First of all sorry for leaving you guys hanging for almost a year, school and other stuff were in the way so now here I am and I'm going to continue the story.

"Nina, you know that this weekend you're going back to the magic kingdom to take an exam and that this week will be really hectic so I don't know if you can go out after school with Ayu…We could've finished earlier if we didn't dilly dally so much…" Ella told Nina on their way to school.

"I understand…" Nina said sadly. Nina's been training really hard under Ella for the past two in order to prepare for an exam which every kid witch has to go through.

"Don't sound so sad, I promise that I will give you time with Ayu after the exam." Ella said trying to cheer Nina up. Nina put a fake smile on her face trying to fool Ella, but Ella didn't fall for it, she knew deep inside Nina was very sad. They finally arrived at school and surprisingly Ayu wasn't there to greet them. Nina got curious but didn't really mind it. As soon as they arrived in their classroom, Nina noticed that Ayu wasn't by her seat either. Maybe she's just running late, yeah maybe that's it

"Ohio Sakura…" Tsujiai said

"Ohio gozaimazu…" Nina said

"What's wrong Sakura…you're not your usual self…" Tsujiai said

"She's just feeling under the weather…you know, being all cloudy and stuff…outside…." Ella tried covering for Nina while hitting her discreetly at the back.

"Oh, your that new girl, Hanasaki Ella, nice to meet you" Tsujiai said

"Nice to meet you too Tsujiai Hiroki" Ella said

"WOW you know my name, how did you know?" Tsujiai said

"Nina told me" Ella looked at Nina and could tell she was still depressed. "Anyway, class is about to start so if you excuse us…" Ella told Tsujiai while pulling Nina away. "Nina, I know its hard being away from your friend but why are you so depressed?"

"I don't know myself I just feel so sad and heavy and so lonely…"

"Maybe it'll go away, when you say Ayu again…"Ella was cut off because Mr. Mikami came in.

The whole day went by and there was still no sign of Ayu. Nina was really starting to get worried that she wasn't cheerful the whole day. She never smiled, laughed or even a little chuckle or giggle. Ella was getting worried and not only did Ella notice it other people like Kaji and Tsujiai did too.

On their way home Nina ran to Kaji and decided to ask him if he knew where Ayu was. "Sorry Sakura I don't know where she is either…maybe she's at home sick." Kaji suggested. "Nina, are you still looking for Ayu, listen if its that important we could visit her at her house…" Ella told Nina. "Really? Thanks. Thanks again Kaji."

"No problem, you're Ella Hanasaki the new girl right…."Kaji said.

"Yup that's me…well it was nice meeting you Kaji, Nina and I have to go now….excuse us…" Ella politely said and left pulling Nina.

Nina and Ella walked over to Ayu's house, it was a quiet walk until Nina noticed that the clouds still didn't disappear…."Ella…..did you notice something with the clouds….or is it just me…" Nina asked

"It looks like ordinary rain clouds to me, you're just imagining things." Ella said

ring ring

"Excuse me Nina, I'll just take this call" Ella said to Nina. Ella walked away and talked on the phone. Nina couldn't help but over hear Ella's conversation.

"Yup…..we're on our way there…..of course she doesn't know…….yes she did…..I won't forget….ok, bye"

"Sorry it took so long…"Ella said

"Who was it?" Nina asked suspiciously

"My friend from the magic kingdom, she misses me that's all…"

When they got to Ayu's house, Nina noticed that the Aura was really heavy and dark, different. "I'll check her room" Nina said. When she entered no one was there so she went back to the living room where she left Ella, but she wasn't there anymore….she was alone. Nina started panicking.

shoot, where are Ayu and Ella? Why am I alone?

Then she noticed something moving at the corner of her eye. She went to check it out. She saw a tall black figure which was surrounded by a dark aura. Beside it was a bubble and inside it was Ayu and Ella. Nina immediately transformed to her witch outfit and brought out her laptop. She tried to remember what Ella taught her about these creatures……

FLASHBACK

"Nina, WAKE UP! Stop drooling on your notes…Now these dark creatures can only be defeated by one thing and that is…"

END FLASHBACK

She forgot what it was…it was something like a sacred creature…uhm, a bird of some sort….a Maya, no…a raven….no…..a phoenix that's it! BUT WHERE DO I GET ONE! Wait she taught me something about that too, sacred creatures...creating you need….uhm…come on Nina think!...three things….one witch's hair…second….bird feathers and third….a pollinated potion, good thing I carry it around, now all I have to do is catch a bird outside and pluck one of its feathers.

As soon as Nina tried running outside, she noticed that Ayu's house was covered with a barrier so she was trapped.

How am I supposed to get a bird…wait, Ayu has a dog and Ella told me how to transform animals it might work for dog hair too. I'll try it.

So she preformed the transfiguration and was able to make a phoenix. Then she let the phoenix defeat the dark creature….but suddenly the phoenix disappeared.

"WHAT? What did I do wrong?" Nina said shocked

"Good job Nina…" a distant voice cried

"Who's that?" Nina asked still shocked.

"Nina its me your grandfather…you just passed the test."

"What test?"

"Nina, remember the test I told you about this weekend…this is it, it's a surprise and you did good I saw the whole thing." Ella surprised Nina

"Nina, you're a good witch" Ayu said

"Ayu you were in on this?" Nina asked

"Not only Ayu but also me…" The dark creature spoke up

"That voice sounds familiar….Yuta?" Nina asked "You all ganged up on me…how good did I do?"

"Very Well and I'm proud you remembered everything from the clouds to the phoenix to transfiguring animals…you have the week off…" Ella said proudly

"YES!" Nina screamed.

I made up the phoenix thingy I couldn't think of anything else. Anyway please review and sorry again for hanging it for like a year…hehehe……again please review and I'll keep adding.
