This scene (chapter) is suppose to be like Twilight, where James bites Bella and she's like in paiiinnnn!!! (And yes, 5 out of 10 of you will most likely say you hate Twillight, but this is my version!) Mixed with a hint of surprise!

I woke up feeling terrible and sick. But no sooner had I awoken, had I noticed my surrounding. I was in Aaron's room again. Who brought me bac-....Aaron..

I close my eyes for a faint second before I hear a knock. "Yes?"

"It's Loke, milady." The flowing saxophonic voice of someone said. After what happened in the yard earlier, I didn't think I'd see this guy alive again, or if he even was alive.

I let him in. He was whistling with a tray of food in his hands. "Here princess. Everyone's worried about you. And if you don't hurry, heartless down there is gonna leave." I assumed he meant Aaron.

I pushed the tray aside and hurried downstairs. Just as I was, Aaron picked up the bag containing the materials and the book in his arm. "Wait- Aaron!" I grabbed his trench coat. He stopped and said "I'll be back, don't worry, I just have to retrieve the liquid." But his eyes were lying.

And for the first time, I could see that Aaron was scared. Scared of death, although he came from death himself. "Y-you don't have to go! Forget about the water well! I'm fine." And as to prove my wrong, my stomach growled. I blushed but even so, Aaron only gave a small smile and continued walking down to the first floor.

"Aaron wait!" I followed him downstairs where everyone was waiting. "Percy! You're awake!" Valorie exclaimed. I nodded but continued to follow Aaron where he stopped at the coat rack.

He turned to me and said "Percy, I have a feeling you've got something up your sleeves, so I'm gonna have Ying Tao and Loke guard you." I heard Tia gasp. "Y-You're putting me under house arrest?!"

"If it makes you happier, the others aren't going either." Aaron told us as he opened the door. "Hmm, well think of it as a gift, I guess. Anyways, I'll be back, when, I don't know. So be good!" And with that he disappeared into town.

"Wait! Aaron!" I called but he did not answer. I tried to go after him but Ying Tao moved before me. "Forgive me, but it is Master's orders. Disobey, and you shall be punished." She stood floating with arms crossed at the front door, barring the way.

"What are we gonna do?!" I cried out loud. "There's only one thing, princess." I saw Loke descend from the stairs. He was playing with a pocket knife by throwing it up in the air and catching it.

"Loke!" I exclaimed. "Yep, that's me." And he threw the knife across the room and right at Ying Tao so fast that it took everyone seconds to see what happened.

"Loke! You dare disobey Master's command?!" It was Ying Tao. She had moved from her post, no longer blocking the exit. "Take it as a gift, you guys." Loke told us, calmly taking Ying Tao's gaze away from us.

"But why are you helping us?" I asked. "I may look like I resent Aaron but I don't. I know and I remember that day. I was alone, masterless. I spent my days in an abyss, wandering around aimlessly and then....Aaron picked my up. He became my support, my goal of devotion. I owe everything to him, whether it looks like it or not." He grinned at the memory and his vow.

"Now go, I put my life in your hands and my trust in you." He said as he charged at Ying Tao. I nodded a silent thanks and the gang and me ran after Aaron.

But it wasn't as hard as I though it would be, following after him, though we didn't catch up. We were stopped by a few demons but they were quickly slayed by Valorie, Lewis, and Noellen. But much to my surprise there weren't a lot that dare to confront us.
