Glancing around to make sure no one had seen her healing transformation, Annara very carefully picked up the boy named Tommy and headed out of the woods.

"Are you crazy Anni! Someone could have seen!" Mihaka exclaimed, anger making his dark eyes black.

"Mik I had to. The boy was in trouble. It's not like fire can hurt me. After all as you so often like to point out to me, I'm nearly indestructible." Annara responded with fury in her grey/blue eyes.

"I know. I know Anni. That's one of the things that I love about you. Your compassion, but, you've got to be more careful." Mihaka said, smiling at her.

"Let's get the boy to his Mother." Annara responded.

They walked towards the Mystic Grill, since they were closest too it.

"Tommy! Tommy!" a woman shouted running towards Annara and Mihaka. "Is he alright? He tends to wander off at times. He hadn't done it in a while and I was frantic when I didn't see him in our back yard."

"He's fine. There was a fire in the woods, but, my friend here put it out. He's done firefighting for his native community." Annara responded

"Thank God. How can I ever repay you? I'm Sharon Smythe." The woman said with gratefulness in her eyes.

"You're Welcome and no repayment is necessary. The fact Tommy is safe and sound is all the reward I need." Annara said with a smile.

Sharon grabbed Annara in a big hug and looked at Annara with tears in her brown eyes and also had a large smile on her face.

"If there's anything you need. Contact me." She said handing Annara a business card from her purse.

The woman walked away with Tommy in her arms towards her car.

Annara smiled and turned towards Mihaka who was smiling.

"Let's go get something to eat! I'm starving!" Annara said.

The two mutants walked towards the grill and waved back to Sharon who was just driving off in her car and was waving at them.

Annara and Mihaka entered the grill and were soon seated at a table.

After the waiter took their orders the two looked at each other and started to laugh.

"We really are a pair. We find danger when there isn't any!" Annara said chuckling.

"You'll find more than that, love." Klaus responded with an evil glint in his eyes.

Annara suddenly became very alarmed. She glanced at Klaus.

/An Original!/ her mind screamed at her.

The Protector and the Original glared at each other…

...

another chapter will up very soon!

Klaus is going to be very, very surprised as will Damon too. ;)

This story somewhat follows Season 4 and will be slightly AU to fit in my character's of Annara and Mihaka.

Thanks for reading and please review. :)

Many thanks to those who have reviewed. :D
