Dawn's POV
"Ash did Serena make it home last night?!" I shout frantically running to the bus stop. On the way here I found Serena's hat and phone laying in a puddle from the late night rains. The phone somehow still worked. I also found this weird needle with a vial attached to it. I've never seen anything like it.

"What do you mean? I thought Serena was staying with you?" Ash asks concerned. "No she had to go! I think your mom called her. I found these!" I exclaim holding up the three things. "This better not be a prank Dawn." Ash says cautiously. "No of course it isn't! Ash I think Serena is in danger!" I exclaim getting a sigh from Ash.

"Dawn, I'm sure she's fine. This does worry me but I don't think anything bad happened to her." Ash reassures me. "Then explain this vial." I say showing Ash. "I'm sure it's just someone else that dropped it near her stuff." Ash says in a non caring way like he didn't care for Serena's well being. "Whatever. I'm going to look for her."

I walk away from Ash and the others who were just arriving to the bus stop. Something must've happened to her. She couldn't have just disappeared for no reason whatsoever. I'm going to find her. Even if Ash doesn't think anything bad has happened to her. "Dawn wait." Ash calls and I hear him running towards me.

"You gonna help me or what." I question and Ash sighs. "Let's go to school. If she's still missing by the time we get home we will look for her. For now don't panic anyone." Ash suggests and I frown. "Fine." After I tell Ash that we both walk back to the bus stop. Why we couldn't look for her now I don't know..

Serena's POV
Unknown Location
It's hard to move.. Something is holding me down.. 'Why can't I sit up.. Where am I..' I whisper in my head and I open my eyes slowly. It's dark wherever I am. I just lay down until my eyes adjust to the pitch blackness.. when they do adjust I can see ropes tied around my ankles and just above my knees. I look over my shoulder and see ropes tied around my wrists and partly over my hands.

I then realize that there's some sort of cloth in my mouth tied around my head. 'Seriously.. He gagged me.. I can't even talk!' I try to sit up but find it nearly impossible. I hear footsteps coming and I close my eyes to act like I'm still out from the Angel Poison. "Oh princess.. how I've missed you.." Alain hisses in his evil voice.

"It's time you woke up from this.. wake up Princess.." Alain says putting his finger under my chin sending a sharp pain through my head jarring my eyes open. "So you were awake.. it's not a good idea to pretend you were still under the influence of that.." Alain whispers into my ear sending shivers down my back.

I glare at him and struggle as much as I can. "Oh stop struggling. It's useless!" Alain yells scaring me enough that I follow his orders. "Good girl. Let me just take this out of your mouth. You can't speak. For now.." Alain whispers again pulling the gag out of my mouth. "I bet you are wondering why I brought you here." Alain tells me with his evil voice.

"You see, I just missed you so much Princess.. I'm known as the prince of death.. I'm also looking for a princess.." Alain keeps explaining and I keep trying to push away with every single word that he says. "Alain. Stop playing with our weak little guest." A girl with a familiar voice says. I look to my left and see someone walking towards us.

When she comes into the light my eyes narrow. It's Rachael.. "Hello there Angel of Life. Rachael says with disgust. "I can't believe I thought that you were a human for a few weeks. I should have known. Only one being I've seen has blue eyes such as yours. And that's you." I turn away from Rachael telling her I'm not listening.

"Listen here miss perfection. You are mine now. No one will ever find you. I have a proposal for you. I can give your voice back. Alain tell her the catch." Rachael says grabbing the ropes around my wrist and slamming me against the cage I was in knocking the air out of me. "If you want your voice back, you have to convert to an Angel of Death and become my Princess of Death.

I narrow my eyes at Alain and shake my head. I wanted nothing to do with being an Angel of Death. Not to mention being the princess of them. I wouldn't do anything to go against my home no matter what. My voice was not worth going to their side. It doesn't matter if it's Alain telling me.

Alain scowls at me and stands up. "Have it your way." He growls throwing a vial on the ground. 'That has to be the thing to get my voice back..' I whimper to myself and then the lights are shut off, leaving me in the pitch black of wherever I was being kept..

In a post on my conversation I said weekends I wouldn't write. However I was almost finished with this chapter so here you go. I'm hoping to get to the Christmas chapters around Christmas. The Halloween chapters are soon. After what's currently happening in the story. and quickly followed by a Thanksgiving (single) chapter after something big happens, after that I want the Christmas Arc to be 3-5 chapters long.
