Zane and I walked up to Pandora's house. Sure enough, Ali's car was parked outside.

We walked up to the car and Nikki rolled down the window. "So, Arden, what's the plan?" She asks.

"All you guys have to do is distract Pandora and get her to reveal the library. Zane and I will look for the Kai inside. After twenty minutes, we should be out."

"Cool, let's roll." Ali and Nikki got out the car.

Zane and I made our way for the back of the house and we hid behind a bush. "How do we know when to go in?" Zane asked.

I pointed towards the window. "We should see the library when Pandora passes. Nikki and Ali will give us the signal."

We waited for a while before we saw her. Pandora.

She had blond hair and I could tell her eyes were blue all the way from here.

Penny looked exactly like her. Nikki and Ali soon appeared and so did the library. It was a black door with carvings on it, I was too far to see.

Pandora had her back towards us while they were talking to her. I didn't know that they were saying to her but, Pandora looked pretty distracted.

Pandora didn't see when Nikki looked through the window straight at us and her eyes flashed a bright yellow.

"That's the signal, let's go." Zane said as we crept low all the way to the back door. We peeked our eyes through the small window.

Nikki looked at us again and saw that we were out the door. Pandora still had her back towards us so I didn't know what they were talking about.

Nikki gave us a look, basically asking 'What the hell do we do now?'

I shrugged my shoulders. 'Just get her away from the door.'

Nikki looked at Pandora and started to say something. I watched as Nikki brought her fist to Pandora's face. Pandora fell forward and Ali caught her.

Oh my goodness.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Zane grumbled beside me. We stood up fully and Zane pushed the door open.

"What the hell Nikki?" I asked as I looked at the unconscious woman in Ali's hands.

"What?" She raise her hands. "I had to do something."

"So you decided to knock her out?" Zane asked beside me.

"You have to admit, it was pretty cool." Ali laughed setting Pandora in a chair.

"Okay, whatever. Just make sure she doesn't wake up. We will be back in 20 minutes." Zane told them.

"Gee, how hard could it be to watch someone when they're sleeping?" Nikki asked sarcastically.

I turned to the library door and it had Pandora's symbol on it. We opened the door and was met with Pandora's library.

"Good luck." Ali's aid after us.

Zane and I walked further into the room. It wasn't as big as ours back at home.
