A/N: Hey yal! I've got another chapter for yas! Please review! Pretty please!

"We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we chose to act on, that's who we really are." -Sirius Black

When he got back to the house Kevin made a beeline for Mike's room. "Mike. Mike!" he hissed smacking the green ranger's arm.

"Huh! Oh...it's just you," he mumbled sleeping. He yawned. "Dude whatever it is better be urgent. Like nighlocks are invading the house urgent."

"It is!"

"Fine." Mike sat up and turned on his bedside lamp. "What's up?" the green ranger asked rubbing his arm.

"Antonio met with the black ranger earlier Kevin said keeping his voice low.

"What?! Why?!" Mike asked.

"The black ranger just wanted to talk to him I guess b-"

"What is up with this guy not trying to destroy us on sight like every other nighlock?" Mike asked.

"Will you let me finish! As I was saying, Antonio said that the black ranger called him there."

"Called him there, like he contacted him somehow?"

"Yeah. Exactly like that."

"How could he have done that?"

"I have no clue, but this is getting weirder."

"You're telling me. We should tell-"

"Do not say Jayden, Lauren, and Ji."

"Why not? Kevin this nighlock has it out for Antonio! This isn't the kind of thing we should keep to ourselves!"

"If they find out they'll keep Antonio in the house permanently, and we might never find out what the black ranger wants."

Mike sighed. "Were taking a huge risk here man. They'll kill us when they find out."

"It's for Antonio's own good."

"I just hops they see it that way," Mike said. "Can I go back to sleep now?"

"Yes," Kevin said. He got up and left as Mike turned out his light.

Kevin walked towards his own room. It was midnight and he need to to sleep. He stopped just outside us door, across from Mike's. He heard muttering coming from Jayden's room. He frowned and crept to the red ranger's room. He saw the door was cracked open a little. He opened it more and peered inside.

Jayden was tossing and turning in his bed, muttering in a low, urgent voice. Kevin walked in and approached the sleeping samurai cautiously. "Jayden," he whispered, touching the red ranger's trembling shoulder gently. "Jayden."

"No...No," Jayden said. "I...I have to save him...No..."

"Jayden it's just a dream," Kevin said.

"I have to save him...can't...won't...the light can't die...he's not just mine...he's hers..."

"What?"

"Not killed by dark...burned by fire...give away...her hearts desire..."

"Wake up!" Kevin hissed, shaking Jayden.

"Ah!" Jayden screamed jerking awake and tackling Kevin to the ground.

"Jayden. Jayden it's me relax! It's just me!"

"Kevin?" Jayden asked, his breathing heavy. He was sitting on top of the blue ranger, hands around his throat. "What're you doing in here?"

"I heard you muttering and came to investigate. Are you ok?"

"Yeah. Yeah I..." He took a deep breath. "It was just a dream. A bad dream is all."

"Ok, Kevin said. "Was It about Antonio?"

"Never mind," Jayden told him.

"Ok," Kevin said. "Um...Jayden?"

"Yes?"

"Can you get off of me now?"

"Oh, right. Yes." Jayden got off and helped Kevin up.

"You sure you're ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. See you in the morning."

"You too," Kevin said leaving. He shut the door behind him and went to his own room. "Now I'm sure telling Jayden would be a bad idea," he whispered.
