As Cassy walked around, hoping she'd locate Phoebe, she used her cell to ring Jade. The first number she tried was her home phone.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't patronise me." snapped Ki, snapping at him with her slightly shorter whip.

James dodge again with a nod and Sailor Fey pounced, for lack of a better word, and knocked the girl to the ground. She blew some dust in the girl's face to make her sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Logan picked up the phone. Jade was in the bedroom and couldn't hear the phone.
"Hello?"

"Oh, Hi Logan," said Cassy, silently cursing in her head at the pot luck she had for ringing the house phone. "Is Jade around?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara struggled for all of the three seconds that she was conscious. As she passed into sleep, both of the whips ceased to exist.

Sailor Fey became Ariana again and gave James a questioning look as he picked up the unconscious girl.
"Sorry i think our date will have to wait." He said as Ariana created a portal like James had taught her.
"Well, it looks like a good thing that we had a date." Ariana said with a wry smile. They stepped through right back into Auron and Cassy's living room. Auron as soon as he saw James left the room to look for some rope and to avoid Ian having to admit that Phoebe was missing.
"Where's our rebelious little charge?" James asked casually as he sat the girl in his arms in a chair.
"Elsewhere, Cassy went to look for her." Ian said. Auron and Ian tied her up while Ariana went to call Cassy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"She's busy, can I pass a message along?" Logan asked. He hated Jade's friends. He was afraid of losing Jade to them. So he was very catious when they wanted to talk to Jade.

"Could you ask her to ring me when she's not busy? That's all, thank-you," said Cassy with a smile before hanging up and rolling her eyes. Without a second thought, she dialled Jade's cell and tried that number instead.

Jade looked up from the keyboard she was sitting at a the sound of the phantom of the opera filled the room. She smiled as she checked the caller ID.
"Hey, Cassy, what's up?" She asked anwsering the phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Downstairs at that moment, Phoebe sped out of the garage, her red hair peeking out of her helmet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Are you really going to interogate her in my living room?" Auron asked looking at the girl who was now tied to a kitchen chair.
"Do you have a better suggetion?" James asked.
"Perhaps I should do it?" Ariana suggested.
"No!" James and Auron said at the same time.
"I agree" Ian said. "She's still a girl. She' not even Phoebe's age yet."
"I don't want her seeing Ariana's face." James insisted. "Not when she might be..."
"Do you really think she's been sent by him?" Ian asked. "If that was so then she would have known who you were."
"Fine." James conceeded. Auron sighed.
"I'll stay with her." Ian said quickly as he noticed their cptive stirring. Auron growled and James glared as they left to the kitchen.

"Your sister's gone walkabouts again," said Cassy with a sigh. "You've not heard from her or seen her at all, have you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara very slowly came to, her senses dull and blunt, as usual. She suddenly realised that she was no-where she'd expected to be, and that she was tied up, and began to struggle rather frantically, not paying the slightest bit of attention to anyone who may or may not have been in the room.

Jade sighed. "No, i haven't, but I'm on it. Thanks Cassy." She hung up and put away the music she had been working on. Hiding it in a secret drawer from Logan. For some reason she felt he wouldn't approve of her writing. She told Logan a quick lie about being called in to work and headed for the garage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ariana knelt next to the chair, while Ian stood behind and held it steady. "Relax, Don't fight it. The knots are very secure." Ariana said.

Kiara's breathing became faster as she looked wildly to Ariana and then back to Ian, still struggling mildly but only for her self-conviction. It appeared she'd abandoned all hope of appearing dominant and powerful; here she struggled like a child, frightened and lost.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassy wandered around the local area but, after seeing no sights of Phoebe, decided she'd do no good without a mode of transport and began to head back to the house. On the way, she realised she'd been forgetful and texted Jade,
"she was at ours because there was a breach of security or something. James isn't back yet that I know... I completely forgot to tell you. If you like you can come to ours instead and I'll do the Phoebe hunt, I know you'd be better at ours than I will. Cass x"

Jade cursed as she read the text message. She was driving the silver volvo since her motorcycle was being used by her little sister; she was certain of that. Using the blue tooth for her phone she called Cassy back. Texting while driving wouldn't be the safest thing.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Jade said not bothering with any pleasentries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoebe pulled up in front of Sparky and Abby. They were both a few years younger than her but they had been her friends since she found out the truth about who she was. She smiled as she slid the helmet off shaking her crimison locks out. Every guy turned their head to look and Phoebe's laugh was musical as her friends gaped.
"Geez, Phoebs, you scared me riding up on that thing. I thought you were Jade and we were all busted." Abby said, she was the youngest of the three, finally exhaling. Phoebe and Sparky laughed.
"Phoebe, every guy is staring at you" Sparky added with a nudge. Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"And yet Rowan still can't get up the nerve to ask me out." Phoebe sighed. She added some Anti-theft spells to the bike as she hopped off and followed the girls into the stadium.
"You're too intimidating. Give the poor boy a break." Sparky said.
"Besides i wouldn't worry about it too much." Abby added.
"Oh is that right miss future girl?" Phoebe asked with a smirk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're not going to hurt you, there's no reason to be afraid. We just want anwsers." Ariana said. "Now what's your name?"

"About 10 blocks from the house, near the playground," said Cassy, glancing at the empty children's playground to her left. "Shall I continue back towards the house?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara looked from Ariana to the bonds holding her. She was actually incredibly torn between doing what her mother would want her to do and doing what was easy. But then, they didn't seem like they wanted to hurt her. And she wasn't giving anything away. And, most importantly, if she got herself into a sticky situation, she had no energy to get herself out of it. And if she was completely honest, she was at their mercy.
"Kiara," she said, rather quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alyssa twitched. Something, somewhere, had gone wrong. But not the kind of wrong she'd expected. She frowned. The Sailor Phoenix she knew had been almost chaotically good - killing evil on sight, asking questions later. She quickly made her way through to the throne room and sat, looking at the mirror opposite, with a small piece of crystal in the frame. She only had to raise her eyebrows, and it began to scry for the rest of the crystal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beneath Kiara's dress, are rather eerily dark glow began.

"Don't bother. give me 5" Jade said fishtailing in the middle of the street she was on and then slamming on the gas. And it took her about 4 and 1/2 minutes to pull up next to Cassy. She rolled down the window and grinned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ariana had been about to ask Kiara her last name but she fell backwards as she noticed the glowing.
"You have a sur name, no doubt." Ian prompted giving Ariana a puzzled look, but he didn't move.
"Yes, what's your sur name, Kiara?" Ariana asked composing herself.

Cassy grinned as well, although she also rolled her eyes.
"You're as bad as your sister for showing off, Ms Star-Anise," she said, shaking her head as she walked quickly around the car and got in the passenger side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara mused for a moment on whether she should speak, before opening her mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alyssa's eyes darkened as she glared at the mirror and clenched her fist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Da-" Kiara spluttered and coughed as her chest tightened, desperate for breath as she felt almost like her lungs had been cut off. The amulet continued to glow.

"Well I had to before you got in. If I pulled that with you in the car, a certain wolf might eat me for dinner." Jade said with a smirk. "Do we have any clues as to where she ran off to?" She was driving back towards Cassy and Auron's happy little newlywed home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's try something easier. How old are you?" Ariana said in reaction to Kiara's coughing.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Ian said.
"Shhh, it's my way or the highway." Ariana snapped at him. She could tell something was happening to the poor girl and that her anwsers were affecting it. So she was testing that theory and she wasn't about to let Ian screw it up by being a guy.

Cassy grinned. "Why? I do it with me in the car..." she laughed. "Not a clue on Phoebs. We were all talking in the kitchen. No sense of magic or anything similar, though, so don't worry about it too much."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara coughed again as her windpipe loosened. "Sixteen," she said, meekly, her current status meaning she couldn't even begin to think of reasons why she'd just began to choke - maybe just coincidence.
