(A/N Sorry this is kinda a short chapter.

I finally get to put in a disclaimer! Yes that's right…some of Marianne Curley's work is coming in this episode. Wooooo!

Disclaimer: I do not own Arkarian, his chambers, or any of the stuff in MC's work.

Claimer: I do, however, own the rest!

Anyway – hope you enjoy, and don't forget to review!)

Last lines from the last chapter:

Then black. Darkness.

Total, complete darkness.



-----------------------------------------------

I wake up, but I can't move.

Where am I? Hospital?

I'm lying on something soft and I hear voices around me. It takes me a minute to tune my ears in to listen to what they're saying, and I find myself listening to the middle of a conversation.

"…are you sure? You could be mistaken." A young man's voice. He sounds quite young, 18, 19 perhaps. Maybe Nick has an older brother.

"I'm sure. What I saw…wasn't anything ordinary. But one thing I know – it was definitely her that did it." Nick! Nick's here! What are they talking about? What did Nick see? I rack my brain but I can't remember, however much I try.

"Nick…" I try to say, but I can't speak. My chest rises and falls and I feel pain stabbing at me because of the effort.
The unknown speaker leaves, but Nick stays. He holds my hand and watches me. I so badly want to sit up and wrap my arms around his neck, but I'm paralysed.

I wait another couple of hours. People come in, people go out, but Nick never leaves my side. I can feel his presence. Finally, my body starts to wake up.

First it's my arm. I twitch and flex my fingers, stiff, and Nick, who sees this, shouts:

"Arkarian! She's waking up!"

Arkarian? That's a weird name. Someone yells back at Nick, and I recognise the voice as the one who was talking to Nick earlier.

This 'Arkarian' runs into the room and stands by Nick as, slowly, I wake up. Finally my eyes flutter open, and I see Nick leaning over me.

I am instantly full of energy at the sight of him.

"Nick!" I yell happily. I through my arms around his neck and he blushes. "Thanks for not leaving." I whisper in his ear, and hug him tighter. I get up off the bed and turn to the other person in the room. He seems to be the one with the answers.

I do a double take, and look over this teenager. He has shoulder length, turquoise hair and as I move closer to him I realise his eyes are a deep shade of violet. Dye and contact lenses. Right? Nick clears his throat, and I realise I'm staring. I prop myself back on the bed.

"Are you feeling alright, Ditzy?" the blue haired guy – Arkarian - says. His voice is full of concern, which is touching, since he doesn't even know me.

"Yeah," I say, holding my head as pain shoots through my head. I straighten up. "I must admit, I'm a little confused though."

Arkarian sighs.

"As are we all, Ditzy. As are we all."

A girl walks in. She's about the same age as Arkarian, and she has the same hair, and the exact same eyes. They must be twins. I wish I was a twin. Life would be so much easier. At this, a flush creeps up Arkarian's cheeks, as he wraps his arm around her face and kisses her on the cheek.

He gives me a stern, but friendly, look, and I bite my lip. Oops, I mouth at him. They're not twins then! Nick looks like he's trying so hard not to burst out laughing.

The girl looks round, confused. She seems to have no idea what's going on.

But then I realise.

I thought that they were twins. I didn't say it. I thought it.

I open and close my mouth, confused.

Nick is trying not to laugh so hard he looks like he's going to explode. Even Arkarian is going red in the face. The girl looks at both of them and mouths at me 'boys'. I roll my eyes and smile.

"Hey I'm Isabel," she said. I smiled at her.

"Hey I'm-" she stops me.

"I know who you are. Ditzy, right? Nick has been talking non-stop about you." I smile, a little confused.

"Yeah," I say. What has Nick been saying about me? I narrow my eyes at him. He blushes, and hides behind his hair. "Right."

"Ditzy," Arkarian said, now that he has stopped laughing. "I'm sure you must have many questions, so how about we go through to the next room along where there are sofas and we can discuss everything?" I nod. That sounds good. Answers at last.

Nicks POV
Three hours earlier.

I look over at where Ditzy is sleeping soundly. I hope she's going to be alright. I'm so worried about her.

"Don't worry Nick," Arkarian said, reassuring me. "She's going to be fine."

"Stop that," I mumble, mentally putting my mind blocks back up. I had to screen my thoughts from Arkarian. Five years now, and I hadn't once let Arkarian read my thoughts. Blocking your mind from Truthseers was first nature.

I would've done it, if I wasn't so worried about Ditzy. I look over at her sleeping body, and smile. She looks so peaceful.

"Aaah," Arkarian says, his voice teasing. "I know that look." I immediately tear my eyes away from the sleeping angel and straighten my face.

"Shut up," I said, rolling my eyes. "For so many years old, you are so childish. Anyway, what's going to happen to her? I mean, is she ready to be trained and Initiated?"

Arkarian looks over her and frowns.

"She's the one we've been waiting for. She is the one who will end the hell brought to us. Eventually, she won't just save us, but the whole world. Ditzy Stweart has great power, unknown to even the Guard. But before she can perform such great tasks and master her power she will need training. Physical skills and development of her powers are crucial to the survival of us and our planet. And for that she will need a Trainer."

I looked up, staring into his deep violet eyes. He knows what I am thinking, and he doesn't need to be a Truthseer to see that.

"Yes, you will be her Trainer, Nick. Because Ditzy is only just about to learn the truth, we will have to wait a while before Initiating her. In the meantime, I suggest you start practicing in my chambers."

I grin and nod.

Only one thing was running through my head.

I was Ditzy's Trainer!

Wahoo!
