Day 18

I woke up with a yawn. What I didn't realize was Firewalker in front of me. "Firewalker?"

"Hey Claudia…I got you something…" He whispered, not trying to wake the others. He pulled out from behind a kind of small box.

"Oh, Firewalker…that's so sweet of you…but you have to understand that me and Blizzard love each other. I just can't do that to him."

"I know, look inside…" He said.

I picked up the small box. It felt a little heavy. I opened the box, seeing that inside was a blue gem. It sparkled in the sunshine.

"A gem?"

"Not just any gem…this gem can help you when ever you need help. This will also help around when where on our way to find Blizzard. When it glows, it means that something dangerous or something evil is coming. If you keep it close, you won't be harmed. It's like a…charm…"

"Wow…" I whispered. "It is pretty, but where can I keep it?"

"You can put it around your neck…" He said as he tied it up with some string.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me…"

"Yeah…they say that when someone cares about some one to much, and the other cares the same, that something wonderful will happen."

"If I find Blizzard…then something wonderful will happen! I can't wait…I really want to know what!"

"I've had this for many years, and I guess it's time to give up…there's no one for me…"

"Don't say that…I'm sure there's someone out there for you…"

"Thanks Claudia…"

"Anytime…just one thing though…"

"What?"

"You're drooling…"

"HUH!? Oh, whoops!" He chuckled as he wiped away the saliva.

"I guess you're not to good talking to girls…"

"No…" We both laughed as everyone started to wake up.

"Claudia, Firewalker?" Zephyr said still sleepy.

"Sorry…we didn't mean to wake you up…" I said still laughing.

"That's alright…just keep it down…" She yawned as she went back to sleep. I giggled quietly as someone watched us from a distance. It wore a dark hooded coat as it sat on top of a cliff.

"Pff! Pathetic! Hmm…it seems they have Draganta with them…this…will be fun…"n It said as it chuckled slightly as it vanished.

Draganta woke up with a quick get up. As if he had a nightmare. But he didn't feel scared, or sweat. But he did feel something odd. When I had seen him looking at the cliff where had been the figure, he sighed and lay back onto the grass. His eyes open, starring into the sky. During that, the gem Firewalker gave me began to glow a sapphire blue. It then turned green, and then red. "Hey, Firewalker," I said, "What does this mean? It turned three colors, including blue."

"I don't know, but that can't be good…"

"What do you mean not good—"I said as I was cut off by a swooping noise from behind. I looked back to see the figure in black next to Draganta. The figure looked down at Draganta as he starred back with shock. From the sunlight, he could almost see its face, but was erupted when the figure grabbed his back and threw him up. The figure jumped and slammed its tail at Draganta that sent him flying into a huge boulder.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Draganta cursed. "Who the hell are you!?"

"My names not important…I'm only here to kill all of you!" It said in a muffled voice.

"Kill us? You mean kill you!?"

"No…I mean kill you…" It said as it had vanished with a flash.

"Where he go!?"

"Don't panic…you'll be dead in a few seconds." It said as it appeared behind Draganta.

"WHAT THE—"He said as it hit him with intense power with his skull bash hitting Draganta on the chest. "If you think that can hurt me, then you're wrong!"

"So you are that strong as everyone said. Though, you're not strong enough to survive me!"

"Bring it…" Draganta said as it vanished again. This time Draganta was ready, but not ready for what happened next! This time, it appeared behind me! It picked me up and said, "I don't feel like killing you today…but I will take one of your allies!" It chuckled as it vanished. "CLAUDIA!" Was all I heard before I had disappeared with the figure!

"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled as we had appeared in a small cave. The figure had pushed me inside, as he snapped its fingers, appearing bars in front of the cave.

"You'll be staying here until my master thinks of something to do with you…" It said as it vanished…

"Great! Now I lost my friends…and Blizzard…" I said as I walked up to the cave entrance. I felt like crying…but I had to stay strong…who ever that was, must of not wanted me to interfere…

OOOHHHHHHHHHH Who is the hooded figure!? Guess as many times as you want. Most of you will get it...maybe...
