Chapter 10

Before Kip even had time to get Liz out of the car a group of guards surrounded her. One of them stepped out of the group. Kip recognized him immediately.

"Sarab," she said bowing her head.

"Al Sahfer," he responded, also bowing his head. "You have returned. Ra's Al Ghul will be pleased." He looked at the car and saw Liz. "Who is that?" He said stepping closer to the car. Kip blocked his way.

"She is a friend. She is hurt and she needs my help. I need to speak with Ra's immediately."

"Ra's will not be happy that you have brought a stranger to our home. Even if she is dead." Sarab said angrily.

"Once Ra's hears what I have to say he will make an exception. Now let. Me. Pass." She said, not backing down. He nodded and stepped aside. "Thank you."

Kip went back to the car and got Liz out. She carried her lip body to the building. The doors opened and they walked into a large room. Sarab went to two large doors and opened them. He went inside for a moment and then came back out.

"You may enter." He told Kip. She nodded and walked in, still carrying Liz.

She walks through the doors and saw a man at the other side of the room. His back towards her. He was dressed in armor with a large, black, robe over it. He wore a sword on his belt and had a huge dragon ring on his right hand. She gently laid Liz down on the floor and then knelt before the man.

"Ra's, I kneel before you." She said. He turned around.

"Al Sahfer, you have returned." He said. "Please, rise and tell me why you have brought a stranger here."

"She is a friend and You are the only one who can save her. I need your help. Please." Kip said, standing up.

"Why would I help her? I owe you or her nothing."

"Because I have something you want."

"What could you have that I would want?"

"Me."

"What?"

"If you save her then I will return to the league, peacefully." Kip knew that she could not take back what she had just said. She would return, no matter what happened.

"I could get you to return here without saving this girl."

"But you know that I wouldn't come without a fight. You know how many of your assassins I could take before you finally got me. It's your choice, help her and I will come peacefully, or don't help her and I will kill as many of them as I can before I come back." They were both quiet ass Ra's contemplated his decision.

"Fine. I will help this girl, if you agree to come home."

"I agree. But I will need some time. To gather my things, please."

"You have 30 days. If you are not back by midnight on the 29th day then I will stop at nothing to find you. Do you understand?"

Kip nodded. "Thank you Ra's." She bowed her head. "I owe you a great debt."

"And that debt will repaid once you come home." He turned toward Liz. "Now I must take her and prepare her for the ceremony. What is her name?"

"Elizabeth. Elizabeth Ray Stark." She said. He motioned for one of the guards in the room to pick Liz up. The guard walked toward her and pick her up. "Please, be gentle with her." Kip said. The guard nodded and left the room with Liz.

"Now, while they are preparing her why don't we sit down and talk. I wish to know where you have been all this time. Come, sit." Ra's gestured for her to sit on a pillow at a small table.

"Ra's, I am honored, but if you don't mind I have had a long journey and I would like to rest before the ceremony." She told him. He nodded.

"Of course. We should be ready in twenty minutes. I will have one of the gourds come get you when we are ready. I assume you remember where your quarters are?"

"Yes. Thank you. If you excuse me." Kip bowed and walked out of the room. She made a right at the door and headed to her room. When she reached it she closed and locked the door behind her. The room was exactly as she had left it. She laid down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes

OOOOO

Sara was on the island. She was standing in front of a man, Ivo.

"You have what you wanted, you can let them go," she begged. "If you ever cared about me."

"But I do care about you Sara, which is why I won't choose to kill you." He pushed Sara on to her knees. Another girl was forced down next to her, Shado. She still remember her. How could she forget? Ivo pointed at Oliver. "But he might."

"What are you talking about?" Asked Oliver, who was standing in front of them.

"It's time to choose Oliver. Who lives and who dies. But pick quickly because in 30 seconds, I will shoot them both." Ivo pointed the gun back and forth between Sara and Shado. Oliver clearly didn't know what to do. He was confused and he didn't want to choose.

"You don't have to do this!" He shouted. "You got what you came for, just take it and go!"

"Ten seconds."

"You freaking psychopath!"

"History will make that judgement. Five seconds." I'vI pointed the gun at Sara. She knew what was coming. She closed her eyes. "Times up."

"Wait! No no!" Oliver ran in front of Sara, blocking her from Ivo. Sara was crying, bawling now.

"I guess you've made your choice." Ivo pointed the gun at Shado and pulled the trigger.

OOOOO

Kips eyes shot open and she sat up on the bed. For a moment she didn't know where she was. Her head was pounding, she could hear her heart beating. Wait. No that was the door. Someone was knocking at the door. She got our out of bed and went to the door. On the other side was a guard.

"The ceremony is ready to begin." He said. Kip nodded and stepped out of the room. She fallowed the guard to a room with a large pool of water in it. Next to the pool was Liz. She wore a beautiful white dress and her hair was shiny and smooth. She was laying on a plank of wood that was connected to four ropes. Ra's was on the other side of the room and when kip walked in he said,

"We are ready to begin. Al Sahfer, take one of the ropes." Kip was familiar with the ceremony, from both perspectives. She walked over and grabbed one of the ropes hanging from the roof. Three others grabbed the other ropes. A women entered the room. She wore a long black skirt and a short top with a black robe over it. The woman begin to speak in Arabic,

"In this day of resurrection, come forth and rise. Rise, and come to prayer." She begin to chant, the others in the room did too. Kip ignored it. She and the others holding the ropes started to pull, lifting the board that Liz was on up. They raised it above the pool of water then, they gently lowered it. They lowered the board into the water. It slowly submerged, along with Liz. Soon both the board and Liz were completely out of sight. The woman swipe red her hand on the air and everyone stopped chanting. Everything was quiet. Kip knew what would happen next. Just then the rope flew out of her hands and Liz came flying out of the pool. She s tarted attacking one of the guards. Other guards went to restrain her but she turned and punched them, sending them flying. Three more guards came rushing to restrain her but she kicked and punched them and sent them flying as well. Kip didn't see this ending well. She stepped forward.

"Liz!" She shouted. Liz turned and faced her. A confused look crossed over Liz's face when she saw her.

"Kip?" She said quietly. The woman who was chanting saw an opening and came up behind Liz. She pressed something against Liz's neck. Liz started to fall to the ground. The woman caught her and gently put her down.

"Well that's new." Kip said. She knew Liz had been training with Steve but she didn't know she was that good. She walked over the Liz and knelt down next to her. Ra's came up behind her.

"I have kept my end of the deal, I suggest you do not break yours." He said.

"I am a woman of my word. I will come back in one month, I promise."

"Good. I am sure everyone will be thrilled to hear of your return." He turned to walk away.

"Thank you Ra's." She told him before he left. He turned around.

"Anything for a member of the leagues family." He turned and left the room. Kip turned around and picked up Liz.

"I will show you to a room where you can put her until she wakes up." Said Sarab. Kip shook her head.

"Thank you but I must leave immediately."

"Very well, travel safely. I will inform Ra's that you have left."

"Thank you." She turned and headed to the door, Liz in hand. Kip stepped out into the cold, cloudy weather. It was dark. Kip had only ever really seen it when it was dark. Sometimes she wondered if the sun ever came up here. Of course she knew it did, she'd had seen it before. She walked to the yellow Lamborghini. It was still in the same place she left it. She noted the large scratch on the side, the big dent on the back, and various cracks on the window.

"I'm so dead for this." Kip said As she put Liz in. Liz was still unconscious, but alive. Kip buckled Liz in and then go in herself. She looked at the clock. Shit, she thought, if I don't get back soon everyone will know that Liz was dead. Steve can keep a secret, but not for that long. Kip slammed the car into first gear and sped off.

OOOOO

Ra's watched Al Sahfer speed off in the yellow car. He knew who the car belonged too. He knew who that girl, Elizabeth, was. But he didn't know what his assassin was doing with them. Sarab entered,

"Ra's, he is here." He said.

"Send him in." Ra's answer. Sarab nodded, turned around a gestured for someone to come in. A man walked through the door. He had short gray hair, dark blue eyes and wore an expensive looking suit and brown glasses.

"Ra's, how have you been."

"Cut the small talk. Let's get down to business."

"Ok ok. Do you have what you want yet?"

"I will soon. Once my assassin is out of harms way you can move in and get what you want."

"Good. And once I take what I need you are free to have what you need."

"Yes." Ra's turned to the man. "I think this is the beginning of a great alliance Mr. Pierce."

"Please, call me Alexander."
