Chapter 5

The Disappearance

Kassidy woke up to the sound of bats waking up. Many of them were already heading out of Tree Haven to go do some hunting and she couldn't help but admire how many of them there were. Sure she saw bats in zoos, but to her this was much more exciting. These guys could communicate and she never would've imagined she would actually be talking to animals. There was a spell for it, but like the other spells she was trying to learn she didn't know how to use it. She sometimes felt like she wasn't learning any spells and that she may never be an experienced witch like her parents were.

She thought about this and as she did she could feel the anger surge up in her. She could feel the fire flow through her veins and they were ready to rise on her body. Realizing that she was about to burst into flames, Kassidy took very deep breaths to calm down and as she did she could feel the fire inside her die down. It was too close of a call.

Stop thinking that, Kass, Kassidy thought to herself. You'll get there, you just need more practice.

Kassidy noticed that Shade and Ariel weren't roosting under the ledge. She figured they probably went to do some hunting and didn't want to wake up her or Holden. She wanted to find Shade as soon as Holden woke up so they could go find her jeep. She could already imagine what repairs the jeep needed.

Kassidy then heard yawning and she turned to see that Holden was waking up. He was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and was stretching. He then turned his head to look at Kassidy as soon as he was fully awake. "Should I say morning or night?"

"I guess night," Kassidy said, "because that's when bats wake up and fly. They're nocturnal after all."

Holden looked to see that Shade and Ariel weren't hanging from the ledge. He then looked back at Kassidy. "Where's Shade and Ariel?"

"Hunting probably, we should go find Shade and get this over with. Our families are probably worried enough."

Holden rolled his eyes and he looked down. "Your family is probably more worried about you. My family could care a whole lot less about me, especially my Dad."

Kassidy narrowed her eyes in confusion. She knew he was a popular kid, a troublemaker, and a party animal, but she never would've thought that his family didn't care about him. There's no way they wouldn't care.

A lot of people have different ways of parenting and usually, it's good parenting or bad parenting. Holden looked like he could get anything he wanted without the complaint of either one of his parents saying they couldn't get what he wanted. This was probably one of the reasons why he got into trouble a lot. She did see Holden's dad get angry at him but it was probably because he wanted what was best for his son. He probably just wanted Holden to do well and not fail in life.

What did his family ever do to him to make him think this?

"I'm sure that's not true."

Holden snorted as if she just made a joke. "I'm already failing school and I get into a lot of trouble and it always pisses my Dad off."

"I'm sure he cares about you though."

"I'm already turning out to be a spitting image of my mom and he probably hates me for that. My Mom was an alcoholic and she would always go to parties and whenever she got drunk from them it would always turn into a huge fight between her and my Dad. They weren't always close and they tried therapy once, but it didn't work out so well. When my Mom got drunk one day, she hit my little brother, Lewis. My Dad then finally had enough of her and they divorced. He had full custody of us and we never saw her again." Holden looked down again, but sadly. "I told myself that I didn't want to be anything like her, but here I am getting into trouble a lot and not doing great in school.

"I don't know why I do this and my Dad and brother are probably disappointed in me because I'm turning into her. I like to have fun, but I don't want to be what my mom was."

Kassidy opened her mouth and then she closed them. He didn't want to be like his mom, but he felt like he was doing a bad job at that. She didn't think she would think this, but she felt bad for him. He had a Mom that didn't act like a Mom and he wanted to be nothing like her and yet he was slowly following her footsteps.

This could probably explain his attitude, she thought. I wish I'd known about this… I wish I knew how to use that spell to see through his mind when I didn't know about this…

She knew for a fact though that she didn't know about this and quite frankly Holden wouldn't of wanted her to see through his mind. It might've been too inappropriate to do that anyway. Everyone had something they didn't really want to talk about and yet Holden shared something with her that he managed to get off his chest. He probably wanted to tell her this seeing as though no one he knew was around to hear this and because they weren't doing anything yet.

"Well… it's not too late to change your actions," Kassidy said. Holden looked at her. "I want to help you, I really do. You still have time to make up for the things you've done, especially if you really mean it when you say you don't want to be anything like your Mom. Even if you did some stupid things I still think your Dad and brother care about you. I know we don't really know each other and we had a rocky start, but I'd like to change that."

Kassidy still thought that they would never get along, but she wanted to try and see if they could try to be friends. If that didn't work out too well then she'll know that this was a big mistake.

"You really want to help me?" Holden asked. "That's surprising."

"I think we've both found some surprises from each other. I may look like I'm not the type of person to ask for help, but that doesn't mean I don't want to help. I'm not heartless you know. So what do you say, you wanna start over and try to be friends?"

Holden was silent for a minute and thought about this. He then formed a weak smile. "Sure, I mean there's nothing wrong with us being friends right?"

"Right, and don't forget we still have a deal."

"I know, I know."

Kassidy smiled weakly. "Good, then you know." Kassidy noticed that it was almost empty in Tree Haven. She looked at Holden. "Let's follow some of them so we can find an entrance to get out of here. As soon as we get out of Tree Haven we need to search for Shade."

"Sounds good enough for me."

Without wasting any time, Kassidy and Holden took off from the ledge they were under and followed a few bats out of Tree Haven. After a couple of minutes of flying, they saw a hole some of the bats were flying through to get outside and they followed them and made their way through the hole-even though there were other holes they could've went through. It was dark outside and the stars were twinkling about as Silverwings were hunting for their food like beetles, mealworms, midges, mosquitos, and anything like that. Kassidy knew what some of these insects tasted like and she scaled them down to what tasted well and what tasted bland. Her favorite was tiger moths. They were hard to catch, but she managed to find a way to catch them.

Kassidy and Holden looked around them to see if they could see any sign of Shade's small bat figure. They flew around and Holden was struggling to fly, but he managed to stay in flight. So far there was no sign of him.

Kassidy and Holden then landed on a tree branch and kept looking for Shade because Holden was still trying to get used to the fact that he had wings. He almost fell from the sky one time and he almost fell from the tree branch as he landed on it, but he managed to keep his balance.

"Where is he?" Holden asked. "He can't be that hard to find, he's very small."

"I'm sure we'll find him," Kassidy said. "We just gotta keep our eyes and ears opened."

Holden looked at Kassidy and rubbed his arm in a nervous way. "Kass, do you find it ironic that the bats don't go out into the sun because it's the law?"

Kassidy had been thinking about it last night before she went to sleep. She had no idea why these bats had a law like that. She wondered if they did something wrong to deserve something like this. She wanted to ask Ariel or Shade about this, but they were all asleep by then. She wanted to know more about this and decided to ask Shade once she had the chance.

"Yeah, I did. It's actually quite interesting seeing as though I always assumed the only reason bats didn't go out into the sun was because they hated it."

"Why do you think this law exists?"

"I don't know, but I'm tempted to know why."

Holden was about to say something, but a voice intervened. "Hey!" A masculine voice said. Kassidy and Holden turned around to see three bats their age land on a tree branch higher than the one they were on. "Kassidy and Holden, right?"

The one bat that was talking to them was standing in the middle and he was taller and looked stronger than his two other companions. He had maya blue hair and it was the same color for his mane as well but he had some dark blue in it. He had pigeon blue fur and along with his wings being the same color, and light green eyes.

The one on the left was not in good shape like the other two. He had baby blue fur and it was the same color as his wings. He had a natural red mane and hair along with yellow eyes.

The one on the right was a female and she had buttercream hair and a light purple mane. She also had light yellow eyes along with mauve purple wings.

They were looking at Kassidy and Holden with interest like they were a piece of artwork put in a gallery. They were mostly looking at Kassidy however.

"Guilty as charged," Kassidy said.

"I'm Chinook-" Chinook then gestured to his two companions, "and this is Todd and Breeze." Chinook examined them some more. "Are you guys actually humans?"

"We sure are, man," Holden said.

Chinook then looked at Kassidy and smiled at her. "And is it true that you're actually a witch and you transformed Holden and yourself into bats?"

Kassidy knew what that look meant. This was the kind of look she saw in school when the boys were trying to flirt with the girls so they could score a date with them. She has never fallen under that kind of spell and still hasn't to this day. She never understood how or why these girls fell for these kinds of boys easily. Every time she saw a guy in the hallway flirting with one of the girls she would see the girls giggle at almost everything the guys would say and it always made her roll her eyes.

She never had a boyfriend or even a crush on a boy before. She'd always assumed that sort of stuff was just distractions and kept you from doing what you wanted to do. She was not all about romance and preferred to focus on making her goals happen. She definitely wanted to start a family with someone, but she wasn't ready for it and she would be when the time was right. Right now it wasn't a perfect time to think about that right now.

"Yeah, it's true," Kassidy said.

"Everyone's been talking about you guys," Breeze said. "Especially you, Kassidy."

"Yeah," Todd said, "a lot have been talking nonstop about you making that thing you call a choker around your neck float."

Kassidy didn't think that a lot would be impressed by her. I guess I chose a pretty good spell.

"Wow, Kass," Holden said. "You're getting even more popular than me right now. Somehow I'm astonished by this."

Getting popular was not one of Kassidy's goals, but it somehow magically happened all the sudden without a goal of any sort. She didn't care about the popularity, but when it comes to certain people all she wants out of them is respect and loyalty for her. It was hard for her to find those sorts of people, but it was mostly her family that gave loyalty and respect to her and that's all she'll ever need from them.

"You think you could show us one of your magic tricks?" Chinook asked. "We didn't get to see you do your other magic trick."

"Look, guys," Kassidy said. "I'd like to show you one of my spells, but-"

"Come on, please? Just one spell and that's it."

Holden used the back of his hand to cover his mouth and he started to whisper towards Kassidy. "It wouldn't hurt to do one spell. I mean we got time to find Shade, right?"

Kassidy breathed through her nose and was not in the mood to do any spells. She wanted to get to her jeep and not entertain anyone. However, Chinook, Todd, and Breeze were looking at her with pleading eyes. She wanted to say no and that they had to be somewhere, but she knew that if she turned them down they'll keep asking her and the more they asked her the more she would get annoyed by them and then eventually burst into flames and if she burst into flames they would instantly get frightened by her. She didn't want to get on any Silverwings' bad side and if she did this she would instantly get herself kicked out.

Deep down, Kassidy wanted to scowl at them and tell them to fly off, but she didn't want to judge them yet, seeing as though she just met them. After all, she couldn't entirely blame them for being curious, they never even seen a witch before or even seen magic done before. "Alright, but just one spell and that's it, understand?"

"Yeah, we understand," Chinook said. "We totally understand."

Kassidy looked around the forest to see what she could do for a spell, nothing dangerous, but something that these guys wouldn't be scared of. She wanted to do something different, something having to do with nature. As she looked her eyes caught a glimpse of the ground and that's when an idea hit her.

She flew towards the ground and then landed and as soon as she did she got on her knees. She put her hands on the ground and she imagined an orange lily sprouting. She pictured the light orange around the edges of the petals, with dark orange around the middle of it, and then stretching into lines on the petals. She also pictured the green stem, the ovary, the filament, the anther, and anything else to make it look like a lily so it would be lifelike. When focusing on her spells she has to always get the detail right or else it wouldn't work and the spell would be a complete flop. Some of the spells she was learning were easy, but the other spells not so much and that's why some of them were a success while some of them were failures.

As Kassidy was picturing the lily a small stem slowly began to show itself from the ground. The stem then started to grow more from an itty bitty little stem to a beautiful grown lily. The lily was exactly how Kassidy pictured it and it was very lifelike and this earned a foursome of wows from Holden, Chinook, Todd, and Breeze.

Kassidy got up from the ground and as she did, Holden landed beside her while Chinook, Todd, and Breeze landed near the lily and looked at it in awe. They were whispering to each other and saying how awesome that was and such.

"Not too shabby, Kass," Holden said. "I actually didn't think you were going to do a flower. I kind of thought that you would do something to your personal taste like a Venus flytrap."

Kassidy looked at Holden. "Even though I wanted to do something like that I didn't want to scare them. I'm not a fan of flowers, but this looked much more harmless for these guys to look at."

"So, are you guys up to something?" Kassidy and Holden looked at Chinook. "We wanted you to join us for some fun."

Kassidy wasn't in the mood for any fun right now and really wanted to find Shade. Even though this might've been something Holden would've been up for, she wanted him to stay focused. This was no time to be playing games. "Sorry, Chinook, but we're actually looking for Shade, he was supposed to be helping us find my jeep but we can't seem to find him. Do you guys happen to know where we can find him?"

Chinook, Todd, and Breeze looked at each other and then they started to laugh like hyenas. Kassidy furrowed her brow and looked at Holden with a confused look on her face. Holden was confused as Kassidy and he just shrugged his shoulders. Kassidy looked back at the trio of Silverwings. "What?"

Chinook, Todd, and Breeze settled down, but still had a look of amusement on their faces. Neither Kassidy nor Holden were amused and waited for one of them to answer. "You guys asked the runt for help?" Chinook asked. "He can barely keep up with anyone. You guys should've came to me because I happen to be a skilled flyer."

Kassidy didn't like what Chinook called Shade. He was small but that didn't mean he was useless. She had no problem with him and yet these three were making fun of him because he wasn't the same height as them. "I don't like the way you're talking about Shade and for your information 'Chinook', you don't know where my jeep is, but Shade does. He at least knows where to start, unlike you, you dumb ass."

Chinook held up his hands as if a cop told him to do so. "Whoa, no need to say things harshly." Chinook then lowered his hands. " And so what if he knows where your jeep is? He's just going to slow you down, but me, on the other hand, I can help you a lot faster." Chinook lifted his wings to show off how big they were. "He doesn't have wings like these."

"Oh, those are bat wings?" Holden asked sarcastically. "For a second there I thought those were chicken wings, my mistake."

Chinook lowered his wings and he looked at Holden and looked insulted by what he said. Todd and Breeze looked at each other as if they didn't expect Kassidy and Holden to find Chinook not impressive. Chinook then started to glower. "Funny," Chinook began, "I never would've thought that this would be something to come out of you, considering you don't know how to take off and did I mention to you that you scream like a girl?"

Todd and Breeze chuckled and as they did, all three of them were expecting Holden to get mad, but instead, he smiled at Chinook sarcastically. "I'm sorry, was I meant to be offended? The only thing offending me is your face."

Chinook's eyes widened in shock and anger while Todd and Breeze stopped chuckling and no longer looked amused. He looked like he wanted to punch Holden in the face. Chinook was about to say something, but a voice intervened. "Hey, is everything alright?" Shade landed next to Kassidy and she was glad he came in a perfect time before things got even more ugly. "I thought I heard arguing over here?"

"Everything's fine, Shade," Kassidy said. "In fact, we were just about to leave. Wanna help me lift Holden?"

Shade nodded and then he and Kassidy took off from the ground and Holden held out his arms so Kassidy and Shade could grab them. They lifted him and as soon as they were high off the ground, Kassidy and Shade released Holden and then he flapped his wings. They looked at Chinook, Todd, and Breeze and they just stared at them. Chinook, though, stared at Holden still angry, but he and his friends didn't say anything. Kassidy, Holden, and Shade then flew more into the forest, leaving the other three Silverwings on the ground still staring at them.

Shade looked over his shoulder at Kassidy and Holden. "You want me to take you guys to that jeep right now?"

"Yeah, that would be great," Kassidy said.

Shade nodded and led them to where he saw them in the jeep. As they were flying, Kassidy couldn't get over the fact that Chinook, Todd, and Breeze were making fun of Shade. It wasn't his fault he was small. Even as an animal there was still some who picked on others and Kassidy guessed that a lot couldn't escape that. Even for those who were different.

Shade looked over his shoulder back at Kassidy and Holden. "They were making fun of me, weren't they?"

Shade looked mad at the fact that even though he didn't hear Kassidy and Holden's conversation with Chinook, Todd, and Breeze, Kassidy knew that he kind of figured that they were talking about him. Not only did Kassidy feel bad for Holden, but she also felt bad for Shade as well. He looked as though he had to cope with this for a while and Kassidy couldn't understand why those guys had to be hard on him. She couldn't even imagine Shade having to deal with this.

Kassidy sighed and slowly nodded. "They were, but we weren't having it, so we told them off. You don't deserve this sort of treatment, Shade, no one does."

Shade's eyes widened in surprise. "You guys stood up for me?"

"We sure did, man," Holden said. "Although I wish I could've continued on with the conversation I was having with Chinook."

"Well you should at least be glad that Shade interrupted it," Kassidy said, "because if it continued any further I can probably guess that you two would've gotten into a fight that would not have ended too pretty."

"I probably would've given him a taste of his own medicine though."

"It's not always the answer to solve your problems, Holden."

"Either way I appreciate what you guys did for me," Shade said as he was looking ahead of him. "No one's ever stood up for me like that before."

Kassidy couldn't believe that Shade had no friends to stand up for him. She knew however what it was like to not have friends. In Canada, she had no friends to talk to but when she was in America she had a couple of friends that were outsiders just like her. They may not have been a popular bunch, but they at least had each other's backs. When Kassidy had to leave Canada she had to leave her friends in America, but she always tried to communicate with them as much as possible. The school she had to attend to in Canada felt nothing like the school she attended to back in America. She had friends in America, but no friends in Canada.

What did Shade ever do to deserve this crap he's getting?

"No one? Not one single bat?"

"No. When Chinook and the others were ready to take their first flight I still had to cling on to my Mom because I was so weak. No one thought I would make it, but I proved them wrong, but some of the Silverwings my age picked on me because of my size and I hated it. I still do."

"Shade, don't let them get to you. Even though you're not as big as the others you have a lot of advantages with your size. You can fly through small holes for example to catch your prey or to get away from predators. Plus you're very friendly, you could've let someone else help us but you stepped in anyways. If I was you I would've done the same thing."

Shade looked over his shoulder at Kassidy. "You mean it?"

"Would I be telling you this right now if I didn't?"

"Kass has got a point," Holden said. "I agree with what she said."

Shade smiled. "Thanks, you guys are actually pretty cool. Sorry, I didn't wake you up; my Mom wanted me to get some food so I could be ready for the migration."

"It's okay, Shade," Kassidy said. "We understand, it wasn't too hard for us to find our way out anyways."

They flew for a while and while they did they asked each other some questions, but it was mostly Shade that was asking the questions and Kassidy, Holden, and Shade answered each other's questions the best they could. When Kassidy asked Shade why they weren't allowed into the sun she was surprised when he told her that he had no idea. All he could tell her was that everyone had to follow this law no matter what.

"Look, there it is," Shade said.

After a few minutes of flying, they managed to find Kassidy's jeep. Holden was relieved to know that they found it and that he could finally go back to his human self once Kassidy got her necklace. As they got closer to it, he saw that the jeep was in very bad condition. He had no idea how they could've survived that sort of crash, they could've died. They were too young to die anyways.

Holden had no idea what he was going to tell his Dad and brother once he got home. He knew he didn't want to tell them the actual truth because for one: he promised Kassidy he would keep her identity as a witch a secret and two: if he told them that he was a bat and that he was saved by bats they probably would've thought that he was crazy. Holden ran through some lines in his head so he could prepare for his talk with Lewis and his Dad but none of them seemed to make sense to him, but the car crash made sense because it actually happened. He could already tell that he was going to be telling somewhat of a fake story to not only his Dad and Lewis but also his friends and girlfriend.

He thought about maybe asking Kassidy to help him come up with a fake story to tell everyone so it would make sense, mostly because she was pretty smart and clever. He had no idea how Kassidy could manage to keep her powers a secret for a while, but she managed to until she turned them into bats. He hated to admit it but he was pretty jealous of her. Not only because she was smart, but because she was a witch. She could do anything with her powers, like transform into an animal. He was also jealous by the fact that she could take off without any problems and yet he couldn't do that and it was embarrassing for him.

Holden, Kassidy, and Shade landed on the roof of the jeep to rest and Holden almost fell off the jeep while landing but luckily Kassidy managed to save him in time before he fell. Holden couldn't believe he managed to make it this far without faltering with his flight. Flying and landing were very hard for him and he wished that he didn't struggle this much. He felt like a toddler again and he probably thought that Kassidy and Shade were thinking the same thing.

Can't wait to get out of this body, he thought.

"I'll go grab my necklace," Kassidy said. She then flew through the window of her jeep and Holden expected her to get the necklace at least under ten seconds, but she didn't. She was still in the jeep and she didn't come out. "What the hell? Where is it? Where's our stuff? It's all gone!"

Holden's eyes widened and he noticed that Shade looked confused. Holden could tell that this didn't sound too good.

"What?" Holden asked. He carefully grabbed under the roof and carefully lowered his head to look inside the jeep. He was shocked to find that their stuff was gone. No phones, no bags, and no necklace. All that remained in the jeep was the damage given. Holden stood up. "No! We got robbed! Great, this is just what I needed!"

Holden and Shade jumped all the sudden when they heard pounding coming from the inside of the jeep. Holden then heard Kassidy breathing angrily as soon as the pounding stopped, but he heard her trying to calm down. He has noticed lately that whenever she gets angry she takes deep breaths just to try and calm down. He then figured she didn't want to be the one to freak out and go crazy… unless there was some other reason why she did this.

Kassidy got out of the jeep and she landed on the roof again. "Okay… looks like we'll have to go with plan b. We'll go to my house and get my Uncle's help. I don't think it's far from here."

Even though Kassidy looked like she was calm, Holden could tell she was about as angry as he was about this. He looked at Shade and he was looking at him with confusion still. He then looked back at Kassidy. "I thought he doesn't know how to use magic?" Holden asked.

"I said he doesn't really know how to use magic. He has a necklace kind of like mine and with it, he can transform us back."

"How can we talk with him though? He won't understand."

"You know there's a thing called writing messages, right?"

First his embarrassment for not knowing how to take off and now the fact that Kassidy stated the obvious answer to this situation. His brain felt like it wasn't functioning properly and maybe the car crash was the reason why he couldn't think properly. He already felt stupid right now.

Kassidy looked at Shade. "Shade, you don't have to come with us if you don't want to. We wouldn't want your Mom to worry."

"My Mom may be protective of me, but I'm sure she can handle me being gone for a while. Besides, you guys are my friends and I wanna help."

Holden didn't think he would make friends with a bat, considering he hated them. Maybe he was too hard on them and didn't actually give them a chance. Maybe Kassidy was right when they were in her jeep. Maybe he was actually the one being blind because he didn't see anything great about bats.

"Well we should probably get going then," Kassidy said. "This is going to be one long night."

The three of them took off and Kassidy lead the way to her house. As they were flying, Holden realized that he didn't eat anything this morning. He felt like eating a whole horse right now. Maybe as soon as they transformed back into humans he could ask if he could have something to eat. He certainly didn't want to eat insects for his meal.

After a few more minutes of flying, Kassidy dove towards a house that stood alone near the woods. Shade did the same thing, but Holden lagged behind because he almost lost his flight again. Stupid wings.

They then landed on a ledge that was near a window and as soon as they did, Kassidy cupped her hands on the windows and looked inside. Shade watched as Kassidy was looking inside while Holden looked around his surroundings to keep himself somewhat busy and not stare at Kassidy. After a minute of silence, Kassidy leaned off the window and Holden noticed Kassidy looked shocked by something. Her jaw was dropped and she didn't move.

"Kass?" Shade asked. "Are you okay?"

"What the hell?" Kassidy mumbled to herself.

Kassidy held her hand towards the window and then with a quick up motion of her hand, the window slid up and was opened and as soon as it was, Kassidy flew inside fast. Holden and Shade looked inside to see why Kassidy was acting strange and what they saw made their jaws drop. The inside of the house was damaged. Everything was broken, torn, or shattered to pieces. It looked like the inside of one of the haunted houses that Holden went to.

Holden and Shade flew inside the house and landed on the ground and watched as Kassidy flew to each room stressed and worried. No one seemed to be in the house besides them. Kassidy then landed on the ground after-minutes of flying-near them and she was breathing hard and had her hands in her hair.

"Is this what the inside of your house looks like or is this something new?" Holden asked.

Kassidy looked at Holden and Shade and they were now getting worried like her. Kassidy stopped breathing but still had her hands in her hair. "They're… gone," Kassidy said. "They're all gone…"

The two figures were in the shadows of the trees as they saw Kassidy, Holden, and a runty looking bat get in the house. The male figure could already see the reactions on their faces right now and this could only make him smile on the inside. Kidnapping that family was by far very fun for these two. He replayed the kidnapping over and over in his head and it was very satisfying to watch. The fear and the screams were the best part of the kidnapping.

They noticed that the runty bat looked like Kassidy and Holden's new companion and this was very amusing to the both of them. They couldn't believe that a small and weak little bat was with them.

This looked like a good opportunity to kidnap Kassidy, but that would only be too easy. The male figure wanted to watch as she gets more stressed by the fact that her family got kidnapped. Watching people suffer was what the male figure liked to see. After all, she would see her family soon, but not right now. This then gave him an idea.

The male figure grabbed hold of his green pendant that was hanging from his necklace and then looked at his female companion. They smiled at each other and chuckled.

A/N- Hey, guys, I actually wasn't expecting this to be a long chapter, but I'm finally finished. In the next chapter, I can tell you for sure that things are going to get crazy. That's all you need to know for now and until then, I'll see you guys later.
