I Know Who You Are

A/N: ::sigh:: I'm depressed…my newest chapter of Together Again is done but it's not on this computer and my dad won't let me on the one upstairs! It really s*cks! Isn't life cruel?

~*~
Summary:

Will the man be able to cure Zatera in time? What will the people still at the table think? Slowly, time collides with torture. Only one last thing to do with it though…Only two choices, to live, or to die.

Merle was breathing heavily. She was scared now more in her life than ever before she thought. The man took them into a room and put Zatera down on the bed. Zatera clutched his stomach, groaning all the time.

"Ugh!" He said loudly. The man took off his hood to his long hair that went to the middle of his back. He had it lying down his back in a ponytail. Tyler's eyes widened but closed quickly. Thinking that nobody saw him do it, he tried to act normal. Jin however saw him do it and was now very confused. 'Why would Tyler do that?' She thought. Tyler was lost in his thoughts. Jin went over to him and put a hand on his arm, he looked at her quickly.

"What's wrong?" She whispered to him. Tyler looked at her, worries were written all over his face. He took in some breath.

"I'll tell you that when I know who you are." Tyler whispered back to her quickly and then looked away. 'What's wrong with him?' Jin thought. She put her worries back to Zatera, for the moment.

Wanda had her mouth open, like she was just slapped and her eyes were wide. She slammed her hands onto the table causing Hitomi to jump a little in her chair. Van looked over to her quickly. All this time Hitomi and Van were wondering what was wrong but decided to stay behind. Wanda would probably follow if they didn't.

"Now isn't that rude?" Wanda said aloud. Her eyes were blazing. "First the girl and cat boy leave, than the blond boy, than the cat girl!" She mumbled under her breath, thinking that neither heard. Hitomi however did. Wanda turned to Hitomi.

"Iris, how long have you known them?" She asked. Hitomi looked at her for a while wondering what Wanda was getting at by calling her 'Iris'. She than remembered what Jin 'named' her.

"For quite a while now, a week maybe. We've become friends quickly." Hitomi said rushed.

The man left the room while Zatera started to heal. He put his hood back on and started to walk around the castle to get his legs un-stiffened from that room. He started to go down the darker halls seeing that there was nobody there to stop him from looking around went in. That was when everything went black.

~*~

The potion master picked up the body of the man in front of him and dragged him into his room. He grabbed a bottle of clear liquid. It looked like water except for the little bit of smoke trails at the top. He poured it down the other man's throat. The blond haired man's eyes opened immidiately.

"What am I doing here?!" He demanded. The potion master just looked at him.

"Who are you?" He asked. Before the other man could say 'Shouldn't I be asking you?!' He felt himself talking…

"Tarpe La Sooth."

"Is La, your middle name?"

"Aye."

"Sooth…why does that sound famailiar?" Tarpe didn't understand what was driving him to answer the questions.

"It is the surname for the royal family of Soothe."

"Ah…so you are king?"

"Prince."

"Why are you here?"

"To search out for my younger lost brother."

"Who is that?"

"Prince Tyler Fase Sooth."

Everybody started to walk back into the hall. Jin said that Zatera was a little sick and found a messenger to take the herbs for them. She also said that Merle staying with Zatera, watching him get better, which was true. Wanda's chest was heaving with anger. Hitomi was now afraid to even talk to her. She didn't want to before but did it anyway. All the candles that was keeping the dinner lit went out. Jin was immidiately alert along with Tyler. One candle was still lit. It was right in the middle of the table. Its flame, dancing on the walls. Making everybody's face look different. Jin took in a breath. She didn't know why but she felt as though, in the back of her head was a little voice that she forgotten was coming out as the flame moved in front of her eyes.

"Mommy!" A little girl said. "I want you guys to be safe but I want to be with you! Why won't my magic let me do it?!" She screamed at the woman. Tears were in both of their eyes, coming down like rivers.

'Stop it!' Jin scolded her mind, 'Stop it now!'

"Oh Honey!" The woman sobbed. She went down to the floor on her knees and pulled the little girl over to her. "Oh honey!" She sobbed again but louder this time. The girl clung onto her mother as if for dear life.

Jin felt as if she was on the verge of tears. Everybody turned to Wanda when a man in a cloak appeared beside her. Wanda looked directly at Jin, her eyes wide. Jin felt herself backing up as far as she could to get away from them.

"YOU!" Wanda screamed. Her voice cutting through the atmosphere like a knife. All of them cringed. Jin was just to shocked now. She stayed still. Wanda walked over to her until she was barely a foot away from Jin's face. She brought her hand up and slapped Jin with all the force she could muster. "GUARDS!" Wanda screamed again. Hitomi looked at everyone she looked to her left to see Allen.

"What's going on?" She whispered to him, worried. Allen shook his head sadly, showing her that he didn't even know. Hitomi swallowed as the guards came in. They bowed in front of Wanda.

"What would you like to do with them your highness?" They asked her, still bowing.

"I would like you to grab her and throw her into the dungeons dammit! How hard is it to see that?!" As the two men started to pick Jin up, Wanda screeched again.

"MORE GUARDS NOW!" She screamed. A group of eight guards came in. "You two!" She said to the ones in front, "Go and put him into the dungeons! Make sure that their separate cells! You two! Grab the girl! Iris or whatever her name is! You four go look for the last one! The cat boy!" She screamed. All of the guards left to their targets. Jin now knew what was going on but she didn't know what to do. If she or Tyler showed a good force of resistance, they would know who she was for sure! But if they didn't…Hitomi could be killed… Jin looked at her chances. Remembering that her dress she did the only thing she could do that could go for both sides. Run. Tyler in following suit once he grabbed Hitomi's wrist to bring her along with them. Wanda crossed her chest with her arms. She brought her head a little low.

"Oh, oh…I know who you are Jin, Juearo Hateto though, seems more appropriate for the moment though…" It was then the first bolt of lightning came from the sky as the rain pelted down, enough to drown a normal cat in seconds.

~*~

A/N: Dun, dun, dun…Wanda know Jin is Juearo Hateto or Woman Bird…what is going to happen to Hitomi Tyler and Zatera now?!

(I would like to thank ~*:o:Angel:o:Hitomi:o:*~ for the pictures that she sent me! Thank you! I'll get them onto Merle's Room as soon as possible!!)
