They were giggling? What a strange situation to be in... And so, there was a boy eavesdropping on the band of giggles they gave. That was so sudden for them to laugh just like that. It was harder to believe when he witness everything...

"I must save his secret! She must not know of her father!", The boy was thinking this all in the head. "If she does it will spoil his plans!"

He rushes to open the door which was so unwittingly unlocked for some reason. The door creaked and he is frozen for her beauty this night. She was pretty for some girl who lost a father...

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... OH! Who are you now?!" The man in black robes says. He jumps up in surprise! "You have found my secret LAIR!" A secret lair? more like a town person's holiday cottage...

He throws a bag at his face! And my oh my! Would you guess what happens next... the man's face is full of powder and he can't see anymore. Well, for the moment of course...

"Let's go!" The boy shouts at Phemie. She gasps at the fact that she's not in ropes anymore. It's just like they disappeared somehow. The boy grabs her hand and they run away!

Through the thousand gloomy homes and dusty streets they run! The sounds of crows and thousands of crickets were loud. Phemie starts to feel dizzy... "H-hey... " She collapses "Wh-who are you?..." and she closes her eyes. Everything was simply too fast for her. The boy was in trouble.

"Hey!! I-I'm Emmett!" He catches her "I...?" Her eyes are not open and he notices..." geez... She fainted!"

"What are you doing running with a girl in the middle of the night...? And in your arms for that matter..."

Emmett was familiar with that voice. It was "Miranda! Oh! Ah... I..." His face is red with embarrassment. 

"But, Doesn't this mean I was right? Emmett?" She says "My candles were right..."

"What are you talking about? Oh... wait. Those candles whose fire formed symbols?"

"Remember what I said Emmett?" She turns to her sitting ritual pose and the whole place turns dark until the only light was her candle -which ,of course , appeared out of nowhere- and the lamp post where Emmett was standing. The candle formed this really weird symbol. "You will meet a girl in midnight and you will fall in love with her. There is no escape from this and it is Omni-Inevitable."

Everything goes back to normal. "What on earth is Omni-Inev.. pffah?!" Emmett looks so confused.

"I made that up Emmett." She giggles "But my candles tell she lives in the Outlan..." "THE OUTLANDS?!" Emmett was so much nearer to Miranda this time. His face was so close-up she had to squint out of reflex!

"Whoa! My... For a town boy you act so... um... " She looks at him as if she was asking him what word she was finding for...

"ROWDY?!" He says (well, more like screamed). "Juvenile" She says... "I think you should bring her there quickly to a cottage west of the Sunflower Fields . My candles say her mother's a nurse." For Emmett, the word juvenile wasn't even in his dictionary.

Phemie woke up a bit... "Hey! I was just kidnapped! Don't tell me your gonna do it too!!" Emmett laughs a bit. "What's so funny?!" He just kept on laughing.

"Is it my face?!" She shouts and he laughs more! "Your face was so priceless!!!" He shouts back. Their voices echoed through the the city but no one woke... Suddenly it was dawn! It was supposed to be a long night...

"LOOK OUT!!!" Phemie had to let out the scream! The sun has risen half-way and the birds flock and frolic. They sky is full of shades of pastels and before they knew it they were in front of this man in a black leather coat.

and just as this man took away his leather coat, the cobblestone stairs to the rest of the town took away all it's dust. All the pebbles were shining and full of luster and just like the mans cape which overturned as he wore it again. The overturned coat is shiny white with gold bits. The flowers bloomed fully in between pebbles.

Phemie was so surprised. From a dusty night of kidnapping to meeting a man in dashing robes as the sun suddenly dawns. She totally thought this moment could change her life. Emmett was not surprised but rather worried.

What could make make him so worried at a moment like this?
