"NO NO….Taker…Amber please…" Kay plead moving from John's grasp to move in front of him.
"Kay what you doing?" Yelled John.
"Dear give her a chance to plea her case for him." Spoke Amber
Taker stopped a slow exhale of breath curling his lip. "You know the longer we wait."
"I know…I just wish to know if there is hope."
"Very well. That is the least I owe you."
"Thank you" spoke Kay before turning to John. "Ok you don't want to believe it…but was someone of your family called what they claim?"
John lowered his head before nodding.
"Who?"
"A great great aunt. She was not though."
"She was a my…mystic & nat…natural healer." Spoke Amber, Taker turned his head looking back at her. Conserve yourself love.
"That is what some of the family records spoke of." He lifted his head back up his voice a questioning tone. "Why?"
Kay looked towards Taker. "Strega is witch?" He slowly nodded. She then looked back at John. "The term witch is not always evil, society made it such over time."
"How you know? You believe witches real?"
"Yes & if you did not as well you would not have gotten so defensive."
"I am…one John. What is going to be said must stay be…between us." Spoke Amber
"OK, I promise."
"If you don't John, there will be repercussions." Spoke Taker with his icy gaze towards John.
"OK Fine & what you some sort of warlock?"
"Some may say that." Taker saw John's eyes get bigger at the thought. He couldn't help but give a chilling laugh.
"Stop scaring the boy." Faintly scolded Amber.
"Sorry love I loose track of myself at times."
"Trust me…I know." Taker's head fell looking back towards her.
Sorry.
"Help me sit up dear." Taker moved back to the bed he took her right arm & one hand behind her back helping her to sit up. Her eyes had remained close this whole time.
Since you want to do the talking to him use some of my strength for you to focus.
Amber just faintly nodded feeling Taker sitting next to her. She tried not to wince as he put an arm over her shoulder lightly resting his hand over her bruised shoulder.

"As I was saying John…I am a witch, one of natural blood. It ran on both sides of my family. Well one of my talents is dreams, either as visions or dealing with problems within them. The down side of dealing with…problems is I sometimes gain physical sighs of the problem I was dealing with. A dark force was troubling another friend of mine. In fighting it I was injured…that is why the bruise & my weakened condition."
"How do I not know you are just covering for him still." Taker wanted to give a glare towards John again.
Dear calm…sadly he is being honest I am covering for you, just not the way he thinks. Taker just nodded lightly working his fingers over her shoulder while she talked.
"Ok…here is another…It was not pure chance that Taker & I were on the road where the crash happened. I was already in his hotel room for the night when I had a dream about it. When I could not reach Kay on her phone we got up & went to track down where I saw it."
"No…impossible." John looked with almost disbelief speaking faintly to himself

"No it isn't John." Commented Kay. "Amber may I?" Amber nodded. "A few weeks ago…maybe a month I was at Amber's house in the process of moving in. I only had a few more boxes to move. I was going to get them that night & for some reason she almost freaked out. She couldn't explain why. The only thing she could do was beg me not to go back that night for them. I didn't know what the big deal was so just to make her feel better I told her ok." Kay closed her eyes almost a shiver before she continued. "The next day in the news there was a report of a fire that broke out in my apartment building. She took me over to find out how bad. The landlord had just installed a new entry system that failed locking the doors. My whole floor was gutted. If I had gone back like I planned I would have been trapped in my apartment. I…I wo..would have died. She may not of been able to see exactly what I was in danger from that time, but she knew I was in danger if I had gone back." John walked over placing a hand on each side of her to steady her. He looked at her face then towards the bed at Taker & Amber.

"OK let's say I am actually buying this…now what?"
"For now…not much, Just know you may see things at times that can't easily be explained. Also be there is Kay feels she needs someone to talk to about some stuff she might see herself." Amber slowly opened her yes finally looking at Taker first who just gave her a nod. "Thanks Love." She stretched her neck & then her shoulder out & John just looked seeing most of not all of the bruising was gone. So what about dear Paul?
I wanted you at the arena but that may not be wise after all. I did book you a different room near these two guys. I'll bring your bag to it later & try to get away from Paul at least for a while.
Taker slowly stood up taking Ambers hand in his kissing it. "Well that is now settled I need to get back to some work." He headed for the door opening it.
"You know you could have brought a pair of my shoes down." Quipped Amber.
"I'll see what I can do." With that he left & Amber flopped back on the bed in frustration.
"I guess we are still ordering in John?"
"Yes what you want?"
"Pizza…pepperoni & mushroom."
"Yeah that sounds good." commented Kay kicking her shoes off before hopping on to Ambers bed with her.
