Amanda, Mari, Dyana, Sora, Yuna, Rikku, Paine and Tidus all loaded into the ferry boat an hour later. Spell safely tucked away within her pocket, Amanda felt a lump arise within her. Something didn't feel right. When they had pulled out the scry and map, they didn't even have to lift the scry before it pin pointed a location on a tiny island not to far from the central island. Though she fought tooth and nail with them, both Mari and Dyana agreed now was the time to strike. As the boat jerked to a start, she felt herself lurch forward, startled by the sudden movement. Her eyes darted around the boat to see if anyone had noticed, and, assuming that no one did, she watched as the boat glided across the water, towards the island with what APPEARED to be a boat built onto it. She reviewed the plan over and over again in her head, not wanting this to go horribly wrong.

Okay, we chant the spell, it fixes them. If that fails, we vanquish them wheither or not Sora likes it. Okay. Why am I so jumpy?

"What's up with you?" Dyana's voice asked her from behind, causing her to jump. She whirled around to see Dyana standing in front of her, her hands placed on her hips.

"Nothing. Nothing. Nothing." Amanda spat out, and then smiled sheepishly. Dyana gazed at her skeptically, before asking her, "Um hello, best friend here. I know you, Amanda. You're usually not THIS jumpy. What the hell is up with you?"

"Dyana something isn't right!" Amanda said, causing Dyana to sigh and roll her eyes.

"C'mon Amanda! Haven't you given up on that?"

"No I haven't!" Amanda snapped, "Something deep inside of me is telling me this is all wrong! We shouldn't be doing it like this!"

"If it was wrong, why hasn't Mari had a premonition?" Dyana challenged her. Amanda knew instantly that Dyana had won.

"Well. I don't know…" Amand admitted sheepishly though she hated to do so, 'But I still don't…"

"Enough Missy!" Mari said, walking up to Dyana and Amanda, "There will me no more talk of your weird feeling, okay?"

"Fine!" Amanda said, crossing her arms over her chest, "But when you two are in a life threatening situation, don't expect my aim to be perfect…"

"Hey! Are you threatening to blow up us Missy?" Mari asked, elbowing Amanda in the arm.

"Never…" Amanda said, pretending she was innocent. All three girls laughed at the joke, and returned back to their separate corners of the boat, waiting for the boat to stop at their destination.

"We ready?" Amanda asked the group as the Ferryman drove away. Everyone nodded. Amanda then turned to Sora and said, "If our spell doesn't work…"

"I know." He replied, "I get it."

"Just checking." Amanda said, whirling around on her heel and walking off, leaving the gang to run off after her.

Fifteen minutes later, and not a single living being in sight, and they had all just did a 360 around the island. Stopping to rest near the tiny waterfall, the group of young teens collapsed with irritation.

"Are you SURE the scry pointed to THIS island!" Amanda hissed at Mari, who was laying on her back.

"YES! I'm sure!" Mari replied shrilly, "Positive."

"Then why the hell haven't we seen anyone yet?" Paine asked her, seated next to Yuna. Rikku lay sprawled out on the opposite side, while Tidus looked like he was sleeping.

"Well…" Mari thought, nervously trying to make up an excuse.

"Well Mister Islander," Amanda said, looking directly at Sora, who was staring off into the distance, to the left of where the waterfall began, "Either your with us, or your not."

Sora shot his gaze to her, almost as if he didn't quite hear her. He seemed distracted by something, and Amanda had a pretty good hunch what it was.

"Huh?" He said, trying to gather his thoughts.

"I asked if your with us or not." Amanda said, "Because there HAS to me more places to hide then this, I mean, it's such a small island… with LOTS of trees and club houses, it's only make sense. So either your with us, or your stuck waiting for us. Either is fine with me." Amanda said.

Everyone watched intently as Sora pushed himself to his feet and walked silently over to a near palm tree. Dyana and Mari exchanged nervous glances as they waited five long minutes for Sora's reply.

He turned around suddenly, his blue eyes flaming with a determination the likes of no one had seen before.

"I'm with you." He said, "Over there… that's the Secret Spot. Where me, Kairi and Riku used to play all the time when we were younger. 99.9 percent change their in there." He pointed to the area where he had been staring at previously. The group all shot up and nodded.

"Let's go!" Mari said, while marching towards the Secret Spot. Yuna, Paine, Rikku, Tidus and Dyana were right on her tail. Amanda went to follow, but turned her head briefly to see Sora hesitate to follow.

"You did the right thing." She said suddenly, causing him to look at her oddly. She whirled around on her heel and started off after her friends, Sora close on her tail.

"How much longer?" Mari moaned as the gang traveled down a LONG pathway.

"It was never this long before…" Sora said, touching the walls as they went.

"Diffidently magic then." Dyana said, her head faced in the direction she thought Amanda was in.

Before they all knew it, they were in a rocky area, with cave art and vines everywhere. There was a door straight ahead of them, but when Amanda went to push it open, it remained bolted shut.

"Well this was a bust." Amanda said as she crossed her arms over her chest and watched as Mari examined all the art work on the walls excitedly, with a equally excited Rikku at her side.

"This isn't right…" Paine said, walking up to the door and feeling the wood.

"That's the door to the heart of this world." Sora replied, "But I dunno-"

Suddenly he was cut off by the sound of movement within the vines.

"We're not alone." Amanda said, "Get ready guys!"

The group of young teenagers prepared themselves as a figure in black appeared. Amanda ripped out the spell from her back pocket, and though the area they were in was pitch black, Amanda, Dyana and Mari recited the spell by heart.

"Let freedom come to innocent's lives.

Consumed and tortured by horrific lies!

We call upon the ancient power,

In this time and in this hour!

Give them the salvation they need,

Set the horrified and tortured free!"

Suddenly Mari gasped and she was over taken by the case of the chills. Amanda and Dyana waited for the demon to explode into flames, but instead Sora shouted as he plummeted down into a hole of darkness created by the robed man.

"Potion!" Amanda said to Dyana.

"Got it!" Dyana said as she yanked the potion out.

"Don't!" Mari shouted as Dyana chucked the potion at the guy. The man caught the potion in his hand and crushed it, laughing as he did so. He then pulled his hood down to reveal Riku.

"WATCH OUT!" Mari shrieked as Riku raised his hand at the group and suddenly, the gang found themselves at the beach on the main Island, all tangled in a mess of arms and legs.

"What happened?" Amanda shrieked, "The potion didn't work! The spell didn't work! Why didn't they work!"

"I think we got kicked out…" Rikku said, resulting in Paine kicking her in the head.

"Owie!" Rikku moaned.

"BOOK OF SHADOWS!" Amanda said as the group plowed through the house. Auron, Baralai, Gippal, Mickey, Yuffie, Leon, Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa all watched them curiously.

"Where's Sora?" Mickey asked.

"They got him!" Mari replied.

"What about the potion? And the spell?" Auron asked, jumping to his feet.

"Null and void." Dyana replied.

"You guys said there was another way to fix them!" Amanda said, while flipping through the book rapidly, "Where is it?"

"We can't!" Dyana said.

"It's be to risky." Mari added.

"Well what is it?" Amanda demanded. Mari stopped the pages, where you could see a picture of a soul exchange.

"In order to save them, we'd have to sacrifice ourselves." Mari said, resulting in the room falling deadly silent.

For the next chapter, I need ONE review! Or else it'll stop here!
