It was around nightfall when the five arrive at the Lightfoot household. They were met with an angry Laurel

"Where in Zadar have you been, I've been calling you two and I haven't gotten anything, and you better have a good explanation" Laurel yelled hysterically at her two teenaged sons with the trio of kids

"Please mam," Kinsey and Nick pleaded. Laurel softened seeing the kids and seeing Dinah's frantic expression

"What happened…" Dinah stepped up to her.

"Bad people…" Dinah blurted

"Sweetie-" Laurel started.

"The people at the lab know about her…" Kinsey explained

"She's not safe with us…" Barley declared

"Come inside…" Laurel dragged them all inside the mushroom house.

"What do you mean not safe with us…" Colt asked when they all got inside

"Those people from the lab know she's with us...They've been stalking around for a while trying to find her…They saw us with her…" Ian explained.

"What are we going to do...We can't let them take Dinah…" Kinsey sputtered

"Who knows what they'll do to her" Nick added.

"Are you two her friends…" Colt asked

"Yeah...I'm Kinsey and this is Nick…" Kinsey introduced

"We need to get you two home…"

"No way I don't wanna leave Dinah alone…" Nick protested

"Me neither…"

"Your parents will be worried about you…" Laurel told them

"We can spend the night together...It'll be no problem...Right, Nick…"

"Yeah…We can make the call right now.."

After the two children called their parents telling them that they were going to spend the night with Dinah, they gathered out for a plan, trying to figure out a place to hide Dinah. They placed a map of the United Realms and glance at it.

"We can't go to knolling hills, It's a death trap up there…" Barley noted.

"What about Loch Lake…" Kinsey suggested

"They can't possibly hunt her down that far…"

Dinah walked around and found an emblem nearby the door. She gently moaned and it caught everyone else's attention.

"The Manticore's Tavern...It seems like a good hiding spot…" Ian told them

"Hopefully, Corey would allow her to stay and hide just until the scientists go away…" Laurel added

"I'm sure she would…We should prepare for Dinah's leave tomorrow night…" Colt instructed. Then they all began to float for the last time. Dinah then placed an illusion of a bright blue sky. Her two friends were in awe

"I didn't know she can do this…" Nick said

"She had got to be very powerful…." Kinsey thought out loud.

Then the vision started to slowly wear off as Dinah began to yawn, getting tired

"Woah Woah…" Barley raced in and caught a sleeping Dinah in his arms.

"I guess that fun ended…" Nick frowned.

Barley carried Dinah upstairs and tucked her into the sleeping bag and left her to rest.

Then the flashes in her head came back again. The rain, the car lights, and the yell

"We found something…"

"Rain...Lights...Yell" Dinah began to chant in her sleep. It was slightly quiet so no one can hear her

Later on, when Ian came to get changed he heard muttering.

"Huh?"

"Rain...Lights...Yell…" He heard. He looked around and spotted Dinah rolling around

"Hey hey Dinah are you okay?" He crouched to the squirming child

"Rain...Lights...Yell"

"Rain Lights...Yell" Ian whispered to himself. "It's a nightmare...Wake up, Dinah…"

"Rain Lights Yell…" then Ian began to gently hush her and rubbed her back, making the chant a little gentle and near-silent. Then Ian whispered into Dinah's ear.

Then Ian gave her a kiss and left the room, making the girl feel a little relieved that the living nightmare had vanished her mind for now until the morning.

Outside the house was a power cable that extended to a familiar white van with 3 familiar doctors

"Let's tell Dr. Peterson…" then the van slowly drove off


"Yeah, Corey I know the situation seems crazy but You have to trust us on this she needs a place to stay just until the heat dies down…" Laurel was on the phone with Corey at the moment while the kids were preparing Dinah.

"It's going to be okay Dinah...Those monsters won't find you there…" Kinsey said, doing Dinah's hair. Dinah wore a yellow shirt with a peace sign, blue jeans, and her yellow sneakers. Kinsey was trying to place a bright yellow scrunchie on her light purple hair.

"Yeah, they'll think twice than to mess with the mighty Manticore…" Barley spoke in his medieval voice.

"Yeah…" Nick added. After Kinsey was done, she went to get the girls some water. Dinah then looked at the map one more time and found a spot that caught her eye; The Brave Wilderness. It was really far but she thought that the place interested her. It might be a backup option for her.

"That's called The Brave Wilderness…" She sharply turned to see Laurel pointing at the spot she was looking at. "It's far but I'm sure that will come in handy pretty soon...But let's not worry about that" She kissed Dinah on the side of her head, making the young elfin smile, and grabbed her for a hug which she returned

"Aww…Everything's going to be okay...I promise it will."


A full day of preparation went by and nightfall came around. The lightfoot family, Dinah, and her friends snuck into the van while Colt followed after in his police van.

As they were on the road, Dinah rose sharply and Laurel noticed

"Sweetie pie what's wrong…" Dinah didn't answer. It drew concerned from the boys too...Ian knew what it was.

"Something's not right," Ian told the others.

"How do you know?" Kinsey asked.

"She's like this if there's any danger…" Barley added. "What is it D.D. Tell us…"

"Trap…" Dinah blurted.

"A what?" Nick turned to his new friend

"Trap…" she repeated

"It might be a trap...We gotta warn Corey…"

Then Laurel's phone ran and she places it on speaker

"Hello"

"We know you have subject 051…" a calm male voice said

"Who is this and what do you want with Dinah?" Laurel yelled.

We just want her back...or else someone gets hurt

"Don't do it…." She heard Corey's voice ring out

"COREY...DON'T you touch her…"

"I will spare her if you bring 051 safe and sound...and don't try to lie your way out of it...See you at the tavern" then the phone hung up

"They got her…" Laurel told the others, horrifying the boys, especially Dinah.

"All my fault…" Dinah had her hands over her head and began to sniffle.

"No this isn't your fault…" Ian told her.

"Well gather your courage we've...arrived…" Barley gulped.

They parked the van nearby the hill where the tavern stood proudly

"Me scared…" Dinah clung to Laurel.

"We are too…" Barley told her. They slowly made their way up the hill and as soon as they approached the door, a familiar voice rang

"I've been expecting you…" Dinah turned to see Dr. Peterson holding a revolver and the other doctors holding the Manticore in ropes. Ian had his staff ready

"Hold it there boy...Drop that staff...I SAID DROP IT…" Ian obeyed and placed the staff by his feet

"Why are you doing this?" Laurel asked the sinister doctor, holding onto Dinah

"To keep a reputation…" Dr. Peterson answered

"A reputation...She's only a little girl?!"

"Yes, a little girl who has seen and known too much...So have you…"

"It doesn't have to be this way…" Colt stepped in putting a protective arm in front of Dinah.

"Oh no...You don't know that she's my experiment of the century...She was a half-dead corpse in the middle of the road when we found her

"What?!" Barley and Ian say in unison.

"You see...On a stormy night, we were driving about when we stumbled upon a girl in the middle of the road...She looked alive...she looked dead...She was coming upon death's door."

"Rain Lights Yell…" Dinah whispered.

"That's right...We brought her back to the lab and we created a substance that can bring a being back to life...She was our first subject to test it...It worked like a charm...But there was one side effect we could not control…"

"Her powers…" Laurel whispered looking at Dinah

"Correct...No one can contain her except one...Treating her like a mother...Wasted precious time testing her to see what her abilities can do…Now May I recall a deal we had...Had over the child…"

"NO…" Laurel pulled back Dinah. Then Dr. Peter then shot a bullet in the air, making everyone jump. "I don't think I'll repeat myself twice." then He turned his gaze to Dinah. "Surrender quietly or one of your friends get hurt." Dr. Peterson pointed a gun at Laurel threatening to shoot her

"Please…" Dinah begged. She released herself from Laurel's arms and walked slowly towards Dr. Peterson, who turned to the Manticore and his minions

"Release her…" the minions quickly do so and the hostages trade places

"That's a good girl…" then Dinah stopped and turned to the Lightfoot Family, her friends, the Manticore how was by her side, and looked down at her doll Darling.

"Now come along…" Dinah didn't move a muscle, still looking at them

"Goodbye….Family…"

"Now come-" then the manticore stuck her tail into Dr. Peterson's gut, making him fall. Dinah blew fire at him, making him burn for his crime. Then she shot up in the air flying away

"You idiots, SHOOT HER" Dr. Peterson yelled, straining his breath from the plasma. The other doctors aimed their guns to the sky until a few cops surrounded them

"I wouldn't do that if I were you…" Colt told them

"DINAH…." Kinsey and Nick ran down the hill calling for their friend. They tried to run after her but they couldn't catch up

"DINAH" Laurel called. But their calls were ignored by the elf.

As Dinah flew, She looked back one last time but she decided to keep going, knowing that the lab people will never stop chasing her.

The family could only stop and look in the direction she flew in. then Nick spotted something

"Guys look…" Laurel spotted it and found that it was Dinah's doll and she looked up at the sky.

"Do you think Dinah will be okay on her own?" Kinsey asked Colt.

He sighed through his nose. "Only time will tell...I'm sure she'll be back…"
