Raye: Ok! Next chapter is here for "From Lightness to Darkness!"

Mariah sat at her computer and typed up Aliana's beautiful poem. The young vampire was so smart and she was really pretty. Mariah wished that she could be just like Aliana.

Four hours ago, Kai and Rei had found Aliana and they'd taken her back to the kingdom, but Aliana promised that she'd be back with Kai within five hours to help her think of a way to stop the Hunting Night. Mariah had also called Kaiyana, Miana, Kyle, Salima and Kane to come help them.

RING!

"I'll get it!" Mariah ran for the door only to find her older brother Lee standing in the doorway looking at the two kids in front of him.

"Who are you?" he asked coldly. "Um… we're looking for Mariah?" Kyle's voice sounded through the doorway.

"Well, she's busy," Lee replied. "Shut UP Lee!" Mariah scolded and pushed him away. "Hey Kyle, Kane. We're meeting up in my room," Mariah smiled and the boys entered.

"I missed you!" Aliana flung her arms around her female best friend, Mickey. Mickey happened to be Tala's girlfriend.

"I missed you too!" Mickey hugged Aliana back. "Where were you anyways? Kai was ripping his brains out!" she giggled.

"I went to the human world because I was REALLY mad at Kai, but I'm all better now!" Aliana replied smirking.

"If there is one person who can control Kai, it's you!" Mickey smiled. "Anyways, Tala and I have a date at the Doom Café, so I must be going now! See you later!" With that, Mickey left.

"Hey Als, can I talk to you?" Kai asked from behind her. Aliana turned to see Kai and Rei standing there waiting for her to come with them.

"Yeah, sure…"

"So where is everybody?" Kyle asked. Mariah was just printing out the poem.

RING!

"It's for me!" Mariah called downstairs. She bolted down and reached the door just before her older brother. She stuck out her tongue at him and opened the door.

"Hey Kaiyana, Miana, Salima! Come in," Mariah led the way to her room.

"Hey guys!" Salima snuggled next to Kane who happened to be her boyfriend and Kaiyana lay down on Mariah's bed. Miana sat on the computer chair and Mariah sat next to Kyle on the floor.

"So who are we waiting for now?" Kyle put his arm around Mariah. She blushed.

"We're waiting for Aliana and Kai," Mariah answered.

"Kai? You mean the one who sent those evil vampires after us?" Miana asked purely shocked.

"Yes, but he's good now because he's got a soft spot for our little purple haired friend. They should be here very soon," Mariah replied staring at the window.

"So what's up guys?" Aliana was alone in a room with Kai and Rei.

"Aliana, Rei and I have been talking. We've decided that you've helped us a LOT and we really need some more help around the kingdom. So all you have to do to help us rule the kingdom is…" Kai halted.

"C'mon Kai, we practiced this and you were doing so well!" Rei urged on his friend.

"I know, but… well, you have… too…"

Rei sighed. This would take forever if he didn't do something. "You have to go out with Kai on a date," Rei told her for him.

"Really?" Aliana asked. Inside, her heart was pounding against her chest and she felt like she was floating. After all, how long had she wanted this? Ever since she was little and Kai had saved her from a human hunting party, she'd always considered him as much, much more than just a friend. She had a crush on him and she loved him with all her heart.

"It was Rei's idea!" Kai glared at his male companion who was chuckling at his cousin's reaction.

"Oh… well, ok! I'll go on a date with you Kai! But really, is that it?" she asked, as if not really believing her best buddies.

"Well, you ARE going to help me save our world from the hunters, right?" Kai took her hand. "C'mon, we're late for Mariah." Then they took off.

Raye: There you are! I know it's short, but just sit tight, I'll update ASAP! Please review!
