Wednesday October 26th 1977, 10:53 P.M. "You should be fine now Miss, just get some rest." The doctor said standing up. "Thank you doctor for coming out and checking on Mina." A woman said looking at him. "I'm just doing my job, call me if anything happens." The doctor said as he walked to the front door and left. The woman looks at the blonde girl lying in bed. "Mina…what happened to you the other day?" The woman said leaning down next to her.

"…" Mina said nothing as she was too lost in thought. "Grandma?" Mina said not looking at her. "What is it dear?" she said looking at her.

"What do you do when the person you love is in danger?" Mina looked at her as she thought for a minute. "Well dear, you do everything you can to save them." She said. "But…what if the people around you don't agree with you about the person?" Mina said looking away

"…This is about Samuel, isn't it?" She said looking at Mina. Mina said nothing as she looked at the wall. "Mina, I know you love Samuel." She said smiling at her. Mina blushed as she pulled the covers up to her face. Mina's grandma laughed as she looked at her.

"Mina, I have seen Samuel, and I think he is a wonderful person, and I know you love him very much."

"But…my mom does not like him." Mina said looking at her. "I know, your mother was like this all her life. When she was little, she had a crush on an older man who ended up using her, and that broke her heart." Mina thought for a min.

"I think that's why she does not like Samuel, because it reminds her of what happened to her." She said standing up. "I have to go see him grandma…I feel like hes in trouble." Mina said looking at her. Mina's grandma looked at her for a few seconds. "Mina…there is something you need to know first." She said looking at her. "What is it?" Mina said looking back. She left the room and came back with the necklace Mina got for her birthday.

"Mina…do you know why I gave you this?" she said handing it to her. "As a gift for my birthday?" Mina said taking it and sitting up. "Well yes, but there's another reason…I want you to hold it to your heart and think about Samuel." Mina was taken back by what she said. "Ok." Mina said as she cupped it in her hands and started to think about Samuel.

She remembered the times when we played together as kids, doing homework together, playing games. Mina smiled as she thought of me. Just then, the necklace started to glow a bright yellow.

"W-what?" Mina said as she looked at it. As soon as she stopped thinking about me. The necklace went dark. "So it's true then…" Mina's grandma said looking at her. "What is it grandma?" Mina said looking at her. "…Mina, there's something I need to tell you about our family." She said getting up and walking to her room. she came back with a book and gave it to Mina.

Mina opened the book and started to look at old pictures and log entries as Mina's grandma starts to tell Mina of an old story about a king and queen who wanted to rule the world… *30 minutes later* Mina closed the book as she looked at the bed. "Mina…this the first time sense that day that the necklace has glowed." She stood up and looked at Mina. "I believe the time when she returns is close." Mina said nothing as she looked at the book. "Grandma…please leave me alone." Mina said not looking at her. "Mina-"

"Please just go!" Mina yelled as she still didn't look at her. Mina's grandma didn't say anything as she left the room. Mina tossed the book on the floor and turned on her side as she tried to fall asleep, but it was no use, what her grandma said to her was now rushing all through her head, Mina tossed and turned for a while. when she looked at the clock, she saw it was 2 A.M.

"…" Mina said nothing as she got out of bed and put her shoes on and grabbed her necklace and went outside. She walked for a few minutes as she reached the pond near her house. She stood at the edge of the water and looked over it, the late fog hovering over the water gave her a sense of calmness. Mina was lost in thought about what her grandma said to her. She didn't know whether to believe her or laugh at her. Mina cupped the necklace in her hand and started to sing.

"Laaaa la la la laaa, la laaa la la laaa la laaaa la laaa…laaa…" As Mina began to sing, her voice echoed across the pond, and the necklace started to shine again, it shined brighter this time as a yellow symbol formed on her head. Mina looked down at it as a bright yellow light engulfed her. All Mina saw was yellow as she felt like she was floating on air, the light disappeared as Mina Fell onto her knees gasping for air. Mina looked at her hands as she was shocked to see she was wearing white elbow long gloves.

"W-what?" Mina said as she looked all over her body to see she was wearing an orange and yellow sailor suit. "But how? I had his put away back in my house." Mina said thinking to herself. "Because the necklace works depending on what the heart wants." A voice said from behind her. Mina turned around to see her grandma standing here. "Grandma?" Mina said looking at her.

"Mina…do you believe it now?" She said walking over to her. Mina looked at her and looked at the ground. "I know it's a lot to take in. but you don't have much time to adjust to it." She said stopping a few feet away from her. "Samuel is in danger Mina." Mina looked at her. "…I know, I can feel it." Mina said looking at her.

"Mina…I know you love Samuel. And it's ok if he's a little older then you, because as long as you love each other, no obstacle will be too great to overcome together." She said smiling at Mina. Mina gripped her hands as she looked at her. "I need to get back to Chicago." She said looking at her. Mina's grandma looked at her for a minute.

"Mina…are you ready to face the challenges that lie ahead?" She said looking at her. "Your body and mind will be push to the breaking point."

"I understand…but I made a promise to Sammy, that no matter what, I will be there for him, in this world or the next." Mina said looking at her. Mina's grandma smiled as she tossed her, her car keys. "Here, take my car and go to our house in town and stay there." She said. Mina looked at the car keys for a second and looked back at her. "But what about my mom?"

"Don't worry about your mom, I will handle her." She said looking at Mina. "Thank you grandma..." Mina said as ran past her. "Be careful Mina! And remember! The stronger your love is, the stronger your power will be!" Mina's grandma said as she smiled as Mina ran towards the house, she ran in her room and packed her stuff up and ran out the front door, she tossed her suitcase in the back and got in, Mina began to drive down the street hoping she would make it back in time…

Thursday October 27th 1977, 10:32 A.M. Amara walked in to Amy's house and went up stars into Amy's room. "How is he doing?" Amara said looking down at me. "He has a fever." Michelle said putting a new wet rag on my forehead. Michelle looks at me as I'm slowly gasping for air. "I think his wound is infected…" Michelle said looking down at me. "We can't take him to the hospital." Amara said looking at the window. Trista said beryl already has men looking in every hospital on Chicago for Samuel." Amara said looking back.

"The only think we can do is hope Amy can get some medical supplies from her Mothers hospital when she gets home." Amara said walking back to the door. "Any news on them?" Michelle said looking at her. "Three more people went missing…" Amara said not looking back. "What are they planning?" Michelle said looking at me. "I will go talk with Trista, I will be back at 4." Amara said walking down the stairs. I start to cough as Michelle took my hand. "Samuel..." Michelle said hoping I was going to be ok.

Michelle stood up and went downstairs to make her something to eat. While I was awake, I could not move or talk, for it hurt too much.

Trying my hardest to breath slowly. I heard someone open the window as I thought it was Michelle, I heard someone walk over to me and stood there. Slowly opening my eyes a little, I saw a girl. it looked like Mina, but she was wearing a sailor uniform. I took it as a dream as I tried my hardest to say her name. "M-mina?" I said weakly.

"Sammy…" Mina said as she sat on the bed and grabbed my hand in hers. "Oh Sammy, what did they do to you?" Mina said as she took my hand and placed it on her cheek. Mina started to cry as tears fell onto my hand. "I'm sorry Sammy…I should have never left you." Mina said looking at me.

"M-mina…" I said trying to open my eyes more. "Don't worry Sammy, I'm here now…" Mina said as she slowly started to move her head to me. "No matter what happens from now on, I will never leave again…I promise." Mina said as she was only a foot away from my face. Mina put her mouth next to my ear and whispered. "Sammy…I love you." Mina said as more tears fell onto my cheek. Mina pulled away and slowly kissed me. "Is this a dream?" I said to myself as Mina stood up and walked back over to the window.

Just then, the door open and Michelle walked in with a plate of food. "Hey Samuel, It's time to eat." Michelle looked over at the window and saw it was open. "Huh?" Michelle said as she wandered how the window got open. Michelle walked over to it and looked out the window and saw no one. Michelle closed the window as she came back to me and sat back down and started to slowly feed me.

Thursday October 27th 1977, 4:48 P.M. Hey, I'm home!" Amy said as she walked in and closed the door. She walked up the stairs and into her room to see Amara and Michelle where talking to each other. "Hey Amy." Michelle said looking at her smiling. "How is Samuel?" Amy said looking at me. "He has a fever." Amara said looking at Amy. "Did you get the meds?" Amara said looking At Amy. "This was all I could get." Amy said handing a bag to Amara. Thanks." Amara said as she took out the meds and started to clean my wound.

*knock knock* everyone looked at the door and got worried. Amara looked at Michelle and Michelle gave a nod. "Amy stay here." Amara said as she stood up. "Ok." Amy said a little nervous. Amara walked down the stairs to the front door and looked through the peep hole to see Trisha. Amara lets out a sigh as she opens the door.

"Hey Trista, What's up?" Amara said letting her in. "Is Amy here?" Trista said looking around. "Ya, she's upstairs."

"Ok, we all need to talk." Trista said walking upstairs. Trista walks in with Amara as Michelle and Amy see her. "Hello Trista." Michelle said. "Hi Trista." Amy said. Trista looked at me on the bed for a few seconds. "Hey guys." Trista said as Amara closed the door. "So what's up?" Amara said leaning on the wall.

Trista looked at everyone and took a deep breath. "We have to move Samuel to my house." Everyone was a little shocked by this. "Why? Is something wrong?" Amy said. "We have word the beryl might know where Samuel is." Trista said looking at everyone. "It would be better for everyone if Samuel was moved to my house. It's closer to the police station, so we would have a lesser chance they might come for him."

Everyone thought for a minute. "That does sound better." Amara said with her hand under her chin. "Amy?" Trista said looking at her. "Do you have someone else you could go live with?"

"My dad has a summer home a few miles away."

"Ok, it would be best if you stay there for a while. We can't risk another person being taken." Everyone agreed.

"Ok. I'll go call it in, I will have a van here in 6 minutes." Trista said opening the door and walking downstairs. Everyone was quite.

"Do you really think this is a good idea?" Amy said. "…Trista wouldn't let Samuel stay with her if she didn't profit from it on some way." Amara said looking at Michelle. "I don't think Trista would go that low as to take avenge of Samuel in his current state." Michelle said. "I have my doubts." Amara said looking at Michelle. Amara started to clean my wound again as Amy started to pack some of her things up. *8 minutes later*

Trista walked in as Amy was walking down the stairs. "Ok I'm back!" Trista yelled up the stairs. Amara opened the door and looked down. "OK, where all ready, come help us carry Samuel." Amara said. Trista walked up the stairs and walk into Amy's room. Amara walked over to the front of me and Michelle walked to the end of me. "Ok, Trista, hold onto Samuel's middle, try not to let his body bend." Amara said.

Trista walked over to me and put her arms under me. "Ok, lift!" Amara said as all three of them picked me up. Amara started to walk backwards down the stairs as Trista and Michelle followed behind. They walked out the front door and walked over to the van. Amara lifted me up as Michelle and Trista followed her and slowly lad me down on the stretcher and strapped me in. Amy hopped in as she closed the door. Amara got in the driver seat and started the car. Amy got in the passenger seat as Trista and Michelle Held onto me.

"Ok, we will drop Amy off and then go to Trista's." Amara said looking back at everyone. Everyone nodded as Amara started the car and drove off down the street. Everyone was quiet for a little while, no one was really sure what to talk about.

"So I take it everyone here knows Samuel on a personal level?" Amy said. "You could say that." Michelle said looking ahead. "I met Samuel back in High school."

"I have only know Samuel for a few days." Amara said. "Same." Trista said looking at Amy. "I see." Amy said looking at me. "How did you meet him Amy?" Michelle said. "I met him at the observatory with his friend Mina." Amy said. "You mean Samuel's childhood friend?" Amara said. "Yep" Amy said. "She's really sweet. I have only met her a handful of times, but she is really nice." Michelle said smiling. "Maybe we can met her again sometime." Amara said. "That would be nice." Trista said looking at me. Amara pulled up to Amy house as she hopped out.

"Thanks for the ride." Amy said closing the door. "Sure, and call us if something comes up with you." Amara said smiling. "I will." Amy said as she started to walk to her house as Amara started to drive to Trista's house. *4 minutes later*

Amara pulled up into Trista's garage as Trista closed the door down. They open the back car door and picked me up as they started to walk to Trista bedroom. "Samuel's staying in your room?" Amara said as they laid me down on a spare bed next to Trista's. "It will be safer this way." Trista said smiling at them.

Michelle put my belongings on her desk. "Remember to clean his wound twice a day." Amara said walking back to her car. "Don't worry, I will." Trista said as Michelle walked by her. she stopped in front of her and turned and faced her.

"Trista…I'm telling you this one and one time only…if you do anything to Samuel while he is like this." Trista stopped her. "Have a little faith in me Michelle, I would never drop down that low." Trista said putting her hands up. Michelle looked at her for a second and left with Amara. Trista locked the door behind Michelle as she looked down at the floor as she gave a big smile…

Thursday October 27th 1977, 11:13 P.M. Trista walked into her house as she threw her work bag on the chair. Trista stretched and closed the front door and locked it. She turned the T.V. on and went into the kitchen and put some food in the microwave. She looked up at the clock and went to her room. She opened the door and saw me lying next to her bed sleeping. Trista walked over and checks my forehead. "Looks like your fever went down." Trista said looking at me. Trista kept looking at me for a few seconds like she was thinking about something. *ding*

Trista gets up and goes to the kitchen and gets her food and walks over to the chair and sits down and watches the news. After a while, Trista gets up and goes to the bathroom and she turns on the shower. Trista slowly strips and gets in the shower. As she stands there, the water running down her body, She starts to think to herself.

Thoughts was running through her head. She slowly started to clean herself as she kept thinking to herself. She stopped on her side as she stands there almost frozen in place. Trista slowly puts her hand on a scar on her side as a quick flash went through her mind. Trista dropped her soap as she snapped out of her trance. Trista picks it back up and starts to wash herself again.

After a few minutes, Trista gets out and dries off and wraps the towel around her. She walks out with steam coming out with her. She looks around for a second and closes the door. She walks over to the closet and pulls out a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. She lays them on the bed as she grabs another towel and dries her hair a little. It was still wet when she stopped.

She gave a smile as she walks back out of the bathroom and over to my bed. "Well Samuel. Looks like there's no one to interrupt us this time." Trista said as she slowly climbed on top of the bed. She slowly crawled up the bed in her towel till she was on top of me. She sat on me as she looked at me blushing. "It's been a while Sense I did this for someone Samuel, you're so lucky." Trista giggles as she leans down as her boobs press against my chest. I lay there not responding.

Trista slowly leans down and closes her eyes and softly kisses me. Just then, Trista threw her eyes open as she started to have a vision.

She saw a woman standing around a fire. The girl looked like her, but she wore a black sailor outfit and was holding a scepter of some kind. The girl turned around to show her crying with blood on her face. Trista comes to gasping for air.

"Huff…huff…w-what the hell?" Trista looked down at me for a few seconds, she claimed down before she slowly slid off of me. She sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds, thinking to herself. She placed her hand on her forehead, she was speechless.

She had no idea what happened or what came over her. What did that vision mean? She turned and faced me. "Just who are you Samuel?…" Trista said. Trista then stood up and got dressed and climbed into her bed and turned off the light.

"Goodnight Samuel…I will always be there for you no matter what…I promise." Trista said softly as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep…feeling a little different.

Friday October 28th 1977 8:42 A.M. Trista woke up to the sound of birds chirping. A small light beam came through the blinds as it lights up the room. Trista got up and stretched. She looked over to see me still sleeping. Trista gets up and starts to get dressed to be ready for work. The events of what happened last night ran threw her head as she got dressed.

"It would be best if I keep this to myself till I figure out what happened." She said putting her shoes on. *knock knock* "I'm coming!" Trista said as she started to walk to her door putting on her last earring.

Trista looks through the peephole to see Michelle. *Trista opens the door* "Hey Michelle." Trista said letting her in. "Hey Trista." Michelle said walking in. "How's Samuel doing?"

"He's doing Fine, his fever went down." Trista said as she walked into the kitchen. "That's good to hear." Michelle said. "Would you like something to drink Michelle?" Trista said pouring a cup of coffee. "Sure." Michelle said walking over. "So what brings you here this morning?" Trista said handing her a cup. "A few things." Michelle said taking a sip of her coffee. "I was going to watch Samuel for a little bit today before I go into the office."

"OK that's fine. Any news on queen beryl?"

"No, not yet."

"I see." Trista said looking down at her cup. "If we only knew what they wanted…" Michelle said. "T-there after a set of talismans... that hold the p-power of warriors…" I say weakly as I slowly walk down the hall, leaning against the wall as I do.

Trista and Michelle both looked at me, almost dropping their cups. "S-Samuel?" Michelle Said.

"H-hey Michelle." I said as I lean on the wall. "Samuel…" Michelle said. She started to cry and she ran over and gave me a soft hug.

"H-hey now, it's ok." I say. Trista was holding back her tears as she walked over and gave me a hug too. "Samuel, what are you doing up? You should be in bed." Michelle said looking at me.

"D-don't worry, getting up and walking around will do me some g-good." I said. "Samuel, your wounds are still healing, if you push yourself, they will reopen." Trista said looking at me. "I know, d-don't worry." I said giving a weak smile. I knew I was still in bad shape, but I had to tell them about what happened.

"Samuel, what did you mean there after talismans?" Trista said. "…" I said nothing as I looked away. "Trista, you should probably call and say you're going to be late and that you're following up on a lead." I said walking over to the sink. Trista looked at Michelle and then went to the phone and called the station. After drinking a cup of water. I limped to the living room and slowly sat down. "You ok Samuel?" Michelle said with a worried look. "I'm fine." I said smiling at her. "Ok I called them, I'm good for an hour." Trista said sitting down with us.

"Good….do you remember when I showed up late the other day to the station?" *Trista and Michelle both nod* "It was because Lita took me somewhere."

"Where to?" Michelle said. "An old warehouse, at first I didn't know what was going on, but after a miss communication, I meet someone who told me who queen beryl really was and what she was after."

"Who were these people that you met?" Trista said. "They were a group of people who said they have been looking for me for a long time…" And so for the next 40 mins, I told Michelle and Trista what Seiya told me, about the king and queen, about the powers, about the Assassins, about Ezio and how she would have her revenge. Trista and Michelle didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"…Do you believe them Samuel?" Michelle said looking at me. "…At first no, but after the last few events, I think they might be on to something."

"Then I believe you too." Michelle said smiling. "This is the best lead we have had so far, so I'll look into people in their late 30's who might fit this beryl lady." Trista said standing up. "I'll tell Amara what you told me." Trista said grabbing her gun and badge as she opened the front door.

"Trista?" I said looking at her. "Ya?"

"Don't go after Lita ok?" I said looking at the ground. Trista looked at Michelle who nodded. "Ok Samuel…" Trista said closing the door. *click* I took a deep breath. "You always seem to have a way with the lady's." Michelle said. "I guess." I said closing my eyes. "If where to understand this better, I'm going to need to talk to Seiya again."

"As soon as your wounds heal, I can take you there if you like." Michelle said smiling. "Thanks Michelle." I said looking at her.

I slowly stood up. "What are you doing?" Michelle said. "I haven't had a shower for a few days, I need to take one." I said slowly limping away to the bathroom.

As I'm walking away, Michelle gave a smile as she looked at me. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I put a towel and a rag in the sink and started to undress, "Ughh" I said under my breath. If I was having this much pain from undressing, then I'm going to have a hard time washing. I got my shirt off and looked at my wound. It was the first time I saw it since that night. It was all purple and swollen and the stitches where sticking out a little.

After taking my pants off I slowly stepped into the shower and closed the door and turned on the water. I stood there thinking to myself about how much time has passed while I was asleep. I was brought back to reality when I heard the bathroom door open.

"Samuel…" A soft voice said from behind the door. "M-Michelle!?" I said as I looked at the door. The steam from the shower fogged up the glass so Michelle could not see me, nor could I see her.

"Samuel, you might hurt yourself if you try to wash yourself. so I'm going to help you." Michelle said calmly. "N-no it's ok M-Michelle." I said blushing. "Samuel…please let me help you." Michelle said with a said tone in her voice. "…" I thought to myself. I don't know why, maybe it was because I really needed help, maybe it was because I knew Michelle really cared about me. But whatever the reason was…

"O-ok…" I said in a shy voice. "W-what!?" Michelle said with a shocked voice. "W-what?" I said blushing. "I didn't think you would actually say that…" Michelle said. "You're just h-helping me is all…" I said. Michelle said nothing as I looked through the glass to see her slowly undressing.

I blush as blood starts to run down my nose. "Damit!" I said to myself "Come on Samuel. You act like you have never seen a naked girl before." I said to myself as i look through the glass as Michelle undid her bra and slid off her panties.

My heart rate was well over 120 at this point, "Samuel, calm down, if your heart rate goes up any more, your wounds will reopen." I said to myself. "Ok I'm coming in." Michelle said quietly "O-one second." I said as I grabbed as towel and wrapped it around my waist. "O-ok…" I said as I turned around to look at the wall. "Relax and take deep breaths." I said to myself as I heard the door open.

I knew if I saw Michelle's body, I would lose myself. Michelle was blushing even though I could not see it. Michelle puts her hand on my shoulder. "It's ok Samuel…it's only me." Michelle said softly. Her soft voice made my heart slow down a little.

Michelle grabbed the rag and soap and started to wash my back. Luckily the blood was running down the front of me into the drain so Michelle could not see it as long as I didn't turn around. "You k-know you didn't have to d-do this…" I said. "I know…but you have done so much for me these last few years." Michelle said smiling. "And not once have I ever done anything for you." Michelle said as she started to wash my arms.

"I want you to know that I care much about you Samuel…" Michele said as she stopped for a second. "I was so worried that I would never get to see you again…" Michelle said. "Michelle…" I said. Michelle stopped on my wound on my side and softly placed her hand on it. "You're the only man that has ever stayed by me, protecting me from the sins of others…I don't know what I would do if someone took you away." Michelle said laying her head on my shoulder. "Promise me you will never leave…" Michelle said as she leaned on my back and wrapped her arms around me. I felt her breast press against my back. "…I promise" I said as I lost myself. I turned around and kissed Michelle.

"Mphhh!?" Michelle was so shocked she dropped the rag and soap. Michelle soon lost herself too as she started to kiss me back. I slowly ran my hands up and down Michelle's sides as I deepen the kiss, sliding my tongue inside with hers.

"Mmm." Michelle Softly moans as she wraps her arms around my shoulders. Michelle's heart was pounding as I ran my hand through her soft green hair as Michelle softly puts her hands on my chest. I pull back and softly kiss her neck as I move my hands up to her chest as I softly started to grope Michelle's breasts. "M-mmm…" Michelle lets out a quiet moan as I run my hands all over her chest. "W=why does this feel so good?" Michelle said to herself.

I looked at Michelle, I saw her blushing as lust filled her eyes. "You s-sure know how to use your hands Samuel…" Michelle softly said as I kissed her. My member was fully awake as it pushed against Michelle's. "A-ahh." Michelle buried her face in my neck. "Why do I feel so hot? It's o-only touching me." Michelle said as she started to tremble a little.

I slowly pushed it against Michelle's as I continued to kiss Michelle's neck. "S-Samuel…" Michelle said in my ear. "P-please..." Michelle said as she started to push back. I moved my hands down to her hips as I push Michelle onto my member as it slide itself inside of Michelle. Michelle let out a loud quick gasp. I held Michelle against the wall for support as I started to move myself back and forth inside of Michelle. "A-ahh…" Michelle started to moan loudly as she held me close." S-Samuel, it feels so g-good…" Michelle said as her moans got louder as I started to move faster. For the next several minutes, Me and Michelle where locked in a bond so strong and passionate. "If Samuel keeps this up I'm going…" Michelle said as she looked up into my eyes. I leaned in to kiss Michelle as she lost herself as she started to come. A faint light shining from her forehead. I came just after as we both held each other, trying to catch our breaths.

Just then, Michelle saw a vision of a girl who looked like her. But she was wearing a blue-green sailor outfit. The girl was screaming as she looked at her hands, which were covered in blood. Michelle came to as she stood there gasping. Before she could ask herself what the hell just happened, I blacked out from blood loss and fell into Michelle's arms. Michelle caught me as she looked down at me.

"Well, it seems you have a few things to work on Mr. Ownby." Michelle said smiling. Michelle turned off the water and got out with me and started to dry me off. As she dried me, she started to think to herself what that vision was. After Michelle got done drying me off, She put shorts and a shirt on me and carried me over to the bed and laid me down.

Michelle pulled the covers over me and leaned down and kissed me. "I'll always be there for you Samuel…I promise." Michelle said smiling, standing up as she went to get dressed...
