-----------------------------------------------(Zhou Yu's house)-----------------------------------------

"Well...I guess I am going to have to leave pretty soon." SUn Ce said sadly. All of a sudden, his memory remembered something, something that Zhou Yu was serious about. "Hey, Zhou YU, I forgot. Before I get picked up, what did you feel when you went into that trance?" Zhou Yu reacted by looking at Sun Ce and looking down.
"Sun Ce...It will be hard to explain." "I don't care. I want to know. Please?" Sun Ce begged, with much sucess. "Alright Sun Ce. This is what I felt when I was in the trance. I saw four figures. I was one and Zhang He was another. I was in the lower right hand corner and He was in the upper left hand corner. There were two other figures that were in black. I felt like I was in another universe. I couldn't remember where I was, I couldn't feel myself here anymore. All I could feel were these forces drifting over me. I alsoheard voices. I didn't know what they said, but I was sure that they were talking to me. I could only hear my name being called out by two to three voices.
"I continued to listen to try and understand, but it was in some kind of different language. I continued to be patient, not remembering the four figures. I looked and it was like Zhang He was there with me. His figure was moving towards me. I wasn't standing on solid ground, but instead in a sea of flames. Then I felt you smak me." Zhou Yu said sourly.
"Sorry, I had to snap you back to us somehow...heheh." Sun Ce said sheepishly. "Sounds like it would be kind of scarey to be walking through flames though. Didn't you feel like you were being burnt?" Sun Ce questioned.
"No, I didn't feel anything. It was like some bizzare dream." Zhou Yu looked even more serious now.
"...Hmmmm...I wonder who the other two were? What did they look like?" Sun Ce quarried.
"Don't you listen? I said they were just black figures. I couldn't tell what they looked like." Zhou Yu retorted.
"Sorry, I guess I kinda zoned out there for a little while." Sun Ce told Zhou Yu when his father arrived. "I will see you at High School!" Sun Ce waved and Zhou Yu just nodded and watched them walk away.
While Sun Ce was walking back with his father, Sun Jian, he kept thinking about what Zhou Yu had explained.
"What are you thinking so hard about?"Sun Jian asked. "...Huh? Oh, I'm not thinking about anythin...woah!" Sun Ce had tripped over a hole in the pathway back home. He had dropped all of his stuff that he had packed from Zhou Yu's place.
"Are you okay?" Sun Jian knelt by Sun Ce.
"Yeah...oww...my head not though."Sun Ce started to rub his head. He also started to rub the dirt off his face from falling face first into the dirt.
"...What are you thinking about? You know that you can tell me anything." Sun Jian pused. He was eager to know what his son was thinking about so intensly.
"...I said it was nothing..." Sun Ce retorted, being fustrated with his father being so nosey."I was just asking a question Sun Ce. Plus, I don't want you to hurt yourself again by triping over a rock or someth…"
"DAD! I TOLD YOU IT WAS NOTHING!" Sun Ce hollard, continuing to be annoyed.
"Sun Ce…" "No! Listen, I will be fine! Okay?" After Sun Ce and Sun Jian had their fight, they continued to walk home…silently.
----------------------------------------------(Back with Zhang He)----------------------------------

"What…what are these voices saying?" Zhang He asked aloud to himself. The butterflies had disappeared and once again he was alone, with the darkness and voices he couldn't understand.
Zhang He all of a sudden let out a scream of pain. Something was devouring him, eating at him. It felt like a thousand knives sticking into him. All he felt was excruciating pain. He couldn't take this kind of pain anymore. He went down onto his knees, tears falling from his eyes.
"Why…am I crying?" He asked himself in a shakiy voice. Then he realized that the voices could be heard more clearly. If only he hadn't been crying. He couldn't stop though unless the pain went away. He began to feel more and more pressure on his body. He eventually found himself lying down and curled up into a ball. He was trying to make the pain stop.
"Why…am…I feeling…this way?" He asked the darkness hoarsely. He looked around at his surroundings, remembering that he was surrounded by darkness.
"You…are the one of…"The voice had been heard more clearly. It seemed to be made of three people talking all at once. It had gotten cut off, so he wondered what he was the one of?
"Whoever…is out…there. Please, help…me. Take….away rhe…pain." Zhang He had begun to feel the presure come off just a little.
"You must find…" The voice continued. "What…am I …supposed to find?" Said in agony. He was still feeling pain. Pain beyond what he ever felt when falling. He then began to feel the pain lift off of him at once.
He gasped for breath and stated to relax just a little bit. He was once again on his knees. Just then, when he thought the pain was over, he felt more pain. Not physically, but mentally. He felt all of the insults from the past year. He began to remember his sister picking on him, how he was more girl like than a boy.
He couldn't fix that problem. Sometimes he even wished that he was never born. His familiy insulted him, he was always being made fun of and now, he was feeling all of that again, except all at once.
He couldn't take it anymore. He began holding his head, and felt the heat of the threatening tears. He was trying to hold them back, but he failed after a few minutes. He felt like he wanted to commit suicide, but he knew that he had friends.
"friends…" He thought to himself. Whenever he said that word, he felt more confident. He remembered what Sun Ce, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu had been through with him. Remembering them was what made all his pains go away.
His mind was suddenly racing with thoughts, images and other things. He was becoming so confused and couldn't understand anything that had happened to him.
"What…what is happening to me?" He repeated over and over again. He stood back up and staggered around a bit, knowing that he wasn't reaching any specific destination point. He knew he was just walking around aimlessly, but with his mind the way it was, he couldn't care less about where he was going.
He continued on his pointless journey through darkness and found himself lost, deep within his thoughts. A few minuets later, he heard the voices again.
"Why am I an elemental character?" He asked the voices, where ever they might be coming from.
"You are the chosen ones. You have the power over darkness." "Why?" Zhang He held a conversation with a voice that was invisible. He looked up and realized that Zhou Yu was standing there.
'That can't be Zhou Yu…he isn't here.' He thought, confused with his friend being there.
"You have the power over darkness. Use it wisely and train yourself how to control it." The voice said Zhou Yu's lips moving with the words. The voice was using him as a puppet.

----------------------------------------------------(Back with Sun Ce)--------------------------------

"Sun Ce, come on let me know. I promise not to think your crazy." Sun Jian pushed again when they got home. Sun Ce went straight to his room and put his stuff away.
"Fine, you know why I have finally agreed to tell you, right?" "No…why? Did you figure out that it wasn't really that important?" Sun Jian asked. "…" Sun Ce stared at him.
"I finally agreed to tell you because I'm sick and tired of you asking." Sun Ce said. They both sat down and Sun Ce explained the whole scenario.

----------------------------------------------------(With Zhou Yu)------------------------------------

"So, did you have fun with your friend being here?" Zhou Yu's mother asked. "Yes, I did mother." Zhou Yu responded. "That's good. You will have to go over there on time to repay him for coming over here." "That sounds like a plan." Zhou Yu agreed.
"Maybe me and Sun Ce will finally figure out more about these powers, and eversince he can have more than one friend over, then…" Zhou Yu looked up from what he was thinking. His mother glanced over to see Zhou Yu looking up like he just remembered something.
"Dear? Is tere something wrong?" "No…I have to talk to Sun Ce!" Zhou Yu ran out the door.
His mother ran to the door to say wait, but it never came. "I wonder if they will allow him to surprise them like this. I wonder what he was talking about anyway. humph Oh well. I will have to wait for him to come back and pack I guess.
Zhou Yu was running as fast as he could. When he was about half way there, he tripped on a hole. The same hole Sun Ce tripped over.
'Man, this is really going to slow me down' Zhou Yu thought as he quickly got up and ran off again.
