Chapter 5:
Another slow week went by for the Blitz team and Krys. Jamie returned from the trip he had been on. Krys had been intreged by the boy and kept getting the feeling like they had met somewhere before. She kept avoiding Brad whether and accident or on purpose. She watched as the Blitz team battled against another team, wishing she could be out there again.
"I miss the battles most of all, Dague. I miss the rush I would get when fighting, I miss fighting side by side with amatur." She told the magnificient beast.
One day, you'll fight again. You're the only hope this world has. Dague replied.
"What does 'amatur' mean?" Jamie asked, startling Krys back into the real world.
"It is a nick name, for the man I once loved." She replied.
"What happened to him?" he questioned.
"He died, a long time ago. And now I have to find the man who had become him." She replied with a sad note in her voice.
"Why are you so sad if he is alive again?" he asked catching the sadness.
"I'm afraid…" she answered.
"Of what?" he proded.
"Of falling in love with the wrong man, of falling in love and becoming weak, of him not being the man I remember." She answered.
"This might sound a little quorky coming from me, but follow your heart, it won't lead you astray." He got up and left her to her thoughts.
"Follow my heart? If it wasn't for amatur, I wouldn't have a heart." She whispered.

Brad sat alone on the couch reading a book, his arm proping up his head, when Leena walked into the room.
"What's going on with you? The last time I saw you reading was when something was bothering you." She sat down across from him.
"Nothings wrong." He replied, not looking up from his book.
"I didn't ask that, I asked what was going on, now spill." She commanded.
"There's nothing happening, that's all." He replied, still staring at the same page.
"You've been reading that same page since I walked in here, now tell me what's going on with you. Or do I need to go ask Krys?" she guessed right, because Brad put his book down and looked at her.
"I'm just confused." He answered bluntly.
"About…?" she probed.
"About Krys, I keep getting this feeling like we should be close, like two siblings, but every time she mentions her 'prince' I feel this stab of pain. I can barely stand to look at her now. Now I'm having these dreams about Dague standing next to the Shadowfox. It's nothing out of the ordinary except it happens every night just before midnight. What's going on with me?" he was searching for answers in his friend's eyes.
"Sounds like you've got a crush on Krys." Leena laughed.
"No I don't!" he yelled.
"Yes you do. You're in love with her." She teased.
It was at that moment that Krys decided to walk into the room. "He's in love with who?"
Leena could see that Krys had been crying earlier, "Nobody," she squeeked.
"Well I just came to tell you guys that I'm leaving for a little while. I've got to clear my head and meet with a couple of people." She told them and left the room.
"Krys…" Brad's plea was only heard by Leena.
So how was it? I know it's a bit short but I'll make up for it next time….hopefully. I don't own anything but Krys and Dague. I need some ideas I'm in sort supply of them. I need lots of reviews so I don't feel so alone ):
