of the tree house to see Ciel.
"Hey Ciel," I said supprise.
"Hey," he replied, "Lekty wants me to take you into town with me today."
"Uh," I said looking back at Andrew. Andrew stared at Ciel a moment and look back at me and nodded. "Okay," I continued.
I looked at Andrew once more and when I turned my head back to talk to Ciel he was gone. I ran through the door to the house trying to catch up with him. When I finally caught up he was arguing with Taela. I slowly approched them and stuck my head around Ciel.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"No-" Taela started to say when she got cut off by Ciel.
"Yes everything is fine," He said as he turned his head back to Taela, "don't worry."
"But-" Taela went on.
"It's going to be fine," Ciel said to her, "I'll be back soon."
"Okay," She said sadly.
"I love you," He said kissing her head.
"I love you too," She mumbled.
"Ready?" He asked turning to me.
"Yeah," I said, "I guess."
He walked towards the front door and I followed. We walked to a motorcycle that was black with with blue streaks on it. He hopped on and handed me the helmet. I slipped it on and got on the motorcycle too. He started it up and drove down the long drive way onto the road. We were off to the town. When we go to town he parked his bike in an alley between the book store and the bakery. We hopped off and I took off the helmet. He clipped it on the handle bar, took a deep breath, and looked back at me.
"Here we are," He said, "Cadia and all its little glory."
I took a quick look behind me to see what the town looked like, "It look nice."
"Yeah, nice is the word," he said sarcasticly as he grabbed my hand, "Lets go."
Ciel pulled me along as we went threw many stores. We went to the book store and got a book for Nevaeh, to the bakery for a muffin for Iolaus, to the outfitters to get a new pair of pants for Erik and a couple shirts for Maura. We also went to the music store for Andrew, the store with all the make up for Taela and got some black eye liner for Clea, and we went to the market to get some ingreadiants for Lekty. When we were down we went and sat down by the fountain for a break.
"Do you always have to do this?" I asked him.
"Pretty much," he answered.
"Why don't you all take turns?" I asked.
"I've always done it so I know what everyone wants," he replied.
"Oh," I said softly, "Well don't you ever get something for yourself?"
"Not usually," he said, "occasionally I go look at swords."
"I see," i said, "so you like swords?"
"I can make swords out of nothing as long I wear this chain on my neck." he replied.
"Awesome," I said amazed, "can I see when we get home?"
He hesitated for a moment as he stared off into the distance, "You may not need to wait till we get home."
Aproching was a guy with black hair, a lip ring, black eye liner, a black dog colar, green eyes, and a black jacket with fuzz around the neck. He looked like the stariotypical evil emo. The guy stood in front of us and smiled a bit.
"What do you want Zeth?" Ciel asked sturnly standing up in front of me.
"What I can't visit a friend?" Zeth replied sarcastically.
Ciel glarred at him for a moment, "Don't play games with me."
"We heard you got a new roomie at Adalentis," He said.
"Why do you care?" He asked still sounding sturn.
"Is that her?" He asked peering over Ciel shoulder.
Ciel didn't reply and just glarred at him. Zeth glarred back and then softend his face as he lifted his head up slightly.
"Why so serious," Zeth asked creepily as he smiled slightly again.
Ciel continued to glare at Zeth. He was ready to fight if it had to be done.
"Calm down presious," he said, "I'm not going to hurt either of you unless necessary."
Ciel tilted his head up a bit and softend his face a bit, "Why are you here then?"
"I'm here to talk to her," Zeth said pointing to me.
"Forget it," Ciel immediatly replied.
"And who are you exactly?" I said peering over Ciel's shoulder.
"Why sweetie," he said, "I am Zeth Denro. The best male Angel of Death there is."
"And why do you want to talk to me?" I asked.
"Well really I was just sent here to see who you were, what you can do, and if you were good to ask you to come to Manehala." He explained.
"Well," I said, "I am Holo, I am a mage who doesn't know all of her abilities yet and I will not be leaving Adalentis to come with you to Manehala, what ever that it."
"Manehala is the house my people and I live in," Zeth explained, "It is like Adalentis but better. And if you don't know all your abilities then one of our great people can help you learn them."
"Like I said," I continued, "I'm not leaving Adalentis."
He stared at me for a moment, "If this is because of Andrew then that wont be a problem. If you come he will follow."
"How did you-" I said while being interupted by Ciel.
"Zeth can go through peoples past thoughts," Ciel explained, "He just chooses to act ignorant so nobody knows."
"So what do you say Holo?" Asked Zeth, "Would you like to come to Manehala?"
I looked and Ciel and thought of everyone at Adalentis and Andrew waiting for me to get back.
"I'd like to stay with everyone at Adalentis," I said, "They took me in and gave me a home when I did't have anyone else. I don't need to learn any of my magic again. I'm fine with where I am and who I am with. I care more about Andrew than I care about my magic and what you could do to me. I'm not going with you to Manehala."
Zeth glared at me and opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and looked like he was going to scream. At that moment Ciel bent backwards with his arms spread out and his chest pushed up as he slowly started falling to the ground. As his face came to my view his eyes were completely white. I started to shead a few tears.
"What are you doing to him!?" I excalmed.
He closed his mouth and Ciel fell to the ground and gasped for air. I ran up to him and dropped to my knees. I rolled him on his back so I could see his face. His eyes were back to their pale blue selves and he seemed to be relaxed now. I looked slowly back up to Zeth. He was smirking at me.
"So do you want to come with me now?" He asked.
I looked back down to Ciel and took a deep breath, "What did you do to him..."
"I attempted to take his soul," He said, "All I have to do to suck the soul out of any one person is scream a pitch only they can hear."
My eyes widend in shock, "Theres no way you can accually do that can you?"
"I just did," he replied, "didn't I?"
"If you don't hurt him anymore," I said, "I will come with you."
"Exellent," He answered.
"But," I added, "only to see what it's like."
"Fair enough," He said.
"If I don't want to stay," I said, "I am leaving to go back to Adalentis."
"Alright," He said softly, reaching out for my hand.
I stood up and walked toward him. I took Zeth's hand and looked at Ciel. He was reaching out for me. My eye's started to water as Zeth pulled me away. I reached out with my other hand towards Ciel. He was eventually out of sight.
Chapter 4

"Here we are," Zeth said to me, looking gazefully into my eyes.
I looked away, "Let's just get this over with so I can leave."
"Alright..." he replied grabbing my hand, "Let's go."
I walked with my head down behind him. I could tell everybody was starring at me. I was filled with fear as i lifted my head to see a woman in dark, tattered clothing. She had large black wings and a long, silver staff. She looked at me with disgust.
