Chapter 3:

H-he saw me!? Oh dear sprites he SEE'S me!

I gasped in shock as he slowly rose to his feet.

"You...you can see me?" I stuttered as he took one step closer to me.

"What are you?" He whispered, loud enough for me to hear him across the large clearing.

I was about to speak again until I heard more rustling in the bushes behind him, much louder than before mixed in with shouts from what seemed to be from 3-4 men.

The man then ran to the centre of the clearing and started waving his good arm motioning for me to leave.

"You have to leave now! If they find you they'll hurt you!" He shouted, "Leave!"

"Aww well look at that. Ivan's finally lost it." A man chuckled walked into the clearing wearing a dark brown leather jacket over a black shirt.

"Perhaps the drugs finally kicked in." A man to the right of the man in the leather jacket smirked. This one was close to my height with a white fedora resting on his head to match with a white dress shirt under a dark brown blazer.

"Or, he's losin' it from all the blood he's lost." A dark man smiled wickedly examining a bloodied switch blade in his left hand.

"Bastards." The light haired man growled at the three near the edge.

"Ivan, Ivan, Ivan," The middle man sighed taking two steps forward, making 'Ivan' take two back, "What have I told you about foul mouthing us?"

"You know the boss doesn't like to be sworn at, Ivan." The dark man warned placing his hands at his hips shaking his head.

"You remember what happened the last time you were being naughty?" The fedora man said in a sing song voice.

The boy shuddered visibly which made the men chuckle lightly.

"Your name is Ivan...right?" I whispered taking a step closer to him.

He looked towards me and nodded, "What is it Ivan? Thinking of jumping? Oh you do know that if you do that, we will have to find some other means to make you sister repay everything herself." The middle man said.

"Nyet! You keep your filthy hands off my sister!" He turned his attention back to them to send them a threatening glare.

"Ivan. I'm going to try something. Okay?" I whispered again as I then closed my eyes and clasped my hands together trying to focus my magick.

After I murmured a small chant a blue light began to form in the palms of my hand, I forced my mind to concentrate harder, as I pressed by brain harder the blue light grew bigger and brighter.

"Ivan. I know that you are trying to protect your sister; however it will only be a matter of time till you finally collapse. So why don't you just stop yourself while you are still ahead of the game and just surrender. That way your sister is safe and you lessen your visits with the police by becoming our toy. It's simple, her or you." The man in the leather jacket said motioning his hands like a balance beam trying to give Ivan an idea of the situation.

"Ivan don't listen to them. I'm...almost...there!" I shouted as I then twisted my palms 90 degrees in opposite directions a swung my arms wide open releasing a pulse of energy as water came rushing up over the edge of the cliff and rushed towards the guys avoiding Ivan from the surge.

Once the water stopped flowing my head began to spin.

"Matthew I'm done-Matthew!" I heard Arthur yell as I saw a blurred vision of the Fae in his human form rushing towards me.

Before I fell on my face I felt strong arms catch me.

I looked up to see Ivan's face.

"Matthew. Matthew are you okay?" I felt my body began to shift from his arms to Arthur's who laid me down on the ground to straddle my head in his lap.

"What the hell were you thinking lad? You could have knocked yourself unconscious!" his voice sounded stern but I knew he was worrying a lot and was using the strong front to try and keep himself calm and composed.

"Well Ivan was in danger; I couldn't just stand there and do nothing, especially when he can see me." I mumbled as I tried to get my brain to refocus on the world around me.

"Ivan?" Arthur mumbled before snapping his head to look at Ivan in the face and began to curse at him in the Wood Fae language.

"Arthur be nice, he needs more help than I do. Please, help him." I begged as I drew Arthur's attention to look me in the eye.

He paused for a couple of seconds before he sighed and gave in, "Well we need to go back to your house and let Francis know the plans aren't exactly going as planned."

I nodded my head as I closed my eyes and slowly changed my forms; I felt Ivan's eyes on me, probably shocked at the transition of my hands, skin and feet from their colour and appearance to ones of a human.

"Thank you." I heard Ivan mumble to me as Arthur and I led him back to Francis' place.


I am REALLY sorry about the long wait for new chapters, but I had a major paper in one of my classes and of course I had so many health problems that arose during last semester and now. I mean like I found out I'm anemic and docs almost said I had blood clots in my lungs. Yeah not so fun, plus I have a broadcasting project due soon. So yeah I'll be busy but I will try to make some more new chapters, but there will probably be some distance between updates.

Note: I decided to just switch to bolding what ever Ivan says in Russian since it would be easier that way since I do not know Russian and don't want to get anything incorrect or anything. Plus saves me some time to get these chapters done.
