May (Chapter 16)

        Knock knock.

        Celia opened the door for Finn.

      "Hey Celia," Finn looked very concerned, "Is your brother home?"

        "Why? Didn't you come to see me?" Celia smiled seductively.

        "Um..."

        "Relax, I'm just messing with you. Hunter's not home but Skyler is in the living room. She seems really upset." said Celia, pointing at the direction of their living room.

        Finn walked in, holding the book he stole from May's house.

        "Hey Finn...'' Skyler said, as she sniffed and wiped away her tears.

        Finn ignored that and sat right next to Skyler, "Something is going on really, really big." He puts on his glasses and opened the book.

        "What?" Skyler asked.

        Finn turned to the page he was looking for, next to the dim light of the room, he said, "Sukimonu yokai, in Japanese mythology, they are these powerful creatures that posses these supernatural powers..."

         Skyler cleaned her face with her hand, and paying full attention to Finn.

        "And normally, they are trapped between the world of living and the world of the shadows," Finn continued as he pointed at the ancient, yellow pages of the book, "But, if the item that they're trapped in is broken, they're released."

        Skyler and Finn both looked at each other, remebering...

         Finn said, "And then, they search out for human souls to posses to do their work."

        "You think that someone has been possessed by warrior spirit?'' Skyler asked, pointing at the picture on the book.

        Finn flipped the page slowly and showed her the next picture,"Looks familiar?''

        The picture is a beautiful necklace shining in green. Looks exactly like the one that May has...

        "This book also shows that the existance of these spirits are to prevent an ancient prophecy by killing the wicked." Finn says.

        "The wicked."

         "Yeah, umm," Finn continues to read, "The wicked is whom are in possession of dark powers." He closed the book and took off his glasses as he said, "Basically the warrior spirits are supposed to kill the bad guys. But fortunately, we don't know anyone with dark powers."

         Skyler and Finn both started to think and then they stop and looked at each other.

        "Right?" Finn asked with uncertainty.
