In a world where demons, angels, fairies, dragons, Gods, and many other races exist. There is a kid named Nate. He grows up with nothing in the slums. On an island. The world is a big place but what can he and his 7 brothers discover? Will they live in this island or escape and explore the world?

(Mia P.O.V)

"So we have crib, walker, diapers, car seat, changing table, video monitor, breast pump, all we need now is baby products like baby oil, body wash, body lotion, etc and clothes which we will buy online, " I said closing my notebook and lean oh Nate with a sigh.

"So are you ready to meet your uncle, aunt, and cousins," Nate asks to me.

"No, do you think the will like me or accept me in their family?" I ask him nervously.

"They can not resist loving you, trust me, and if they love and accept you then it's their loss because they don't know what they are missing," he said caressing my arm.

"You always know what to say to make me feel better," I said smiling at him.

"That I know," he said to me with his breathtaking smile. I chuckle at him and give him a quick kiss at his lips.

"Now, let's get ready we don't want to give the wrong impression by coming late did we?" he ask and I shook my head. He kissed my head and we go to our room to get ready for dinner. I decided the wear the dress that I had worn in Nate's welcome home party.

We both get ready and walk downstairs in the living room to see the twins did have gotten ready yet.

"Oliver, Olivia come on get ready fast and come downstairs, or we will late for dinner," I said shouting at them.

"Coming," they yelled from their room and run downstairs while wearing their footwear. We walk out of the house with the kids on our trial. I told Nate to stop in a nearby shop so that I can buy some gifts for my father because it was the first I was visiting his house.

So I decided to but two packs of blueberry ice-cream and a fruit basket for him and drive to his house. It only takes 40 minutes for us to reach there will all the traffic on our way. As we reach his driveway two watchmen open the large steel gate for us and there stood a big beautiful Mansion made of glasses, where you can see what was happening outside from standing inside but no one can see what was happening inside, surrounded by freshly clean trees, bushes' and grass. There is a small water fountain with a lady standing between it.

As we get out of our car, a velvet comes to us and takes the car keys from Nate's hand and Nate guides us to the door. As I was about to ring the bell, my father opens the door with a big smile on his face.

"I am so happy that you decided to come and meet my family," my father said breaking the hug.

"Grandpa," the twins shouted at him and hug him tightly.

"My babies," dad said and hugs them tightly.

"Nate," dad said shaking his hand.

"Please, come inside, everyone is so excited to meet you," dad said opening the door widely to let us in. As we come inside everyone looks at us and stands from their couches to welcome us.

"Mia, meet my twin sister Amanda and his husband Rudra guys this is my daughter Mia, my son in law Nate and last but not the list my twin's grandchildren Olivia and Oliver," my father said to us while introducing us to each other.

"Hey," I said waving my hand nervously.

"Don't hey me, come here, I am a hugger person," Amanda said and hugged me tightly.

"It is so nice to finally meet you, I have heard so much about you guys from Alan, that I can hardly wait to meet you guys, aww look at them they are so cute," Amanda said breaking the hug and hug the twins.

"Mia meets Naina and Neha, you cousins and twin's daughter of Amanda and Rudra," dad said introducing us.  I stretch my hand forward to shake their hands but they hug me and kissed my cheeks while saying welcome to the family. I said a small thank you and move away from them.

"Now me my big brother Kabir and her wife Misty," dad said to me and introduces me to the others.

"Welcome to the family Mia," Misty said and engulf me in a motherly hug.

"Isn't she beautiful dear?" Misty asks uncle Kabir and he nodded his head and engulf me in a bear hug.

" Okay now, here it's a Broke Kabir's son, his wife Zoya, their son's Addin and grey, here is Addison Kabir younger daughter, and the last but not the least my father Richard," dad sais and introduce me to the other and they all hugged me. And I got emotional when my grandfather hugged me.

"Where is a grandma? She has not accepted me, has she?" I ask looking at my father.

"Your grandma is a little hard-headed, it will take some time for her to accept you but she will accept you just give her some time, and after that, she will come and talk to you, herself okay," grandpa ask smiling reassuringly at me and I nodded my head at her.

After that we take our seats and maids come with some drinks and snacks for us to eat. The twin's excuses themselves and go to their room to play with their toys.

"So Mia your father told us what happened with you and Nate, but why didn't you ask Nate for his help and trust some stranger for help," Misty ask her.

"Actually, at that time I was angry with Nate and tell him that I hate him in anger, and also I am in desperate need of help for money, there was a lot of things going on in my minds that I can't able to think anything clearly, so I did what I think is right at that time and it didn't come in my mind that he comes to me for taking revenge so," I said with a shrug.

"But your story is quite interesting don't you think? You can earn a lot of money if you publish it you know," Naina said to me while taking a sip of her drink.

"Your right Naina, just change the name of the characters you know," Neha said to me.

"I will think about it," I said nodding my head towards her.

"You know mother I don't think you should stop me from hanging out with the boys, I mean look at Mia, she gets pregnant even without having sex with anyone," Addison said to my aunt Misty.

"We have already talked about this matter, Addison," aunt Misty said glaring at her.

"This only means you should be cautious and even more careful about your surroundings Addison, " Uncle Rudra said to her.

"Can we talk about something else, I am getting a little bit comfortable with the current topic," I said adjusting myself on the couch and they chuckle at me.

"Sure, honey," Aunt Misty said smiling at me.

"What about you guys tell me about yourself, because I didn't know anything thinks about you guys, dad even didn't tell me anything about you guys until recently he tells me that he wants me to meet you all, " I said to them and they all story's about them. Aunt Misty tells me about her love story and others tell me some of their childhood memories and other's funny childhood memories while teasing each other until the maids come to inform us that the dinner is ready to serve.

I call the kids to come downstairs to have dinner and we walk to the dining table to have our first dinner together. The maids come with the food and serve it to us.

"Okay, May I have your attention please, I have news to share with you all," dad said clicking his glass with a spoon to get our attention and all of us look at him.

"My beautiful daughter Mia and Nate, finally decided to get married to each other," dad announced and everyone cheers and congratulate us.

"Not only that they are expecting and have decided to move in a new house," dad said looking and smiling at us and again everyone clapped and congratulate us.

"So have you searched for your new house?" Grandpa asks Nate.

"No, I am still finding it," Nate said taking a sip of his drink.

"Will you going to throw a housewarming party?" Naina asks me.

"Of course and all of you are invited to the party," I said smiling and looking at everyone.

"Will you invite us to your wedding?" Neha asks me.

"Of course and all of you are initiated to come, I will take your guys address and deliver the invitation card myself, and I would be honored if you girls accept to become my bridesmaid," I said smiling at them.

"Of course, we would love to," they said smiling at me.

"Have you decided on the date for the wedding?" dad ask me.

"Yes, it was on 20 January, after the exams of the twins are over," I said smiling and taking the sip of the drink.

"How about we all go for dress shopping together, that way we can get to know each other better," Aunty Amanda suggested.

"Good idea, mind if I call some of my friends with us?" I ask her.

"No, not at all," she said smiling at me. We had our dinner, after that we have dessert and we talk and discussed my wedding, sharing ideas about each other. It was late so we decided to leave, we said our goodbye to each other and promised to stay in touch and meet for dress shopping together.

Read the book to find out the murderer and to know what happens next.

Nate
It's sadly back to school after the week is over, but there are MANY things going around. As I ponder through the halls each passing period there's a bunch of murmurs. Not the first time... As Xavier, Mina, and I enter the cafeteria during lunchtime, the murmurs are twice as loud. Maybe it isn't even murmuring at this point. "So childish... Keep talking everyone, it's not like it'll get you somewhere in life. Whatever it is you're taking about is most likely not true. Go get a life." I say. I make my way to Brooklyn's table. She stands up and we share a kiss. One longer than the last. As we kiss, everyone gasps and takes out their phones. Not surprising. Almost nothing is at this point. It's like we're living in a book, or a movie. I take a seat and so does Xavier and Mina. "Did you find out what it is yet?" I ask Brooklyn. "People are saying that you got Mina pregnant... Nate..." She says. "Ok that is NOT fair! When I'm on my period and I just get bloated." Mina explains. "I hear my name as well, what do I have in this?" Xavier asks. "They think that you're dealing with Nate." Brooklyn answers. I've gotten through something close to this, but now I'm the cause of TWO problems that are extremely false. There wouldn't be a day in hell where I'd sleep with a girl like Mina. 

Brooklyn
This hurts... Having to look like another one of Nate Miller's hook up victims. But I know I'm not. I'm not even myself without Nate. These past few days I've been the closest I've ever been with Nate. I'd hate for that to slip away so easily. To the side, Xavier and Mina are fighting again, til Mina storms out.
We are all at Xavier and Mina's place trying to think of a plan. Mina is in her pajamas in her room, while the rest of us are at the kitchen area. Nate is sitting at the counter, Xaviers on the couch watching TV, and so Is Zayne. I don't know where the hell Alice is, but it's usual for her to skip. I'm pacing back in forth between the living room and kitchen panicking. "This is horrible. This is just— Just TERRIBLE." I stop for a second. "Ok, calm your heels down before I break your glasses. It's not the end of all of us." Xavier points out. "There's no way to fix this. No LOGICAL way at least." I say. "Well, There HAS to be." Nate says. "Well, Brookie does have a point there." Xavier says. "There is a way if you could maybe use your mind, Brooklyn. There's a reason why people call you the brains." Nate says. "Why can you just be on my side here?" I ask, walking towards Nate. "Brooklyn is right, Nate. We can't tell people it's not true cause it's not like they'll even listen." Xavier reasons, starting to switch channels.  "See, why can't you stand with me like Xavier?" I ask, sitting on the seat next to Nate. "Ok, well Brooklyn. Why don't you just go date Xavier then huh?" Nate says. "Brooklyn, What has gotten into you? Let's just go and calm Mina down, ok?" Nate quickly adds. "Well why don't YOU date Mina? Always in and out of relationships, right?" My tone seems way harsh than I intended. "If that's the game you wanna play, I don't wanna be in it." Nate gets up and goes into Mina's room. "That was a scene." Zayne says, shoving his face with popcorn. "At this point I don't even know if we're together..." I confess, laying my head down on the counter. "So what if you aren't?" Zayne adds. "I like Nate. He makes me feel different in many ways when I'm with him." I say, feeling guilty of the words that had to come out of my mouth talking to Nate. I wish I could just find the source to what made me say it... Wait, a source! "Guys. I have an idea." I say, rushing over to the boys on the couch. "Well go tell Nate and Mina!" Zayne says, he seems very exited.
I walk into Mina's room and... They don't notice me come in. It looks like he's pulling away from a kiss. "God, I'm so glad you're here for me, Nate." Mina says. "I always am, you're more than a friend to me.. You're like my-" 
"Oh my god Nate. In and out of relationships, like always." I say and storm out of the room. "Brooklyn, wait!" He chases after me. I go to the living room as Xavier gets up and goes in Mina's room. "I should have known better than to ever be with you." I cry. 
"Brooklyn, you're overreacting." He says in a harsh tone.
"Well then why did you replace me so quickly, huh?" I ask, crossing my arms in denial.
"What? Brook, I would never replace you!" He puts both his hands on my shoulders. 
"Well then why did you?? I saw you with Mina in her room..." I confess. I'm just so heartbroken right now...
"Ugh, Brooklyn, Mina and I were just talking. Before YOU interrupted, I was gonna tell her she was like a sister to me. I was only trying to help. Now trust me when I say this. It's your choice to believe me, or not." He reasons. I love him... So I make my decision.
"I do. Only because I really like you Nate. And my biggest fear is losing you." I say. He pulls me in for a hug. As we hug, he wraps his arms around my waist. 

Xavier
"Care to tell me anything?" I ask. "What do you think, Xavier?" She says. Her face being solemn as she gives me a pretty cold stare. It's funny seeing her mad sometimes. It's almost cute. "Look, if you could maybe listen to Brook instead of stealing her boyfriend, we can get you out of this," I say. "Speaking by the silence, I'm pretty positive that Nate killed Brooklyn, Brooklyn dumped his ass, or they made up." I get up from sitting on the bed with her, and put a hand out. "Come on." I say. She takes my hand and I get her out of bed. We come out to Nate and Brooklyn hugging. A good sign. "So you all are cool, great. Now what's the plan big brain?" I ask Brooklyn.
"We all need to do some digging. We find the source to this all and maybe dig deep down on them by some relations with other people knowing people and so on. When we find dirt, we use it against them to forfeit." Brooklyn explains, standing in front of Nate, his arms around her waist. I'll say, I'm not against this couple. 

Mina
We all go to the library and do some digging. I walk in on Nate and Brooklyn making out, great way to third wheel as soon as you get in. "Oh my god, Really? We're you two just-"
"Yes, we were, now let's just um, wait for Xavier." Brooklyn clears her throat. I hear a door open behind me and it's Xavier. We all take our seats and start. "Wait, who else would have known about Nate and Mina from vacation..?" Brooklyn asks. "There's Zayne and Alice, who never showed up." Xavier points out. "And maybe she put that all up because she always sees me with Zayne." I say. "Well, we have our culprit. But how does she know about Me and Nina in the room?" Nate asks. "I called Alice," Brooklyn confesses. Great. "I told her about you and Mina, but I never knew she'd go this far with it... I'm so sorry, to the both of you." She apologizes. "Cases solved, but what now?" Xavier asks. 
"We hunt her down." Brooklyn simply says, leaning a bit more toward.

INT. - 27 CLUB - AFTERNOON

The 27 Club's back door was open, the rattle of beer bottles letting Gerri know she wasn't alone as she climbed the old, metal stairs and entered the dark hallway. Her eyes quickly adjusted from the bright, California morning to the gloom of the back entry, a red exit sign flickering overhead. The long, unhappy fluorescent did its job with halfhearted willingness.
Someone turned and yelped, making Gerri jump, hand falling on the butt of her gun. When the tall, skinny guy with the hipster beard and geek boy t-shirt stopped, panting out of fear, she flashed her badge.
"You scared the crap out of me." He shifted to the side from where he'd been stacking empty beer bottles out of the way. "Detective." An add-on, a bit more respectful.
"Sorry about that," she said, grinning. Was it wrong that tickled her funny bone? "Detective Geraldine Meyers."
"Nate Witten." He rubbed both palms on the legs of his jeans before shaking her hand. "Is Juliette okay?"
"You know Ms. St. Clare?" Great opener.
He shrugged, looked away, posture telling her far more than his attitude. He seemed nervous, hands in his back pockets, shoulders tilted to the right, away from Gerri.
"I work here, hear her sing every weekend," he said, finally meeting her eyes. Real concern shone in his. "I tried to get her to wait last night. To give her a ride home, because of the other two deaths, you know?" His posture shifted again, from nervous to jerking, angry. "She's so stubborn."
Gerri bought that. "You work the bar?"
He nodded, but didn't get to say anything else. The door at the far end of the hall opened and a woman marched through. Literally marched, arms swinging, eyes locked on Gerri, a man behind her looking harried and in a hurry to keep up.
Nate sighed before going back to stacking bottles while the woman came to a stomping halt in front of the detective.
"Vayle Atherton." Her grip firmed up around Gerri's hand a bit more than necessary, her pale eyes empty, and flat.
"Detective Meyers, SCPD."
Vayle dropped her arm with a thud at her side, expensive suit doing little to hide the lumpy oddness of her body shape, makeup barely masking her plain features. Mousy hair threaded through with an attempt at highlights finished off the picture.
Trying too hard, Gerri thought as the woman went on.
"You're investigating the deaths of patrons of this establishment?" How did she know Gerri was here? The detective shrugged.
"My job, Ms. Atherton," she said.
"Of course." Vayle spun, snapped her fingers. "As it is mine to know when the SSPD might be investigating my establishment." The man behind her handed her a sheaf of papers which the woman presented to Gerri. "Lists of names of all employees, both former and present as well as musicians licensed to perform here and any patrons we've had issues with going back two years."
Wow. Efficient. And more than a little anal. "Thank you," Gerri said, not embarrassed to admit she was floored by the woman's attitude. Wasn't often the SSPD were just handed what they needed without asking.
"I'm an honest businesswoman," Vayle said. "If there's anything I can do to help you clear up this... misunderstanding, just ask." So, this was about appearances. Not that Gerri was very surprised. When Vayle turned and looked Nate up and down, Gerri almost laughed.
"Mr. Pittle," she said.
"Witten," he corrected her, though under his breath and softly enough Gerri wasn't sure the woman heard.
"You will offer any and all assistance to the detective." Vayle nodded sharply to Gerri who held out her card. "Any and all."
"Have you owned the bar for long, Ms. Atherton?"
"Exactly two years," she said. Man, did she go to military school as a kid or something? "This is only one of many business ventures. And I honestly bought it to appease my husband." The man behind her appeared long-suffering. He had to be the victim she spoke of. Gerri couldn't imagine being lock stepped with this creature for more than five minutes, let alone marry her. "If there's nothing else?"
"Unless you can tell me who killed those men, you're free to go." Gerri meant it as a joke. But when Vayle turned to leave, her husband's sad head shake was followed with words.
"Poor Juliette," he said. "She's a lovely singer, isn't she?"
Gerri let them leave for the moment. But, she'd be peeking behind the iron curtain Vayle Atherton had around her, she surely would.
Nate watched them go with a look of disgust on his face. "You have no idea what it's like to work for her."
Gerri laughed, thinking about Captain King and his massive temper. "I think I can guess." She tucked the pages Vayle Atherton gave her under one arm before flipping open her notebook, red light from the exit sign shining on the silver pen. It always made her think of her mother. Damn, she really had to call.
"You said Juliette sings every weekend?"
Nate set a box of empties on a towering, tottering stack before answering. "Thursday, one show, 9PM. Friday, two shows, 9 and 12. And Saturday two shows, same times."
"You seem to know her schedule really well." Gerri was just fishing. He was a bartender, after all.
Nate's shoulders twitched in response. Odd. There it was again. Not a reaction to her questions, but a reaction of physical pain. Was he injured? When he met Gerri's eyes, they were flat and dull. "This place pays minimum plus cuts our tips," he said. "Juliette means big money. She always packs the house. We fight over her nights. Even with a 50% tip cut, we take home a load when she's here."
Sounded like a classy place to work. Her eyes fell to his wrist where a small scar stood out, white and circular, on his wrist. "Hurt yourself recently, Mr. Witten?"
He shrugged. "I was in Rio with some buddies, watching soccer. You know how it is."
She didn't, but his discomfort wasn't relevant. The men hadn't been bludgeoned to death.
"Anyone in particular show any special interest in Ms. St. Clare?" It was a long shot, but if Juliette had someone who was stalking her, and it turned out the men had died of poisoning or something similar, it might give Gerri a place to look.
"Do they." Nate's shoulders tightened further, though this time in visible anger. "Don't tell his wife, but one of them just walked out of here." He wiped at a thin sheen of sweat on his upper lip, the thin hair there wet from it. "Terrence Atherton has the hots for Juliette, has since she started singing here. Caught him leaving flowers and love letters for her a couple of times. Steamy stuff." What kind of guy read another man's love letters? "If the boss found out, he'd be a dead man. But I guess he was a big fan of hers back in the day she was still doing the fame and fortune thing."
"How did Juliette react to the attention?" She'd be asking her personally, but an outside perspective was always a good thing.
Nate shrugged. "She was nice. Boss's husband and all. But nothing ever happened." He seemed smug about that.
So, Terrance Atherton was semi-stalking Juliette St. Clare. Not a reason to accuse the man of murder, but one more poke and prod to her instincts. She'd be looking into the Athertons, you betcha.
Nate pointed at the papers tucked under Gerri's arm. "And another dude, every damned night she's here, all five shows. Won't leave his table in the corner, won't buy more than the minimum and never tips. Or drinks." He rolled his eyes at Gerri. "Creepy."
Gerri put her notebook away and retrieved the papers from her armpit, handing them to Nate. He scanned the first page, pointed out a name, holding it to her. The small scar bounced over his pulse as he did.
"That's him," he said. "Gary Bunch."
Gerri took the pages back, tucked them into her jacket. "Thank you for your cooperation," she said, handing him her card. "If you think of anything that might help, please give me a call." It was standard protocol, but felt useless to say. Aside from questioning this Bunch fellow, there didn't seem to be much she could investigate without the results Ray and Robert worked on.
Until she knew if this was murder, banshee power or just a freak of coincidence, Gerri had to keep trying.

......


"I know who you are, where you come from, and what you can do, you are very
much like your parents." 


"You knew my parents?'' The girl asked 
the man to which he replied, "yes, I knew them very well, I once had a promise with your father, but now I want you to promise me something. I know that you and my son are close, I've seen the way he treats you, you are very important to him" The man told the girl, "so I must ask you, please keep my son safe, protect him, and never leave his side."

"I promise. I do care about him, and I will stay with him till the day he asks me to leave." The girl answered truthfully, the man then smiled and said, "that is all I can hope for."


......

Have you ever heard the saying: "Be careful what you wish for?" Yeah, that's me right now. Because I somehow thought it would be easy to live in a world filled with monsters and superpowers.

 Suddenly waking up in the body of a random Beacon student was supposed to be a dream come true. Sadly, reality is anything but kind, and if the academy's entrance exam doesn't kill me, Salem's attack on the kingdom will. But maybe this is a chance for me do to something great. A chance to save Beacon, Pyrrha, and so much more. My name is Nath-er, I mean Aero Cairn. And this is my story.

Nathan curled in a blanket, shivering, aching, something growling in his throat. When he came out of the flaring blackness, the floral embroidered edge of a white pillow tickled his cheek.

"Hungry?" A familiar voice screwed inside his brain.

Sarah, pale and lifeless, slouched in a wheelchair. White curtains flapped in two shiny frames behind her. She reached for his forehead and mumbled something that sounded foreign or perhaps too fainted to be comprehended.

Nathan wrinkled up, moaning in his own voice. He had been stripped and wrapped in reddish gauze cloths. A flash of what happened on the rooftop of Columbus Philips College flickered in his mind, so he frantically pulled the gauze to inspect what he dreaded to see.

Gladly, he was just himself. So, it was definitely a dream.

"What happened?" Nathan finally spoke. "Why are you here?"

Nathan remembered the room where he slept five nights ago. The Hargars certainly tidied up their home. It was now polished like most affluent Philips Lake's households.

"You turned," Sarah said and gave him a glass of water.

Turn. Odelia's command vibrated in his skull.

"Odelia..." Nathan whimpered, ignoring the water and scampering out of the blanket. "Where is she?" He killed her.

"Nate." Sarah placed her hands on his sickening mummified arm. "Do you remember what happened?" She spun the gauze out of his unmarred skin underneath the muck of blood and black fur.

Nathan breathed out. He remembered more than that.

~*~

In a blue shirt and black pants, Nathan strutted through the rosy breeze in the Hargars' backyard. Earlier, while putting himself together and savoring a hearty breakfast, he struggled to trust his own mind.

Through the gaps of flaring darkness, Odelia's big blueberry-colored eyes sparkled. Nathan gazed at his shivering hand that had slashed through her elegant face, but she was right there, pristine and untouched as the day he first saw her, at the table having tea with his sister.

He wondered how he ended up here— to be impractical about woman, stunned by supernatural conspiracies, and terrified of himself. He eased onto a chair, and Sarah poured him a cup of tea. Odelia was trimming and de-thorning roses. She barely acknowledged him. Rowan was in the garden, pruning the colorful blooms.

Sarah said, "I never said anything before because I thought you didn't have to be like me." She revealed the gnarly bumps and bruises on her arms. "I didn't have cancer, Nate. But when we turn so often, the scars show." Every broken bone always mended. Every bruise and pain evaporated while awake. But in the end, her strength faded, and the curse caught up with her. "My time is running out, so you will have to follow the legacy."

"What legacy?" Nathan asked.

"Protecting this town," Sarah answered.

"That's kind of my job already," Nathan said.

Rowan scoffed and dropped a bunch of freshly cut red roses in front of Odelia.

"What's so funny? And seriously, what the hell are you people? You did this to me." Nathan glowered at Odelia, her words twisting his muscles.

You are my loyal worrier. You are reborn to serve me. Stay with me, Nathan. You're doing as I say.

"We're your ally." Odelia seemed to pick a different approach to deal with him. "You need our help to protect this town."

"I'm not trying to offend you or anything." Nathan snorted. "But crazy shits happen when you're around."

"Nate, someone is here to start an apocalypse," Sarah said. "Odelia and Rowan are the good guys. They're trying to catch the monster." She wrapped her trembling body with her frigid arms.

"I've seen a monster, all right?" Nathan scowled at Rowan, who lowered himself on another chair. He remembered Rowan's other face.

"Venatore." Sarah placed a journal on the table, gingerly flipping through the delicate paper with her skeletal fingers. "This creature killed Ivy Rosellewood."

"Eat," Rowan countered.

Nathan didn't understand the strange texts on the paper, but a sketch on one page gave him a chill. The drawing depicted a pile of grotesque muscles with sharp claws— a monster with flaming teeth. Its clad back boasted ruffle of a blade-like spine.

"You're believing all this?" Nathan snatched the journal from Sarah and turned the pages. He couldn't grasp anything accept the picture of the monster.

"That's Proto-Hellenic." Rowan narrowed his eyes. "And that one is Koine."

Nathan frowned.

"At least, he knows Latin, right?" Rowan huffed. He had mastered the art of talking to Nathan indirectly.

"There are others like this hibernating under this town." Sarah pointed at the picture. "A dangerous man is trying to find them. These creatures shouldn't come out into the world."

"This is crazy." Nathan let go of the journal and leaned back.

"Stupid." Rowan rose to his feet. "I don't know why you think they can do anything," he said to Odelia. "One is dying, and another is a moron."

"Rowan!" Odelia kept the scissor on the table and took a deep breath. "Look, Mr. Willpert. Vanatores are malicious creatures. With just one of them on the loose, a lot of people are going to die. We need to work together."

"Together?" Nathan shook his head. "Or for you."

'Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting it to hurt the other person' 

That is one of the best quotes I had ever read and meant I tried my best to forgive and forget and go through life with happy goggles on holding no grudges. 
Of course I hadn't met Blade Night then.. 

Right now, sitting in the car whilst watching the first property, a garage in Old Town, ensuring no one was inside before we went to have a look, I might as well have been drinking bottles of poison! 

Blade was being highly obnoxious and it was driving me mad and I was hating on him big time! Firstly, to wake me up on arrival, even though I was bloody faking sleep, the asshole stroked my cheek in a really loving manner and since then he has taken any opportunity to touch me! 

I really didn't want to have another argument with him in this sort of enclosed space and when we were on a mission but I swear if his hand came anywhere near me again I was going to break it! 

When we had first arrived, Blade had attempted to make small talk, however I had given him the cold shoulder and he had finally given up. I was starting to worry I was acting like a bunny boiler** I mean we had only shared a few touches and kisses and we had kind of apologised to each other and called a ceasefire in his office so I don't know why I was always so mad at him.. maybe it's unresolved sexual frustration or maybe my Aunt was due.. 

Finally, after a super careful and necessary -insert eye rolls here - fifteen minutes of staring at an empty garage, Blade deemed it safe for us to go over and have a look inside. Lane and I had broached the subject of gaining access but Nate and Blade had smirked and told us not to worry so I guess they both took a masterclass in breaking and entering.. 

The garage in question was one of many, there being several rows of them and they were back to back which meant there was only the one entrance and exit. It's lucky this was a fairly industrial, quiet part of town as I doubted an old garage door like this looked to be would open quietly. 

Blade took a chisel and hammer out of his inner coat pocket.. like a master criminal.. then put the chisel against the small keyhole in the handle and bashed it with the hammer! It worked like a charm and we were able to open the door but I was so disappointed he hadn't picked the lock like I was expecting! 

"We don't have time for you to make any of your sassy comments Tash, just get in there and start looking." 

Muttering under my breath I clicked on my torch and got ready to search.. nothing. The garage was completely empty. Not a shelf, not a drawer, nothing! Blade crouched down, seeming to study the floor intently so I crouched next to him trying to figure out what he was looking at. 

"What've you seen?" 
"Nothing, I'm just checking to see if there's a secret door in the floor." 

I felt bad. I did. I just couldn't help it. I laughed like a loon! Blade sent me a dark look then dragged me back to the car, but I'm pretty sure his ears were red! 

* * * 

The next two properties we viewed were both devoid of any type of clue or anything really and, feeling a bit dejected, we met up with Lane and Nate - who had also been unsuccessful - for some food. 

As the prez was paying, Lane and I had ordered steak and as the almost buttery meat melted on my tongue I forgot there were other people present. I devoured that steak in about 3.5 seconds and they may have been the best 3.5 seconds of my life. Licking my lips repeatedly for any remnants of flavour I seriously considered licking my plate when I glanced up and realised my table mates were all staring at me. 

"I'm so sorry you had to see that!" 
"Waiter, bring her another three steaks" 

Nate and Lane snickered at Blades hollered words but I was too caught in his heated gaze to find it funny. Leaning in, his hot breath against my ear causing the usual shivers, he whispered low and hot. 

"I've only heard those noises come out of your mouth when my hands are on you." 

Pushing back from the table I hastily went to the washroom and started splashing cold water on my face and neck to cool my libido down. No man should be that hot! Hearing the door, I lifted my gaze to the mirror expecting Laney but it was Night. 

"This is the WOMENS wash room.." 

Smirking, Blade stalked towards me, his movements sensual and graceful. 

"Tasha I need to make you come. I need to be inside you, finally." 

He reached for me and I did the only thing a strong, mature woman could do.. I ran! I ran and I didn't stop until I was sitting in a taxi on my way back to my mothers place, safe from Blade and his overwhelming sex appeal.

His lips were on mine, burning all other thoughts out of my head and interrupting me mid-rant. I tried to be strong and ignore the fever his kiss had ignited in my body but as I opened my mouth  to take a gasping breath his tongue slid in to duel with my own and I was lost. I slid my hands around his neck and tangled my fingers into his thick, silky hair tugging on the strands to pull myself closer to his body

[RAYN]

I started liking Glee during summer break. We were together all the time and, I don't know. It just sort of happened. It wasn't hard for me to figure that out. I wasn't the type who was in denial of their feelings. I haven't told anyone yet. If I did tell somebody, I wanted that somebody to be Glee herself. Although, I've been getting this feeling that Canna figured it out. From time to time she would send me meaningful looks. We could never really hide anything from her. 

 I waited for Sky to finish stuffing his locker with his books. His drumsticks fell from his pack while he was at it. Midway, he started muttering curses because he couldn't close his locker without trash falling out. 

 "Dude, just clean your locker."

 "You don't think I get tired of all this garbage?"

 I made a face. "Then why don't you clean it?"

 "I'm actually waiting for Canna to get really pissed with the mess. She's going to start nagging me into cleaning it. Eventually, she won't take it and she'll just do it herself. Cool right?" A mischievous smile crept to his lips.

 He slammed his locker shut before any more paper fell. 

 "C'mon." Sky strapped his pack on his shoulder and walked ahead. I followed. 
 The cafeteria was packed as always. Even with some students eating out in the field, staying in the library, or even hiding in the bathroom, it was still difficult to find a decent table. That's why having the captain of the cheerleading squad as a friend really came in handy. 

 Sky and I spotted Canna's blonde head in our usual table. Beside her was Nate's dirty blond. They were looking at something through the glass window not far from our table. 

 "Where's Glee?" Sky asked.

 We settled in front of them. Beside Sky was an empty chair with only Glee's stuff. In front of it was a tray of untouched food.

 None of them responded. Canna just nodded her head towards the window. Sky and I looked too.

 "Holy hell. Is that…?" Sky couldn't seem to make out the right name. 

 Dylan Knight.

 "Dylan Knight!" Canna squealed, a bit of excitement in her voice.

 He and Glee were facing each other, talking. 

 "What's up with him? Is he moving back or something?" Sky asked.

 "I have no idea. He just came up our table to say 'Hi'. He said he was visiting the school. Then he said he wanted to talk to Glee." Canna replied not taking her eyes off them, as if she was trying to figure out their conversation by reading their lips. 

 "I don't think he is though. One of my teammates know him well. He'll only be in town for a while." Nate said.

 We all stared at them like something big was going to happen. 

 Dylan smiled, so did Glee. She nodded then gave him a hug. Dylan turned to our direction to wave at Canna and Nate then to me and Sky. We awkwardly wave back. He walked away from Glee.
 We looked away from the window and faced each other. 

 "Well, I'm getting food. Rayn?" Sky stood up.

 "Yeah, me too."

 We headed towards the line. 

 I looked back at our table. Glee was already there. She ate her pie while Canna interrogated her.
 "Hey, what do you think Dylan Knight wants?" I asked Sky.

 "Why are you asking me? Glee's right there. Just ask her." 

 We walked back to our table after getting burgers and sodas.
 
 "... staying for 2 weeks. His mom's undergoing a major surgery so he's visiting."

 "What about school?" Canna asked Glee.

 She paused to chew her pie. "I don't really know. They probably gave him permission. His mom's sick anyway." She replied after swallowing. 

 "What did he talk to you about?" Sky asked the question I've been wanting to. I just thought it would be impolite because he was in town for his mother. And here I was concerned about other stuff. 

 "Uhm…" She hesitated. "He wanted to hang out while he's in town." 

 "Ooh, what'd you say?" Sky wore a funny expression.

 "Well, I said, 'Sure.' The guy's been away for a long time. It would do him good to remember the town." 

 "Yeah, but why you? Doesn't he have friends in town? He was pretty famous in freshman year." I said casually. 

 "I don't know. Maybe he wants closure. We didn't have a proper goodbye last time. I had dinner at his place and left like he wasn't leaving town." 

 I bit my burger. Canna's eyes shot to Glee.

 "Did you say he's leaving in 2 weeks?" 

 "Yup."

 Canna exaggerated a gasp and clapped her hands like a child.

 "Invite him to the dance."

 We all stared at her in shock. 

 About that. Everything about that Maya drama was all good. I made sure Glee understood that Maya lied about us going together. Last Saturday night, when we were at my backyard, Glee apologized for not hearing me out. I said it was okay. We spent the rest of the night talking about what we've missed out on each other for the past two days. I told her the whole Spades-performing-in-a-Rebekah Roque-concert. She jumped and hugged me very tight in excitement and stayed there for a while. I embarrassingly wondered if she would hug my bandmates the same way. Oh, Canna stopped being extra mean to me too. Thank god. 

 We, however, never talked about the dance. Whether, we were still going in threes with Sky. It's not supposed to be a big deal because we'll end up hanging out with each other anyway. But now that Canna's suggesting other things, I wanted to clear things up. 

 "What?" Canna asked. "You've been enduring going to school dances with these doofuses," She gestured to me and Sky. 

 "Hey." We both said in defense.

 "It's time you go with someone else. It's not like someone's going to have the courage to ask you anyway."

 To this time, it amazed me how Canna could throw me meaningful looks with nobody noticing. Like, for real. It was magic. It would only be for a second but it felt like an hour, like staring right through my soul and reading my mind. And for some reason, I could decipher what her eyes meant. 
 "What do you say, man? You up for singles night?" Sky asked me.

 "Yeah, why not?" 

 Ha! There it is again! Canna did it again! She glanced at me for a second but I knew she was actually saying, 'I knew you were going to chicken out.'

 "Err, I'll think about it." Glee said. 

 We ate our lunch while Sky talked about the biggest performance Spades was going to have. Canna shrieked, and I mean very loudly that everyone in the cafeteria turned to our table, when she heard the news. She stood up and went to our side. She hugged both me and Sky and kissed us on the cheek. She was jumping up and down while she squeezed us in her arms. Glee leaned closer to Sky to give him a hug too. 

 "Congrats, you guys." Nate said, giving us high-fives. 

 "Thanks." We replied. 

 Apart from the free tickets, we were giving the girls, they were really thrilled to watch us play for the first time in a very big crowd. Yup, Dale gave us free tickets with backstage passes. I already gave my parents' and Riley's tickets, so did Sky. And of course, we wouldn't let our best friends miss our big night. 

  
 My head was 5 seconds away from banging my desk. I couldn't take it anymore. This class was unbearable. It was a good thing the bell rang, signaling the end of today's classes. My half-closed eyes widened. I blinked a few times to wake myself up. Students were already packing their stuff, ready to go to go home, to part-time jobs, or after school activities. 

 I got up from my seat and stretched my arms. I grab my pack and went for the Music Room. The lights were still out when I got there. The guys were still probably on their way.
 
 I started to set up the mini sound system we had. Some of the stuff in here are our own. This room was basically ours. Students rarely come in here. Maybe for classes and for self-practice. But after classes, Spades owned this room.

 I left the drum set untouched. It wasn't Sky's but he was sensitive when it came to setting up the set he was playing. He wanted to do it himself. For sometime when we were younger, I thought he was secretly doing some voodoo that made him play better. 

 I didn't bring my guitar today so I plugged in one of the school's guitar. It was obviously untouched for a while because the strings were very loose. I had to tune it. 

 Kyle came in while I was in the middle of tuning. He adjusted the volume of the microphone and tested it. Not long after, Sky and Scythe arrived. When we were all in position, Kyle spoke.
 "Okay. So far, we're doing great with the other songs. The only problem is Rayn's song." He turned to me. "I honestly still think you should be the one singing it." 

 "You heard what Dale said. It sounded better with you singing." 

 "Of course, it did." He smiled proudly. I raised an eyebrow at him. He grew serious again. 

 "Anyway. Yes, it does sounds better. But it doesn't feel right. It's a good song. It would be such a shame if we didn't play it right."

 "So, what's the plan?" Scythe asked. 

 Ever since we started the band, we never questioned Kyle's decisions. He has like good intuition. It did us really good.

 "I say we practice with both of us singing, but more with Rayn." 

 "Okay, but I still need a guitar." I said, trying to hide how nervous I was. 

 "Then we work it out."

 "Alright, let's do this!" Sky yelled. He banged his sticks together signaling a start. We played the intro of my song with Kyle singing first. 

 After two more rounds, we switched. He stood on my position and I was on his. I grab the best acoustic guitar in the Music Room and plugged it in the amplifier. 

 "Wait, I just thought of something." Kyle suddenly said. "I think we should change the arrangement a bit with Rayn singing."

 The rest of us looked at each other. We all thought the same thing. 

 "Do you think we'll still have time?" I asked.

 "Yeah, we're barely getting the song right." Sky added. 

 "We can do it. Just, trust me okay? When have I ever made a decision that got us in bad place?"

 He was right. Again, we looked at each other.

 "What are you thinking?" Scythe sighed.

 Kyle smiled.

 "Okay. I was thinking, since Rayn's holding an acoustic guitar, it should stand out. Picture this; we start simple. Mellow. The acoustic guitar starts playing. And I'm talking just a standard strumming pattern. Scythe and I come in, focusing on the rhythm." 

 Kyle started snapping his fingers, letting us picture his idea.

 "Sky playing softly. A bit louder in the chorus. And by the second verse, we're full blown. I'm still working on the second verse bit. But that's the gist. What do you think?"

 We all loved the idea. 

 Without question, we started figuring out Kyle's plan. In just half an hour, we had the intro. It sounded amazing. This version of the song was going to be great and we all knew it. The only problem was, how do we get Dale on board with us playing this one? 

 Around 6 p.m., we packed up. We walked to the parking lot together and got into our own cars.
 
 "You getting Glee?" Sky asked.

 "Yeah." 

 "Where are they?" 

 "Milky Wei's." 

 We reached our cars, parked side by side.

 "Alright. See you, man." He tapped my shoulder.

 "See you."

 I got in my car and started the engine.

 Earlier, I got a text from Glee. She asked what time we were getting off school. I told her we were already packing up. She asked me to pick her up at Milky Wei's. I was headed there right now. 

 She was waiting outside, by the door when I got there. She spotted my car and rushed in the passenger's seat. I looked around the parking lot for Canna's car but it wasn't there.

 "Were you here alone?" I asked.

 She adjusted her seatbelt. 

 "Nope. I was with Dylan."

 "Dylan Knight?" I asked.

 "Yup."

 "Doesn't he have a car to take you home at least?" 

 "He does. There was an emergency at home so, I insisted he go ahead."

 "Oh."

 I drove away from Milky Wei's.

 "So, how was your date?" I asked reluctantly. 

 She laughed. "It wasn't a date. We just hung out as friends." 

 "Then how was your 'hang out as friends?"

 She paused to think. "It was great actually. It's like he never moved away. He talked about his new school. What life was like in the city. How difficult it was to find time and visit town. You know, life stuff."

 I nod. 

 "Come on. You know you want to ask. Canna did right after I texted her that we were headed home." She teased. 

 I chuckled. Of course, I wanted to ask. Anyone would. 

 "Did you guys have a chance to talk about… you know." I didn't know how to put it.

 "Our non-existent break up?" She finished. 

 "Yeah." I smiled. 

 It was a non-existent break up because they never had an official label. I just remember that they both really liked each other. They went out on dates. But that was it. 

 "Yes, we did. It's funny, actually."

 "Why is that?" I glanced at her quickly then back at the road.

 "Uhm… We were just so casual about it. It was sort of weird but nice in the same way. We didn't cling onto it. I apologized for not giving him a proper goodbye, he did too. That was pretty much it. We both let it go and talked about other stuff. In short, we're good. Anyway, how's practice?" 

 I told her all about Kyle's idea. 

 I was buried deep in our conversation, I was tempted to take about fifty turns around the neighborhood so it didn't have to end.

Glee's the photographer.
Canna's the cheerleader.
Rayn's the guitarist.
Sky's the drummer.

Find out how these four solid friends go through friendship, romance, dreams, passion, and of course, high school.

"Nate... Cyra... The boss has a mission for the both of you. The picture you can see above is what you call a moonstone. Its a rare stone but most abundant in Mt. Moon from the Kanto region, and in Cave Moon from this region. The boss and her queen wants you to go to cave moon and acquire the moonstone. Once you have it, bring the moonstone back to headquarters. The boss is getting fed up from all your mission failures in lake Wisdom and Emerald Forest.  Do not fail operation moon!" 


"We will acquire the moonstone for the boss and her queen! We won't fail, we promise." Nate promised.

"Leave it to the two of us, we won't let team Chaos down!" Cyra added as the big screen of the team Chaos monitor closed.

Meanwhile, I, Zhery, Glade, and Camellia are headed to Norva City! The site of my first gym badge. But before we reach Norva city, it's off to Cave Moon! One of the biggest cave in the region!


"There it is I can see it! Its Cave moon!" Camellia, my best friend who recently joined our adventure beamed in excitement.

"Why are you so excited to go to Cave Moon?" Glade queried.


"Its the only place in this region to find the moonstone!" Camellia explained.

"So now I get it! That's why its called Cave Moon!" Zhery realized.


"Hey Irys, what's a moonstone?" I puzzled.


"The moonstone is a type of evolutionary stone which is said to come from a fallen meteorite in the early days of the Pokemon world." Irys the Pokedex explained.


"Wait, Pokemon can evolve through items?" I queried.

"Yeah! Such as the cute and cuddly Jigglypuffs and Clefairies!" Camellia explained.

We walked towards the inner cave, it was getting darker as we go deeper into the cave.

"D... Doesn't anyone have a flashlight?" Zhery shivered in fear.

"Don't tell me your scared of the dark Zhery..." Glade sighed.


"S... Scared of the dark? Impossible! I'm a master when it comes to dark places!" Zhery objected as she shivered in fear.

"BOO!" Camellia held Zhery's shoulder and surprised her.

"AHHHHH!!!..... Camellia! That isn't funny you know!" Zhery said with annoyance.


"Hee hee hee, I was just testing if what your saying is true..." Camellia teased.


"Guess the teaser got teased!" I joked.


"Hmmm, Ah I know!" Camellia figured out something to produce light, since all our Pokemon don't know the move flash. She picked a long twig from her bag and sent out Fennekin.


"Fennekin! use ember at the edge of the twig please!" Camellia begged.

Fen!*Fennekin smiles at Camellia and followed her plead.*


"Woah! Amazing work Camellia, now we have light!" I complimented as her cheek blushed pale."Thanks Kalem" "Alright! We can now continue walking now that we have light." Glade instructed as we walked deeper to the cave.

We came a cause a double path. We were confused as we don't know what path to take!

"This is easy! All we have to do is to take the left path." Zhery boasted.

"How did you know Zhery?" Camellia puzzle.

"Simple... Right means wrong and left means right!" Zhery boasted.

"Umm... You know that doesn't always work right?" Camellia sighed.

"Well, the last time I listened to Zhery, she was wrong," I added.

"Before it was only a hunch, now I'm very sure that left means correct!" Zhery boasted.

We followed the left path like what Zhery said only to meet a dead end and a group of Geodudes.

"Irys, please scan the Geodudes!" I pleaded.

"Alright Kalem, 

[Geodude! The rock Pokemon! A rock, and ground type! When GEODUDE sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this POKéMON rolls downhill in search of food.]

The Geodude began to chase and attacked us. 

"Phew! That was a close one!" I said as I gasped for air.

"I thought you knew the way Zhery!" Camellia sighed.

"Good thing those Geodudes weren't able to make it!" Glade added.

"Sorry guys... I guess everybody makes a wrong turn once in a while." Zhery quoted.

We took the right path but was met with three more paths. 

"How can we figure out which one is the right one?" Camellia puzzled.

"Hmmm? I know! Riolu, sniff the entrance of each path, then tell us which one has no Pokemon turf on it!" I suggested.

"Alright Kalem!" Riolu agreed with a smile!

Riolu sniffed the first path... the second path... then the third path...

"Kalem, The first path and the third path has Pokemons lurking there! However path number two has no Pokemon at all!" Riolu reported.

"Thanks Riolu!" I greeted.

"Wait, Kalem can understand his Riolu?"

"And his Zorua! Kalem has a Poketrans thingy which translates the words of a Pokemon!" Zhery explained.

"Its called Poketrans gem Zhery!" Glade corrected.

We took the second path, just like what Riolu said. It was the correct path which lead to more puzzling paths.

"Now there are four paths!?" I exclaimed.

"There is a twenty-five % chance path one is correct, another twenty-five percent for path two, twenty-five percent for path three, and twenty-five percent for path four to be correct!" Irys, the Pokedex estimated.

"Thanks Irys, but that doesn't help," Zhery said with an expressionless face

"Alright Riolu, sniff them again!" I beamed.

Riolu sniffed all the four paths, and reported it to me.

"Kalem, the first path has a swarm of Zubats. The second path has a swarm of Woobats. The third path has a swarm of Geodudes again. But the fourth path has no Pokemon!"

We followed what Riolu said and took the fourth path. Wherein we reached a large place in the cave. In the center, there was a large glimmering stone.

"This... This must be the location of the moonstone!" Camellia burst in excitement.

"Woah, never thought that moonstones can be that big?" Glade was surprised.

"I got to collect some of them!" Camellia said with determination.

"Collecting moonstones? but why?" I puzzled.

"If I want to become a Pokemon professor, I can start by analyzing different rocks!" Camellia explained.

"What a good way of practicing to become a Pokemon professor!" Zhery complemented.

"Thanks a lot Zhery!" Camellia thanked as she walked closer to the moonstone with a small pouch and a small hammer. She was able to get nine samples from the large moonstone. When suddenly, a large drill came from the ceiling chopping down some rocks.

"Camellia watch out!" As I jumped and pushed her from the falling rock.

"Are you alright?" I questioned.

"Yeah... Thanks!" Camellia smiled and blushed.

The drill came down and two persons went down.

"Well... Well... Well... I guess the twerp and twerpette started on their own adventure." Cyra teased.

"Team Chaos!" Camellia badgered.

"Ahh if it isn't Camellia the fl-" Nate got interrupted by Glade. 

"Team Chaos!? What are you doing here?" 

"What else? We want the moonstone oops... I mean the boss wants the moonstone!"

"No! You can't have the moonstone team Chaos!" Camellia shouted.

"Careful on what you say Camellia remember, y-" 

"If you want the moonstone then you have to battle me!" I interrupted Cyra.

"Alright twerp! We'll battle, but if you lose. You have to give us your Pokemon got that!?" Team chaos bargained.

"So be it!"

"Kalem, let me fight along with you!" Glade volunteered.

"Go Go Go Golbat!" Nate sent out.

"You two sandshrew!" Cyra sent out.

"Pansear! Sear them up!"

"Zorua, let's teach these thieves a lesson!"

Zhery and Camellia were just watching, hoping that we'll win.

"Golbat use supersonic!"
"Zorua, hide behind one of the rocks!"


"Sandshrew use metal claw!"
"Pansear, dodge the metal claw then use flame charge!"

*Zorua dodged the supersonic as the supersonic was dodged by the stone Zorua was hiding on.*

*Pansear was able to dodge metal claw and used flame charge on Sandshrew*

"Sandshrew get up and use metal claw on more time!"

"Pansear! Same tactic the same move! Use flame charge!"

"Golbat use astonish!"

"Zorua dodge the astonish then use Pursuit!"

*Pansear dodged metal claw and used flame charge on Sandshrew.*

*Zorua was able to dodge astonish and used pursuit*

"Golbat no!!"

"Sandshrew return!"

"Alright Team Chaos, Kalem and Glade won fair and square now let go of the moonstone!" Zhery ordered.

"That's it! Your shenanigans are over, we're not surrendering the moonstone! We're still going to take it!" Nate proclaimed as Cyra opened the drill and broke the floor, the four of us fell into a pit.

"Ha haha! Now that your trap! There's nothing you can do about!" Nate shouted.

"Team Chaos release us right now!" Camellia badgered.

"No can do Camellia! You're a t-" 

"Riolu use force palm on the floor to send you flying up to the sky, then do force palm on the drill!" I ordered and interrupted Cyra Riolu did what I told him to do and destroyed the drill.

"There's nothing you can do about it team Chaos! You're stuck with us now!" Zhery teased.

"Why you little brats!?" Nate badgered.


"Riolu use force palm and send them blasting to the air!" I ordered. 

"Don't you dare you little hybrid!" Cyra teased.

"WHAT!? Did you just call me a hybrid!?" Riolu got mad and force palmed team Chaos to the sky.


"Were blasting off again!" Team Chaos shouted.

"Kalem! how can I help get all of you out there!?" Riolu queried.

"Riolu, find a rope somewhere, there must be one!" I ordered.

Riolu looked and searched for a rope but there was no rope! 

"Kalem, there's no rope anywhere!"

"I know Kalem! Try asking Riolu to ask help from the Geodudes!" Zhery suggested.

"Riolu! Zhery suggests that you ask help from the group of Geodudes!" I translated.

"I'll see what I can do to convince them!" Riolu left and went to the Geodudes to ask from help,.

"Help! Help! Please help me Geodude! My trainer and his friends are in trouble and they need your help!"



"No way Riolu! Your trainer and his friends went here and disturbed us remember? No way we're helping people! People are ruthless and unworthy beings!" The other Geodude added.

"Don't you dare say that to my trainer! My trainer is the best buddy in the world! He doesn't harm Pokemon, we just came here because we were lost."


"Look at what your trainer did to you! You have been blinded! They use you to fight! You're a slave to them! They just use you and say that your their buddy, but this is the harsh truth Riolu! All people are bad!" The Geodudes explain.


"I know that people are bad, I know that there are some trainers which treat their Pokemon badly! I know all of those! But my trainer isn't one of them. There are still good people in this world that you haven't met. One of them is my trainer. My trainer doesn't treat me like a slave, because if he does they why does he feed me? Hug me before sleep? Or even care for me when I get ill?"



"Sorry but we won't help! You have no business here!"



"Please Geodudes! Do you think I will come here and persuade you guys if my trainer treats me like a slave?"



"You have a point, but I promised myself to never help any human anymore!"



"You were released aren't you? You used to have faith in humanity don't you? But you were treated harshly by your trainer weren't you?" 



"Yes... Yes... I was treated badly. I was a weak Pokemon! My trainer scolded me! Threw stuff at me! Then one night... He left me, he left me and never returned."


"But you must learn how to move on, we shouldn't believe people who underestimate Pokemon, we shouldn't believe on those who called us weak! We should prove to them that we are strong and worth traveling with them!"


"Your trainer never did that to you, that's why you don't know how it feels."



"I may not experience it but I witnessed a lot of trainers who treat them badly! I feel sorry for them, they never gave up on training! The Pokemon owned by harsh trainers believe that they're treating them harshly because for their own good! I know its wrong to treat Pokemon like that, and if you were released, that doesn't mean you should lose hope and faith in humanity! Now please help my trainer Geodude!"


"Alright fine... We'll help your
 trainer and his friends just this once!"

"Thanks Geodude!"

Riolu rushed towards me and told me, "Kalem, I was able to convince the Geodudes to help!"

The Geodude held each other's hand, the last Geodude held a rock, while the Geodude in front held our hands and pulled us up.

"Thank you Geodude for rescuing us, here take these oran berries and share them with your friends alright!" Camellia thanked the Geodudes as she gave them a reward. Geodude cried in happiness he never experienced a trainer's love. Before the Geodudes left...


"Thank you Riolu... Thank you for restoring my faith unto humanity. I won't forget you, I promise."


"No Prob Geodude!"

We waved goodbye to the Geodudes as we left the cave.


"Hey Camellia, I didn't know you knew team Chaos?" I puzzled.

"Ah! umm... Ummm... I was, I mean I saw team Chaos in Covelry town before, that's how I met them..." She said worriedly.

"Finally we're out of Cave moon! Now we can go to Norva city!" Zhery beamed.


"You must start training up Kalem!" Glade suggested.

Meanwhile...

"WHAT!? You two were defeated by those brats again?" An executive exclaimed.

"S... Sorry, but me and Cyra couldn't defeat them."

"And I saw Camellia with them..." Cyra added.


"Don't ever mention the name of that traitor!" The executive said as the tv booted off.

The executive walked to the room of Team Chaos' boss.

"Sir, they failed again..."

"Those two are nothing but disappointments!"

"But at least we found the traitor sir!"

"Camellia? We finally found you!" The boss of Team Chaos said as he continued playing chess with his queen.
