Author's Ramblings: Another chapter? Who does this girl think she is? Oh yeah, a Holmes girl. What's up everyone? I'm glad I got reviews for my first two chapters! I'm so excited. I'd like to take this space up to say thanks to a few reviewers...

Samyo: Glad you liked it!

StriderX: Yep, this is younger sis Holmes here. Angie/Tom was always my plan for the chars, I'm glad someone else thinks that coupling works too.

Ophira: SIS! You reviewed! Wootness! I'm way glad you liked it and thanks for the permission to use this next chappy. Can't wait for the next one of yours!

Now let's get to the ficcy!

Prologue 2

"Angie!" Ophira screamed. Skinner grabbed her arms to restrain her. "She's fading! I have to save her!"

"Mina, hold back Ophira, Jekyll, go back to the Nautiless and prepare the sickbay, Skinner..." Alan said as he yelled his commands.

"Already on it, Alan." Skinner said as he frantically began removing his coverings until finally no one could see him.

"And hurry!" Alan said before he was sure the man had left.


"You can save her right?" Mina asked Jekyll. Jekyll ran his hand through his hair as he inspected the damage.

"Well, she seems to have gotten lucky. See right here, how she got hit under the rib? The shot managed to miss any vital organs on its way through. It seems to be a simple matter of cleaning and stitching." Jekyll began pulling needles and clothes out all around. "Mina, can you pour some water into that bowl?"

"How is she?" Came a weak voice from behind the door.

"Hello Ophira, Skinner. We think she is going to be fine." Mina said as she poured the water into the bowl, or at least, thought she was pouring the water into the bowl. The water poured from the tip of the container and floated up into the air until it had formed a perfect ring above the girls body.

"Um, Dr. Jekyll..." Mina said slowly. Jekyll turned around and did a double take.

"This mayt be a problem..."

"What? What is it?" Ophira asked frantically.

"Well, little freaky one, it appears to be a water halo floating a foot about your sister." Skinner said, his voice filled with shock and amazement. Ophira breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I thought it was something bad." She said softly.

"So this has happened before?" Jekyll asked, never taking his eyes from the spinning ring.

"Only once, it's her powers going on the fritz. When she gets badly wounded her powers tend to create something like a shield around her, anything she has control over is instantly drawn to it. I can demonstrate."

Ophira cautiously felt around until she found a match on the table next to her and she struck it against the wooden finish. She covered it with one hand to avoid putting it out as she led it towards her sister. The flame was picked up off the tip and made its way towards the circle. The flames mixed with the water to form a bigger ring.

"See?" Ophira said matter-of-factly. She could feel the presence of Skinner slowly moving towards the door. "And where exactly do you think you're going?"

"If that's what happens to things she has control over then I don't want to be the next part of the ring..."

Authors Note: So let me know what you all think. Your opinions really do matter to me. I like being liked. (Smiles) And I think I'll take a quick opportunity to clue in some of you on the two sisters powers.

Ophira: A Blind Knife-Thrower who can sense peoples auras instead of actually seeing them.

Angie: Angie can see things that others can't (a.k.a. Skinner) and she also has control over the elements, Earth Wind Water and Fire.

And just another quick note before I'm off, you may notice that my chapters are somewhat out of order. This is on purpose. Each Chapter is what leads up to each Prologue. Get it now? Read, review, and all that jazz.
