chapter 4: found you

"They've been gone for a while now do you think they're ok?" Emily asked James

"Maybe but I think so." James replied

"Come out come out wherever you are!" Damien yelled as he was searching for them

"He's coming." Echo said as she popped her head up to look and got back down

"What are we going to do?" Flame asked

"Um come on." Echo said as she got up and grabbed his hand. "Come on let's get going."

"Alright." Flame said as he grabbed her hand

"There you are." Damien said as he saw them

"Echo what are we going to do now?" Flame asked

"We were walking near water a few minutes ago and that is where we're going." Echo said as she started running

"So what are you planning to do?" Flame asked as he ran behind her

"Wait and see." Echo said as she ran even faster

"Alright if you have a plan I will follow." Flame said as he ran with her

They ran up to the water.

"We're here." Echo said as she looked at Flame

"So now what are we going to do?" Flame asked

"Jump in." Echo said as she jumped in

"Alright?" Flame said as he jumped in too

"Are they alright?" Emily asked

"Maybe we should go in and look for them?" James asked

"I think so." Emily said

"Alright let's go." James said

They ran in to go and find them. Flame and Echo got out of the water.

"Come back here!" Damien yelled as he chased them

"Echo what do we do!" Flame yelled

"Thinking!" Echo yelled back

Echo heard something say "Follow me."

"We're going this way." Echo said as she turned right

"Stop!" Damien yelled

"Up you must go up." the voice said

She change to her dragon form and grabbed Flame and flew up.

"Echo where are we going?!" Flame yelled

"So do you know what's going on?" Damien asked

"I guess I do." Akihiko said

Emily and James saw them flying up in the air.

"Where are they going?" Emily asked

"Well let's follow them." James said

"Right." Emily said as she started running following their trail

Echo got to a spot where the voice got louder and louder.

"Echo where are we going?!" Flame yelled

"You can't hear him?" Echo said

"Hear who?" Flame asked

They reached a place unfamiliar to them. Emily and James caught up to them.

"Hey you guys!" Emily yelled

"Emily." Echo said as she started to land then let go of Flame and then landed

"Hey what's wrong?" James asked

"Hi." the voice said

They all turned around and someone was standing there.

"Who are you?" Echo asked

"The one who brought you here." the voice said

"You didn't answer the question." Emily said

"I've seen you before." Flame said

"Oh you have? But I've never seen you before." the voice said

"You have foiled my plans again." Damien said as he came out

"Bother someone else Damien." the voice said

"Fine then next time." Damien said as he pointed to Flame and walked off

"What does he want from me?" Flame whispered

"So do you remember yet?" the voice asked

"Remember what?" James asked

The person started walking towards Echo.

"This might help a bit." the voice said as he walked threw her

She turned to him.

"Your alive!" Echo yelled

"I'm sort of alive." the voice said

"Tatsou why didn't tell me!" Echo yelled

"Well I tried finding you first then I could sense the green stone and you in one place and I thought it was Akihiko but I guess not." Tatsou said

"What do you mean?" Echo asked

"He has the green stone." Tatsou said as he pointed to Flame

"What is that?" Emily asked

"It's what Akihiko had with him." Echo said

"So what does that mean?" Flame asked

"You have the stone." Tatsou said as he looked at him

"What where!?" Flame yelled

"Inside you." Tatsou said

"Thats is so strange." Emily said

"No that's weird." James said

"So Akihiko passed it down to down to him?" Echo asked

"I think so." Tatsou said

"Echo what is going on?" Emily asked

"Don't worry about it." Echo said

"Well come on we have to get back." James said

"Right." Emily said as she started walking away and James followed behind her

"Tatsou what will you do?" Echo asked

"Be with you well more like following you." Tatsou said

"Alright." Echo said. "Come on Flame."

"Right." Flame said as he started walking

Echo followed behind him.

"I will watch over them like you did for me Xiuhcoatl." Tatsou said

"Wait Tatsou I forgot to ask you how are you here?" Echo asked as she turned around

He was gone.

"Oh well." Echo said as she went back

She caught up to them.

"Hey do you think we should go back in?" Echo asked

"Maybe not a good idea." Flame said

"Guess that's enough fun for today." Emily said

"Yes it has." Flame said

Flame and Echo got changed back to their normal clothes they started walking home about 10:00 pm.

"Bye guys." Emily said

"Bye." Echo said as she walked out Flame followed behind her

They were walking home and Tatsou was sitting waiting for them.

"Tatsou I was looking for you!" Echo yelled

"Sorry but I need to tell you something but not here." Tatsou said

"Alright." Echo said "Can he come in?"

"I think so." Flame said

They got to his house and went in.

"My parents aren't home I guess they went out to eat." Flame said

"Well we can talk now." Echo said

"You know that Xiuhcoatl isn't here." Tatsou said

"Yes." Echo said

"Xiuhcoatl?" Flame asked

"He is a dragon god." Echo said

Flame looked at Tatsou in amazement.

"But he didn't tell me that I could be reincarnated over and over again." Tatsou said

"What do you mean?" Echo said

"This makes the tenth time I've been reincarnated." Tatsou said

"What but what." Echo said

"I've have been watching the green stone but I lost track of it."

"But why you?" Flame asked

"I was assigned this task." Tatsou said

"What were you the voice that I heard?" Echo asked

"Yes." Tatsou said

"What voice?" Flame asked

"You remember when I touched you sword." Echo said

"Yes." Flame said

"I guess he told me to put my hand on your sword." Echo said

"Let's continue on what we were talking about." Tatsou said

"I have a question how much longer can we stay safe?" Flame said

"Don't know but do know this you are no longer safe." Tatsou said

"Don't worry we got this." Echo said

"That's good to know." Tatsou said. "So I can get some sleep."

"Wait what." Flame said

Tatsou passed out onto the floor.

"Well got another one to take in." Echo said

"Great now where are we going to put him?" Flame said

"Don't know ask your parents." Echo said

"Yes sure hey mom we got another person and he's like Echo." Flame said

"Ok never mind then now what?" Echo asked

"Um don't know." Flame said

Flame looked at Tatsou.

"I guess I put him in my room." Flame said

"But where will you sleep?" Echo asked

"Maybe the couch." Flame said

"Alright." Echo said

He picked up Tatsou and put him in his room.

"Night Flame." Echo said as she went to her room

"Night Echo." Flame said as he laid on the couch

They went to bed but Flame who laid there.

"What's on your mind?" Tatsou asked as he came in the room

"Everything." Flame replied

"Is it about me?" Tatsou asked

"Sort of." Flame said

"Why?" Tatsou asked

"Well why do you keep getting reborn and how many people did you watch, over for the green stone?" Flame asked

"I don't know why I keep getting reborn and I watched over 300 people threw birth and death." Tatsou said

"Do you want to die?" Flame asked

"I've been wanting to die for 100 years." Tatsou said

"At one point I'm going to kill you alright." Flame said

"Thank you." Tatsou said
