Just a word before the chapter.. I am sorry for any spelling and grammar
problems I am using the spell check and grammar check on my computer and if
it says it is ok then I leave it. so sorry but I am going to try better to
make sure my grammar is correct.. And now on with the story.
PS please read and review And please keep in mind this is only my second story so I am still a beginner at this but I am trying my best
"talk" `companion talking` `mind talk or talking back to companion` ---------------------------------------- ~~~~ Relke ~~~~~
Finally making he was out of the building. It wasn't easy staying in the shadows and avoiding people in this part of town, it sure was crowded.
~How long have I been out of it? ~ He though to himself as he slipped into another ally ~ It was the middle of autumn when I got here to complete my contract ~ Pulling the robe closer to him to try and fight off the sharp bit of winter cold that the air had about it ~ And now it looks its ready to snow any day now.~
~ That doesn't matter right now, I have to get to my extra set of equipment that I stashed down the river, with the stone on top of the package to hold it down in the river. ~ He just wasn't looking forward to the swim in the cold water to fetch them but then again he didn't think it would be close to winter before he came to get them. ~Good thing I wrapped them in the waterproof deerskin lined with sheep wool to keep them dry and warm.. But first I have to get there.

~~~~~ Relke ~~~~~~
~ Dam it that is the fifth person, I wasn't so lucky this time, he got me~
Slumping to the ground, sitting propped up against a building, ~ My chest feels like it is about to burst and.~ putting his hand to his side and pulling it back covered in blood. ~ I got to keep moving.. I wonder if they some how found out my secret and about my other contracts.~
Searching the fallen body of the lady he had just defeated, ~ Yes another belt pouch, with this I should be able to buy some cloths at the next merchant shop I come to ~
Trying to ignore the pain in his side and chest, he grabs the feet of the unconscious lady and drags the body a little bit more down the alley. ~ There behind those crates, it will be well hidden but not to long before some one finds it but at least long enough for me to be gone~
Now for those cloths.

"We have another body" Marie yelled running up the street "She is uninjured but our *hero* seems to be injured" She stopped a few steps from the companions and sat down to catch her breath
"What do you mean?" Samantha all but yelled as she jumped off her companion and almost dragging Marie to her feet "How do you know? Where is he then? Did any one see him? And why aren't you taking care of the guards?!?!"
`Stop shaking her so she can answer` came Keelyk's mind voice clear and calm and cutting off any more questions
Dropping Marie and slowly walking back to her companion slowly breathing in and out to calm herself, "Well, Marie" was all she said in reply to letting her go, but they could hear the concern in her voice for the guard and *Hero*
"Well you see Nalav is taking care of the guard as we speak" Marie started off nervously "The guard is uninjured but there is some fresh blood on the ground in the ally, not much but still enough. So we have to assume it is his blood." Stopping to take a huge breath of air, Marie wrapped her cloak tighter around her in hope to fight off the cold breeze. "And like the last body we found her belt pouch is gone if she had one, she might just not had one on her while on duty. So we know he has some money to rent a room at a inn, buy food, higher a herbalist or one of many things." She finished with a humph as she sat back down.
"I want to point out" came Nalav's voice from behind them surprising them all to quickly turn around to look at him "He has not killed any one and all the injuries that have occurred will all heal with side effect like lost of the use of a limb"
"Meaning what?!" Snapped Samantha "He's confused, not fully recovered from his injuries, he has people hunting him and attacking him, and he is trying from the looks of it not to kill or permanently hurt them" she tried to defend *him* from the top of her companion "And I would like to know he got out of the healing trance without a healer taking it off of him"
"I know, I know" came his reply "I would like to know how he did, it would take a strong bond to help him get out of it. I am also saying that either all five of the guards have been really lucky or he is really skilled and knows what he is doing."
"So." she replied anxiously
"So we get Keelyk there to mind speak the other heralds and make sure it is clear that is to be brought in as safely as possible and with as little injuries if none" he replied coolly
"Already ahead of you there, Nav" came Keelyk's voice from beside her just in her line of vision she could see him go into a half trance that meant he was talking to someone.
"Well let's get going" She offered her hand to Marie "Sorry. You can ride behind me"
"It's ok and I thank you for your offer" came Marie's reply as she settled in behind her and wrapping her arms around Samantha's waist.
"Let's go" was all Samantha said
All of a sudden Lavyes spoke up from being so silent `my we are in a hurry`
`I never asked you four to join me` she sarcastically replied `I was happy enough looking for him myself and it might have been faster` `My.My we are touchy today.is it your moon days already?`
Biting back her reply she started to think, because Lavyes only mentioned her moon days when she did something wrong or when she was mad and being rude. ~ I have been a little bitch all afternoon. haven't I. Why?. Why?! Because the guard are out for blood, Yudr is ready to imprison him and no body seems to remember he saved my life . (but with a heavy heart full of regret she continued on in thought) but still that is no reason to be mean to every one in the party.. They might be mad at me and I shouldn't be like this, no matter what the reason is, man I have a lot to learn in the next five years of training..~ `now or never`
Slowly she got up the courage and when it seemed that her companion would not take another step until she said her peace to every one. "H.H.Hey everyone I'm." blushing she looked down at a spot in between Lavyes' ears "I'm sorry for being so mean and such a bitch this afternoon. I'm really really sorry"
"We under stand" came Keelyk's reply as she looked over to her "We haven't forgotten he saved your life" she said with a grin on her face and gave Samantha a wink "Now lets go find *Hero*" (Hero being the name the others had given him for lack of a name or anything better)
"Yea she's right" came Marie's cheerful reply from behind her "Now lets go find Hero so you can give him a hero's kiss" she teased her "I bet we find him before those two do" she said as she looked over to Nalav riding behind Keelyk and stuck out her tongue at him.
And with that challenge in the air both Lavyes and Aital picked up their pace and started heading down the road towards the river.
None aware of what was to become and happen.
