                                                Chapter 2: The Awakening

            Isaac continued to look around while Cora had explained the events leading to his coma, and what had happened since then.  His gaze kept lingering to the girl beside Cora.  He had never seen the girl before, but soon learned that she was his caretaker.  He looked her over, and realized that she wasn't like any other girl he had ever seen.  She had full wavy hair about knee length, he estimated, because the girl kept it in a neat braid.  Her eyes were like none he had ever seen….gray-blue, and they would glimmer every now and then.  The strangest thing about her eyes was that the pupils would get smaller as she focused on something.  Her muscle tone was well defined, but not bulky.  The girl had an exotic beauty about her.  He couldn't help but wonder where she came from.

            Cora finished her updates to him and decided to let him rest and think everything over.  Besides plans had to be made, Isaac her Isaac was back.  She had to let him know that he had a son, but that would come later, when he was ready.  Kjerstie had stayed behind to see to Isaac's needs.  She knew that when he recovered her job would be done.  What would she do then?  What was going to happen now that she had awakened him?  Did he know that it was she? Nerekt dait! She cursed in her native language. How did she get herself into these situations?  People were going to die now, and it was all her fault for bringing that little fucker back to life. Isaac calling to her brought her out of her thoughts.  "What is your name my child? Cora has seemed to forgotten to introduce us properly." Bered na dulanet mek dait! My child? Who the hell did he think he was talking to?  She looked at him intensely.

            "My name is Kjerstie Xavria Coloxsixean.  Anything else you wish to know?"  He sat back up in his bed and returned her glare.

            "Yes, Kjerstie, there is something I want to know.  Why did you awaken me?"  She closed her eyes, sighed, and opened them again.

            "I felt sorry for you I suppose.  I hate to see anyone made weak, and without realizing, I used my magick to bring you back. I guess Cora didn't think you were ready to know that yet."

            "Cora knows nothing.  She seems to forget that I am the giver of his word.  I make the decisions, she follows them."

            "Really, kind of hard to give orders while in a coma by my thinking."  This girl was really agitating Isaac.  How dare she!

            "She made decisions while I was in the coma, but now I have returned.  If you want to continue to live here, or to live for that matter, you would be best to remember who I am."

            "I know who you are.  You are the person who I just gave a sponge bath to, and changed their diaper.  And just remember this 'mister I am the giver of his word' that you would not be awake had it not been for my power and my pity.  As for killing me, heh, you clearly do not know who you are dealing with!"   She then got up stormed out of the room screaming "Nable meh!" With those words said, the door slammed on its own.  Leaving him there dumbfounded.  He sighed and lay back in bed to rest.  Before sleep took him he thought, I will show that little bitch that I will not be defied!  I will have her on her knees begging for my forgiveness, but the price will be high.  Watch out little Kjerstie, you are about to be tamed.  She stood outside the door listening to his thoughts.  That's what you think.  Just wait and see the sparks fly!
