Distant Land

Chapter 10

Blood

Nya looked down at her brother whose face was swollen on one side do to the abuse he received from all the questions, then the betting he got afterwards for his friend beating up Mix. She wasn't to sure the extent of his injuries, but she was pretty sure his nose was broken. She ran her fingers over his hair which was wet from perspiration. She wished she had some ice for his wounds.

"Now its your turn girl." Nya let out a short scream. She wasn't to sure what to do now. She was being picked up by her hair and held in front of Nari. She felt like her whole scalp would tear from her skull if she gets held up for to long.

"Do you know anything about this installation?"

"Just the basic hallway works. I didn't work here so I didn't know anything that was supposed to go on under the hood." She grabbed the hand that was holding her. It was Dez who just smiled at her.

"I think she's telling the truth father. However...she might know some of this...technology since Mix is only running on half since her hand is gone." Nox said from his perch on the side of the desk. He liked to look down at people.

"She can help." Jay said from his corner. He had been ordered to stand there until he was useful. Nya glared at Jay.

"You...you." Her bottom lip quivered and she threw her leg up kicking Dez in the chin. He dropped her, she landed on her feet and ran forward getting in Jays face. "You heart breaker!" She screamed. She barked a few other choice things into Jays face. To Nari this was quite entertaining until Nyas voice became low and the stop. What she saw was what she honestly didn't expect. It was a lone tear rolling down Jays face. Jay wasn't one to cry at all. She backed away from Jay apologizing to him.

"Oh dear child, its just the stress of the day to be honest. All you need right now is...sleep." As if on command Nyas eyes rolled and she fell into Jays arms. He picked her up and carried her to the corner he was assigned to and let her lay against him. Nari watched such an interaction. He narrowed his eyes walking toward them. Every intention of grabbing the girl from his slave. But then...the lights came on. Nari cringed and shielded his eyes.

"I thought you took care of the electricity Nox!" He barked glaring at his son shrinking back into the shadows.

"I did father I promise!" Nox now walking toward the door.

"These back up generators won't last forever but it'll keep those shadows at bay." Pixal said looking down at the security feed. She was right Nari was backing away from the lighting as if it were hurting him.

"I see so Nari is a creature of the night as Ty is a creature of the day. They are complete oppisites of one another."

"The universe must hold a balance or its thrown into chaos. Nari would feed of such a chaos...along with his insane children." Pixal said looking back down at the panels.

"This should slow his children down." Zane pushed a button activating the sentinel units and Nindroids.

"He can't stop all of us." Zane said smiling at Pixal who let out a little giggle. Oh his heart fluttered. How he missed hearing her voice. He was so glad she was back. However he wasn't sure how he was going to keep her secret now that he knew who it was. He just couldn't help looking at her this way.

Lloyd looked up at the ceiling. His heart skipped a beat.

"Well thats odd." Ty said looking around at everything cast in a light blue color from the emergancy lighting.

"Whats odd?" Cole asked trying to get her to continue with her curiosity.

"Well whoever turned on the lights it wasn't Nari...it had to be an inside job. Nari is kind of like the boogy man...he hates the light." Ty said pulling Cole into a room just as Nox ran by. He was worried about something.

"Daddy must not be happy then if he's running around worried like that." Lloyd said following him with his eyes.

"This is going to make keeping to the shadows a little harder." Cole announced walking by the cafeteria. He sniffed the air and sighed. "Oh man...that smells great."

"Not now Cole." Lloyd grabbed Cole by the shirt and ran toward the elevator. "We'll stop on the 95th floor."

When the door opened they came face to face with Zane and the Samurai. Lloyds face turned from worried to extatic.

"It was you then!" Lloyd pointed at the Samurai. "You had to have turned on the lights somehow. Once again masking her voice as someone else.

"Generators yes. Zane and I have been busy."

"Hey new leg." Cole said seeing Zanes leg perfectly through the half pant leg.

"What now?!" the elevator stopped two floors short of 95th.

"This is our exit." The Samurai said motioning to Zane. "We have to complete our plan or all is lost. You three can distract him."

"Is she always this bossy?" Ty asked.

"She?" Lloyd and Cole said at the same time.

"well yeah she holds herself like a female, or a gay guy." Ty said and closed the door again.

Nya slowly opened her eyes Nari's power slowly loosing effect on her. A sleep spell wouldn't last that long on her anyways. She slowly looked up at Jay. Fresh tear lines were on his cheeks. She couldn't have been asleep that long.

"Jay?" She whispered. His face didn't move but his eyes looked down. He was still under the spell, but why was he holding her like this? Why was he crying like this? She sighed and half smiled at him.

"It would seem love transcends hatred." Borg said looking around from his work. Nya smiled and leaned up quietly pecking Jay on the cheek. His shoulders sagged and he almost fell over holding her.

"What...where am I?" Jay looked down at Nya who was blushing. "Hi..." He blushed noticing she was in his arms.

"Hi..."

"Why am I crying?" He whispered

"I yelled at you."

"Oh so the usual then hum?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah..." She smiled and kissed him again.

"I should get yelled at more often..." Jay smiled.
