I'm so sorry! I had a major case of writers block, but I've finally come up with a new chapter to this story. I hope you'll like it!

A/N: I'm changing two of my characters, the candle and the clock. The clock will still have the same name, but he'll be the Gary from the anime, Pokemon. I'm changing Nathan's name to Ash; he'll be the Ash from Pokemon. The only differences in these characters are their eye color. Gary will have grey eyes and Ash will have pink; and they are a little OOC.

On with the story!!!


Chapter 2

Solomon and Pedro slowly went through the forest. Solomon was looking at the map as Pedro galloped.

"I can't believe it, but I think we're lost…" Solomon said as he looked at the map.

Pedro gave a soft nay.

"I don't remember being in this part of the forest before." Solomon whispered as he looked around.

The part of the forest he normally went through didn't look so creepy. The full moon never cast any shadows and there wasn't so much wind.

The two went around for a few minutes, and then Solomon looked up.

"Hey, didn't we pass this tree already?" Solomon asked.

He got off Pedro and walked over to the tree, and then he looked up at it. He felt around it and there it was a carved heart on the tree.

"I can't believe it, we were going in circles." Solomon said.

He got onto the wagon and took a better look at the map under the lamp.

"I could have sworn we were following the map's directions." Solomon said.

He got onto Pedro and went off.

After a few more minutes, the howls of wolves could be heard.

"D-don't worry, they are far off…" Solomon whispered.

They went on, until Solomon heard growls.

He whipped his head around looking everywhere around him. Pedro let out a startled whine.

Off in the distance, there were two red glowing eyes, then behind those eyes a few more pairs appeared. Pedro galloped back slowly. Then one of the wolves jumped forward barking.

Pedro freaked, he stood up on his hind legs and went galloping off in the other direction.

From that point, Solomon was trying his best to hang onto his frightened ride.

Solomon looked behind him and saw that the wolves weren't chasing them. He tried his best to calm Pedro into stopping, it worked.

"Okay, those things are gone." Solomon said. "Everything's alright…"

Pedro came to a full stop, giving Solomon a chance to get off of him. Solomon went to the wagon and was amazed when he saw that the candle was still lit in the lantern. He picked it up and went back onto Pedro.

"Okay, let's go…" Solomon said.

Pedro went into a slow gallop, soon growling noises were heard again.

Pedro went up onto his hind legs again wailing; this time Solomon wasn't ready and he fell off. Pedro went galloping off with out him.

The light was out in the lantern and Solomon couldn't really see anything, but he could hear the growls of wolves. Solomon slowly got up on to his feet and backed away from the growling. The same wolf that jumped forward before came out; and let out a loud roar of a bark. Solomon whirled around and ran off. The wolves went after him.

Solomon ran as fast as he could to get away from the wolves. As the wolves ran after him, they were all growling and barking. Solomon stumbled a little as his foot hit a rock, but he regained balance and kept running, he could easily tell that this was the fastest running that he had ever done in his whole entire life. He looked forward blindly, not seeing very well in the dark.

Something in the distance, which the moon's light, was shining on caught Solomon's eye.

'A castle…' Solomon thought. He picked up a little speed so he could get there faster.

The wolves also picked up speed and one of them was starting to snap at Solomon's feet.

"Ahhh!!!" Solomon yelled.

Finally the castle gates came into view and he ran over to them, he opened the gates and brought himself inside, quickly closing it to avoid the teeth of the wolves.

Some of the wolves ran straight into the gate, letting out yelps and howls of pain.

Solomon fell onto the ground, and blacked out.


The next time Solomon woke up, he found himself covered in a thin layer of snow. He sat up and looked at the gates, the wolves were gone.

"Oh thank the heavens…" Solomon said as he stood up.

He looked around him as he walked up to the castle. It must have not been snowing for long because the snow on the ground was barely visible through all the grass.

Solomon came up to the doors of the castle. He saw a knocking handle and lifted it up and down. He could hear the banging knock from the outside as they rang through out the inside. After about five minutes of knocking, he pushed open the door and found it unlocked. He slowly walked in, quietly closing the door behind him.

"Hello?" Solomon called. "Hello? Is anyone here?"

He walked around and looked around, listening to see if he could here anyone.


On a little table in the living room, were two little items. The items were a clock and a candle holder. From the table in the living room, both items could be clearly seen from where Solomon was standing, but Solomon wasn't paying attention to them; but the items were paying attention to him.

"Just be quiet Ash…" Gary (clock) murmured. "He might go away…"

"Oh c'mon…" Ash (candle) whispered. "He might have trouble and might need help."

Gary opened his grey eyes and looked at Ash.

"If he stays here, he'll be in trouble." Gary whispered.

"If we don't help him now, I'll feel guilty…" Ash said as he opened his pink eyes. "And you don't want me feeling that way, don't you?"

Gary turned away, blushing. He liked Ash, but would never admit it. Ash didn't know about it, but always knew how to make Gary cave in.

"Alright, but once the masters wake up, we hide him, then he leaves." Gary whispered. "Got that?"

Ash nodded, just as Solomon entered the living room. Both items got into their stances. (Their stances are them acting like the items they are, not moving a bit.)

When Solomon entered the living room, he was following voices that he was sure he was hearing.

"Hello, is anyone in here?" Solomon asked as he looked around.

"Yes there is…" Ash said.

"Who's there?" Solomon asked worriedly.

"You don't have to worry, just look over here." Ash said.

Solomon looked to his right.

"Look down…" Gary said.

Solomon followed the direction and looked down. His eyes widened at what he saw.

"I-it can't b-be!" Solomon said as he staggered back.

"Yes it can." Ash said as he jumped up and down.

"Ash calm down!" Gary said.

Ash let out a yelp as Solomon picked him up.

"Absolutely amazing…" Solomon whispered.

"Put me down, you're tickling me!" Ask laughed.

"Yeah, put him down!!!" Gary yelled.

Solomon gently set Ash down, then picked up Gary.

"Hey, put me down!!!" Gary yelled as he was picked up.

Solomon flipped him upside down and shook him.

Ash laughed at the faces that Gary gave.

"Hey, what's going on in there?!" A voice yelled.

"Tea, come in here!!!" Ash called. "We have a guest!!!"

A wheel cart came into the room, with a teapot on it.

"Oh my…" Tea said. "Who are you?"

Solomon placed Gary down.

"My name is Solomon…" Solomon said.

"Well, you are welcomed to stay." Tea said.

"But-" Gary was cut off by Tea.

"Follow us." She said.

Before the cart went off, Ash jumped on.

"Gary, come on…" Ash said.

The cart wheeled off and Solomon followed, Gary jumped on just on time to be taken along.

"Guys, he can't stay here for too long, the masters-" Gary was cut off again.

"Have just taken their tea." Tea said. "They won't be able to wake up even with a fire raging upon their bodies."

"Do you think we can put that up to the test some time?" Ash asked as his flames grew a little larger.

"If you ever do put it up to the test, you're on you own." Tea said.

The cart wheeled into the living room.

"Please sir, take a seat." Ash said pointing to a huge one person sofa.

Solomon slowly walked over to the chair and dropped his weary body upon it.

"What are you doing?!" Gary said. "Get up, the masters will smell your scent!"

"Gary be nice, when he gets up we'll get the scent out of the sofa, you don't have to worry." Tea said.

"I think you do have to worry." A new voice rang.

Everyone looked to the entrance of the living room, only to see a little wolf puppy.

"Master Mokuba, what are you doing up so late?" Tea asked nervously.

"I wanted to see what was going on down here." Mokuba said. "And I want to help."
