Chap. 4 Finally

That night at 6:00 everyone met Ahiru at the at the fountain ion the courtyard. The night was calm, the air was full of moisture, and the sun was setting slowly.

"So what's up Ahiru?" Rue asked

"Yeah what's going on?" Mytho asked

"Well you all know Drosselmeyer and Kai right?"

"Duh now get on with it Duck." Fakir said calmly

"Hmph! Well Drosselmeyer had a daughter. She decided to write a sequel to the Priz und the Rabe. Kai is a character she added and like Mytho has Fakir as a knight I have Kai as my knight, That's what Kai told me the other day. As for the rest we'll have to figure out." Ahiru said

Fakir stood up and went over to Ahiru. He said "Ahiru will you come with me, for a second?"

"Uh…sure."

Fakir guided Ahiru by the arm through the park forest whatever you want to call it. They walked for sometime with nothing said between them. Finally Fakir stopped and turned to face Ahiru. Ahiru also stopped and faced him.

"Ahiru… is what you said true?"

"Yes, Kai is nothing but a knight in this new story. So naturally he'll be around me to protect me."

"Nothing more than that?"

"Nothing more and nothing less. Trust me, if it makes you feel better I don't like him at all." Ahiru said calmly.

"Really?" Fakir asked a little unsure.

"Yes." Ahiru said softly but still looking up into his eyes.

Fakir gathered her up in his arms. He held her tight. Ahiru could nothing except put her head on his shoulder. The air seemed so light and clean. Her head felt really light, almost as if it wasn't even there. Fakir was so warm. She never wanted to leave his arms. Anything but leave right now was good.

Then Fakir whispered in her ear. "I love you. I'm sorry for what was never said. I love you."

Ahiru's head got even lighter and she felt like she was going to faint but she held strong. She whispered back. "I love you, too. What took you so long to say it?"

" I don't know. But it was eating me up inside. I had to say it before it was too late."

The stayed wrapped in each others arms for a while. It grew almost completely dark. The moon was shinning bright up above, The stars twinkled and shown brightly. The air continued to be light. The trees and bushes were quite and all you could hear was each other's breathing.
Which was light anyway. It was perfect.

After what seemed like an eternity they fell apart. Fakir took Ahiru's hand and they walked back to the school dorms. They walked together in silence. What was there to say that all ready hasn't been said?

"So what happened with Ahiru?" Mytho asked Fakir as he walked into the room.

"Nothing." Fakir answered as he sat down on his bed.

"Don't play me for a fool as you did when I had no heart, I know something happened so tell!"

"Well I finally told her what I've kept secret."

"Damn finally! What took you so long?" Mytho demanded of Fakir.

"Look I guess, now it's different."

"How so?"

"Well Ahiru is a girl instead of a duck. Who knows how long she'll stay that way."

"Oh that's right. Well then we need find a way to keep her a girl. Because you writing her story sure isn't going to keep her this way."

"…" Fakir said nothing all he did was look at the floor beneath him.

"Ok…can you believe what she told us today. You know about Kai and all that."

"Yeah. Hey why did you and Rue come to my apartment the other day?"

"Oh well me and her where sleeping and then all of a sudden we wake up and it was because of the Raven!"

"What! Are you sure!"

"Yes. That's why we sought you and Ahiru,"

"Damn it things are so complicated. Ok then we need to find out what's going on."

"Don't you mean figure out?"

"Shut up it's the same thing."

"Alright well then in the morning I'll get Rue and Kai up and we'll meet you and Ahiru outside the doors to the main building."

"Ok fine." Fakir said and lay down in his bed and turned of the lights.
