"Don't kill me!" May cried sitting straight up in bed and shielding her face by crossing her arms before her. She shook violently and when she didn't feel any attacks coming her way she opened her eyes to see that she wasn't under attack but she was lying in a bed with a piece of wet, cold cloth on her forehead. She removed the cloth and clenched her eyes shut as she let out a shaky breath. "It was just a dream…he didn't attack me." May whispered to herself as the malicious look on Drew's face flashed before her eyes.

May cringed at the flashback. She never felt so scared in her life. That was when she realized; if she was afraid of him how would she possibly stop Giovanni who she estimated was ten times stronger than Drew. An unpleasant shiver ran down her spine as her destiny became apparent again and she came back to reality. She was in Beng looking for the wood talisman with her friends and a guy who was out to skin her alive with his green fire.

"How normal can I get?" She muttered sarcastically as she slumped in the bed she was. May looked around and her hair slapped her in the face. She gasped and realized that someone had taken her hair out of its ponytails. She huffed and pushed her hair behind her ears. The room she was in was plain. Four wooden walls, a tan rug, a Beng emblem tapestry on the wall and a wooden nightstand next to the bed.

May let out an exasperated sigh and the door cracked open. May's breath got caught in her throat and she nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Drew enter the room and silently shut the door behind him. She looked around crazily and that was when she noticed her staff next to the bed. She picked it up and pointed it at him keeping him staff-length away.

"Calm down loser." He muttered pushing her staff aside and stepping towards the bed. May leaned up against the head board and kept her hands ready for attack with her staff at standby.

"Easy for you to say! I'll probably let my guard down and then whoosh I'm a pile of ashes seconds later!" She exclaimed leaning up further against the headboard thinking that it would save her.

"Honestly if I had the intentions of killing you in the cave don't you think I would have done it in the cave?" He said stretching out his words. May thought for a second but still wasn't convinced.

"You are evil…evil!!" She yelled for over emphasis. Drew crossed his arms and stared at her blankly as she continued on. "You yelled at me! You unleashed your manipulation element on me ready to attack and you called me names! Not to mention you are part of the region that wants me dead! Like all my other people! YOU ARE CRAZY!" She cried slamming her fists into the mattress. Drew blinked.

"Are you done?" he asked quietly. May was breathing heavily so she just simply nodded. "Well what all you said is true but…" he trailed off.

"But? Oh please don't tell me you're not gonna kill me but simply knock me out and bring me to Giovanni so he can have the honor!" May said sarcastically. Drew clenched his fists at the mention of his father's name.

"Don't ever say that!" Drew cried pointing at her. May cringed at his tone and shrunk back.

"Okay…that must be a touchy subject that I will not get into ever again."

"Good." He muttered pinching the bridge of his nose. "As I was saying in the cave…"

"MAY!" Rebecca cried busting into the room and launching onto May with the help of her abilities. Drew cocked his head to the side and stared in shock as the ebony haired girl nearly choked the brunette in a tight hug. "I'm so glad you are alright! When me and Misty found you and Drew sleeping in the cave we thought you guys were dead!"

"Becky say who slept with who where?" May asked quirking an eyebrow. Drew slapped his forehead. He wanted to be the one to explain to avoid this. May glanced over at him and he avoided eye contact with her.

"We found you sleeping on Drew in the cave! Drew said you passed out after shock and he admitted he was the cause of the lapse. Misty scolded him for that but he took care of you before he passed out as well saying he had nothing better to do being trapped in a cave and all." Rebecca explained quickly with one breath. May blinked and glanced at Drew again.

"Okay let me ask this again…BECKY say who slept with who where?" May repeated not being able to accept it. Rebecca rolled her eyes.

"YOU passed out from stress and shock and DREW," She pointed to Drew at that point making sure May understood. She stretched out her words as if speaking to a child. "HE helped YOU before HE fell asleep as well and ME and MISTY found YOU!"

"Okay I get it now and all I have to say is….WHAT!" May shrieked.

"I tried to avoid this but no…" Drew muttered to himself. "People just have to bust in out of nowhere and create drama."

"I thought he was gonna kill me." May stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Becky nodded.

"We did too."

"I'm glad to know I have people who trust me." Drew said sarcastically while smiling in a faux fashion before he began to scowl once again.

"Can you blame us? You tried to kill me before, you threatened to do it again, you're a jerk to everybody…" May listed counting the reasons on her fingers.

"Basically she's trying to say…we can't trust the enemy. We only brought you along because it was the right thing to do. To be honest Drew most of us don't think we'll ever trust you. You have a lot to prove and don't forget you didn't just destroy May's home but you destroyed my home as well and Max's and you tried to destroy Ash and Misty's. Dawn was hesitant to even let you near the city after we found you. You're lucky Johanna is so nice."

Drew glared at her before he sighed and looked in a different direction. He knew all that was the truth he just didn't understand why it got to him. He glanced at May who was staring straight at him. Her expression was blank but her eyes told him everything. They held fear, distrust and complete doubt but they told him something else that he couldn't name.

"Whatever." Drew finally muttered walking out the room. Becky sighed and looked towards May who sighed and relaxed after he left the room.

"So you did put your trust in him." She said. The brunette snapped her head up and gave her friend a strange look while shaking her head frantically in disagreement to the statement.

"I know who I can and can't trust." May retorted glaring at Becky. The ebony haired girl placed her fists on her hips and gave her friend a skeptical look. May shrunk under her scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh please May; we all know that you are practically the only one out of all of us that actually wanted to befriend this guy. I attempted but it seems that the only one he will let in is you. One could even say you like him and he likes you back." Rebecca said seriously while placing a hand on May's shoulder.

"NO! He only confides in me because I'm his target." May grumbled crossing her arms over her chest. Rebecca sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.

"You brought Drew along because of what Mikiko said but right now you're forgetting something else important that she said." She said. May narrowed her eyes in contemplation and thought for a moment. She practically memorized every bit of advice and proverbs that Mikiko had taught her.

"What?" May mumbled as she tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"The life we live is just an illusion to block who some of us really are. Potential can be reached, trust can be created, and love can blossom under any circumstance. Do not trust in the façade but the person who is hiding within it." Rebecca stated in a matter-of-fact tone as she stuck her pointer finger in the air.

"….."

"May?" Becky asked poking her.

"Bec, can I rest a bit?" Becky blinked in surprise before she shrugged and walked out the room. May sighed and sat in her lotus position on the bed and closing her eyes as she brought her fists together. Soon enough her eyes snapped open and were glowing an unnatural white color.

"This should not be getting to me as much as it is." Drew muttered to himself as he came up to the cave entrance. He sighed as he looked at it and he was about to step inside when a blast of white fire came rushing at him. Drew's eyes widened before he blocked the attack with his own green fire. He cursed under his breath and glared at the person coming out of the caves.

"Drew, long time no see. We all thought you were dead." Brendan said coming out of the caves with guards following him. "Did the Ping Heng really capture you?"

Drew didn't respond he just glared harshly at the smirking white haired boy. Without another word Brendan sent another blast of fire at him and he dodged by flipping out the way.

"If that is true I believe you may know where she is." Brendan added as his smirk turned into a look of disgust.

"Like I'm really gonna tell you if I knew." Drew muttered.

"Alright then if that's how it needs to be." Brendan sneered. Letting some of his guards go forth into the city. Drew tried to stop them but Brendan got to him first and stopped him by attacking him once again. Drew narrowly dodged this time but he knew he needed to find May. He ran back into Beng and Brendan smirked.

"You're leading me right to her…" He muttered before running after Drew.

AHH!! ATTACK!!

Sea: WHAAA!!

May: AHHHH!!
