"You okay Garine?" Lira asked, staring at Garine who was staring out of the window, Garine turned to Lira with a smile "Yeah, I'm good bro, don't worry" Garine said then stood up to get a glass of water, Lira just watched Garine but then they were interrupted by a loud scream coming from the backyard, Lira and Garine glance at each other then ran at full speed to the backyard, when they reached the backyard they saw Constell lying unconscious on the ground and beside her was a man wearing a white polo shirt paired with pants and black shoes and over his clothes was a black trench coat and a hat "What the- Who are you?!" Lira asked demandingly with blazing eyes, the man turned to both Lira and Garine, Garine noticed that the man's eyes were different, he have yellow pupils and around it is black "Ah, finally got your attention, please call me Pyro and I am ordered to fetch you" Pyro said "Are you crazy?, of course we won't go with you, what are we five?" Garine exclaimed, Pyro let out a soft chuckle "My master saw this coming, well I'll just force you then" Pyro said with a smirk, he started walking towards them then Lira ran towards him, she jumped up holding a sword then charged it to Pyro but he just smirk and used his arm to block the attack, Lira's eyes widen then got thrown across the yard, Garine glared at Pyro with black blank eyes then charged towards pyro, she raised her hand that was bursting with dark magic then punched Pyro, it made Pyro hit his back on a tree, he groaned in pain then glared at Garine, Garine grinned then glance at Lira who was just recovering from her hit "Go check if Constell still alive" Garine said the last word jokily then turned to Pyro who was already an inch away from Garine, his hand was raised high with red crystals covering his whole hand, he then punched it to Garine's face, which cause her to be sent a few feet away from Pyro.

Garine was lying on the ground but then she sat up and leaned on her arm for support, blood dripped down her face as she panted, she raised her free hand and touched her cut, Lira clung on Constell's unconscious body but then Pyro surrounded Lira and Constell with his crystals "Seems like this little fight is done, a weakling like you can never match my powers" Pyro said then turned his back at Garine, Garine stared at the blood on her hand, she laughed which made Pyro turned back to Garine with annoyance and confusion "W-what's so funny?!" he asked with an annoyed tone, Garine stood up then looked up to Pyro with a smile on her face and her eyes change, instead of pupils it was X's and around it was just red "Never underestimate your opponent" Garine said with many voices as her hair started going wild, she raised her both of her arms then formed a dark orb then charged it to Pyro, it hit him on his stomach and made him fall to his knees and blood come out of his mouth, he grunted then raised his head and glared at Garine which just stared at him with keen eyes, "I'll be back, this isn't over yet" Pyro said then disappeared, Garine turned back normal then she fainted and all she heard was Lira running over to her and behind her was Constell rubbing her head.

Garine woke up with a splitting headache, she slowly sat up and groaned in pain as her head pounded, she looked at her nightstand and saw a plate of cookies and some hot cocoa "Woah" Garine said breathlessly as she grabbed one of the cookie then she noticed a letter under the plate of cookies, she quickly took a bite on it the just bit on it, not letting it fall, then she swiftly took the letter under the plate the unfolded it, her eyes widen when she saw it was from Grey it says:

"Dear Garine,

Lira and Constell told me about what happened so I want to let you know that be careful and don't trust the people close to you but I'm not say that you should avoid them, just be careful, I luv you.

-Grey"

Garine blushed lightly then folded the letter and careful placed it in her secret box, Garine munched on the cookie and finished it, she was about to take the cup of cocoa until the burst open which made her startled and fall off her bed (OOF LoL), Garine sat up and saw Constell standing in front of her, Constell then helped Garine up and hugged her tightly, Garine glance at Lira who was just munching on her sandwich with her head phones on, Garine smiled and hugged back.

"I'm sorry sir but I failed to retrieve the girls, this Garine you speak of is quite powerful, she seem capable of handling her powers" Pyro said as he bowed to his master, his master sat comfortable on his throne and smiled evilly "It is quite alright Pyro, you put up a quite a good fight but you should know that there is always a downside for having dark magic, soon the darkness will swallow her and make her, well let's just say, evil" the master said then laughed evilly.

The next day Constell told Rose and Taiga about what happened yesterday and were both relieved that their friends were safe.

Garine got to her class and sat on her usual spot, near the window, and gazed out of the window, Grey, who was sitting next to her, looked at her "Hey, you alright Garine?" Grey asked,Garine turned to him and smiled "Yeah I'm alright, thx for worrying" Garine said happily, Grey smiled and grabbed Garine's hand, Garine looked at him with confusion while Grey used his other hand to get something from his pocket and soon he took his hand out of his pocket, he was holding a ring, it has a ruby stone being held by snakes that bit on the stone (its not real snake just so you know some people might think of that) "Grey, what's that for?" Garine asked nervously, Grey smiled "It's a gift for you silly" he said playfully and slipped onto Garine's left index finger then kissed her on the cheek, Garine blushed as everyone said "oooooohhhhhhhhh" then the teacher entered the classroom, Grey quickly glance at Garine and winked, Garine smiled and stared at the ring.
