Chapter 4
*Knock Knock*
Shalimar entered Brennan's room to find him just sitting on his bed looking upset. She walked over to him and put a comforting arm around him. He sighed.
"I'm guessing by her leap of faith off the ledge things didn't go so well."
"I can't stand to see her eyes when she looks at me. They are like ice. Beneath that layer of ice there is a hurt body there."
"Are you sure you're not a telepath as well?" she teased. But by the look on his face he wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"Brennan. Look she will forgive you in time. She had a hard life and you no offense betrayed her. Just let Mike help her begin to trust you."
Brennan looked into her eyes and Shalimar saw a dead man hurting inside those beautiful eyes. She moved closer and closer and their lips connected. For a while there it seemed like no one else in the world existed like time was frozen still. Brennan was surprised but then he relented pulling her body closer.
"Cough Cough"
They broke apart and looked to the door. Stacey, Mike, Emma and Jesse were all there. Emma was trying not to laugh and Jesse looked shocked. Shalimar stood up and brushed herself off.
"What do you guys want?" Brennan asked annoyed that they had interrupted that special moment.
"Adam wants us to test these two. See how well they fight, power control, mental etc." Emma replied still looking like she was trying not to laugh. They all walked out of the room together.
"First we will go feral against feral then elemental against unclassified." Adam instructed.
Brennan looked over at Stacey to see how she would take the news that she would be fighting the best fighter they had. Stacey's eyes were once again yellow. Her smile showed she was ready and in all cases eager to fight. She fixed her gaze on Shalimar sizing her up. Shalimar returned her gaze, her own yellow eyes fierce. They walked into the practice room while everyone else went upstairs to the big viewing window.
Emma looked over to Mike and Brennan. Brennan looked worried. That's expected since it was his sister going up against the one he loves. Mike looked apprehensive almost eager almost worried. Emma was hit with such a blast of love for Stacey from him it was almost unbearable. She shook her head and ran to catch up with the others.
