Here is the third chapter, things have finally started to get going and the real action is going to start soon. Please, please, please review :) I'll give you a hug, haha:D

I rubbed my eyes to get rid of that heavy feeling after just waking up. I looked at the staircase and no light was shining down from it, it must have still been night. I looked around for Salem. Salem was curled up in a ball in his cat form, laying on the hard concrete floor. Then I saw a pure white hand pop out of the floor and wave through his head repeatedly. There was an obnoxious laughing afterwards and the hand disappeared. Spyros popped out of the floor and was flying through Salem repeatedly and giggling at the same time. Salem was shivering a little bit from Spyros's chilling essence.

"Spyros's what are you doing? Leave him alone you pest!" I whispered. He looked at me and giggled some more. He then held his hand over his head and waved it over his head slowly.

"Pet the kitty, pet the kitty, pet the kitty," Spyros said holding back his giggles.

"Spyros if you don't leave him alone I'll find a way to exorcize you." Spyros immediately stopped and gave me a disappointed look.

"Fine, I'll go find something else to do." He then flew up the stair case humming a tune.

I looked down at Salem. I felt bad for him, he was sleeping on a cold concrete floor. I reached down and picked him up and set him at the foot of my bed. He woke up and looked at me with his eyes half open, then put his head back down and fell back to sleep. I fluffed my pillow and set my head on it. I rolled onto my stomach and I felt my eyes getting heavy and they shut on me.

I felt my mind slowly becoming focused again. I opened my eyes slightly and saw the light shining down from the staircase and I heard birds chirping. I didn't want to get up. I was really warm and cozy. I closed my eyes again and just laid there. Then I sprung my eyes back open as fast as a bullet. I Felt a body pressed against my back, I opened up the covers and I saw arms wrapped around my body, one hand was holding my breast.

I flung myself out of the bed like a cricket and looked at Salem who was laying in bed, now awake because I shot out of the bed. He looked at me confused, with one eye open.

"What?" he asked.

"Uhh.." I felt my face get as hot as a stove, I was definitely blushing. "We were, uhh.. We were just spooning!" I screeched.

"Really? Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I'm really sorry." he said to me, rubbing his eyes.

"Its okay, it just caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting it. Lets just.. I don't know lets just not do it again." I said.

"Okay, I'm sorry we wont."

"Okay good." I said.

I rushed into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. Well that was embarrassing, although he was really warm. It felt really nice to have his arms wrapped around me. I smiled and looked at myself in the mirror. I was just cuddling with a guy! A really cute one too! I felt my heart pounding extremely fast under my ribs. I walked to the shower and slid open the door. I turned the knob and let the water shoot out. I opened up the closet and took out a towel and set it on the floor. I kinda wish he would come in the shower with me. I've always wanted to shower with somebody else. He would never do that with me though, and what would he think of me? He would probably think I'm a slut. He would never do anything like that with me. I felt the water with my hand that was showering down and decided that it was warm enough so I got under the water.

I wrapped the towel around my body after I got done with my shower and went to the closet. I picked out my usual clothing of a short black skirt, black long sleeved shirt, long purple socks to match my hair and black shoes. I looked at the black shirt that I held up in my hands. Then I took out a different shirt that was just as tight, it showed off my figure just as much but this one had a larger collar so I could show off my cleavage. Maybe I should wear it for Salem. I thought about it for a second, but I decided not to and put the larger collared shirt back in the closet.

I did my usual brushing my hair and putting on my make up and I walked out of the bathroom. Salem was still asleep on my bed. I nudged him on the shoulder a few times and he woke up.

"C'mon you want something to eat?" I asked.

"Uhh.. Sure."

"Ok well I'm going to make some eggs you can shower if you want, by the time you get out they should be ready."

"Ok that sounds good." Salem sat up in the bed and stood up slowly. He stretched his arms out and barely picked up his feet as he walked to the bathroom and shut the door.

I went to my messy cooking area and opened up a giant cupboard above the stove. There was a mini fridge in it and I pulled out the eggs and a half gallon carton of milk. I cracked the eggs into a bowl and mixed them up. I wasn't a very good cook but I could get by with simple foods.

I decided to make scrambled eggs. I was scrambling the eggs around in the pan and I listened to the shower going in the bathroom. It felt weird having a guy in my cellar. I never had guys over before. It's pretty fun actually, I have somebody to keep me company. I was finishing up the eggs and the shower stopped running. I could hear Salem drying off and moving around. I put the scrambled eggs on two plates and I looked around my room. Where would we sit? I usually sit at my desk but that's just me. I don't really have a place for two people to sit. Oh well maybe I'll get a table later, and clean up this place a little more so its more respectable looking if people are over. I poured two glasses of milk and I set Salem's plate at the desk with his glass of milk. I sat on my bed and held my plate and set the glass on the floor.

Salem then came out of the bathroom his hair still damp. He was wearing his usual attire of clothing. His black sweatshirt, black rolled up sweat pants, his black socks that went midway up leg, and his black sneakers.

I pointed at his plate at the desk with my fork and he sat down and picked up his plate. He spun around in the chair and faced me and started eating his eggs.

"So, what exactly are you? You have a human and a cat form?" I asked.

"I'm just a cat, a cat with magical abilities. I think a curse or a spell was placed on somebody in my family somewhere down the line, like as an experiment or something. Probably years and years ago. Then somehow the trait was passed down the family line."

"Well that's interesting, that's kinda how witches came along. Somehow some people just had certain abilities that others didn't and it just passed down from one person to the next. It was either you were born with it or you weren't."

"I see, so did your parents have any special abilities?" Salem asked.

"Nope, when I was like twelve, which is like around the time when my body started to go through some changes, I obtained my abilities when I went through puberty, which is how most witches get their abilities. Once my parents found out they basically disowned me, so I ran away. My mom's grandma was a witch so I must have somehow got her abilities passed down to me."

"That's sad, your parents pretty much hated you just because of something you had?"

"Yeah, I don't care though I'm better off on my own anyways."

We both finished up our eggs and I gulped down my milk. I took Salem's dishes and I brought them over to the small sink next to the stove. I turned around and took a deep breath.

"So, now what?" I asked.

"I guess we gotta get going, we're supposed to hunt down these people I guess."

I took out my sheet of paper that I received from Kerrigan. I opened it up and I looked at the first name. The paper then pulled out of my grip and was floating in mid air. Spyros then appeared holding my piece of paper

"Spyros give it back, that's very important!" I yelled.

"Who's Nico Bianchi?" Spyros asked ignoring me. I snatched the paper from him and looked at the first name on the list, Nico Bianchi. Next to his name was a dash and the words Venice, Italy. Damn, he's way in Italy. I wonder what makes this guy so special?

"Apparently this guy is in Venice," I said.

"Who's in Venice, what are you talking about?" Spyros asked.

"How are we gonna get way over there?" I asked, ignoring Spyros.

"I know a way, but it requires a lot of energy and I will be really tired once we get there, but at least we wont have to deal with travel or anything." Salem said.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!" Spyros screamed in my face.

"We are going to kill this guy!" I hissed back at him.

"For what?" he asked.

"For The Organization."

"Oh that witch group your in! Right."

"Yeah we need to kill these guys," I said.

"Can I come along?" Spyros asked.

Me and Salem both said, "NO" simultaneously.

"Aww.. Why not? I promise I'll be good, please, please, please, please?" Spyros begged.

I pondered the thought of him coming along with us for a second. He could prove to be helpful, he does have his supernatural powers, plus he cant really die. So it would help to have him around.

"I'll let you come, on one condition," I said. Salem groaned after I said this and he pulled his face down with his fingers.

"Ok what?" Spyros asked.

"You can't be annoying, plus you have to do what I say, and what Salem says too."

"Ok no problem I promise I won't be annoying, and I will listen to you."

"This mission for us is very, very important. We can't have you screwing around, this is very serious. You understand?" I asked him firmly.

"Yes, I understand." responded Spyros. I looked at Salem, and he seemed a little disappointed that Spyros was coming along.

"Ok so Salem, what were you saying about not having to travel?" I asked.

"Lets just go outside I'm gonna have to show you." Salem started walking up the stairs I quickly grabbed my hat off of the wall and I followed him. Spyros just flew through the ceiling. I put my hat on as we stepped out into the sunlight. It must have been around midday, the sun was shining directly over head. The graveyard didn't seem as gloomy during the day. I took a deep breath and looked at Salem, Spyros was spinning in circles waiting for something interesting to happen.

"Oh I forgot to tell you, if you need anything to bring with you, you might wanna get it now," said Salem.

"Just my broom I guess," I said. I put my hand on the ground and I started to pull up some vines, entangled within the vines was my broom. I took out my broom from the vines and the vines receded back into the earth.

"Alright then lets get this started then," said Salem. Spyros stopped spinning and looked at Salem.

Salem clapped his hands together then pulled them apart slowly, an orange orb was glowing in between his hands. He pulled his arms apart gradually and the orb started to get bigger. He then put his hands over the orb and pushed it downward so it was on the ground, the orb was about the size of a basketball now. He then brought his hands up and the glowing orange followed his hands so he made a large oval shaped glowing light. He then spread his hands wider. He dropped his arms and there was a loud cracking sound. The giant orange glowing blob changed into a giant telephone booth shaped jack-o-lantern. Inside of it there was still an orange glowing orb. Salem was inhaling and exhaling deeply as if he was out of breath. He rubbed the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah.. I'm fine. Ok so what we're gonna do is touch that orb that is inside the jack-o-lantern, it should take us to Venice within a second. However I don't know if it will work for ghosts." Said Salem looking at Spyros.

"Ok, well its worth a shot," I said. Salem took out a knife from his sleeve and etched the words "Venice, Italy. Invisible from sight of any humanoids."

"Ok it should be ready now, I'll go first, then I want Spyros to try and go, and then you go if it does work for Spyros. That way if it doesn't work for him, I can teleport back to you."

"Ok well lets go then." I said.

Salem walked up to the jack-o-lantern and took a deep breath. He put his hand through the mouth of the jack-o-lantern and he touched the orange glowing orb. An orange glow then surrounded his body, it was the same color as the orb and with a crack he was gone.

"Wow that was awesome! My turn!" Yelled Spyros. Spyros flew at the jack-o-lantern and flew right through the side of it and into the glowing orb. He was then covered with an orange glowing coat, he then disappeared with a crack. Well it works for ghosts I guess. I suppose it's My turn now. I walked up to the jack-o-lantern and reached through the mouth like Salem did. I touched the orb and all of a sudden all I saw was orange and I felt my body get very warm. Then all of a sudden I fell down and I plopped on my butt on a roof of some building. I looked up and Salem was reaching down with a hand to help me up, and Spyros was laughing hysterically. I grabbed onto Salem's hand and he pulled me up. I looked around at the buildings. All the building were either very close or connected. There was a ton a buildings. I could see water, a lot of water. Canals and bridges were everywhere. I looked at the building we were on, It was a very big tower that was above the rest of the buildings. I still gripped my broom in my hand. I guess we're flying down.

"Now what?" I asked.

"Hmm.. Well I think we should split up and ask around for this Nico guy. Uhh.. What was his name?" said Salem.

"Nico Bianchi," I said.

"Okay so I say we split up and meet back here at midnight." said Salem.

"I don't know if that's a good idea, I have never been here before and this place seems kinda confusing, I think we would be better off staying together," I said.

"Yeah good point, ok lets do that," Said Salem.

"Spyros you can go exploring just be back here at midnight sharp, got it?" I said.

"Okay, sure thing Alicia."

"And you better not be late!" I said.

"Okay, okay. Fine," Spyros then flew off.

"Don't cause too much trouble either!" I shouted, hoping he heard me.

I looked at the sun, it was very nice out. The way the sunlight reflected off the water, it was like the whole city was sparkling. It was a very beautiful city. There were boats floating around all over the place.

"Ok so are you ready to get down?" Salem asked.

"Yeah lets go."

I sat on my broom sideways like I usually do, and Salem made a jack-o-lantern and sat on it. We flew down a small alley way fast so people couldn't see us too well and we landed quickly.

We decided to get something to eat first, because Salem needed to get some energy back from making the teleportation jack-o-lantern. We ate some pasta, and bread at a small café. Then we went around asking for the Nico guy. It was weird because pretty much everyone knew him. He was the most wanted man in Venice. He was the head of a Mafia called Aqua Kings. Many people refused to speak about him, and almost everyone didn't know where he would be. Some said he had an underwater tunnel, some said he didn't even live in Venice. We then came across this man. He was an older man, gray hair probably in his sixties. He claimed he knew exactly where he lived, he would not give us his name. Apparently he lived in a small apartment on the first floor, however it burrowed underground in a huge headquarters for the gang. He said it was on the north side of the city. He handed us a map of Venice with a small X on a spot to the north of Venice. We didn't know who this guy was exactly but who else could we trust?

It has been dark out for a while now and it was getting close to midnight, we decided to head back to the meeting point and meet with Spyros. We flew back up to the tower and sat down on the roof. I looked at the dead waters, there weren't many boats in the water at night compared to the day. The moon glimmered above, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The moon looked very pretty here. Especially the way it shined down on the city. The city was very quiet, all you could hear was the water moving throughout the city. I looked at Salem and he was looking up at the stars. I just looked at his black hair waving slightly in the wind. He then looked at me.

"What are you smiling about?" he asked.

"What? I was smiling?" I asked confused.

"Yeah you were giving me a weird smile."

"Oh I don't know." I said. There was a short moment of silence.

"Where is Spyros? He's late," asked Salem. Spyros's face appeared in front of him.

"Boo," he said quietly. Salem jumped a little bit.

"You annoying little pest," said Salem angered. Spyros started laughing loudly, like he usually does.

"Ok, well I suggest we get to work," I said looking at both of them.

Well there you have it, my third chapter. Don't forget to review! Also if you catch any mistakes that I didn't catch let me know please. Thank you :)
