It was dusk. All of the others were sleeping, because in prison, there wasn't much else to do. Kel sighed. If only I weren't so foolish in believing Deylnar. It's all my fault. She looked out the window, and saw something that horrified her. There was a large black bird slicing through the sky! It was chasing two birds, Sparrows. Kel recognized Nari as they came closer. Noooo!! Kel wanted to shout, but for some reason, beyond her knowledge, she kept quiet. Moments later, the two sparrows zipped in between the bars, into a haven, leaving their enemy outside. Kel heard a soft jingle and looked frantically around. Finally she saw the keys, in Nari's talons. "If only someone could undo them." Kel murmured to herself.
"I can do that for you." Remarked a voice in front of her. Kel looked up slowly and saw…Daine (A/N: can't Daine transform with her clothes on? If she can't I give her the powers to do so.)
"Daine." Kel said, almost a little too loud and realized her mistake because all the others started to stir. After a few minutes of prolonged silence, they settled back into a deep sleep. Daine then took the keys from Nari and unlocked Kel, Alanna, Dom, Raoul, Quasim, and Dirpan. As Kel stood up and stretched, a familiar gray figure ran up to the window enthusiastically, but silently. Daine must have warned him of the danger. Jump stood there holding Griffin, Kel's sword, in the scabbard in his mouth. Kel walked over to hug him as Jump crazily licked her arm. Kel grabbed Griffin and walked back to where she had been sitting. Daine turned into a bird again, grabbed the keys she had gently laid on the floor and went outside the door. There, she changed into a human again and unlocked the door so that Kel could escape. Kel ran to the door.
A few minutes later, a hand grabbed Kel's arm roughly, covered her mouth, and dragged her backwards. "You think it's going to be that easy?" a voice said behind her, obviously tired and disused. Kel turned around and almost screamed.
In front of her was Dom. But he was sleeping. He must have waken up, saw me gone, moved, noticed the unlocked chains, walked out the door and followed me. He covered her mouth with his lips instead of his hands this time, then kissed her gently pressing his lips against hers. Kel pulled back, remembering what had gotten them here and where they were. She looked down and noticed Dom's sword. "How…?" Kel started to ask.
"It seems that your dog is smarter than he looks, My Lady Knight." Dom replied in the middle of her sentence, and then he smiled brilliantly. They both walked forward to defeat their foe.
Sorry this is a really short chapter. I recently got over a writer's block, (a not so major one though) and all I can think of is how to end this story, so I might be able to do two or three more chapters, but then I will have to stop. I am starting to write a sequel though, because I know where my ideas are headed. Please review so this story can end happily!!
