Only four reviews this time! Oh well. That's just a longer wait for you guys! I added a little something to the reviews and updates thing at the end of the chapter, so check it out. It applies to all chapters of this story! We get to meet Roberto again! Hopefully, it'll be pretty interesting to hear what he truly thinks of Alexis. I was getting a lot of things done tonight, so I decided to finish up this chapter so I'd be ready to update!

Disclaimer: I don't own Storm Hawks, Nerd Corps does. Vanessa really owns most of the plot and Kezzywezzy25 owns some of it. I own my OCs.

Previously on Finding Perfection…

The anti-Aerrow takes a long time to find Aerrow because Nicosia, the guardian of the Land of the Deceased, captures him to keep Alexis from going back to her life because her sister, Curia, was killed when she got back to life. Shylee believes Alexis can get back and distracts Nicosia while Alexis summons the anti-Aerrow. It makes it back to Aerrow and he decides that Alexis deserves justice and the Storm Hawks begin to search for Alejandro.

Week 3

I stared around the Land of the Deceased. It was raining and generally just a dreary, depressing day. I had to go out and look for the next demon though. I couldn't let some rain ruin my chances at life. For all I knew, this could be the doing of Nicosia, trying to discourage me or keep me from finding my demons.

I stepped out of the house. The rain wasn't as heavy as it had been. It was just sprinkling right now. It almost seemed like it was about to stop. I walked through the mud and puddles into the woods. It was very muddy, but I couldn't let that stop me. No matter how much I hated the mud.

I carefully watched the ground that I walked on. I would not step on a root and trip. Of course, I had to curse myself. My foot happened to find the one root and I fell into the mud. "Not cool!" I yelled to no one in particular. Actually, as I looked at the root, it seemed more like it had wrapped itself around my foot.

Nicosia smiled as the girl fell into the mud. If the rain didn't discourage her, this surely would. She would want to get cleaned up and it would take her at least another day before she would try to find the waiting demon once again. Then, she could just discourage her again.

Nicosia frowned at the thought of the other girl. What was her name…? Shelly? Smiley? Shylee! She would have to do something about her. "But wait… She goes to Limbo in about a week. Then, I won't have a problem."

I stood and tried my best to wipe off the mud. I looked down at the root and kicked it off before continuing. My hair was ratted and now clung to my face. I sighed in frustration and looked back to the village, pausing. If I turned back, surely someone would allow me to come in and get warm and clean. Maybe I could even find Shylee.

No. Shylee was hiding from Nicosia. She wouldn't be in the village. If anything, she was out here in the same condition as I was. Surely I could find her and get her to help me again. Maybe I should focus on that for now…

No! I only had three weeks left and many demons still to face! I had to find the next demon now.

Nicosia growled in anger as the girl pressed on through the rain. "She looks like she's been in a tornado! She's cold, she's wet! Why isn't she losing hope?" She shrieked. She turned back to the storm. "This is a job for an actual person. Perhaps I should pay a visit to the Atmos. For now, though, I shall just pay the girl a visit."

I continued through the forest, getting soaked all the way. The storm had increased in strength. At least the trees were blocking the wind from me. I crouched down beside a tree to shelter myself from the rain. It helped a little bit. "I should have waited until the storm died down." I told myself.

"Alexis? Is that you?" That was one voice that I definitely didn't want to hear. Nicosia. "What are you doing out here in this storm?"

"Nothing. I just don't have anywhere to go." I told her, standing and backing against the tree.

"Why don't you come with me? I'll take you to my home and clean you up. I'll light a fire and you can warm up and eat." She offered.

"No. I'll be fine." I told her.

"Oh, so you're one of those ones who don't like help…"

"No! That's not it. I appreciate the offer, but I'm sure the storm will be over soon." I said, turning to make my escape.

Nicosia glared slightly and then it suddenly began to storm harder. "Oh! Look at that! It's starting to storm harder! You'd better come back with me. Come along, my dear. You'll catch cold." She said.

"No, I won't. Don't worry." I said, backing away.

In a blur, Nicosia was in front of me, grasping my wrist. "Just come along, and nothing bad will happen to you. Why don't you want to come?" She asked. I silently stared at her. "Don't listen to that Shylee. She doesn't know what she's talking about. She's ruined many lives by spreading around her way of thinking. Just come and rest out the storm."

I gave in. "Fine. If you insist…"

"I do."

"Okay then."

I had been resting in Nicosia's surprisingly cozy home for about an hour now. The storm wasn't dying down at all. I was beginning to get a strange feeling about it. I turned to look at Nicosia, who had been doing nothing but sitting and drinking her hot cocoa by the fire with me. She noticed me looking and said, "Finish your hot cocoa, my dear."

"Sorry." I murmured.

"It's quite alright. I can clearly see you don't trust me. Now, why is that?"

I shrugged and said, "I guess I just don't know you very well yet. You're still kind of a stranger to me."

"A stranger? After all I've done for you?" She asked curtly.

"I appreciate this all greatly. Truly. I apologize." I said quickly.

I finished the last sip of my hot cocoa and she asked, "Would you like some more?"

"Um, yes, please. Could I have a little bit of extra chocolate in it?"

"Of course." Nicosia left the room.

I stood and sat closer to the fire. The extra chocolate should take her a little longer. "Daemonium fero." I whispered.

When I looked up, an anti-Roberto was sitting in front of me. "Thank goodness." I said.

"Send your message." It simply said.

"What, no questions or ghostly complaining?" I asked.

"No. Only those who have a strong connection to you are able to send messages to the Land of the Deceased."

"Well, first of all, let's get out of here. Come on." The demon followed me out the door and we ran into the woods.

"Okay. Roberto… Well, I never really knew you very well. Definitely not the real you, and not really the… spy you either. I appreciate you trying to save me. I really do. You were working with Ace to protect me. I'm very thankful for that. I don't think I would have been able to do what you did. You know, deceiving Alejandro, Fernando, and Vendetta. I have a favor to ask, actually. Watch over everyone and make sure they don't go and do something stupid. Ace already almost got killed. I'm eternally in your debt." I said.

"The message will get through." I was left alone in the rain. I hurried to the Pond of the Living, hoping Nicosia wouldn't trap me there.

"She went anyway. Oh well. I'll just pay my visit to Alejandro. She'll never be expecting what's going to come and, when it does, she'll never want to leave." Nicosia smiled wickedly before transporting to the Atmos, straight to Alejandro, and setting her plan in motion.

Done! Pretty short, but I tried to make it a little more exciting than the other demon chapters. What is Nicosia planning? I know, but you have to review to figure out.
