Chapter Nine
It couldn't be anymore beautiful

Orieus stood abruptly, causing the coat to fall to the floor. Alexandria had to admit he wasn't all that bad as a human. She smirked before realizing she was staring. Standing just as quick as he had she grabbed the coat and draped it around him. Orieus was walking around the room looking at everything and stopped to look out a window. Proving he was no longer in Narnia.

"Why!"

"Shh, I don't want Mrs. Macready up here." She said sternly.

"Why did you run!"

"We will speak of this later." She started to walk to the door, peeking out to make sure the coast was clear before shutting the door again. Closing the door silently, she turned to him only to be slammed against the door.

"We will speak of it now!" there it was it her eyes, the fear that she had for him, the fear that turned her.

"Everything alright up there Miss?" Ah she had to admit she missed that voice.

"Yes Mrs. Macready." She yelled back down to her. "Orieus, thats not important right now."

"I'll be the one deciding what is important, and this is important." Alexandria to the floor. "If you hadn't have run I wouldn't be here." She looked back up at him and glared.

"If you hadn't grabbed me I wouldn't have pulled you through!"

"That not the point, you were supposed to be the one to change things."

"Why do you rely on prophecies to do your bidding to change things, why don't you be the one to change things, wait I forgot your tired of being the one that leads your people." Orieus pushed away from the door and walked back over to the wardrobe, opening the door he found a solid back. He looked back to and she shrugged.

"Do look at me, I didn't know it was there in the first place, we probably cant got back."

"What?" Orieus walked back over to her. "Narnia is my home, not this."

"The same thing I told you when I didn't want to go to Cair Paravel but you weren't listening." Sighing he bowed his head and tried to calm himself.

"Look, Mrs. Macready will be angry if she found you, especially like this." Walking up to him and grabbing his hand. "Come, we need to find you some cloths and think of an excuse for you being here." Leading him to the door she looked out once again, seeing that Mrs. Macready was still downstairs now gave her the opportunity to get to the second floor. Leading him down the hall, down the stairs and too her room she quickly ushered him in and locked the door.

"I may have some cloths for you to wear."

"Miss, dinner will be ready in five minuets." She heard Mrs. Macready from the kitchen.

"Yes Mrs. Macready."

Looking through all of her cloths she found some of her oversize sweats and tee-shirt she used for sleeping garments. She handed them to Orieus before turning and find something for her to wear. Pulling out a gray Marine shirt and shorts she turned back to him, finding that he understood the cloths more that she understood hers in Narnia. He was dressed now and that was a good thing.

"Ill be back." Running to the bathroom she changed and pulled her hair down before returning to finding him examining her things. She stopped short when he held up one of her more expensive pair of underwear. Running up she grabbed the garment and shoved it back into the drawer before closing it.

"Please, umm, sit down and relax get to know your human self." She sat him down on the bed. "Try not to go through anything till I get back I shouldn't be long." Orieus sighed and sat where she had put him. Alexandria nodded before running to the door and down to the kitchen. Alexandria looked around and saw her glass of water and calmly picked it up and replace it with new water.

"Its good to see that your out of that uniform miss, I hope you don't mind soup and crackers for tonight."

"What kind of soup?"

"Tomato." She smiled.

"Don't mind at all." Sitting down at the table Mrs. Macready place a bowl in front of her with crackers and she began to eat. As she ate she thought about Orieus, she had to find away back to Narnia. "Mrs. Macready, do we have any fruit in the house?"

"If you mean apples and oranges there are some in the fridge, now if you will excuse me I will retire for the night."

Alexandria finished her soup and place the dish in the sink. Looking in the fridge she found the bowl of fruit. Hopping not to get caught of guard with the question of why she listened for any movements. She took her chance when she heard a door shut and walked up back up to her room. Orieus had moved to look out the window, she didn't mind as long as it was out the window and not at her underwear.

"I brought some food of you want something to eat." Orieus looked at the bowl as she set on the dresser. All the fruit he recognized and plucked a apple from the group. "I suppose you have questions." Orieus watched her from the corner of his eye and nodded.

"I will answer, but you may have to answer the same questions about your race." He turned to her.

"I thought I did."

"We never go to some subjects I wanted to press, I was going to ask them today but this happened." Orieus finished his apple and walked up to her.

"What more do you want to know?"

"Lets do this in a more simple way." Alexandria sat down on her bed and motioned for him to sit across from her. Sitting down on the soft mattress he waited for her to begin.

"Here's how my friends and I have done it in the past, you ask a question and I answer only to end with a question to you and you do the same. Understand?" Orieus nodded and Alexandria sighed.

"Okay what's your first question?" Orieus was about to begin when a knock came to the door. Alexandria jumped from the bed.

"Yes?"

"Miss, I forgot to tell you that Im going back into town tomorrow and if you want anything make me a list."

"O.K. Goodnight."

"Goodnight miss." Alexandria walked back over to the bed and sat down.

"O.K. First question from you. GO."
