lily,thea,rose and poppy ran down the collapsing tunnel suddenly rose's feet slid from beneath her, tears ran down her face leaving
tracks in the dirt. lily turned to try and help her up but poppy dragged her on.the roof collapsed as thea poppy and lily tumbled
into the cavern.thea's pale grey eyes glistened and she shook her head sending tears flying everywhere "rose" she sobbed then
she slumped onto the floor.a hand on her shoulder and a scent of lavender told her poppy had put on the wrong perfume and that
she was standing right beside her. "she was our sister, your best friend.and how did you know?" she whispered.THUD.poppy fell to
the ground, clutching her leg and cursing. thea stood."where's the blockage?" she asked. lily took her hand and pulled her over.thea
began pulling the rock out of the blocked tunnel.getting the gist the other girl's started to pull the rock out too. suddenly a small
area of rock started to fall from above them, so they swiftly darted out of the way.a small circle crumbled away and all three girls gasped

lily was on her laptop on facebook checking up on thea.they had all managed to navigate out of the cave.and thea's mother had
picked them up and took them home.lily munched down some spaghetti bolognese happily. "mum i love you" she said grinning.
"good, i love you too" said her mum.she laughed and typed to thea:
lily:R U ok?
thea:yeah
lily:thats good
thea:yeah
lily:can i ask u a question?
thea:what
lily: how did you know?
thea:bout what
lily:about rose?
thea:instict. GTG.bye
facebook:thea is offline
she sighed and pressed shut down.thea was very touchy.knowingly lily nodded.her friend was blind,
and she didnt like it"poppy?" said lily.poppy ignored her and sighed."ok" said lily "night mum"she shouted folding the laptop
"night lily"her mum shouted.she scrubbed the dishes and listened to lily plodding upstairs.
"how?" asked poppy clutching a mug of hot tea, "i dont know" replied rose. "it just happened"

lily's mum paused and sighed "that girl..." she said thinking of lily
she stopped and went back to scrubbing dishes."...is going to get herself killed one of these days"said a voice.shocked,
lily's mum's hand slipped she spun around dropped the glass she was holding and screamed.

rose heard the scream and ran into the huge kitchen to find her mothers hat laying in a puddle of blood on the floor.poppy dashed in after her
closely followed by lily.poppy ran to the sink and half way in she retreated her hand.blood was pouring from her finger."sink, drain"
she commanded. she looked into the sink and saw a wrist height large sharp blade.and lots of blood spattered over the floor."please
tell me that,that is YOUR blood?" said lily. a shaking poppy replied "no"

"where's mum?" said a little voice.poppy looked round as her little sister, krista, opened her eyes "krista..." poppy began but krista had just
seen the blood. she screamed and ran back into her room.lily approached and heard talking coming from krista's room."i really dont know where she is!"
she broke off.suddenly there was a very loud crash. "hold on a second."she said walking toward the door.
she flung it open to see a large ruby red chandlier had fallen on top of some muddy foodprints. the footprints had led from the kitchen to
right under there but then they stopped.krista thought to herself 'wasn't that chandlier crystal?' she walked over and kicked it aside. there was a pool
of blood but there was no-one there.no-one.

lily blinked.why was she sitting outside in the rain and lightning?she stood up and walked back toward the house with sheets of icy rain pelting her back.
meanwhile her mother (who's name is sarah) was sitting looking at the house and wondering why she was in a tree.she climbed down and rubbed her head.
she saw lily walking in and hurried after her.
everyone sat round the table except krista and jeeves(the butler)
suddenly a dark shadow flitted over rose lily and sarah.this is getting stranger and stranger thought poppy.

thea was out in the garden the next morning when she heard a sound."kop kop kop". she held out her hand and a small grey bird landed on it. "shadonior"
"pok!" the bird turned into a human shaped shadow. "is it complete?" asked thea. "not quite"said shadonoir. thea stood."help me." she muttered.shadonoir
turned into a shadowy ball and went inside thea."i'll be back at 6:30 mam!" she shouted and walked out of the gate.

CHAPTER 2

in school the next morning thea was walking confidently round school with shadonoir in her heart. she was walking down the corridor with poppy when
suddenly "hi matthew." said thea. matthew grabbed her and poppy hurried on revolted, they were only 14 and she had never liked kissing. all of a sudden
falkner stepped out in front of her. " uh-oh" she said as falkner threw a heavy punch at her head. she cowered and screamed waiting for her head to be
destroyed but the blow never came.she looked up to see damian tackling falkner to the ground and punching him.falkner pulled himself out and ran away.
damian turned to poppy and helped her up. his eye was bruised and his lip was burst but he was smiling at her. she pulled him to the side and went to
the staff room. she returned with a ice pack."thanks." said damian.he turned toward the door and attempted to walk outside but after one step he fell
backwards and poppy caught him.he sighed gratefully.
thea acrobatted all the way home. when she got there she went straight to her room and onto facebook. she wanted to post something on lily's wall.
she went onto her friends list and scoured

then she went down to the lily's
lily jackson
lily jenson
lily krans
lily krowe
melanie joston
thea didnt understand. where was lily zurchini?then she looked at her messages. there was one from lily. it bore one word: TRAITOR

krista grabbed a pack of chocolates and a bottle of juice.she looked downward toward the place where jeeves lay out cold on the floor.she sighed.
her babysitter was such a IDIOT sometimes.she threw the stuff into her backpack and flung it over her shoulder and ran out of the door.
her sharp eyes caught sight of her mother and she military rolled into the bushes before crawling away.suddenly she looked up and screamed.
a huge tree branch was falling towards her suddenly a shadow shot from her backpack. another shadow dashed up beside it.both of them grabbed
the log and yelled at her to move but she was frozen out of fear and shock.the shadows could no longer hold the log.it fell toward krista and she let out a
silent scream before it smushed her into the ground and blood went everywhere, covering every leaf and blossom in the sticky, red liquid.

CHAPTER 3

once again krista's imagination had ran away with her but the branch was still falling toward her but just as it was about to crush her thea grabbed her
and rolled out of the way,covering her head as she went.krista gasped for air and sat up. thea stood up and brushed herself off.she was wearing a
pink top with translucent rainbow sequins all over the front.she was also wearing jet black leggings and fuscia skirt with turquise ribbons running down.
krista gaped as thea walked away.she paused for a second. "come shadonoir!" she called before strutting away."shadonoir?"she said " darkbleu?" she asked
the remaining shadow."yes." said darkbleu
"wasn't that shadow same as you?"
"yeah."
"thought so" krista chewed her lip and looked up at the sky before grabbing her backpack and dashing off with the shadow trailing her.

"oh my god!" screamed lily. curious rose came over
"what?"
"krista's gone!"
"gone? gone where?"
"i don't know!"
"we'd better tell mum!"
they rushed off to see sarah who was very worried when they told her, as she had just got back.
"wha-where?" she said
"no idea"the girls said together
"but we better find her before..." said rose
"something bad..." said lily
"happens to her" said poppy

poppy went to her room.
"what?" she said
"sorry but i thought you should know." it was a shadow. "krista-your sister went..." he turned. "due east"
he dashed away before quickly coming back
"who..." said poppy
"i am darkbleu." said the shadow and dissapeared
"blanc!" shouted poppy.
"yes" another shadow shot out of the draws."and yes that was the same species as me"
"how did you know what i was going to ask?" said poppy.
"poppy, you are my best friend.i can always tell." said blanc

"i gotta go" krista mumbled to herself. she looked around and saw a large hollow azelea bush and dived in.she relieved her bladder and sighed
she wandered out happily and leapt back. "whoa!" she said."darkbleu!never...do...that...again." she panted
"sorry" said darkbleu "i went to see kala."
"you didnt tell her were i was did you?!" krista said sharply
"NO! never krista.i love you and i would never do that to you." said darkbleu
"hmmm" said krista. it was plain she didnt believe him,but he was the only company she had.
"come on! i want to get to denime city by morning.theres a nice willow tree we can sleep under."

CHAPTER 4

"kala!kala!" shouted rose.
"right here." kala said dashing in.
"honestly kala!" said rose "you are going to be the death of me" she shook her head
meanwhile in lilys room.
"nero? are you there?"
"lily hey!" nero said and lightly leapt onto her back and hung there.
lily giggled.nero felt like a soft fluffy cloud.
"nero for the first time i need you to be serious." she said
"hey do i ever mess around on the job? on second thoughts..." he said a he rested on the bed
lily started crying and leapt under the bedcovers. she whipped them up over her head and the feather-light nero flew across the room.
"heeee."he said before going through the wall into krista's empty room.
he popped back in and dashed under the covers."lily? krista's not in her room."
"i know."lily cried and cuddled into nero
awkwardly he hugged her back

krista spotted the tree."bullseye!" she shouted, jolting darkbleu awake
"hiya" he roared jumping out of the backpack and doing karate on a nearby rowan tree
she pushed him hard and he
