Hello again in this chapter Reinrassig III and Gerissan will have more interaction with Ever. We also get to see Ever's new doctor. Plz review and no flames. Enjoy. I don't own the song "Fly" by beckah shae
Ever woke up with a yawn, her sharp teeth glinted in the sunlight that shone through the great window. She rubbed drowsily at her eyes and stretched. She grabbed a green and yellow bathroom towel when a sobering thought struck her. 'If my parents really are looking for me, are they close to finding me? Hopefully not' she shruged to that unanswered question and continued to walk to the bathroom. She reached into one of her many bags and pulled out a hairbrush. She had remembered when her moter had given her the comb and the day this whole mess started.
Soft winds blew around her ebony form, the smell of the sea overrode her rational thought. The sight and the sounds of her home made her love it so much. Exotic birds flitted around, the sun shone down on white sand, and the water rushed up to her feet. She splashed into the water twirling and dancing and bending the the water around her form. She concentrated on bending the water away from her own manna. Fish swam fastly away from her while her eyes glowed their electric blue color. 'Just a little more aand' "EVELYN!" Her blue energy broke into pieces and the water splashed loudly into the sea. Turning around slowly facing the source of the noise, was her mother an entirely white anodte with streaks of blue and green in her hair.
"Yes Mathem" she answered annoyed "What is it now, you've completely ruined my concentration."
"You know that you still need to get ready for the ceremony."
"...but, but"
"None of that young lady." Ever slouched "Your coming with me."
Ever sighed and looked into the mirror at her own reflection.
"Darling you look gorgeous." Her mother beemed
The sparkling white dress accented her soft curves and lit up her face and raven colored hair. A frown was plastered on her face. If only she was born a peasent then she wouldn't have to go through this hell.
"Look now dear," She nudged Ever towards the mirror. "I know that this is hard for you, it's hard for me too. Especially watching my little one grow up so fast. I'm not ready for you to go just yet, but I have to." Her mother wasn't crying, but she was trying hard to keep them from falling.
"I wan't to give you this." It was a comb. Ever gasped in awe as the tiny trinket shimmered in the dull light of her room. It seemed to be breathing as if a living soul was captured inside.
"Mathem, it's beautiful." she breathed softly. It's frame was made of gold and embroided with the most precious of Ailanthia's gems.
"I know that you are completely wary of having to be wed at such a young age, but I also want you to know that I never wanted you to be married either. " Ever blinked away a tear, touched that her mother actually understood. She leaned forward and embraced her regal mother with a hug.
She stood in front of the mirror and started to brush her glowing silky white hair, and tending to herself.
Reinrassig III sat in his magnificent office, quietly doing his work when a knock at the door interupted him. He sighed, "Enter" he said unable to look up slightly because he had a rough morning. "Good Morning Sir." came Gerissan's cheerful reply "Um... Sir?" Reinrassig looked back at him "Yes, Gerissan?"
"Is everything alright Sir?" Reinrassig paused in doing his work and sighed. Gerissan shifted from one foot to the other awaiting the answer.
"No Gerissan everything is not alright... this new guest of ours is puzzling. Ben -Ben Tennyson had told me she has... complications with our kind... keep a very close eye on her, I don't entirely trust her." Gerissan grumbled under his breath. Reinrassig watched him with pity. Having himself have family members who died in the same war. Both Gerissans parents had died in the fires made by the Ailanthians. He had taked the younger highbreed under his wing during this hardship.
Gerissan bowed "I will watch over her at once."
"No! You will bring her to me first, then you may watch her. " He motioned for Gerissan to come closer "and Gerissan no matter what she does, try not to hurt her from your anger... despite your past." Gerissan's breath hitched and he shuddered, then he left, not looking back.
" Here is where I belong now
High above the fear and doubt
I know nothing can keep me down
Everywhere I look is up
It's the only way that I can fly
With the Son in my eyes
I've got love, peace and a sound mind
Rising above the clouds and the rain
I know it's going to be ok
I'll never give up
No matter what comes my way
Cause tomorrow always brings a new day
Fly, Fly, Fly higher and higher
Fly, Fly, Fly I can feel my faith arise."
Ever's beautiful soprano voice carried throughout the bathroom and into her room. Fully consumed by the song she continued to sing, twirl, dance,and bend the steaming hot water in thin ribbons around her body.
" Here is where my joy is found
High above the tears and frowns
Cause in Your presence I'm no longer bound
Looking forward to the great unknown
Cause it is well with my soul
I put my trust in You alone
Cause I know You are faithful
And as I wait
You give me new strength
To run and not grow weary
walk and not faint
Soaring on love
With forgiveness as the key
I'm unlocking Your truth and freedom in me
Gerissan stopped in front of Ever's door debating if he should go in or not, he looked up then put the side of his head to her door
Fly, Fly, Fly higher and higher
Fly, Fly, Fly I can feel my faith arise
Soaring, Exploring,
In new realms of glory
Oh I see, Your majesty
And I am amazed!
You cover me with your feathers
Under Your wings I am safe
I hear the beating of Your heart
And I know I'm in the right place
Fly, Fly, Fly higher and higher
Fly, Fly, Fly I can feel my faith arise
Fly, Fly, Fly higher and higher
Fly, Fly, Fly I can feel my faith arise."
"Ever?" Said person stopped and gasped then she answered with a shaky voice. "Yes?"
Gerissan cleared his throat and said almost as shaky voiced as she had answered "My lord would like to see you now." She sighed a dramatic sigh and then said
"How the hell did you even get in here?"
"I had the key"
"Damn you!" Gerissan had enough, he growled then burst through the door
"Your fully grown and yet you continue to act like a chi..." He didn't even get to finish his sentence, for Ever was in the middle of a dance move , her eyes turned hot pink, wide with surprize. What surprised him was that she wasn't spewing out curses, and he couldn't stop staring at her. The hot water was cascading around her form casting an eerie glow. Her white hair was plastered to her head. It had seemed like she had stayed in that position for ages when reality finally caught up with her. Red daggers formed and her ears were pulled back. A gutteral growl erupted from her throat then was cut short when Gerissan let out a sigh.
"I will not fight with you... I just came to tell you that my master wants to take you for a check up."
"What business does he have taking me to be checked by your kind? Even if I was sick I doubt they would know what to look for!"
Gerissan breated deeply trying to keep his composure "Just... just do it." He then left and slammed the door.
'That... that... FEMALE! Who does she think she is? I have done nothing to deserve this.' Gerissan thought angrily as he walked back to Reinrassig's office. 'Well she is Ailanthian.' That didn't make him feel better at all.
Gerissan tried to forget about it but he couldn't. His past still haunted him, what her kind did to him to his family was unforgiveable. He remembered the time he first met Reinrassig III he had been kind enought to take him in. He also remembered how he witnessed his mother and father burn in the flames.
His fists clenched and unclenched and his heart (or whatever highbreeds have) beat faster. Anger swelled up in him again and he punched the wall. It crumbled under his grasp but his hand was hurt even more than his pride. 'Not a good idea.' He held his hand in his other and continued to walk. His anger simmered and sputtered until it was snuffed out completely. Gerissan held his breath. Behind him there was some scuttering noise and turned around to catch the person, but no one was there.
'Has my anger really gotten to me so badly that I'm sensing things now?' He then turned then continued to walk away again.
**Gerissan return to my office immidiately.** Gerissan drew out a long sigh and headed toward toward Reinrassig's office.
Ever held her breath as she heard her younger gaurdian viciously punch the wall. She really felt bad now. She didn't mean to make him that mad... at all. "I truly do hate my indecisiveness. How come I couldn't just be friendly like my sister?" She watched her gaurdians receding back through the shadows. Her lithe body reflected the light from the stark hallways of the highbreed HQ.
"At this rate Rienrassig III might just be thinking about sending me back to Ben, and then plumbers will come and then they will come after me." It was time for a change of heart. There was no way she would go back to her parents especially her dad. She bounded down the hallway until she found herself staring at the mammoth of a doorway. This was probably the best time to confirm her decision.
"Here goes nothing." With a mighty push, she forced the doors open to find Rienrassig conversing with Gerissan about something she didn't care about. Both of the Highbreeds turned to her. She shifted uncomfortably under thier gaze. 'Don't be nervous.' She coaxed herself, but it wasn't working as she had planned. her eyes flickered through a number of colors before landing on sunset yellow. The hair on the back of stood on edge as Rienrassig walked towards her. On thir own accord her ears pulled themselves back and her eyes shifted color again.
He looked down at the smaller alien and he actually thought she looked... cute. In a newborn pet kinda way. A soft deep rumble reverbrated through the air as he purred.
"I see that you have gotten the message." he rumbled. He motioned for Gerissan to come closer then spoke in a language that Ever couldn't decipher, but they did look like they were in an argument. Gerissan stormed out the door like he had done earlier.
"Um... you needed me?"
"Yes, I did. I had just asked Gerissan to hail transportation so that I may get you checked."
Ever growled to herself as she currently at the back of the hover craft, in a comfortable little corner. Gerissan and Rienrassig III were conversing again and she had been trying to listen, but was losing interest. Sight seeing was out of her list of 'things to do', so she decided to ask Rienrassig III a few questions.
"Are we there yet?" a chorused no sounded from both of them
She had been asking the same question for the past forty minuets.
"Sigh... sigh... sigh...sig-"
"Ever, if you don't shut-up right now, I'll. Kill. You." Gerissan growled deeply.
"Nya!" She said back. He growled again. Rienrassig decided to step in and yell at them both, in which Ever sat pouting in her corner.
If there was anything Ever was afraid of more than being surrounded by enemies of her planet, it was... doctors, and to make it worse he was a doctor that worked for her enemies.
She shivered on the cold metal slab in her thin and almost transparent gown. The smell of disinfectant burn her nostrils. She watched warily as another Highbreed had made himself known. This one was a very pale green, with blue transluccent eyes that looked as if they could see what you didn't, or as if some higher being deemed him worthy to see what they did.
He pulled on rubber gloves and proceeded while Ever trembled violently.
"Right. Ever, I am your new doctor, Reazid... I am just checking you to see if you have any sort of disease."
Rienrassig was on the other side of the glass that seperated the frightened Ailanthian from him and his apprentice. It had been more than a chore to try to get her out of the hover craft. She had kicked, pleaded, punched and cried. She was a trembling mess when they actually had gotten into the office. Both Highbreed really had to fight, just to get her to calm down. In some respects he felt sorry for her, but the pity was miniscule considering all the trouble she had caused,all just in one day.
He inwardly winced at all the screaming coming from the inside of the room. Honey yellow eyes stared pleadingly at him, and he shifted uncomfortably. More tears flowed freely from her eyes.
Dr. Reazid had strapped the hysteric Ailanthian to the cold metal slabs. He ran a scanner over her while her screams started to quiet down. The doctor had exited the room and handed him a small pad that stated all of the procedures that she had either passed or needed. He only vaguely skimmed over the list, until he had caught sight of the one that Ever needed most.
A soft growl escaped him while the pale green doctor entered the room again with a semi-large case in hand. Gerissan braced himself for screaming and crying, but Rienrasig had cuffed him on the back of his head. They watched warily as Ever struggled against her bonds. Reazid brought out a small device with some pink glowing substance inside. Rienrassig had no idea what it was, but Ever did. She thrashed violently and screamed as he came closer.
"Just look away, it won't hurt, I promise." , but Ever was having none of it. Her hair glowed and she started to shrink. The Aithanthian now human slipped out of her bonds and started for the door...
XD Cliffhanger Bwhahahahaha I'm so evil... Don't kill me. So Ever hates doctors, come to think of it I want to be one. I'm going to put up more chapters soon don't attack me or I'll make my pet sharky eat you.
