Aiya walked into the empy gym. Apparenyly,this was her next class.She looked around in wonder.

"Wow. This is so primative." She gasped.Nothing but a large room with mats, ropes, and shiny wooden floors.

She looked around before reaching into her purse and pulling out the mirror again. She mumbled the same spell she had in the bathroom,and once again Pugsley appeared.

He looked happy,but his face immediately fell."Oh. It's you, the disrespectful,impudent,bratty..."

"Honestly,Pugley,name calling? You aren't proving me wrong yet." she smugly smiled,enjoying Pugsley's frustration.

He glared at her."Ooooh, I am not immature if that is what you are implying! And it's Pugsly!There's and S! GET IT RIGHT!" He yelled,his dry green skin turning all sorts of red. She laughed.

"And now you mock me! Well! I shall simply have to tell the Master about this! See if he doesn't make you pay with your life!" he yelled. Aiya immediately stopped smiling.

"You wouldn't do that." she spoke.

"Oh,yes. and what makes you think I wouldn't."

"Because I know for a fact that if he found out you were going to blackmail me with Him, He wouldn't take your life,but let you die a slow painful death in the worst of his dungeons." she narrowed her eyes.

Pugsley blinked.

"And if you're done with your meaningless chatter,I believe I have some news for you." she spoke seriously.

"Well,out with it,child,what is it?" he fiddled with his hands impatiently.

"Well,disposing of the Halfa might be easier than expected." Aiya beamed,"In fact, I believe the Master will want the pleasure of disposing of him Itself."

"And you really think you're right about that?"

"Yes. In fact, Master can dispose of him at the peak of his misery in the war."

"You see!" Pugsley shrieked."This is why the Master didn't make a mere foolish child his assistant! Do you really think he'd send you over to the human realm to kill the Halfa if he wanted to do it himself! Do you dare to challenge the Master's intelligence with such an..illogical theory! This is why I have the position that I do,and not you! You stupid,foolish girl!"

"Why don't you try saying that to me while I'm there in your realm?" Aiya yelled back,"I dare you to when you know full well that I can kick your--"

"Who are you talking to?"

Aiya gasped,and quickly stuffed the mirror into her purse.She turned to face the girl who had asked her the question.

Paulina.

"Better yet,who were you yelling at?" the brunette studied her quizzcally.

"Nobody." Aiya spoke kindly.

"Ah. So you were talking to yourself then?" she gave a fake smile."In that case,it's a good thing you're friends with Danny,Tucker,and Sam. Because they're all weird. But it looks like they've finally found a freak:You."

Aiya glared at her."How dare you speak to me that way!"

"Oh,I'm sorry.And you're going to do what?" she smirked.

Aiya glared at her,and slowly,her eyes turned to a glowing dark red.

"So,what do you think of Aiya?" Danny asked as the three waked through the crowd to the water fountain,where they always stopped between classes.

"She's great! I'm so glad you found her!" Tucker sighed,a dreamy look on his face. Sam rolled her eyes.

"She's ok. But I wouldn't trust her just yet."

"Why not?" Danny and Tucker spoke together.

"Because, we've only known her for an hour and a half.An hour and a halfof which we were in class and couldn't talk to her."

"So?"

Sam opened her mouth to speak. But she was cut off by the sound of a shriek. Better yet, a scream.

Sam ran towards the gym,Danny and Tucker following suit. She burst through the doors and gasped. Paulina was on the floor. Her hair was a mess. Her clothes were ripped, and charred. And she had burn marks on her. She was trembling and pale. Aiya held her in her arms.

"What happened?" Tucker asked.

"I just heard her scream and came in here." Aiya shook her head."She told me somebody came in here and started to beat her. And now she's talking crazy. She's saying stuff about a ghost trying to kill her.

Danny,Tuck and Sam exchanged looks.

"I'll...be right back" Danny said.He left the room,and went ghost. Sam and Tuck turned their attention back to Paulina. She was whimering,and babbling.

"I--then she..it burned...tried to kill--ghost...amh..."

Sam actually felt sorry for her. She knealt down to look at the burns.They definetly just happened. Danny walked back into the gym. He whispered to the two,"I looked around the whole school. There were no ghosts anywhere."

"They must be very fast." Tuck sadi.

"Thank you, captian obvious."Sam rolled her eyes.

They turned back to Aiya and Paulina.

"She said the ghost wanted to kill her. It attacked her, then left. She said it's name was...um,whay did she say..."vlad"...or something like that?"

Paulina looked at Aiya,babbling and trembling. She stuttered. She was trying to speak.

"N-nnnn.n-nn-n...n-nuh-nuh-nuh...no." she whispered. They all looked at her."No...NO!" she screamed. She struggled to get Aiya off of her. Aiya let go. Danny and Sam helped her up. She pointed an accusing finger at Aiya.

"It was YOU! YOU DID THIS!YOU DID THIS TO ME!YOU!IT"S ALL YOU!YOU REALLY ARE A FREAK! YOU DID IT! YOUR EYES TURNED RED AND THEN YOU WERE A DARK MIST AND...YOU! YOU DID THIS!YOU DI---" She sighed and passed out in Danny's arms. He picked her up. They all looked at Aiya.

"I-it wasn't me." she whimpered,"I don't even know what she's talking about.I--"

"It's ok, we know." Tucker cut in. "Paulina's probably just disorientd right now. We'd better get her to the nurse."

"Yeah.We'll see you later." Danny said.He walked out of the gym,followed by Tuck. Sam followed. She cast a final glance at Aiya before shutting the door.

Aiya grinned and pulled out her mirror. Pugsley stared at her,appalled."I must say...very well done. Yes, you're right. This legendary halfa is going to be a very easy task after all. Splendid. The Master will be most pleased."

Aiya smirked,"I know." she twirled in a circle.

"Come part 2 of the plan, Danny will be as good as dead."
