CHAPTER 3: THE FIRST FIGHT

Era, Rameerez, Madison and Kai walked all throught the pitch-black night and hadn't stopped for rest. The girls were in the middle, chatting occasionaly, "so what do you thing of all this protecter stuff?" asked Madison in a whisper. "I find it creepy, they tried flollowing us into the bathroom and that can't be a good sign" Era said frowning slightly. Madison started giggling silently, "Well I think it would be an interesting experiance" she giggled again. A smiled crept up onto Eras face, "so you do like your protecter then." Madison shrugged, "well he is hot" she said. She giggled again and Era laughed, "and what about you and your protecter" she said still keeping her vioce at a minimum. "I have to admit he is attractive, well atleast in my view" she said sincerly. Madison started giggling loudly, and the other two turned around raising their eyebrows. Then Era burst out laughing, she hadn't done that in a long time. "Aww you laughed Era maybe we can get rid of the goggles next" Madison laughed, then Era put her hands on her goggles to make sure they were out of harms way.

The sea of black that was above them soon turned to a pinkish-orange sunrise, but the continued. And as they were walking Kai asked Madison "Why does she were goggles," "I don't know, I think it may have something to do with our mother." She remembered that her mother had worn goggles like her sister, she had never seen either of there eyes. Madison looked at Kai for a moment then said, "whats it like to live in a gem?" "well...its not as cramped as you may think, and the land inside the gem is decorated to suit the gems attributes, so the light gems land pretty much looks like what you people would call heaven" he explained slowly. "What do we have to do in this little adventure then?" she asked curiously, "fight evil" he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Madison raised an eyebrow, "you mean like fighting against another person!?" "Yes, why are you so shocked?" Madison suddenly looked scared, "I can't fight..." she said ashamed and bowed her head. She felt a hand raise her chin, "you may fight a different way, you may use the gems instead of wepeons or fists, and I am here to protect you" Kai said honestly. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks, and looked away before he could notice.

Era looked over her shoulder just in time to see the moment, she smiled to herself.'Looks like Kai can be trusted' she thought, then Madison looked at her with the blush still on her cheeks. She gave her a thumbs up with out the other two noticing, Madison smiled back. Suddenly she heard a gunshot and felt a hand force her to the floor, then turned to see six men, clearly gangsters, holding guns and pointing at them. Rameerez got up and tackled the one that shot,' Theres no way there gonna shoot at us and get away with it' she thought. Era stood up and got the gem out, 'I hope this works' she thought."Shadows!" A gust of wind formed around her and her clothes rustled in the miniture whirlwind, two dark black cloaked figures shot out of the gem and stood on either side of Era. "Get them!" she comanded, the two dark forms lunged forward and punched two of the men, they seemed to turn black and disintergrate into nothing. The furthest one back pointed its gun at Era and shot. She fell limply to the floor, and passed out. The three men left were soon demolished by the shadowy figures and returned to their gem, Madison started crying when she saw Era.It was like watching it all over again.Like watching them die....

Rameerez picked her up (bridal style i might add ) and they walked quickly to a near-by forest, Madison was still crying. "Whats happened? Is she going to be ok?" she asked with tears streaming down her face, "she's got shot in her shoulder we just need somewhere to hide" Rameerez explained. Kai told her seeing as she couldn't hear him and put a hand on her shoulder easuringly, she smiled slightly.

Era woke up with a seering pain in her shoulder, but she beared the pain and sat up. She looked at her shoulder and saw a mass of bandages with spots of blood on them, 'I wonder how long I'v been asleep'. Era looked through her goggles and saw that she was in a forest clearing with no one around, there was a small fire lit a few metres away with her and Madisons bag. Then Rameerez walked out from the cover of the trees, "your Awake?" "No I'm sleeping" she said sarcastically, "after that shot we weren't expecting you to wake up for a couple of days" he said ignoring her comment."How long was I asleep?" she asked adjusting her goggles slightly, "a day." She stood up and clutched her shoulder from the pain, then walked over to her bag. "Where's Madison?" Era asked searching through her bag, "she has gone with Kai to get food and other things" he explained. She found what she was looking for, her C.D player (not very futuristic but jus work wiv me ppl ok). She listened to her rock music, and once again thought about her mother while the beat flowed through her ears.

When Madison entered the clearing with Kai she almost screamed for joy, "Era!" She ran over and litrally jumped on her sister, "Madison! My shoulder!" Era gasped, Madison backed off and appoligised. "We need to leave soon now that she is awake" Kai said, then Rameerez repeated the message to Era. Era went and got her bag along with madison, slung it over her shoulder, and announced that she was ready.

Instead of exiting the forest they headed further in, and when the it became dark the girls got into their sleeping bags and slept while the other two watched over them."So what do think of them?" asked Kai bored with the silence, "They are much kinder than the previous sorceresses" Rameerez said in his simple mono-tone voice. "Do you like Eras appereance?" he asked unexpectedly, "we should not be thinking of them like that" Rameerez scolded. "Yeah but I bet you like her, don't you" Kai teased. "She is attractive but it would not happen," Kai smiled. "But you heard them yesterday, they were giggling, maybe they were talking about us," "you should stop thinking these foolish thoughts." Soon after Kai went to sleep, and Rameerez found himself staring at Era.'Why does she make me feel like this' he poundered, he saw her face stir slightly in her sleep. Suddenly she shot up from her sleeping bag breathing heavily, "Era are you alright?" he asked concerned. "I...I...need to be alone" and with that she rushed off, he could tell by the sound of her voice she was upset. He silently followed, with Era unaware.

Era stopped at a stream and bent down, she took off the goggles that were flooded with tears and lay them beside her. Her reflexion in the stream showed her eyes, she hadn't seen them herself in years. Silver with hints of blue swirling here and there like a pool in the moonlight, and the jet-black pupils made them stand out. Era hadn't realised how much she had changed over the years, it was like a missing peace of the puzzle being shown before her. The puzzle of who she is. Her silvery eyes glazed over with tears again, remembering the nightmare. How many times would she have to watch her parents die again. She looked at her reflexion again, she saw her mother. Madison had always took after their father, she had his kind and fragile personality. The tears overflowed down her cheeks and she sobbed uncontrolably, she needed to cry every once in a while, just to let these feelings wash away with the tears. Then they would build up again night after night as the nightmares continued, she couldn't remember what a normal dream felt like.

Era felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Rameerez, he had a concerned look on his face.Then she realised she didn't have her goggles on and imidiatly covered her face with her hands, "why do you hide your eyes?" he asked. "If you are ashamed of them, you shouldn't be...there...beautiful" he stuttered the last part, he wasn't used to this being a shadow leader and all. "I'm not ashamed, I just feel that people would be shocked and consider me a freak then try and hurt me and or something. Plus it is a tribute to my mother." she sobbed digging her nails into the dirt, it was so hard to talk about her deceased parents. Rameerez grabbed her upper arms and pulled her up, she wiped her eyes and put her goggles back on securly. "Its time to go master" he said, "don't call me that." "What?" he said shocked, "I don't like you refering to me as master, just call me Era" she replied. "ok...Era, its getting late," she nodded and followed him back to the clearing. Once Era fell into her unconous state, she didn't have a nightmare. She had a dream...
