I am super sorry for the late update! I was super busy with school and all. Please forgive me. I don't own Ghost Hunt. Here is the chapter you have all been waiting for!

Mai's POV

When I finally woke up again from my rest, I had a headache. I sat up and noticed that I finally had my control back. As I moved my hands, I heard a slight jingle. I looked down to see that I had cuffs.

I sighed. Someone entered the room I was in and it was none other than Cody. I rolled my eyes and stood up. I crossed my arms and said, "Why are you doing this? I know that you don't want me to ruin your plans, but I can't have you destroying the good and changing the world into a bad ending for everyone."

He smirks and walks over to me. He says, "Oh Mai, when will you learn? The only reason why I am doing this is because you are in the way. The bad ending is perfect. This world doesn't need the good, it needs the bad."

I sit on the bed and said, "Really? So if you did win, you know that you will always be an obnoxious jerk and always will be one right?" He shrugs and replies by saying, "At least I will be the leader."

I laugh and he walks over to me. He snaps his fingers and I am suddenly under the same kind of control as before. I had no control whatsoever over my body. He stops in front of me and says, "Do you want to die?"

Inside, I'm smirking because of one reason. I had broken free. The control that he has on me is gone. I had actually done it. I stand up and said, "No I don't want to die. Do you want to? I can kill your right now and make sure that on the Equinox, everything will be fine."

He looked shocked that I had broken free, but not for long. He smirks and grabs both of my wrists. I feel a burning sensation on both my wrists. I bite my lip to hold back a scream.

When he released my wrists, they were still stinging. I looked at them to see a tattoo on both wrists. On my left, there was a chain marked there. On the right, there was a dying rose.

I looked at Cody and he smirked. He then grabbed my neck making me feel the same burning sensation as my wrists. As soon as he let me go, I felt pain. A mirror appeared before me and on my neck; it was a tattoo of a chain.

I looked at Cody and said, "W-what did you do?" He smirked and said, "I marked you. Those will never come off until the person who casted them disappears meaning that they die. Every night until the day of the Equinox, you will be under any spell I want on each night. Since today is the 12th of September, you will have a total of 10 spells. Oh, and yes, you have been sleeping for a month. Your friends have been looking for you for a month, but no sign. In 10 days, the Equinox will fall upon us and that is when you will possibly die. Shame that you had no time to train."

As soon as he said that, my shoulders slumped. A month? How can I sleep for a month without needing to use the restroom or eat? I looked at Cody and said, "Now What? Are you going to set me free? Or kill me?"

He looked as if he was in thought. "I am going to set you free. Besides, there will be no way you can train in 10 days without sleep. Bye." He snapped his fingers and I was in a forest.

Mina's POV

She has been missing a month. We have sent out posters to see if anyone has seen her, but no one says that they have seen her. Some even thought that I was the missing girl.

After the first week, we kept in search. After the last day of the first week, Flame and the others returned saying that she was missing. The second week, we continued to search. On the last day of the month, we were tired.

After 2 weeks since the beginning of September, everybody gave up. I still searched, but she was gone. Police have been also looking for her. She is even on the news.

I sighed and sat on the couch in the office. Everyone was there drinking some tea that I had made. As we began to sip the tea, I was bored. Mai wasn't here and it was boring.

I sighed and thought about why Cody would have kidnapped her and taken her. Did he kill her already? No, she couldn't have died. If she had, then I would have felt it and I wasn't feeling that she died.

I sighed again and Naru came out of his office. I raised an eyebrow and he said, "I'm going out." I nodded and he left. I was bored again. I stood up and said, "You guys want to go and look one more time?"

They all looked at each other and nodded. Lin was in his office, so I said, "Lin, we're going out to search for Mai." I didn't hear a reply. I shrugged and we all left. Mai was missing for a month. We needed to find her.

Mai's POV

As soon as I stood up from my place in the forest, I was wondering where I was. Something about the place reminded me of America. Was I really in America? I shrugged and stood up.

I felt a pain shoot up as I used my hands. I looked at the wrist and sure enough the marks were still there. I shrugged them away and stood up. I could hear cars and I knew that I was near a freeway.

I began to walk towards the sound of the cars. As soon as I got there, the freeway seemed very familiar. It then came to me that I was on the street where we found Gene's and Mina's body.

I sighed and began to walk. As a car came by, I called for it to help. It didn't come to stop. Instead it passed by and I sighed. As more and more cars came by and passed, I began to think that no one would help me.

I spotted a black car. I called for it and it stopped for me. The window opened revealing Naru. I sighed in relief and said, "Just in time. I was kidnapped, I was marked, and now I am here. Give me a lift?"

He nods and I enter the car. As I sat there, I noticed how cold my skin was. I moved to turn the heater on, but Naru did the same. Our hands touched and Naru said, "Mai, if you weren't a klutz, you wouldn't have been in this situation right?"

I nod and he turns the heater on. I said, "Give me your phone." He looked at me and hands me his phone. I call Mina and when she picks up, I say, "Mina, I'm heading to the office with Naru. Get some tea, warm blankets, and also the heater up. Your sister is cold!"

She answered by saying, "Hurry. We have a client in less than an hour." I nodded and hung up. I relayed the message to Naru and he stepped on the gas. We were going a bit too fast. Thankfully no police cars were around.

We got to the office in 40 minutes. I was enveloped in hugs and a blanket. The heater was on and I got some tea as soon as I sat down. The client came right on time. It was a man in the late 40's and he looked foreign.

He saw me and said, "If you already had a client, I could come back later." His voice had an American accent. I smiled and said, "No, don't worry sir. I am just a co-worker. There is no need to fret. Please, come in."

He nods and sits on the couch. Naru is there so the meeting began. Before everything began, I blacked out. All I remember is landing on someone's shoulder.

How was this chapter? I hope it was great. Sorry if it was short. Please, please, please leave a review because lately I have been thinking that no one is reviewing. So please read and review! I promise to update as soon as I can! Until the next update, DarkDiamondLover out!
