"Past the Walls."
______________________________________________________________________________
I knew you...or I thought I did...
I knew your smile, your eyes, your happiness
Yet, perhaps I didn't, because I let you down.
That won't happen ever again...
I've reached the last wall, and I will learn how to climb.

This fic is dedicated to my best friend, Hayden. Get better soon, a-man, we all love you and miss you, and we'll be here when you get home.

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Wizards, that's all I can really say to clear it all up if you are confused and think that I do...:)
A/N: Hello, people! Ha, yes. Sorry for taking so long. One, as you can see from the top of this page, I've been dealing with stuff that has put off my writing, but I hope will make up for now. Two, I've been in PEI for two weeks, plus the four day drive home, back to hic ville, Ottawa, Ontario. Three, the major power failure yesterday...Don't know if it effected any of you, but the power went out all over eastern Canada and three states in the U.S. But it's back on now folks, at least for my district anyway. Yes. I don't have much else to say, so I will now commence zeeee writing!
I love Spot and Captain Jack Sparrow!

"Yeeeeep! Yeeeep!"
"Yeeee-Haw!"
To anyone who wasn't a wizard, the sight before them would have been quite disturbing. Although, there probably wouldn't be any non-wizards on the deserted planet of Kortek, the sight was still mildly disturbing to two girls, sisters, who out looked the situation. A tall, broad shouldered seventeen year old, and a shorter but build, Hispanic looking sixteen year old, were running wildly through the dusty terrain, chasing what looked to be like large blue ants on two legs. The sisters, practically identical, with auburn hair and silvery-grey eyes, watched their boyfriends in bemusement, and the seventeen year old one, Nita, backed up slightly when the boys approached. Dairine, who was fifteen, stood her ground, although her expression was one of suspicion.
"Come on! We've got them on the run!"
"You've had them on the run, Kit, for the last four hours." Nita retorted.
Before she knew it, she was on Kit's back, who was charging for the little animals once again, who scattered. Nita snorted, pushed the hair out of her face, and yelped with laughter when Kit increased his speed.
Watching her sister, and Kit, off in the distance, Dairine became aware of Ronan staring at her. She turned, and leaned back in surprise. Ronan's eyes were glazed, seeing past her, and she waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Ronan?"
He blinked, as if he had just realized she was there. "Oh..sorry..he he..spaced out.."
That didn't cut it for Dairine. Ronan never just 'spaced out.'. When he was angry with her, he stared her down, completely aware he was looking at her, his jaw tight and his eyes dark. When he was over tired, he closed his eyes for short periods of time, until Dairine suggested he get some sleep. But he never lost himself in thought, probably knowing that Dairine would pick it up, his eyes never glazed over. Plus, Ronan was in considerably good shape, running with Kit for a couple of hours wouldn't have taken down his energy level. Yet, his face was flushed, his eyes half lidded, and Dairine's heart started to pound. Ro's voice echoed in her head.
'Watch him, Dairi...'
She stepped closer, brushing a sweaty bang from his forehead.
"Baby," She whispered. "You don't look so good."
He blinked in confusion. "W-hat." He looked around himself.
"You wanna go home?"
He looked at the ground for a few seconds, and then nodded.
"Yo, Neets! Kit!"
"No, Kit! Don't step on it! Uh..yeah?"
"We're going home, okay?"
"I said don't-..okay, Dairi. We'll see you in a bit!"
Dairine took Ronan's hand, she had only seen Ronan this weak when Ro had been causing problems, and called over her manual.
"Spot?"
"Eh?"
"Coordinates to home, please?"
"You got it.."
It let out a series of beeping noises.
"Run." (A/N: My power went out again, and just came back on if it interests you! Apparently, the black outs are rotating, so I'm guessing this chapter might take awhile to write..)
When the slap of misplaced air indicated they were gone, Kit gently placed Nita on the ground, and watched wistfully, as the blue creatures disappeared inside their caves, hissing and cursing at them in the speech.
"Would that be against the Oath?" Nita pondered, as she watched the leader, Nita's height in width, emerge from the cave and start towards them.
"Would what be against the Oath?" Kit asked, grabbing her hand and backing up slowly.
"Using our powers to keep the big guy from eating us?"
"I don't think so, if it were self defence."
"True. But in this case, he was provoked." She reminded him, as the angry giant ant broke into a charge.
Kit's voice cracked. "I've got a different plan."
"Yeah?"
"Run it..."
Nita yelped. "You want to RUN from it?"
"No, Nita. Home...run it!"
It took Nita a split second to comprehend, shaking her head, she set the coordinates in her mind and took hold of Kit.
"Run."
***
"Dairi?" Nita called, as she entered the house, Kit at her heels. A groan answered her, and she stopped short. She looked in surprise at Kit, who was staring at the upper level of the house, a grin plastered on his face.
"That was a groan of pain." She said uncertainly.
"I should hope so."
"Oh, Puh-lease." (Or..pur-lease, as J.K Rowling would say, that still confuses me to no end.) "You two are the sex crazed, untrustworthy ones, remember?"
Dairine appeared at the top of the stairs (Fully clothed, to Nita's relief and Kit's bemusement.), reminding them of their situation, when Nita's parents had suggested that the 'adult things' they were doing weren't entirely appropriate. Nita grinned.
"Sex crazed? Me? Nah..." She ruffled Kit's hair. "This one's the one whose sex crazed."
"Nita!"
"Oh, really.." Dairine grinned, "Interesting..."
Kit glared up at her, his fists clenching as if he would love nothing more than to turn her into one of the blue aliens they had encountered before. Nita smiled. Dairine's and Kit's relationship always amused her, it seemed they had the sibling relationship that Dairine and Nita had never really experienced. Maybe it was because Kit had so many sisters, she didn't know, all she knew was that meal times at Kit's house was one of her favourites. A stand down. Kit and his father versus the rest of the girls. You could easily figure out who always won. Dairine and Nita had become very close lately, so it seemed only perfect that Dairine had someone new to pick on.
Kit looked away, his dark, tanned skin flushed. He ran a hand through his hair, his brand new Etnie sneakers scuffing the ground. Nita ruffled his hair again.
"Oh..I still love you." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Even if you are hormonally infested."
He pouted, looking as though he were trying very hard not to grin. "Oh, I'll show you hormonally infested..."
He was interrupted, as a limping Ronan descended the stairs, wincing at every step. He looked acutely more aware of his surroundings, his face back to it's normal color. ( A/N: Damnit, spell check! It's spelled differently in different parts in the world, I'm tellin ya! *mumble* There's no..*mumble* U...damnit...) Nita immediately understood with relief where the groan of pain had come from. It didn't make sense, though. Ronan's wounds from their latest encounter with the Lone Power should have healed completely a long time ago, yet they were still causing him pain.
"Ronan," Nita inquired. "Is your leg bothering you?"
He nodded. "It's no big deal, Nit..." He shook his head. "..a..Nita..it's no biggie. It sometimes hurts when I wake up in the mourning, and when I go to bed..it's no big deal."
But that was a lie. And everyone knew it. Something was wrong with Ronan.
And Dairine was going to find out what.
