"I cannot STAND you anymore! You and your STUPIDNESS! Ughhh!" I screamed at Connor. He was just so full of himself, so far the entire three days we've been out here he and lance have been arguing who is stronger and have decided that thumb wars are the best way to solve their problems…only thing is, neither of them have thumbs. They have paws.

Furret just laughed. Her name was Lizeth and linoon was her brother, Carl. The Persian's name was Samuel who was really funny; he had a sense of humor just like Lizeth. The noctowl however just asked that we call him Noctowl so that became his name. Or it was to everyone but Samuel, he called him 'Knock Knock' or 'who's there?' and he always got attacked for it.

Lizeth and Samuel both laughed at my comment while Lance, Connor, and Carl all sighed. Noctowl however did nothing. That was usual for him, whenever someone tried to engage him in conversation he never seemed to want to talk and just flew away.

"Then don't be such an eavesdropper." Connor commented with a dreadful smirk. This made Lance and Carl laugh, hard. Lizeth and Samuel just laughed and looked to me wondering what I was going to say next.

"Oh yesss, because it's completely my fault when you fall on me because you tripped on a rock that you couldn't see because you were playing thumb wars, with paws may I add, with your lunatic best friend? That's what you were implying, correct?" I asked with the most arrogant tone I could. At this Lizeth and Samuel fell on the floor laughing, I noticed even Noctowl laughed. Or maybe it was just my imagination. Carl, Lance, and Connor however just glared at everybody on the floor and finally looked up at my triumphant face. Supposedly I'm the only one who can ever best Connor in a verbal battle, and it wasn't that I did. So this was a moment that we just couldn't let slip away like Connor wanted, only because 'I' had won.

After Connor had gotten properly chastised by Lizeth and Samuel for letting me beat him we began to walk again. Memories of last night's dream began to fill my head, mew had decided to visit me again, and only gave me a riddle, but no answers.

"He who lies and sits upon a throne came in the night; He who flies high in the sky will die; He who murders will be of same blood." With that she just dissipated.

Oh how I desperately wanted answers! Answers were the one thing I wanted most, other than Nancy. I had missed her so much, but I had decided to try and forget her. I would never be allowed to see her again all thanks to this miserable gang.

Even though I had come to actually like Lizeth, Samuel, and believe it or not Noctowl. The other three I could do without.

I was knocked out of my own thoughts and crashed down back to reality when I hit Noctowls back. I looked up to get a glimpse of his very stern, tense face. He was in attack mode, but why. Suddenly I heard what he heard, footsteps. I looked in front to see if the others had heard it, which was obviously a no considering they were still chatting it up. "Hey, be quiet." I said as softly as I could but loud enough to be heard.

Once they turned and looked at me and Noctowl they immediately got into their very own defensive stances, which Noctowl and I already had. Suddenly memories of my dream reappeared in my head line by line.

"He who lies and sits upon a throne came in the night…"

Then a huge Banette launched itself at me and Noctowl using night shade. He countered with a steel wing and I became aware of his screams telling me to run with Samuel and Carl. I turned to see a dusclops and a spiritome attacking Lizeth and Connor while Samuel and Carl made a break for it. Lance was coming over to help Connor out. I suddenly became aware of Carl tugging on me tail yelling "Come on we need to get you outa here! Let's go!" I quickly whirled around and began running away with them until the second sentence came to my mind.

"He who flies high in the sky will die…."

I skidded to a stop. Carl and Samuel stopped to and looked at me like I was crazy. Lies, throne, flies, dies. I looked back at Noctowl; he flies high in the sky.

"He who murders will be of same blood…" But Noctowls not of same blood, but if he's the flyer then he will be the one killed. So his attacker will be the one to murder. Banette. Banette! She is of same blood; she comes from the ghost kingdom.

I turned around as quickly as possible. Noctowl was in the air, of course, and Banette was on the ground, he was in no immediate danger. Then I saw the horror of a shadow ball knock him out of the sky. I had to act fast. Running back towards him I saw how he would die, it was using shadow claw in a helpless bird. How could I stop this? Time seemed to pause as I ran and thought; my attacks? Shadow ball, sand attack, bite and quick attack. That one. That one could help, and help it did, using it I ran to Noctowl and hit him out of the way. This unfortunately left me in the way. I curled up and tried to become as small as possible hoping it would minimalize the hit. It came down hard and I waited for the pain, which never came. I looked up to see, at everyone's astonishment, my body was small enough to fit through the claws. I was in perfect position for a sand attack, or really any attack. I used my tail to whip up all the sand and dirt I could. Banette clutched his eyes and squealed in pain. I felt sorry for it but had to continue.

I jumped up and bit its lower left arm and felt my body being vigorously thrown in the air. I held on for dear life. Then I felt my attacker's body go limp and fall? But why, surely it hadn't fainted yet. I realized I had my eyes closed out of fear. When I opened them I saw Samuel above me leaping off of Banette.

"What? What happened?" My voice wasn't but a squeak, and my heart pounded. I looked around and noticed the other ghosts were fleeing.

"Samuel, he used flame wheel. Banette didn't see it coming. And he fainted." Lizeth was the first to speak. Everyone else was still staring at me like I had just died and came back.

"What? Staring is extremely rude you know?" My voice seemed to come back and that came out a little harsher than planned. Connors face went harsh at that. He obviously didn't like that comment.

He went to Noctowls side and crouched then turned to me "Excuse me if I stare at the person who just saved my friends life. Noctowl, are you ok?" He looked back at noctowl and talked to him kinder than me.

"Yes but, I don't think I can fly. You think we could make camp for the night? Let my wing heal a little?" Noctowl had pain in his eyes, I could tell his wing hurt bad. Then I looked at the Banette, she had stood again. I jumped around to face her and growled. I was about ready to leap with a shadow ball when she too, dissipated, a technique commonly used by ghosts. I went back to relaxing and felt Lizeth's eyes on me. When I turned to her she did not divert her gaze. She wanted me to notice.

I began to walk to her and she stood. "Follow me." She asked. When we were away from the group she tightly hugged me. "Im sorry I must have made you feel as if you were in trouble. Thank you for saving him. But if you don't mind me asking, how did you know he was about to be hurt? It all happened to fast for anyone else to react." Her eyes looked to be filled with questions, like mine. At least now I know what it's like to be a liar. Because I was about to lie.

"I don't know, well I knew that Banette from before and I knew how strong he was so I was worried and when I saw the shadow ball I just ran and hoped for the best." I shrugged and hoped she would buy it, I just couldn't tell anyone about mew, not yet. Seeming to buy it she hugged me again and wished me a good night's sleep before heading back.

"Aren't you coming with me, back to the camp?" she asked hopefully.

"Umm, no I'll be there in a little. Bye and don't let the bed bugs bite!" We both giggled and I watch her as she left. Mew was helping me, but why? I didn't even know who mew was. This angered me beside the fact that I had ATTACKED an OFFICIAL of MY kingdom. If I wasn't outlawed before I am now for sure. I sighed and decided I needed sleep. When I got back to camp everyone was already asleep except for Noctowl, I decided now was a good time to find out who he really was.

I lay down next to him and he seemed to get the message. I wasn't planning on sleeping just yet. Not when he was this secretive. And now there was no sky he could retreat to, he was grounded.
