Saturday October 29th 1977. 10:22 A.M. I woke up to the sound of some cats meowing outside the window. "Mmmmm." I said stretching. *my hand bumps something* "huh?" I said looking at my hand. I saw my hand was touching Rays left boob. *hand instinctively squeezes*

"a-a-a-a-." I didn't know what to say. My face turned bright red and I looked at ray. Ray was still sound asleep. I pulled my hand away and quickly got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I closed the door and head my head over the sink as blood started to drip from my nose and into the sink. "Dam it dam it dam it." I said quietly to not wake Ray up. "Why the hell did I s-squeeze my hand!?" I said try to get my nose to stop.

I tried to calm my heart rate down, but all I could think about was how soft rays boob felt. "Damit Samuel." I said to myself. I ripped some toilet paper off the roll and twirled it up and put it in my nose.

I took my clothes off and got in the shower. Careful not to rip my side, I took out the paper from my nose and started to wash myself. After a few minutes, I got out. I dried off and put my clothes back on and walked out. Ray was still sleeping. I walked downstairs to the kitchen to start cooking for everyone for when they show up.

I started to cook some eggs and toast with bacon. As the food was cooking, I saw I had a little blood on my shirt. I left the kitchen and walked into the laundry room and took my shirt off and put it in the washer. I walked back into the kitchen to get the eggs before they burnt.

I put them on the plate and turn around. I shouldn't have done that… "Samuel?" A quiet and sleepy voice said. I saw Ray standing there in the shirt I gave her, but when I looked down, I saw her shorts where off to reveal her red panties. "R-Ray!?" I yelled which scared her as she jumped and yelp. When she did, we both slipped onto the floor with a crash.

*two minutes ago outside Samuel's house* A green car pulls up to my house as it comes to a stop.

"I told you we should have taken 5th Ave." Amara said getting out of the car. "Hey, I wanted to bring something ok? It's rude to show up for breakfast without bringing something." Trista said getting out.

"Is that way you got wine?" Michelle said getting out. "You know Samuel doesn't drink." Amara said walking to the front door with Michelle. "Good, more for me then." Trista said with a smirk. Michelle and Amara rolled their eyes as they walked up to the front door.

Amara was about to knock with they heard a loud crash. "What was that!?" Michelle said trying to look through the window. Amara tried to open the door but it was locked. "The doors locked!" Amara said looking back at Michelle and Trista. Michelle pulled out a spare key and quickly unlocked the door.

They all stood next to the door as Michelle quickly opened the door. "Samuel, we heard a loud sou-." Was all Amara said as she, and Michelle and Trista looked on with the biggest eyes they have ever made as Michelle put her hands over her mouth.

*two minute ago with Samuel and Ray* I looked up to see Ray laying on top of me from falling down. Her right hand was laying on my chest and her right knee was in between my legs. We both looked at each other with bright Red faces. We were frozen in place, to shocked to do anything. Rays shirt was revealing enough from hovering over me that could see a lot of her cleavage. "A-a-ahh." Was all I could say as my face was bright red. I'm s-sorry!" I said was I leaned up to help ray up. Ray stops my hand. I looked at Ray who had an innocent look on her face.

Ray cupped her hand with mine. 'R-ray?" I said not knowing what to do. Just then Ray slowly leaned her head on my chest. "Samuel…" Ray said quietly as she slowly ran her finger on my chest. "These last few days have been hard on me…" Ray said as she was still laying on my chest. "At work, I get hit on by old gross guys who think its ok to treat girls like property…at school people talked about me behind my back, saying mean things and spreading lies about me." Ray said as she leaned up and looked me in my eyes. "But even when I feel like there's no one who cares about me or remembers me…I remember you." Ray said as she ran her hand across my cheek.

"Every time I think of the things you have done for me the last few years, walking with me to school…" *Rays 1 foot from my face* "coming to see me at work…" Rays 9 inches from my face* "Waiting after work to make sure I get home safe…" *Rays 6 inches from my face* "Every time I think of it, my heart starts to hurt and race a thousand miles…" *Rays 3 inches from my face* "Ray…" I said looking at her. "Which is why Samuel, I think that I...I lo-"

I was almost certain that Ray was going to kiss me. But before she could do anything, I heard the front door open.

"Samuel, we heard a loud sou-." I looked the left to see Amara, Michelle and Trista standing in my front door looking at me with their mouths opened and shock in their eyes. Me and Ray where still frozen in place. After a few seconds, Michelle said something. "So umm, where we interrupting you two?" Michelle said with her hand still over her mouth. I finally snapped out of it. "N-NO! this isn't want it looks like!" I said sliding away from Ray and standing up.

"Well, I didn't think you were so bold Samuel. "Amara said closing the front door. "That's not what happened!" I said blushing bright Red. "You do have such a way with the lady's Samuel." Trista said smiling as they all walked over.

"Well, well, well Ray, I didn't think you had it in you." Michelle said winking at Ray. Ray just stood there blushing and trying her hardest to pull her shirt down over her panties. "I'm s-sorry!" Ray said running up the stairs and into the bedroom, closing the door. "You guys shouldn't tease her so much." I said walking into the laundry room and grabbing a clean shirt. "Oh we know." Trista said smiling. "It's all part of growing up." Amara said leaning against the wall.

After putting my shirt on, Ray walked out with pants on. Ray was still blushing a little as she walked by everyone and sat at the table. "Anyway, I have breakfast ready, let's eat." I said walking back to the counter.

Everyone walked to the table and sat down. Ray sat at the end, Michelle sat to the left, Amara sat to the right and Michelle sat in my chair. "So did you figure anything new out?" I said putting the eggs on the plate. Trista shot and look at Amara. "Yes…we might have found where Serena is." I almost dropped the plate. "What!?" I said looking at her. "Where is she?!" I said looking at Trista. "Take a deep breath and sit down Samuel." Trista said.

After calming myself, I put the plate of eggs and bacon on the table and pulled another chair over to the table and sat next to Michelle. Everyone said thank you as they all started to eat. "Mmmm, yummy." Michelle said. "Needs more salt." Trista said full of herself. I roll my eyes. "So where do you think Serena is being held?" I said looking at her.

Michelle and Trista and Amara all looked at each other for a few seconds before Trista said anything. "We believe she's being held somewhere in Chinatown." Trista said. "And what makes you think that?" I said looking at her. Trista looked at Amara.

"After asking around, we have several eye reports that people saw a young blonde girl with ponytails and a older woman walk into a night club a few days ago. Amara said looking at me. "The thing is that we don't know which night club." Amara said talking a bite of her bacon. I sat there thinking to myself for a minute.

"How many nightclubs are in Chinatown?" I said. "23." Trista said. "So if all four of us split up, we would need to check 6 clubs each." I said. "Time is not on are side." Michelle said. "Serena is almost out of time. After beryl gets what she wants from her…" Michelle looked down at her plate. "Don't worry, I won't let that happen." I said looking at her. "I know…" Michelle said with a weak smile.

"What about our little trio of friends?" Amara said. "…I'm going to go talk to them." I said. "Can you trust them?" Trista said. "If Lita trusts them, then so can I." I said looking at her. "But it would be best if I went to see them by myself."

"Samuel, you're still recovering." Michelle said. "I know, don't worry, I'm not going alone." I said sitting back down. "Ok." Trista said taking a bite of her eggs.

"So what did you and Ray find out last night?" Amara said looking at me. I motioned to Ray. Ray pulled out her necklace and showed it to everyone. "Oh, it's pretty." Michelle said. "Is that what I think it is?" Trista said. "I think so." I said looking at it. The light coming in from the window made it shine softly. "I have an Idea." I said standing up.

I went and got my necklace from my bedroom and came back. "Ray, put your necklace on the table." Ray put hers in the middle of the table. I sat mine next to hers. As soon as I put mine next to hers, they both started to shine brightly. "What!?" Ray said. "What's happening?" Trista said with a shocked look on her face. "If what Seiya said is true, then all the necklaces will react to each other when they come in contact with each other." I said picking mine up. "This way, we can find where the others are at." I said as Ray picks hers up as well. "Interesting." Michelle said.

"So we now have two in are possession, and beryl has one."

"So that just leaves 6 more out there." Amara said."Wait." I said with my hand under my chin. "I think Amy has one too."

"What!?" Michelle said. "Why do you think that?"

"A few days ago, I took Amy to her fathers workplace where she got a necklace that looked like the others. I'm sure its one of the talismans." I said looking up. "I'll make sure to test it out the next time i see Amy."

"Ok, if it really is one of them, then that makes 3 we have. Now the question is, how do we find the others?" Trista said leaning back in my chair. Looking up at the clock I saw it was already 1 o'clock. "Well it's about time we head to the station." Trista said as she and Amara stood up and put their plates away. "Thanks for breakfast Samuel." Trista said giving a small bow. "No problem, it was nice having you over." I said smiling. I could have sworn I saw Trista blush lightly. "Oh ya, here." I said tossing a key to Trista. "Thanks for letting me borrow the cop car last night."

"Sure thing." Trista said smiling. "Michelle, can you drive the car back with us?"

"Sure." Michelle said Trista tossed her the key.

Michelle got up and gave me a hug as she and Amara and Trista walked to the front door. I walked over as Amara and Trista got into her car and Michelle got into the cop car. "Be safe Samuel." Trista said. "I will." I said smiling and giving a wave as they drove off down the street.

Closing the door, I walked back in to see Ray doing the dishes. "Ray you don't need to do the dishes." I said walking over to her. "I know, I'm sorry. it's a force of habit." Ray said turning off the water.

"So you're going to so see those guys now?" Ray said drying her hands. "Ya, I need to clear some things up with them." I said walking to my room. "I'm going to change and head out."

"Ok." Ray said as she sat down and turned on the TV. I grabbed some clean clothes and got dressed. I put my gun in my holster and my necklace on and headed downstairs.

"Ray, I want you to say home for today and lay low." I said walking to the front door. "Ok." Ray said looking at me. "Please be careful ok Samuel?" Ray said looking at me as I opened the door. "I promise." I said smiling as I closed the door and locked it. It was somewhat sunny today with a few clouds. I took a deep breath and started to walk to Lita's house…

Saturday, October 29th 1977 1:20 P.M. walking up to Lita's house, I braced myself. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. We haven't talked since I yelled at her. I held my head up as I knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened. Lita stood there in a night gown rubbing her eyes. Lita looked at me for a second like she couldn't believe who she was looking at? "Samuel!?" Lita said putting her hand over her mouth. "Hey Lita…" I said smiling.

Lita pulled me in and hugged me. "Oh Samuel, I'm so sorry." Lita said as she tried not to cry. "Hey, it's ok, don't cry." I said petting her head. "This was all my fault." Lita said leaning against my shoulder. "Because of me, you got hurt."

"Don't blame yourself Lita." I said looking at her. "But if it makes you feel better, Ill forgive you." I said smiling Lita blushes and nods. "O-ok." Lita said. "So why did you stop by?" Lita said.

I walked over and sat down at the couch. "I need to meet with Seiya and the others." I said looking down at the ground. Lita didn't say anything as she walks over and sits down next to me. "Have you made up your mind then?" Lita said looking at me. "I'm still not sure I believe it or not. But I know right now the only way to save my friends is to help you and fight, so that's what I'm going to do." I said looking at her. "So you can count me in." Lita smiled. "Thank you…" Lita said.

Lita stood up and went into her room to change. After a few minutes, she came back out wearing brown shorts and a black sweater. "Let's go." Lita said walking over to the door. I got up and followed behind her as she locked the door. We walked down the steps and started our walk to see Seiya...

*18 minutes later* after walking for a while, we get to a warehouse on the edge of town. We both walked up to the door and Lita pulled out a key and opened the door. We both walked in and locked the door behind us. The warehouse was very old looking and very big. "Is this the same warehouse that I was in?"

"No, we have a few that we switch between every week to keep certain people from finding us out." Lita said as I followed her to the back of the warehouse.

"It's about time you showed up." A voice said walking out from the back room. "Hay Seiya." Lita said walking over. Me and Seiya just looked at each other for a second before I walked over too. "Hello Seiya." I said. "Hey." Seiya said back shaking my hand. "So I take it by you coming here that you're ready to help us?" Seiya said. I looked at Lita and back to Seiya.

"Everything I thought I knew about has been turned upside down in such a short amount of time." I said looking down. "But my friends need me now, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe." I said looking back him.

"So I'm in, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Of course, name it." Seiya said. "Promise me you will do right by me...so I can do right by someone else." I said. Seiya nodded at me.

"You have my word." Seiya gave a small bow. "Welcome aboard Samuel." Seiya said turning around. "Follow me and we will get started." Me and Lita followed Seiya downstairs and into what looked like an abandon underground railroad system. On the track, there was an old box cart. We walk up to it and Seiya opens the door and reveal his brothers working on some papers.

They look up and stare for a few seconds at us as me and Lita walk in and sit down at the table. "Ok, so we have a few things we need to go over Samuel." Seiya said as his brother handed him a folder.

Seiya took the folder and opened it up and passed me a few with some pictures on them. The one picture that caught my eye was one of beryl standing with a man. I sat there looking at the picture as seiya started to talk.

"Samuel. Do you understand why beryl what's you dead?" Seiya said sitting down. "More or less." I said looking up from the picture. "We need to find the talismans before she does." Seiya said looking through some papers. I looked at Lita who nodded at me. "Seiya?" I said. "Yes?" Seiya said looking up at me.

I slowly pulled my necklace off my neck and put it on the table. Seiya's mouth open as his brothers looked on in shocked. "Where did you find this?" Seiya said picking it up. "I've had it sense I was a baby." I said. Seiya looked over it closely.

"I would bet anything that this is one of them." Seiya said handing me it back. I put it back around my neck. "Is there any way to know if it is one of them for sure?" Lita said. "There is." I said looking at her. "If two talismans come close to each other, they start to glow. And if that's the case, then we have two." Everyone looked at me with shock. "Really Samuel?' Lita said looking at me. "Yes, what we need to figure out is how to draw out their hidden power." I said looking up. "Have you found anything new out with queen beryl?" I said.

Seiya looked back at his brothers and nodded. "We believe beryl has found another talisman." Seiya said. "It's inside the Chicago museum being guarded by a state of the art security glass case."

"And how does beryl hope to get in and get it?" I said leaning back in my chair. "Remember the drills they stole?" Seiya said. "They're going to tunnel under the museum and dig right under it." I thought to myself. "That doesn't make much since on her part. There are miles of pipes and wires, she would have to know where everything is-." Then it hit me.

"Wait!" I said standing up. "What is it?" Seiya said looking up. "That's why there kidnapping people!" The people are architects for the city, they're the ones who would know where they would need to dig!" I said walking over to the door. "Seiya, when are they going to try and get the talismans?" I said looking back. "We don't know, it could be tonight or a week from now." Seiya said standing up.

"OK, I'm going to go look into this, I'll let you know what I find out." I said opening the door. "You coming Lita?" Lita looked at Seiya. "Go ahead Lita, we got everything covered here." Seiya said shooing his hand. "Thank you Seiya." Lita said walking over to me. We both started to leave as I begin to think of what I was going to do...

Saturday October 29th 1977. 2:34 P.M. Walking up to the museum, I looked around. There weren't a lot of people here today.

We walk in and start to look around. After looking for 10 minutes, we walked into the japan war room. In the center of the room was a glass case. We both walk up and look at it. To our surprise, there was three of them. One was a light brown garnet in the shape of an H with a longer line going down the middle of it and a loop on the end. The other one was a light green Amethyst in the shape of a Trident with a cross on the bottom of it. The last one was a black Aquamarine in the shape of a Capital P with a lip on the bottom of it.

"What does the plaque say about them?" I said looking at them more closely. Lita bends over and starts to read.

"These items were found in 1819 by archaeologists in Japan, these talismans where found with a paper that no one has yet to decipher, but it's believed that it's related to a war from long ago." Lita stands back up.

"So what do you think?" Lita said looking at them. "Only one way to find out." I said pulling my necklace out. I held it up to the glass. After about 3 seconds. all four start to shine. "Well I'll be." I said putting my necklace back on my shirt.

"That makes six." I said looking around. "So what now?" Lita said. "I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure we can't buy them from them." I said walking around with my hand under my chin. "Not to mention this lock is almost impossible to brake." Lita said looking at all the wires coming around and under the case and the lasers shooting across the glass.

They weren't kidding when they said state of the art." Lita said standing up. "…If we can show them that there evidence in a case…" I said looking up. "I need to go see Trista." I said looking at Lita. "Ok, I'm going to stick around here for a little more and see if I can learn anything else about them." Lita said. "Ok, get a hold of Seiya and let him know that we found three of them." I said walking off to the front door. "Will do." Lita said walking over to a payphone.

Walking out of the museum, I started to walk to Trista's office, hoping she could help me…

Saturday October 29th 1977. 3:41 P.M. Walking up the steps to the police station, I walked in and walked to Trista's office.

*knock knock* "Come in." A voice said. I opened the door and walked in to see Trista sitting at her desk writing some things down on some papers. "Samuel!?" Trista said smiling. "Hey Trista." I said closing the door. "You busy?" I said sitting down. "Not really, what's up?" Trista said looking at me.

"I found out what beryl is going to do with the drills." I said looking at her. "Really? What?" Trista said looking more serious. I sat down in the chair and told Trista about beryl's plan. *6 minutes later*

"Hmmm…" Trista said leaning back in her chair. "That would explain everything."

"So I need to know if there's a way you could get the talismans out of there possession and into ours." I said. Trista thought for a minute. "I could, but there's a chance I could lose my job." Trista said looking out the window. "If we could fake a case where we need it, we can have them give it to us." Trista said looking back. "But I think it's too risky to do." I sat there thinking to myself. I knew we had to get it before beryl did, no matter what. I knew what I had to do.

"…Trista?" I said looking down "Yes?" Trista said looking. "If you do this for me then ill…"I said looking away. "You'll what?" Trista said crossing her legs. "I'll…let you do whatever you want to me for a day." I said blushing bright red. I could not see her face but I knew Trista was smiling. "Hmmm…" Trista said biting her bottom lip smiling. "Ok, I'll do it." Trista said standing up. A part of me was hoping she would say no.

"Give me a day and I should have it ready." Trista said walking over to the door. "Ok." I said standing up and walking over to the door. "Thanks Trista." I said walking out the door. "Oh no Samuel, thank you..." Trista said licking her top lip smiling.

I blushed red and started to walk to the front door, thinking to myself what the hell did I just myself into. Walking out of the police station, looked up and saw the weather was clearing up. I was still a little sore from my wound, so I decided I would go relax for now. Thinking of where to go. I decided I would go get a drink at the silver millennium.

After walking for what felt like a hour, I get to the nightclub. There was not a lot of people here during the daytime. Walking up, I saw the bouncer standing there. "Hello sir, welcome, may I see some id?" He said. I thought for a second and then held up my badge. "Here you go sir." I said looking at him. After looking at it for a second, he lets me in. "Have a good time sir." He said closing the door as I walked in.

There was no windows in the nightclub, so it was dark inside. Walking up to the bar area, I sat down and wanted for the bartender to come over. I looked around and saw there was only about 25 people in here. Most nights there's about 70 or 80.

The loud music played in the back ground as the bartender walked up to me. "What can I get you sir?" I turned around. "I'll just take a cranberry juice with a cherry." The bartender looked like he thought I was joking.

"Of course, one moment." He said walking away. As I'm sitting there thinking to myself, Out of the corner of my eye I see Seiya and his brother's walk into the night club.

"Hey Samuel." Seiya said walking over to me. "What are you guys doing here?" I said as the bartender came back with my drink. "Here you go sir." He said handing me my drink. "Thanks." I said as he walks away. "We have a gig to play here." He said lifting here bags up. "You're in a band?" I said taking a sip. "Ya. Where called the starlight's."

"Nice band name." I said. "I play guitar, drums and piano myself."

"Really? Well maybe you help us out then." Seiya said. "What's up?" I said sitting my drink next to me. "The song we want to play tonight requires another guitar riff. Do you think you can play this song with us?" Seiya said handing me a music sheet. I looked over the sheet and smiled. "Sure, I'll play with you guys." I said standing up. "Great, thanks." Seiya said.

I leave my money under the cup as I followed Seiya and his brothers to the stage. The people started to walk up to the stage as we put on our interments. "Do you want me to play lead?" I said plugging my guitar in. "Ya that's fine, I'll do rhythm." Seiya said strumming a few cords. Seiya looked at his brothers to make sure they were ready. They both nod. "You ready Samuel?"

"Ready when you are." I said holding my hand on an E cord. Seiya walks up to the mic and taps it.

*tap tap* "Hey everyone, where the starlight's and we will be playing for you this evening." *A few people clap and cheer* Seiya looks at me. "Ok Samuel, start us off." Seiya said as he and his brothers took their stance. I smiled as I start to play…

"We've been together since way back whennn. Sometimes IIIIII never want to see you againnn, But I want you to know, after all these yearsss. you're still the one I want whispering in my earrr, you're still the one I want to talk to in beddd, Still the one that turns my headdd, we're still having funnn, and you're still the oneee, I looked at your face every dayyy, but I never saw it 'til I went awayyy, when winter cameee, I just wanted to go wanted to gooo, deep in the desert, I longed for the snowww, you're still the one that makes me laughhh, still the one that's my better halfff, we're still having fun, and you're still the oneee, You're still the one that makes me stronggg, still the one I want to take alonggg, we're still having fun, and you're still the oneee, yes you are

*Guitar solo*

changing, our love is going golddd, even though we grow old, it grows new, you're still the one that I love to touchhh, still the one and I can't get enoughhh, we're still having fun, and you're still the oneeee..." *repeats the line 3 times*

As we hit the last note, the crowed goes wild. We all walk up to the stage and give a bow. As I'm looking over the crowed, My heart almost stopped when I saw a girl with long blonde hair smiling at me as she turned around and walked to the front door. I quickly take my guitar off and run for the front door. I threw open the doors and look around…but there was no one there…

"Hey Samuel, is everything ok?" Seiya said walking up from behind me. "Ya I'm fine, I just thought I…saw someone." I said walking back in with Seiya.

Saturday October 29th 1977. 5:32 P.M. Walking up to one of the tables, I sit down with Seiya. "Man Samuel, you're really good at guitar." Seiya said pouring a cup of water. "Where did you learn to play like that?"

"I learned most of it when I was 17." I said pouring my own cup of water. "Is there any other talent that you have that I don't know about?" Seiya said laughing. "Nothing really." I said taking a drink. "Did Lita call you and tell you about the talismans?"

"Ya, I looked through the books and found the matching symbols Lita told me." Seiya said looking at me. "So what powers are those ones?" I said looking at him. "The power of wind, sea and time." Seiya said looking down.

"I also looked up yours and Rays as well. You have the lightning one and Ray has the fire one." Seiya said taking a drink. "So then the only ones that are left is water, energy and the moon." I said looking down at my glass.

"If lady luck is on our side, then the rest should be in town somewhere." Seiya said. "Hmmm..." I thought to myself really hard, then looked up at Seiya. "Would the water one happen to be blue?"

"Ya, why?"

"Then I believe we that one as well."

"What!?" Really? How are you sure?"

"A girl I'm friends with, named Amy, has a blue necklace that matches ours. I haven't tasted it out yet, but I'm sure its one of them."

"Ok, if that's the case, the there's only two more need." Seiya said taking a drink. "So did you figure a way to get the talismans i the museum yet?" Seiya said looking over to me. "Ya, I talked to a friend at the police station who said they should be able to get them for us by tomorrow." I said taking the last sip out of my glass. "Ok. Once we do get them, we will need to figure out who they belong to." Seiya said.

"Is there any way you could look up and see if you know which family they belong too?"

"Sadly our records stop tracing the family's sometime after 1400 AD." Seiya said putting his cup down. "Ok. we will worry about that bridge with we come to it." I said looking at Seiya, Seiya nodded as we both started to talk about our lives…

Saturday, October 29th 1977 9:45 P.M. "And then I say, that's not a fur coat, that's my girlfriend!" Seiya said as he started to laugh. I laughed as I shook my head. I looked up at the clock and saw it was getting late.

"Hey Seiya, it's about time I went home." I said standing up. "Ya, I better head back and check to see if beryl has started to move or not." Seiya said standing up along with his brothers as we started to walk to the door. "Make sure you let me know tomorrow as soon as you have the talismans." Seiya said opening the door. "Don't worry, I'll know by the afternoon." I said walking out the door. "Ok, take it easy Samuel." Seiya said as he started to walk back to his place. "Later." I said as I started to walk back home.

After walking for a little, I finally get back home. I put my key in and unlock the door and walk in. I look over to see Ray siting down at the table reading a book. "Hey Ray, I'm back." I said closing and locking the door. "Welcome back Samuel." Ray said looking up at me. "Sorry I was gone all day, a lot has happened today." I said walking over and sitting down and sighing. "It's ok, I had a few books to read." Ray said closing her book. "I can finish it tomorrow." Ray said standing up.

"Did you eat dinner yet?" Ray said. "No not yet, ill cook something I suppose." I said looking at the fridge. "Let me cook something for you Samuel." Ray said walking over to me. "Oh Ray, you don't have too." I said looking at her. "Samuel, I haven't done anything for you since I have been here. let me make you something." Ray said Smiling at me. I looked at her for a second and sigh. "Ok fine, if you insist. I'll go take a shower then." I said walking to my room. "Ok." Ray said as she started to cook something.

I walk into the bathroom and got undress and got in the shower. I stood there letting the warm water run down my face as I thought to myself. "Just a few more to find…" I said to myself. I had no Idea what was going to happen when we found all of them. Would we unlock their power and go into a full-scale war with beryl? I put those thoughts into the back of my head for another day as I turned the water off and got out. After 10 minutes, i turned off the water and got out. looked at my wound in the mirror. it was fully sealed up now and was only black. A few more days and ill be good as new.

I dried off and got dressed and headed back downstairs. "Ok, I'm out Ray." I said walking into the kitchen. To my surprise, Ray had a full course meal on the table. I looked around in surprise as I see Ray walking back over to the table with some glasses and juice. "Hey Samuel, I'm almost done." Ray said putting the glasses on the table and filling them up with grape juice. Ray had cooked ribs with mashed potatoes and gravy and cream corn.

"Uhh Ray? Did you make all of this?" I said sitting down. "Oh no, I can't cook." Ray said gigging a little bit. "I went to the store this afternoon and bought a few things for dinner." Say said sitting down. "Ray. I told you to stay home, it's dangerous to go somewhere by yourself now." I said scoping some potatoes up on my plate. "Don't worry, my friend Amy went with me." I stopped and looked at Ray.

"Amy? Amy as in super smart and blue hair Amy?"

"Ya, do you know her?" Ray said as she started to eat. "Ya, she's friends with me, she helped me with this case a little."

"Guess its a small world after all." Ray said sitting down at the table. "Ya...must be." I said thinking to myself as I sat down at the table and started eating.

"So did you find anything out today?" Ray said taking a sip of juice. "I did." I said looking up. So for the next 15 minutes, I told ray how we found 3 more talismans and what beryl was planning.

"Hmm, things just keep getting interesting." Ray said putting her fork down on her plate. "So tomorrow I'm hoping Trista will be able to get them for us." I said standing up. I grabbed Ray's plate and put it in the sink with mine. I looked up at the clock and saw it was already 11:30.

"Well we better head to bed." I said looking at ray. "Ok." Ray said standing up with me. We both head upstairs and got ready for bed. Ray brushes her teeth and I get on my pjs. Ray comes out and I go in and start to brush my teeth, thinking about tomorrow. I finished brushing my teeth as I walk out of the bathroom. We both get into bed and turn out the lights.

"Goodnight Ray."

"Goodnight Samuel." Ray says as we both drifted off to sleep hoping everything will go smoothly tomorrow…
