I woke up the next morning. It was Saturday and I slept in a little. I got out of bed and made it nicely. Luna was laying at the foot of my bed. Her red eyes stared at me as I changed into my black shirt and blue jeans. I slide my green jacket over my shoulders.

"Good morning master." Luna said once I sat down beside her.

"Morning, and you don't have to call me master. Call me Alice." I told her.

"Alright Alice." Luna replied with a purr. I patted her head then stood. I walked over to the door then stopped. Someone was outside my door.

"Alice? You a wake?" Shido asked through the door.

"Yea, what do you need?" I asked as I opened my door.

"Just want to introduce you to the others living here." he replied. Luna jumped up onto my shoulder.

"Alright." I said as he led us to the manors living room. In the living room sat three girls. Tohka was one of them. There was a younger girl with light blue hair and blue eyes. She held a rabbit puppet in her left hand.

"This is Yoshino. She is a bit shy, but she'll open up to you when she gets to know you." Shido said as he pointed to the girl with the puppet.

"H-hi..." Yoshino said shyly. He then introduced the other girl. She had pink hair tied up in two ponytails with black ribbons.

"And this is Kotori. She is my little sister." He finished.

"So your Alice? Its nice to meet you." Kotori said as she put a lollipop in her mouth.

"Hey don't forget about me!" Another voice said. I looked over at Yoshino.

"Right, sorry Yoshinon. The puppet is Yoshinon." Shido said slightly annoyed.

"Next time don't forget Shido-kun." Yoshinon said. He rolled his eyes.

"So Alice, what were you going to do today?" Shido asked.

"Um...I was going to experiment with my powers. I don't know what all I can do? If I meet Kurumi again, I want to be able to fight." I said, anger filled me as I said her name. Luna rubbed against my face.

"I'll help you." She purred. I rubbed her ears.

"If you want to experiment, you can use the Fraxinus' training room." Kotori said. I looked over at her.

"Thanks!" I grinned. She led the way when we arrived on the Fraxinus. She opened up a door and let me through. There was a huge room with training dummies.

"We use this room for sword fighting. Use the training dummies if you need them." Kotori said.

"Thanks." I replied with a smile.

Ricki POV.

Alice has been gone a week. My dad has lost it. he called me to his office today.

"Ricki, please answer me truthfully. Did you help Alice escape?" he asked. I stared at him. I should lie or I don't know what he'd do to me.

"No. I was with Angel the whole time. She started to bark once the sirens went off. I tried to help with finding her." I lied. he stared at me for a moment. He then looked at the papers on his desk.

"We need to find her." he said softly.

"Why? What is so important that you need a spirit?" I asked.

"My employers want me to...help the spirits." he slowly said.

"Who?" I asked.

"DEM industries. they have been funding our research." He replied. He then got this crazy look in his eyes. "We must find her. I got a call that my brother and his wife is dead. Alice must have went back to Tenguu city." he said, laughing slightly like an insane person.

"Send search parties to Tenguu City. Alice is there, find her and bring her home." dad said into a microphone, grinning wildly. I slowly left the room.

I have to get to Alice first to warn her. But how can I. I'm only ten? Maybe mommy will help. I began to walk to her office in the lab.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in." My mother said. I opened the door. "What do you need Ricki?"

"I was wondering if we could go to Tenguu City today?" I asked. She looked at me for a moment.

"Sure I need a day away from here." she sighed.

"Thanks mommy!" I said as I hugged her. We went to the car. For the two hour ride we were quiet. When we arrived in the city, she handed me a cell phone.

"Call me when you are ready to go home." she told me when we got out of the car. I nodded. She disappeared into the crowd around some shops.

Now how can I find Alice? I know some of the people in her class. So maybe I should find someone. I stared to randomly walk through the crowd. I wasn't really paying much attention and I bumped into someone.

"Hey are you ok?" a male voice asked. I looked up and saw brown eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine." I assured him. I studied him some more. he looked like someone from Alice's class. the wind began to gently blow his dark blue hair back. "By any chance, do you know Alice?" I asked him.

"Yea, she is a classmate. Why do you ask?" he asked.

"I'm looking for her. I have something important to tell her." I explained.

"Ok, come with me." he said extending his hand to me. A warm smile spread across his face. I took his hand and he led me to an empty ally. He moved his right hand to his ear.

"Kotori, can I get a teleport for two?" He spoke. We stood there for a moment silently. "Alright, thanks." he said after a minute.

The space around use began to waver slightly. I felt like I was flying. I closed my eyes for a second. when I opened them, we were in a metal room, standing on a circular pad.

"Follow me." the boy said. he led me through long halls and we stopped at a door. I heard something behind the door. He slowly opened it.

Alice POV.

"Alright Alice, try to shape the maple tree sapling into a sword." Luna told me. I nodded an focused on the sapling. picturing a simple sword in my head, It began to twist and turn into a sword. I held the lightweight sword and looked toward a dummy.

I jumped up and slashed at the dummy. Surprisingly the dummy fell apart.

"Wow. So I can make plants into weapons. That's awesome!" I said.

"Yes now let me teach you how to use me." Luna said. I looked at her. She was laying on a chair watching me.

"What do you meany that? I asked.

"I am your angel. You command me when you need to. First ability I want you to try is Lunar Shift." She replied.

"Alright." I said. I began to focus. "Lunar Shift!"

Luna jumped off the chair. She began to glow white. She began to grow in size. The light vanished. She was now a pure black tiger.

"That ability allows me to turn into another animal. For example, if you need a fighter I would turn into something that can fight. If you need to escape, I would turn into an eagle fir another example." She said.

"Oh...that is great!" I said as I rubbed her head. She began to purr.

"The next ability I want you to try is called Lunar Eclipse." She instructed. I nodded and began to focus again.

"Lunar Eclipse!" I Slightly yelled. Luna roared as spikes began to form all over her. Spikes grew from her tail, the top o her legs and all down her back. A bigger spike grew from her head. Her claws grew bigger too.

"This ability allows me to have a better chance in fights. Let me demonstrate." She purred.

She looked toward the dummies. She charged at them, using her claws she slashed a dummy in fourths. She jumped back over to my side.

Her eyes began to glow green. Vine shot out of the ground around the dummies. They were wrapped in the spiky vines.

"Wow Luna! That was amazing!" I said in awe.

"Now for the final ability called New Lunar." Luna instructed.

"Ok, New Lunar!" I repeated. Luna began to glow white again. She shrunk back down to her small cat self.

"Now that we covered my abilities try to discover what else you can do." Luna said taking her place on the chair.

I looked around at the trees they put in here for me. I had an idea. I focused on the leaves. Strong winds began to swirl within the room. The leaves detached from the branches and began to swirl with the wind. I motioned the leaves to the right then to the left. I made the leaves swirl in a tight tornado shape ad moved it over to the dummies. They were engulfed by the leaves. I let the leaves fall to the ground. The dummies were in shreds.

"Ok we won't use that unless we need to." I said shocked by the effect of the leaves.

"Agreed." Luna said wide eyed.
