Skye didn't waste time blanching; she turned red with fury.  "How?" she hissed.  Kat smiled, and walked down the wall, her gun never leaving Trystan's head.  "Oh, you know that I have special talents, I don't need to explain them to you.  You'd just try to steal them, Skye." 

Skye pulled Paris tighter against her, and a second click was heard.  "I'll shoot her, Stace."  Kat shrugged, "What does a spoiled brat matter?  We both know the only one we care about is Trystan.  However, you'd be far worse off if he died than me."  Trystan looked quizzically between the two teens.  What in the world made him so valuable? 

Kat smiled at him.  "I'm sorry, Trystan.  But being one of two Nies makes you incredibly valuable.  Skye here doesn't know that she sent me to the second one.  Not to mention his strength outmatches yours." 

Skye dropped her gun.  It discharged, making the nervous teens jump, but merely became a mar in the wall.  "We're done here." 

Kat restrained Trystan with a hard glare, and the gun still pointed at his forehead.  "Now, Trystan, you shouldn't go chasing them when you have no idea what they want."  Trystan muttered, but stayed in one spot. 

"Kat?"  Rory approached.  Kat smiled and let Rory ask the obvious question.  "Why is the gun pointed at Trystan?"  Kat's gaze shifted back to Trystan.  "A little warning.  He needs a little lesson that even allies might kill him."  She pocketed the gun.  Immediately, school authorities came.  She smiled as Lorelai Gilmore appeared, screaming at the principle.  Kat waved farewell to the student body, and disappeared in the mass of frantic parents. 

When Rory got home that night, with her mother swearing she would be going to public school in stars hollow, and Chilton taking a week break to see what had happened, Rory saw something that shouldn't have surprised her.  "Kat."

The girl smiled.  "Sorry to scare you today, but bluffing works wonders when dealing with them."  Rory held up her hand.  "Now you explain who 'they' are, and I'm given a little credit to take care of myself."  Both remembered Rory being limp in her chair while everything happened, but chose not to speak of it.

"Fine.  Though when you are found, the info will be pried from you."  Rory shivered, but listened intently as she was informed of the special talent that she and Trystan shared..

When Trystan went home, he was alone in the house, which was nothing new.  He looked up, and stifled a scream.  "Cameron."  Somehow, Trystan's voice was twice as steady as he felt.  The man smiled, holding the mask of Dean's face in his hands.  "Well, old friend.  Kat for some reason is sparing you our testing.  So she's sending us off to Iraq to fight a trained Nie.  But don't think we'll forget about you.  No, but we'll let you enjoy the next few months of high school.  So, enjoy, and watch your back.  Stace—Kat is not what she seems."  Trystan shivered, and muttered, "You don't have to tell me twice."  But Cameron was gone.  Trystan stopped himself.  He had to get out of here.  Now.  What was it Paris had said?  Trystan thought hard for a few minutes before it came back to him.

"Sure.  Threatening everyone she loves is how to win her heart.  She's the perfect image of innocence.  Be ready for me to come and pick up the shards of your life after you've blown it apart." 

Trystan knew he had to go find her.  And he had a suspicion that when he found Rory, he'd find Kat.

A/N: I'm sorry about my addiction to cliffhangers, but you wouldn't come back without them.  I love all my wonderful reviewers, and yes, this is a fic I'm continuing.  So what do you think?  The little button below this note lets you review.  Sorry I'm not updating as much as I can, but I'm two weeks behind in school X_x so that takes first place.  Because if mother teacher isn't satisfied, I can't update.  Homeschool isn't all it's cracked up to be.  TRORY fans, this is my fic for you.  I have two other T/R fics, so review them if you want!  My grammar isn't the best.  Ok, I'm rambling and ruining my cliffie.
