Ryan and Sabertooth walked with Maria, Amanda, and Cara to the memorial service being held for Jonas. Both felt a little uncomfortable due to the fact that both of them had tried to kill him in the past. Ryan hadn’t had a lot of time to get to know Jonas but what she did know of him she liked. He was so loyal and protective of his friends especially Sammi.
Ryan was having a hard time accepting his death. It was something she went through when people died around her. She had lost two good friends just this year and it was killing her to lose another. In her mind he still wasn’t dead and would come back. It had happened with Athena so why not someone else?
The group stopped by Bobby’s room to see Athena and him walking out. Ryan went and put her arm around Athena. She knew this had to be hard on her. Teb and Angelo walked up shortly after and the group walked over to memorial. Each person walking as slowly as they could. Ryan thinking that if she didn’t make it there then it wasn’t true and he wasn’t dead.
Sabertooth looked at Ryan and began to think back to how he felt when he thought she was dead. He didn’t envy the pain Sammi must be going through. Losing someone you love was the hardest thing in the world. He didn’t know what he would do if he ever lost Ryan.
Amanda had been talking to Ryan telling her that she didn’t want Sabertooth to go with them after Sinister. This broke Sabertooth from his thoughts.
“You can’t stop me from going frail. I ain’t leaving Ryan alone. “
“Victor please this is something I need to do on my own.” Part of Ryan wanted him to go because she felt safe with him. Another part was scared that if he went something could happen to him as well. She didn’t want him to die too.

The service was short, but the emotions felt were strong. How do you say good bye to someone you've only known a short time, but who already meant so much? Amanda was asked to speak because Sammi had left to say her personal goodbye. It was the most difficult thing Amanda had ever done.
"What do you say when a friend leaves too soon? We've only known Jonas such a short time, but in life, a short time might as well be a life time. He brought a warmth into our lives that can't be replaced. He could make us laugh with his inability to land or he could drive us crazy with his teasing. Although some of you may not know this, he did a great chicken impression."
"The most important thing was that he was our friend. He was someone who cared about our feelings and was cared for in returned. I don't think he was as happy at home as he was here, but , like so many of us, there was something he was missing at home that he found here. I believe that Jonas would not want any of us to regret being here and meeting. I think he would want us to be glad that we had the chance to meet and make such strong relationships. He was proud to be a member of this team. He cared about every one of us. If we remember to live and love life as he did, then we will keep his memory alive no matter what happens. Until we meet again friend, goodbye."
Amanda heard the other say their goodbyes. Amanda wished that she could have thanked Jonas for caring about her. She didn't have many friends. Most people didn't try to break down her barriers. He did. He didn't let her run away from her responsibility or her heart. She would always be grateful for that.
"Goodbye, Jonas. I won't fail you again." she whispered as she return to the house.
A.C.
Athena thought about Amanda's words at the memorial service. The more those words ran through her mind, the more determined she felt.
"Bobby, I have to find Amanda. I'll see you in the mansion." She kissed his cheek and headed in the direction she had seen Amanda take.
She had to be sure if Vision-X was going to face Sinister, that she would be part of it. She had the feeling that if she didn't act quickly, Bobby and Hank would have her neatly sedated again.
/Surely there has to be some way for me to help./ she thought.

Teb and Angelo walked up to where most of the teammates were meeting up after the memorial service. Ryan and Maria looked up.
"Hey Teb."they said it with rather sad, respectful voices.
"Hi." Teb said in a similar tone. The death of Jonas brought back some very sad memories for her. one of her good friends was shot in a gang banging during one of their painting outings one night, and he died in her arms. She got sick, and seeing Jonas like that, he was one of the only teammates she had a conversation with. She was always with Angelo, or was interrupted.
~~~~~last night~~~~~
That night she and Ange were sitting on the lawn talking. Teb was crying, something she never does, and she was picking at the grass
"It’s not fair Ange. Why do all my friends have to die? They were good people, all of them, Carlos used to donate food to homeless shelters. He was a good guy. J-J-Jamie used to sing. She had such a pretty voice. Why did they have to die??!?! WHY? Cause they were in the wrong place at the wrong time?? LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO JONAS!!! That could happen to me, to Sammi, to Cara, to anyone. WHY? What did I do? What did he do that was so wrong? All he did was love people. That’s all he did. ITS NOT FAIR!"
Teb was becoming hysterical and she started stabbing(?!?) at the ground.
"I WISH I WOULD HAVE DIED INSTEAD! AT LEAST JONAS WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO THE TEAM. at least...at least.."
"Shhhh shhh..." Angelo grabbed Teb into a hug and rubbed her back. "Chica," he said and lifted up her head "Chica, look at your hands..."
Teb looked down at her hands. they were metal! they were metal spikes.
"Oh my g-."
~~~present~~~
"I have something to show you guys." she said as she took her right hand out of the pocket of the grey hoodie she wore. She formed her hand into a metal spike, then into a battle ax shape. Then back into a hand and put it back into her pocket.
The others nodded. They didn’t overreact. It wasn’t the time or the place to. Teb looked absolutely miserable, and she was. She nodded back to them.
"Guess my powers aren’t so useless." she said and walked away from them and up to her room.

Ryan was getting into her battle suit. Soon, she and the rest of Vision X were going to face Sinister. Victor had flatly refused to stay behind. He was not going to sit around at home and wait to find out she was dead. Victor felt his heart twist in his chest. He knew that she would be leaving him if she did live through this.
The chance of her dying though was high, especially with the little surprise Sinister had in store for them. He briefly debated telling them about what he knew but figured him being there could prevent most tragedies. Just to be safe Victor was going to be sticking close to Ryan. She really was the only one he cared about….ever.
“I really think you should let me do this alone.” She said looking into his eyes.
“ I can’t do that frail. “ He said stepping closer to her and kissing her tenderly on the lips.
The two walked down to the hanger to meet up with the rest of the team.
Maria was already waiting for everyone. She looked nervous.
“We are going to be fine.” Maria told herself.
Athena and Bobby entered the hanger next. Bobby’s face spoke worlds of worry and you could see the tear stains on his face.
“Please don’t go.” Was all he could say.
Le Fae
Teb got into her suit and pulled her hair into a pony tail.
"I'm gonna go down stairs now, Ange."
Angelo was sitting on the bed, watching Teb get ready. He didn’t want her to go, but he knew she had to.
"Good luck, chica." Ange said, and pulled her into a hug.
Teb hugged back and they stood there for a while.
"C'mon, lets go downstairs."
"Ok, chica."
"Ange?"
"Si?"
"I love you."
"Si, me too."
Teb and Angelo walked downstairs.

"You do not have to do this alone." Charles informed Amanda, as they talked in his study. Vision X was do to leave at any moment and he had wanted to talk to her alone.
"Your faith in us is encouraging." Amanda teased.
“I only want you to reconsider this. The X-men have faced Sinister many times and we have never completely defeated him. You do not have enough experience to handle him on your own." informed Xavier.
"We'll have Sabertooth, so that will make up for experience." Replied Amanda sheepishly.
"What!" exclaimed Xavier.
"He said he would raise hell if he did come, and this is the first time I think he's ever cared about anything. He can also give us more inside information about Sinister then any X-men. Besides, I warned him that if he screws any member of my team, he'll think he's Scooby Doo for the rest of his life."
Charles was about to complain and then stop. He knew she had made up her mind and nothing would change it. She was as stubborn as he was. It was one of the reasons he love her.
"Promise me you'll be careful." he asked.
"I will be. We're all coming home from this one."
"Which home will that be?" he asked.
"I don't know," Amanda replied, "You do know I love you, right? I just want to be sure that we're clear on this fact."
Charles held out his hand and she took her place on his lap. Slowly he lowered his head and kissed her gently. She return the kiss with everything in her. She knew that some how, some way, she would find him again.
"I love you..... You better go." Charles stated as he let her go for possibly the last time.
Amanda smiled one last time and left to join her team.
A.C.
As the others headed for the memorial, Sammi walked outside and into the woods. She found the spot she was looking for. It was the tree that Jonas knocked down the night they had their first talk. She sat down with her back resting in the tree and remembered what it felt like to be in his arms. The feeling of being protected and how right it felt. She realized now that he was her soul mate, and that no matter what, someday they would find each other again.
Sammi believed in reincarnation and knew that some day they would be together again. She looked up to the sky and said," Goddess, if your listening, can you see to it that we find each other soon. I'm not whole without him. I need him."
Sammi heard a small laugh, it sounded like bells. Then there was a tiny voice that said," She's always listening. Your one of her favorites."
Sammi turned to see a small fairy hovering next to her. "Who are you?" She asked when she got over her shock. The fairy laughed again and said," I'm Harmonia. Daughter of Aphrodite and I'm your guardian."
"Aphrodite? The Goddess?" Sammi asked.
She knew about that Gods and Goddesses, they were part of her religion. While she was living in the mall she use to go to the book store a lot and one day she found a book on Wicca and she read it and soon began practicing the ways.
For anyone who didn't know about Wicca, she was just a witch, but to those who know, she a person who in a sense became one with the earth. The Gods and Goddesses are a big part of it and they each have different jobs, so to speak and Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love and Marriage.
"Yes. And as I said, she always listens to you." Harmonia said.
How did you become my guardian, Harmonia?" Sammi asked looking at the little fairy.
She was beautiful with golden blond hair the color of the sun and a white dress that seemed to pick up all of the colors in the world.
"Please, call me Harmony. And I became your guardian when you were born in this life. I'm the one that helped you find that book on Wicca and when I did that I started you on your way home. As I have in all of your lives. You were one of the few true pure hearted witches and you were always a favorite of the Gods." She said smiling. "By the way I like the blue, this time. It fits you better."
Sammi touched her streak and said,"This time?"
"Yes, the strip of white in your hair has come to you in all of your lives. Its is a mark of the Gods so they could find you in all of your lives." She said giggling. "They did that after, the one time you were born a twin and they couldn't tell you two apart at first, so when they did they marked you with that streak so that it didn't happen again."
Sammi giggled a little just picturing Zeus or any of the other Gods trying to tell a set of twins apart. When she stopped giggling, she looked at Harmony and said," Why are you here now?"
"I'm allowed to visit you a few times in your live and I felt I needed to be here now. I have to tell you something." Harmony said as she landed on Sammi's knee.
"What do you have to tell me other than I have been bonded by the Gods and that I'm one of Aphrodite's favorites?" Sammi asked.
If she was home when this happened she wouldn't have believed it but being that she was in a world where the X-Men are real she could believe anything.
"My mother and the other Gods wanted me to tell you that your destined will be back. They hate to see you hurt, so they thought that you could use this to help yourself." Harmony said sitting down. She knew if this was taken like the other times she visited her she would be explaining.
Sammi looked at her and asked, " My destined? You mean we are Soul mates? Ok, talk. I think there is more than what you are telling me."
Harmony smiled and said, "Because it is written in your destiny."
"But how do you know that Jonas will be back?" Sammi asked as she processed all of the information.
"I just do. Trust in the Gods. Besides, if he doesn't your gonna start busting some skulls." Harmony said.
"I think you have been assigned to me for to long, your starting to talk like me." Sammi said with a smile, "Is there anything else I should know? "
"Because of your love you are also a healer. You can heal anything. With that power you have to be careful. Look into the person’s heart and if it is true then it will work, but if the heart is not true it won't." Harmony said starting to lift off. "Oh, also Jonas is not going to look the same but you will know it is him by his eyes. They have never lied to you in the past and they won't now. Also, Logan is you father, from all of you lives. He got lost on this one but now you have been brought together. And remember, My mother, all of the Gods and I are taking care of you. There will never be anything you can't handle. Stay true to your heart, you'll need its strength later."
And with that Harmony was gone. Sammi woke up when she heard a twig snap. She smelt the air and said," Hi, Logan."
"How you doing, darlin'?" Logan asked as he sat down next to her.
"I must have fell asleep. Would you believe I just had a fairy explain my life to me?" Sammi said looking at him and remembering what Harmony said about him being her father. She shook her head, and thought, /I really have to stop having these dreams, they keep getting weirder and weirder./
"After everything, yes I would. Do you want to go in?" Logan asked.
Sammi remembered what she realized in the danger room and said, "Yes. I have to work in Hank's lab. I have to find the device that Anon used to kill Jonas. Sinister had to have put it in us when he injected us as a sort of escape clause if we got in his way. Do you want to help?"
"Sure Darlin'" Logan said as they got up. He looked down at the tree trunk and asked,"Did you do that?"
Sammi looked down and saw carved in the trunk was a heart and inside it said 'Sammi and Jonas Forever. So Mote It Be.'. She looked at Logan and said, "I think a little fairy did it." She smiled as they walked back to the house.
~In the med lab~
Sammi was leaning over one of the microscopes studying something when Hank walked in. When he saw her he also pasted out but it was the next person that made him go speachless. In all of the years that Logan has been an X-man he was never in the medlab unless someone was hurt and Sammi looked fine for someone who just lost a loved one.
"Hay, Hank?" Sammi said not even looking up. "Can you come here and see if I'm right about this?" She asked as she heard him come towards her.
"What are you looking at?" He asked looking into the microscope.
"Blood. I need to see if you see anything unusual in it?" Sammi said looking at Logan as he was looking at the different bottles that Hank had in one of the cabinets.
"I really don't see......." Hank started to say but cut himself off as he found what seemed to be an odd cell. On the slide that he had there were two so if this was in a human there could be over a billion. "There's an odd looking cell. Is that what your talking about?"
"Yes Hank that is exactly what I'm talking about. Those extra cells are what make us vulnerable to Anon. That is, they helped her to kill Jonas the way she did. Now We have to find a way to make it not affect us." Sammi said as she heard the beeping of the DNA reader. "I'll get that." She said as she walked over to the machine and took the paper out and looked at it.
Hank couldn't stand it anymore. He had to know. "Sammi, How did you know how to work that machine and How did you know that the odd cell is what helps Sinister?"
Sammi looked up at Hank and simply said, "I'm an idiot savant."
"Really, How?" Hank asked. He had never met one before, people had called him one but if he was he wouldn't be in the lab almost 24/7. They always fascinated him. Someone who just pick everything up at the drop of a hat.
"I read alot. Actually anything I could get my hands on and because of my photographic memory I can remember all of it in a second. I'm a killer at trivia games." Sammi said looking back at the paper, she said, "This is amazing. Hank can you read this over for me I'm not sure I'm reading right." She brought the paper over to Hank and he looked at it.
"The specimens are a positive match. What is this?" He asked as he looked at the read out. "It looks like DNA but whose?"
"Hank, you better sit down." Sammi said and turned to Logan and said,"You, too."
"What is this Samantha?" Hank asked again.
"That's mine and Logan's DNA. I tested its paternity and you read the results." Sammi said quickly.
"In English, Darlin'." Logan said as he watched Hank's face drop and he knew that if you could see his skin it would be white.
"In English, I'm really your daughter." Sammi said as she looked at him.
"How can that be?" Logan asked.
"I have no clue." Sammi and Hank said at the same time.

"Does it truly matter, Logan? It was kinda of obvious if you thought about it." replied Amanda from the doorway.
"You don't seem surprised." stated Sammi.
"Neither do you." Amanda replied.
"Am I the only one who is confused here, my young companions?" questioned Hank.
"Probably, Hank, but if you think about it, nothing that has happened should be surprising now. That is assuming, you have visitors from alternate realities visit all the time." Stated Amanda.
"Why are you here, anyway?" asked Sammi.
"I wanted to see if you were alright. I know you went out on your own and I wanted to make sure you didn't do something you might regret later. When I sensed your presence here I came here."
"I'm fine, considering." Sammi informed.
"I know."
"I hate having people running around in my head." Informed Sammi.
"I know it something you share with your Father."
"Will someone explain what is going on?" demanded Logan.
A.C.
Sammi went and sat down next to Logan. He looked at her and said,"Darlin' explain."
"Ok. Plain and simple. I'm your daughter, literally. The DNA test proved it. I'm your biological daughter." Sammi said hopping he got it now.
"Really? How?" He asked looking at Hank and Amanda and then back to Sammi.
"That is what I don't have the answer for. Its the biggest puzzle I have ever tried to figure out and the most important pieces are missing, But my gut is telling me that Sinister is behind it, all the way." Sammi said looking at Amanda.
"I really have a daughter?" Logan asked looking at Sammi but this time adding the fact that she is his daughter and he saw her in a different light. He grabbed her and gave her a bear hug that lifted her off the ground. And when you consider that She is taller than him this is a great feat.
"Dad.. I'm happy, too. But I need to breath, ya know." Sammi choked out as he squeezed her.
"Sorry, darlin'." Logan said as he released her.
"No prob. Dad. I like saying that." Sammi said as she looked at him.
"I like hearing it." Logan said.
"Ahem." Hank said as he cleared his throat. Everyone turned and looked at him. "Considering this new development, maybe more tests are in order." He said reading over the DNA report again.
Sammi looked pleadingly over to Amanda. Amanda remembered how she reacted in the medlab when Hank mentioned blood work.
"We were getting ready to leave, maybe we can do this later." Amanda said smiling at the relieved Sammi.
"Oh, wait. Amanda, I found something. Come here." Sammi lead her over to the microscope and showed her the new cell.
"Is there anything we can do to stop it from working?" Amanda asked.
"I've been trying a few things but nothing yet. And I think it would be better if we went afer Sinister, when we had the cell neutralized." Sammi said and then looking at Logan and Amanda and seeing that she lost them. She said,"We should wait until we can stop it and everyone has been given the shot for it."
"How long?" Amanda asked.
"I think with Hanks help maybe by tomorrow." Sammi said.
"Ok." Amanda said looking like she thought she was loseing time.
"Amanda, Sinister is going to expect something after Jonas's death, but He won't expect us to wait. It will be a surprise. Also as I do this I need all of the telepaths, we need to shield all of us from Anon. Especially after what she did to Jonas."
jubilee_79
Amanda was not as happy as the others about waiting. When she had informed the others she had sensed their relief. She was the only impatient one. She knew Sinister was planning something and waiting would give him time to achieve it.
The other reason was that Amanda knew their time was winding down and it was getting harder to be around Charles and not lose it. She constantly thought about their night together. She could not imagine leaving him and her friends. It was just easier to leave now before anything happened.
She had gone outside to avoid being around everyone. She had sensed the concern that Cara, Sammi, and Charles felt. They all thought that she was on the verge of a breakdown. It was possible they were right. She found a secluded part of the grounds and let it all out.
No one had seen her show after the one meeting. She had been glad. Her psychic weapons were beautiful before they connect with something. They glimmered with colors that could only be found in one’s imagination. Once they connected with an object, they released such power that the sight looked like something one would see on a battlefield.
She didn't hold back. She used her psychic bow to swipe at anything around her. Each blow releasing a wave of energy that disintegrated any object it touched. By the time she had released all the pain and frustration, there was nothing left to the once peaceful scenery. All that remained were charred skeletons of what was.
Amanda fell to the floor, all her energy depleted. All the angry, self defeating thoughts remained in her head, louder then before.
"I didn't know you were capable of that."
A.C.
Sammi stepped out of the med lab and walked up to the kitchen. She needed a drink and a strong one. She looked in the cabinets and then she found what she was looking for. She opened the bottle and took a sip. She hadn't had a shot of vodka since the party. She shivered as she remembered.
"Man, I miss you Jonas." She said to no one particular, but she got an answer.
"Everyone does." Said the voice.
Sammi turned to see Teb and Angelo in the door way.
"Si, chica. We all miss him. How you dealing?" He asked as he sat down at the table.
"As well as can be expected. But I'm haunted by a really weird dream. Oh, did you hear the news?" She asked changing the subject.
"What news?" Another voice asked from the doorway.
Sammi turned to see Ryan and Creed there. She jumped a little and said,"That is really goin' to take alot to get use to." She shook her head and said," Well, my news is that I found my father."
"Wow, really?" Teb said as she got up and gave her a hug. Sammi was a little taken back, but she hugged her back.
"How, chica?" Angelo asked.
"That's the strange part, a fairy told me about it in my dream and I thought I would run a DNA test in the lab and it came back positive." Sammi said as she looked at their faces she added,"I told you I have been having really weird dreams."
"You’re the runt’s cub, ain't ya?" Creed asked.
Sammi looked at him and said,"Would you please refrain from calling him runt while you are in this house, Mr. Creed?"
"Sammi don't mind him." Ryan said throwing Creed and look that said 'Be nice.' She turned back to Sammi and asked," Is Logan your father?"
"That's the other strange part, he is." Sammi said shaking her head." I don't get it. I just don't understand how?"
"I know we'll get some answers. We all will." Teb said. Sammi looked at Ryan and then Teb and said, "Thanks."
Sammi looked at Teb's clothes, and she remembered when she was younger and she use to be a tagger. She wore almost the same clothes. So she asked," Are you a tagger?"
Teb looked shocked for a moment and then said,"Yep. How did you know?"
"I used to do it myself, a few years ago. As a matter of fact a few of my tags are still in San Fran. Except the ones that they painted murals over, but I did most of those, so I guess I'm still all over San Fran." Sammi said with a smile.
Teb looked at her and then to Angelo and said ,"I like her." Angelo came over and gave Teb a hug and smiled at Sammi and said,"She definitely knows how to get a point across."
Sammi smiled and finished her shot and said, "Well, I better get back down there or Hank is gonna start looking for Jimmy Hoffa." She smiled as Ryan, and Teb laughed. Sammi looked at Creed and Angelo and because of their confussed looks she started to laugh too.
jubilee_79
Ryan snuggled her body a little closer to Victor’s and played with the blonde hair that covered his chest. Sabertooth once again wanted to laugh at the image of him snuggling. This girl had definitely changed his life and now she was leaving. He pulled her a little closer to him.
“I want you to stay close to me tomorrow frail, I don’t want you to run off on your own.” Victor said running his fingers up and down her bare arm.
“I can take care of myself. I’m a big girl now Daddy.” Ryan said in a mock joking tone.
“This ain’t a joke girl. I am not going to lose you.”
Ryan lifted her head and looked in his eyes. She almost saw tears but he was still too tough to show them. Kissing his lips she placed her hand on his heart and felt the beat.
Looking into his eyes once more she said, “When I leave promise me that you’re not going to lose this.” Gesturing down to his heart, “I know everyone says you are a heartless killer but your not and I don’t want you to ever start believing you are again.”
Victor looked down to her small hand on his brood chest. She truly believed in him and saw him as something better then what he ever thought he could be. He looked into her eyes and thought, “I would be anything she wanted me to be just for those eyes.”
Le Fae
Teb and Angelo rummaged through the drawers.
"GOT THE MARSHMALLOWS!" Teb yelled.
"Got the graham crackers." Ange called.
Leilee walked in. "what are you two doing?"
Ange smiled pulled out a handful of candy bars that were hidden behind the healthy cereal. "making smores chica, wanna join?"
Teb rummaged through the silverware drawer and pulled out a handful of cheesy Chinese takeout chopsticks. "These should do it."
Leilee laughed as they piled their ingredients around the toaster.
"Don’t tell me." Leilee chuckled. "Roasting marshmallows over a not so open fire?"
Teb laughed and stuck a marshmallow on a chop stick "Haha, we did this the first time I was here."
The three laughed and pulled up around the toaster.
"Hmmm, my marshmallow is burning."
"Chica, that’s when it’s the best."
"Trade ya marshmallows."
"Si, you gotta deal."
Teb smiled and gave Ange a kiss, just as her overly cooked marshmallow caught on fire.
"oh sh**"
Leilee couldn’t stop laughing at the two.
Teb blew out her marshmallow and stuck it on a graham cracker and gave it to Ange.
"Gracias."
They finished their smores without too much more commotion. and the toaster only got a little marshmallowy.
"My word child... What have you done to our toaster?"
Teb looked up from her giggling fit at Storm.
"Um.." Teb and Leilee gave each other a look.
"ANGE DID IT." they both said at the same time and darted out of the kitchen.
"Yer gonna pay for that chica" Ange yelled and ran after Teb out of the kitchen.

Cara stared across the water of the sea, watching it glimmer and sparkle in the light of the new dawn. The sun had not yet come up, but the birds were already awake, singing and greeting the new day. It was such a beautiful scene, so peaceful and calm, Cara couldn't believe that it was the same place where she had almost plunged to her death just a few hours ago.
The breeze was cool as it brushed against Cara's face...she shivered, but it wasn't from the cold of the wind...it was from the cold within. Her veins felt like they were filled with ice...she couldn't get warm no matter what she did. It had been one of the longest nights of Cara's life.
She had spent the remainder of the night on the cliff, sitting with her back to a tree, and staring across the ocean. She had spent the night alone; she couldn't take the concerned, worried looks of her friends. She knew they cared, but she couldn't take the fact that what was happening to her was causing them pain, especially after what happened to Jonas. The memories of their pain filled faces at the memorial service slashed at her heart...and left her no piece of mind.
Cara's eyes glistened with tears as she remembered Jonas' death, and remembered how helpless she felt...Suddenly Cara's eyes hardened, and she wiped away the tears. She had come to a decision.
Cara stood up, and walked over to the edge of the cliff, her red eyes glowed dangerously and her face was hard and cold as ice.
"I have always tried to be a peacemaker because, for me, life has always been too short to waste on making trouble. But now, I feel differently. For Jonas, and for my friends, I will fight, no matter what the cost. Watch out Sinister, for we are coming for you. And we will win." She said coldly. Cara paused, then added, "I know you're out there Anon, and I know you can hear me. I am coming for YOU!!!"
Cara turned, and began to walk through the forest, in the direction of the mansion.
*****
~Sinister's Lair~
Anon's silver eyes glistened behind her mask, and she smiled. /Ah, Cara, a challenge? I accept...I will be waiting, little one./
