The next thing clear in Krys' mind was the semi-softness of the bed. Her eyes fighting to open. Once they did the first sight she saw was a pair of cool green eyes looking down at her as he was removing a wash cloth from her head. That unexpected sight cause even her to jump some. He offered what some would guess would of been a warm smile.

"You ok?"
"Yeah."
"Good, had me worried bit. Almost was debating taking you to a hospital." Krys slowly sat up looking at him.
"Why didn't you?"
"What you want me to tell them? That you passed out in a grave yard while looking for a friend that may be possessed by demons?"
Krys faintly chuckled "Does sound loony to most I guess."
"Yeah just a bit."
"So how long was I out?"
"A few hours…it's already night."
"It could have been worse."
"Yeah?"
"Did you feel anything when you came in after me?"
"Not really why?"
"She was there, but in bad shape. Passed out…but that is kinda expected for her."
"How?"
"Well she sort of have this…habit when she gets hurt. She goes into almost a light coma like state for about 3 days then she is fine."
"Well she picked a funny place to do it."
"I know, but I think there may be a reason behind it."

Standing up she moved toward the mirror looking herself over. Her normally rich skin held a faint ashy tone. She gave a faint sigh as she turned moving to one of the chairs. "It seems something is draining the energy around where she is. If she had a feeling that was gonna happen…she may of picked a place like that. A place where there would have been no one to get harmed."
"Don't exactly sound like someone possessed, they live for trouble & mayhem."
"At the time she did it, maybe it hadn't gotten a hold yet."
"And what you think now?"
"Sadly a good possibility."
"Why what did you see there?"
"Her badly beat up…more so then she would normally look after being injured for two days…she heals fast. What caught my eye most was five circular marks on her chest & a burn to her left hand."
"Any clue the cause of either?"
Krys lowered her head with a faint nod. "The burn to the hand…it matched the handle of a dagger she had…one she gave me a copy of."
"Do you still have it?"
"Yeah I think in the car."
"Good we may need it."
Krys' head shot up looking at him a hint of gold to her eyes shining through. "Don't you dare think of using it on her." Her voice held a faint growl. Mark offered a faint chilling smile, at this point not much shocked him.
"I wasn't planning on it…only if we had to. Sadly sacrifices sometimes need to be done for the greater good."
"What you know of sacrifices…besides those you claimed to of done on TV?" Her temper was getting more out of control. Mark tried to grasp what he was seeing as he watched Krys' eyes turn even more golden & turn faintly almond shaped of the cat.
His tone softened faintly but tried to fight the instinct to back up. "More then even I care to admit. Now Calm down, hopefully it won't come to that. What are you some kinda familiar?"
"What?"
"I suggest you look in the mirror Hun."

Krys stood again walking over to the mirror she looked & faintly cursed under her breath. She so needed to work on her temper…or the shift…or both. Closing her eyes she took a few deep breaths calming herself back down. Rarely is she that…careless, then again she is protective of Jade…the though of using that blade on her of all people. Then again…that knife shouldn't have much effect on her…at least not long term. If it does what she claimed it did….it should only harm or kill the demon part…WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING? She shakes her head before turning to sit back down. "What you mean by familiar?"

Mark tried not to chuckle faintly. "You never heard of a Familiar before?"
"I heard of them…but I am not some pet."
"They are not exactly…depends which story you want."
"How about the one that makes you think I am one."
"Ok…Not all familiars as cats…but that is a common form. Also just that a form, some feel familiars can change their form or appearance. They are assistance or guides to a witch. What little you told me or I figured out about Jade I figured she might fall under the category of a witch. With how protective of her you are, the fact you did help with the protection circles…and you recent…change when I hardly mentioned harming her in anyway."

"Unless a human can be one…no I'm not. It is just sort of a role I have taken over the years with her. We are like sisters & I know she would behave the same with me. As for my…change it was a gift I found out runs in the females of my family…a gift Jade has been helping me understand. Helping me understand it, embrace it, use it right."
"Ok fine…back to the task at hand. You said she is normally out for three nights?"
"Yeah"
"So you want to wait till she should be awake then see what damage is done OR see what we can do now before she comes to…incase she is also changed…before she can do anything to us?"
"Wait…if the energy drain around her is somehow connected to her…hopefully that will stop once she wakes up."
"I hope you are right…in that case we have one more night after this one."
"Damn & I am set to return on the road with John."
"Fake an illness."
"I can't…"
"Yeah same here…I am expected back tomorrow. Well then Jade may need to be dealt with if or when you hear anything from her."
"Yeah I guess." Krys hated the though of leaving Jade there for who knows how long.
"Well then get some more rest if we both leaving tomorrow." Mark begins heading for the chair.
"Na uh mister" Mark turned his head raising an eye brow. "You take the bed…I slept in it enough today it seem…plus I can sleep just fine in the chair."
"I won't hear of it."
"I mean it…move away from the chair…I'm not gonna argue."
Mark tried not to yawn, he wasn't about to fight. So he walked over to the bed, Removing his boots & Shirt before moving into the bed. Krys smirked moving to the chair sitting sort of side ways in it she liked getting her way even if it was going to be a little uncomfortable.
