Author's Note: In the last chapter I think I made it sound like Vilandra had been in love with both Khivar and Rath, but what it was meant to sound like was Mekhi wouldn't talk about Rath's reason for not loving Vilandra. You'll find out why in the next chapter!

CHAPTER 8

The Shadow, who was more commonly known on this planet as Jez, was making his way back to the motel he and his companion had been sharing for a month. The brat was still unconscious in the backseat.

"You don't thing they'll find us do you?" His partner, Quentin asked worriedly.

"No they won't find us. We're two towns away from them now. And besides, I blocked the boy's powers - he won't be able to use any of them for 3 days at least. We keep blocking his powers and he won't be able to communicate with his parents. We'll be set." Jez didn't really care if the boy ever woke up. His main priority was revenge against the damn King who took what was his - and Khivar's of course.

Jez would not think twice about killing the child seated behind him, but Quentin may be an obstacle. He was weak, he had spent too long on this planet and sometimes felt human emotions such as 'guilt'. How this planet had survived so long with such a weak race completely baffled Jez.

"Do we kill the kid or do we bring him to Khivar?" Quentin tried to concentrate on driving but this whole situation kept bugging him. He had a bad feeling from the start what with messing with the King's son and all.

"We'll see. Now shut up and drive." Jez ended the conversation. He didn't have the patience for his cousin's endless questions. Soon enough he would know - everyone will know. Soon Khivar will bring the entire Royal line crashing down and all will bow down before him and Jez would once again have his Queen.
