As Dyana made her way for the exit, she heard someone call her name. She whirled around to see Mari running towards her, in those high heels of hers. Once she got to Dyana though, she said, "Damn these heels."

"Where the hell have you been?" Dyana demanded.

"Um… I was attacked." Mari lied to her, Though she hated doing so, she knew it was necessary, "Where's Amanda?"

"Well if you were HERE, you'd have known that she took Sora and bolted for the house. Because she was almost KILLED!"

"What?" Mari asked, a wave of guilt rushing over her, "Oh no! Is she okay?"

"She got out with only a gash in her arm, but she's alright." Dyana explained, grabbing Mari's wrist and heading for the door.

"Wait! Where are we going?" Mari asked.

"To help Amanda." Dyana replied.

'We gotta help Yuna, Rikku and Paine first!" Mari announced, putting her foot down. Dyana sighed and agreed. As they charged to help, a mass of little black creatures surrounded them.

"What are they?" Mari asked Dyana, who shrugged.

"I dunno, but I think we'd better use our 'other' powers."

"You mean…?"

"Those ones."

"But Leo…"

"Is not here."

"Exactly!"

"Stop being such a worry wart Mari, we won't die."

"You don't know that…" Mari said, and then reluctantly agreed to Dyana's command. Dyana and Mari stood back to back, and nodding they raised their hands up and closed their eyes. Suddenly, lightning bolts shot out of Dyana's palms and a tidal wave shot out of Mari's eliminating the black creature surrounding them. The two girls stood there for a moment, waiting for the after shock to hit them; but it never did. That's what worried them. They all were inhabited by an elemental spirit, one which lends them it's powers temporarily when they call. But there's a price. It usually drains their energy for a minimal period of time, though it drained a lot. But neither felt the after effects.

"Oh no!" Dyana said, whirling around to Mari, "You don't think…?"

"Amanda must've used her power too." Mari said.

"Which means…" Dyana grabbed Mari's upper arm, yanked her close and said, "Unless you get Yuna, Rikku and Paine within twenty seconds, I will kill you."

"Yikes." Mari said, and nodded.


"No matter what happens, all I need you to do is start running towards Auron's house when you hear me shout and lock the door when you get there." Amanda told Sora, who nodded and went to turn to run. When he did, he heard her shout, and despite the warning she had giving him previously about listening to whatever she said, he glanced back and almost had a heart attack.

Amanda was standing in a fighting position, her arms forced out towards the creatures, and suddenly a gust of wind strong enough to knock over an elephant exploded from her hands, and whipped out the creatures that were attacking. She straightened herself, breathing heavily and suddenly her knees gave out on her, and she fell onto them, still gasping for air. Sora at first didn't know what to do; he was half tempted to run for it when he saw more of those creatures appear; all staring wildly at them both. Sora glanced back at Amanda, to see her slowly rising to her feet, but not fast enough. As the creatures closed in on her, he decided he'd do what he needed. He dashed over to her, grabbed her upper arm, and bolted towards Auron's house, Amanda still in somewhat of a daze.

Upon getting there, Amanda seemed to have finally come out if it and finally realized they were inside Auron's House. She looked around and said, "Dammit I told you to run!"

"I did!" Sora said, "I just ran with you…"

"Ugh men!" Amanda said, throwing her arms up into the air and sighing. She then slipped into her room momentarily to change into a tank and shorts. When she came out, she saw Sora sitting on the couch, waiting for her. Under her arms was a neatly tucked book that was rather large. Sora looked up at her, with worried puppy dog like eyes.

"They weren't after you, were they?" He asked grimly. Amanda walked around his feet and set the book on the coffee table.

"Whadda ya mean?" She asked, not looking at him, for fear she might expose her dumb act.

"Those black creatures. They were after me, weren't they?" He asked, "Just like that man was."

"I can give you credit for being smarter then you seem." Amanda said, trying to lighten up the mood, but found to no avail, that Sora didn't seem like he really cared. Amanda rolled her eyes and sighed, "Yes. They were."

"Why?" Sora demanded suddenly, rising to his feet angrily, "Why the hell me? I'm nothing special! I can't do that weird hocus pocus you do!"

"Hocus… pocus…?" Amanda asked, trying hard not to burst out into a fit of giggles, "Magic."

"WHATEVER! THE POINT IS I'M A NOBODY! WHY THE HELL DO THEY WANT ME?"

"Sit down." Amanda said in a calm and strict voice. Sora looked at her as if she was crazy at first, then he saw the look of seriousness and sorrow in her eyes and sat down. Amanda smiled triumphantly at him before reaching for the book on the table. He watched curiously as she opened the fat book, skimming through the pages. Though the pages were moving fast, he could make out one or two of the words in the pages.

'Warlocks.' 'Spells' Demons' Angels' He wondered what kind of book this was as she finally stopped on a page and flipped the book face down so he couldn't see what page it was on. He looked up at her to see her looking directly at him, right into his eyes.

"You said you're nobody, right?" Amanda said. Sora nodded, "That you not important or magical?" Sora nodded once again. Amanda then pushed the book towards him, and nodded for him to pick it up. He did, and his jaw dropped and his eyes almost fell out of his head. He looked up at her with eyes full of shock and terror as she said, "Your wrong."


DAMN! It's getting good too… HAHA!
