CHAPTER ONE

REN POV

Finally! After a month of tracking we had finally succeeded in finding Kelsey!

We broke into the hotel room, and, with our tiger stealth, slipped passed Lokesh, who seemed to be sound asleep. We entered Kelsey's bedroom and she, too, was asleep in a large bed.

Kishan and I walked over to her. "Kelsey, wake up." I whispered and shook her a bit.

"What do you want, Lokesh? I want to sleep." she groaned, not opening her eyes and putting a pillow over her head.

"It's not Lokesh." I whispered.

At that she recognized my voice. She opened her eyes and they went wide with shock. "What the hell are the two of you doing here?" she whispered fiercely.

"Rescuing you, what do you think?" Kishan whispered back.

"Come on, we're getting out of here." I said.

When she didn't make a move to get out of bed, I gasped in shock, "You want to stay here?"

"Of course not. I would rather fight The Hulk and Ironman combined. If you wouldn't mind getting these covers off me please."

I looked at her quizzically. But then Kishan and I each grabbed an end of the covers and pulled them off her.

We gasped. Kelsey legs were bound together, and her hands to her sides with rope; but that's not what froze us, it was the IV cord that was attached to the inside of her wrist and was leading to what looked like a blood bag with clear liquid inside.

I untied the ropes that bound her wrists and Kishan her feet. When Kelsey's hands were free she ripped off the IV.

"Now I can use my lightning power. That was a drug that kept me from using it."

I swept her up in my arms, but before I took one step, I realized she felt much lighter. "Why are you so light?"

She shrugged, "Its called loosing weight, Ren. You can put me down you know."

I ignored her remark. "Kishan, hold her. Doesn't she feel lighter to you?"

I placed Kelsey gently in his arms and he replied that he thought so, too.

"Guys, that's very kind of you to take such notice, but we really should get going. If we stay any longer, Lokesh is sure to hear you and come in and capture you."

That got us going and we snuck out of the hotel and to the car. We drove to where we had the plane. Mr. Kadam came down the jet's stairs and Kelsey ran to him. They hugged and the sight was so peculiar that I started laughing out loud.

"What's so funny?" Kishan asked me.

"A beautiful young woman in short pajamas hugging an old man in a business suit."

Now Kishan started laughing, too and we just watched her for a little while. The joy of having her back was greater than any other feeling! He watched her perfect lips move as she talked with Kadam; her beautiful brown waves bouncing up and down when she nodded; her eyes light up when she laughed. His love for her overwhelmed all else, but when she glanced with a worried expression at them, he dreaded the words that were to come.

They walked slowly up the stairs to the jet and Kelsey climbed into one of the cots and got her probably her first good night's sleep in a month.
