The S.T.F. Files, Book 4: DIATON

Tension

Flesh

"So where exactly is Simon?" Zion barked as we were walking out into the middle of a field.

I stopped and turned quickly to bark back in his face, "his name is Damien!"

"Moron"

"I Am not!"

"Well he is!"

"Of corse he is! Only a shwiney girl could love him!"

Alicia steps up, "guys, knock it off! Just because you're from hell doesn't mean you have to be as loud as it!"

Hellmaster appeared before Nada, who leading us.

"Nada, you're running out of time. Tomorrow at minnight is the fullmoon."

"Whaaaaaaat does that mean?" I ask, looking up to hellmaster.

"He means tomorrow at minight is when Alqumia is gonna make her first appearance." Alicia barks.

"So tonight or tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow. That means we have all of tonight and tomorrow to get everyone back to normal but Thersa and Dimitrius. We'll have to all be there with them at minnight" Nada stated.

"So what's the plan?" Alicia asked.

Nada thought for a moment, Damien, Cleo, Ulison, the triplets, Sam, Sparta and Titan, The love birds, who am I missing?"

"Rilla and March." Alicia states.

"March after Ulison, Rilla whenever we find her. Now we've gotta move."

We kept on walking until we found Simon laying in the grass.

"Emily go away!" He moaned.

"Hey! I'm not Emily! How dare you call Flesh that!" I shouted. I jumped ontop of Simon. "Hey does Moron remember who he just married?"

Simon threw me off, "just married?! What's wrong with you people."

"Moron," Nada mumbles as he uses his darkness to potray the image of Cleo on me. "You married her. Little miss shwiney the theif-ninja. You know, collects anything shwiney, bright red hair. Looks like the little mermaid."

I shake my head, "moron!" I wack Simon upside the head, "you hate Nada!"

He shakes his head, "Cleo... My Cleopatra..." He change back to Damien and tackled Nada, "I don't approve of you and Alicia!"

Alicia snapped, "Lay off Moron! Aren't you more worried about Cleo? She can't remember who she is!"

"I'll be back to finish this later!" Damien stormed off.

"And Cleo's done. Let's go find Ulison," Nada stated.

"And you were of no help." Zion griped to me.

I snapped back, "I was too!"

"Zion, Nadie. Go find Theresa, then go and talk to Ulison. We're gonna go find March." Nada barked at us.

"Why do I have to be stuck with him?" I whined.

Zion snapped, "You think I like being stuck with you?!"

Eclaire

I sigh as I sit back in a chair, "why am I here?" I cross my legs and slouch.

Nature sighed, "you know why. Because hellmaster is up to something."

"Isn't hellmaster always up to something? I mean, he's hellmaster!" I shouted, "anyway what do you want me to do about it? I'm rather useless now. They won't listen to me. They're just a bunch of teenagers who are lost. You think I'm doing well? I'm just like them! I'm having the same problems. I don't even remember who I am anymore."

Time sighed, "Eclaire, don't lose it. You've been perfectly fine up to now."

"Me fine? I don't like it here! I don't like it anywhere! You know where I wanna go? Paris!" I shouted so loud even Simon who wandered off probably heard me.

"You'll have your chance to go one day," Nature stated, "anyway, we need you to take down any one of us. Maybe Angel?"

I roll my eyes, "uh....why? You know I have no powers. You took them last week."

"Take down one of us. If you do it now, then the kids can't do it in the future."

"Nope." I say, "not endangering myself for something stupid. I don't wanna be your servant. I just wanna go home. You know, that place where you live that you have a family and you enjoy being there." I stand up and fix my black layered skirt, "Eclaire's out."

"Your name is Rilla." I hear something dark say behind me. Who were they? I swear they were following me all day.

I walk out of there. They had a plan. I don't know what they were doing, but they had a plan.

And they couldn't go through with it. I will not have them doing anything to these kids here.

I go into the main building and grab my megaphone, "EVERYONE TO THE MAIN BUILDING RIGHT NOW. POWERS OR NOT!"

About twenty minutes later everyone was here-even Hellmaster and some guys I didn't know.

"Why are we here this time?" Theresa rolled her eyes.

Dimitrius kept caughing, he was definitly sick. "Can I go back now?"

Isabella sighed, "what is so important?"

I stand up on a chair. Everyone gets silent. I drop the megaphone, "look. I don't know what's going on here anymore. I do know that something is wrong. Nature is up to something. So is time. We need to do something. You guys are great at two things: breaking things and fighting. I'm gonna send you off in groups. Group one: DIATON. Dimitrius, Isabella, Alexander, Theresa, Olivander, Nevermore. You guys must stop them. You're the strongest here."

"No." A guy in a purple hoodie from the back said, "we can't do that Rilla. That's not how we work here."

"Uh what's going on?" Gaea wisphered to Kronos. He shook his head.

"My name isn't Rilla. I'm sorry."

Cole puts downs his newspaper, "okay then, how are we preceeding?"

"I will be taking these three," the boy in the purple hoodie points to the girl and boy shouting at each other in the corner. He then points to the girl telling them to knock it off. "Then I want him and her" he points to Cole and Helena, "and Rilla, you should remember, you were the leader of the EFT after all."

"EFT?! What does that mean?" I thought about it. Theresa's step-sister, EFT.... Theresa and I didn't see eye to eye but...that's because we both were leaders! I feel myself starting to transform.

Soon I was Rilla. I am Rilla.

"Now everyone, I'm not a leader here. Do what he says," I point to Nada, "My job is to fool Nature and Time until the last moment. I can't believe I'm saying this but Hellmaster's son is in charge. Just don't do anything...well. I don't know. I'm a pretty good distraction, but I can't hold them off for long." I wink at Nada before jumpping down, grabbing my megaphone, and heading out.

Mel

"What is going on..." I tried to reason. The boy in the purple sweatshirt stepped up on the chair, "alright. We're running low on time so we need to do this as quickly as possible..."
