Hello everyone, I'm back! I know it has been a long time, but school is finally catching up on me. I've been procrastinating way too much this past week, and now it's coming back to haunt me. But hey, who cares about my life! Let's see what my hands type up this time Will Dom survive?

Chapter Three

In Which Kitten attempts to save the day and the Sparrows warn Kel

When Kel reached the royal healer rooms, out of breath from running, she saw Alanna sitting next to a very pale figure with dull blue eyes laying on a bed. All of the healers were standing around the bed, whispering words to quiet to hear.

Behind Kel, a loud trill made her wince and move away, just as Kitten walked through the doorway. Kitten then moved near Alanna, seeming to watch her carefully.

A few seconds after Kitten had made it clear to everyone she was in the room, Tkaa walked in smoothly.

"Kitten says that she can help Dom somehow." Translated Tkaa. "I didn't realize that she had healing powers. Only once every twenty generations does a dragon gain healing powers, but they are extremely strong."

Kitten put her face right up to Dom's right ear, breathing steadily.

"You might want to exit. Kitten says that sometimes her voice can get too loud for human ears." Commented Tkaa.

Alanna exited quickly, a worried looked on her face, followed closely by the healers, whispering complaints to each other.

"I'm not leaving." Muttered Kel.

"Very well, but I don't think you will like it." Exclaimed Tkaa. Kel crossed her arms across her chest and didn't reply. Tkaa turned her head in the direction of Kitten, and Kel, after a moment of hesitation, did as well.

Kitten was standing by Dom, her muzzle open just slightly. Then, unexpectedly, Porko flew in from the window and knocked Kitten over. After that he continued to fly around the room, squealing loudly.

"Porko, stop! Stop!" Yelled Kel, but Porko didn't hear. Finally Tkaa talked in pig-talk, or something like that, and Porko settled down, landing on top of Dom, and lying down stubbornly.

"Why, it's almost as if he doesn't want Dom to be saved!" commented Kel.

Kitten jumped up from the ground and stared angrily at Porko, then let out a trill that made Kel's ears ring. Porko screeched and crumpled up in a ball. Kitten continued to trill, and didn't stop even when Porko fell off the bed and started rolling around on the floor. His wings shriveled up, and his face became mutated, until all that was left of him was a small piggy bank.

At the same moment, Dom groaned and opened his eyes.

"My head hurts." He exclaimed.

"Dom! You're okay!" Yelled Kel happily. She ran to him, and grabbed him up from the bed, hugging him furiously.

"Ouch! Watch the head, Kel!" Complained Dom.

"Sorry," Apologized Kel, "I'm just so happy you're not dead!" she then turned toward Kitten.

"Thank you so much for saving Dom's life Kitten! But what did you do to Porko? What will Alanna think? Oh no, if she finds out Porko's gone, I won't live through tomorrow!"

"Do not worry," Assured Tkaa, "I presume the effects are only temporary, at least that is what Kitten says. But-" At this point Tkaa glanced at Porko, then back at Kel, "I suggest you keep an eye on him."

Kel opened her mouth to question Tkaa, but two sparrows flying in through the window chirped loudly and interrupted her.

"What are they saying?" Asked Dom.

"I don't know, but it seems to be something about danger. I think we should go to Daine, because it must be important." Replied Kel.

Two hours later, Daine turned towards the eager face of Kel grimly.

"I'm afraid they have some very bad news." Exclaimed Daine, "Of course, there is no proof, but I don't see why they would lie about something like this."

"Well What are they saying?" Asked Kel.

"I'm sorry Kel, but they are saying that someone is deliberately trying to kill you, and they heard that the pig, Porko I think you call him, is an accomplice."

****

Wow, so suspenseful. But aren't you glad that Dom is okay? That is all that matters! Hmm. It was interesting that Kitten had secret powers, though, wasn't it? And that she could heal people and make flying, speaking pigs turn into piggy banks. That's all for now! Read and review please!
