"W-where is she...?S-she needs help...we have to help her!"

Kal sputtered frantically but Telken wasn't listening. He let the dagger sit in the grass and he was staring at it lost in thought. Kal was never a violent kid but he couldn't stop himself from finally shoving Telken and saying loudly.

"Rema's in trouble! Stop staring at it and do something!"

The odd man blinked a few times then gave a look to the kid that made him go silent but the look of worry, anger and defiance was plastered all over his face.

~"Listen kid...You're not think'n clearly. This isn't an ordinary dagger...I think it crosses the veil..and summ'n things into our world...if that's the case we can't j'st go across and get to her...well you can't anyway..."~

Telken looked up towards the house.

~"If y'want to really help her, go in there, concentrate on her and try to get her to know you're there...spiritually at least. Go on!"~

Kal wanted to protest but...the veil? To the other side...it was a thought that scared him deeply. He swallowed and giving Telken and the dagger a slight glare, he went back to the house and opened the door. He stepped in and walked to where Rema had been before she vanished. His bravery was starting to waver but he closed his eyes and started to think about Rema as hard as he could.

"Rema...I'm here..."

Once again Kal screamed in surprise but his voice was quickly silenced at the sound of the laughter and his eyes slowly narrowed now in anger. All at once he was yelling.

"Y-you kill her sisters...you try to kill us...you threaten us..."

He balled his fists and his face contorted in anger.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM US?!"

~"Easy Kid! That's not gonna help ya one bit..."~

The man who had been in his basement with that had burst into the doorway and tossed what appeared to be a burlap sack over the dagger and grabbed Kal who was still just shouting away at whatever it was that had taken Rema.

He pulled Kal outside to the lawn and Kal fell to his knees...now just crying. Telken frowned a bit and looked back at the house.

~"Hells...this is getting out of hand..."~

"It'll be a dead end otherwise Kal.. We need t-.."

Her voice was cut off, as in a flash, she was surrounded in a blue flame, and in the next instant, she was gone, the dagger on its side where she had just been holding it, and the only other sound were whispers, for only a few seconds, but the most audible sound, was a laugh, an evil one

Kal coughed a bit and rubbed at his chest in a vane attempt to get his lungs to stop hurting...he saw what Rema was doing and coughed again.

"I-is that a g-good idea Rema?..w-what if things e-explode inside t-the house...?"
