I don't own Rayearth at all!

Chapter 2: Odd Place, Odd People

Opening their eyes, the girls had to squint because of the bright light. The first one to stand up and really look around was Jacklin. What she saw took her breath away. They were standing in this field of wildflowers with a crystal lake near by. She had never seen anything so beautiful. That is why at first Jacklin mistaken everything for a dream.

Then Kyra and Andra woke up, and cleared things up. First they pinched each other and it hurt, and then Andra slipped in a small pile of water and began to complain about the pain.

"This is unreal. Where are we?" Said an excited Kyra.

"This is what I imagined Cephiro looked like. Just not as beautiful and tranquil. It is just so peaceful. I feel like I could just stay here forever." Spoke Jacklin.

"Well I feel like I need one of those healers our parents told us about. My bum is killing me. That was a hard fall…" But before Andra could keep complaining, they heard a rustle in the bushes moving behind them.

"What is that?" Before there was an answer an almost monstrous wolf jumped out of the bushes. That was not the worst of it. After a few more seconds there were about six more wolves surrounding them, and they looked ready to kill.

Andra, Kyra, and Jacklin stood back to back with each other. "What do we do. We are going to die if we don't defend ourselves." said a panicked Kyra.

"Don't panic. We will not die. We just have to stick together, and fight." Said Jacklin. Just as she finished a large wolf jumped at her. She jumped out of the way and kicked it in the side. It yelped, but stood strait back up. The others had their own defending to do. Then all of a sudden Andra yelled in pain. A dog had grabbed her by the arm.

"No, let her go." Yelled a desperate Jacklin. But it kept dragging the now unconscious Andra away. "No, I won't let you take her. Andra!" That is when it happened. The red glove from the bag began to glow. Jacklin grabbed it, and after slipping it on a red sword appeared in her right hand. Not caring why or how it happened, Jacklin used the things she had been taught and killed the wolf latched onto Andra.

Kyra followed Jacklin's example and slipped on the green glove. A sword appeared in her hand as well, and she assisted in defending the hurt Andra. "We have to stick together. We can't lose Andra, Jacklin!" "I know, we won't. Just keep fighting, don't give up." With that they fought harder and faster. But the monstrous wolves kept coming, and they were getting bigger. Now there were about ten a live, and six dead around them.

"I won't lose you guys. You are my only family left." Yelled a desperate Jacklin. A feeling began to course through her body. One she had never felt before. Words formed in her mouth, "Lights flame!" Out of her left hand came a blinding white fire. The wolves moved backwards and then ran for it.

"What was that?" Asked a stunned Kyra.

"I don't know. But we can figure it out later. We need to help Andra right now. Are you ok?" Kyra had a scratched arm, and Jacklin was a little dizzy from over use of energy, but Andra was in bad shape. Her arm would not stop bleeding. If they did not stop the blood. She would die. As it was her pulse was getting slower and slower.

"Jacklin, we need to get her to a doctor, now. She does not have very long."

"I know, she won't die because we won't let her. We have to stop the bleeding." Jacklin was in tears now, and ready to faint. Worse was that the wolves were returning.

"I won't lose you guys, we are a team, and always have been. Herb Antidote!" With those words small tendrils came out of the ground and covered Andra's wounds. In front of their eyes they began to close up and stop bleeding. But with all of the blood loss, she was still out cold.

"I just did something like you did. Where did that come from?" Then Kyra fainted from loss of energy.

"Kyra! I have to protect you guys. We promised we would be friends forever. You have to hang in there." Jacklin could barely even stand up. Holding her sword was hard. A wolf jumped at her, and she just did not have enough strength to raise her sword. Right before it hit her a lightning bolt toasted it. Everything was becoming blurry fast. A man with a large cape and black hair approached her right before she passed out.

Jacklin woke up in a sleeping bag by a fire. Looking at the fire reminded her of what had happened. She jumped up real quick, and her muscles gave out as the blood rushed to her head. Before hitting the ground the man who had saved her earlier cought her before she fell.

"You should not be standing in your present condition." said the mysterious man.

"Thank you. But where are my two friends?"

"They are still sleeping. One of them suffered blood loss, and the other over exerted her self as you did."

"Well I thank you for saving us from those things, but what is your name. Mine is Jacklin. The one with brown hair is Andra, and the one with green hair is Kyra."

"I am Lantis."

'Nice to meet you. Do you know by any chance where we are?"

"You are in Cephiro of course. In the old new forest. Did you not know that?"

"I am afraid not. You see, Cephiro to me is a bedtime story my mother use to tell me when I was younger."

"You are from another world?"

"Well if this is Cephiro, then yes. We are from Earth. We were in Tokyo Tower when there was a bright light, and then we were by that lake."

"What do you think brought you here?"

"I don't know… wait… I was holding this mirror necklace." Jacklin pulled out the necklace of her mothers.

Lantis put out his hand and she put it in his hand. His eyes showed surprise, "Where did you get this?"

"It was my mother's. She died a week ago. That is why we went to Tokyo Tower. All three of our mothers died at the same time, so we think that they were killed. It has been a hard week. Sorry, you probably don't care to hear about my problems."

"It is alright. I lost my mother too. I have asked you all of these questions, but I am sure you have a few for me as well."

"I am sorry about your mother. But you are right about the questions. During the battle, some strange things happened. The glove I have on my hand. It began to glow, and then there was a red sword in my hand. And stranger still, words came into my head and a white fire shot from my hand."

"Magic."

"What?"

"You can control magic. Where did you learn to wield a sword?'

"All three of us learned from our mother's. They taught us archery and fencing. Though we never did know why. I think we all assumed it was because they loved it so much that they wanted to pass it on to the people they loved. All three of us grew up together. It was a big coincidence when we were three that all of our dads were lost in a car wreck."

"A car?"

"It is this thing from Earth. But what about you. Why did you save us, when you don't even know us?"

"I saw that light. And it reminded me of someone I once knew. What was your mother's name?"

"Hikaru Shidou. Why?"

He thought about it for a second. "No reason, this necklace looks powerful. You should hold on to it. It could protect you one day. You should probably get some sleep. We have a long walk to the palace tomorrow."

"I don't know what this palace is, but I am left with no choice but to trust you. And the thing that scares me, is that I don't mind." With that she laid down, and was almost immediately asleep.

Before Latus fell asleep, he placed the necklace next to the sleeping girl. And fell asleep with a picture of her and a certain red head from years ago in his head.
