Riku's POV

" Alright, so we got you some new clothes, and I'm starting to regret losing that umbrella." I huffed walking up the hill. The rain began to soak us.

" Well, I mean it isn't too bad." Cole smiled. I guess it was nice. " Hey, isn't that Lily." he yelled and pointed to the girl up ahead.

" Yeah, it is, but what she doing with no umbrella." I began to realize something wasn't right here. The girl looked like her, but there was a weird essence surrounding her. The girl took off running into the forest. " Wait! Lily!!!" I started to run after her.

" Riku!!! Don't something's not right here!!!' I yelled. I didn't listen, I had to get to the bottom of this. I ran deeper into the woods.

" Lily!!!" I yelled running through the woods. The rain stung my eyes and the twigs scraped my arms. " Come back!!!'

Where do you think you're going!!!

" Who's there?!" I yelled. I looked closer into the darken forest. " Hello?" I tried to talk back to the voice.

Yuki, Zane, Riku, Cole, Natalie, Jay, Lucy, Kai, Samsara, Lloyd. One down four more to go...The girl in the forest shifted into a beast with green eyes appeared. Times up, ghost whisper..

" Ahh!!!!"

Cole's POV

*Riku's screams*

" Riku!!! Where are you!!!" I yelled. The rain disrupted my vision, but I had to follow my instincts to find her.

Yuki, Zane, Riku, Cole, Natalie, Jay, Lucy, Kai, Samsara, Lloyd. One down four more to go...

" Who are you?! What do you what with Riku!!" I yelled.

Well, well isn't it Cole the ninja of Earth. Oh, not anymore huh, you're a ghost of a monster...

" ARgh, shut up!!!' I threw a fallen branch towards the voice. " You don't know anything!!!"

Oh, aren't you a fierce one...the beast snarled. Well, why don't you just sacrifice yourself to us. The Master wants you alive.

" Why should I?!"

The wolf-like creature appeared from the shadows. His eyes glowed green and his fur dark and reflected no light. Don't you want to save this girl? There in his jaws was a small girl.

" Riku!! Argh, what have you done?!"

Oh, nothing much just bringing back my Masters spy.

" What? Spy, I think you got the wrong person. Now let her go before your ugly face becomes part of the tree." I threaten. Riku started to wake up. " Riku are you-"

" I'm fine, just hanging around." She stated as she hung from the wolf's jaws. " Hey, it's you." She looked at the wolf.

You know only what we wanted you to know....the wolf let go of Riku. She fell to the ground. That girl with the power to connect worlds let you know too much about our kind. We were lucky to find her just in time.

" Now you want, Riku."

Well, I suppose so. Yes, she has served her purpose. Now that you're here you remain-A shot of green light attacked the wolf and knocked it into the tree. Riku got up and in her hands was a silver chained necklace with a green stone attached to the bottom.

" Cole get back!!!" The stone glowed and the spirit realm opened. " Now! Spirits of the Other Side. I asked you to assist me!!!"

What!? How are you, you weren't born with these powers?

" Well, aren't I just full of surprises!' She smiled. While he was distracted I knocked the wolf back into the shadows. The beast began to transform into something else. It's essence grew stronger. A ghostly light shone brighter.

Look at what you could become with you ghost powers....He began to transform into a some sort of ghost. The darkness lies within you. You're dangerous it you're not careful..

" Shut up!!!' I yelled running towards it. My nail elongated into claws. My eyes burned red. I felt the touch of blood through my fingers. The wolf howled in pain.

" Cole?!"

I turned to her voice. " Get back!" I yelled. I turned back to the wolf. It was gone. The claws and red eyes disappeared. I was back to normal..for now. " Cole?" I felt Riku's hand on my shoulders.

" I'm fine." I whispered.

" No your not. Whatever that thing told you. It's not true. It's only true if you truly believe that." She stated. I looked at her. I've noticed something that I hadn't before. When I looked into her eyes I...I saw myself.
