A/N: I know I update slowly and once again I apologize for that. Hopefully I'll be updating more often since marching band season is over and drama is temporarily over. Anyway I have some news!!!! As some of you know Mortus and I are doing a collaboration on a Sword Art Online fanfiction. I am working out some kinks with the book cover then the first chapter which is written by Mortus will be published on my account. I would love for you to check it out if you can. If the first chapter gets ten votes within ten days of it becoming public I will write 10 chapters of this book in 10 days. So anyone going to accept the challenge? Also please check Mortus out and read some of his works because they are phenomenal.  One last thing before I start this chapter. Thank you so much for 241 floptarts! It makes me so proud to see how far I've come since I've written my first fanfiction. You guys keep me going and I love all of your comments and support that you give me. You are so understanding and I am very grateful for that.  I could not ask for anything more.  Anyway here's the chappy. Enjoy!~

       The night continued on peacefully and everyone had a good time. After Soul and Dimiti got their asses ripped by Maka he stuck to me like glue and never left my side. He seemed really stressed and I made plans to talk to him later. Black*Star and Tsubaki ended up leaving early because Kid got annoyed with Black*Star's ego and kicked him out. Tsubaki apologized for his ego and seemed quite embarrassed. 

     Soul complained a lot because Maka sat in the back and read her book. She refused to dance with him. I was becoming tired and was resting my head on Dimitri's shoulder. Just as I was about ready to fall asleep there was a loud crash upstairs which quickly awakened me.

     Kid dashed up the staircase almost immediately and I quickly followed. Dimtiri was right behind me. Soul and Maka were not too far behind either.  Liz and Patty had long since passed out on the couch and didn't wake up. Once all five of us were in the hallway we decided to split up. Dimitri and I teamed up and began searching through the rooms to find the origin of the noise. 

     After searching three rooms Dimitri and I agreed that it was probably Black*Star screwing around because Kid had kicked him out but just as we were about ready to give up we saw Maka come flying out of the end bedroom holding Soul. Kid was running downstairs to get Liz and Patty but was knocked unconscious by a vase that had gotten flung as well.  

     "Dimtiri katana form now!" I snapped in a panicky tone. Dimitri quickly transformed and I caught him and had to hold him for a moment and just gaze at him. I had forgotten what it was like to hold him. His long thin blade and comfortable silver handle fit perfectly in my hand. I shook my head and dashed towards Maka and helped her stand up but was thrown back down when I felt something heavy crash into me. I fell over the balcony of the steps and hit the ground hard. The breath was knocked out of me and I heard Dimitri clash onto the stone floor with a clank. Maka was soon to follow and it took me a few moments to recover before I snatched Dimitri back up and forced myself to stand up. 

      I gazed around with blurry vision and tried to see what was happening. I felt Dimitri transform in my hands and ahead of me I saw a familiar slim figure approach. "Mother..." I groaned. I felt Dimitri's hands wrap around me painfully tight and I put my hands on his arm. "Dimtiri what are you doing" I mumbled still dazed. My mother's smirk grew wider and her eyes focused on Dimitri. I struggled to turn around to see my partner's face.

     I noticed two things that I did not notice before. Dimitri's hair color was slightly lighter than usual and his eyes were longer purple but instead they were a vibrant green. I look down and saw purple contacts by my feet and that is when realization struck. The boy holding me was not Dimitri. 

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO DIMITRI" I choked out at my mother as she continued to come closer to me. She chuckled softly and ran her finger along my cheek. "My sweet child you needn't worry about your partner. He is safe and sound in my care" I moved my cheek away and struggled in the strange boy's grasp. 

   "H-how" I whimpered as I wondered how she found someone who could mimic Dimitri's blade. My mother just shook her head. "Shhh my dear child. You shouldn't worry yourself like this. You are going to need your rest" I felt the boy's grasp around me tighten and suddenly breathing became very hard to do. I frantically looked around for someone to help me. 

      Liz and Patty were trapped underneath fallen debris and were desperately trying to get out to get to an unconscious kid. Maka was awake but she was helpless without Soul who had also fallen unconscious. My vision started to go black and my struggles ceded. The last thing I saw before losing consciousness was my mother's wicked grin.
