A couple of weeks passed since Axel and Rhonda have now split up. They weren't even talking to each other. At work they didn't let their problems get in their way, they put aside their differences and got along with each other enough to get the work done. Bother were so air headed and filled with pride everyone was soon getting fed up with their problems and didn't see why they just wouldn't work them out.
"You know what Axel I just don't see why you won't talk to her about this." Kairi said one day at practice.
"Because I don't want to deal with it anymore it's done and over with and I'm leaving it at that." Axel said.
"I don't see why she's a great girl and all." Sora said.
"Don't even get started on that Riku all your interested is to have her in our band, well look here she's not going to be in our band." Axel said.
"I don't see why you won't just talk to her and make up." Riku said.
"Look Riku if you want to talk to her so badly why don't you go out with her then!" Axel yelled. "Look I'm out I'm going home.
Axel then got on his motorcycle and left.
"I don't know why he's so mad Rhonda's really nice." Kairi said. "What happened between the two?"
"I don't know but he's being a real pain in the ass if you ask me." Sora said.
"You know both of you are acting like children you both should just make up." Vanessa said as her, Christy, Terra, and Rhonda were walking through the mall.
"Because if he doesn't want to trust me or have faith in me for anything no. A guy has to reach up to my standards and has to have trust in me." Rhonda said.
"Come on it couldn't have been that bad." Christy said.
"Christy, Axel saw Sepheroith kiss me. I didn't want to kiss him he kissed me. And Axel thinks it's the other way around how I want to get back together with him and I don't. He hurt me and I don't know why Axel would think I want to get back together with him at all." Rhonda said.
"He's just jealous, because deep down inside he can't bare to loose you Rhonda." Vanessa said. "He loves you."
"Correction he used to love me. Now he just hates me." Rhonda said.
"He does not he does love you." Christy argued.
"I would just forget about him. If he's giving you that much trouble then just forget about him he's no use crying over." Terra said coldly.
Vanessa and Christy looked over at Terra funnily and couldn't believe what she was saying.
"Ah Terra it isn't that easy cause her and Axel have been going out for a long time." Christy said.
"Yeah but it wasn't like they were getting married were they!" Terra challenged.
Vanessa at that point wanted to take Terra and claw out her eyes. How dare she act like that to her friend!
"Well one way or another you too will have to talk sometime." Vanessa said.
"I don't think so. There's nothing left to be said, it's done and over with." Rhonda said as she walked off.
"Poor Rhonda." Thought Christy as he looked over at Terra who was smiling. "What is her problem?"
At work Rhonda was walking to a meeting in one of Sesshomaru's offices where she ran accidentally into Axel.
"Oh I'm sorry, oh Axel." Rhonda said.
"Rhonda." Axel said.
Deep inside Axel truly wanted her back but just wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do he was still angry with her but he wanted her back so badly.
"I should go." Rhonda said.
"I guess you should." Axel replied rather coldly.
"Bye." Rhonda said as she felt tears inside her eyes threatening to fall but didn't.
Rhonda walked into the office followed by Axel. Everyone was seated but Sesshomaru could detect that something was wrong with Rhonda but didn't say a word. The meeting went rather smooth it was discussing whether they should buy stocks from another company. Vanessa was in control of the budget seeing if it was the best time to do that now or later. Rhonda was recording down information and raised her hand.
"Yes Rhonda what is it." Sesshomaru spoke.
"Well I actually think it's a good idea to buy some stock we have been having a good year with a lot of money coming in and all. And it could be a good idea with this stock; it might make the company more powerful and better working." Rhonda explained. "It could also make more people want to buy and we could sell more than we ever have."
"Yeah and that's what you think could happen it doesn't mean that it will." Axel said.
Rhonda froze feeling tears coming on but didn't let them show.
"Yeah but with the stock there could be huge investments and the company can come in a good profit for the year." Rhonda said.
"Yeah but you don't know if that will happen or not." Axel said as he raised his voice. "And what will happen if the company plunged down or what? Are you ready to take that responsibility for that happening!"
"You know what just forget what I said." Rhonda said. "It's just as simple as that, I'm nothing more than a secretary and notes taker so what would I know. It was just an idea I had."
Rhonda sat out of the conversation for the rest of the meeting. When the meeting was over she was the first one to leave and gladly she did. When she returned to her office was when she broke down into tears.
All that was left in the office were Axel and Sesshomaru.
"What was that for!" Sesshomaru asked rather coldly.
"What was what for?" Axel asked.
"You know very well what. Why did you go off on her like that?" Sesshomaru asked. "If it's because of your relationship problems then quit it because this one will not tolerate any of that here at this company."
"It wasn't I'm through with her so it won't affect my work any longer." Axel said.
"Fine if you have decided not to be with her then leave her alone. You have done enough to her as it is." Sesshomaru said.
"What do you mean?" Axel asked.
"Did you not sense she was hurt and crying?" Sesshomaru asked. "She is like a sister to me and this one will not tolerate seeing anyone not even the likes of you hurt her in that way."
"You won't." Axel said.
"Good now get out of my office." Sesshomaru replied as he started to close the door.
Axel left to return to his office when Rhonda came out of hers. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying he could tell and it made him feel bad. He really didn't mean to yell at her earlier he was just well mad still.
"Rhonda?" he asked.
Rhonda looked at Axel but then continued to walk away.
"Good everything is in order I presume?" A voice asked.
"Hai it is my Lord." Said another voice.
They walked down the long corridors in a castle that led to a prisoner's chamber. They opened the door and inside was a woman with long midnight blue hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a white gown. Her arms were chained to a wall. Her arms were sore from the chains and she was awfully tired and had no strength left. She saw them walk in and she turned her head in the opposite direction.
"What is my bride to be still upset?" the voice laughed as his silver jagged hair fell into his face as he leaned over to kiss her on the cheek which made her made and tried to resist but couldn't.
"You bastard." She whispered. "Soon she will find out sooner or later."
"Oh and how is that!" he laughed.
"Because she will soon realize that who she is around is not me." She said.
"How is that she doesn't even know you." He laughed. "I thank you for letting me use your features it has been very easy to lure into this trap now."
"Leave her alone!" she yelled.
"Or what." The other voice said coldly. "Soon you both will be powerless, it is better to give in to us now or face being destroyed."
"You will not win dark will always triumph over light." The voice said.
"Not if you are master of both!" she yelled but then he smacked her in the face and she fell backwards.
"That will not happen." The voice said. "Because if you or your sister doesn't give into our power soon then you both will perish!" he then yelled. "Well I must be going now time to put the plan into action."
"No don't!" she yelled but it was already too late both had left the chambers. "Rhonda it isn't me, it isn't the real me!"
Rhonda continued to walk down the hallway it was already time for her to go and she already didn't want to stay a second later. Inside her she was hurt and felt like she wanted to cry but couldn't. Deep down she too missed Axel but he didn't want her back and it was clear to her now anyway. Rhonda walked outside and Terra was right behind her.
"Oh hey are you off to?" Rhonda asked trying her best to look like she didn't spend hours crying.
"Come I want to show you something." Terra said smiling.
"Okay." Rhonda said as she followed Terra into the parking lot located on the opposite side of Inu-Corp. They both were walking but Rhonda had no idea what Terra had wanted to show her.
"Terra what is it?" Rhonda asked.
"You'll see." Terra said as both continued to walk.
Both continued walking until suddenly Terra stopped.
"Terra what's wrong." Rhonda asked.
Terra did not answer.
"Terra?" Rhonda asked.
"She is not Terra." Said a voice.
Rhonda froze and slowly turned around there was Sepheroith.
"Terra what's going on here?" Rhonda asked.
"I'm afraid he's right Rhonda I'm not Terra." The look alike of Terra said smiling evilly.
"What are you talking about!" Rhonda asked feeling fear and confusion now enter her body.
"Rhonda, Rhonda always so clueless." Sepheroith chanted as he laughed.
"What do you want!" Rhonda demanded.
"Just give up now Rhonda." Said another voice.
Rhonda knew that voice too and turned around it was Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's younger half brother.
"Inuyasha you to! But how, why!" Rhonda yelled.
"I don't have anything against you it's your sister." Inuyasha said as she smiled wickedly.
"Traitor!" Rhonda yelled.
That was when Terra transformed into a man with hair that resembled Sepheroith's but it was shorter much shorter at a shoulder length. You could have said he resembled Sepheroith and looked like his brother.
"My name is Kadaj." He said.
"Where is my sister!" Rhonda demanded.
"Somewhere where you will not find her!" Kadaj said. "Both of you will submit to our powers."
"I will not." Rhonda said.
"Fine then if you won't your sister will be killed, both of them and everyone else you care for so dearly." Kadaj said.
"NO!" Rhonda yelled. "Leave them alone."
"Then do as we say." Kadaj said.
"Fine I submit." Rhonda said as she lowered her head to the floor.
"Good." Kadaj said.
Seconds later Sepheroith behind Rhonda.
"I'm sorry I have to do this." He whispered.
"Stop what are you doing!" Rhonda yelled. "LET ME GO!"
Sepheroith then knocked Rhonda out and through her over his shoulder.
"Let's go now!" Sepheroith ordered.
All three soon disappeared but Christy was there in that parking lot watching what happened. She ran back into Inu-Corp screaming for Sesshomaru and ran into him talking to Axel.
"What's wrong why are you running around yelling like a maniac!" Sesshomaru demanded.
Christy sat there and told Sesshomaru and Axel the story that she just witnessed in the parking lot and Sesshomaru was very angered.
"Bastard knew he couldn't be trusted." Sesshomaru growled. "Do you know here they left or gone!"
"They didn't say." Christy cried. "Oh God, and that's not the worst of it your brother is in on it to Sesshomaru."
"What!" Sesshomaru nearly exploded.
Vanessa walked up and could sense that something indeed was wrong.
"What happened?" she asked.
Christy told Vanessa what happened.
"Oh my kami what are we going to do!" she asked.
"I don't know we don't even know where they taken her." Sesshomaru said.
"I know and I can take you there." Axel said.
Everyone looked at Axel and he knew he would have to start explaining.
"It's a long story." Axel said. "I'll tell you on the way."
"So you're willing enough to save her now why?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Even though we have our differences I still-"Axel couldn't say it.
"You still love her." Christy finished.
"Yes." He admitted.
"Come on we must go before it's too late." Axel said. "Don't worry Rhonda I'm coming." He thought. "But when I see her…will she forgive me?"
Axel led the others into the sky and started to travel and make their way to the kingdom of light.
Rhonda stirred in her sleep when she awoke in what seemed like a prisoner's chamber. She put a hand on her head and rubbed it.
"Ow." She said out loud as she looked around and studied her surroundings.
Who was next to her surprised her by a long shot.
"Oh Kami." Rhonda yelled out as she jumped up.
"Rhonda is it you?" the girl asked.
"Terra?" Rhonda asked. "Or wait is it Kadaj!"
"No it's me the real me. The last time I contacted you was when they found out I was contacting you all this time. They locked me up here and Kadaj has been using my features to gain your trust and deceive you." Terra explained.
"Okay I guess I'll have to trust you for now." Rhonda said.
Rhonda looked and saw both her and Terra were chained to the wall.
"We got to get out of here." Rhonda said.
"How there's no way possible." Terra said. "And besides by sundown I am supposed to marry Kadaj."
"Not on my watch help me find a way out." Rhonda said.
"I'm telling you there's no way and besides were chained to a wall." Terra said.
"If there's a will then there's a way." Rhonda said as she struggled with the locks. "Damn, wait I got it!"
Rhonda came up with a brilliant idea and turned to look at her sister.
"Terra we are getting out of here." Rhonda said.
"How?" Terra asked.
"You have powers don't you?" Rhonda asked.
"Yes more of mother's powers see I can't control both dark and light, I can only control one and I chosen light." Terra said.
"Okay it doesn't matter what I want you to do is concentrate on channeling your powers on breaking both our locks." Rhonda explained.
"I tried that though." Terra said.
"Yeah only you tried though, but the both of us we can accomplish great things, come on Terra we can do it together!" Rhonda said as she encouraged her sister.
"Okay let's do it." Terra said.
"So how are we supposed to get to the kingdom of light anyhow?" Vanessa asked.
Everyone was stumped at that part.
"Hey Shippo or Miroku's raccoon friend can give us a ride." Vanessa said.
"Are you kidding they would be scared." Christy said.
"I can transport us by teleportation." Vanessa spoke up. "But I don't know where it is though."
"So how can we get there then?" Sesshomaru asked out loud.
"Wait a minute I know!" Vanessa said excitedly. "Call Kagura and lets see if she'll let us use her flying feather."
A half an hour later Kagura showed up and handed over her feather to Vanessa.
"Thanks Kagura we really appreciate it." Christy said.
"Yeah, yeah when your done just done forget to return it for me." Kagura said as she walked off.
"She's nice." Axel said sarcastically.
"Yeah, we better get going." Vanessa said.
From Axel's back emerged his wings, on Kagura's feather Sesshomaru, Christy and Vanessa got on and started to head for the castle in the sky.
Rhonda and Terra began working on channeling their powers to break the locks but Terra was having trouble.
"I don't think I can do it Rhonda." Terra said.
"Don't give up on me Terra come on we can do it." Rhonda said. "Don't break the concentration."
"Okay." Terra said. "I'll try harder."
Terra shut her eyes and began concentrating again and so did Rhonda and this time they managed to break each others locks.
"You did it!" Terra said excitedly as she got up and hugged Rhonda.
"No we did it Terra." Rhonda said as she smiled and hugged her sister. "Come on we have to find a way out."
Rhonda looked at the window but there were bars all over it. Rhonda looked at the floor and saw it was cement.
"I guess we can cross tunneling our way out off the list." Rhonda joked. "It looks like we'll have to go through the door."
"But it's locked." Terra said.
"Hey don't underestimate us now we just got out of the chains we can get through a measly door." Rhonda smiled.
Rhonda and Terra walked up to the door indeed it was locked.
"I got another idea." Rhonda thought as she concentrated and with her powers she unlocked the door.
"How did you do that?" Terra asked amazed.
"A lot of sneaking out when I was a teenager." Rhonda smiled. "Come on let's go."
"Wait this is a little to easy." Terra said.
"Don't worry come on." Rhonda said as her and Terra walked out into the hallway.
"You to stop!" a voice yelled.
"Yazoo don't let them get away!" a voice yelled.
"Don't worry Loz I won't!" Yazoo yelled back.
Rhonda stared at the guys that were running towards them they looked an awfully like Sepheroith and Kadaj.
"What are all of you brothers or what!" Rhonda yelled out. "Terra get back!"
"I want to help you!" Terra said.
Both Yazoo and Loz drew their weapons.
"You think that's scary I lived through fear and you don't scare me one bit!" Rhonda yelled as she ran forward and hit Yazoo with an energy ball that was the shade of dark purple and black.
Terra summoned her magic and attacked Loz who fell to the ground but got back up and so did Yazoo.
"What should I do now Rhonda!" Terra yelled.
"For now run!" Rhonda yelled as she grabbed her sister's hand. "We need to figure out a plan."
Yazoo and Loz were running after Rhonda and Terra down a hallway when Rhonda found a window.
"Are you mad!" Terra nearly yelled. "Well be killed."
"I live for adventure and if you knew me then you would have already known." Rhonda said as she blasted an energy ball at the window that smashed.
"Can you fly?" Rhonda asked.
"Of course, why?" Terra asked.
"Because your going to need to now when I tell you bring your wings out and get ready to fly." Rhonda yelled.
"Okay!" Terra yelled.
"Now!" Rhonda yelled.
Both girls jumped out the window and from their backs their wings emerged. But unfortunately Yazoo and Loz could fly too.
"Damn!" Rhonda thought.
"What now?" Terra yelled.
Rhonda looked down and saw a river.
"Can you swim?" Rhonda asked.
"I never learned." Terra confessed.
"Well now you're gonna learn come on!" Rhonda yelled as she grabbed her sisters hand and plunged head first into the river.
That's when Loz stopped Yazoo.
"Wait you idiot do you know what kind of water that is!" Loz yelled.
"Uh no." Yazoo.
"That water will kill us and they plunged right in it damn! Kadaj is going to kill us not to mention Sepheroith." Loz said. "Let's go inform them."
"Right." Yazoo said.
Yazoo and Loz flew away and Rhonda and Terra watched from under the water and then came up for air.
"Great plan." Terra said. "Now I'm all soak and wet."
"Hey at least I got us out of that place." Rhonda said. "Where does this river lead to?"
"Into town." Terra said.
"Well there we can hide out let's go." Rhonda said. "And were safer in the water, so let's swim."
"Yeah your telling someone to swim who can't!" Terra cried in protest.
"Come on I bet town's not that far away, lead the way captain!" Rhonda smiled.
"We almost got killed and your laughing, oh my are you my sister." Terra smiled.
"Guess we'll never know." Rhonda joked.
"You lost them!" Kadaj nearly exploded. "How in the world could you have done that! You two were supposed to be watching their prison chambers! Night is befalling very soon and that's when the ceremony is. The ceremony must be done before the half crescent moon appears."
"Why Kadaj?" Loz asked.
"Because that's when she'll have her powers the strongest and she'll be an equal match to me!" Sepheroith said easily.
"You're taking this rather well brother." Yazoo said.
"Where did you last see them?" Sepheroith demanded.
"They fell into the river." Loz said.
"And we couldn't have followed them into that." Yazoo said.
"Yeah but you idiots could have followed them!" Kadaj yelled.
"Patience Kadaj, patience we will have them in our grasp and once we do I will become the ruler of this very universe!" Sepheroith declared. "Find them!" he indicated to Loz and Yazoo.
"Yes brother." Both chanted as they ran outside.
"So you think you can outsmart and escape from me Rhonda! We'll see about that." Sepheroith thought. "We shall see."
Sepheroith then departed off into another section of the castle and Kadaj followed.
Rhonda and Terra managed to just escape from Yazoo and Loz from falling into the river. Miles down they went and as they neared the town they climbed out of the river bank soaked and drenched.
"I'm freezing!" Terra said. "See I new the river was not a good idea!"
"Stop complaining jeez your just like my sister." Rhonda stopped. "Christy." She thought.
"Sister you have another?" Terra asked.
"Yes and she's probably worried sick about me." Rhonda said.
"It must be nice to have grown up with her while you were young I on the other hand had no one." Terra said. "I was handed off to one of mother's friends to be raised up as their own. I was alone and around the time I matured was when Kadaj announced that he was going to marry me. I do not wish to marry him for I love only another…."
"It must have been hard, but where together now and nothing bad is going to happen." Rhonda said.
That was when anger villagers surrounded the two girls.
"Who are you! What are you doing here!" one villager who was a male, had long black jagged hair and green eyes yelled.
"Answer the question!" another villager but this time was a female with short straight golden hair and brown eyes demanded.
"And you said nothing else bad was going to happen." Terra said as she shook her head.
"He he…" Rhonda laughed.
"Who are you!" the man with long black jagged hair yelled.
"Wait a minute I know you, you're Terra Shiraz's daughter." The woman with the short golden hair said. "She's not an outsider she was raised in this village when she was young."
"You live here?" Rhonda asked.
Terra nodded. "Yes until I was taken away by Kadaj."
"Monique it has been a long time hasn't it?" Terra said as she hugged her friend.
"To long." Monique agreed.
"But Monique this one is an outsider." The man said.
"Can't you wait a minute Marik!" Monique yelled.
"No I can't and the sooner we get rid of her, the better!" Marik yelled.
"No she's my sister." Terra said. "Monique she is the one the chosen one."
"She is!" Monique gasped.
"I told you all of this long time before Monique, she is the next chosen one." Terra said.
"Why are you here!" Marik asked.
"Marik stop it or I'll throw you in the river!" Monique yelled. "Sorry he's my brother, pains sometimes siblings are aren't they?" she smiled.
"Yeah tell me about it." Rhonda smiled remembering times she had spent with Christy.
"So what brings you here to Crystal Peak?" Monique asked.
"Where here to find our parents, our real parents." Rhonda said.
"Oh…them." Monique said. "Yes I forgot you are not really Shiraz's daughter."
"She'll always be a mother to me but now we must find our real parent's before Kadaj's gang finds us." Terra said.
"Okay follow us but you sister will have to wear a cloak inside." Marik said.
"Why! Rhonda demanded.
"Because you are of Dark and Light heredity, it is forbidden for the likes of you to be around these parts." Marik said.
"Marik!" Monique yelled.
"Well it is." Marik said.
"No it's alright." Rhonda said remembering what Axel had told her before about the two kinds.
"But I am of that race to you can't just justify what we are or judge us." Terra said.
"But she looks more of the part you can tell." Monique said. "And everyone knows you but doesn't know about your life history of who you really are. Your real parents hid that from everyone so you could grow up some what normally. But they never would have dreamed the day Kadaj would have taken you away from us all."
"Can you take us to them?" Rhonda asked. "Do you know where they are?"
"Yes along with the others." Monique said.
"Others?" Terra asked.
"Yes there are others just like the likes of you both but they aren't as fortunate. They are reduced to hiding underground and in other places to reduce their chances of being found. If they are then the mixed bloods will be killed." Monique explained.
"Why that's horrible!" Terra yelled out. "Why do they let that happen?"
Monique was about to answer when Rhonda did instead.
"Because they are afraid of our power, we are the stronger ones we can control both the Dark and the Light but in some cases it becomes to strong to handle. What I mean is in your case you said you can only control light and you had to choose. But in cases like mine I can control both Dark and Light. It's hard to explain but only few out of our kind can ever complete a task so great it is a challenge one must complete and prove themselves worthy." Rhonda finished.
"Spoken like a true chosen one." Monique said. "Come and I will take you to your parents."
"I guess I'll have to tag along as well." Marik sulked.
That was when Monique hit Marik in the head.
"What the hell was that for!" Marik yelled.
"Nothing I just felt like it." Monique smiled.
"Sisters are evil." Marik snarled.
"Yes but brothers are just so simple minded." Monique laughed as she led Rhonda and Terra into the village.
Before they entered a cloak was given to Rhonda and she put it on.
"For your safety." He spoke.
"I understand." Rhonda said.
Marik nodded his head and everyone was walking through the village, somehow it had seemed familiar to Rhonda like she had been there and indeed she had only through dreams of course. While they where walking in the place looked much run down.
"It wasn't always like this; long ago Crystal Peak was in fact very enchanting and beautiful. It had become this way ever since the Angels of Dark won the war and took control of the kingdom, but to do that they have to kill the heirs to the thrown or turn them onto their side. The both of you." Monique explained.
"So that's what Kadaj and Sepheroith are planning." Rhonda said. "Well I'm sorry but their plan is not going to succeed."
"It is not as easy as it sounds; you have to fight to fight the heir to the thrown. The ruler, The Darkness has chosen his heir and has passed the crown finally to him. Your father was The Darkness's son, but he refused to harm the angels of light or follow in his fathers footsteps. He cascaded him out as a traitor and ordered for him to be killed. But that was when he fled to the Angels of Lights land. The Angels of Light thought of it as a disgrace of your mother and father being together. That's what sparked the war." Marik turned to me. "Your birth."
"No it wasn't me, a friend of mine was just like me and was born before me, he was an angel of both dark and light." Rhonda explained.
"Yeah I heard about him." Monique said. "The first of the tainted blood."
"He was the first but both races didn't like it either so they brushed it off the side or made it forbid for the races to fall in love. If it ever happened their children were found and murdered. But they soon learned that the children that were both dark and light were a danger to them reaching their ultimate goal. That was another reason why the mixed bloods were killed, but when you were born. They knew you were the heir to the thrown. They knew that if they didn't kill you or lure you to their side that in time you would over power them and they would soon suffer defeat." Marik finished.
Rhonda and Terra sat there as Marik was finished talking. "I understand." Rhonda said.
"So do I now." Terra said. "I just wish it didn't have to be like that."
"Maybe it doesn't." Rhonda said.
"How?" Monique said. "What are you thinking?"
"If we defeat the Dark ruler then we can show that were more than just mixed blood that were important as well." Rhonda said.
"So what are you saying?" Marik asked.
"I'm going to have to fight the heir to that thrown, who is it?" Rhonda asked.
Terra looked away as she spoke. "Sepheroith, you're going to have to fight him to win control of the kingdom of light and if you win you also gain control over all dark and light lands."
"So basically it's all up to me isn't it?" Rhonda asked.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"Damn, this isn't going to be some walk in the park either." Rhonda said. "Axel where are you when I really need you the most." She thought.
As they were walking through the village, there was a big ruckus emerging within the town square.
"Stop that little brat!" someone shouted.
"Catch her!" someone else cried.
A little girl no older than eight with amber hair and lavender pinkish eyes dressed in a torn green kimono was running down the street.
"It wasn't me!" she shouted.
"Yeah right tainted blood!" someone yelled.
Those words rang through Rhonda's ears. Tainted Blood, so she was just like her.
"Stop her now!" someone cried.
The little girl was running and turned at a corner but realized it was a dead end. The angry villagers followed her and so did Rhonda.
"Rhonda wait no!" Monique yelled.
But it was too late she didn't listen, all she cared about was helping and rescuing that poor girl, she wasn't about to let fate claim her.
"Really it wasn't my fault." The girl cried as tears flooded down her face.
"Quit lying and admit it you where the one who stole the bread from the bakery!" one of the villagers yelled.
"No it was the other boy he stole it and when he got caught he through it into my arms and ran. I had no idea it was stolen!" the little girl cried.
"Hey what should we do with her?" one villager laughed.
"I know we can hand her over to the Angels of Dark." Another villager laughed as he made an attempt to grab her.
"Daddy!" the little girl cried out.
Rhonda ran in and used her powers and sent the villagers crashing into the wall. Rhonda ran up and stood directly in front of the little girl.
"You're safe now." Rhonda said as she smiled at the little girl. "I believe you."
The little girl smiled weakly.
"Who are you!" One of the angry villagers cried.
"Leave this child alone! How dare you she is just a child and you want her to be sent to her fate!" Rhonda yelled.
"She is of tainted blood what do you care!" the other angry villager yelled out.
Terra, Monique, and Marik finally found Rhonda but didn't speak. Rhonda pulled off the cloak, it was time she showed them the real her.
"I care! Rhonda yelled out. "Because I am what she is!"
Rhonda's wings came out of her back in warning to the villagers to stay away unless they wanted to get hurt. Her black half crescent moon mark on her face began to glow. Her eyes turned a darker shade of blue.
"Leave her alone now!" Rhonda ordered. "Or you shall face severe consequences." She warned.
"Wait I have heard of her she's the chosen one!" someone yelled.
"Yeah so have I, one of tainted blood shall rise and save us all, just like it said in the prophecy!" one of the villagers yelled.
"I am the chosen one and I order for you to leave this girl be so back off!" Rhonda yelled as her eyes cascaded to the darkest blue. (FYI it is not good to piss off a dark-light because they can loose control of their normal self being and the dark can tempt them. The dark can turn them into something they might not even want to become).
The villagers ran out of the dead end and back into the town square and Rhonda was left their battling inside her the emotions she was feeling and her dark-light self being.
"Rhonda come back to us please." Terra begged.
Rhonda tried her best and over came the darks temptation that ran in her blood and was her normal self again. Her eyes resembled their normal color and her wings emerged within her back and her half crescent moon mark ceased to glow.
"My head." Rhonda said as she rubbed it. "What happened?"
"You don't remember?" Terra asked.
"Not really…" Rhonda said.
"You dark being inside almost over powered you." Marik said. "Amazing power…"
Rhonda was silent for them moment and turned to the little girl and bent down so she could be eye level with her.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Rhonda asked.
"Yes." The little girl answered.
"What's your name?" Rhonda asked.
"Raven." The little girl answered. "I want my Daddy."
"We'll find him." Terra said.
"What happened?" Rhonda asked.
"I was walking along the streets really hungry. You see my Daddy doesn't make a lot of money cause he's a disgrace to society. He married my Mama who isn't like the rest. She's dark and my Daddy is light. My Mama died when I was just a baby when she gave birth to me. The Angels of Dark found out that one of their own had a child with a man that was an Angel of Light thought it was treason and killed her…" Tears fell from the little girls face.
Rhonda held the little girl in her arms. "Someway somehow I'm going to stop all of this!" Rhonda declared. "It isn't right for a little girl to loose her mother at an age like that! Guys are you with me!"
"I'm in." Terra spoke.
"Me too." Monique said.
Everyone looked at Marik.
"I guess I'm in too." Marik spoke.
"Will find your father don't worry." Rhonda said.
Raven looked at the others with confusion in her eyes.
"Find him? I know where he is." Raven said. "He's…… I'm not supposed to say."
"Sweetie you can trust us, we too are looking for our parents and besides were just like you." Terra smiled.
Raven smiled as she looked at Rhonda. "My Daddy had always said that in this prophecy that there is a woman just like our kind and someday will comeback to our lands and save us." She smiled.
"Well that day has come." Rhonda said smiling. "So can you show us where your father is?"
Raven nodded and looked around to make sure no one was following her. "This way." She said as she led them to where her father was. Rhonda and the others followed Raven.
They were in the town square as Raven showed Rhonda and the others the way. They soon came to a hidden trap door in a deserted part of the town.
"Down here…" Raven said as she started to climb down.
Rhonda, Terra, Monique, and Marik followed Raven under ground into the trap door. Underground they walked miles and miles until they came to another door.
"Inside is where others like me and of course you guys lie." Raven smiled as she used her powers to unlock the door.
The door seemed to need some kind of password that only a dark-light could answer with his or her own powers and strength. When the door was unlocked Raven stepped forward and motioned Rhonda and the others to follow. When they walked inside they were amazed. Underground there was a river and fields of flowers and trees. It was as if someone removed a part of the Earth and placed it here but only under ground. There was light everywhere but it didn't come from a sun or anything by the likes of that. It was a mystery you could tell that magic was used there.
"It is beautiful." Rhonda spoke amazed.
"Yes this is my home." Raven spoke.
Raven led Rhonda and the others to her home where a very angered father awaited for them.
"Raven how many times have I told you don't leave the house unless your escorted by me or a friend!" her father yelled as Raven flinched.
Her father seemed upset analyzed by Rhonda but he only loved her and was afraid for her safety.
"Daddy I'm sorry but these people here saved me." Raven smiled.
Rhonda got a good look at Raven's father he was a tall man with mocha brown colored hair and green eyes. Raven must have gotten her features from her mother she thought.
"Thank you all very much for returning my daughter to me…. I don't know what I do if I lost her as well." He said.
"It's no problem." Rhonda spoke.
"Daddy she's the chosen one, she's just like us I've seen her powers!" Raven said excitedly.
He looked at Rhonda and the others with curiosity in his eyes and at that point he knew she was the chosen one.
"Come in and lets talk." He said. "And by the way my name is Hano."
