transformation Chapter # 2 – Who's side are you on?
Two Weeks Later
The alleyway was dark and he was starting to second guess even coming here. Another glance at his watch, "What am I doing here?" Who ever that message had come from was now almost 15 minutes later. "Forget this I'm going home." He turned and started to walk out of the alley.
"I would not suggest that you do that Ken if you do truly love Lita." The voice came from the back of the alley but he was not able to see anything, "Yes Ken we are here but you will not be able to see us yet. First there is a test that you must pass."
"What test and what trouble is Lita in? And who the hell is this?"
A cold laugh filled the air, "All good questions and all will be answered soon." A bright emerald light filled the alley and when it was gone Ken understood. "Good you are who we thought that you were. Do you understand what you must do?"
Ken stood there for a minute thinking about all that he had just been shown. "Yes I understand what I have to do. But when?"
There was a pause before the reply came, "One week from tonight you will bring her to us and from there we will move on to bigger and better things."
"I understand Sir." Ken turned and walked out of the alley and headed to his home.
It was close to mid-night as Lita laid down to go to sleep. Mina had now been for two weeks and there was still no sign of her. She was starting to wonder if there was any hope for her return. She turned out the light and laid down. "Where are you Mina?" She had drifted almost to sleep when the phone rang.
She was startled from the noise but when she saw the time she was able to think only one thing. She ran to the phone as fast as she could, "Mina I know that you would call!"
There was a long pause on the other end of the line, "And whatever just happened to hello?"
Lita sighed and a tear came to her eye, "It's just you Ken."
"Thanks I feel special." There was a slight edge in Ken's voice.
"I'm sorry Ken it is just that I thought that because of the hour and things that it was Mina." Lita tried to cover her tracks.
"Yet how is Mina I have not seen her at school?"
Lita groaned, "Is there a point to this Ken it is after midnight."
Ken laughed, "Yea I have been trying to get the nerve to ask you this for almost a month now. Lita would you go out to eat with me?"
Lita was not able to believe what she was hearing, "Care to repeat that?"
Ken laughed, "Yea I have this big dinner that I have to go to one week from tonight, well I guess considering that it is after midnight, last night. And I would like you to go with me as my date." There was no answer, "Lita I really like you and I though that maybe you would like to go with me even if it is just as friends."
Lita was stunned by what she was hearing Ken liked her, "Ken I need sometime to think about this. I... I'm not awake enough to even consider this right now." She paused and when Ken sighed on the other end of the phone she was able to hear the disappointment in his voice, "Listen Ken give me until tomorrow night to think about this and I will call you with my answer I promise ok."
Ken smiled on the other end of the phone,, "Thank you Lita you are the best! Thank you and good night."
"Goodnight," and with that she hang up the phone.
Ken eyes glowed a emerald green, "It is done."
Lita was sitting in the temple for their weekly meetings waiting on Ami to get there from school, "Yet he asked me out this coming Friday. What should I do guys?"
Serena laughed, "Well go with him of course! You have had a crush on this guy for what three years now."
"I know Serena but what if Mina comes back or she calls saying that she needs our help?"
Raye glared and her tone was bitter, "Mina left us Lita. We can't plan our lives around the fact that she may call or she may come back. It was her choice and she has to deal with the consequences of that choice."
Lita was about to talk but was not able to get a work out. "He is the most impossible man on this planet!" Ami slammed the temple door, "Can you believe that he had the nerve to lie to my face!"
Greg suppressed a laugh, "Um babe you are going to have to explain that one just a little more for the rest of us." He could not believe how beautiful she was when she was mad.
She glared at him and then smiled at the others, "I ran into Adam after school today. And I asked him about Mina!"
Serena jumped up, "What did he say? Did he tell you where she is?"
Ami sat down beside Greg and laughed, "To quote him, 'Ami right... well let me put it this into simple words so you will understand I have no clue who this Mina is and why would a waste my time with someone who would be acquainted with you?' the nerve of that guy. Forget the fact that he insulted me but he lied to me! We all saw him with her the night that she left and them he was not at school again until yesterday. The school said that he was on a business trip."
Darien placed his arm on Serena's shoulders as she sat back down, "Ami do you think that we have a new enemy and he may be part of this group?"
Ami laughed, "He sure is rude enough to be." Then she sighed, "but I don't know."
Luna finally spoke up, "I want all of you to be on your guard more than normal but making this type of actualization without a good foundation will only cause more problems."
"But if he is then he has Mina and there is no telling how much trouble she is in." Lita started to protest.
"Lita that is a good point so be careful, but for now I have to think that Mina has been well enough trained that she would not fall into a trap that easy." Luna looked down, "but I do have some very bad news. The pens that Mina gave us are indeed fake." The other started to talk but Luna silenced them, "If the fact that they may have been fakes was not brought to my attention I would have never known. They have a high source of power and the same power source that you use to transform. BUT there is one major difference these pens would never be able to connect to the power source. They are good fakes but they are still fakes."
Raye had not moved or spoken since Ami can in now she walked over and sat down beside Chad, "Now what I saw in the fire reading that I did early makes more since. I saw Mina but she didn't look the same. There was a man standing beside her and her power was unbelievable I could see it all around her. Her suit was different almost darker some how." Raye raised her eye to the sky, "I think that Mina is in trouble now more than ever but more so I think that we are in trouble. If some how she has been turned against us..." she didn't finish her statement but there was no need because everyone knew what she was thinking.
The room remained silent for sometime but finally Ami spoke up, "So if anyone sees Mina as much as we may hate it we can't approach her alone and we need to be on guard and for now all we can do is pray and wait."
Author notes: As I said I am back and here is the next chapter. I will have chapter three up I hope by the end of this week if not the beginning of the next. And I am hope to introduce the enemy in the next part. But I don't like to make my chapters over 5 pages so we will see. Please tell me what you think...
Thanks
