Authors note: again, I can't thank all of u enough for making this story decently popular :D. Anyways, this chapter is when the story starts to unfold. Review and enjoy :-)

Meanwhile…

Dawn was in her room, meditating. She was trying to find a way to help one of her friends, who was slowly dying. She's tried many things, but all had failed. She was about to come up with another idea, when she felt a dark presence nearby.

"I know your here" Dawn shouted. " Show yourself."

"Oh Dawn, you never fail to amuse me" a voice called as a dark figure appeared.

"What have you done to her?" Dawn asked in a stern voice.

"Me, do anything bad, as if" the figure said with a grin.

"Enough, I know you did something to Samey and I want to know what it is…Mal" Dawn demanded.

"Your a very clever girl"Mal responded. "Anyways, to answer your question, all I did was give her superpowers so that she could stand up to her bratty sister" Mal responded with another grin.

"I know that's not the whole story Mal." Dawn stated. "Explain to me why those "superpowers" are killing her. "

"Like I said, you never fail to amuse me." Mal said. "When I gave her those powers, I also added a leach to the spell. The leach is slowly sucking away her life force as we speak."

"But why her…out of everyone in this world, why do you choose to kill Samey?" Dawn asked in a rather shaky tone.

"Because my dear girl, Samey has something in her DNA that I need. It's called a lightzone and with it, I can become unstoppable. Now, if you excuse me, I must get back home. I'm making tacos." And with that, Mal disappeared from the room, leaving Dawn frozen in a mixture of fear and worry.
