CHAPTER ONE: The Escape
"Leave me alone!" Shouted a young girl. Her light amethyst hair bounced on her back as she ran. She continued to run. But to where? She didn't know all she knew was that she had to keep running. She was growing weary. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, blinding parts of her vision. With her green-sleeved arm, she wiped her eyes.
'I can't keep this up'
"KIKKI!" A voice called from behind her. She knew if she halted for even a second they would get her. She needed a plan.
"Don't give up."
Kikki glanced at her guardian ghost. "They're gaining. I don't know if I can run any longer." She slowed her running as she spoke.
"GET BACK HERE, KIKKI!" the voice was getting louder. Closer.
She flinched when she heard her name. "It's too late." She came to a complete stop.
"Kikki, don't you care what they're going to do to you? They'll destroy you!"
"I know." She answered softly.
Pinto could not stand her friend acting like this. Kikki was always a cheerful, active kid that did not know the definition of the word surrender. Yet, there she was, standing in the middle of the street waiting for them to get her.
"I won't let you do this!" Pinto cried as she forced herself into the shaman's body. There was a brief moment of confusion during the integration. Then the girl began to run again. Pinto was now in control. Kikki smiled to herself for her plan had worked.
(Else where)
"Okay, how 'bout this one? What did the one plate say to the other?" Jocko asked his friends. Who to which were not paying the slightest amount of attention to him. Len and Trey were fighting as usual, while the others were just talking.
"Hey! Don't you want to know the answer?"
Morty looked over to Jocko. "So, what is it?"
"Lunch is on me." He burst out laughing.
Everyone in the restaurant anime sweat dropped. Just then, a girl rushed inside.
She was around 13 years old with long amethyst hair in a French braid. Two strands of hair lay on each side of her extremely pale face. She wore a bottle green sweater with a denim black skirt. Her breathing was quick and harsh and her small figure was shaking uncontrollably. She scanned the restaurant and started towards an empty booth. As she walked, her legs gave away beneath her. Yoh bolted from his seat and caught her easily.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Don't let them…." She could not finish as the darkness consumed her.
