Disclaimer: I do not own any Power rangers…. Although I do wish I owned some of them but I don't so I just have to deal.

A/N: Ok I hope you liked my last chapter. I only got 2 reviews for this story though and they are from the same person so thank you Darkyami7. Ok I was watching the new episode for S.P.D last night and I was fairly happy even though it's the second to last episode,sniff, I saw a freaking commercial for 'Mystic Force' I freaked out. I mean come on Power Rangers and Magic. That and they also brought back Amy Jo Johnson, which is kinda cool, I guess, but the stupid thing is we all know her as Kimberly, the original pink ranger. She's not the pink ranger in 'Mystic force', she's the white. They also have two really hot guys in it. Which will be the only reason why I like it. Ok, so the show will probably grow on me just like S.P.D did but they are not supposed to have magical powers. I also think that if they are going to get Amy Jo Johnson back, they need to bring back Austin St.John, the original red ranger Jason, and Walter Jones, the original black ranger Zack. OK I will get on with my story, so if you read all this thank you for putting up with my complaining, now to continue with the story. One tip when reading this chapter: It starts to get a little confusing so read very carefully.

Chapter 3

Shayla's POV

'How could he say those things to me? I don't even want to see him or talk to him ever. Ok maybe not forever but I can't believe him, I was only trying to help him.' Tears slowly started to make there way down my face, or was that the rain that had started a few moments after I left him. 'I shouldn't have left him their alone. He needs somebody to be with him. No Shayla it was not your choice to leave, he told you to leave.' I heard a sound from behind me and I stopped, scared to turn around and face the person who was trying to sneak up on me. My heart raced, I closed my eyes wishing that I never left Merrick. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I tried to remember what Merrick had taught me, but it had been so many years since I have had to defend myself. I tried to grab whosever hand was on my shoulder, but when I reached up to grab the hand there was nothing there, nothing but my shoulder. I was alone once again, but I still scared. The wind picked up as did the rain, lighting struck more and more every second, the thunder was becoming louder. It felt as if my heart was connected to the thunder, because it was beating so loud. I continued to walk down the path, still nervous that someone was going to jump out at me. 'I'm being silly, I'm on the animarium, nothing bad can happen to me.' I bumped into something and fell to the ground. I felt something try to grab a hold of me and I screamed and tried to fight back.

"Princess…Princess, its ok it's only me."

"Cole," I said as the lighting struck and lit up his face with light.

"Princess, you soaked," Cole took of his jacket and put it on me. "What are you doing out here all alone?"

"I was looking for Merrick?" I said almost shivering; I saw the concern on his face. "I know, I shouldn't have gone out to look for him alone, but I was-"

"I know you're worried about him," Cole looked around them. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. He told me to-," I stopped and looked up at Cole.

"What?"

"Can we go back to the animarium and get warmed up," I looked into his eyes and sighed. "Don't worry I will tell you guys what happened."

Cole nodded as he and I walked down the path to the animarium.

5 minutes later

Merrick's POV

I stood behind a rock, making sure that none of the other rangers could see me. I really didn't feel like dealing with the others rangers, especially after the way I treated Shayla.

"Princess Shayla, Cole, you guys are alright." I saw Alyssa walk over to them and embrace them both in a hug.

"Yeah we heard someone scream, and we thought something bad happened," Taylor said following Alyssa over to Cole and Princess Shayla and also giving them both hugs.

'Why do girls always have to hug each other, and did I just see Taylor show emotion. Wow, she really does have a heart, I never knew.'

"Princess Shayla, were have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere."

'Ah, the flower boy finally speaks, and hear I thought he couldn't talk.' Man that voice is getting really annoying, if only I knew who it was, I would hit him really hard in the face.

"I was out looking for Merrick."

'My Princess' voice so soft that I could barely hear her. How I hated hurting her like I did, but she wouldn't leave it alone. I had to do something, I didn't want to hurt her but I did.'

"Did you find him?"

"Yes."

"Is he ok?"

'Since when did she start caring about my well being?'

"No he's not fine when I found him he-" her voice choked.

'Shayla don't tell them. Please don't betray me again.'

"He was yelling."

"Yelling? At what?"

"That's the point, when I got there; there was no one there except him and me."

'Damn it Shayla."

'She never could keep her mouth shut, could she?'

'Shut up,' I thought as I walked away from where the rangers were talking to my Princess.

'Merrick.'

'What the hell. That's not the usual voice. That sounds like a girl, but the girls don't know I'm here, and even if they did I don't think they would talk to me after what I did.'

'Merrick, please, help me, I'm scared.'

"Who are you?"

'Merrick,' the voice said again only this time it sounded closer. The scenery changed form the animarium to the top of a hill above a corn field. I turned around, only to see a girl about my height, wearing a long gray dress, her long hair was a mixture or dark brown, which was an almost black, and white streaks were in it. Her face was tan like she was always outside. She started to walk closer to me when I noticed her eyes. They were a beautiful green color, but for some odd reason those eyes seemed to remind me of someone, but I couldn't remember who.

'Merrick, help me, please.'

I saw that boy standing there on the hill looking at the girl asking her what's wrong.

'He's after me again, please Merrick, help me.'

"VITALINE,"A voice came booming through the air, as the boy grabbed Vitaline's arm and dragged her into the forest.

'That boy… he has the same name as- Oh god… that boy is me! No this isn't happening, I'm imagining this all. This can't be real; it can't, because Vitaline is dead.' The scenery changed back to the animarium, as I fell to my hands and knees. "How- why- why do I have to go through this again.'

'What's the matter Merrick can't stand to see your sister die because of you?'

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

'Its payback, you're promised your sister you would protect her and keep her secret from the world, but you didn't. You betrayed her, you let her die.'

"No.'

'Once you started protecting you Princess, you betrayed your sister's trust, you didn't protect her, you're the reason Vitaline is dead.'

"NOOOOO!' I had to yell I couldn't take it, the voice was right, I killed her, I didn't protect her, I betrayed her trust.

A/N: Well what's you think… I know it got a little confusing at the end but it was good right. Please review. Thanks again to Darkyami7 for reviewing my story. Hopefully I will be able to thank more of you when you review my story! Till next time .
