"Wait!" Peter's voice yelled. I stopped and the portal I had been making disappeared.
Lexian and I turned to Peter who came flying back into his house along with Tinkerbell. The look on his face expression a mix of terror and reverence. I sighed.
"We're taking him Peter," I said tired of him.
"But he's just a kid...." Peter answered. "Don't harm him!"
"Peter....stop...." Anamx said to the surprise of all of us. "I've done some things....and I had to face up to them now....I'll go with them."
"But Anamx...." Peter started.
"I knew it would happen some day..." Anamx answered. "And I prepared. Thanks for everything Peter."
Anamx stepped fowards despite Lexian's grip and hugged Peter.
"Thanks Peter, but I have to grow up too," Anamx said calmly releasing Peter from the hug.
"Don't hurt him...." Peter said quietly.
Lexian gave Peter a look and nodded.
"We just want information Peter. If he resists there will be problems end of story," Lexian answered.
Peter sighed, and finally nodded.
"Ok....just don't hurt him ok...." Peter said looking away.
I opened the portal back to Oblivion and as we stepped back into the castle, the smell of normality flooded me. I sighed and opened another portal.
"We have to keep this from everyone at the moment," I said calmly. "Let's use...."
"Welcome back," the Leader's words scissored me off. Lexian and I both turned to look at him.
"So you have the child I see," the Leader said calmly. "Take him to the central basement. I don't need any distractions from the attack on Citadel."
"Fine," I answered.
Lexian gave the Leader a glare, but in a split second the Leader was gone. I looked at Lexian and he looked at me.
"Come on," I said opening the portal to the central basement. Several chairs awaited us. One of them had manacles for both arms and legs. I looked at Lexian who looked at Anamx who sighed. We locked him down on the chair.
"Now then," I started.

Minx lay back on her bed despite the fact Le Faix was on the bed as well. She all but laid down on Le Faix.
"Hey watch it!" Le Faix said backing up.
"Then get off my bed," Minx answered laying her head down on the largest pillow in the shape of a heartless. "I'm tired....."
"I still can't understand why you let him boss you around Mix," Le Faix started. "That Xerebus guy......"
"Is the most perfect nobody in the worlds," Minx continued. "And I would do anything for him. He saved me, so I'm repaying him."
"If he's so perfect why did you sound dead when you said it?" Le Faix shot back.
"Because I'm tired," Minx answered. She rolled over and summoned a mirror infront of Le Faix.
"What the....." Le Faix started.
"You won't be able to break it so leave me alone," Minx said curling up into a fetal position.
"Five minutes ago you were happy as a clam in the sea and now you're deader than Jack the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town," Le Faix started.
"I'm just tired," Minx answered.
"Does he seriously mean that much to you?" Le Faix continued.
"He's like a brother I never had or ever will have. It's the same as why you want to kill Kyxsha because she killed your sister," Minx answered. "I can never have a brother, so Xerebus-sama fills the void."
"And what about that guy you went to see at Oblivion?" Le Faix asked carefully. She didn't want to intrude too much to where Minx would recoil and start fighting.
"He's nobody," Minx answered tightening into an even smaller ball.
The mirror defense around Citaldel began to strengthen with the release of Minx's energy.
"I want to protect Xerebus-sama and my Verex-sama......but Xerebus-sama is fine on his own....so I do things for him.....and Verex-sama loves RaXi....so he constantly throws himself into danger....and Marlex-sama, Serix-sama, Tanex-sama, and Xeros-sama neither talk to me nor play with me....and still I feel the need to protect them.....because I don't want to lose them...."
Suddenly the mirrors around the castle strengthened to where they could be partly visible. A bluish tint occupied the areas where the mirrors were, but they surrounded the castle impenetrably.
"Minx are you ok?" Le Faix asked feeling the power radiating out of Minx.
"I don't want to be lonely....I don't want to be lonely.....I don't want to be alone...I want.....Kristian!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly the mirrors surrounding the castle shattered and absorbed into the castle itself. The defensive power of Citadel was at it's max. Minx curled up even more. The holes where the mirrors had once left openings were gone. Nothing could enter or leave the castle.....
"Minx what are you doing!" Le Faix said running to the window. As she tried to shove open the windows, she met what could only be described as a glass barrier. As she touched the barrier a sharp memory of her sister dying entered her mind. Le Faix recoiled instantly.
"So......this is....Minx's power to it's fullest......" Le Faix said.
"I don't want it....I don't want it....I don't want it...." Minx said in a daze now closing her eyes tightly.
