Chapter 2
(I called this photo "Sleepy Riku")
"Thank you to Eimi, Hinoko, Mei, Riku, and Noa for fighting off the intruders!" A warm applause filled the air in the auditorium after the principal spoke. "So, girls, did you find anything about their plans?"
Eimi stood up. She was the leader of their group, after all. "Oh yes, we did. They were after..." Eimi gulped as all eyes turned on her. "ME and the royal emblems. They wanted to kidnap me and force King Kaito, my father, to give them the emblem of Aquolio. But they couldn't just break in like just now because our security was too much for them, so they went with the kidnapping-Eimi part of the plan. I don't know why they aimed for Aquolio and me first, though..." she explained, frustrated. There were a lot of gasps.
"Eimi, we're going to need to assign you, bodyguards. Is that okay with you?" the principal asked solemnly.
"We can protect her! We're her best friends, and we also helped Eimi take the intruders down too!" Noa called out.
The principal turned to Eimi. "Do you agree?"
"Yes, as long as they don't bother me," Eimi stated, then sat down.
After the speech, everyone crowded around Eimi, asking questions about the fight between the Elemental Guardians and the intruders. Eimi told them and tried to walk away. But then, a dark presence could be felt. Eimi stopped in her tracks and froze. Her sixth sense, an ability only she could have because she had the Eagle Current, alerted her of a nearby cluster of dark magic. Her friends stopped beside her, seeing her dilated eyes. Eimi whirled around and faced a shadowy and dark corner. "There is a strong source of dark magic emitting from that spot," Eimi growled, warning her friends. "Let's check it out."
"Aw, seriously?!? I wanted to go chill out after a day of brawling, and we still have work to do!" Mei pouted.
They approached the corner slowly, and then they saw an object that looked like a note. Eimi used her qi to lift the note up. They saw some notes scribbled across the yellow surface.
"It reads... ''Catch her alone and attack''. Eimi, they want to catch you! It's confirmed!" Hinoko snarled, frustrated. "But wait- did they drop down this note on purpose??"
"I don't know... But first, let's go back to our classes." Eimi sighed and ran a hand over hair blue hair.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the school, the quintet of witches was talking. "Where did I put my note to remind me of our goals? WHERE IS IT???" a witch snarled, rummaging through her belongings.
"Well, I dropped that note down on the school grounds to make Eimi and her pathetic team suspicious. Our notes will drive them straight into our trap! HAHAHA!!" the team leader conjured up a screen for the whole group to see. On the screen, images showed up. They saw Eimi and her team reading the note and uncovering part of their plan.
"Hah! Eimi better watch out later that we are going to kidnap the magical items creator and force him to give us the Power Bracelets !" another witch snickered. "I can't wait to see her suffer under our wrath again, after everything she had done to us, like telling us to the principal and kicking us out of the school!"
"Come on, girls. Let's go and drop more notes around to our trap!" the leader took off into the sky and the others took off after her, their hoods rippling in the wind.
