"I'm joking." Ariel said with a grin.

Rakan nodded and went back to doing dishes

Ariel went back to her stories.

Sakura sighed as she filled Rakans trunk with a buchof old documents and information about the old aliens and mews."okay now to go shopping for =food"

"MASHA!" ,the pink fuzz ball yelled happily.

Sakura giggeled."yes you can come",she said as she opened the door and it flew in. She then drove to the grocery store ,did her shopping then headed home makeing a stop along the way.She grabbed the flowers she had bought and entered a cemetary she walked over to a giant cherry blosom tree with a plack on the ground she sighed kneeling down and placed the flowers over the plack."hey mom...its been a while",she said softly and smiled some as Masha flew over to her and nuzzeled her. The two at insilence for a little while ,then got up and headed for the car. She stopped as an Alien with dark green hair and bright yellow eyes stood be fore her. She went to grab her pendent but froze."crap..."




Rakan streached,."there all done!"

Ariel frowned at Lori who had froze. "Lori?" she gently touched her arm.

With a jump Lori come back to herself "We have to go help Sakura." she jumped up.

Rakan lookedto them."you guys need to relax ...your all a bunch of mother hens...",he said frowing."she has her pendent andwe will be alerted if something is happening"

Sakura yelped as she dove into the bushed near but holding Masha close the aleen was fiering wildly into the shubs."Masha , go the the cabbin i was telling you about,get my pendent on the side table....and try not to wake the boy sleeping in my bed",she said ina whisper and watched as Masha flew off then getting up she started running as the alien blasted at her. She an along as fast as she could.Going flying every now and then whena blast came to close. she came to a stop at a rock ledge that dropped down into a river. Sakura bit her lip looking down."Good thing i can swim",she mutterd and jumped.

"no she doesn't." Lori cried

"How do you know?" Finx frowned

"I saw it." Lori blushed "in a vision."

Rakan blinked."a vision?",he asked then blinked hearing a noise he turned to open window as a pink fuzzing thing flew in tearing around the room in a panic."h-what the heck is that|?"

Masha then made a noise and flew up the stairs and into Sakuras room ,ignoring Sakura's request and crashed into things as he searched for the pendent, spotting it he grabbed it and flew out the window again.

Erik jumped "The hell?" he got up and limbed downstairs "Please tell me you saw that thing."

Rakan was stareing at the window ."u-uh huh....."

"That thing took Sakuras pendent." Erik frowned

"I told you." Lori sobbed.

Rakan sighed."then lets go find her",he said heading for his...."Eric im taking your car"

Kayuki frowned and ran out the door.

Finx fetched a first aid kit and followed With Ariel and Lori behind Jacob stayed with Erik.

Rakan took off for town speeding."Okay Lori,where are we headed, any idea"

Lori closed her eyes then pointed "That way."

Rakan nodded and drove faster,he then slamed on the breaks, skidding to a stop seeing the alien with dark green hair and yellow eyes in front of them.

"Well that was fast." Finx blinked.

Rakan nodded."yes...but...",he froze as the alien stared at them."what does he want?"

"To kill us?" Finx suggested.

"our blood?" Ariel shuddered

"our bodies." Lori said clutching Ariels hand.

"Or worse... our ...well you know?"Ariel said softly.

Rakan slowly turned toher."how...do you ????"

Finx sighed "We have a bigger problem."

Raman shook his head back to reality and looked back to the alien. "Hes not attacking"

"Get out and ask him." Finx glanced at Rakan.

Rakan gave a sigh."right",he sad andgot out , shutiing the door.

The alien looked to Rakan."where is the other one?"

Rakan blinked."The other one?"

Lori slid from the car and snuck towards the ledge peering carefully over the edge.
