Jade's P.O.V

______________________________________________________________________

Raksha was weirder than usual today. Her aura said she had been crying and under alot of stress.

"Vivian have you finished your homework?" Our step-mother Clare said. She had changed our names when she got the first chance. Raksha was called 'Cynthia', Lissa was called 'Lilly' and I was called 'Vivian'. We did not like them so our 'Real family' -which consists of Raksha, Lissa and me- called each other by the names our mother gave us.

"Yes I have." I replied annoyed. Lissa walked down the stairs with grace that would bring a ballerina to shame.

"Jem, Cynthia is crying. Go comfort her." Lissa whispered to me.

"Why me and not you?" I asked.

"'Cause your younger and she doesn't mind telling you stuff." She suggested

"Fine." I grumbled and rushed into Raksha's room. It scared me at first. I thought she was replaced by someone who looked like her. I had NEVER seen her so upset.

"Are you okay?" i asked quietly

"N-N-No..."She mumbled.It scared me to see her like this...So-so vulnerable. SoI did the only thing i could think of, I huggedher and she clung to me crying. Then I started crying. We stayed that way a while,clinging to each other even when we stopped crying.

Suddenly she looked up determined and we linked minds.She downloaded everything she knew about her powers into my mind like downloading music into an Ipod. And then i could sense her mind.Her mind was beautiful. Her mind looked like a huge, uncut, glowing,crystal at night. The crystal's colour kept shifting colours never black though.Showing how at first she seems cold and cruel but inside she was loyal and protective andwas-dispite her many flaws-beautiful too.

When she pulled away from my mind i felt -ironically- lonely.

"How-What-Why-Why did you do that?" I askedDrowsily.

"You will find out soon." she replied mischievouslyand i soon forgotabout the mind link.

Raksha's P.O.V

A week later

____________________________________________________________________

I was in easily the worst mood of my life. Worrying about Lissa and Jade all nighttook it's toll on me. Combined with my hatred of the two freaks coming to 'collect' me for an 'army' i was in a mood to pick a fight.

I sat down to quickly do my biology homework. Until Matthew sat down across me. I had discovered 90% of the time, ignoring him was the most effective thing to do when something like this happened and he would go annoy someone else. Unfortunately he did not go away which meant he crossed over the other 10%.

Half-way through my biology homework hesarcastically said "Don't you have better things to do than bio witch..."

"Like what?" I asked. It was obviously a rhetorical question.

"Like casting a spell to make someone do it for you or-" Matthew shut up when i punched him in the face (Anger management remember). Then before anyone could notice, i rushed to the girls room.

Matt's P.O.V

____________________________________________________________________

Cynthia punched me in the face. I was punched in the face by Cynthia. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact. Before anyone could notice, i rushed to the nurses office.

"Your very lucky sweetie. Nothing is broken. Woul you mind telling me what happened?" The nurse asked.

"I slipped and hit a door and you know what happened next." I replied casuallyI didn't know why the words kept going through my mind untilI realised: I had just lied formy totally hot enemy-I mean my enemy.

"Here is aletter for your teacher now go to your next class." the nurse said oblivious to mythoughts. I was happy to go to my next classbiology, Art andthenMathematics. AsI stepped into the class i realised why they were my favourites. Cynthia was there. I quickly passed the letter tothe teacher and rushed to my seat.

On my desk was a notecuriously i opened it. It simply said:

Matthew,

Sorry about the face. Bad day today.You okay?

-C

Who the hell is C? C,C,C,C, waitCynthia.

Cynthia

It's okay.Sorry.Yeah, I'm fine.Friends?

-M

Idon't know why i was so happy she was concerned or hopeful she would become my friend. Ah hell i thought. I stood up topretend to throw something away and dropped the note on Cynthia's desk. She quickly picked the note upto read it and wrote something down. Thenas i walked past she passed the note to me.The note said:

Matthew,

Not likely, It's not you okay it's me...

-C

I felt a little dissapointedbut I expected that much untilI saw in really small writing:

But thanks :)

After class I wanted to talk to her a little but as she went out the room she dropped something andI just HAD to pick it up. It was two small key chains with black skulls on them. One for me one for my twin Jordan to bad for her.

That was weird Matthew seemed almost human. Wait the two charmed skull key chains they're gone. The two people who have them will remember me. Shit. Deal with it at home, anyway Clare and Dave have already temporarilyforgotten about Jade and Lissa. relax they're safe in your clearing. I was almost at the front door when i sensed their aura. They were here.
