I don't own Zatch Bell. If I did, I would have Zatch Bell on every night. Not just Saturday! I do own Nicole and Kalonni. I don't own my B/F Logan…Logan does! I also own Kiana, but I don't own her sister Taliya. Code: Lyoko does! I don't own my "sister" Morgan either. She isn't my sister…she's my friend…BUT OH WELL! Well…here you go! HUZZAH!

The moment you trusted me was the moment you lost this battle.

Those words rang clear in my entire form. My beaten body ran from the slippery asphalt into the wet, muddy forest. I constantly wipe my tear stained eyes as I run through the darkness. The tears are welling up, clouding my vision and stinging my eyes. I trip on a root and fall to the cold, hard ground. I try to get up, but my tired body won't let me. II lay there in the darkness and the rain fall upon my bleeding form. "What am I going to do? Tia says that in this battle, no one can help you. I am alone in this world now." I say as the sweet kiss of slumber carries me off into serenity.

Next day!

Nicole's POV

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and most importantly, IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

"Hey Logan! Sign my yearbook?" I asked my boyfriend.

"Sure." Said a boy who I thought was a hottie. He had brown hair and brown eyes and was the shyest person on earth. I thought he was perfect.

"And you are coming to my 'YAY! SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER! HUZZAH!' pool party in a few weeks right?"

"Of course!" He says as the bell rings and we walk out of class and onto the sidewalk. We get to my house and he says, "Call me." Before he walks away.

I run straight into my house and look around.

"Mom?"

I look in the kitchen and living room, nothing. I look in my room and hers. Still nothing! I run outside and find her on a lawn chair.

"I'm off to the park ok?"

"Sure honey."

I run upstairs and throw my uniform off. I put my blue skirt and jacket on the floor along with my white shirt. I flip my shoe off of my feet and into the closet. My socks go by my closet as I rummage through all of my clothes. I walk out of my room wearing a turquoise skirt with a pink tube top. It has a red heart in the middle. I have denim jacket on with shiny black knee high boots. I pull my long, curly, brown hair into a neat ponytail. You can see my highlights with ease.

I walk out to the park and walk into the forest. It is my special spot. Sure, some kids go a little bit into the forest, but my spot is at the back. Deep with in the forest, in the very middle to be exact, is my spot. It is always very cool, yet the beautiful sunlight still gets through. It makes everything glimmer in the daytime, and at night it sparkles. I once stayed until nightfall. It was wonderful. In the very far left, was a little spring. That's right. It was kind of weird because there was nothing that could be harmful. There were fish, turtles, and a geyser. Every once in a while, it would spurt cold, fresh spring water. At night, the flowers that were around the pond would go into full bloom and emit fantastic smells. It was a very odd place, but very special. I was lucky to have found it.

I usually just sat there singing for hours. (In real life, I AM a singing freak) I sat down by my favorite tree and sang a song.

(Italics are either background music or some one singing)

" I found myself today. Oh, I found myself and ran away. But something pulled me back, a voice of reason I forgot I had. All I know is your not here to say what you always used to say. But it's written in the sky tonight. So I won't give up, no I won't back down. Sooner then it seems life turns around. And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong. When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe, someone's watching over me."

Just then I heard a small voice. I got up and looked over the bush to see a crying child, oblivious to my singing obviously.

"I need help. But I won't fail you Tia! We will fight together to beat Maruse. (SP?) I need a partner!" Her voice sounded like a sweet, innocent angel. (Her voice is a cross between Kolulu and Tia)

"It sounds like what you need is a friend." I said as I knelt down beside the child.

"I…" She sounded scared.

"I want to help you out with who ever this Maruse guy is. But first, where are you your parents?"

"I don't have a family or parents."

"WHAT?" I said as I fell over on my butt.

"I have no one."

"Why don't you come home with me?"

"Okay!"

Well…that's all for now! Review!
