Ash kinda shrank in on herself. "Now, I gotta go. Here's that bad news, Dusty. My real name is AShaes, and that guy was Sammael. We work together for Ishamael. And if I'm not back at the hideout in ten minutes, Ishy'll kill me." She took a few steps back, waving good-bye, then turned and pushed off, skating over the ground.

This was possible because she was freezing the ground for a split second, making ice tracks that basically followed her feet.

Dusty sighed and watched her go. Well, that was someone he would probably never meet again. He turned and sluggishly started home. He turned on his iPod, and the first song that came on was Mad World, by he had no clue who. But it was a sad song, that went perfectly well with the situation.

Arriving at his door, Dust hesitated to open it. If he did, his sister would run outside to meet him with her friend. Instead, he decided to sit on the lawn and mourn the loss of the only friend he'd ever had, and the person he'd talked to the most. The worst part was, he'd just met her...
