Chapter 16: Truths and Dates

Kara woke up the next day at about half 7 she opened her eyes and slowly got out of bed. She knew what this morning was about to bring very soon and needed everyone up. She walked over and shook all three girls gently.

"Wakey, wakey" Kara says.

She was still nude at the moment and went and got a towel and wrapped it around herself.

All three girls awoke groggily.

"What year is it?" Lilly asked as a partial joke.

"The year of sleeping." Holly yawned.

"I celebrate the year." Haley stated as she fell back onto the bed.

Lilly checked the sheets of the bed to see if there were more nocturnal accidents. Thankfully, there was none.

"We're safe." She yawned as she climbed out of bed.

Now that all three girls were up it was time to get going.

"We all need to get dressed and head to my house as soon as possible" Kara told Lilly and Holly. She thought over what she was about to say. She looked over at Lilly and stared into her eyes.

"I know you won't forgive me for this but I saw the room with your history, I saw the pictures and read the texts I even saw the hell-room and know what happened in there with Chanki, Haley showed me the other room below the trap door don't blame here. As I only found the room going off on my own after our morning accidents. Plus seeing as how what I did it's only fair to let you guys all know the full history about my past other than what you already know" Kara says.

She then sighed once more.

"We will also be skipping school today as things will be seen and needed to be talked about"

All of Kara's statements were going over the sleepy Lilly's head.

"Slow down a minute!" Lilly told Kara. "Can't I take a leak first or do you fancy a puddle on the floor?"

"I've gotta pee too." Holly replied as she got out of bed.

"Already peed." Haley smiled as a crinkling sound was heard.

"Lazy." Lilly sighed.

"Takes one to know one." Haley retorted with a grin.

Lilly and the twins left the bedroom and went into the twin's bathroom. After a few minutes, they re-entered the bedroom.

"So, what did you say again?" Lilly asked Kara. "I'm a little more awake now."

Kara said nothing and waited for the other two to go about their morning business. For fun when she was alone with Haley she went over and padded the crotch of Haley's wet protection before moving away. When Holly and Lilly arrived back in the room.

Kara once again explained everything she had moments ago to Lilly.

Lilly glared at Haley. How could she do that? That was uncalled for! Soon enough, she broke off into a dry chuckle.

"Guess you think I'm crazy now after seeing all of it. By the way, the red ink for the writing was actually the same as the blood on the desk. There was a huge pool on the desk and I was prematurely 'cycling' for weeks, if you get what I mean. I cleaned the pool up but left the splatters there." Lilly explained. "After the hells of last night, I think school skipping will be the least of our worries now. The maids expect a raise for all the cleaning and it's coming out of our pocket money,"

Lilly started to undress out of her night clothes. "You've yet to see this, haven't you?" Lilly asked Kara.

Lilly was quite uncomfortable with being naked in front of Kara but it was only right she saw this after everything she'd seen before. She tapped into her magic but negated her clothing change by being naked. Her ears and tail appeared but something else also appeared on her abdomen whereas genetics stated, her ovaries would be inside her body. A red symbol, similar to the ruby on Chanki's head, was located where stated previously. It was a symbol of a silhouetted ferret with seven tails.

"This is Chanki's pact mark. This means that he's claimed his pact price for my powers." Lilly explained.

This clearly took some courage to show. Lilly was certainly feeling some closeness to Kara.

Kara started to feel very uncomfortable as Lilly explained about what happened to her. She looked at the ground and pictured what had happened to Lilly on the desk. She also pictured herself alone in her Mother's room with her body and standing among the three dead girls.

"Can we please stop talking about blood I'm not feeling to fond of it right now as you know I can't deal with that stuff" Kara replied.

She shook her head at Lilly's latest remark and saw as she undressed. She saw the mark about her body that belonged to Chanki and she felt something like a deep hatred for hom building within her.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that if I could I'd give you my own to replace the ones you lost but I have my own problems as I'm sure being beaten down everyday until your near death can't compare with what you went through" Kara said.

She shook her head.

"Anyway let's get dressed Lilly can I borrow a outfit for today, at my house I will gather some clothes to bring over here"

Lilly let her magic fade and the marks disappeared.

"I'm sure the girls have some form of Pact Mark on them as well as Chanki's claimed them too." Lilly finished.

Feeling a little paranoid, Holly and Haley checked themselves over for weird marks. Haley had the courage to do what Lilly did but she didn't want to at the moment. Holly, on the other hand, wouldn't even dream of doing that just yet.

Kara offered her own in exchange but it would be near impossible to replace them.

"On the plus side, I won't be going through hell every month after my thirteenth birthday." Lilly chuckled.

Kara asked if she could borrow some clothes from Lilly.

"If you can find ones which'll fit then sure." Lilly replied.

The twins left the bedroom to search for some clothes to wear and Lilly headed over to her own wardrobe for an outfit picking.

"Is anyone's birthdays coming up anytime soon?" Kara asked. Before the girls all departed for their own wardrobes she followed Lilly into her wardrobe. Kara went about searching for something that she could wear and decided on a outfit to wear that day. As she had seen Lilly wear it on the first day she saw her.

She picked out the cream-coloured blouse with the blue bow on it. Followed by the red pleated skirt and light blue panties with the royal blue stars on them. She put them all on along with the white shoes she had seen Lilly wear as well.

"Um, Lilly I found a door hidden behind your bookcase while looking for some snacks last night and saw a door behind it. What's inside of that room?" Kara asked.

"Mine!" Haley shouted out.

"And mine." Holly added on.

"Four days from now to be exact, remember?"

"It's the big double digits so we expect something really nice."

The girls set off to find their clothes. Lilly saw that Kara had picked out the outfit she wore on the day they first met.

"So much for childish panties." Lilly chuckled. "You really laid into me thick when I wore that."

Lilly decided that it was the perfect occasion to wear her favourite outfit, which is an orange t-shirt underneath a black short sleeved casual shirt and a pair of black tight fitting shorts complemented by a pair of black and silver designer trainers. Hoping Kara didn't notice, Lilly raided her underwear drawer to find a matching set of rainbow print panties, socks and vest. She quickly put these on under her outfit. They were more for the age range of the twins but they fit Lilly perfectly.

Lilly knew the bookcase question would come up soon after Kara's admittance to the Picture Room.

"Quite the snoop, aren't you?" Lilly giggled. "Ace Detective Kara Ravenclaw's got a nice ring to it. Behind that bookshelf is my snack room plus, I've also got a dairy in there."

"Truthfully I really liked it when you wore this outfit I thought it looked cute on you. Plus the panties were even cuter and about that sorry" Kara replied as she pulled the skirt up to show Lilly the panties for a moment. Then dropped it back down she also noticed as Lilly pulled out the rainbow coloured panties, socks and vest. She liked the way Lilly looked in her outfit and moved closer and looked at her crotch.

"Sorry I just like looking you do know I like girls after all" Kara pointed out.

Both girls then left the room and headed back to the twins room.

"So, that's where it is?" Kara thought. "I will admit I did go looking around as I was hungry" Kara says.

They walked back inside the twins room.

"How about we have all three birthdays together since mine is the same day"

"All in the past now. It's almost like it happened in another world." Lilly smiled to Kara.

Lilly was as little uncomfortable when Kara zoomed in on her crotch.

"Y-yeah, I know that." Lilly replied. "But could you please give me a warning before you do that next time?"

Kara and Lilly headed back to the twin's room. Lilly's mind reading picked up on Kara's surface thought. Haley and Kara had so much in common when it came to snooping around.

"She told you about my diary then?" Lilly asked. "Revenge time. Haley hides all her things under her bed. The left hand side of the bed comes off with just enough pulling and can be put back on easily. Search through there if you want some fun."

They arrived in the twins room. Holly and Haley were still changing as they weren't in the room.

"June's become more expensive for me now." Lilly giggled. "Big double digits for the twins and now your birthday as well."

"Sorry its kinda hard even though you look cute in that outfit I like seeing you in a skirt as I like panty shots" Kara replied before saying that she would worn Lilly ahead of time next time she did that.

"She mentioned you had one only after I asked if there was anything about me written anyway. She didn't tell me where it was hidden or anything." Kara says she went over to Haley's bed and lifted it up and pulled it back to just see what was under there before putting it back down again.

"Yeah, though I just want a fun party it's been kinda lonely as of late sure Marici is back and all. But she just doesn't seem like a sister to me much anymore we've been apart for five years. I'd say you guys seem like the family I'd want I'd love to have Haley as a little sister for a day as we have so much in common" Kara pointed out.

She walked over and joined Lilly again.

"Once the twins are done we shall be leaving I need a strong shield spell cast on all four of us. I'll take us to my room and then start from there but we need to keep a look out for both my sister and my father. As if either find out we are there we will all be fighting for our lives"

Underneath Haley's bed was a whole lot of snacks but there was sure to be more under there.

"Guess it could work but I'm not really sure what to get you for your birthday on such short notice." Lilly answered. "Sure, you want Haley as a sister now but if you've lived with her for nine years you may think differently." Lilly laughed. "Anyway, that's a biased viewpoint of an actual sister. Everyone gets tired of their own sisters but they never stop loving them."

"If we combine our powers we may pull it off. Haley's illusion to shield our presence, your wind to cover our tracks, Holly's truth and arcane to block counterspells and prevent hidden threats and my fire to act as a force shield." Lilly explained.

Holly and Haley entered the room. They appeared to be in matching outfits again. Haley was wearing a pink cotton dress with a white lacy collar and white pompom buttons, pink buckle formal shoes, pink socks with white lacy hems and a white purse bag. Holly had an exact copy of the outfit but the pink was replaced by blue.

"Talking about us?" Haley asked with a smile. "Or are you confessing your love for one another?"

Kara listened as Lilly talked about Haley and sisters.

"The same could be said about me with the twins, Plus as I've done it to you feel free to look around my room in return its only fair. Could I try Haley out for a day and pretend she is my sister if that's okay with you?" Kara asked.

Kara saw as both twins walked out of the room they each looked really cute.

"Yes we were I was asking Lilly if I could have you as a sister for the day, and if I wanted to confess my love it'd be to Holly at a later point in time. Plus you girls look very cute I just want to go over and hugs and kiss your cheeks" Kara replied.

She then went on to explain what would soon happen.

"Now let's get going as it will be a long day?" Kara says.

Each of the girls held hands as Haley cast her illusion spell on them. Followed by Kara casting her wind magic to cover their tracks and teleport them there Holly cast her truth and arcane magic to block for any spells and hidden threats while Lilly did a force shield around them.

Soon they were transported from the Sera manor to the Ravenclaw manor. They arrived in Kara's own room.

"First things first, we need to gather a suitcase for my clothes. Lilly can you do that you can find on in the wardrobe top shelf. Holly can you keep track of by father and Marici she won't be able to track us very well but I'm sure my father can very easily, Haley I want you to create a illusion of us several if you can. Keep them here for now until I tell you the moment to use them." Kara says.

"I think we should act as sisters tomorrow. You've got plans with Holly today, haven't you?" Haley replied. "I don't want to get in the way of your lovey-dovey time."

Holly just blushed and looked down when Kara said she's confess her love to her. She liked the idea of Kara thinking they were cute, though.

The girls went through in shielding and teleportation preparation and soon appeared in Kara's room.

Kara gave out instructions to each girl. Lilly went in search of a suitcase and found one quite quickly. Holly tapped into her magic and focused on scrying on both Marici and Kale. She didn't do it directly on them both but, as soon as she got their presence discovered, she scryed on objects in the room and made sure to keep them both in her sights. It was hard work but it had to be done. Haley had already created a couple of illusions of each of the girls and kept them in the bedroom for now.

"Yes, I do and I hope we can have a lot of fun together Holly" Kara says. She looked over at Haley and smiled. "I wonder how it will be what kind of mischief can we pull off together?" Kara giggled at the idea.

Kara then went over to the door and opened it to get a peek outside the room. Then turned and looked back at the others. Then went over and helped Lilly pack the suitcase she made sure to show Lilly her clothes. Which were both gothic style and kiddy style as well even going as far as to show Lilly her panties. Once done they went back into the room.

"As we are here I best tell you the first part of my own history.

I am the child of Kale Ravenclaw, who is the head of Ravenclaw Industries. I have spent many a year at home along training in wind magic. I became an empowered one at the young age of 4. By making a contract with the wind spirit 'Beltran' my father thought the basics or controlling my new found power. By putting me through harsh training sessions. He wanted me to become very powerful. And one day take my place as a elemental avatar of the wind.

Yet, during my first training matches with my father, I was down right scared never before had I done real combat before. Let alone fighting against my own father which was another thing. My father at first told me not to be afraid as this was the first step to mastering my power. He also told me he wanted me to become cold as ice. To attack without mercy he pumped this into me as he beat me down physically and emotionally during that fight.

As I lay there in a small pool of blood and my clothes ripped to shreds. I had an accident where I peed herself in fear. At the thought of my father trying to kill me. He walked up to me and demanded me to get on my feet no daughter of his would be cry baby. I weakly got to my feet as my father walked away. Everyday after that day he would do the same things to me everyday during my training.

Lilly found the kiddy styles clothes to be really cute but the Gothic style ones she weren't really that much of a fan of. Lilly looked at the panties once and then quickly turned away from them as she blushed bright red.

Kara recounted the first section of her past and each girl listened.

"At least I didn't turn Empowered until I was six. It must have been hell for you with having to go through that at the tender age of four." Lilly replied.

"What he did was unforgivable. I thought Mother was bad but that's taking it to a new low." Holly said with a shake of her head.

"Hit list revised. Kale Ravenclaw, high priority." Haley stated.

Kara listened to everything that the girls had to say so far.

"It really was hell for me he still did it even now before I ended up at your house the other day. He beat me down so bad I thought I would die, all because he had to use 2 mil CP to get me out of prison I was only healed by someone named Charon" Kara explained.

She then told them another part.

"Slowly I took in my father's words and started to become stone-cold while in combat. Not caring about others slowly starting to learn to better control my powers. Secretly I'm sure he was proud of for I was turning into the person that he wanted me to become. A stone-cold killer who would kill without thought or mercy.

I had always been alone most of my life, I had Marici as my sister and we were close but something changed in those years she turned from being nice to a bitch. I didn't have many friends growing up. Seeing as how they all feared me knowing who my father was and all. I had somewhat of a happy life at home, I loved my late mother dearly but one night she was killed by three empowered ones. Who were enemies of her father this all happened when I was eight years of age. Which you should already know but I'll tell you again once we reach my parents room" Kara says.

As she started towards the door and motioned for the girls to follow her. Once outside and the coast was clear she turned east and headed for her father's bedroom.

"He shouldn't be in there right now as he likes to spend the mornings in his study reviewing stuff for the day"

The girls were unfamiliar with the name 'Charon'.

"Who's Charon?" Haley asked. "Your old man's cheap money grabbing w*****!"

"You mean the ferryman of Hades or someone else?" Holly questioned. "Haley, I know Kale's bad but don't use that kind of language!"

"I not sure who he is. Can you tell me a little about him?" Lilly requested. "Haley, you shouldn't swear like that. It's wrong for a girl to swear."

Kara explained her story further and led them out of the room towards her father's room.

"The only people I'm close to are Lilly, Haley and you, Kara." Holly answered.

"I had a few friends back in my old school but they were more like posers who wanted money." Haley grumbled.

"I never tried to make friends as Mother always threw me into studying Accounting in my free time." Lilly replied.

"Charon is someone nice he healed me back up plus he is helped me unlock some of new found powers. He seems to have the ability to read others and know most of everything about them. If they let him know it he also told me a few things about you guys and how you each fight for each other. Charon helped me make the choice of who I want to fight for and I want for each other you and I really want to protect Holly" Kara says.

They walked down the hallways until they reached her Father's room.

"I'd like to me closer to you Holly if you let me, I feel sorry for you all on that as if we had met sooner we could maybe have all been friends"

Kara opened the door and all the girls went inside. The room was actually quite large if you took Lilly's and the twins room and combined them both they would be the size of his room. In the middle of the room and a large king sized bed surrounded by mini raven statues. A large marble desk was located to the east by the windows. A couch was near the wardrobe by the west wall.

"This is where I found her I thought she was asleep and tried to wake her up. I kept shaking her body thinking maybe she was playing a joke on me. Yet I saw the blood on the bed and the floor picture the hell-room of yours Lilly but picture it with a lot more blood. Splattered all over the bed, and walls. I kept begging my mother to wake up crying and not knowing what was going on. I tried everything I could at that age even kissing her lips and hugging her but nothing happened." Kara said.

Tears started to form in her eyes.

"That's when my life changed for the worst"

The whole explanation of Charon went over the girl's heads. They only got the bit that he was a nice person who helped Kara a little but the rest seemed to be gibberish to them. The ending, however, of how they fight for one another and how Kara fights for Holly got through.

"Don't put yourself in danger for my sake." Holly replied with a blush.

They continued on to Kara's Father's room.

"Yeah, maybe." Holly answered.

Kara explained how she found her Mother lying dead on the bed. Lilly and the girls had already heard this before and Haley had even seen that moment so it wasn't that much of new news for them.

"I lost my Father when I was just a baby so I never really knew him that well. To lose someone so close at eight years of age would be horrific. I thought it was bad when I lost these two little devilish angels but at least they're with me again." Lilly answered.

"I just want to help yet there is more to that though but you will find out at a later date" Kara told Holly.

She then listened as Lilly told her about her Father.

"It truly was after that day I lost myself into the darkness that had been building up inside of me. We should leave this room we need to head to the training room which is located underground." Kara told the group.

She then went on to explain some more.

"Several months later I tracked down the empowered ones who killed my mother. I remember a time when in a single night three empowered ones were killed though to this day I still remembers. And wonders why this even happened in the first place yet tries to forget about it the best she can.

For it was a bloody battle that day the dead bodies could be seen. Laying in the main square in large pools of their own blood broken weapons lay about here and there while a single girl. Could be seen standing within this huge mess covered in the blood of those I had slain just recently.

For I could only be seen for a short while before vanishing. Entirely out of sight but a few of the townsfolk had just caught sight of it for they wondered at just who or what had caused. Or did all of this for it was only a moment for what they saw that truly scared them.

The townsfolk quickly ran away from the area screaming and calling for help. From anyone else that maybe near by though unknown to them Kara was watching from the shadows with a smile upon her face. For once she was truly happy finally I had the means to take out my anger and revenge on the types of people who murdered my mother when I was still just a child. Once the people were gone and the sounds of footsteps could be heard getting closer I left the area."

Kara continued to explain her story to all of the girls as they headed to the underground training room.

"Murder brings murder it seems." Holly quietly replied.

"That sounds like the sort of thing which happens in anime." Haley answered.

"I've done some bad things as well. You've probably seen the confession." Lilly told Kara.

Kara was in the lead making sure to keep the girls out of sight. She stopped them on a double set of stairs. She looked down and saw her Father walking down the hallway he seemed to be walking somewhere.

"Shh" Kara mentioned.

She turned the girls around and headed back to her room.

The girls were suddenly stopped, gestured to be quiet and hurried back to Kara's room.

"I'm sorry, I was meant to keep track of them." Holly apologised. "I can't scry on him directly as he'll know."

"No, it's okay Holly you did your best which was very good I'm proud of you. Yet this seems rather odd for him he's normally in his study something is off" Kara told the girls once they were back in her room.

"I think we should spy on my Father for a while I still plan to take you to the underground training room" She says.

Downstairs Kale stopped and looked around he felt something which seemed familiar to him. He turned and looked towards the stairs.

"I've also lost track of Marici. We may have two people to contend with." Holly responded.

"We've got to lay low until our detection metre goes down and then keep to the shadows." Haley said with a smile. She seemed to be enjoying this.

"This isn't a game. A little exclamation mark won't appear above our heads if we're found out. We'll likely get smote by something." Lilly stated. "But we can treat it like one, right?" Lilly added on with a smile.

"Time for some stealth mode missions!" Haley beamed.

"I guess but we have to keep our guard up though" She says as she moves closer to Holly. She kneeled down towards her. "I'll keep you safe" She whispered then got up again and placed a hand on her shoulder for luck.

Kale started up the stairs and looked around that feeling seemed to be getting stronger yet also weaker. "Something is off"

"Maybe we should hide? Just in case he comes in." Haley suggested.

"Got anywhere you could fit four people in here and have them completely covered?" Lilly asked.

'There's a hidden room in the back of my wardrobe" Kara answered. She started towards her wardrobe with the other three girls.

As she walked towards it she opened the door again to her wardrobe and headed to the back of the room. Where a door was located she opened it and motioned for the others to get inside.

"What is it with wardrobes, bookcases and hidden rooms?" Haley sighed. "It's just so obvious it's not really secret any more."

The girls went with Kara's instructions and hid in the secret room.

"You sure he won't find us here?" Haley asked Kara. "Wardrobes are the first place to search for people hiding and I stand with my previous statement."

Kara ignored Haley's comment.

'Shh" Kara told them when they were all inside the room. The room was rather small and was much like Lilly's small shrine room in the far corner of the room was a small statue to Beltran followed by many small raven statues.

Haley kept quite and Holly huddled closely against Lilly. She was now in the middle of both Lilly and Kara.

Like with all the Ravenclaw rooms, there was raven statues and a larger statue of another raven-like creature. The room was silent until Haley's stomach growled quite loudly. Only then did it occur to Lilly and the twins that they'd skipped breakfast.

Kara heard both of the twins stomachs growling quite loudly. She feared that her Father would hear it and come into the room however the statue of Beltran behind them heard it his eyes glowed red. For a moment then turned away back to normal.

Kale heard a sound and walked into Kara's room. He looked around and heard the sound again his footsteps grew louder as he entered the wardrobe.

"Haley the illusions use them now" Kara sent her.

"Sorry! I skipped breakfast." Haley quickly apologised while whispering. "I didn't think this'd happen."

On Kara's instruction, Haley let the illusions activate.

"They're up." Haley told Kara.

Soon Kale near something was totally up her felt the stir of magic in the air. He headed for the room at the back of the wardrobe. "Haley send them at h" Kara's voice trailed off as he then opened the door. She screamed as he Father saw them in the room however he only saw her.

"You!" He screamed as he reached and grabbed Kara's hair and then smacked her hard across the face. Pulling her out of the room and into her own.

After seeing what had happened, the girls couldn't just stand around and watch Kara take a beating because of them.

"We may be going way out of our league here but he needs sorting out." Lilly stated.

"Four on one seems good enough to me." Haley agreed.

"I'll do what I can for Kara's sake." Holly said with a nod.

They ran out of the secret room in pursuit of Kale. Lilly managed to catch up with him.

"Hey!" Lilly shouted at Kale. "Leave Kara alone!"

Kale still had Kara by the hair he slapped her across the face once again. She cried out in pain as she saw the girls run into the room.

"You I should have known she'd go running to you" Kale shouted at Lilly.

He slapped Kara hard across the face again. Then was surrounded in a ball of wind magic and they both left Kara's room she was taken to the underground training room.

"Trace that signature!" Lilly told Holly as Kale teleported away. "We'll catch him running!"

Lilly and the girls changed into their battle outfits and headed towards the location of the magical signature. They had no idea where they were going but they trusted Holly's instincts and found their goal. They hurried on in after Kale.

Kale arrived in the large underground arena as it was surrounded by four large raven statues. He tossed Kara to the ground and changed into his battle armour.

"I'm going to enjoy this" Kale laughed. As he used the wind to pick Kara off the ground she hung in the air.

Kara used her magic to help the girls find her easily.

"You think you can just throw your weight around when things don't go your way?!" Lilly shouted to Kale when they entered the training area.

"You're a cheap bastard who care more for money than his own children! You don't deserve Kara you w*****!" Haley continued Lilly's challenge.

"Kara's not bad, she's nice! You're the bad one here for all you did to Kara!" Holly finished.

The girls stood side by side in their battle outfits. Lilly was flanked by the twins and they all had their pact weapons at the ready. Lilly was dual wielding Purgatory and a magic crafted sword, Holly had Redemption pointing towards Kale and Haley had her sword, which she had newly dubbed 'Damnation', pointing at Kale as well.

"Let her go before we get serious!" Lilly ordered.

Kale turned to face the three other girls and just laughed as they threatened him. "Your one to talk girl I've seen the way your bitch of a Mother throws around her weight you're just like her" Kale spoke to her calmly then looked at Haley.

'You know nothing of what I went through I lost my wife and nearly lost Marici. Five years ago during the 'Dark vs Light' tournament" Kale told her.

Last her turned and looked at Holly. "You know nothing of the real her buried beneath everything inside of her"

He then noticed the weapons in their hands he could believe it he knew of these swords having read about them in a old ancient book several years again there were four in total Purgatory, Redemption, Damnation and Eden.

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us," Kale said as he spoke about Purgatory.

He then looked at Redemption. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith." Kale says as he spoke about Redemption.

He looked last a Damnation. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Kale replied as he spoke about Damnation.

He laughed again then turned back to Kara and punched her in the face not once but twice. Kara cried out in pain he turned back towards the others.

"You think you can even stand a chance against me?" Kale taunted he summoned into his hand a small blade of wind and thrust it into Kara's stomach. Lightly at first then pushed on it harder Kara again cried out in pain as fresh blood was seen staining the small wound on Kara's lower chest, Followed by another blade he stabbed it into Kara's chest once again she screamed and he punched her in the face,

Kara was crying as she looked at her friends.

"Run, run away you're no match for him" Kara screamed through the pain.

Kale silenced her with a hard slap across the face. He then looked at the girls and and spotted Holly. "You shall be first for I know what you can do for I witnessed your skills in the battle in front of my house!" Kale spoke coldly.

"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever." Kale replied as he formed a spear of wind in his hand and sent it flying at Holly.

"Holly run away, run away" Kara screamed.

Kale started to quote from the Bible regarding each of the girls swords.

"Going Biblical on us now, are you?" Haley scoffed. "Think your God can protect you after what you've done?!"

Kale further abused Kara and shot a wind blade towards Holly. Lilly and Haley jumped in front of her and crossed their blades to block the wind blast. Haley's blade appeared to drink the spear into itself and glow a reddish colour.

"And leave you in the hands of this psycho? No way!" Holly shouted back to Kara. "Righteous Wrath!" Holly cast.

Righteous Wrath fills all allies with a single purpose, to extinguish their enemies. This improved bonding allows no dispute between the allies and their course is set. They gain immunity to fear, charm and any mind controlling effects. They also have improved Morale against any debilitating magic so they are less likely to be affected by it. They also have improved combat potential.

Haley held her action and so did Lilly, they knew what they'd do next.

"You have no idea of what your swords are truly used for yet one seems to be missing?" Kale mentioned. He watched as both girls jumped in front of Holly and blocked the spear from striking her,

"Y..You don't know what you're up against he's toying with you" Kara called out.

Kale moved behind Kara and summoned another blade to his hand. He brought it up to her neck in a threatening manner.

"Power down or she dies?"

Kara was now held in a hostage situation. Haley and Lilly still had their held actions and Haley had a plan of sorts but she wondered if it could actually be pulled off successfully.

"Keep him talking. Keep his attention away from the left hand side of the room. I'll got round back and hide her." Haley sent to Holly through telepathy. Twin telepathy actually worked with the assistance of their empowered forms.

"How can you be sure he won't know? How will you bring her down?" Holly sent back.

"I'll think something up."

Haley combined her two actions to make herself become ethereal and create a duplicate of herself. What she hoped was that Kale didn't have true sight or be able to notice her. The only person who she knew who could see through her illusions is Holly. Haley then crept around the left hand side of the room to reach Kara.

"How can we be sure you won't kill her even if we did power down?" Holly asked. She then gazed over at Lilly. Her gaze suggested. Buy us some time!

"Blade down and we'll power down." Lilly responded as she dismissed Purgatory and her crafted blade.

Kale held the blade against Kara's neck he kept his gaze fixed upon Lilly and Holly. For a moment he looked at the left hand side of the room. "Tell the other one if she makes another step Kara here will suffer further" Kale stated as he moved down and stabbed the blade into her chest again. Kara screamed in pain.

"Because you truly won't ever know" Kale replied.

He then moved the blade away from Kara bloodied chest yet stabbed the blade into her chest. Once again laughing as he did so.

"Busted!" Haley whispered to herself when she heard Kale tell Lilly to stop her. With her guise broken, she let her etherealness fade and stopped in her tracks.

It was becoming increasingly harder to not kill this guy for the girls now. After all the suffering he's put Kara through, he deserves to be punished. Holly had one last Ace left but she knew none of them would like it. Would it be worth the risk even for Kara? Would it be worth the suffering it may cause? She had to risk it. In a flash of light, Holly and Kara switched places. Holly was now suspended with a blade at her throat and Kara was next to Lilly.

Kale soon noticed as both Kara and Holly switched places. Kara was now lying upon the floor where Holly had once been. She was still in pain from the wounds on her chest and was still bleeding.

"H..Holly why?" Kara called out.

Kale smiled at this with Holly trapped in the wind prison Kara had once been in. He took the wind blade in hand and brought it down slowly across her battle outfit trying to cut through it.

"Holly, what are you thinking?!" Lilly angrily asked Holly.

"Oh no. She's gone Man-Mode." Haley sighed.

Kale's blade managed to cut a line into the front of Holly's battle outfit but it hadn't dug deep enough to cut her skin.

"You keep saying how much you want to protect me but, now, it's my turn to protect you. You're too good for a Father like this psycho! He doesn't deserve someone like you." Holly answered. "Please, leave while you can."

"We're not leaving you! No! We won't!" Lilly shouted back.

Kara watched as her Father cut into Holly's battle outfit he then used the wind to cut through the top part of her outfit. Ripping it to shreds he then brought the small wind blade across Holly's small chest. Making small cuts across her skin.

"No, I won't leave you" Kara shouted at her.

She tried to get to her feet she even called upon her own powers. She changed into her own battle outfit.

Kale then stabbed the blade lightly into Holly's chest.

"Holly!" Kara screamed.

Holly bit back the pain of the wind blades cutting her skin. Tiny little scratches now covered her chest. Some bled while others looked rather red.

"Go while you can! I can take this. Please, listen to me!" Holly pleaded again. "I won't let him hurt Kara any more!"

Kale jabbed the blade lightly into Holly chest now. She let out a stifled cry as her face was racked with pain. Tears started to form in her eyes but she still held strong. Blood started to pool around the tip of the blade.

"You're nothing but a sadistic psychopath who loves seeing girls suffer!" Holly degraded Kale. "You've no right to be human let alone a Father!"

Lilly was frozen to the spot as she saw Holly stand against such impossible odds and challenge someone with nearly one hundred times as much power as her. Haley just headed back to Kara's side and helped her up.

"N..No I won't let him hurt you won't want to protect you" Kara shouted at Holly. As he watched as Kale ran his blade across her body once again creating more cuts into her skin. He had used the wind to cut through the rest of Holly's battle outfit.

Kara was soon helped to her feet.

"Is that so?" Kale asked.

He let the wind blade disappear and then summoned more blades like before and used them to cut across her body. Before summoning the spear again and thrusting it into her chest.

"N..NOOOOOO" Kara screamed.

The darkness aura was started to seep out of Kara and she was beginning to lose control.

"RUN!" Holly repeated again before Kale cut into her more. Her chest was now criss-crossed with bleeding cuts. She was clearly in a lot of pain but she refused to show it to Kale.

Kale continued his cutting torture on Holly and she couldn't help but cry out in pain now. Her cries were soon cut short when a spear thrust into her chest.

Holly's vision was starting to fade with a mixture of tears, pain and blood loss yet she still continued her insult barrage.

"You're sick." Holly weakly countered. "Is that the best you can do? I'll never let you hurt Kara."

Holly's heartbeat was becoming weaker with each breath. She knew her time was coming short.

"You'll get what's coming to you. You're beyond redemption and purgatory. Damnation is the only thing you're fit for. Don't cry out for justice when your soul is as black as the deepest pits of the hell you spawned from. May you suffer eternally for the crimes you committed."

Holly coughed up blood before becoming silent.

Lilly screamed in despair as she watched her sister die right before her eyes again. Her battle outfit faded as she fell to the floor in tears. Haley was soon to follow Lilly's lead.

Kara screamed in fury and loss as she saw Holly take the punishment and was tortured to death. By her Father Kale pulled the spear from Holly's body and let the spear dissolve. Kara screamed and wept at the loss of Holly the darkness around her surged forward.

"W..why do this for me?" Kara asked herself.

She didn't understand it. "Why didn't you run when I asked, now I'll never be able to see you laugh, cry, or smile again. There was so many things I wanted to do with you no I'll never get that chance" Kara sobbed.

Kale the tossed Holly's body to the side Kara quickly ran towards her, She wrapped her arms around Holly's cold body.

"W..wake up please wake up" Kara says as she seemed to stop once again she was shaking Holly's body. Begging her to wake up much like she had done when she lost her Mother years ago yet Holly didn't move. She just held her in her arms and kept on crying as she rocked her back and forth. The darkness around her seemed to fade away.

"I won't let you sacrifice be in vain please Amaterasu help her bring her back to me and her sisters. Whatever the price I'll pay it?" Kara cried out in despair.

A unknown light soon surrounded both Kara and Holly's limp form. She turned to look at her father with a look of pure hatred.

"You killed the one I cared for most you will pay for that" Kara screamed.

The unknown light flooded into Kara's body and she was engulfed by the light, When the light faded Kara could be seen once again yet she looked different. Kara's hair becomes black as a raven's feathers with a very slight white tone added and lengthens to her knees while her bangs and side parts before the ears also lengthen. Her eyes turn a bright green color Kara is usually seen in a form consisting of a black bikini-esque outfit with parts of purple and smaller white glowing pieces. The bikini top is black and purple in colour and covers her small breasts quite well. White highlights are around the edges of her top. She wears a pair of black and white bikini panties that are made of silk. Purple highlights are around the edges of her panties.

Around her neck Kara wears a small necklace in the middle is a locket with a tiny picture. Of Holly inside of it smiling behind her back are a pair of four large black raven-like wings with small white feathers.

The armor on upon both of Kara's arms are much like the armor on her legs. The color is black and made up of ancient magic and obsidian and the armor covers all of her arms with ancient runes placed upon them. At the elbow joint there is a pair of spikes that stick out four inches. Her gauntlets are black and have a symbol of a raven on the back side of the hand and a bunny upon the inside of the palm the tip of each fingertip has been shaped into points so they can be used in melee combat. Between each knuckle of the gauntlet there are one inch spikes that have a slight tint of white in them. Her boots contain ancient runes and symbols to increase her speed and movement.

Suddenly a two words formed in her mind and came to her lips she wasn't sure what these. Words were or even what they would do maybe she could help Holly in some way or maybe not but she said them anyway,

'Radiant Blast'

When Kale removed the spear from Holly's chest, a spurt of blood shot out to splatter on the floor. Just before the tattered remains of her outfit faded, Chaki's sigil could be seen where the spear was thrust in. It was over her heart. Chanki had claimed her heart as his pact price. Holly was living for Chanki, in theory.

Kale tossed Holly to the side and she bounced once on the floor before settling into a pool of her own blood as the spear wound to her heart bled out. Lilly and Haley rushed to Holly's side.

When Kara tried to use the bound powers, nothing happened. A small piece of text appeared in Kara's mind.

'Link Broken. Reason: Death. Subject: Holly Sera. DoB: June 7th ****. DoD: June 3rd ****. Age at time of death: 9 years, 361 days. Cause of death: Multiple lacerations followed by a spear to the heart resulting in ruptured organs and loss of blood. Killer: Kale Ravenclaw. Immediate Family: Lilly Sera (Sister, 12 years of age), Haley Sera (Twin Sister, 9 years of age), Marie Sera (Mother, 36 years of age). Witnesses to demise: Lilly Sera, Haley Sera, Kara Ravenclaw (Friend of Deceased).'

A small white dog appeared to only Kara. It was sitting on its hind legs overlooking Holly's lacerated body. It let out a quiet whine before nudging Holly's face with its nose.

Kara had tried to use her new bound powers but for some reason nothing happened. Her own outfit seemed to fade and shatter to pieces she felt despair well up inside of her once again she had thought this would have worked out.

Kara then noticed a small text that appeared in her head she read the text and dropped to her knees. She then could see the small white dog sitting next to her body.

"Please save her I said I'd protect her but I failed her please whatever it takes or whatever price it is please I beg you?" Kara asked,

Fresh tears fell from her eyes.

Kale laughed for a moment then with a wave of his hand her blew both Lilly and Haley away. From Holly and Kara knocking them back against a wall.

Haley and Lilly put up no resistance as Kale blew them back against the wall.

The dog nudged Holly again and padded her chest with its paw. The wounds started to close up but not much else happened. Holly was still immobile and gradually cooling. The dog then licked Holly's lips before patting her chest above her heart again. Maybe it was trying to tell Kara something?

Kale locked both girls against the wall and turned to face Kara.

Kara looked at the dog and then over at Holly's whose wounds had started to close up. She wasn't sure what was happened she then saw as it padded Holly's chest above her heart.

"What?"

The dog glared at Kara unamused. A tiny storm cloud appeared above its head. A blot of silent lightning blasted down and a gust of wind blew across the cloud. The dog then licked Holly's lips and patted her chest again.

It seemed that the dog was angry.

Kara still wasn't sure what it wanted her to do but it then saw as it licked Holly's lips and patted her chest again. She then blushed at the thought of what she had to do as it slowly then began to dawn on her. She moved over to Holly and started to place both hands upon her chest and pushed down before reached over with her mouth and blowing air into Holly's mouth.

The chest compressions didn't work and neither did the breaths at the moment. The dog repeated its procedure of storm cloud and wind blast but put emphasis on the order. Storm cloud, then wind blast. Lightening then wind. Shock then breaths.

Nothing seemed to work and the dog once again showed her what must be done. She finally took sight of the lightning she then called on her own lightning attack and started to shock Holly's limp form above her heart. She started to do what the dog had showed her how to do.

The lightning shock caused Holly's body to spasm a little. The breaths began to cause Holly's chest to rise and fall and soon enough she was breathing again, albeit weak breaths. The blood pumped from her heart around her body and began to return warmth to her. She was now in a stable unconscious state. The dog yapped in delight as it wagged its tail. It then disappeared back to wherever it came from.

Text appeared in Kara's mind again.

'Link online.'

Kara saw what was now happening to Holly she appeared to be responding to what Kara was doing. Her cold body got warm once again and her breathing started to return to normal. Though slowly at first the text appeared in her mind once again. The power she had before seemed to return to her once again and she said them same words once again.

'Radiant Blast"

Once Holly was breathing again, Kara tried the blast.

A huge golden semi-circle expanded forth from Kara up to a total of 20 ft in an arc. When the circle touched Holly, she was engulfed by a pale yellow light and her condition seemed to get better. She was now breathing normally and was starting to show signs of awakening but was still ultimately unconscious. It may take another blast to have her on her feet. If Kale was within the 20ft radius of the ability, he'd be knocked back 30ft and blasted by a blinding white light.

Kale had closed in on Kara and was about to attack her when he was knocked back 30ft. This surprised him and then was blasted by a blinding white light. All he really felt was a sting of power against him as he regained his balance and landed upon the ground.

Kara was surprised at what happened the wounds upon her own body seemed to reseal themselves and the blood upon her vanished, She looked at Holly in wonder and wondered if she had access to the other powers she had been promised she then turned her attention to Lilly and Haley.

"Girls she's alive Holly's breathing once more the white dog answered my help please I need your help I can't hold him off myself" Kara sent to both girls.

She then turned back to her Father.

"I'll never forgive you for what you did to Holly from this day forward a rid myself of the name Ravenclaw and take up the name Sera these three girls were more of a family to me. In these past two months than you have ever been to me in the 12 years I've lived they have shown me love and friendship and helped me feel happy once again I swear on my life that I will protect them always" Kara yelled at Kale.

Soon the image of a sword appeared in her mind and she summoned it forth in a form of dark magic. Dark Repulser is aqua-colored. Its grip is a darker color than the rest of the blade and is completely straight. It leads up to a hilt that is exactly perpendicular to the grip and is designed to look like a pair of conjoined dagger blades. At the center of the guard is a large aquamarine gem. The blade itself is a deep aqua color, the base of the blade has a light-aqua attachment that causes the blade to have a natural indentation when one traces its length due to the angle that the attachment bends at.

She held the blade in her left hand and shot towards Kale with amazing speed. She unleashed multiple swings and slashes with her sword at first Kale was taken by surprise. He felt a cut across his left cheek and then started to move faster than Kara could see each slice and swing of her blade missed its target. Kale used the wind currents to dodge with ease as he had a far better mastery of the wind element than Kara did.

Yet she kept up with her attacks unleashed it seemed that 30 attacks were unleashed in the span of just a few seconds yet all those attacks missed its target.

"You disappoint me Kara" Kale laughed.

Before he grabbed hold of Kara's right wrist and punched her in the face and then the stomach.

According to Kara, Holly was not dead. Haley checked for a heartbeat and Lilly checked for any other signs of life. Soon enough, they were both hugging the unconscious Holly happily and regained their composure. They were filled with newfound hatred towards Kale which was enough to spark them to go all out. They changed back into their battle outfits and went full defensive around Holly.

Kara lashed out at Kale and was soon beaten back. Haley dived in while Kale was preoccupied with assaulting Kara and attempted to do a rear sneak attack with her blade slashing in a left arc.

Kale kept up his barrage of beating the crap out of Kara he soon felt a cut across his back. Yet he turned to face Haley who had sneak attacked him. He sent a strong gust of wind at Haley in hopes of knocking her back against the wall. He then followed up by creating an even stronger wind gust and sent flying a tornado at her as well.

Kara struggled to get up off the ground she turned to Lilly. "We need to get out of here?" She says. As she struggled to get back up to her feet.

Haley hit where she wanted and was soon knocked back by a gust of wind. She just managed to right herself before she went tumbling into a wall. She quickly rolled to the side to avoid the oncoming tornado.

Kara said they needed to get out of here.

"We need Holly awake for that. She's the only one able to do a quick teleport away. You're too injured to do it. I don't want you pushing yourself." Lilly explained as she tried to wake Holly by kissing and hugging her. She would've shook Holly awake, had Holly not just had a death-turned-near-death experience.

Kale decided he had enough of dealing with Haley. He formed multiple tornadoes around her. Young body each one growing in size and wind speed. Kara took a quick look over at Haley she knew she was doomed. As the massive tornadoes started to move closer to Haley Kale.

"Enough games" He snapped as he powered up to full power.

"Haley get out of there!" Kara yelled to her.

She turned back to Lilly "does that mean you're worried about me?" Kara asked. She then looked at the prone form of Holly on the ground she went over and kissed her on the lips. Tried to shake her awake she even gave Holly's peach a small shock to try and wake her up..

"Did you hear what I had said earlier about forsaking my name and wanting to take on your last name I'd like to if I can join your family?" Kara asked.

Soon Kale was engulfed in a white light.

"Awaken Lucifer"

"Bit of a tight spot." Haley chuckled. Haley briefly disappeared for a second and reappeared outside the tornado circle. She quickly ran over to Kara.

"You shouldn't push yourself." Lilly answered with a blush.

After Kara's quick attempts at waking Holly up, she awoke with a shock as Kara zapped her tender parts.

"Kya!" Holly yelped as she jumped up. "What was that for?!"

Kara repeated her earlier request.

"Yeah, I heard you." Lilly replied.

"Same here." Haley answered.

"What?" Holly asked.

Kale was still engulfed within the white light and Kara knew what was coming,

"He's about to fully awaken" She said to herself.

She then saw that Holly was fully awake once again.

"We need you to teleport us out of here quickly" She said

Then turned and looked back at the others.

"I told them that I want to gain your family if I could as I do longer want to be a member of his family" Kara told Holly as she then pointed at her Father,

Holly was still a little foggy about the details given but she got the overall idea.

"I'm going to need updating on all that's happened since we were discovered by Kale and ran to your rescue when we get back." Holly answered. "All join hands and I can get us out of here."

Lilly, Holly and Haley all joined hands and waited for Kara to join the small circle. There was a space between Holly and Haley ready for Kara, at Haley's request. When Kara joined the circle, Holly cast the teleport spell and they were all whisked back to the Twins' room in the Sera residence.

The white light faded and Kale could be seen once again. He spotted the girls who were getting ready to teleport away from him. Knowing that this would be his only chance to kill one of them. He formed a long spear of black magic in his right hand and it looked the same like the one of wind he had created earlier. He then threw it at them.

Kara listened to what Holly at to say.

Kara then stepped forward and joined hands with Haley and Holly.

"I'll tell you everything when we get bac..." Kara's voice trailed off and became silent.

The spear that Kale had thrown had pierced through Kara's chest right before the girls. Were teleported back to the twins room.

Once they were back in the bedroom, each girl went rushing around to try and assist in keeping Kara alive after the spear to the chest. According to Lilly, Kara still had a weak pulse. Haley was sent to phone an ambulance and make up some story regarding a spear wound to the chest, Lilly attempted to cauterize the wound to prevent infection and Holly went about healing Kara as much as she could.

Kale smiled at what he had done and powered down he started to wave his hands and a shield formed. Around the house once again he had made a mistake of letting it down in the first place.

Kara was barely breathing her pulse was weak. She looked at the others and tried to smile to them her gaze fixed on Lilly and then to Holly. The wound on Kara's chest closed and was healed as much as it could be.

"Thanks..." Kara replied slowly.

She then blacked out and her clothes returned to normal.

Kara fell unconscious around ten minutes before the ambulance arrived. Kara was hurried downstairs by all three girls and into the back of the ambulance. Lilly explained the situation as best as she could, using what information Haley had briefed her with while awaiting the ambulance's arrival.

The ambulance rushed off towards a Sera funded hospital, the one Lilly was in after her initial encounter with Kara, and Kara was taken into an operating theatre. Lilly and the twins waited outside.

Kara was rushed into the operating theatre she had lost a lot of blood. They started to work on her as the girl's waited outside a short time passed which was about an hour. Soon Kara was in stable condition one of the doctors came over and started to talk with the girls. He needed to see Kara's next of kin weather it be her Father or another surviving relative, He also told them that Kara would be okay.

Yet the sound of footsteps could be heard coming towards the doctor and the girls. He had appeared out of a haze for he was the one who had been. Keeping watch on both twins and her had noticed something. Rather interesting between both Kara and Holly and had been sending everything he had to Charon. He spoke briefly with the doctor and something flashed in his eyes. The doctor nodded and then looked over at all the girls.

"We, meet at last come now let's get a bite to eat we have much to discuss" Chronos says.

The girls waited on edge as the time ticked by slowly. Holly was the most affected of all. She appeared to be in a daze and oblivious to the passage of time until she was overcome with a sharp pain in her abdomen. Holly knew what this pain signified when she snapped from her daze but she didn't want to leave the outside of the operating theatre and potentially be the last to hear of the news regarding Kara. Instead, she just gave in to the pain. If anybody asked, she'd have an excuse of being 'out of it' and not noticing. Strangely, nothing more than a spurt and a few drips came out before the feeling faded. It was probably more to do with nerves than an actual need. The inside of her panties were slightly damp now but the feeling was just like she'd dripped after using the toilet.

After an hour, a doctor came out and explained Kara's situation to the group. Lilly was about to explain who exactly did the wound and why it wouldn't be wise for a 'next of kin' to come along when a stranger appeared and spoke to the doctor. The stranger then regarded the girls and requested to converse with them.

"How do I know you're not trying to get us into the back of your windowless white van and violate us?" Haley asked with a cold stare. "I've been warned about random people offering food to children."

"U-um, I...I..." Holly stammered.

"Identify yourself. State your name and reason for wanting to see us and explain why you said 'we meet at last'." Lilly stated.

Chronos looked at all three young girls before him.

"My name is Chronos and I've somethings to discuss with all three of you and this is my first time. Seeing each of you in person as I've been watching you for quite sometime. Your sisters mostly as I know everything about both of them and you Lilly Sera" Chronos explained. Everyone else around them seemed to slow down and freeze in place like time had just stopped.

Chronos looked over at Haley.

"I can see now why both you and Kara are so much alike you're like a mini her. Tell me would you give your life for her, would you share your secrets with her?" Chronos asked.

He then looked over at Holly.

"You must be Holly Sera, I see something quite different in your aura you seem to have awakened. New powers of your own just like Kara has tell me do you have a ability called 'Radiant Blast'?" Chronos asked.

He then looked at Lilly once more.

"One of the things I'm here to talk to you about is Kara there are things you don't know about her. Things that are needed to be known also both you and your sister Haley will need to awaken new powers of your own to battle the threat that is to come"

The stranger, who introduced himself as Chronos, explained the reason he was here.

"So you've been watching us?!" Haley gasped. "Does that mean you've seen us bathe and...and..."

Haley was too embarrassed to continue. She now deemed this 'Chronos' as being just what she thought he was. A man with a windowless white van.

Chronos regarded each girl in turn and said a little about them

"What secrets?" Haley asked. "I've already put myself on the firing line for her once so why wouldn't I do it again?"

"I don't get what you mean." Holly quietly replied as she looked at the floor.

"You're going to need to run this through me a number of times before I understand it." Lilly sighed.

"Yes I've been watching you but doing that sort of thing no I have not actually I've been doing this. At Charon's request I'm sure you've heard about him from Kara? Don't worry he's not a bad man or anything." Chronos spoke.

If Kara had seen that Haley was embarrassed she'd find it cute.

"Whatever else that you haven't told Kara about I'm sure you've got something hidden away that. You don't want her to know about just yet. Then I guess that you would since you like her a lot more so than you know"

He looked over at Holly.

"Tell, me do you feel anything different about yourself when you're around Kara, Like you felt some way before but now something has changed and it seems different. What about your powers do you feel anything different about them?" Chronos asked.

He looked at Lilly.

"I'm afraid I don't have much time" Chronos spoke.

Chronos continued what he was saying. The girls nodded when he asked if they knew about the person known as Charon, who Kara had mentioned previously.

"I've got nothing major to hide." Haley replied. She seemed to be honest but anyone experienced in discerning lies and illusions will notice a slight apprehension with her answer. "I've told her pretty much everything, except things which only Lilly would know about when I was still really young."

"I don't feel that different. I just feel like I can trust Kara more than I did before." Holly answered. "They're pretty much the same as before."

"Then let's just go through the important things, okay?" Lilly responded. "There's a Cafeteria in the entrance area which we could talk in. We're not leaving until Kara wakes up so we've got loads of time."

Chronos listened as Haley spoke and seemed to pick up on the fact that she was lying, To him he didn't say anything about this though as being a master of time magic he was easily able to know what those things that only; Lilly would know about when she was younger. "What about the things hidden under your bed?" Chronos asked.

He then looked over at Holly.

"You say you trust her more than before yet I can see there is more to that than only that, Both you and Kara have a different colour to your aura's that I can see. Something in you as awakened yet you're unsure about it right now." Chronos told her.

She then looked at Lilly.

"Okay, the first thing you must know about is that both Haley and Holly. Would need to come before the council tomorrow afternoon for a meeting. This has to do with the recent death of an empowered one the other day. Two other lower ranked members shall be joining them for the meeting," Chronos first told her.

They started to walk towards the Cafeteria.

"Kara will wake up in time for she wishes to be a member of your family. This has been known to her for quite sometime but enough about that for now. I'm sure she's mentioned to you that something bad is coming soon?" He asked.

"There's nothing under my bed!" Haley quickly blurted out while blushing. "No, nothing at all!"

"I don't get any of what you're saying. I hope we can clear this up soon because it's confusing me no end." Holly replied.

Apparently, Holly and Haley had to see the Council tomorrow.

"Can I come along?!" Lilly asked quickly. "I don't want to leave them alone with people they don't know. Holly probably wouldn't be able to cope and Haley may do something stupid if she's unattended."

Haley was about to object when they started off towards the Cafeteria.

"She's been saying she wanted to ditch the Ravenclaw name all day. She's not mentioned anything about something bad happening that I can remember." Lilly answered.

"I believe your lying there Haley I know all that's hidden under your bed even the special stuff there" Chronos says.

He moved to look at Holly.

"Once Kara wakes up we can start to clear things up between you two" Chronos told her.

Seemed that Lilly wanted to come along.

"I believe you can and if Kara's up for it she should come as well. What I can tell you is that the other day someone was killed this was an arena or ranked match or anything" Chronos says.

He wanted to go into more detail but held himself back.

"Has Kara told you about when she gave into the darkness within her. There is far more than just the three deaths that she has caused much more" He said.

"Stalker!" Haley gasped. "You won't get me in your van!"

"I guess so." Holly replied. "I don't understand any of this."

"I thought it might come to this in the end." Lilly sighed. "People aren't happy unless they're killing another person."

It appeared that even amongst the ranks of empowered ones there were those who wished to prey on the weak for easy killings.

"She's only told us about the three kills she did to avenge her mother. She's not told us any more than that." Lilly answered.

He ignored Haley and heard Holly wanting to make her it would happen soon.

"Yet we don't even know who did this yet we do know it was a darkness/water user" Chronos told her. They entered into that Cafeteria and went over and took a seat time seemed to return to normal and the people around them started moving again.

"You'll have to ask her about then as it's something she wishes not to talk about really. Kara seems to have had a rather bad childhood. With the passing of her mother, The passing of her sister before she was revived the beating that Kale gives her." Chronos says.

They all took a seat.

"What do you three think of her father?"

"I know a water user but I don't know if she can also use darkness." Lilly replied.

"I've not been through much better." Lilly answered. "Nearly lost these two when I was six and nearly lost Holly again today. Plus, I'm bound to an evil ferret-demon which has practically ruined my life."

Chronos asked what the girls' thought of Kale.

"Hate him." Haley simply replied. "He deserves to die!"

"He doesn't deserve Kara. He's worse than Mother." Holly answered.

"They've pretty much summed up my thoughts on him." Lilly finished.

"You mean Yukina no she has nothing to do with this do you know anything on someone named Alyn?" Chronos asked to Lilly.

It seemed that all three of their lives were bad.

"Ah. you mean Chanki I know of him though there's someone out there far worse than him. You all must stick together Kara is included into this as she's apart of everything as well." Cronos told them.

They told him what they thought of Kale.

"Kale will get what's coming to him in time but he's a tricky one I'm surprised all three of you. Made it out of his place the way you are. As here I have a way for you three to remain hidden even from him" Chronos says.

He got up from the table then tapped all three girls on the head before sitting back down.

"I've placed you all under a protective ward that shields you from being seen by others. Plus what if I were to say I could help you make it so that Kara no longer has to suffer?" Chronos asked.

"Never heard of Alyn before." Lilly answered. The twins just shook their heads.

"Someone worse than him would be hard to imagine in my situation." Lilly replied. "What's going to happen?"

Chronos tapped each girl on the head.

"Tell us!" Lilly quickly requested.

It seemed that neither of the girls had heard of Alyn before.

"Did any of you hear the name Lucifer mentioned in your battle with Kale? for I believe what's going to happen will be starting with him" Chronos replied.

"That I can help out by getting some adoption pages made so that Kara would be able to join your family. It would need to be signed by both Kale and your Mother for it to become real would you three like to have Kara as a member of the family?" Chronos asked.

Meanwhile.

Inside the very same room she had been in the first time she had arrived at the hospital. After her battle with Lilly Kara slowly opened her eyes and a rush of pain filled her entire body.

"We heard Kara mention something about 'Lucifer' during the encounter but we thought nothing of it at the time." Lilly answered.

"We'd love to!" Haley happily replied.

"It would be fun, yes." Holly decided.

"So long as she doesn't steal my things or go through my personal effects I don't mind." Lilly responded.

"From what I can tell you is that 'Lucifer' is Kale's spirit partner and its a good thing you didn't face. Him in that form as I believe none of you would have survived" Chronos said.

It seemed that all the girls were up for it.

"It will take sometime to get the papers made up I'll let you know when that happens. You do know that since meeting you three as changed Kara's life for the better she glad to have such nice friends as you three" Chronos replied.

Kara's body ached all over she looked around the room and saw that she was hooked up to machines. Which seemed to be checking her heart rate and helping her breath. "Holly, Lilly, Haley?" Kara called out she closed her eyes and used the wind to locate her friends. She used the wind to tease Haley's peach and then used the wind to touch the other two girls cheeks. Yet when she found Holly she felt a strange sort of wind around her.

"Sounds strong but I've no idea what a spirit partner is." Lilly answered.

"You her Uncle or something?" Haley asked Chronos. "You seem to know a lot about her and her family."

"Perhaps a Godfather?" Holly questioned.

A gentle wind caressed each girl. This indicated to them that Kara was awake as wind doesn't normally blow inside a hospital.

"She's up." Lilly announced. "We'd best check on her."

"It's kinda hard to explain you know the more powerful forms that you and the girls take. Along with the form that Kara took in the fight that's calling upon your ally kinda like Chunky or something" Chronos said.

"I'm nothing of the sort my power allows me to look into either the past or the future so. The reason I know alot about her is I've seen her past as I have control over the power of Time" Chronos mentioned.

Kara sat in bed and was still thinking about what she felt around Holly. She also thought about a great many things such as her current family life. About the Sera's and the love they had for one another. She also thought of her own unhappiness she thought alot about the very dark time in her life.

It appeared that Chronos's power was an improved version of the twins' own past/future reading powers.

Lilly and the twins headed back to the emergency room which Kara was in. When they arrived, Lilly and Haley were surprised to see such a change in character in Holly.

"Would it be okay if I went in first and saw her alone?" Holly asked Lilly and Haley.

"Sure...why not?" Haley answered, somewhat surprised.

"I guess so." Lilly replied.

"Thanks." Holly smiled at the before she knocked on the Emergency room door.

Chronos excused himself from the girls before they arrived at Kara's room. he had some business that her needed to take care of after all,

Kara was still in bed she was still thinking about everything, She didn't like these thoughts that were going through her mind right now. But then she heard and knock on the door to her room,

"You can come in" Kara called out.

Holly was invited in by Kara. he slowly opened the door and entered the room.

"How are you feeling?" Holly asked Kara. "May I sit down?"

After the first answer, Holly took the visitors chair by the bed and moved it to allow her to sit on it.

"I'm sorry you ended up like this. If only I'd have been better with my Scrying we would have known he'd left his room."

When the door opened Kara was thinking that all three girls would walk into the room. As she had something to say to each of them. But she was surprised when it was just Holly that had entered and she wondered what this was about.

"For the most part better but I still feel like crap and ache all over and go ahead" Kara replied.

She saw as Holly sat down.

"It's not your fault it's mine I should never have taken you guys to my house. I could have just told you everything that had happened to me. If we had not of gone you wouldn't of had to die for my sake" Kara says.

Holly was determined to say what she wanted to so she ran it through her head one last time while Kara blamed herself for something which wasn't her fault. Once Kara was finished, Holly began pouring her innermost feelings out.

"Who's fault it was doesn't really matter any more. We're all alive and that's what's important. Back when you were imprisoned by your Father and being beaten within an inch of your life, I was overcome with an urge to protect you. I didn't want you dying. I wanted you to live, even if it cost me my own life.

"According to Haley, in every video game she's played, support classes are always selfless and overprotective of everyone else. I guess I stuck by that stereotype with my actions. I just couldn't let you take the blame for all we did. If it wasn't for us, you'd still probably be with Kale. I guess we saved you in a way and caused you more suffering in another. I dread to think what he would have made you had we not stepped in.

"Before I met you, I was always way too scared to try and make friends. Haley told me you saw all of our birthday pictures and read everything underneath them so you probably understand why I was. Anyway, I guess I'd better say it.

"Back when I started at primary school, I was never one for making friends. I tried and I tried but I never succeeded. On the other hand, Haley was just picking up friends like they were flowers. She was surrounded by a bunch of people who liked her. I guess you could say I was somewhat jealous of her. I tried even harder after seeing that and still didn't manage to make any friends. To make things worse, after an embarrassing accident at school when I neglected using the girls' room, I was branded with the most terrible names and knew I would never make friends after that. I retreated within myself then and rarely left Haley's side. You could say I was like her second shadow."

Holly chuckled dryly after her last statement.

"When I thought I'd never make friends in my whole life, you showed up and proved to me that I was only fooling myself by thinking that no one liked me. I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of you to begin with. You just seemed so scary after hearing that you attacked Lilly. I wasn't sure if you'd start on me next or not. But, after a while, I discovered that we're kind of like two peas in a pod. If you don't mind me saying, you didn't have many friends either, did you?

"I guess that small similarity made you more approachable. Lately, you've been the only person on my mind morning, noon and night. I don't understand why that is but I kind of like it. I really want you to be my sister. I want the adoption to go through. If you can't become my sister, sure, I'd be a little upset but as long as we can remain friends, I'd be happy.

"As I've already said, when I saw you being beaten, I couldn't leave you alone. I did a rather drastic move and suffered the worst for it. But, in my last moment of life, I wasn't scared. I knew that you'd pull through and find a way to bring me back to life. I was right to trust you. Thank you so much for that.

"I still want to go on that date with you later. If you're feeling up to it, that is. If not, I'll stay by your side for the rest of today."

Holly sat up and kissed Kara on her cheek.

"I love you, Kara."

A great power was emanating from the Card in Kara's possession. A faint blue light glowed from it as words appeared in Kara's mind.

"Holly Sera: Good friends."

"You'd better be better before our birthday. I want you to be in the family picture, whether you're legally my sister or not."

Kara heard as Holly poured out her innermost feelings to her she took this all in. Lest to say she was surprised to see this side of Holly before. She never knew that Holly had ever wanted any of this but she was clearly happy with what she had heard.

"Holly I'm not really sure what to say. I think I have come onto hard to you as I really want you. To like me and I wish we could be friends and maybe one day more than that. I've never had a real relationship with someone before and you are right as I have jumped from person to person. Please don't hate me for that as I don't know what to really do. I saw those pictures of you when you were younger and I saw that you looked so sad. Can I be that person in your life other than your sisters who makes you happy can we spend time alone together. Getting to know each other as I don't really know much about you?" She asked.

Kara thought about what else to say.

"It is true I didn't have much friends either" Kara says.

She then thinks over the part of her that really wants to say something and decided to say it.

"I don't like my life I've done so many horrible things I've killed many people. There have been times when I've thought about death and wished to kill myself. I hate the way my father treats me I don't like to be beaten it hurts I want to be held and loved. I want to be happy and have fun I'm sick of being sad. I wish my mother was still alive as I miss her so much and think about her alot" Kara spoke at last.

She then thought of something else.

"What I have always wanted was a family as for most of my life I've been alone. For most of my life I see the way you and your sisters act around each other. You're always so happy with each other and are so loving that's what I want in my life I want to be apart if that. I want everyday to be special and fun as I wish I can truly become your sister I also want to go out on that date with you and do other things with you like the date or we can spend time together. I can help you with things you need help with like your magic training or being a better person or just random stuff" Kara says.

She then grew silent as she saw the words in her mind and knew she was building her bond. With Holly some more and wondered how she could keep this going.

"I promise I'll be better for the photo as this might mean a new start in our lives. Plus can you help me with being a good sister? If the adoption goes through as it's been so long since I've last had one and am not sure what to do" Kara says.

She then looked over and saw her suitcase full of clothes.

"Can you open the suitcase and pull out the dress that has your favourite colours on it. I had packed that and planned to wear it for our date later." Kara told her.

Much as the words appeared in Kara's mind earlier a set of words of words appeared inside of Holly's mind.

"Wind magic active"

"Is there any way you can heal me more as I know I shouldn't be pushing myself just yet. But I really want to go on our date if you can't we can do our date here though I don't know what we can do?" Kara says.

Kara returned the innermost expression with her own and Holly felt something unlock inside her. It appeared she now had access to wind magic.

"I think I can but I don't know how good it'd be." Holly replied as she went over to Kara and placed her hands on the wound. Her bunny ears and tail appeared as a faint white glow came from her hands to spread throughout Kara's body. When she thought she'd done enough, Holly stopped her healing and nearly fell back onto her chair. She felt tired and had to take a breather.

"Healing's harder than I thought." Holly panted. "I'll open the suitcase when I've caught my breath."

"You will do a good enough job I believe in you" Kara told her.

She watched as Holly then placed her hands over her wounds right before her bunny ears and tail appeared. She could see the faint white glow that she felt her strength return to her. Though she still ached she felt that she was able to move around more than before. She slowly got out of bed and stood on shaking feet.

"I'll open the suitcase you rest for now and thank you very much" Kara says.

She slowly walked to Holly and stumbled a tad but reached her and gave her a big hug. "Thank you for everything" Kara said again.

She walked slowly to the suitcase and opened it she searched around and found the outfit. She then pulled out a very nice looking silk blouse and matching skirt. The blouse was pink in colour and had small red and blue roses the skirt itself was pleated and reached around mid-thigh. The skirt was blue and had pink and red roses upon it. The outfit also came with a matching frilly red vest and panty set that Kara found. She spotted a bathroom and walked over to it and opened the door.

Inside she took off her hospital gown and put on her new outfit along with some shoes and then. Walked back out stood in front of Holly.

"How do I look?" Kara asked.

As she waited for her answer she then thought of something.

"Do you mind if we stop somewhere first before we head to the zoo I'd like you to meet Charon. If that is okay with you if you don't want to just yet we can do something else?" Kara asked.

"I should also see your sisters before we go and make sure everything is okay. I'm sure that Haley is worried about me" She said.

Kara appeared to be looking a little better after the healing attempt so Holly thought she did good enough.

"Are you sure you should be moving around a lot? You're still badly hurt." Holly asked when she saw Kara get out of hugged Kara back before Kara set off to open the suitcase.

After rummaging around inside, Kara pulled out some pieces of clothing before she headed into the bathroom. After a little while, Kara left the bathroom in a nice blue, pink and red dress.

"Haley been giving you fashion tips? You look nice but the outfit has got a kind of 'old' look to it." Holly replied. "It's got most of the things I like on it but it's missing the 'cute' factor a little. Roses are nice but kittens are cute, even if they may be silhouetted."

"I guess we could do that." Holly answered, a little unsure how to take the question. "We've all been worried about you. Should I bring them in or are you going to them? They're outside at the moment."

"Truthfully I know that I shouldn't be moving around as much. But I don't want to be stuck in the hospital all day. Even though it's most likely the best place for me right now" Kara replied she walked slowly back over to her bed. She was breathing heavily and her body was aching a lot more than normal.

"Why do you say that?" Kara asked when Holly asked about Haley she that the dress looked okay.

"If we can I can ask him to heal me and can you bring them in please?" Kara asked.

She knew she was pushing herself way to hard right now maybe Holly was right and she. Should stay here for the remainder of the day?

"What I'm saying is that Haley probably told you what I like but she missed out a lot of minor details. Yes, I like flowers, but only when they emphasise the 'cute' factor of an outfit, like when you choose a flower pattern dress which is really colourful. This current outfit is okay but the colours clash a lot. A pink blouse would fit better with yellow or white flowers. A darker colour, like royal blue, would go better with blues, blacks and reds." Holly explained.

"I think it's kind of rude to ask someone you barely know to heal you for a second time. I don't know what He's like but..." Holly answered.

Holly then went to the door and called the others in.

"You're most likely right about that" Kara replied as she heard Holly explain what she liked.

Kara had once again climbed into bed and pulled the covers over herself. "Just forget about it then" Kara says as she saw Holly make her way towards the door to let both Lilly and Haley into the room.

"Great I'm stuck here with nothing to do as I have no idea of what fun we can have?" Kara thought.

"I never bothered to ask you this yet but what would you like for your birthday?" Kara asked.

She never really but a lot of thought into it as she had been busy with other things she still had. Two and a half days left to get Holly a present. She thought over something and looked out the window.

"Do you like to do any sort of challenge?" Kara asked,

"Just can't stay away from this place, can you?" Lilly joked as she entered.

"Going to bust out of here like last time?" Haley asked in reference to Kara's last trip to the hospital.

"Oh, um, I've not really put much thought into my birthday as of late. Too much has been going on." Holly replied.

"Don't forget about me!" Haley whined. "I've got a list printed out."

"Don't look at Haley's list, there's too much on it to be humanely possible to fulfil." Lilly sighed.

Kara asked a rather open and strange question.

"I don't quite follow." Holly answered, confused by the randomness of the question. "What do you mean?"

"I guess not" Kara sighed.

She looked away from the window and back towards the others who had entered the room. "No though I do wish I could leave this place" She replied to Haley.

"Wouldn't having me around be enough, and can I see this list of yours?" Kara asked her. Before she turned over and looked at Holly.

"I meant something like the Mega-Pop Challenge that me and Haley did a couple of times. But not with the side effects like what was thrown in. Something that you like to do fun and you might of challenged your sisters to in the past?" Kara asked.

"Sure, but you'll have to come home to see it. It's hidden in my bedroom." Haley answered.

"Under your bed with those things you stole from me, probably." Lilly commented.

"How did you know?!... Wait...there's nothing under my bed!"

"You give yourself away every time."

"Haley's more for challenges. I just like taking things easy but I wouldn't mind challenging you to a dance competition on either the arcade machines or our Wii at home." Holly replied.

"What things did she steal from you anything good?" Kara asked to Lilly.

She wanted to know more about what was hidden under Haley's bed. Before she asked she looked over at Holly.

"How about this once I'm better we can play the dancing game again?" Kara asked. She then looked back at Haley for a moment.

"Neither of you girls would ever steal something from me would you?" Kara asked.

"Snacks and books mainly. Nothing I can't live without." Lilly answered.

"I'm fine with that so you'd better hurry and get better now." Holly happily replied.

"Maaayyybeee." Haley answered with a sly smile and a chuckle. "Depends on what you've got."

"Nothing literal, but metaphorical maybe." Holly replied.

"There's only one Spider Monkey you've got to watch out for and she's already admitted to her scheming." Lilly told Kara.

"I'll try my best to get better soon enough" Kara told Holly.

She thought back to what both Lilly and Haley had said,

"That's something you will never know about. Plus maybe I should be more worried about Lilly here taking something of mine" Kara pointed out.

After she had said those words she thought about challenging them all to a game.

"I challenge you three to a game of twister" Kara told the pair before she looked over at Lilly.

"Would it be okay if Holly could spend the rest of the day with me?" Kara asked.

"Why would I want to steal your stuff? I've my own and that's all I need." Lilly answered.

The most tangled game was thrown towards the girls as a battle of who could get tied up the most.

"I know what you're thinking but I accept." Haley answered happily.

"I'm not very good at it but I'll give it a go." Holly replied.

"No skirts allowed, then." Lilly stated. "I know you're trying to sneak a peek."

"If that's fine with her." Lilly replied.

"I'm okay with it but visiting hours aren't that long here." Holly answered.

"Because I know what you really do" Kara told her and left it at that.

It seemed that all the girls were up for the game but Lilly was being a you know what again.

"I can sneak a peek whenever I wish and stop trying to ruin my fun" She told her.

:She wasn't a fan with crappy visiting hours.

"Now the only thing left is what can we do in the time we have?" Kara asked.

She then wondered if anything had happened when she had been out of it.

"Did anything happen when I was passed out like before I woke up?"

"You calling me a thief?" Lilly asked, a little angered by Kara's lack of trust in her.

"She just said 'no skirts'. Give her a break, I'll think of something." Haley answered.

"You're into that kind of family love, aren't you?" Lilly questioned.

"We can sneak you out. All we need is for you to have an examination to see if you're safe for discharge. If you are, they'll likely ask you to visit here again in a few days to check your progress. You're mostly healed, from what I can tell, so it shouldn't be too hard. They'll probably recommend no strenuous activity for a while." Holly explained.

"The only thing that happened was that a weird guy called Chronos admitted to watching Holly and I go about our lives." Haley replied.

"I'm not calling you anything just calm down" Kara told her.

"I'm not part of this family yet and geez lay off of me would you" Kara added. She herself was getting annoyed with Lilly's questioning.

She looked back over at Holly.

"Then that sounds like a plan as I've got things I need to take care of" She told her. She reached over and pressed a small call button that was located on the side of her bed.

"Chronos. Chronos I think I've heard that name before?" Kara said to herself. She was thinking it over when another thought roamed into her head.

"Lilly there was something I was meaning to ask you, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But when I was back in the picture room I noticed you did something to stop the bullying to both Haley and Holly what was it?"

The button quietly buzzed before a slight 'ping' was heard. This usually meant that a nurse was on their way.

"Is he your stalker too?!" Haley asked, slightly worried that this man was a repeat offender.

The dreaded question was asked. Lilly had been expecting further questioning ever since Kara's discovery of the Picture Room.

"They know what I did but I'd rather not say it in front of them again." Lilly answered as her face darkened.

No he's not my stalker I just think I heard my father speak of him before" Kara told Haley. As she waited for the nurse to arrive.

She could see the new look on Lilly's face after she had asked her question.

"It was that bad?" Kara asked.

She was guessing that it was as a silence hung over the room, So she decided to change the subject,

"Haley you still looking forward to when we can act like sisters for a day?"

"Soon, we may not even need to act as sisters as we'd already be them." Haley replied.

The Nurse arrived and was not pleased to see Lilly and the Twins in the room. They sent them away as it was outside visiting hours now and they still deemed Kara to be unfit for visiting,

Kara was about to say something but remained silent as the nurse sent Lilly and the twins. Away from her yet Kara said her goodbyes and waved to the girls sadly before they left the room. Leaving her alone the nurse then asked how Kara was feeling who told her she was feeling much better than she was but was still hurting. She asked the nurse if it was possible for her to leave here soon.

The nurse replied that it wasn't likely to happen anytime soon. Even though she felt better she still needed alot of rest and there was more tests that needed to be run, Kara sighed she hated being here and wanted to leave.

Lilly and the Twins waited outside Kara's room while the Nurse went about their business. They really hoped that Kara could be let out of the Hospital as Holly still had her date with her and Haley would be bored at home without her around.

The nurse checked over Kara and went about her business checking her over. She asked Kara a series of question which she answered the best that she could. She told the nurse still that she was okay but that she couldn't walk very well at the moment. As it made her feel very weak the nurse told her she shouldn't even be trying that as of yet. To just let nature take its course and regain her strength Kara also asked about whether or not she could be released from the hospital the nurse told her that she wasn't ready to be discharged just yet as they wanted to keep her at the hospital. Over night and they'd get word back to her the next day weather she can leave or not.,

A short time passed before the nurse was finished checking on Kara. She left the room and went over to Lilly and the twins she told them that they could visit Kara. For only a short time longer before Kara needed to get some rest..

None of the girls were happy with the news they were given. Reluctantly, they headed back into the room to spend the last few moments of visiting hours with Kara.

"You sure you wanna stay in here? We can beam you out if you don't and leave a copy behind." Haley asked Kara.

"I'm all for the beaming away as well but your health comes first." Holly added on.

"I don't want to be here anymore but I believe Holly is right I best remain here for the night" Kara told Haley.

She then thought of two things during the moments of silence. She looked over at Haley and Lilly and spoke again.

"Would it be okay if I could spend some alone time with Haley at some point we can hang out. And do fun things together kinda like what I want to do with Holly?" Kara asked,

She then thought of her second thing.

Why not create copies of yourselfs and once visiting is done you can leave them behind. And we can still hang out?"

"If Haley's fine with it and you're all better before you do it then I have no objections." Lilly replied somewhat reluctantly. Kara was stealing her sister's away and not even asking if she could do the same with her. She felt a little left out...

"Copies are rather pointless as they can only be programmed with a single action pattern, like a computer." Haley replied. "Nothing beats the real deal."

Kara turned to face Lilly had had yet to hear an answer from Haley on if she wanted to hang out alone or not. She didn't have to use her powers to notice that it took Lilly a moment to reply back to her. It seemed that something might be wrong with Kara wasn't truly sure on just what it was at the moment.

She then thought of something that might help though she wasn't sure if it would.

"Seeing as how I'm doing something with both girls do you want to do something together Lilly? I remember asking something similar a few weeks ago but we never had the chance. Since things kinda went to hell during that time?" Kara asked.

"Is there any chance you guys could stay here with me to keep me company? Like maybe using your magic to hide yourselfs from the nurses and doctors as I don't really want to be alone here?" Kara asked.

"So you finally remember that, then?" Lilly answered. "I just hope you act upon your word. I'd like to spend time with you as well, you know."

"You don't even need to ask me. I'd love to spend time with you!" Haley happily replied. "Just don't ignore the others, 'kay?"

"Not possible. Our magic won't last long enough. We've not got the stamina to do it." Holly sighed.

It still seemed that Lilly was quite upset.

'I've known about it for a while it was something I was looking forward to before. Before everything went to hell at that time, well anyway what would you like to do together?" Kara asked.

She looked to Haley who seemed happy with the idea.

"What would you like to do together Haley?" Kara asked. She then thought over the last part of what Haley had said. "I promise I won't ignore the others" Kara answered she thought of something. "I challenge you to the Mega-Pop challenge" Kara told her.

It seemed that it wouldn't be long enough for that to happen.

"What about in a dream like what we did the other night?" Kara asked.

Now that she had three dates with all three girls she thought on it all for a while.

"Seeing as how we all three have dates once I'm better do you want to spread them out over three days. Or have them all on one day where I'd spend the first part of the day with Holly. Then part of the day with Haley and last the part of the day with Lilly. We'd have to work something out so we can all have a certain amount of hours that are equal" She said.

The nurse then came back into the room.

"Sorry girl's but visiting time is over Kara here needs her rest now" The nurse told them.

"I'll think of something before the time." Lilly answered. "I don't really mind what we do."

"Again? We've done it twice already." Haley whined. "It'll be boring to do it another time."

"All of you need to be in the same room as me for it to work. We all need to join hands, remember?" Haley explained again.

"I think it'd be better to spread them over three days." Holly suggested. "That way, we've all got the same chances as the others as some places might be closed at certain times."

"Three days is best." Haley agreed.

"Wouldn't want to run you ragged after you've just recovered." Lilly added in.

The nurse came back and sent the girls away as visiting hours were over. Haley and Holly kissed Kara goodbye on her cheeks at the same time and Lilly said her goodbyes in her own way.

It seemed that Haley didn't want to do it again.

"We don't have to do it if you don't want to" Kara told her she felt a little sad about it though. "Plus I had thought it might be able to be done over large distances" Kara says but it didn't seem to work out that way.

All three girls wanted to do it over a three day period.

"Okay that will work out then" She told them,

Soon it was time to say goodbye and Kara kissed both twins on the cheeks after they did it, To her before saying goodbye to Lilly in her own way. Soon all three girls left the room leaving Kara alone in it.

After being sent away, Lilly and the twins began to head back home. Holly was still a little out of it as she continued to think of all the fun she'd missed today. She really wanted to go to the zoo and the bookstore but it seemed that that would have to wait for another day. Now, they had a twenty minute taxi ride home.

Kara hated the fact the she was stuck inside of the hospital. She had been looking forward to her fun with Holly today. It was eating away at her she wanted to get out of this place here and now. Kara just looked out the window and watched as the sun started to set. She even wished that the girls were still here as she didn't want to be alone.

The taxi ride home was a little problematic but it was nothing which the girls hadn't dealt with before. Upon arrival back to their house, Lilly paid the taxi fare and headed into the house. It was coming up to late afternoon so dinner wasn't far off for them.

Lilly and the girls headed upstairs and split up before going to their own rooms for a change of clothes. They'd put their best on in hopes of doing something memorable today but, ultimately, there wasn't really anything that great which happened.

Kara remained looking out the window feeling bored. She wasn't in the mood to watch anything of the tv in the room or even try and eat any of the hospital food which usually tasted bad. She wondered how the girls were doing right now and wondered what they were up to. As she turned away from the window she thought about what was going to happen to her tomorrow. She thought that no matter what she was going on her date with Holly.

Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her cell phone and decided to text Holly.

Kara to Holly: 'I hope we can go on our date tomorrow'

After she was done texting Holly she went on to text Haley and Lilly.

Kara to Haley: 'Wanna go to water park when I'm all better?'

She then texted Lilly.

Kara to Lilly: 'Wanna do a round of karaoke?'

After changing into some more comfortable clothes, each of the girls rejoined in Lilly's room. Each of them got a text a little after each other and they were all from the same person.

Holly to Kara: 'Me too but I want you to get better as well.'

Haley to Kara: 'Water park is more for a large group of people. If the others can come then why not? You just wanna see my swimwear, don't you? ;) '

Lilly to Kara: 'I'm not a great singer so I'd rather not deafen you with it.'

Kara got a text back from all three girls at once.

Kara to Holly: 'I will get better I promise you that'

Kara to Haley: 'I guess they came come along how do I know you don't want to see mine in return?'

Kara to Lilly: 'Neither am I but it still is a nice idea'

Kara thought about asking both other girls to the water park.

Kara to Lilly and Holly: 'Wanna go to the water park with Haley and I?'

Haley to Kara: 'You don't. One piece or two piece for me?'

After the initial suggestion, Lilly and Holly got asked to go to the water park.

Holly to Kara: 'I can't swim that well. I'm still learning how to. Plus, I'm embarrassed about how I look in a swimsuit \\\ '

Lilly to Kara: 'I guess so. Someone needs to keep an eye on Haley after all.'

Kara read the texts from each other the girls and thought of what to say back.

Kara to Haley: 'That's really up to you to decide I'm sure you will look great in either one how about surprising me?'

She then went on to text Holly.

Kara to Holly: 'There's no need to be embarrassed I'm sure you will look cute in your swimsuit. Plus can I help to teach you how to swim?'

Kara to Lilly: 'We can both keep an eye on her'

Haley to Kara: 'When you put it that way, I really can't decide. =P '

Holly to Kara: 'You're just saying that to make me feel better. _ I need all the help I can get when it comes to swimming.'

Lilly to Kara: 'Two's better than one when it comes to Haley.'

Kara to Haley: 'You could always ask one of your sisters for help or just take it slowly I'm sure you will think of something'

Kara to Holly: 'I'm saying that because I mean it plus I'll help you any way I can at swimming'

Kara to Lilly: 'True she can be a handful but that's what I like about her'

She finished up texting her friends before the nurse came into the room with her dinner.

Haley to Kara: 'I'd best decide myself, then. Lilly and Holly are no good when it comes to style.'

Holly to Kara: 'When you put it that way I can't really say no to it. I'll need to get a swimsuit unless you want me coming in my school one.'

Lilly to Kara: That's true. Text us any updates about it when you can.'

It was now time for the girls' pre-dinner bath. Lilly and the twins headed off to Lilly's en-suite bathroom and Lilly began running the bath. None of them felt like having the whole of the huge bath to themselves so Lilly's bath was the next best option.

Kara was able to get one last look in at the texts before she was given her dinner. Which was your normal batch of crummy hospital food. She then started to eat some of the small mashed potatoes and for a moment wondered what the girls were doing. maybe they were eating their dinner right now just like she was or doing something else. She turned from her meal and looked out the window.

"Such a boring time now" Kara thought.

She felt like checking in on them using her magic but thought against it.

The girl's pre-dinner bath was quick and enjoyable for all of them as they got to splash each other with water and mess around in the tub. Normally, Lilly would have prevented such things but she deemed it needed after what had happened today. Fun is necessary after every fight.

After their bath, the girls headed downstairs for dinner, which was pretty much like most of their dinners. Large, extravagant and expensive.

She went back to eating her dinner in silence the nurse had left Kara. Alone at this point so there wasn't much to do then eat again she thought of checking up on the girls. This time she gave in using the wind she located the girls at their home getting ready to eat dinner. She reached out and touched the wind to Haley and Lilly's faces letting them know it was her. How ever when she went to touch Holly for the briefest moment she felt a wave of wind respond back to her.

Not sure what caused it Kara touched Holly's cheeks then felt the wind. Respond back which still seemed rather weird to her.

While eating their dinner, the girls felt the same wind as before brush up against them. Without even having to think about it, they knew that it was Kara. None of them were that pleased with the brief interaction as Kara should be resting and not brushing people with wind. Anyway, there was nothing they could do about it at the moment so they just continued eating their dinner.

Using her magic started to make Kara feel a little light-headed so she had to stop what. She was doing yet she still thought about what she felt when she had used the wind to touch, Holly she still wasn't really sure just what that meant or anything. As she went back to eating her own dinner once the light-headedness passed.

After they had finished their dinner, the girls went back upstairs to Lilly's room to spend the remaining few hours before the end of the evening in each other's company. Despite their disapproval of Kara's wind connection, they still wished that it wasn't so brief. They'd have to go and visit her again tomorrow when they next had the chance if she was still waiting to be discharged.

Kara finished her own dinner and not really having much else to do decided to get some sleep. As today had been a rather eventful day as she was preparing to go to sleep for the evening she looked. Out the window once again and hoped that tomorrow she could get discharged from the hospital she wanted. To have fun even part of her hoped that one of the girls would sneak into the place and see her one last time,

The night continued and soon it was time for the girls to go to bed. Holly and Haley were the first to go around an hour before Lilly's own bed time. Instead of sleeping in their own room, they slept in Lilly's bed, despite her objections to another night of wet sheets. Even though she wasn't too keen on it, Lilly still let them sleep in her bed as she didn't want to be alone at the moment either.
