A Big Problem
"Hey Sean! Guess what?" Kaylie asked jumping up and down.
"What?" Sean asked, even though he knew the answer.
"We won! Yay!" she said giving him a huge bear hug.
"Congratulations!" then he paused for a moment, "Could you please let me go, I can't breathe." She instantly let go and started blushing furiously.
"I'm sorry. I was a little overwhelmed. I mean, I can't believe that Amoura and me actually won! Are attack was so cool. I didn't even know we could do that!" she yelled. She was so tired that her breathing was so heavy.
"Neither did I." Confessed Amoura. "It proved to be very effective though." They all laughed.
"I'll be right back." Sean said. "I have a letter to deliver. I will see you in a few minutes…Oh and Kaylie?"
"Yes?"
"I have a surprise for you when I get back." And then he ran off to give Hercules the letter. 'I wonder what he could have got me.' Kaylie thought.
Sean found Hercules surrounded by a bunch of people. It was hard making his way to the front of the crowd.
"Excuse me, Hercules?" Sean asked.
"Yes? Do you want an autograph too?" he asked thoughtfully.
"No….I am just here to give you something. Here." Sean said handing him the envelope.
"Thank you." Hercules said politely. Sean watch as Hercules eyes grew wide as he progressed reading the letter. His face changed from a pure happy expression to an expression full of anger and fear.
"What's wrong?" a confused Sean asked.
"Nothing." He answered. Then he went over to a thing that Sean believed to be part goat and part human. 'Now that is scary.' Sean thought. 'I wonder what happened to him to make him so…….abnormal?'
After a few minutes of arguing Hercules and Mr. Goat-Guy went over and made an announcement to the crowd.
"Excuse me. But Phil and I have some business to attend to. We will be back later to answer any questions you might have." Then, he and Phil and him made their way over to Kaylie and Amoura. Sean decided to too. So he ran over to see what Hercules had to say. 'And to give her my present.' Sean thought happily to himself.
"You're kidding?" asked an enraged Amoura. Apparently Sean had missed 90 of the conversation.
"So…what's the problem?" Sean asked innocently. Then group of them looked so gloomy at the moment Sean got over there.
"They want Hercules to trade me so he can have his wife back." Kaylie said. She looked so sad. And Sean knew that she was going to blame the whole situation on herself and it wasn't her fault.
"They? Who is they?" Sean asked.
"Hades and his group." Phil explained. "Hades is ruler of he Underworld. He wants the Keyblade Master so he can control the heartless."
"I hate to break it to him," Kaylie laughed, "but I am better at controlling heartless than he probably is. Which does not seem to be good at all."
"That statement could not be any more true." Sean joked. But for some wacky reason, nobody thought it was funny. They instead glared daggers at him until he was covered in sweat and had looked like he had just taken a sweat shower.
"No, but you are a threat to heartless. Therefore, he could use you to make them do his dirty work." Hercules chimed in, apparently pleased at his discovery. But his smile soon went back to that devastated look.
"Don't worry Hercules." Kaylie soothed him. "We will get Meg back for you. No matter what the cost. I promise I will bring her back safely." At that moment Hercules studied Kaylie's eyes, as if he was making sure he could trust her. Then, he unexpectedly gave Kaylie a huge, bone-crushing hug.
"I am counting on you Kaylie. Please, please bring her back safely." He said, trying to hold back tears.
"Don't worry." Kaylie said, pulling away from his death hug. "I will bring her back and it will seem as if nothing ever happened. Come on guys." She said beckoning Sean and Amoura to follow her. "Lets find this guy and make him wish he never knew that I existed."
After they had left the arena, Sean decided to give Kaylie her present.
"Kaylie?" Sean asked. "Here is your present I got you." He gave her the silver necklace.
"Oh Sean! It is so beautiful! Where did you? How did you? When did you?" But Kaylie was at loss for words. The necklace was gorgeous. It had a silver chain and a sliver heart hanging from it. That heart was really a locket and inside the locket was a picture of Sean on one side, and a picture of Kaylie on the other.
"When the owner and it finally connect, the owner and the necklace can create a shield." Sean explained.
"Wow. Thank you Sean." She said before giving him a hug. He blushed a deep red.
