Episode 2
Bastet's comfortable slumber was interrupted by a painful punch to her back. Aggravated, she extended her claws and was about to show Daniel just what she thought of his interrupting her sleep when she got a good look at him. Still asleep, he was in the mist of a horrid of a nightmare, that she could tell. His arms flung at invisible invaders and legs mingled with the sheets. What had truly broken Bastet's heart was the cries that came from Daniel.

"Momma.. Daddy...NO!"

Careful of the flinging limbs, the teary eyed cat decided that it was best to awaken the poor boy from his torment.

Unsure on what might be the best way to do so, she decided on a simple approach. Moving to his ear she spoke his name until the cries became simple whimpers. She licked his cheek to get him to arise and was surprised by his reaction.

Daniel startled awake. Jumping up and slamming her to the wall, he ran into the bathroom and began throwing up.

Momentarily stunned, she tried to shake off the pain shooting through her body.

Within a few moments, the pain receded to a mild throbbing. Concerned for Daniel, she took to pacing outside of the closed bathroom door.

She relaxed when Daniel finally exited the bathroom. He made his way back over to his bed and sat down. Grabbing a hold of the picture frame that sat on the dresser besides it.

He stared at the people in the picture. A beautiful brown haired woman whose eyes Daniel saw every time he looked in a mirror. An handsome man with the same smile that adorned Daniel's face. His fingers lingered at the picture of the infant between the two. Once so happy. Once so full of life. Another tear escaped his eye and found it's way down the old frame.

This broke Bastet's heart. Daniels' flush face was so full of pain. The battle this morning was too much for him. She wondered if she should of interrupted his life. If she should of let him remain in ignorant bliss. But, sadly there was no other choice. As soon as he removed that bandage she knew he was one of the senshi she was looking for. And it wouldn't be much longer. Once they found the other four then they could help find the Prince and defeat Kinsley once and for all.

."'M.. Sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. "

Bastet looked up, brought out of her thoughts by Daniel's words and made her way over to the bed. . Jumping up on the bed, she purred to show she understood and then made herself comfortable in his lap.

"It's quite alright, Daniel. My guess is that last night brought back some bad memories?"

She nearly broke down at the sight of the fresh tears cascading down the boys face.

"Sorry. It just.. My parents..." he showed her the picture, then placed the frame back on the dresser. She got up from his lap and faced him.

"I truly am sorry, Daniel. I did not wish to cause you further pain, but you are needed. You are one of the five senshi that are needed to fight..."

Daniel interrupted her speech by jumping up from the bed. He just got a look at the clock.

"CRAP!"

Daniel slapped his face when he saw the time. It was near 10 and he had missed his first two classes.

"I have to get to class," he informed her. Grabbing his clothes and quickly getting ready..

"Are you insane?" She bellowed. "HELLO! Evil taking over the world! Do not tell me that school is more important then finding the other senshi!"

Daniel sighed. "I'm sorry.. This is important to me. I want to be an archeologist just like my parents were before..." He stopped. Shaking his head.

"Look. I'm not working the bookstore tonight. I promise to be back here by 7. We can talk all you want then. ." With that, he grabbed his back pack and exited the door.

Bastet just stared at the closed door.

"Fine!" she said to no one in particular. "I'll find the other senshi. I found you, how hard could it be.. Really." With that she exited via the window and went off in search.

After finishing the remaining of his classes he called Robert's cell phone and was shocked to hear his mother answer. She told him that Robert was in the hospital and would be returning to his parents home.. Permanently.. They had found out about the intruder and were not letting there only son out of there sight again. She invited Daniel to stop by tonight and he told her he could be happy to. Totally forgetting about his promise to Bastet.

After hanging up the pay phone he made his way over to Professor Ballards room to see if he could hand in his homework and find out what assignment he missed. He apologized, stating that he was ill in the morning and was disheartened when Ballard laughed in his face.

"Homework was handed out his morning. If you weren't in class, that's your loss. Now if you don't mind I can not have my precious time wasted by the likes of you." Daniel just stared down at the man. He dropped the homework that was hanging from his hand and walked out of the classroom. Why did Ballard hate him so much? What did he ever do to the man!

Little did Daniel know that when he exited the class, the Professor dropped to his seat. Opening up his brief case he pulled out an old picture of young woman with familiar blue eyes...

'Claire." he sighed, wiping a tear from his eye, then and put the picture back into his safe haven..

Daniel walked outside the university. Too many people were outside, and he didn't want anyone to see his melt down. Making to way around the school he walked toward a large oak tree that had become somewhat of a haven where he'd sit, and try to try to get his thoughts together.

Pulling the pack in front, he covered his face as the tears fell. Everything was becoming too much for him. Too lost in his thoughts, and tears that he didn't hear someone approach him.

"Hello?"

"Hello, are you okay?" the voice asked.

He looked up and saw a young blonde haired woman looking at him.

She knelt down next to him, and put her hand on his shoulder.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. My name's Sam by the way, and i'm new here and don't know anyone yet..."

Daniel smiled at the young woman in front of him. Grabbing ahold of her offering hand, he jumped to his feet.

"Hello, Sam. I'm Daniel..."

Bastet watched the two converse from a distance. Something about that girl that caught he attention. Could she be a senshi?
