Chapter 3
Kira woke up and opened the wall to find the prince still asleep. Kira walked over and cupped her hands around his ear.
"wake up!!" she yelled. The prince started and opened his eyes to Kira smiling down at him.
"Good since your awake you can help milk the cows and gather eggs for breakfast." Kira handed him a bucket.
"I'm a prince! I don't milk cows!" Snapped Leion. Kira turned and looked at him a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"I have two kinds of guests in this house Mr. Rolan. Prisoners which don't get to go home at lunch and get bad milk and stale bread for breakfast, and working guests who help with breakfast and get to go home."
Leion stood up grumbling. "Scamp!" Kira called to the fawn colored dog lying in the door way.
"Oh come on! I was in the middle of a dream!"
"Sorry but I need you to round up the cows"
"REALY!! Ok I'm going, going gone!" Cried the pooch from outside.
Good morning Kira"I heard you all most got yourself killed...again"Meowed a white cat as she leaped on to the back of the couch. "Shade really is a bad influence on you I'm afraid."
" Oh please! You have almost gotten yourself almost killed plenty times!" Meowed Shade from her spot at the fire place.
"At least I can see my opponent!" Star hissed back.
"And your opponent can see you since you stick out like a cat to white for her own good!" Snapped Shade.
"Why you little black stupid bundle of fur!!"
Both cats where now face to face with there backs arched and tails raised.
"Both of you cut it out! Or I will throw you into the pond and you will spend the day playing with Scamp! And shame on you we have a guest and all you two can do is bicker?" Snapped Kira. Both cats lowered there tails and looked down at their paws. Kira briskly walked out the back door with the astonished prince on her heals.
"You have wild magic?" gasped the prince.
"No I just have a way with animals. And no I don't have the gift either. Only men have magic." Kira said bitterly. Kira went back to milking the cows and the prince gathered eggs.
"So if your mother didn't die because of money why did she die?" asked Leion.
"Well your majesty..."
"Call me Leion. Your majesty makes me sound old" interrupted Leion.
"My Mother died because the men where looking for me." Said Kira ignoring him.
"Why would they be looking for a five year old girl? And who?" Questioned Leion.
"Why? I don't know why but I do know who. It was the Wildfire gang..." said Kira said her eyes burning with hate.
"Oh...I'm sorry." Said Leion. "Oh what did you say to Gore when he got all mad and had his men go after you?"Kira laughed.
"I said your not a messenger. But I can be. If he didn't let you go me and my Falcons would go to the sheriff and tell him where he was. And by calling him a mouse I called him scared and he only goes for easy prey."
"Really? Wait you called me easy prey? " the prince asked a bit offended. Kira laughed again.
"Kira? There's someone coming up the path." Barked Scamp.
"Friend or foe?" asked Kira with mind speech.
"Um...Both?" Replied Scamp. Kiri swore.
"What? What did I say?" said Leion.
"What? Oh nothing I need you to hide. Quickly!" Kira grabbed his hand and opened the wall. Kiri turned
"ok stay in here and don't make a sound!" Kiri shoved him in and closed the wall.
"Hello!? Kitten? Are you home Kitten?" Kiri winced at the pet name.
"Come in Harry." Kiri heard Leion snicker. She hit the wall sending him a warning. Harry came in and gave her a hug.
"How is my little sister?" He asked. He was not really her brother but he had no family either so they adopted each other.
"Fine thank you." She said breaking away from the hug. "Look now's not a good time."
"What? Why?" He asked plopping him self down next to Shade. Shade hissed her displeasure and raised a paw to scratch him. He leaped of the couch and Shade snapped her tail back and forth in frustration.
"That is one strange cat." Harry said looking at Shade.
"Look. I need to pick up some stuff from Sara ok? So could you come back later?"
"I could come with you!" he said.
"NO! I mean...no. That would be a bad idea since the cops are looking for you more than me right now."
"You right I'll see you later!" He said running off.
"Harry is so nice and yet so stupid." Kira said to Shade.
"Hello? Over here...in the wall." Called Leion.
Kira walked over and put her palm to the wall opening it.
"how do..."
"We should get you home." Kira interrupted before he could ask how she opens the wall. Kira called to Rover her front guard dog.
"Ok you know the drill. Star is coming with me, I will be back tonight I have some shopping to do." She kissed him black forehead and walk out the door with the prince on her heels.
"you are not to tell your parent that I am alive that you stayed in my home or that you saw me. Let every one think I'm blonde an have blue eyes."
"Ok." Was his short reply. Kira was hit by an idea.
"Are their records in the castle? Like of events that happened with gangs?" Kira asked.
"Ya why?" The prince said cautiously.
"No reason." She replied smiling. "I leave you here." She said stopping just before the front gate of the palace.
"See you around." He said walking off. Half way back he turned and waved then kept walking.
"He likes you!" Purred Star.
"Does not!" Kira said blushing.
"You like him back!!" She purred excitedly. Kira blushed then walked over to the dress store.
"Since when do you buy dresses?" Asked Star.
"Since I started going to balls." Kira said smiling.
