It was a silent night. Hannah was sleeping in bed. when she heard Strange noises from outside. Curious she walked outside to find the cause. While walking around following the sound it slowly grew louder. Hannah started to realize what it sounded like. It was crying.... She followed the sound to the bench in the middle of town. She saw a figure sitting on the bench.

 "Hello? are you okay?" Hannah asked the strange figure. The figure stopped. and vanished instantly. Hannah froze. It couldn't of been her imagination. After standing there for awhile she went home. And went to bed.

The next day everyone was gathered for a meeting in the middle of town. Hannah slid into the group of her friends attending the meeting. In front of everyone was Susan telling everyone to calm down. 

"Okay we've had a nice break from work but... We need to start hunting Thimble, He has some kind of Magical weapon at the moment and we need to go find him... Wait... are we missing someone?" Susan explained ending abruptly. Everyone looks around wondering where the missing member was. Hannah realized that Marley was missing. She had a revelation. Could of that crying figure from last night been her? 

"Susan! Marley's not here I'll go get her!" Hannah yelled to Susan. Susan flashed a thumbs up to Hannah as she ran past.

Hannah ran up to Marley's house. It was designed to look like the mansion she had used to live in. She walked in and saw it was very dark. (the door was unlocked) Everything was dusty and had looked like it hadn't been touched in a long time. She walked through the house suddenly getting the chills. She saw a old dusty picture on some old cabinet. Hannah went over to examine the portrait. On it was three figures. A little girl, a white haired boy, and a... Hannah gasped. She was about to grab the picture when she felt herself stop.

She stood there with her hand stretched out about to touch the picture. She willed herself to move forward. But she was kept in place by some unseen force. "Don't touch my picture." A voice bellowed surrounding Hannah from every angle. Hannah was suddenly very afraid. Then suddenly with no warning a figure Appeared behind Hannah. Soon Hannah felt she could move again. And moved her hand away from the picture. She slowly turned around to meet with Marley. She was startled to see that Marley who was always sad and not much for talking suddenly Glaring back at her.

"Why are you here?" Marley said coldly. Fear flowed through Hannah's body.

 "We..well we were... uh wondering whe-where you were...." Hannah stuttered. The glare was gone from Marley's face and she looked away.

 "I'm not coming..." she sighed. Hannah stared back calming down a little. 

"Are you... Why?" Hannah asked. Marley just faded away. Feeling slightly defeated Hannah left Marley's house. she reported back to Susan who had finished her speech to the Elementals a while ago. 

"Weird... but you know her... She's kind of fragile after what she's been through, Anyway we will launch our attack on Thimble in a few days you should prepare." Susan replied to Hannah.
