     The dark shadowy creature flew away, it was immobilized by the light which the 3 had seen. Dighty was no longer held by the dark, she sat down on her butt. The 3 of them ran to her and checked for any signs of  injury or scratches done by the darkness.

     "Are you okay?" Mayca asked
     "Of course she's not okay! Haven't you seen here just now? She was ambushed!" Erica
     "Right, ahh, Dighty--*Gasp" Nicole gasped upon looking at Dighty's eyes
     "god heavens Dighty!" Mayca was shocked
     "What are y--- you." Erica almost bit her tongue
     "Wha-what are you guys blabbering about?" Dighty asked while touching her head
     "Y-y-your... Eyes." Mayca said then she covered her mouth
     "What's with my eyes?" Dighty asked
     "It's... Glowing..." Nicole said until the eyes were back to pale yellow color "Or t'was glowing" She added
     "It doesn't matter" Erica crouches down to Dighty "You are one of a kind Fal'ian" she added
     "Can we stop this and talk'bout this at the tree house? Maybe the teachers are still here?" Dighty said
     "So what if there are... Teachers?" Nicole said
     "Outsiders are strictly probihited." Dighty said and begins to stand up

     Dighty was about to say a word but then "Use it Cang!" Said Mayca to Erica, she turned the stopwatch on and they were going back to the tree house, and there Erica turned her stopwatch off.

     "What was that?" Dighty asked while turning her back on them
     "Light. You are light Dighty." Nicole said
     "I'm a what?" Dighty finally faced them
     "That's your dexterity, we told you before, you are one of us" Mayca said happily

     Dighty wasn't happy at all, something troubled inside her that all of this is wrong, but she just couldn't figure it out, she can't identify what and why. She sat down on the rough texture of wooden floor. And she cried, she remembered something... Someone... Her parents.

     "Wh-why are you crying?" Nicole asked
     "Look, everything will be fine, you're not really leaving the human world, you just have to stay with us." Mayca said while patting on her back

     Erica didn't say anything at all, she just stared at them, ain't caring at all. Dighty had finally spoken.

     "Look I know*sob that this*sob dexterity thing *sob won't bring back the life of my parents *sob nor their existence!" Dighty exclaimed her tears falling from her eyes
     "Shhh, shhh" Mayca calming her down and patting her back "I know it can be tough." she added
     "No! *Sob you don't understand! *sob you'll never understand" Dighty said crying so hard that her white shirt was already a dirty looking white due to tears and sweat.
      "Then make us understand." Nicole said

     She didn't say a word, she just looked at nothing but the floor. She can't just go and live inside the candraphy, she's a newbie on being what the 3 girls are, she could feel out of place and worse distant from the world she once lived. She stood up and went to the window, sightseeing the cars moving around the streets, looking at children playing on the yard of the other streets and hearing the bird's chirp from the tree above their heads. Nicole was about to follow her but Erica stopped her from coming, she needed an alone time. The 3 girls went outside and sat on the small space of the tree house and waited for the sun to set, kissing the horizon, and turn dark. The numerous houses were touched by the yellowish-red color coming from the sunset. They sat down for hours talking about life here on earth and their friendship lately. Until the moon had rised from the horizon bringing stars on the background. Erica went to Dighty who was already calm staring at the window, but before she could say anything, Dighty spoke first.

     "Go with you? Yeah I guess" Dighty said in a cracky voice
     "Look, it's the prefect's command." Erica said
     "Do you really have to take orders?" Dighty asked in a very low voice
     "No, I don't... But I need to." Erica said on her back
     "Why did you guys even have to meddle with m--" Dighty got cut
