Chapter 2

"That's not possible." Ace said in disbelief.

"I told you that you wouldn't believe me."

"Can you show us?" Mark asked.

Emily nodded and closed her eyes.

Right away 3 pieces of the Amulet came out from her body in a glowing purple bubble.

"Amazing." Sparks breathed.

The pieces disappeared as she opened her eyes. "My body is also a piece of the Amulet. The pieces inside me give me power. Although there at a weak state right now because I have never trained to control them." Her face turned serious. "If Lord Fear gets his hands on me then it will mean the end if he gets a hold of the other pieces. That is why I came to you Mark at school. I didn't know what else to do."

"We will protect you from Fear." Ace said.

"Thank you."

"Where did you come from?" Mark asked.

"I don't actually remember. The first thing I remember is waking outside the carnival."

Ace turned to Mark. "I think that she should stay at your place for now."

Mark nodded in agreement but before he could do anything Ace was hit from behind by green light.

"Ace." Sparks cried.

Mark turned as he heard someone laughing from behind.

"Lord Fear." He breathed.

Lord Fear along with Lady Illusion were standing by the entrance.

Emily looked scared as she moved behind Mark. "He…. He came for me."

"Is this a private party or can anyone join?" Lord Fear said as he laughed.

"What are you doing here Fear?" Ace asked.

"I heard that you found a rather interesting piece of the Amulet." He looked to Emily's frightened form. "Give us the girl."

"Mark, Emily get behind us." Sparks said as she got out her sword.

Emily and Mark ran behind Ace and Sparks.

"Don't worry Emily." Mark said. "Ace and Sparks will take care of them."

"Are you sure?"

Mark nodded. "Ace and Sparks never give up."

Emily turned back to watch them fight. 'I feel like I need to help them.' She looked down at her clenched fists and felt a current of power running through them. 'That's it.' She thought as she raised her fists at Lord Fear.

Blue lightning suddenly exploded from her fists and flew to Lord Fear hitting him.

"My Lord I think now would be a good time to retreat." Lady Illusion said.

Lord Fear nodded in agreement and turned to Ace. "We will be back." He said as he and Lady Illusion ran away.

Emily fell to her knees as she was suddenly drained of energy.

"Are you alright?" Mark asked.

Emily nodded. "My power just drained me that's all. It was the first time that I used them."

"That was amazing kid." Ace said as he and Sparx walked over to them. "I think that we can make you a Lightning Knight."

Emily laughed shakily. "I think that's why the Amulet pieces gave me this power."

Mark looked to Ace. "I think that she'll be safer here. Lord Fear knows where I live."

"It will only be for a day then she can stay here."

"I got school tomorrow though. I can't protect her if I'm at school."

"Mark give me your phone." Emily said. "If I'm in trouble then I'll give Ace a call and he will be there in a flash. I'll be fine."

Mark wasn't so sure but agreed anyway.

"There's no reason to worry Mark."

"Right. Now I just need to deal with my parents."

"Oh don't worry about them." Emily smiled. "Right this second they are going on a 2 day holiday. They are going to leave you a message."

"What did you do?"

Emily laughed. "Just a little tampering that's all. Its harmless. They should call you in a second."

He looked down at the phone as it started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Mark it's your Mother. Just letting you know that your Father and I are just going on a 2 day holiday. We know that your big enough to take care of yourself but you can invite a friend to keep you company. Bye love."

Emily smirked at him as the phone went dead. "All set?"

Mark nodded. "How did you do that?"

Emily shrugged. "Just another one of my powers. I would have made them stay away for a week but like I said before my powers aren't strong enough yet."

"You both should get going." Ace said.

Mark nodded. "Yes let's go."
