The dinner bell had rang a few minutes ago. And everyone was seated at the table. Quite a few people where missing. King Edward, Tanit, Eva, Aya, Misuru, Mikuru and Crystal and Aroura. The last two where no surprise since they never came out of their tents. But everyone else was a shock to Don.
" Jordan, Have you seen Eva?" He asked while passing a plate to Rick.
" No I havent seen her for an hour or so. Come to think of it I havent seen Aya." Jordan looked down at his food.' Something really bad is going to happen.' He thought. There were several times that he had had this feeling. Once when he broke his arm, plenty on Alwas and Oban,and not to mention when he got here. But dinner went on with out a hitch. Everyone chatting about Stan and Misurus marriage. In fact Koji also made it clear that he was going to propose to Mikuru once this was over. Queen Nori was excited about the facts that her little girls where getting married and at the palace. Aikka tried to stay out of the conversation but that did not happen.
" Aikka why dont you ask that pretty girl you talk about? I'm sure Aya will love to be your wife. I mean by the way you talk about her and every time she comes up, You are first to know about it." Nori couldnt wait till that day when her son would rule the kingdom.
" Nori give him some room. There is no need to rush into marrige." King Lao said calming his wife. Even though he rushed into marrige didnt mean his son would. 'When the time is right thats when he should.' King Lao thought to himself. Everyone finished dinner in silence. No one could think of what to say. In an atmosphere of happieness, sadness, and fear. Once dinner was over Rick went to check on Crystal. Don just left to talk with Stan and Koji. That left Aikka and Jordan together. Not the greatest thing that could happen but yet they actually didnt fight once on their way back to the tent.
" What do you think about me asking Aya for her hand?" Aikka asked
" I think..I think that would be a great idea. She needs someone who can protect her but yet give her freedom. I think you could do that." Jordan said slightly thinking being related to Aikka wouldnt be so bad.
" Thank you Jordan. Now I just need to tell my parents about my decision. What about you Jordan, are you going to ask Molly for he hand?" Aikka asked looking at his 'new' found 'friend'.
" Yes I will. But after we get off this planet." Jordan said parcially worried about what Don would say.
" You will make her very happy, I'm sure of that." Aikka said stepping in side the tent." Aya I would like to-" He stopped short.
" Whats the matter?" Jordan asked as he soon entered the tent. Both stood shocked at the sight. Messy beds, books and papers spread out on the floor, and a note at the back of the tent. Aikka ran forward to get the note trying to not mess anything up anymore than it already was. Jordan soon followed him. Aikka handed the note to Jordan, his face dropping, tears flowing out of his face. Jordan read the note crinkling it up in a fist. Looking at Aikka who had slid to the floor, he ran out of the tent.
" Aya please come back..please yo have to." Aikka said lightly tears falling to the floor.

With The Girls

Eva looked around at the endless white color surrounding her.
" Eva!" Aya called." Where are we?"
" I dont know." Eva replied. She saw Misuru and Mikuru walk up behind them. They said nothing as they started walking towads nothing. The white emptyness soon turned a deep blue black color and a little girl appeared. She had blond hair and a white dress on.
" Excuse me can you tell me where we are?" Aya asked quietly stepping towards the girl. The child looked up and smiled.
" Are you here to save me?" She asked." I dont know where I am. A man came and took me away from my mommy." The little girl looked at the four of them. Then she walked a little bit away from them.

" Fear nothing in this place,
All will be fine,
Fire and ice shine in the starlight,
Dawn the light of Twilight,
Angels will save the souls,
Of the lost and broken,
Feathers will grace the land,
Crystal snow tears will fall,
But you will be safe."

The little girl repeated this a few times before turning back to them.
" Please help me." Then she disappeared.
" What happened?" Misuru asked. No one answered her because of what was happening. The darkness was fading into nothing and soon the girls where nothing as well.

A man watched as the girls showed signs of fear on there faces." SLeep tight my little ones."
