I'm so sorry for taking so long to update! You see, I've been so busy that I barely have time to read and review fics, plus an evil writer's block. Since I haven't updated this fic since May, I've decided to repay you by posting a very long chapter (sorry, Forgotten Love!).
And thanks to all those who reviewed!
VampireNaomi – Hmm... Nope! I really like when the demons team up with the Chans, but that's not going to be my plot. Maybe some demon(s) do it, though. Hee, funny, I think my writing improved a lot too, especially in Portuguese.
Forgotten Love – Wow, thank you! How good that you like the couples! I get really happy when reading your reviews! Hehe, you remind me of how much I wished that Ni Tang could have been turned into a real season, but that's kind of impossible because it's an AU... -.-"
kke – Sorry for the delay, here's the next chapter. Well, Tso Lan will explain that in this chapter. Thank you for reviewing!
Hellblaze – Really? Wow, I thought everyone would prefer her with Jack! I think you'll like chapter 25, since you liked the characters as kids.
Oh my, completely unable to write action scenes in English. The bad point about having an original version which is four chapters ahead of the translation is that when I read these "old" chapters, I think the writing is bad. Just to make things worse, this chapter was coincidentally written right after a writer's block.
Chapter 22: Battle in the Cemetery
All the rest of the J-Team and Jack rushed to the room and were shocked.
"What's the meaning of that?!" Viper asked while pulled her son to protect him.
"Jackieee! Do something!" Uncle ordered.
"But... what am I supposed to do?"
"Enough! I'll go after Julia!" Valmont snapped and went out through the window.
"Hey, come back here, you!" Bai Tsa demanded going after him.
"Wait for me!" Hsi Wu shouted flying up to go after them too, but Uncle caught him by his tail.
"You are not going anywhere, demon." the old man said glaring at him while Hsi tried to escape. "Jackie! Go after them! Now!"
Jackie nodded, though still a bit confused, and left through the window.
Finn, Ratso and Chow were sitting at the bar, drinking.
"I think we should look for them. Something serious might have happened." Chow said in worry.
"Yeah, this way we'll have to look for another work..." Ratso added deep in thought. Finn stood up and walked to the bar's exit, while the other two glanced at each other and then to him again.
"Where are you going?" Chow wanted to know.
"Let's call to the mansion one more time. If it's no use again, then we'll have to come up with a plan or something like that." the Irish man decided and Ratso couldn't help but smile, while Chow did not change his expression. He stood up and turned to Ratso when he was about to stand up too.
"Pay the check." Chow said before leaving and Ratso stared at the ground. The barman looked seriously at him, obviously demanding the money. The Italian enforcer searched all his pockets and then smiled weakly.
"Can you leave that for my credits...?"
"It's a waste of time to call him again. We need a new plan." Chow tried while the duo left the bar and Ratso followed them with a lost heart expression. They three stopped in the middle of the pavement and Finn looked at his companion in annoyance.
"What do you suggest, then?" he asked in a mocking tone.
"I don't know, but have you already thought that maybe they're not there in the mansion anymore?"
Finn slapped his forehead and took a deep breath.
"But that's exactly what I've been telling you the whole week! Valmont and Julia could be anywhere right now!" he said and suddenly was run over by something. "What was that?" he asked raising his head from the ground and they stared openmouthed at a glowing Julia running faster than they thought it was possible for a little girl.
"Hey, isn't that Julia?" Ratso asked, but before someone could answer Finn was run over by someone that stepped on his back. This time, Chow and Ratso were even more surprised.
"Valmont?!"
"Big V?" Finn said raising his head again and the crime lord stopped when hearing his name.
"You?!" he asked turning to look at his henchmen.
"Why are you mini again?" Chow asked pointing at his boss, who remembered something.
"Not now, I have to catch up Julia!" he said turning to chase her again and the three men turned around when they heard an angry shout.
"Come back here, you two! Come back!" a little girl yelled and also stepped on Finn.
"Oww!"
"Should we go after them?" Ratso asked unsure while Finn got up all sore.
"I don't see any demon around. This seems to be the perfect opportunity." Chow pointed out.
"Then what are we waiting for? C'mon!" Finn finally decided after recomposing and they ran after then three children.
"Uncle, what are you going to do to him?" Jade asked concerned, watching how Hsi Wu struggled to take flight.
"Keep the sky demon in a safe place until Uncle has time to think of what to do." Uncle replied.
"What happened, Yade? Why are you children again?" Paco asked kneeling down to look at her.
"I don't know, it was a mess in that room and Julia began to shine... I had no idea she could do that sort of thing."
"Hmm... I had something very important to say, but that will have to wait. We have to turn you and Captain Black back to normal." Uncle stated.
"That's right! We have to find Valmont's daughter and force her to turn us back to adults! And then arrest her and her father." Black said opening the door and left.
"Aiyaah! Magic must defeat magic!" Uncle snapped and Viper sighed.
"Maybe we should help Jackie." she said and the old man nodded.
"You go, but Tohru comes with me." he said taking a blue suitcase from a closet. "And you stay here!" He pushed Hsi Wu into the suitcase and closed it. Jade raised a brow.
"Come on, Yade! Let's go!" Paco called as Viper and El Toro left the room, but Jade sighed sickly.
"I'll stay here... I'm not feeling very well..." she said sounding tired and sat on the bed.
"I see. It must have been a very tiring day for you." the young man said and turned to glance at Uncle. "I'll go with them."
Uncle nodded and Paco rushed out the room.
"Tohru, Jade, Jack! Reseaaaarch!"
After running for almost the whole city, Julia finally stopped when she saw an ice cream parlor. She entered it and ran away some seconds later. The man who was selling the ice creams tried to catch her, but due to the Hun Yu jewel, she was very fast.
Few blocks away, Valmont stopped to get his breath back and Bai Tsa stopped beside him, not tired at all.
"You are so weak."
"Shut up! It's hard to run in the pavement without shoes!"
"You better watch your tone, or I shall-" she stopped when Valmont ignored her and began to run again. "Hey, I'm talking to you! You must listen to me!"
"For how long will they keep running?" Chow asked panting, as well as his two companions.
"Can't... run... anymore..." Finn murmured almost stopping running.
"Hey, guys... Don't you recognize this place?" Ratso asked and the other two men glanced around themselves.
Now Julia was not running, but cheerfully walking, eating her ice cream.
"Smashing. I never felt so great." she said in victory, and then stopped when she saw something on the other side of the street, and dropped her ice cream. Julia stared at the black gate, looking slightly disturbed. She crossed the street and floated so that she would not have to pass through the bars of the gate. Bai Tsa and Valmont arrived on time to see her.
"I can't believe... she stopped... it's about time..." he murmured breathless and Bai Tsa observed the gate in interest.
"Why has she gone there?" the water demon asked and Valmont seemed to have realized something.
"That place is..."
Julia just stood there in front of a grave, looking at it gloomily.
"Mom..." Julia murmured, starting to cry.
"What's she doing? What's this place?" Bai Tsa kept asking and Valmont lowered his head.
"It's the cemetery where her mother was buried..." he answered quietly and Bai's expression was slightly different. She was about to say something, but he spoke first.
"May I talk to her?"
Bai Tsa was a bit surprised that for the first time he had bothered to ask her permission. Even though she was a demon sorceress, she had felt sorry when her mother had died. She never let anybody know of her feelings, she had her pride too.
"You may go." she replied shrugging. "But I shall keep an eye on you."
The crime lord did not say anything else, and passed though the bars of the gate.
"I knew it." Finn said shaking his head. He and the other two enforcers were watching Valmont and the water demon from the other side of the street when Jackie caught them up.
"...You...?!"
"Shh, this is very serious." Ratso said and the archeologist looked at the cemetery's gate. He saw the water demon in front of it and frowned. Then he decided to turn the block over to enter the cemetery on the other side.
"Why did you have to leave me...? And it was all his fault!" Julia muttered clenching her fists and felt that someone was approaching.
"Julia..."
"Don't touch me!" the girl snapped moving away from Valmont when he tried to place his hand on her shoulder.
"Julia, why do you keep blaming for that? I didn't do anything!"
"Exactly! You could have done something, but you didn't!"
"What did you expect me to do? I don't have healing powers. I couldn't have done nothing to help her."
"You disgust me. A real man would admit his fault. I could never stand the idea of having a father like you!"
"Are you going to start that again?! Why can't you see the truth and live your own life instead of tormenting me?"
A glowing signal appeared on Julia's forehead as she tried to keep her self-control.
"I hate you." she muttered. The signal's glow became stronger as her rage increased. "I hate you!"
"Julia-"
"Shut up!" She punched him in the face, making him fall to the ground. She then realized that now that she was older, taller and stronger than him, she could finally fight him. She smirked and slowly approached him. He got up aware of what she was thinking and backed away few steps.
"Julia... you wouldn't fight against me..."
She snorted. "Why not? That's all I have always wanted."
"I will not fight you!"
"Good. Thus it will be even easier to me." She tried to hit him again, but this time he was ready and managed to dodge it.
Bai Tsa stared confused at the scene. Human beings were always very sentimental, especially with family. She had never imagined that would see someone fighting against her father with so much hatred. And now when that little had the power of the Hun Yu jewel, she was really dangerous. Bai Tsa frowned and nodded determined. She would not let a little girl kill her slave. He was her property and only she had the right to have his life in her hands.
Jackie nimbly leaped to climb up the wall and landed on his feet inside the cemetery. He ran as fast as he could and stopped when he noticed the fight between Julia and Valmont.
Meanwhile, Viper, El Toro and Captain Black arrived at where Finn, Ratso and Chow were still staring without being able to really see what was happening. That was not necessary, though. They could guess where this was going.
"The Dark Hand?!" Black shouted in surprise and the three men turned to look at him.
"You're..." Chow said frowning.
"No way! Captain Black!" Finn finished and Ratso burst out laughing.
"Stop laughing! This is not funny!"
"Ratso, how can you laugh in a situation like this?" Finn scolded elbowing him.
"Sorry..." the Italian man said rubbing the back of his head.
"Where's Jackie?" Viper asked glancing at her surroundings and Finn pointed at the cemetery.
"He's there. But you better not go there now."
Tchang Zu was impatiently walking from one side to the other. He hated to wait, and it was even more frustrating after the failure of their ambush.
"They left for a good while already. Why are they taking so long to return?"
"Bai Tsa's slave was badly injured, those things take time." Tso Lan said to calm him. Tchang snorted and after a while stooped to think about something.
"Perhaps something serious has happened to them." he said with a low tone and raised his glance, eying his siblings who were seated on sofas and also waiting for the others. "Shendu!" he suddenly shouted, causing his siblings to wake up from their thoughts.
"Uh? Me?" the fire demon asked still a little confused and Tchang Zu nodded, then pointed at him.
"That girl is your slave, and she has the power of the Hun Yu jewel. She is your responsibility, and if she joined forces with the other humans, you shall pay for that!" he threatened and Shendu surprisingly calmly stood up.
"I assure you she would not do such thing."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I just know it." the dragon answered looking away deep in thought, and his oldest brother narrowed his eyes.
"Then prove it and go look for them!"
Shendu nodded and left. Dai Gui and Xiao Fung were not paying attention and were the ones who looked relaxed, while Po Kong and Tso Lan were very concerned. They were not worried for the same reason as Tchang Zu, but about that mysterious dark chi explosion. They knew what could happen when it came to be that dimension. They also knew that Shendu, even being one of the youngest ones, was aware of that and worried as well.
Shendu took his human form and ran towards the direction where he felt the presence of the Hun Yu jewel. He did not even notice that when he passed for a dark alley, a figure smiled evilly while watched his movements.
Julia hit her father with a flying kick and Valmont fell to the ground. Before he could get up, she aimed her palm at him and began to shine. All that energy was concentrated in her palm, forming a chi sphere.
"Let's put an end to this once and for all." she said narrowing her eyes and when she was about to attack him, someone kicked her in the face. The energy ended up hitting a tree behind Valmont and the girl fell some meters away.
"Don't dare to kill a slave of mine! I am the one who can decide if he must live or die!" Bai Tsa stated standing between Julia and Valmont, facing the girl.
Julia calmly got up and did not show any sign of pain. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked seriously at the water demon in her true form.
"I wasn't going to kill him, just make him suffer more than ever." she replied coldly. Bai Tsa frowned and snorted.
"You are crazy! Or maybe that Hun Yu jewel is affecting your brain."
"So you want to fight for him? How pitiful, I though you were smarter. You can't defeat me. Now I'll destroy both of you."
"What? You say I cannot defeat you?" Bai Tsa confirmed clenching her fists angrily. Then, a sly smirk played on her face. "You are so arrogant."
"No, wait!" Valmont shouted, but none of them paid him any attention.
"You insolent fool!" Bai Tsa yelled charging at Julia, but someone stopped her by grabbing her tail.
"I would not do it if I were you." Shendu in his human form said.
"Shendu? What do you think you are doing?" the water demon asked while struggled to be released. The dragon threw her next to Valmont and glanced at Julia.
"I know how hard is to have someone tormenting you all the time, but you must stay calm. Or else the Hun Yu jewel will be corrupted, and so will you." he said to Julia. She glanced at him and smiled.
"Come on, are you going to tell me that you are dying to give your older sister a trouncing?"
Shendu looked at Bai Tsa for a while, deep in thought.
"How right you are right."
"Jade, Jack! You two make tea while we do research." Uncle said when as they approached his shop.
"Yes, Uncle..." the two youngsters answered with no enthusiasm.
"Uncle, can we enter the shop with Hsi Wu?" Jade asked pointing at the blue suitcase that Tohru was carrying and Uncle thought for a brief moment.
"No. In this case, you and Jack must take the sky demon to Section 13..." He began to search for something in his bag. "...and cast this potion in his cell." he said taking a small bottle with a green liquid and handing it over to Jade. "After that you come to the shop and make tea."
"No problem, dear Uncle." Jade said smiling slyly. The group stopped in front of shop and Tohru handed the suitcase over to Jack.
"And don't take too long! Hurry!" Uncle snapped before entering the shop followed by his pupil.
"This is too easy." Jade murmured to herself.
"What did you say?" Jack asked raising a brow. He knew very well that expression of hers and that was not good.
"Nothing. C'mon, c'mon! To Section 13!" she said cheerfully, gently pushing the boy.
Tchang Zu's eyes glowed red as he impatiently looked at the window. It began to thunder outside and it seemed that a storm was coming. His siblings eyed him in a slight fear, as if the change of the weather was directly linked to the thunder demon, and that was never a good signal.
"What's taking them so long?" he asked again, punching the wall. He turned to look at his siblings and pointed at them. "All of you! Come with me!" he ordered.
"What?! We have to go too?" Xiao Fung asked not liking the idea.
"Yes! Come on, move!"
"Why are you looking at me like that, Shendu? Don't tell me you want to fight me?" Bai Tsa asked in a provoking tone, crossing her arms rather amused.
"Why not? You always abused me, and now I have the chance to get my revenge."
"You insolent! I shall teach you not to disrespect an elder sister!" Bai Tsa charged at him and he easily stopped her by just placing his hand on her forehead and pushing it. She tried to go on to hit him, but completely failed and could just give up, breathless.
"You are pathetic, my sister." Shendu commented in amusement and she jumped back, clenching her fists angry.
"Fool! You think that just because you are bigger than me you can defeat me, but you are so very wrong! I'll kill you!" she threatened pointing at him and Shendu just shrugged.
"Then try, if you can." he challenged. She slowly approached him and kicked him in the shin. He screamed in pain and knelt down to press his hands against his shin.
He then glared at her, his eyes glowing red.
"Why, you- Now I shall kill you!" he shouted charging at her. He did not even bother to take his true form for that.
"Come, I am not afraid of you!" she shouted back also jumping forward to attack him, and the two demons began to fight, despite their difference of size. Bai Tsa's advantage was her agility.
Valmont stepped back while watched the fight and would have run away if Julia had not suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"J-Julia... how did you get here so fast?" he asked in surprise and she smiled.
"We still have a fight to finish." she said. Now two fights were happening at the same time in the cemetery. Valmont's enforcers and the J-Team just watched them, considering if they should interfere or not.
Jade and Jack hurried into Section 13 and ran until they met Captain Black's children in the corridor.
"Vinicius! Alice!" Jack called and they turned to see him.
"Jack, who's your new friend?" Vinicius asked.
"Vinicius, it's me! Jade!"
"Jade?!" the twins shouted in confusion at the same time.
"Hurry! We need to arrest the wind demon!" Jack said pointing at the blue suitcase he was carrying and Jade frowned.
"That's the sky demon! Duh!" she corrected and he shrugged, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever. Who cares? They're all the same."
Jade clenched her fists and suppressed the desire to beat him up. Alice and Vinicius glanced at each other and then to the other two children.
"Uh... I have no idea of what you're talking about, but if you want to keep that suitcase somewhere, feel free to use our vaults." the red-haired boy said still a bit confused and Jade grabbed the suitcase from her cousin's hands.
"Yep, that's exactly what I'm going to do!" she said walking towards the vaults, still looking at them three children and smiling cynically. "Uhn, Jack, you better go to Uncle's shop now! We don't want him to get all cranky because you didn't make his tea, right? Oh, take Vinicius and Alice with you!" she said and turned around to quicken her pace.
She ran as fast as she could and went in a random room. Fortunately, nobody was there. She sighed and opened the suitcase.
"Ow, it's about time." he complained rubbing his head. When Jade got up, she groaned and seemed to have lost her balance for a moment. "Are you all right?" he asked and she forced a smile.
"Yeah, just tired." she said and sat down. Hsi Wu relaxed a bit and observed the whole room.
"Where are we?" he asked flying up and landed on a table to obtain a better sight.
"In Section 13." Jade answered.
"Section 13?" he repeated frowning and Jade smiled.
"Oh, yeah. I think you don't know it. Well, it's the place where we keep the talismans."
"True, I think Shendu mentioned it once." he said in though and flew again, this time landing in front of her. "Well, that is not important. Let's go to my siblings, I'm sure they can turn us back to normal." he proposed and Jade raised a brow.
"I have a better idea." she said and the sky demon's smile died. "Let's go to Uncle's shop, he must have found a spell to do it already."
"If you don't remember, I cannot enter that shop." Hsi Wu said seriously.
"Then I invite you."
He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I don't think your uncle will help me, but perhaps he finds a good idea to banish me to another dimension."
"Tch! He won't know you're there! He will turn me back to adult, I learn how to do it and when nobody is looking I'll turn you back to normal."
"I don't think it's-"
"Ow!" she suddenly screamed, holding her stomach.
"What is it?" he asked alarmed and she tried to look calm."
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Really? You don't look fine."
"But I am... Look, how about you go to your siblings and I go to Uncle, then?" she suggested making an effort to stand up and Hsi shook his head.
"I'm not going to leave you alone, Jade. You are not feeling well."
"I'll be fine! This probably is some sort of side effect caused by Julia's magic. Whatever it is, Uncle will help me."
Hsi Wu hesitated for a while, but reluctantly nodded.
"All right, then I'll get you later." He glanced around himself and tilted his head. "But how am I going to get away from here without attracting attention? Even if I take my human form, the agents will suspect of a strange child in a secret base."
"Hmm... I know it! The ventilation duct! It's an easy way, I always did that when I was a kid."
The sky demon glanced at her, smiling.
"Then it was a long time ago. I wonder if you still remember how to do it."
"Are you calling me old?"
He laughed and flew up to the ventilation duct, and Jade looked angry at him before laughing too."
Valmont managed to him Julia and she fell to the ground. Before she could do anything, he jumped onto her and pressed her shoulders against the ground.
"Enough, Julia! Stop that!" he demanded and she used her feet to push him and get him off her. She got up and now Valmont's expression was really serious. He took a fighting position, which made her slit her eyes. "I've tried not to hurt you, but you don't give me any choice. I have to put an end to this and then take you to someone who can exorcize whatever is possessing you." He began to attack his daughter and she noticed that now his moves were much faster and his blows much more stronger.
"Blast!" she muttered and he grabbed her right wrist. She tried to punch him with her free hand, but he also grabbed her left wrist. "Grrr! Get away from me!!" she yelled and her body began to glow. That glow spread for about fifty meters along with an energy that was causing a gale and blowing everyone near there and even breaking some fragile trees.
Obviously, the fight between Shendu and Bai Tsa was interrupted. Everybody's eyes were obscured by the strong light and only after some minutes everything was normal again. The demons were the first ones to get their sight back, and glanced in confusion around themselves.
Jackie had been blown away from the cemetery, and when opened his eyes he found himself inside a bakery, on the counter. He guessed that his back should be hurting because he had just ended up there though the window, breaking the pane. The people at the bakery were all lying in the ground covering their heads.
"What was that?" someone asked. Jackie got up and stared at the cemetery.
It had not been any different with the J-Team. They had been blown away too, and each one ended up in a different place. Captain Black was in the middle of the street, and Viper had to run to save him from being run over by a car. El Toro and Paco also recovered rapidly and turned to stare at the cemetery that now was a bit far away.
Valmont opened his eyes and noticed he was in a tree. Thanks to it, he had not ended up far away and still could see the two confused demons. He carefully observed his surroundings, and knowing that the cause of the explosion had been Julia, he guessed she was still around. He did not see her anywhere, though.
He then came to the conclusion that she should be looking for him. After seeing her powers again, perhaps it was not such a good idea to face her. Besides, the demons looked so confused that they would not even remember him. This was the perfect opportunity to run away, thus he would finally be free again.
The white-haired boy jumped from the tree and landed on his feet. He gave three steps back still watching the demons to make sure they did not see him. After that, he turned around and ran.
"What just happened here?" Bai Tsa wondered.
"I think Julia used the power of the Hun Yu jewel again." Shendu answered thoughtful and she frowned.
"It is too much power for a little girl, we should stop her." she said and the dragon narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"Don't you find it strange?" he asked.
"Of course it's strange! A human child stronger than us is an absurd!"
"No, I'm talking about that explosion!" he snapped.
"Oh, that is not strange. It happened once, and at least this time we did not turn into anything."
"No, but..." He paused. "Where is Julia?"
Bai Tsa also looked for her and placed her hand on her hips.
"I don't know. Why?"
"Don't you understand? If she caused the explosion, she should still be here!"
"Hmm... I see your point." she replied crossing her arms and after a while she seemed to have remembered something. "Hey, where is my slave?"
"Who cares about him, we have to know what exactly happened here! This can be serious!"
"It is serious! I lost my slave because of your slave, so you are responsible! It's all your fault!"
"My fault?"
"It was you who let her possess the Hun Yu jewel, and now she does not stop causing trouble!"
They were about to fight again when a familiar voice interrupted them.
"Hey!"
The two siblings turned to the direction where the voice came from to see the rest of their siblings and Valmont, who was being held by his shirt in the back side by Dai Gui.
"Lost something?" Po Kong asked pointing with her thumb at Valmont, while he struggled to be released.
"My slave!"
Everyone's glances were focused on her.
"Bai Tsa, what happened to you and your slave?" Xiao Fung asked.
"It was that Julia! She turned me into a child and now she's gone!" the water demon yelled.
"The girl must have lost her control on the jewel and its power was activated, fulfilling her wishes or materializing her thoughts. Since that power is not total yet, I think I can turn you back to normal." Tso Lan explained.
"Where's the girl?" Tchang Zu wanted to know, visibly furious, which made Bai Tsa and Shendu flinch.
"I- I... don't know..." they answered nervously and their oldest brother's eyes glowed dangerously.
"Calm down, Tchang Zu. There is no point in worrying about that now, it is all right. We must return to our hideout and make an antidote for them." Tso Lan said.
"Not yet, we have to find Hsi Wu first!" Xiao Fung reminded.
"Brother and sisters!" a voice called and everyone looked upward to see the sky demon flying above them.
"I think that's not necessary anymore." Bai Tsa remarked.
Julia opened her eyes a little dizzy and when her sight was normal again she found herself being carried by a very agile and fast woman who nimbly leaped from a roof to another.
"Who are yo-" she could not finish her question when the woman, whose face she could not see yet, pressed her hand against Julia's mouth.
"Silence, child. Now you must obey me." the woman said and landed on the ground, in front of some wreckages of a former building under construction.
Finn barely could see his companions, but could hear them and knew by his voices that they were all right. He had no idea of what had happened. After they saw Valmont again nothing more made sense. Now they just knew that they had been blown away by a energy and ended up buried by the wreckages of a building.
"Finn, I think we found a way!" Ratso announced and Chow helped him to move away a metal plate. Finn followed their voices and also helped to move away the plate. When they got it and could see light again, they sighed in relieve. However, that light was covered by a shadow. They looked up at the figure in front of them and widened their eyes when seeing Julia with her mouth covered by the figure's hand and trying to break free.
"Who are you?" Finn asked carefully and the woman smiled. She had white but slightly tanned skin, and her hair and her eyes were brown. She was wearing a pink and red Chinese dress, and looked very coldly at them.
"I think you three will do."
To be continued...
