take over Sakeno
she left him. Then yours and Alaina's father came along and your mother had you both.Weston killed your father
two days after the pair of you were born."
"Your father was a great man,Jayna, He changed Sakeno."Kelsie said.
"Who was he?"Jayna and Jayke asked at the same time.
"Sergio Tidebreaker. A remarkable man, It was such a loss to all of Sakeno when he was murdered."
"Wait! We had a whole chapter on him in History,it said that he was murdered by an unidentified person or persons."
Jayke said.
"That's because the investigation was still going on about who murdered him,Weston did a pretty good job of
covering up."
"Ma'am, were in Seattle. Do you want me to drop you off here?" Denmark told Jayna.
"Thank you Denmark, yes we'll get out here."

They got out near some tall tower that was called the space needle.They shrugged their shoulders
and started to follow Jayna, the streets kept getting nastier and the buildings looking more rundown
than they'd ever seen.Jayna stopped at the worst building of them all and Jayke saw movement in the window.
All of a sudden someone came running around the side of the house screaming,"You rich people, you can't have
this building its all mine!" Jayna was about to respond when everything went black and she was falling.

When Jayna awoke Jaykes face was leaning over her looking worried in the dim light.She gasped and
sat up a little too fast and almost toppled out of bed.Jayke caught her and smiled,"Its okay.Theres nothing to be
so surprised about."
"What..What happened?"Jayna asked,her voice sounding raspy.
"You fainted when Mayze came around the side of the building.I guess the feeling of your sister on him hurt you."
"That was only half of what will happen when I meet Alaina. I really need to prepare for her."
"I'm just glad your okay,"He said and kissed her.
Mayze walked in then,"Hey.Let me get things straight, Your my moms twin sister and my aunt?"
"Yes, I am." Jayna said.
"You look a lot like her. So, I guess I'm gonna have to beleive you.Your friends are in the other room, and
I'm sorry about you fainting I hope it wasn't my fault."
"Don't worry I'll be fine,I just have to get used to my talent,It hurts me sometimes.Last time it wasn't as strong."
Jayna got up and stumbled, Mayze got to her before Jayke did, even though Jayke was closer.
"What...What was that?" Jayke asked.
"Eh? Oh,that was my talent I'm a shifter like my father but I also got speed."
"Wow." Jayna breathed.
"A double power? That hasn't been seen in five hundred years."
"It's not that spectacular,you know.Theres consequences that come with double powers."
"Really? I didn't think about consequences." Jayke said.
"Yea, it hurts to try to use both at once.Right now I can only shift into a wolf and the speed drains me."

It wasn't until then that Jayna noticed Mayze's features,
he didn't look like he was six like Marya had said he would be, he was tall,
beautifully tan,with brown hair that went down to his chin,
but his eyes didn't seem to fit him.
His eyes were ice blue,and just under his right eye was a mark,
slightly darker than his skin,Jayna couldn't make it out, but then Mayze said," Looking at my birthmark,huh?"
"Oh, sorry I don't mean to be rude, but what is it?"
"It's a howling wolf, pretty neat, huh?" Mayze replied.
"Yea, its amazing and beautiful." Jayna said.
"Mayze, how old are you?" Jayke asked.
"I'm 8 and don't call me Mayze, I changed my name because I hate my parents. Call me Wesley Airstryker."
"But Marya said you'd be 6." Jayna commented.
"Yea but I was born two years before anyone ever figured out that my parents had a child.
My guess is that they just figured I'd been born around the time they found out."
"Come on you probably want to see your friends." He said, sounding kind of mad.

When they walked into the room they saw everyone sitting down looking kind of impatient.
"Finally! You're awake Jayna!" Kelsie said excitedly.
"Jayna,Jaykob, we have to get to Sakeno. Mayze, if you would like, you may come with us." Marya said.
"Sure, I'll came with you, but where's Sakeno at?"
Everyone was stunned.A Sakien that didn't know where or what Sakeno is?
"What? Why are you all staring at me?"
"Oh Holy Avela! Have Mercy on Wesley's soul!" Marya cried out.
"Artemois Avela Shatari Kivaya!" Kelsie whispered then drew a moon over her forehead,
an arpostalia on the right of her chest,
a sun over her heart, and a circle above her bellybutton.
Wesley looked at Jayke and Jayna with questioning eyes. Jayna whispered in his ear,
"You're a Forbidden one, not born in Sakeno and you do not know what it is."
"Is there any pure water around here?"Marya asked.
"Uh..I don't know. Why?"
"Marya, a Star Sister, must cleanse you before we go."
"What'll happen if she doesn't?"
"You'll take a long fall back to Earth."Seeing the look on Wesley's face,Jayke added,"But you won't die."
"How will she cleanse me if there's no pure water here?"
"Boil it!" Kelsie said,"If you boil water it technically becomes pure. You boil it then add all the essense,I always keep
essense with me."
Wesley looked at everyone questioningly and Kelsie spoke,"Got a pan and some water,kid?"
"You know, I don't quite fancy that name,Lady"
"And I don't quite fancy backtalk,boy."
"Uh, hey can you guys stop fighting, I'm not feeling too well." Jayna said.
As a matter-of-fact, she wasn't looking too well either. Her face was pale,she was sweating,then she fainted.
Jayke caught her and there was a knock on the door,
Wesley ran over to the windowand looked terrified.
"My mom," he mouthed,"Hide upstairs."
Kelsie and Marya went flying up the stairs, Jayke carried Jayna as fast as he could up the stairs,
as soon as they were out of sight Wesley went to the door and opened it.
"Hello, my darling son." Alaina said.
"Mother,Father,Annabelle,Lucca." Wesley said turning to each person as he said their names,
"Now you, I've never seen before."
Looking at a young girl about 13 or 14.
"Mayze, this is Adalyn, she just joined our ranks."
"Talent?" Mayze asked.
"She can hear anyone from 2 miles away." Weston answered, his voice was soft but there was a lot of power in it.

Adalyn knew that there was people upstairs, she coulds hear them breathing but she didn't tell anyone,
she was a spy for the Sakiens, as much as she hated it she had to go along with everything the Opposites had
planned until it was time for Jayna to go after Alaina and Annabelle.

The Opposites

"Adalyn, is it safe to talk here? Is there anyone else in this building?" Annabelle asked.
"No, madame." Mayze noticed she had a slight accent. What was it? French,Italian,Russian?
"Good, Mayze, would you show us in side?" Weston asked.
"Yes,sir, would you like something to drink?"
"No. Now we need to get to business."
"Now Mayze, we have been told by a most valuable source in Sakeno that some Sakiens have come to look for your mother and you.
Now we want you to watch for them and if you find them, send Noëla for us."
Just then a girl with short spikey black hair walked in,Mayze guessed that was Noëla.
"Hey boss, do ya mind if I have Felan here for company?"
"Noëla, who is Felan?" Annabelle asked.
"Felan is my twin brother."

Noëla and Felan knew that Adalyn was a spy because they were too. Not only did the Opposites have spies in Sakeno
but the Sakiens had spies with the Opposites. Noëla would never be sent to Weston or Alaina, she would go directly
to Sakeno and tell the Night Children about the plans from the Opposites. Right now the plan was to lay low until
the Opposites did something big. And apparently building an army of dead people was nothing huge.
Felan,who had all the traits of a wolf, knew someone was upstairs even though he had just walked in after
Mayze's parents had said he could stay. He looked sideways at Adalyn, who kept her face straight and her head forward,
nodded just slightly enough for Felan to catch the movement. Felan wondered if Noëla had told anyone about her
talent, she could see heat signatures.

Upstairs, Jayna still hadn't woken up and Jayke was starting to panic. Kelsie put her head close to Jaynas
to see if she could hear her thoughts, and she could. Jayna was dreaming; dreaming that she was back home, safe and
sound with Jayke. They had a child named Sergio after her father. Garrid wasn't dead, and Alaina was a good person.
Kelsie knew that was never going to be true, and little did she know, it was going to get even worse.Kelsie pulled her head back
and reassured Jayke that Jayna was going to be okay and that they should all stay quiet.

Mayze downstairs was getting a headache from Lucca and Annabelle. They were always holding hands and kissing
about every 10 minutes or so. Right now though, they were bickering about pointless things, like his shirt or her hair.
He stifled a sigh of releif after his parents said goodbye.

After about 15 minuets of silence past, Felan said," So, Mayze you wanna tell Noëla and me who's upstairs?"
Mayze sighed, he didn't know that they were spies for the Sakiens."Its Jayna, Jayke, Kelsie, and Marya." He replied.
"You mean to tell me that the Sakiens Alaina and Weston have been looking for are here?" Noëla said kind of angrily,
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"Hmm, well lets see. My parents, were here and I don't want those people upstairs getting hurt!" Mayze practically yelled
at her.
Felan couldn't stand loud noise because of having traits of the wolf comes with better hearing. "Be quiet." He said in almost
a growl.
Noëla went to the stairs,tested the first one and went up. She looked in all the rooms, and found a blonde boy holding a redheaded
girl. She seemed to be just waking up from a long nap.
Jayke looked to see what Jayna was staring at and his eyes met a girl with short black hair, he didn't know what
to do so he kept tending to Jayna.
"Jayke, there's someone standing in the door." Jayna whispered.
"I know but right now we're gonna worry about you. You're burning up,sweetheart." He replied.
"Hey, are you Jaykob Starkwake?" The girl in the doorway asked.
"Who wants to know?" Jayke replied.
"Hmm, only me and my brother."She replied.
"Are you helping Alaina and Weston?"
"Oh Avela no." She replied, "I work for the Sakiens, I'm Noëla. My brother Felan is a spy also."
Another person appeared right behind Noëla in the doorway.
"Heard someone say my name. Hey Noëla, that girl over there has a fever, might want to have someone
take care of her, I hear someone in the next room." The boy said.
"Wait! Don't hurt them, their friends, the people in the next room I mean." Jayke yelled after him.
"Please kid, I don't hurt women. It's against my vow." The boy swept from the room.
"That was Felan. He can be rude but he can be nice, he's my twin." Noëla said.

Jayke wondered what Felan had meant by vows, but before he could ask, Jayna was coughing.
Her encounter with being close to her sister obviously had been bad and Alaina wasn't far enough away.
Kelsie came running into the room,pushing Noëla out of the way and kneeling down next to Jayna. Jayke
saw her give Jayna something to stop coughing and it worked.Kelsie sat back and sighed what sounded
