Sacrifice.

Revenge

I stared at the black book in frustration and anger. Whose idea was it to lock the stupid thing? Why would they do this?

Oh right, because it's important.

I floated up and down the clearing in the silent forest trying to think of what to do - go back to the Alpha?

Nah he'd never help me.

Who would help me anymore? Know one was left. Know one that I trusted anyway.

I glowered at the book menacingly hating it with malice, I needed help....I needed...

I needed a key.

I examined the lock on the book, it was rusted and old and the book's cover was a worn and rough leather. Where could I get this key? It could be anywhere....oh, I wish I could speak to Emmy- she always knew what to do...who was the best person next to Emmy? Who was closest to her in personality?

Mika.

I needed to talk to Mika, I'd never met her but she was Emmy's family so I was worth a try.

+_+_+_+_+_++__+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_++__+_+_+_

I float outside Mika's school, watching her walking across the cement playground, clutching a porcelain doll to her chest. As she became closer and closer and I became more and more nervous - What was I going to say to her? How could I know she would even see me? I didn't have the answers and not knowing terrified me.

She stumbled through the large iron gates her face lowered and the doll still held in her small fingers-she had to get home on her own as her mum, dad and sister were dead.

I held back a sob as I thought of Emmy and floated slowly towards her and quietly called out her  name in a soft voice not wanting to startle her and then suddenly...

"Katy? KATY IT'S YOU!!" I was going mad. Mika's doll was...

Talking to me. Actually speaking to me. I couldn't answer, I just stared with my translucent hanging wide open as Emmy's voice called out of the small doll.

"Shhhh!!! Emmy, SHHHHH! People will see!" Mika whispered to the doll and then looked around not seeing me, and then said: "Where's Katy? I can't see her!"

I gulped and stammered: "Emmy, is that really you?" The small doll nodded her head and I gulped again and said more clearly, "Tell Mika - Quietly - that I need to speak to you... Both of you". The doll whispered something to Mika. then suddenly a small figure stepped out from behind Mika, I gasped and made a sound which sounded a lot like a mouse dying, before she said still looking at Mika.

Dani. My little sister.

"Mika, what is it? Who are you talking to you? I..-" She blurted, and then looked around and saw me staring at her with desperate eyes which were streaming with silent tears.

"Katy? You came back for me! But... But you left me. You.." Suddenly her eyes flashed red and she leapt at me anger seeping into her expression as she went straight through me. Thank God the street was empty. "YOU LEFT ME!! YOU LEFT ME ALONE AT THAT PLACE! HOW COULD YOU??"

I was shaking and I was so confused. Her eyes... What was wrong with her eyes? We had to get out of here - I had the strangest feeling we were being watched...

"I will explain everything, anyway we need to go somewhere... Which is not here. Come on, lets go."

+_+_+_++_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

A WHILE LATER:

I had explained everything to them, about the book, DarkLix and everything.

I looked around the clearing, at my little sister sitting to my left fuming silently. She would never forgive me. At Mika talking quietly to Emmy who was pacing up and down her little porcelain feet clinking on the cold, hard ground.

None of them knew what to do. And unless I had any bright ideas soon...

DarkLix would never be destroyed.  

I sunk to the floor my face in my hands when a dark shadow slunk into the clearing I could just see them out of the corner of my eye.

Oh no. Not again.

I looked up slowly, to see... To see....

DarkLix holding Dani by her shirt a knife to her throat. A hideous smirk on her face.

Dani's face was contorted into the same smirk and her eyes were blazing with fire.

Editor's Note - WHAT? God damn it DarkLix... And Bella! Gah! My chapter next... =) ALSO BELLA, THAT TOOK FOREVER!!!!
