HEY EVER BODY!!!! Yes yes, I am slow. I needed something more.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My head throbbed with pain. I realized I wasn't under water anymore. I tried to remember what had happened. But all that I got was:

I hit my head and drowned.

Ok so I didn't really drown because I couldn't think if I drowned. Right?

So I opened my eyes just a little to make sure I wasn't dead. All I saw was Alkin sitting lazily by a fire.

"Hello Tristan." He said quite dull, as he poked the fire not even bothering to tell me what had just happened.

I looked around with my eyes wide open, I saw we were still in the woods. We were still by the creek that I almost died in. It now was dark and I couldn't see any stars because of all the clouds. Alkin loved this weather. The air was humid, and pretty cold, but the fire was close enough to keep us warm. I tried to roll to my left, but some thing was in the way.

"Oh yah, don't bother her, you'll wake her up." He said flatly, and I lay back down.

"WHAT?!" I sat up and jerked back. There beside me was a girl. I tried to say something but the only thing that came out was "But- When- Who- What?"

Alkin looked at me like I was an idiot (again) he stood up and sat down on the other side of her.

"Tristan I was hoping you could tell me. I found her with you." He pulled her blanket off and revealed a weird fabric. It was white and blue, the color changed in between them depending on the angle.

"She is a creature of the water." He said in a real fluttery way.

I stared at her. Her hair was lighter then mine, but it had a blue tone to it. She was what I envisioned angel looking like. She was lying on her side facing me. I didn't want to sound stupid, but I had to ask.

"Alkin, what is a water creature?" he sighed.

"She is a Siren. But she doesn't know it." I looked at him; I guess he read my mind again. "I tried to read her mind but it was blank. Gone. Bye bye. See you tomorrow I'm leaving kind of gone. She has no memories. And apparently she isn't a siren anymore." Something I've learned about him is he can very chipper, or a completely boring.

"How can she not be a siren any-"

"Because she isn't! I don't know!!" He growled, stood up and walked over to his spot by the fire. I gave one last look at the girl, covered her up, took a blanket and got closer to the fire.

After a long time I finally came to my senses.

"Alkin, what happened?" I asked mocking his boring voice, he didn't notice.

"We were attacked, you ran, I saved the day." He was lying so pathetically even I could tell. "Fine, we were attacked you ran I go the shit beat out of me. I got knocked out, next thing I know the ogre's are gone and I'm here by the river." I looked very confused about it, so did he so I didn't ask about it further.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The sun was shining and Alkin was Giddy. He obviously had a good night. I didn't. I woke up with that girl smack dab next to me. She had to have gotten up and come because I was on the other side of the fire with Alkin.

I sat up and Alkin was running around making fun of me.

"Shut up!" I growled at him.

"Fine. Let me go with out my fun!" He said it in a mock whinny voice. He walked over to the water and took in a deep breath. I stood up. I was only wearing a pair of pants and it was a warm morning and it felt good.

Back at the palace we never slept like this, only pants I mean (Did I mention they weren't my pants?!). We were always dressed head to toe. You know, people always are saying that they would love to be royalty, man it sucks. You have no freedom. I couldn't even go down to breakfast without being fully dressed, just incase some foreign king were to come unexpectedly. Happened once, I finally decided to go down to breakfast with out my fancy clothes. And who do you think has to show up?! Some king and queen! They wanted me to marry their daughter. Luckily I did dress the way I did or I'd be king of some freaky country.

My clothes were hanging up drying, but they looked dry enough to put on, so I did.

There was a frog in my pants. I hate frogs.

When I finally pulled my boots on, I looked over at were the girl was lying. She was gone.

I was stunned for a moment, so I turned around to tell Alkin and I rammed into some one. They threw their arms around me almost knocking me backwards.

"Don't let them take me!!!" She cried.

I cringed,

It was that girl again. She was shorter then me, and she was crying loudly.

"Who's-" She looked up at me her eyes were so blue. I slowly wrapped my arms around her and she quit staring at me. I didn't know what to do. She was crying and screaming about someone coming to get her. I held her there; she started to relax into me.



"Shh-" I whispered into her ear. "It's alright. Alkin and I won't let anything happen to you." I was bothered by this girl, she was really weird.



I jerked my arms off of the girl to see an angry looking Alkin. He marched right up to me. The weird girl ran behind me.

(A/N OK if you don't get the next part, well don't worry about it)

"TRISTAN!"



"ALKIN!" I yelled right back at him.



"Tristan! Did you know that your shoe laces are untied?!" he yelled and pointed to my feet and I hesitantly looked down at them.

And of all the weird things, he slapped me upside the head. Screaming, "IDIOT! You don't have shoelaces! HA HA HA HA!!!!!" Then he ran off laughing.

All's I could do was stand there with a very confused look on my face.



"Uh, what was that?" I asked myself. The girl walked off (I think back to her bed), also laughing at me. I am very confused.

I looked at Alkin, he was coming strait towards me. I started to back up. Something was wrong, very wrong. Alkin is acting very strange.

He walked over and got right smack dab in my face. His eyes were very big and he was grinning. A freaky grin.



Then he smacked his head, knocking himself over. He sat back up and had this conversation with, well, um, himself.

"Would you stop doing that!" that sounded like the normal sarcastic snide Alkin I know.

"Oh come on! Its not like I did any thing bad!" There is that annoying freaky person again.

"UGH! You just ruined a perfect moment! Plus now he is going to have a very large bump on his head!" Alkin.

"Oh come on, you were the one who told her people were coming to get her."

"I thought Tristan needed a little push out the door-" Normal Alkin tried to say.

"OH Shut up! Why do you always do this to us?" I stood there opened mouthed. Alkin was very strange indeed. And what did he mean "A push out the door?" He looked up at me with a cross face. Damn he can read minds, forgot.

"Oh sorry I am odd, and about that. He's always doing this-" Normal Alkin.

"Oh come on its not like you don't like having me around, though you were here first-" Weird Alkin said to normal Alkin. He looked back up at me, as if he was asking for me to defend him. I was dumbfounded.

"Tristan, you see I didn't want you- Well Any one to know about this. I am Alkin." (Normal) Hmm I never knew that. I thought you were the king of all the great heavens above!

"Oh shut up you twit!" I looked innocent because I thought he was talking to himself again. "No I mean you Tristan. Stop thinking for a moment! I can hardly hear myself talk!!!" (Freaky one) "I am Alkins conscience. You may call me A.C Yes it's a weird name." I looked at him. Then back again at him to make sure he wasn't joking.

"Are you- serious?" I started to giggle. Ok, I know Giggling is a very feminine thing, but I giggle a lot. (Not that I giggle in front of every one though!)

Alkin, (well A.C) Looked up at me, very seriously. "WE ARE SERIOUSE!!"

Alkin spoke up. "Yes, it sucks to have two minds. But usually-" He rolled his eyes. "I am in control. A.C is my second personality or conscience as he calls it. All elves have a conscience. But they can control it-" he let A.C. have control.

"Alkin can't. That's something he isn't good at. Controlling me. Unlike most elves, he can't keep me from doing things, controlling me-" Alkin interrupted almost yelling at me,

"AND UNLIKE MOST CONSCIENCESS, YOU AREN'T TELLING ME TO BE GOOD!! ALL'S I HEAR ALL DAY IS, 'Oh look, underwear hanging on a line. Lets go steal it!' Or, 'Oh look a puppy, GO KICK IT!'" Alkin calmed down after his little out burst and attempted to be the calm and in control Alkin.

"Tristan. I have to take a drug-" I cocked my head. Drug? What's a drug? Alkin sighed again. (He should be famous for it) "An herb! To keep him quiet. I have run out."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/N So I gave Alkin a split personality!!! HA HA HA! I am evil. J Ok it was a little hard to understand. But that's how I feel it confuses me... so accept it and lets get on with the story!
