HEY!! It's been like forever since i updated, but here i am!! Ok, so i updated this, uncluding some vital things that i left out the first time... Enjoy. :D

I raced away from Bolvangar with Samentos flying with me as a peregrine falcon. It was a miracle we managed to escape from that horrible place. I ran straight into a snowstorm, hoping that would cover my tracks. My body was scarred from the whips for not telling the director where Samentos was hidden. My dark brown hair was a mangled mess, and I was wearing nothing but two sizes-too-small shorts. The snow stung my new wounds. My feet were blistered and bloody, as well as my hands. My arms and legs hurt from the non-stop work and torture.

Samentos shrieked and I knew we were being chased. This was the farthest we've ever escaped, but I knew there was a cliff about 20 feet ahead. I reached it in about a minute and picked up a small pebble to use as my medium. The drugs that were nullifying my powers were finally wearing off. I knew I didn't have enough energy to fly over the cliff, so I jumped. About halfway down the cliff, I threw the pebble down and muttered the incantation.

"Muto Porta!!" Change this pebble into a gate. The pebble stopped moving inches from the fast flowing river. It hovered and quivered before expanding into a purple swirling vortex. I dove into it head first. Samentos was right behind me. The men at the cliff's edge cursed. I had finally gotten away, but it almost killed me.

I awoke under warm blankets. My body ached slightly from a long rest. I looked around the room, hoping to see something I recognize. But the walls here were coated a deep shade of blue. I heard shuffling outside the door and I strained to hear what was being said.

"Annik! He cannot stay here!" Cough, cough.

"But Father! He has nowhere else to go."

"He is marked a Fugitive, Annik. I will not go to prison for harboring him. Get rid of him."

"But Father-"

"Now."

The door opened and a pair of feet entered while the other clacked down the hall. A dark boy, with strangely familiar features entered the room quietly. His black hair was cut low. His wide rimmed glasses were hanging low on the bridge of his nose. Around one of his arms was a curled King Cobra.

"Finally you are awake, Alex."

"Who are you? Where am I? Where is Samentos? How do you know my name?"

"Annik and this is Alasdair" He pointed to the Cobra. "My house. You are wanted for a bounty. Who?"

"My Daemon."

Annik started to speak, but I cut him off with my Latin chanting.

"Adesdum Samentos. Adesdum Samentos." Come to me Samentos.

A light flashed and Samentos appeared in the form of a white ferret at my feet.

"Annik, this is Samentos."

Annik's jaw fell open. "How... How did you do that??"

"I'm the son of a very powerful Venificus."

"What does that mean?"

I smile. "Witch." I looked at Samentos and I saw his eyes turn black, and I knew he was having a vision. Moments later, his eyes returned to normal color.

"What did you see?"

"Two big Venator."

"Crap! We have to go! You need to come with me now!"

"But Father-"

I looked at Sam, but he just shook his head. "We can't save both of you. I'm sorry. The worst they'll they could do is kill him. They can do much worse to you." I touched the scar on my arm.

"Say goodbye. Thats all we have time for. No questions. Got it?"

Annik nodded solemly. He left the room, and I could hear words being said quietly.

"I understand Annik. If you must go, please take this. I was saving it for when you turn 17, but you will need it now."

"Thanks Father. I love you."

"I know. Now leave." Annik's father said as someone knocked on the door.

Annik returned to the room and quietly shut the door behind him.

"Okay. I will go with you." Annik choked out between sobs.

"Good. Now do you have a circular object I could use as a portal?"

Annik slipped off a ring, and handed it to me.

"Muto Porta!" I threw the ring against the wall and it exploded into another swirling vortex.

"Where will this take me?"

"Hopefully far, far away." I muttered and pushed Annik and Alasdair through the portal.

Just as I leaped to jump into the portal, a big muscular hand grabbed my foot. The Venator threw me against a wall. His hand was gripping me so tight I couldn't hank away.

"Liberatio!" I screamed and his hand snapped open.

The other Venator was entering my portal to retrieve Annik. I jumped in and immediately I felt the weight of the two Venator on my spell. The portal dropped the six of us on a beach. I attacked the closest stunned Venator.

"Aqua Ingruo!" Water Attack! A wall of water soared right into the Venator.

"Alex! Where is my ring?"

"Adesdum Orbis!" Come to me ring.

The ring popped on the ground by Annik. And he picked it up. Annik pushed the emblem of a heart, and a sword emerged. I stood there stunned. He swung the sword and attacked like an expert. The Venator unsheathed his own blade and they started fighting. Both aiming to kill.

Annik swung with rapid speed even though the sword looked quite heavy. The Venator deflected the assault with difficulty. The Venator lunged with the blade, and Annik easily moved out of the way, and stabbed the Venator in the side. The Venator didn't seem to notice. Annik jumped back as the Venator's blade sliced through the air where Annik just stood. Annik swung again this time aiming for the Venator's head. The Venator raised his blade just in time, and when the blades collided, a shower of blue sparks danced in the air.

Hands grabbed me from behind and lift me into the air. Sam turned into a Black Panther and attacked the Venator holding me. His big paws knocked me out of the Venator's hands. Sam continued his attack now joined by Alasdair, in the form of a White Bengal tiger. Sam and Alasdair were attacking the Venator like trained team. Sam and Alasdair circled the Venator, two big cats, working together in sync. Sam leaped at the Venator; claws extended, and let out a growl as those big paws knocked the Venator down. Alasdair and Sam attacked the fallen Venator.

Since the Daemons were fighting the Venator, so I decided to help Annik. The only problem was I didn't remember the spell to conjure a sword.

Another Venator popped through my portal. I turned just in time to avoid getting hit with his blade. He kept swinging the blade, and I continued to dodge it, slowly backing up.

"Terra Ingruo!" I yelled and the ground beneath him started shaking. The earth shot up like a geyser. It threw him up, and he landed in a mangled pile of limbs and guts. I felt someone creeping up behind me. "Inflatus." I muttered as I spun around. Annik flew backwards and soared to the water. He was so quiet, I had hardly heard him.

I laughed and said, "Aqua Medidus." The water puffed up like a marshmallow, and he bounced when he landed. He crawled back to shore, soaking wet.

"Who the hell were those people?!" Annik asked.

"Bounty Hunters called the Venator. Let's keep moving." I say and turn away from the coast.

Chapter 2 coming soon. Like sometime this week. :D
