Gavin. So you can't sue me because I don't have the money to be getting
sued.
A/N: Thanx to the people well person who reviewed. Keep reading, keep reviewing and I'll keep writing. CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88 sorry but here's yet again another cliffhanger :( I'll keep updating I wrote almost the entire story before I began to post it so you'll have the next chapter by tomorrow or the next day at the latest. Keep reading :)
Chapter 7
The soldiers took them to a room with a high ceiling and tall delicate windows. At the end of the hall sat Gavin being tended by slaves as if he was some sort of monarch.
"Hm, what have we been up to?" he taunted, "Trying to take something back that isn't yours anymore, are you?" he continued indicating the black jewel hanging around his neck.
"Give Numair his gift back you worthless bastard!!" Daine shouted, struggling to get out of the soldiers bruising grip.
Looking at Diane, Gavin asked "What are you going to do if I don't, girl? Throw a rock at me? You aren't strong enough to defend him or yourself, brat!"
"Don't you dare speak to her like that!!" Numair protested and elbowed the guard hard in the ribs, knocking the wind out of his lungs. He pulled hard breaking free of the ropes and picked up the guard's sword. He began to charge at Gavin holding the sword high. Gavin said something that sent Numair flying and crashing hard against the wall, landing hard face down.
"Numair!" cried Daine and tried to pull away from the guard, but he tightened his grip. Without thinking she leaned into the guard and dug long sharp claws into the man's belly. He fell back with a yell. She cut her ropes with her claws and ran up to Numair and knelt next to him. Gently she wiped some blood off his head and lip. Gavin laughed and Daine turned to face him, eyes flashing with anger and hate.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt him?" Gavin ridiculed with false sympathy.
Daine noticed the sparkling black jewel that she recognized as the one that held Numair's Gift. Knowing she had to get the jewel, she called upon the winged People that inhabited the Towers and their grounds. Out of seemingly nowhere birds of all kinds crashed through the windows to fly around Gavin's head pecking and scratching at him. Her human form dissolved into a black panther, a fast animal of the hunt. The panther bounded across the room, while dodging fire thrown randomly by Gavin. When Daine became close enough her panther form melted into the first shape that came to mind a peregrine falcon. She darted up to Gavin scratching his face and neck trying to get to the jewel.
Tired and bleeding Gavin blocked the attacking birds and falcon with anything. Daine came close to the leather strap that held the jewel; she dug her talons into the base of Gavin's neck and took the strap tightly in her claws. At that same moment he took hold of the attacking falcon and shoved the bird away with as much strength as he had left. With that movement the strap broke.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hmm. I'm just realized almost all the things Daine has transformed into have been types of birds. don't mind that I like birds. And to let you know I'm not really fond of the fact that Daine doesn't have clothes after she transforms so in this story she comes out of a transformation she has whatever clothes she was wearing before. Sorry if that confused everyone (I know if I wasn't the one writing this I'd be pretty confused and wonder about that.*sighs*) I forgot to write that in the beginning. Now review using that little purple box.
