1Chapter 3: The Mad Maxwell Collector
Shay woke early the next day and went outside and met Lyssa. "Hey, Lyssa." Shay said sleepily. Lyssa just nodded. "You're ready to leave, aren't you?" Shay asked. Lyssa nodded again. Shay smiled, and reached out with her mind. Noel, Ci, Maria, Brycen and Dane were already awake. "Yoh and Anna are still asleep." Shay informed Lyssa. Lyssa nodded, "So let's wake them up. We need to leave." Lyssa stated. Shay gave her a funny look. "Have you, sensed something?" Lyssa nodded, "Has your chain rattled?"
Shay woke Yoh and Anna. "What time is it?" Yoh yawned. "Five am" Shay told him. Neither seemed glad to be awake. Noel was came up to the three of them, "Shay, some of Yoh's friends are here." Shay gave a funny look, "How'd they know when we were leaving?" Noel just shrugged. The four walked out the door and saw Trey, Len, Tamra, Morty, Lyserg, Rio and Jun. "How did you know we were leaving?" Lyssa demanded. "Tamra told us." Jun said. Lyssa glared at the pink haired girl. "We want to come to." Rio stated. Lyssa looked over at Shay, who just smiled. "Fine." Lyssa said rather coldly. Shay nodded, "We need to leave."
As they walked Anna noticed something odd about Shay's outfit. On her right wrist was a shackle, with only one link attached to it. Anna watched as the link began to move and Shay's face became upset. The other Little Warriors started to become restless, like they were expecting something. Shay fell rather suddenly. "Yes, Lyssa, my chain is rattling." She stated. Lyssa looked upset. "We didn't manage to outrun him." Noel said quietly. "Who?" Trey asked. "The mad man who calls himself a collector." Ci said. "Well, does he collect?" Anna asked. "Maxwells" Shay said. "Maxwells?" Yoh said. "Yeah, "Dane said, "As in Shay Maxwell, Shannon Maxwell, Dane Maxwell, and Anna Maxwell." Anna was shocked, "He collects members of our family!" Shay's single link glowed and became a chain, the end of which was held in a man's hands. He held another chain in his other hand. "My small collection." he said yanking hard on the chains. Shay and another girl, identical to except with black hair and red eyes, crashed into him. "Time to expand." he said quietly, "Anna! Dane! RUN!" Shay yelled. Dane quickly grabbed Anna and took off running. Then each of the other warriors grabbed a shaman and ran in a different direction.
