Ch. 12-Kitty

We at in silence occasionally glancing at each other. The same question continuously running through my mind. How did an elf become Dwarf King? I could tell that Shadow was wondering the same thing. How did he get here anyway? And who the hell was he? When we had finished eating several dwarves came out and cleared the table while Nina and the King led Shadow and I into a lounge. He looked at me and smiled, "Please sit down." I did as he asked. He sat down in a chair across from me. "We have finished eating now sir, so will you please answer my questions now?" He nodded, "I will. As I'm sure you have realized, I am the Dwarf King." I glared at him, "No SHIT! How the hell did you become the Dwarf King, what's your name, and why are we here?!" He smiled at me and his eyes sparkled, they were a deep shade of green and they made him even more handsome. "The old King found me when I was not but a babe and he raised me as his son. He called me Thor, though my mother had named Kris when I was born. I know that much for I can remember nothing else from before I came here." I saw the sadness in his eyes as he was saying that and without realizing what I was doing, I rose and walked over to him. I put my arms around his neck and gave him a comforting hug. It felt so right and familiar, like I had down it a thousand times before. I looked down at him and our eyes locked. I started to back away from him, blushing, when a wave of fear hit me knocking me down. "HALO?!" I clutched my head in my h ands and curled up into a ball. Shadow ran over to me and licked my arm, while the King, Kris, helped me into a chair. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" He looked worried and scared, I knew he cared for some reason. "Halo... scared... help... mommy..." Shadow looked at me, "M'lady can you tell where she is?" I shook my head my eyes locking with Kris'. "Who is this Halo?" Another wave hit me and I fell forward into his arms. "My dragon, she's scared, she needs me." He steadied me so I could stand and pulled me close to him, his arms wrapping around me. "I'll take you to her." He picked me up and carried me closer to the source of the emotions, Shadow following right behind him. We stopped for a moment in front of a large door so he could open it and he walked inside. He gently lowered me to my feet and I turned towards a large mass. "Halo!" I jugged the large scaley head that had turned towards me. I looked at Kris, "Why is she here?" He looked at me before hugging me, sending a warm feeling throughout my body. "We found her unconscious, so we brought her in and healed her head wound." I nodded and smiled at him, "Thank you." He pressed me closer against him so I could feel his warm breath on my lips, "You're welcome, and we will let her out now that she has awoken." I nodded my head, licking my lips and wondering how his would taste. He watched me and smiled, "Come now I'm sure you need rest." I smiled up at him and let him lead me back to my chambers. I was about to close the door to my room when he pulled me close to him again. "You're here because there something above ground right now that want's to see you dead, and I can't let that happen." I looked up and him, "And why not?" He just smiled down at me and then bent down and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight m'lady." He walked off and I closed the door. I a sigh escaped from me causing Shadow to look up at me before he curled up at the foot of bed. I changed my clothes and went to sleep. That night I had a peaceful sleep.
