Authors Note: OMG! I CAN'T BELIVE IT! I FINISHED! YAYAYAYAYAYAY! CALL THE PRESS! Well, what are you waiting for? READ! And then REVIEW! And then lets have a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig party to celebrate!
Numair walked briskly into the garden where his bother Gendron, was waiting. He stopped a couple of feet in from of him, smiling too sweetly to be innocent. Daine followed behind, under an invisibility spell. But there was no need for it. Gendron was staring at the man in front of him, full of shock. They were the only once in the garden. Finally, he seemed to come back to his senses.
"Arram." He said, returning Numair's all-too-sweet smile. "What an unpleasant surprise!"
"Wish I could say otherwise, Terris." The smile vanished into the most horrible scowl.
"How many times have I told you, you little hag-faced, chicken-minded, stormwing-smelling scum, not to use that name?!"
"Many times." Numair kept smiling. Daine could see how much he was enjoying this.
"Why you little pert! I'll teach you—" He swung a punch. Numair stood still, and smiled wider when Gendron's fist painfully collided with a suddenly dark violet shield around him.
"Oh, tut. You're forgetting, my dear brother, what spells have been put on us. You cannot come onto physical contact with me, remember?" Gendron looked furious. Daine was really getting afraid that he'd think for a moment and sound an alarm. Yet Numair seemed so sure that he wouldn't. Suddenly, he budded up a great ball of fire (the color of with was dark blue) and threw it at her friend. Numair didn't move, just stood smiling as the fireball his the same shield.
"You also cannot come into magical contact with me." Daine stifled a giggle as she watched a bucket appearing over Gendron's head. Horse dung. The bucket suddenly turned over and spilled its contents on his head.
"WHAT THE!?"
"One on my useful spells, Terris. Remember that one? Now, don't look, but you have two more above you right now, filled with something much worse. Please, tell me where you keep the dragon and I'll make sure they stay right side up." His fingers crossed behind his back.
"You little—" The first bucket turned, and suddenly unbelievable stench filled the air.
"Terris, it's come to your interest to know that whatever is in the next bucket will cause this delightful smell to be permanent." Gendron froze. He knew Numair was serious. He didn't want to smell. Daine was almost shivering with fright. He'll call an alarm. She just knew it. It was just dumb luck that he hadn't thought of it already.
"She's in the castle. Southmost wing, where the anti-magical dungeons are. The top security one. It's guarded night and day by twelve soldiers each shift. Jhonus comes during midday, usually."
"Thank you, Terris. Although I had hoped I would have to you a forceful truth spell on you." Numair smiled. The last bucket overturned and he vanished.

"But Numair, I still don't understand. Why didn't he call an alarm?" Numair grinned.
"Our father got sick of Terris running to him whenever I spilled something on him, so he put a spell on him to stop it. He can't tattle on me even now, and calling an alarm would be just that."
"So know one but him will know we're here?"
"Exactly."
"Your father was a genius."

Kitten sat on the pouf, going through different shades of green and feeling extremely happy. She felt Daine near. She was in Carthak. She didn't forget her, like that mortal said! And stork-man was there too. He came to look after Daine, which was good, because it would be horrible if she got caught just as she was about to rescue her. Kitten looked out the small window in the wall that she had ordered to be made, and nibbled on a grape. The sun was right above her. Soon the short, fat mortal would come and bride her again. She didn't like him at all. He smelled funny.
"How are you today, my sweet?" Yup. There he was. "Now, remember the little talk we had yesterday?" She remembered, turning slightly red. She didn't feel like continuing it. "Now, here's the deal. We'll let you out, and give you your whole chamber…" His voice was drowning in her mind. She was slowly turning greet. There it was! The feeling! Daine was close! Much closer then last time she felt her. And the stork-man was there, too! Good. Then she had that feeling she always did when Daine tried to get into her mind. With a tingle of red (she was still mad about the dinner) she let her in. There she was, sitting cross-legged inside her head. Kitten could hear her think. There was a trace of the stark-man, too. He was holding her so she wouldn't get stuck. Kitten suddenly chirped loudly, and started rattling of the details of what has been happening. Jhonus looked startled and stopped speaking for a moment.
Kit! Please! Don't make so much noise! No one's supposed to know we're here!
Kitten paused. Why though? Oh well, she was sort of right. The fat mortal was staring at her, eyes wide open. Kitten chirped and let out a long whistle. The mortal started chatting again, but Kitten was paying attention only to the little voice in her mind.
Listen, Kit. Here's what we want you to do.
She was just glad to hear the friendly, yet somewhat stern, voice. But she thought it would make sense to actually pay attention to the words. We need you to distract Jhonus. And make sure he's standing he's back to the wall, not like her is right now. Maybe start babbling like you did a couple a minuets ago. That was easy enough. And anyway, she was dying to tell Daine what happened."What is wrong with you today?!" Cried the mortal! He was scared, she knew it. Well, that was nice. She just pretended to ask the walls to close in on him, and he was already on the verge of a faint.
Suddenly, there was a loud crack behind the mortal. The wall blew off. He tried to turn, but she gave another LOUD whistle and he fell to his knees, hands over his ears. That's better, she thought. Bow down to the Great and Powerful Kitten! Suddenly she was swooped up in a cloud of black mist. Dratted stork-man! Just when she was starting to have fun! The black cloud lifted her up and carried her out, making itself and Kitten invisible. Wall, maybe the ride was a little bit fun. She flew out of that dratted room and into the hall, where a number of dogs, horses, and elephants had been keeping the guards busy, and then outside. Over a HUGE river and into another building. She remembered that one. The little skeleton had danced for her there! She flew right through a solid-looking wall (which wasn't solid at all), and into a small room, where she was snatched out of the air my Daine, who was hugging her tightly.
"Of Kit! I was so worried about you! I missed you so so so much!" Kitten chirped a reply. She missed her mortal friend, too. Quickly, she turned blue-green (excited), and started rattling of everything that happened. It was good to be back.
Authors Note: Well??? What did you think? I loved writing this, and I hope you loved reading this! Please review!
Disclaimer: Nobody but the Gendron, Jhonus and the really neat room in the university belong to me, sadly. I still think Kitten's the coolest. Maybe I should write to Tammy and ask for legal rights to own the dragon? I'll take good care of her! Promise!
