Angela watched as Hadji E-Mailed Dr.Quest. Soon she wasn't in the bed she was lying on, but in the mists of Avalon. The blue/green mist swirled around her, lifting her just above the water and off her ankle. "So Angela... Angel, did you dispose of him yet?" "Well, hello to you too." "Angel cut the chat, I am a very busy man." "Man? I thought you were a Magic?" Soon her ankle throbbed intensely. "Angela..." "I haven't killed him yet." "Well do it!" And with that she appeared back on the bed. She looked at Hadji, still typing on the laptop. "He didn't notice..." she whispered. And gave a sigh in relief. Steven Lancaster left the stuffy office and went to a more pleasurable place, back to Avalon. No sooner had he stepped inside the palace then Puck greeted him with a scowl. "Why did you take Angela?" he asked stubbornly, very unusual for the playful Puck. "Why Puck, I have no idea what you talking about." he smirked as he pushed past Puck. Puck stopped him. "Look, I was there when she left. And with these ears you don't miss much, no matter where on the globe." "So I took her. I needed her assistance." "Why didn't you ask for it? Why take it?" "She would have never come voluntarily, now if you don't mind-" He tried to walk away but Puck stopped him. "But I do, she is one of the best friends I have, I don't want her hurt, and I know you too well Steve." "I, for once, don't care." Puck quickly changed attitude, "You bore me Stevie, got to run, er, fly, er transport, whatever." And he left. Leaving Steven to himself, like he wanted. Puck appeared in the bedroom where Angela lay. Seeing her lying there he conjured up dozens of bouquets of flowers, nearly hiding him, and a small mountain of 'Get Well' cards on her nightstand. "Oh I missed you ImissedyouImissedyou!" he said as he dropped the flowers all over her. "Ya, I missed you to, now go before-" Puck looked at the doorway. Hadji came through. "Who are you?" Hadji asked. "Puck, master of fun, chaos and.. fun, you are?" "Hadji Singh. I must ask you to leave." "Hadji don't," Angela said, "This is a friend of mine, I use the term 'friend' loosely." She gave Puck a side long glance. "Har har, I missed you too." "Hadji... this is Puck, one of my many brothers in Avalon." Hadji looked at him for a moment, puzzled, he shook off the feeling and left. Neela called for him downstairs. "Now why are you in bed? Step on a needle or something?" "I sprained my ankle." Puck laughed, "You can't sprain your ankle!" She looked into his eyes, "You can if some of your powers are gone." "Who did it?" Puck said, a little ticked. "Who else, Steven." "That little- poor excuse for a-" Neela entered the room. "The Quest's are here." Hadji entered first as the rest came in behind him. "Who is that pointy eared guy?" Jonny rudely asked. "And he thinks my ears are pointy." Puck joked. Jessie let out a stifled laugh. "Puck..." Angela said. "What?!" Jonny replied. "I had a feeling about this," Benton said, "Jonny look in the mirror." he said, a huge grin on his face. Jonny let out a yelp as he saw, what looked like, two long, blonde, rabbit ears coming from his head. "Well, you can sell that eavesdropping satellite Benton." Race joked. "Puck, fix him." she said, obviously not amused. "Fine, fine." he smiled. "Once was there now return, A lesson I have hoped you learned." Soon Jonny's ears where back to normal, Jessie laughed very hard. "Ha ha chuckles." he moaned "Your ears... HUGE!" and she laughed again. Doubling over. Benton looked at Angela with some supplies he brought. "Unusual body temperature, a heart beat, I don't hear breathing either, but there is oxygen in the blood..." he said, looking at the tests before him. "Well she isn't human DUH!" Puck said. "I swear if I EVER get my full powers back I will kill Steven!" she yelled. "Steven?" Benton asked "Out of curiosity, Steven Lancaster?" Race laughed, "The guy is a jerk Benton, but he's not-" "- A Magic? I'm afraid your wrong Mr. Bannon." Puck sighed. "Well fur on a catfish!" (I had to add that somewhere!) "He is..." Angela hung on the words, she didn't want to tell him, to tell Hadji," He sent me here to wipe out your family, one by one. Hadji was going to be the first." "Angela, you know Oberon's law." "You can't kill a fellow Magic, I know." Puck slapped his head "Angela, look at the boy." he shuffled Hadji over to Angela. "Its Hadji." she said, somewhat confused. Puck groaned. "Do you remember the boy we found? BEFORE this happened?" "The boy was- oh my God... Hadji..." her voice trailed. "What about Hadji?" Jessie asked. " Hadji my boy, see that pen on the desk, you can lift that right?" "Yes..." his own voice trailed, "You think I'm a Magic? That is impossible!" Puck transported him to the hall filled with the pictures of his dead relatives, back to the end. "Okay see that guy? Very sad story. He loved a human girl and married her. She didn't want to live in Avalon so he made her a palace. And many came to live here as well." "Bangalore." "And Bangalore was his name O. B-A-N-G- well whatever, you get the point. Well their lovely little half Fae met a lovely little mortal, and so on until the history of their Magic ancestry soon became a myth, then a forgotten myth. And so on. But you mother is a descendent. As you know her powers are greater than yours." "But Magic's are immortal, if that was true some of my relatives are alive." "Some... Bangalore was poisoned, but who we don't know. His food laced with iron dust. Some say suicide because he wanted to die. Others of your family, some with more magic, are still alive, but with different lives. Forgetting Bangalore altogether." Hadji nodded, finally understanding. Soon they were back in the room. "Well since nothing but mortals have been introduced into this family they magical powers have become weaker and weaker, your the last to have any magic. Weak but there." he reexplained for the benefit of the others. "Hadji is part Magic?" Benton said. "Duh, science boy. And since he cannot be killed... well by Magic anyways-" "He can be killed, but it isn't allowed, not by our kind anyways." "Steven doesn't care!" she yelled, near tears. And at that moment a swirl of deep blue, almost black, smoke rose from the ground. "You called?" Steven laughed. "It now seems you've become more and more valuable to me Angela." She looked at him with pure hate, "Go to Hell Steven." "Now now Angela, there are children in here." "Who are you calling a kid?!" Jonny said. "You." a puff of green smoke went up. When it faded a small, five year old, blonde boy stood there. "Meanie." he whined. "Change him back!" Angela yelled. "Nope." Angela tried, succeeding into making him seven. "I'm sorry, my powers-" "That's all right." Hadji whispered. The little Jonny walked up to Steven and before the rest could hold him back, Jonny kicked him in the shin. "Ouch you little-" Steven cried. Puck smiled "I'm starting to like you kid." he smirked. Another plume of smoke rose, making Jonny his normal age. "Thanks Puck... I think." he smirked as Jessie hugged him, holding her as well for a moment, becoming conscious of their surroundings they quickly stopped. "Benton, Benton, Benton. So you know my little secret. And what good will it do you?" "Plenty." he smirked. "That's bull Benton, we both know it." "Well since you are a Magic there are things that kill you, iron, for example, found in every day foods..." "Don't test me Benton." "You seem to forget WHAT I do, I'm a phenomenologist. I study mythical creatures, unexplained things. I probably have a whole shelf of books devoted to your kind, spells, weaknesses, the list goes on and on-" Steven smiled "Okay Benton, you got me. I surrender." He put up his arms, a grin spread across his face, the muscles in Puck's body tensed. Quickly Steven lunged for Angela and held her, a small switch blade came from his sleeve. "I assure you this blade is Iron, it can kill mortal and Magic." he looked at Hadji from the corner of his eye, keeping his eyes mainly focused on Angela. "You have been a very naughty girl." and in a more sinister voice added, "and for that you WILL be punished." and both disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Puck looked at the disappearing plume, worry spread across his face. "This isn't good." he said. "What can happen to her? She has just as much magic as Steven." "More." Puck replied, "but that doesn't matter, he can control her magic with a flute, The Flute of the Angels, Angela's flute. With that he controls her, it was meant for mortals to use, since they live short lives and can't do much damage, did you know there was 40 world rulers? Anyways, Through that flute he can torture her." he took a shallow breath, "He can even kill her." Hadji's calm appearance that was always on his face vanished with a look of pure hate. "Where is he?" "Avalon." "Take us there." "You sure kid? In Avalon, your magic equals that of a fairy... with reminds me I need to pick up some bug spray." Hadji looked at the others "I cannot speak for the rest of you though." "Dammit Hadj, of course we'll go." Jessie nodded. "Boy, after everything you do for us we'd be crazy NOT to go." Race said. "He's right Hadji." Benton put his hand on his shoulder. Puck nodded. "All aboard! Next stop Avalon! please put all small animals in the cargo area, that means you hormone boy." he said to Jonny. Jonny groaned, "This will be fun." Soon they arrived in the mists of Avalon. "Geez Hadji, have I ever told you that you taste in women is terrible." "My taste in women is just as bad as your bleach job." he said. "Very funny Hadji." "Thank-you my friend." Jonny rolled his eyes while Race smiled at Hadji Boy learns more every second. he thought and they continued through the forests of Avalon.
