AN: I'M SOOOOOOO SORRY! I've been busy with college that I spaced out, please forgive me! As promised here is the next chapter, though I was a little upset to have only received six reviews so far. Your comments are important to me and I really would like to know what you think of the story so far. Also PLEASE check out my new youtube video for this story, the link is on my bio page.

I dedicate this chapter to A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, PokemonPuppy23, StrawberryCherry, Tomboy1503, AuroraWinters, Olivia-Ivy, Absolute Disaster Child, and meledyloung. And also of course my wonderful Beta-Reader Flaming Sliver.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G(guest): I'm glad your not upset about the pairing, your right about the bashing thing. Brendan will have a personality in this story and as for why May looses her memory well that will come up. Also its not like people forgot about May but keep in mind about eight years will have passed when everyone meets again. People change a lot in those years whether it is their voice or physical appearance.

PokemonPuppy23: Thank you for your comment; I was hoping it would flow better this time around.

StrawberryCherry: Glad you liked my first story, I hope you will like this one even better!

AuroraWinters and Absolute Disaster Child: DON'T WORRY I'M CONTINUING, SORRY FOR THE WAIT!

Olivia-Ivy: I'm glad you liked my old story. I had a hard time figuring out whom May should be with in the original story but I thought Gary would fit better as her brother.

meledyloung: I am glad you liked the original story, however there will be some extra added spices to this revised version.

Chapter Two

Escape

Pain. That was the first thing May registered as she began to wake up. Her whole body felt sore and bruised, like she'd fought a couple rounds with a Machamp and got beaten to a pulp every time. She kept her eyes closed, not wanting to open them just yet.

After a few minutes she began to register other sensations besides the pain. Her body was positioned sideways against a cold metal surface making her shiver. The distinct sound of whirring blades sounded from overhead, she was probably in a helicopter of some sort. Something coarse and bristly was digging into her wrists and ankles, binding them.

'Rope,' she thought wearily as she attempted to loosen her bindings, but only succeeded in giving herself an even worse rope burn then she already had.

'One of these guys must have been a pokescout when they were younger,' she thought sardonically. 'But who exactly kidnapped me? All I really remember is everyone freaking out,' she thought frustratedly at first before panic began to take over at the thought of her pokemon.

With a grimace of pain, she quickly sat up as her eyes opened. She blinked a few times, getting used to the lighting before frantically looking around for any sign of her pokemon.

"Looking for something?" a sickly sweet voice said cryptically as a deeper voice chuckled darkly. May's head snapped in the direction of voice, squinting as she tried to discern who was talking. From out of the shadows emerged two people. Both were wearing similar hooded robes, one purple the other black, that shaded their eyes so that only their mouths were visible, a weird gold colored skull symbol on the top of the hood. The figure in purple reached below the shoulder of the figure in black and had smaller build compared to their bulky companion. May noticed the purple figure was hugging a stuffed toy Teddiursa while the figure in black had an arm wrapped protectively around their companions waist. Before she could retort the person in purple giggled and May's eyes widened as she saw what was in their hands.

"Get your hands off my pokemon!" she yelled out enraged. The purple figure tipped their head to the side, frowning.

"Did you hear that big brother? She yelled at me and after all the trouble I went to for her. I even got rid of those ugly clothes and gave her such nice ones instead!" the figure whined, pouting as they crossed their arms in indignation.

"Not everyone can be as kindhearted as you my dear little sister." the figure in black said, patting his sister on the head affectionately.

It was then May noticed she was not in her normal clothes. Looking down she noticed she was wearing a short sleeveless grey cotton nightgown. A horrified expression appeared on her face as she realized just what other clothes of hers they changed. Upon seeing the horrified look upon their captives face, the girl smiled sweetly at May.

"Don't worry I changed your clothes. Brother tends to get to excited around new toys. He's not very good at playing with them, he has a tendency to go and… break them." The girl said affectionately, a creepy smile appearing on her face as her brother pouted.

"It's not my fault they're weak, but I could never hurt you my darling sweet little sister," he said, hugging her lovingly making her giggle. By now May was getting weirded out by the creepy siblings who she had started to call Purple and Black in her head. Eventually they turned their attention back to May.

"Now that your awake we can all finally play together!" she said gleefully, clapping her hands together. She skipped over to where May was as her brother hovered behind her. Grabbing a knife she quickly cutting the ropes that bound May's wrists before grabbing them, making her wince in pain. Purple examined them curiously.

"It looks like you tied her up pretty hard big brother, her wrists are definitely going to bruise. Look they even bled!" she said cheerfully as she handed May's wrists to her brother. For a moment he gazed at them in hunger before smiling sadistically. Yanking her wrists closer to his face, he brought them to his mouth before licking up the blood. May felt as if she was going to be sick. After awhile he pulled back grinning evilly.

"You taste absolutely delicious, I can't get enough of your sweet blood," he said creepily, licking his lips. His sister huffed crossing her arms.

"Better than me big brother?" she said sadly, her lips quivering. Dropping May's wrists, Black pulled Purple in a close embrace.

"No one can taste as good as my dear little sister," he murmured affectionately, lovingly stroking her cheek making her giggle happily as she wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a kiss on his cheek. Not wanting to witness any more of their love fest May decided to speak.

"Who are you and why have you kidnapped me?" she demanded angrily snapping them out of their reverie. The girl frowned, angry at May for ruining their moment.

"We didn't kidnap you! We just simply found you asleep and decided to take you with us. You weren't exactly protesting," said the girl huffing. A vein popped up on May's head.

"That's because I was unconscious!" she retorted angrily. The girl tipped her head.

"Well you really shouldn't fall unconscious, it's a dangerous habit to get into you know! A really creepy person could do something horrible to you. You could easily be kidnapped that way. That would be terrible!" the girl lectured May, who sweat dropped.

"Isn't that what you did?" she said tiredly, making the other girl huff. Before they could continue their banter, Black stepped in.

"Enough," he said calmly in tone that left no room for argument, making his sister straighten up. He turned towards May, before he began to speak again.

"Who we are is none of your concern. All you need to know is that our master bestowed upon us the task of terminating your wretched existence from this world, permanently." At this May felt the blood drain from her face. His sister smiled.

"Oh don't worry we won't do it right away. We'll give you a few last moments with your pokemon to battle us. You'll loose of course, but at least you can say you put up a fight," she said cheerfully as she handed May her pokeballs. May shakily took them, instantly sensing something was wrong.

"What did you do to them?" she said quietly. The girl frowned at her.

"We didn't hurt them if that's what you're asking!" she huffed indignantly, looking upset before her face changed to a more thoughtful expression. "Well except when we knocked them out shortly after our Gigalith used Smack Down on you, though I think he hit you a little to hard since you've been out for, oh I'd say forty eights hours give or take." she said thoughtfully, tapping her chin as May's eyes went wide.

"Two days?" she said in disbelief to herself but her female captor heard her.

"Yes, you know you're not a very lively person when you're unconscious, it was quite boring to watch you to be honest," she said bluntly before smiling at her. "But don't worry we're on the opposite side of the world from Johto so no will be able to find you here!" she said brightly as May felt her heart sink.

"Don't worry your pokemon will be safe with us after you die! In fact we just wiped part of your pokémon's memories! Can't have them recognizing any friends of yours now can we? Don't worry we kept their memories of you so you can battle, but we'll erase them afterwards except for their moves. We'll even let you watch!" she said reassuringly to May. As if that was any comfort to her!

"But how?" May sputtered, furrowing her brows as she tried to think of how it was possible to so selectively erase a pokemon's memory.

"Simple really. Since they were in a really weak state, Poliwhirl and Poliwag were able to use Amnesia on them easily to clear their mind. A double dose of that combined with a double dose of Hypnosis made it easy for us to tell them exactly what they were to forget. Fun unknown fact about amnesia, while it clears the mind it also can erase what a pokemon wants to forget, but only after hypnosis has been applied. Enough of that though, we'll let you get ready for our battle," she finished cheerfully before cutting the remaining ropes binding May's ankles.

Yanking May to her feet none to gently, Purple dragged the staggering girl to a door before nodding to her brother. At the signal he yanked the door open. May shivered, hugging herself as cold air rushed in.

Outside it was raining so hard that May couldn't make out anything. Purple gestured with her hand for May to look down. Peering down carefully she could tell they were very, very high up above the dark thundering waves of the ocean below.

"Really stormy outside isn't big brother?" said Purple absentmindedly. Her brother nodded and she continued. " And we're reeeeeeeally high up aren't we?" she said innocently. Again he nodded.

"How far did you say the nearest land was?" she asked curiously.

"Six hours at least. Nobody comes out this way due to the dangerous nature of the water pokemon here." he said, shooting May a feral grin. His sister nodded.

"So if someone were to say, jump from here into the ocean the in this weather, how long would it take for them to reach land?" Purple asked curiously. He looked right at May as he answered.

"There's no way in hell they'd make it. If the waves don't drag them under, and drown them, the water pokemon will. If not that, well the water's pretty freezing right now, so they'd most likely die of hypothermia rather quickly. Or they just eventually drown due to sheer exhaustion." he said nonchalantly. His sister nodded looking thoughtful before clapping her hands together and looking at May.

"Right, well that's settled, you're not going to escape that way! Looks like your chance of escape is death!" she said gleefully as her brother shut the door before she noticed May's hopeless expression. She smiled sweetly her pulling her into a hug.

"Don't be sad, we'll still kill you but it'll be a much more creative way than any regular old drowning or dying of sickness. We'll give you seven minutes to be alone with your pokemon before we battle okay?" May didn't respond as Purple brought her lips close to May's ear.

"I can hardly wait to hear you what you sound like as you scream and beg for mercy," she murmured sweetly. Giggling she pulled away as her brother approached them so that he was next to his sister. He smiled sadistically as he leant down so that his lips were at May's opposite ear.

"I can't wait to see what your insides look like on the outside your body," he said softly to her before giving her ear a lick. He pulled back holding one of his sisters hands as they leaned in, kissing her softly on each cheek, Purple kissing her right one and Black kissing her left one before the two switched cheeks. With one last smile at May the two exited, the only sound was that of the door being locked.

Her whole body felt numb as she looked down at her pokeballs, her sapphire eyes filling up with tears for a moment. However, she blinked them back, eyes burning with determination. She would not give up; she had to save her pokemon from falling into the hands of those vile siblings. Her gaze fell upon the door to the outside and she swallowed before turning back to her pokeballs.

"Come on out everyone," she managed to choke out as she released her pokemon. At first they all looked dazed and confused before turning their gaze to her. Relief flooded through them at seeing their beloved trainer alive despite her battered state. May to felt relief at seeing her pokemon all right despite having part of their memory wiped, they still knew who she was. It only made her resolve stronger.

"I'm going to get you out of here, I promise. But you have to listen to me carefully. Right now we're really high up above the ocean, the water right now is to rough for Wartortle to swim and even if he could he is in no shape to do so, so don't even think about it," she said looking pointedly at Wartortle before continuing. "There's a chance you guys can still make it though. Here's what we're going to do."

May carefully explained her plan to her pokemon. There was a moment of silence after she finished before her pokemon all started to talk over each other in their own language at the same time, but the message was clear: NO! She held up a hand to silence them, feeling their hearts break at the sad defeated look in her eyes.

"I know you don't like it. Quite frankly I don't either but it's the only way I know you guys will be safe. All of you have been saving me for years, now its time I save you. I wouldn't have made this far without you guys always being there to protect me. I'm sorry to have failed you as both a friend and a trainer. Trainers are supposed to be there to protect their pokemon. But I failed you and because of my failure you've all been hurt so terribly by those sick siblings. I wasn't there to protect you then, but I am now and I'd rather die then let them hurt you ever again!" she said resolutely, looking more determined then any of them had ever seen her, at the time though she was still sad.

"My body is bound to end up on some island, dead bodies do float after all. Even though I'll be dead, you guys will be fine, you'll be safe and together. Consider it my final gift to you as your trainer. Just promise me you'll protect each other the way I wasn't able to protect you." At this May started to choke up, the tears she had been holding back starting to fall from her eyes.

All of her pokemon watched her wanting to rebuke her statements. The thought of May failing hadn't even crossed their minds, it was the people who kidnapped them that were the ones to blame. However they knew no matter what they did, May would still blame herself. Never before had they felt so helpless as now. Their eyes filled with tears knowing how little time they had left with their beloved girl.

Skitty was the first to approach her slowly before leaping into her arms whimpering. May hugged her close as their tears mixed together. One by one each of her pokemon followed Skitty, surrounding her in their own version of a group hug. May smiled at them hugging them each before turning to look at all of them.

"I want all of you to know that I love you more than anything. You're not just my pokemon, you're my family and no one, not those sibling, not Team Rocket, not even death can take that bond away from us!" she said fiercely, hugging them. They hugged her back as best they could, everyone cherishing this moment for as long as they could before reluctantly pulling away. May wiped her tears as she stood up, giving them one last smile.

"I love you guys and I'll always be with in spirit. This isn't goodbye, its see you later," she choked out before taking a deep breath.

"Return."

Before they were engulfed by the red light, they all spoke at the same time, and despite the language barrier, May understood them perfectly.

'We love you to May.'

At once her pokemon were engulfed in red light and all too soon, May was once again by herself. She looked down sadly at her pokeballs, giving them a kiss as determination filled her. Looking down disgustedly at her dress, she tore a good chunk off before putting all her pokeballs in it, tying it shut, but not before tying it securely around her wrist. Walking over to the door to the outside she opened it, shivering as ice-cold fingers clawed at as the howling wind spattered her with rain.

May glanced down at the raging water below trying to shake off her fear. She shut her eyes, hugging the cloth containing her pokeballs close to her body, feeling her pokemon even now giving her the strength to complete the task at hand. Moving so that she was standing on the edge of the doorway she took one last deep breath, and jumped.

Water angrily rained down like bullets upon her body, the wind screaming in her ears as the sensation of falling seemingly never ending, she just kept falling and falling wishing it would stop and then…

She crashed into the water. At once the freezing water of the ocean wrapped her in it's cold, dark embrace as it dragged her beneath pounding waves and into the unknown.

From the helicopter two figures gazed at the spot May had landed. The girl sighed sadly.

"Phooey, I was so looking forward to having a new toy to play with," she said pouting as her brother put a comforting arm around her.

"I was too, dear little sister, but we have more important matters to attend to. We must tell master that the girl is dead," he said as his sister nodded. They closed the door and walked back, hand in hand signaling the pilot to fly them back home.


Two days. Two whole days had passed since May had been kidnapped. Solidad had managed with help from Drew and Harley to contact May's friends about the situation. The worst had been May's family.

Drew had watched from afar as officer Jenny phoned May's parents watching as she explained what happened. He would never forget to his dying day the sound of Caroline Maple's heartbroken cry, watched as Norman Maple wrapped his arms around his grief stricken wife his own eyes full of tears as he choked out a quick response about their son Max not being home, but they would try to contact him and that they would be there as soon as possible. Unfortunately someone else reached Max before his parents did.

Flashback

Solidad stood shakily as she waited for Brianna to answer the video phone, knowing how upset the girl would upon finding out what had happened to one her close friends as well as idol.

After hearing May tell her the story of meeting Brianna, the woman had been skeptical of her when the two first met. Solidad was secretly a big supporter of May and Drew as a couple so she was a bit weary of anyone who could harm that relationship. The two had been watching May and Drew bickering as usual when Brianna spoke.

"So are you contestshipper?" she asked casually, looking at Solidad with a raised eyebrow. Solidad gave her a confused look.

"A what?" she asked dumbfounded as Brianna sighed, gesturing over at May and Drew.

"A contestshipper, you know a person who supports May and Mr. Drew getting together. I've been one since I saw them at a contest once." she said, smiling at the shocked look on Solidad's face.

"It's true I am a fan of Mr. Drew's and have been since I first saw him, but my feelings are only of admiration. That and we have an interest in the same kind of pokemon. Then May entered the coordinator world and I instantly became a fan of hers. It when I was watching them battle in the Hoenn Grand Festival that I sensed there was something more than friendly rivalry between them. So when I heard there was a chance both of them would be in Wisteria town, I did what any good shipper would do; set out to prove they have feelings for each other. I acted like I was a crazy Mr. Drew fangirl to see what May's reaction would be to a rival. By their blushes, I knew without a doubt those two have something between each other. Now if only Drew would stop being in denial," she said thoughtfully, placing a finger on her chin in contemplation leaving Solidad dumbfounded, this girl was good.

"So you're not in love with Drew?" questioned Solidad slowly. Brianna looked at her seriously.

"No, I believe May is the only girl for Mr. Drew," her voice was deadly serious as looked pointedly at Solidad who realized what this girl must have been thinking.

"Eww gross! Drew's like my little brother, the thought of even liking him… Why its practically incestuous!" she exclaimed in revulsion shuddering. Brianna studied her for a moment, trying to assess if the older girl was telling the truth before giving her a relieved smile.

"That's a relief." she said smiling at Solidad who grinned back at her.

"My sentiments exactly. I firmly believe Drew and May are destined to be together." she said as Brianna smiled brightly at her.

"Solidad, I think we're going to get along just fine," she said cheerfully, holding out her hand. Solidad laughed as she shook it.

"I couldn't agree more. Now how did you come up with the name contestshipping?" she asked as the two walked towards the cafeteria to talk and plot.

Solidad sighed at the memory, forcing a smile to appear on her face as Brianna's face appeared on screen. The girl was currently visiting her Aunt in Sootopolis city and was staying at the pokemon center there since there was very little room at her Aunt's place.

"Hey Solidad what's up? How's everything going, did May manage to win the contest today?" she asked excitedly. At the mention of May's name, Solidad had to fight back tears.

"Actually Brianna, I was just calling you about that, you may want to sit down for this," she sighed as Brianna's face grew concerned but she did as Solidad asked and pulled up a chair just in case.

"What's wrong? Did May loose again?" she asked worriedly and Solidad bit her lip.

"I wish it were only that my friend. May was practicing last night for the contest and well, we sort of stressed her out and she ran off," she said sadly pausing to take a deep breath. "This morning by the cliffs they found May's stuff; her clothes, her bag, everything but her pokeballs. The police said there were obvious signs of struggle and…" Solidad couldn't continue as she burst into tears.

"May's been kidnapped?!" Brianna asked, a look of absolute horror on her face, tears filling her eyes as she placed a trembling hand over her mouth to muffle her cries.

"WHAT?!" a voice shouted causing both of the girls heads to snap up. Unnoticed by either of them was Max Maple standing directly behind Brianna, his face the absolute picture of shock. He had been so excited to call his parents to tell them he had earned his last badge from Juan when he happened to see Brianna talking to Solidad. Knowing his sister was traveling with the older girl, he walked over quietly so as not to disturb the two to see if she could grab his older sister so that he could tell her the news. However he had happened to hear what Brianna just said.

"Please tell you're joking, please Solidad tell me you are. PLEASE!" he asked desperately as the older girl looked at him sadly.

"I'm sorry Max but May's been kidnapped. Your parents were about to call you," she said quietly. Max nodded numbly, not noticing Brianna guiding him into the chair, noticing the boy looked as if he was about to collapse at any minute.

"I need to call them," Max said numbly as Solidad nodded, saying a quick goodbye.

End of Flashback

The family was currently huddled together as officer Jenny talked to them, the three of them the epitome of grief. Max just couldn't believe something so horrible had happened, to his sister of all people!

"Sis," he murmured sadly as he teared up. The memory of when he got his first gym badge suddenly came to mind.

Flashback

Max waited impatiently for the videophone to contact May and finally his sisters smiling face appeared.

"Hey Max! What's up?" she asked cheerfully. In response Max grinned as he held up the balance badge.

"You beat Dad?! Oh congrats Max, I knew you could do! Oh wow your first badge!" she squealed excitedly. Max smiled for a moment before a frown appeared on his face making May look at him curiously.

"Okay tell me what's wrong," she demanded. looking at him seriously as Max sighed.

"I'm happy about getting my first badge its just, well what if Dad went easy on me just because I'm son? What if it turns outs in reality I'm a horrible trainer!" he asked exasperatedly as May looked at him thoughtfully.

"Max, I don't think Dad would have went easy on you. In fact if anything he would have been harder on you. Max, a lot of other trainers are going to think that because you are a gym leader's kid, other gym leaders will give you special treatment, so they'll probably say the same thing to you. Some gym leaders may even think you'll have the same attitude, so they're going to be tougher on you than others. But Max, you beat dad fair and square with your own abilities and your own pokemon," she said smiling at her brother. Max grinned back at her.

"Your right May, I'm just being silly," he said, rubbing the back of his head as May laughed.

"No problem Max. Listen I have to go now, but I know you'll do great!" she exclaimed, giving him a thumbs up which he returned before she waved goodbye and the screen went blank.

End of Flashback

He felt the tears stream down his face. His mother noticed this and held him close, not bothering to hide her own tears. Her husband simply placed an arm around the pair as he listed grimly to what officer Jenny was saying.

A couple rows away sat Brianna and Solidad with the others. The moment Ash heard May was kidnapped, he called up his girlfriend, Misty, at the time he was traveling Sinnoh with Dawn and Brock, as well as another friend of his whom he had met on his travel. With the exception of Max and Brock, who had met this mysterious person on their journey, no one seemed to know whom Ash had called.

Currently, Ash was a pacing, brow furrowed, looking frustrated. 'Where is he?' he thought angrily. Normally he would not be so impatient about waiting, but one his close friends had just gone missing and every second wasted was a second more May was missing.

Misty watched her boyfriend's angry pacing with sad eyes. When Ash told her May had gone missing, she hadn't believed him first. After all she had just talked to the brunette girl two days ago. She couldn't help but recall the conversation they had had.

Flashback

"Hey May what's up?" she cheerfully asked her friend. On the screen of the videophone May smiled back at her.

"I'm finally going to do it Mist!" she happily exclaimed to her. Misty frowned, looking confused.

"Do what, May?" she asked curiously. The brunette's smile widened.

"Confess to Drew of course!" she replied causing Misty grin.

"So you're finally going to tell him? About time!" she laughed, causing May to blush. The other girl huffed, crossing her arms.

"Says the girl who chose to confess to the guy she liked after five years of liking him," smirked May, causing Misty to turn pink.

"I did not choose to confess to Ash! As I recall you miss Maple locked us in a closet and refused to let us out until we confessed to each other!" she snapped.

"Hey it worked and you love me for it! " May replied sweetly. Misty rolled her eyes, holding back a smile.

"Whatever, but when are you going to confess to your rose throwing coordinator?" she said, causing May to turn pink as she fumbled with her fingers.

"After the competition tomorrow," she said softly, making Misty smile at her softly. May was practically a sister to her. After Ash had introduced them, the two girls hung out together more and were able to confide in one another.

"I wish you luck May." she said making the brunette smile.

"I'm going to go practice now, see ya Mist!" she said waving goodbye before the screen went black.

End Flashback

So engrossed in the last memory of May, Misty did not notice her boyfriend had stopped pacing and had suddenly looked up as the doors of Pokecenter opened. His voice snapped her out of her trance.

"Hey you're here, finally!" he said, walking over to the person who had entered.

"Sorry, I would have been here sooner, but I had to finish up a quick rescue mission." the stranger replied.

"Glad to see you, Jackie," he sighed wearily.

"You too, Ash," he replied smiling sadly before turning serious. "I need you to tell me everything that has happened."

Ash nodded and the two walked away, talking quietly to each other. Misty watched them wondering who this Jackie was.


"She's getting colder!"

"Someone get some more blankets!"

"Get Dr. Leon in here!"

Two pairs of anxious eyes watched as people were rushing about the outside bedroom, focusing on the figure currently lying lifeless on the bed.

"She's been like this for hours," murmured a boy with red eyes to his companion. The young man next to him clenched his fists.

"Dammit, why isn't anything working?!" he growled, silvery blue eyes narrowing as he kept them focused on the young girl, lying motionless on the bed.

"The doctors are doing all they can for her Noctis, you know that," his companion said, trying calm his friend down.

Noctis let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his raven hair. "I know Brendan, but how am I supposed to react? One minute she's fine and the next she's unconscious. And now? She's turning colder then a block of ice!"

Brendan placed a hand on Noctis's shoulder. "She'll be fine man. I mean it's not like this is the first time its happened," he said and both of them grew silent.

"Where's Gary?" Brendan asked as Noctis moved to take a seat by the bed.

"Where do you think? The graveyard of course," he sighed keeping his eyes on the girl lying motionless on the bed.

"It's been ten years huh? Is he still looking for her?" he asked quietly. Noctis nodded.

"Yeah he is," he replied, making no further comment. Brendan didn't push it. They just continued to gaze at their unconscious friend.


Mint green eyes gazed at the roaring ocean in front of her, water swirling around her feet. The moon shined brightly above her head, illuminating the raging waves in front of her.

'She's near, I can sense her,' the girl thought happily, closing her eyes. A bright light in the water approached the girl. Sensing its presence she opened her eyes, smiling.

"Go to her quickly young prince, her life depends on you," she murmured softly. There was a bell like noise in reply before the light shot off into the raging black waters below.

The girl sighed, turning her gaze back to the moon. 'It won't be long now,' she thought.
