Me: One person reviewed me.

VampGirl: You'll live

CJ: You are the only one who ever reviewed my story.

Me: And yet you two are no help.

VampGirl: See if we ever try to help you again

CJ: I may just run away.

Fred: Love will cure

Love will bleed

Love won't exist in me

God will die

God will live

God will see

The only god is me!

Emma peddled her bike through the woods with well practiced ease. She was used to having random animals show up and her mother insisted that she learn how to heal so she was left to handle healing for the most part.

What was different this time was that Frostfire had shown up at her door with worry in her ice blue eyes The wolf had told her that a unicorn was badly hurt and that healing was needed immediately. So the healer hopped on her bike and sped to Ravenswood.

But Frost's recount of what happen couldn't have prepared her for the scene before her. A silvery unicorn lay sprawled across the ground, Ari half buried under the animal, looked up, her silver-blue eyes glazed over in pain.

"Help us," the girl said weakly. Frost burst out from behind Emma. The wolf skidded to a stop beside her pack mate and touched her cold nose to Ari's cheek.

'Hold strong, Ari.' the mistwolf said, gently. The girl reached up with her free hand and buried her finger's in Frost's thick fur.

Emma whipped up her violet and saphire stone, called the empathy stone. She bent and placed her hands on the unicorn's side. The creature's head swung up and her eyes flashed in fear. Ari's hands came up and stroked between the animal's eyes, whispering soothing words while she nodded to Emma to start.

Purple and blue light gently pulsed from the empathy stone. Ari raised her earth stone and sent her own magic to help the healer. Silver-green fire mixed with healing light and spread over the prone form of the unicorn. The animal wickered in fear, Ari's soothing touch the only thing stopping it from running.

At last the magic broke and the unicorn stood. Its silver coat shimmered in the sunlight. She tossed her pale blue mane and her horn sparkled with power. She turned to face Ari. The girl stood and gently stroked the beast's neck. Silent words were said, though Emma could hear none of them. She simply watched the magnificent unicorn standing so proudly in the sun. She smiled.

"Emma? This is Cloud." Ari's calm voice broke through Emma's thoughts. Her green eyes focused on the said unicorn.

'Thank you, healer.' Cloud said, her melodic voice sending chills down Emma's spine.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help. And I'll see you later cause I really must get going."

The healer gave a friendly smile to Ari and Frost before turning to mount her bike and peddle away.

The predator sniffed. Its prey was close. With a growl, it realized that it was healed and would be able to fight. It snarled and swiped with razor sharp claws at a nearby tree. The tree, a sapling, snapped in half, falling with a soft thump. The creature steeled itself. All it had to do was bite its prey again and a feast would be in store. Giving a cry of delight, the predator leapt into a swirling portal and vanished.

She could smell it. It was too close, it would kill her this time. Her new found friend could not help her. Her heart pounded painfully and she tossed her head from side to side, looking for a place to hide. There was nowhere to go.

It closed in, circling her. Feeling cold fear in her heart, she shook her head. She was stronger this time. She was not tired to the point of collapsing. She had full health and powerful magic backing her. But as it came into the moonlight, her brave thoughts were gone and she screamed in fear, running with all her strength.

Ari awoke, cold sweat dripping down her brow. Her earth stone pulsed violently and she knew her dream was real. Just like the last one. Pulling herself out of bed, she stumbled out of her room and down the hallway to the door. The burst of cold air chilled her to the bone but she could not think of that.

"Frost!" Ari called out. She waited a moment for the mistwolf to come running or to have the soothing voice in her head. But the wolf did not come nor answer. "Frost!" she called again with more worry in her voice. No one answered.

Pushing her pack mate to the edge of her mind, she went to Cloud, sensing the unicorn's fear. She could smell it now, the foul stench of dried blood and death. Her lips curled up in a snarl.

She saw a flash of silver and Cloud was beside her, heart beating wildly. Ari raised her earth stone and growled a challenge. The thing came. Its reptillian eyes slitted against the blackness of its scales. She reached out for her balance, for her greatest friend, but there was only a hollow blackness clawing at her. She screamed in pain, falling to her knees. The thing, sensing its opening, attacked the weakened mage.

A snarling black blur leapt over Ari and slamed the thing to the ground. Dreamer stood strong and true, and behind him was Adriane, the warrior's dark eyes falshing in anger.

"Leave now." Adriane snarled. Her wolf stone violently flashed, wolf fire coiling up her arm.

The predator took a step back, growling in defiance, before turning tail and fleeing into the portal it created.

Adriane dropped down beside her daughter, taking the girl's shivering form into her arms. Dreamer whimpered in worry, nudging his adopted niece with his nose. Cloud gently touched her nose to the top of Ari's head. The said girl shuddered.

"I'm sorry Cloud." she said weakly, placing her hand under the unicorn's head.

"What is wrong Ari?" Adriane asked.

"Frost is gone." Ari said in a small voice.

Dreamer lifted his nose. A natural magic tracker, if anyone could find Frostfire, he could. He took forward, as if finding something. He kept going until he nearly disappeared in the darkness. He looked up with sad emerald eyes.

'I'm sorry Arianna. The trail ends here.'

A single tear fell down Ari's cheek. Silently, she walked away into the forest, disappearing among the thick trees. She looked down at her earth stone and found a dull gray stone. She was magicless.

Cloud stood in the portal field, her gentle eyes watching Ari with a look of deep affection. The unicorn put her head over the girl's shouler in a horse hug. Ari wrapped her arms around her friend's neck and embraced the unicorn. It tore her apart to see Cloud go, but the unicorn had to stay on the web and protect Avalon. It was the way things had to be.

'I will always hear you if you need me. We are bound for whatever reason. You heard me in my time of darkness and I will come for you if your need is great enough.'

Cloud bent her head down so her crystal horn touched Ari's earth stone. The jewel pulsed silver-white and stayed swirling as the unicorn backed away.

'Now you will have magic until your mistwolf returns.'

Ari ran her hand over the unicorn's neck in silent thanks. Cloud broke free of the girl's hand and turned into the portal, swirling to life. Rearing, the unicorn whinnied a goodbye. Ari touched her earth stone, pulsing with unicorn magic.

"Goodbye."

Dreamer sat watching his pack mate as she paced, an unreadable look in her black eyes. She sat with a sigh and turned her gaze the wolf. Her tan skin seemed paler than usual and there was evidence that she had not slept well for awhile.

'She will be fine.' Dreamer assured Adriane, 'You survived without Storm for all those months.'

"Yes but I had you. Ari has no one. And there is no explanation for what happened to Frostfire. There is no trace of her; her trail just ends." The warrior sighed and placed her suddenly heavy head in her hands, "You will have to stick close to her until we find Frost. There is no other option."

Dreamer nodded. He reared up and put his paws on Adriane's shoulders. He licked her cheek and touched his cold nose to hers.

'I will protect her. She is like a younger you and besides, she is my wolf niece. The pack defends its own. The pack leader will send wolves to stand by her and more wolves still to find Frostfire.' the black wolf assured his bonded. The warrior wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him as if he might disappear if she let go. If it happened to her daughter's pack mate, could it happen to hers?

Me: I know I took forever in putting this one out but my teachers seem to think that it would be fun to load me with as much school work as possible. Plus I'm sicker than anything. This one is coming out because I stayed home. Please review!
