"Where...where are we?" asked Fate her voice drunk with sleep.
"Don't know, but I don't think we should stay here in the open. Let's get going; maybe we can find some one to tell us where we are." suggested Destiny.
"Wait," said Fate she got out her compass but the pointer made a full 360. "Well, there goes THAT option." she sighed and was about to follow when. "Awww" yelped Hope they all quickly turned.
"What is it?" asked Fate.
"I think I hurt my foot." she tried to stand again and yelled even louder.
"What are we gonna do we can't stay here in the open I THINK it's gonna rain." said Fate. It was true the sky was turning a sickly gray.
"Oh man!" yelled Destiny.
They got into a big fight over what to do but surprisingly Chance was quiet until- "Would you yard hens be quiet I know exactly what to do." he said confident.
"And just what would that be Mister 'Cool'?" asked Hope.
He got on his knees in front of her and turned so she was facing his back "Get on."
"ABSOLUTELY NOT" yelled Hope.
"Come on Hope, we're not gonna leave you here by yourself." he insisted. "I don't trust you as far as I can throw you blue boy and I can throw you FAR."
"We don't have time for this I.really think it's going to rain." said Fate.
"Look, if it makes you feel better there's one of him and three of us." assured Destiny. "Well, alright fine but if YOU drop me!"
"I won't!" replied Chance.
".Fine!" she said and finally got on.
They had only been going on for just about half an hour, they couldn't
quite tell since their watches had gone wacky as well, when the rain
started pouring.
They started off at a run "Look a.house?" wondered Fate. It was quite different from other houses very big, maybe three floors and shaped like a dome.
Destiny rattled the door knob, it open "Hello. Anybody home?" called Fate as they went in.
"Our friend is hurt we need some hel-" a loud crashing sound stopped her and she turned to find Chance and Hope in a pile on the ground "Oh, you are SO going on a diet" said Chance.
"Why don't we split up.that way we can cover more ground. I think I heard someone up there." Destiny said pointing to the stairs.
"And I'll look down here, Hope we'll be right back" said Fate.
"WHAT I GOTTA STAY HERE ALONE!!"
"Oh, is Miss THANG afraid?" taunted Chance.
"So I'll see you guys later then?" replied Hope boldly.
Chance and Destiny explored the upstairs floors, there were many bedrooms, a lab, a few bathrooms, and Fate found a kitchen and what seemed to be gym room downstairs.
There was a picture on the wall of what seemed to be a young handsome man; his hair was white with zebra like patterns that seemed to dance on his head. There was a name in the bottom of the picture.
She was about to read it when she heard something that made her run back the way she had come.
Destiny and Chance had heard it too, it was a scream.
Destiny was the last down and found Chance and Fate staring at something.
"What, what is-" but she knew exactly what it was as she reached them. They were stirring at the spot that Hope had been.
She was gone.
On the third floor Hope looked around, what had happened?
A tall, dark, hooded figure moved in front of her. He lifted his had and a glint of silver caught her eye.
He came closer and she could see the object now, it kind of looked like a monkey wrench. "NO stay away from me, NO!"
By this time Destiny, Chance and Fate were hurrying up the stairs. Chance pulled on the door, it was locked. "What are we gonna do?" asked Fate.
Destiny thought for a moment she knew exactly what to do; the door had an electric lock but...was this the time...did she trust these people with her secret. She looked back at them; they were pushing on the door with all they had.
Yes, she trusted them, she had to.
"Stand back!" she yelled.
"Why?" asked Chance.
"STAND BACK! I trusted you last time now just trust me." He looked at her straight in the eyes then stepped to the side.
Destiny concentrated and soon a volt of electricity shot from her extended finger.
There was dead silence and then a small click.
The door swung open and they received the shock of there lives.
There, was Hope in the corner and this unknown person was bringing something down on her.
Fate covered her eyes but quickly opened them again when she heard Destiny gasp.
Destiny couldn't believe what she had seen, one minute Hope was a goner for sure the next she just disappeared before there very eyes.
She reappeared at the other end of the room but the figure did the same. He tried again, but she brought her hand up and hit his wrist with the back of it sending the wrench flying.
Amazingly, a sword reappeared in its' place.
Hope's eyes widened, the sword came down but she used her good leg to hop backward escaping each swing by mere inches.
But alas after a few jumps the over whelming pain in her bad leg finally gave in and she fell to the floor.
She looked up one last time to see the blade moving fast towards her neck.
Hope closed her eyes and they remained shut as she wondered what it would be like to die or worse what would happen after...
Then it hit her, shouldn't she be dead already??
Something had whizzed by her, something big and hot.
She slowly opening one eye and looked around, her eyes resting on the doorway first and was shocked.
Apparently so were Chance and Destiny because they were standing as far away from Fate as they could get.
She was kneeling on one leg, hands extended, with one wrist cocked up and the other straight.
With her eyes aflame she wiggled a finger "Uh uh uh, you play nice now."
They all fell over at what happened next, the hooded figure started hopping around the room and in a loud male voice was now yelling. "Put it out, put it out!" for his cloak had caught fire.
That's when Chance went to work, he clasped his hands together and extended his two pointer fingers which acted like a hose and sprayed the unknown person and putting the fire out. The pressure of the water however pushed this person against the wall and knocked him out.
They all ran over to Hope "WHERE THE HECK DID YOU LEARN TO FIGHT LIKE THAT!!" asked Chance
"It just...always came natural and what about you guys?" she said turning to Destiny. "Actually now that I think about it...I don't have a clue how I-" her eyes slowly drifted down and she began to fall.
Chance was closest so, he caught her. "Hey what's wrong, what's going on, it wasn't me this time, I didn't do anything she just fell I swear!" Being the one always at fault gave him a tendency to deny everything. But soon he found his knees giving in and he joined Hope, who had already passed out on the floor.
"This always happens when I..." Fate didn't finish just also fell to the ground and began drifting off, but something caught her eye first. The unknown figure was STILL MOVING he came over and stood over them so as she could see directly into his hood. "I...know who you are you're..." Fate's eyes finally shut.
