"Mom!" Tammy called to the back of the Peak Chalet, "I'm back!"

There was no answer.

"Mom?" Tammy called again in korean.

This time, there was an answer.

"Oh, you're back." an asian woman with short black hair said. She wore an orange t-shirt and jeans with a white apron on. Her english wasn't so fluent.

"Mom, these are my new friends," Tammy introduced to her mother in korean, "Matt, Jackie, Inez, Slider, and Digit."

"Friends?" Tammy's mother asked in korean.

"Yep." Tammy answered, nodding her head.

"Nice to meet you." Tammy's mother said in english, "Do you want some hot chocolate?"

"Sure." the cybersquad answered.

"Mom," Tammy said in korean, "I want-"

"I know," Tammy's mother answered back in korean, "Whipped cream on top, I get it. What about your friends?"

Then, Tammy turned to face the cybersquad. "Do you guys want whipped cream on your hot chocolate?"

"You guys can do that?" Jackie asked, surprised.

"Never tried it like that but sounds good." Matt said, "Sure, why not?"

"Same with the others?" Tammy asked.

The others nodded their heads.

Tammy turned to face her mother and nodded.

"This whipped cream is good." Jackie said at thebistro barwhere they had their lunch, "I wonder how the hot chocolate tastes..."

"Jacs, wait!" Tammy cried, but it was too late...

"Aah!" Jackie screamed, sticking out her burnt tongue, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was about to." Tammy answered.

"Jacs, I can't even see your taste buds at the end of your tongue." Matt teased.

"That's because my tongue is burnt, stupid." Jackie growled with her tongue sticking out.

"Whatever." Matt laughed.

"I don't get you sometimes." Digit said, mixing the whipped cream with his hot chocolate with his beak (now transformed into a mini whisk).

"Guys," Tammy said in a quiet tone, "Can you keep a secret?"

Then, Matt realized that Tammy still had a scarf on, only this time, it was a purple silk.

"Sure." Slider said as Digit disabled his mini whisk back into his normal beak.

"You especially have to keep this away from Hacker." Tammy said, "It's what he's after me for."

Tammy pulled down the scarf to reveal a large pearl, mounted on her neck, right in the middle. There was no ore to create a mount. It was mounted directly onto her skin. Her skin was the mount.

"Oh, gross." Inez whispered, "What happened?"

"Ever since grade 7," Tammy explained in a quiet tone, "I learned how to open portals. At grade 6, I had the ability to see them. Now, I know how to open them. When I once closed a portal to stop a demon from entering the portal to the Fairy's Island in the Magic Realm at school, it got angryat me forclosing it. Only my friend, Kayla, and now also me, can see the demons and other magical creatures. Both good and bad. All magical beings can see it. Anyways, like I said, it got angry at me for closing the portal to Fairy's Island. So, it laid a curse on me. A stone of my birthstone, which is pearl, that held a power to open and close portals freely, when he wasn't around. When he was around, he would be able to control my powers, but, luckily, not my mind. But, he would be able to control my powers, which is the bad thing. The only way I could get rid of it, is to find the demon, and kill him. Unfourtunatly, demons are invincible to even the greatest beings of Magic. Except for one."

"Who?" Jackie asked.

"My friend Kayla," Tammy answered, "The next heir to the Royal Fairy Throne. Unfourtunatly, I have to find her. Ever since that incident, he kidnapped Kayla and erased everybody elses memories of her. Even her own mom. The only ones who remember her are me, my other friend, Sara, Kayla's two older brothers, Justin and Matthew, and, of course, the present heir to the Royal Fairy Throne, her father. Unfourtunatly, we can't find the right portal to the demon's hideout."

"Not to mention it's too risky." Inez said, "If the demon saw you at the hideout, he'll be able to control your powers. That is, unless you free Kayla with your powers first and then Kayla would kill him. But, then again, he might catch you with a glimpse of an eye. I've heard demons are very dangerous, and very smart. Not to mention very swift."

"I agree." Slider added, "I did some reasearch on demons. Turns out they're actually smarter than we think they are. They're IQ is 200 percent. Which means,"

"They can predict the future." Matt finished.

"Exactly." Slider said, "If you don't be careful, Tammy, you might be seen in his vision. You either have to change the future when it comes, or prepare yourself for the unexpected."

"Expect the Unexpected, I always say." Tammy grinned, "But still, even if it means the demon killing me to do his bidding, the last thing I wanna do before I die is to free Kayla and restore her family back to the throne. I won't fail again."

"What do you mean, restore?" Inez asked, "And what do you mean you failed?"

"Kayla's family was knocked off of the throne after Sara and the other elemental guardians and I have failed to protect them. That's when the curse was cast upon the pearl. First it was just the pearl, then it was the curse. They stole Kayla's powers, and trapped her in a giant stone and froze her from time. She's now ageless. And if we don't hurry, emotionless and memoriless. That's my quest. But, in order to open and close portals, I still have to keep the crystal mounted on my neck, or else, I'll die instantly and I'll lose my powers to Hacker or the demon that cursed me. Do you see why this is so important to me now? That's why I pushed him down the pit from a high distance. I can't let him know that I have this curse, or else, he's gonna tell Wicked, and Wicked's gonna tell the demon that cursed me, and I'll be in huge danger. Well, I don't mind myself being in danger, but, it's Kayla and her family that I'm worried about."

"I know how you feel, Tammy." Inez said.

"Well, thank you for telling me everything." a voice said behind them.

"Hacker!" Tammy cried in a serious voice, facing an old man with good health and two teenagers on his both sides. An average teenager, and a punk. The average teenager had a straight look on his face, while the old man and the punk had sly looks on their faces.

The average teen must be Delete. Tammy thought, But, why doesn't he look at all evil? Is he planning on going against Hacker?

"Heh, new look, Hacker?" Matt teased.

"That's The Hacker to you!" Hacker cried.

"Whatever." Matt scoffed.

"I'll contact Motherboard." Jackie said, taking out her skwak pad.

"And I'll deal with Mr. Elvis-wanna-be here." Tammy said, standing up from her seat.

"Tamera Yoon," Hacker cursed, "Your life is mine!"

Well? How's it so far? Let me know by reviewing! Kayla really is one of my best friends, and same with Sara. Kayla's brothers are real too. And the heir to the throne thing, that's real too. Except for the curse. And, don't worry, Kayla's safe. And I haven't faced off any demons...yet. I still need to look out for them. And, to tell you the truth, I haven't really learned how to open portals yet. I'm still learning. Well, until later, see ya! And if I had made any mistakes, please let me know! See ya! ;-)
