"Feed him well." she instructed, and she leapt from the ledge. 2 guards
came in, looked at him, and left. When they returned, they brought 4 plates
and a tiger with them. 1 untied him, the other placed the food down in
front of him, and they left. The tiger stayed behind obviously to watch
him.
-----------------------
Draco
~Why would they leave me untied and with a tiger? Aren't they supposed to be very intellgent? Wonder if this is poisoned.
I paid no mind to anything I'd been thinking and started to devour the food. When I finished, there was but 1 piece left. The tiger starred for a while, then soon approached it causiously, never looking away from me. I made no objections, and it took the meat back to a corner.
Then, a voice came from the window behind me. "Good to see you both have good appetites." I turned quickly to find the girl climbing in through the window, motioning the tiger to stay put as the I moved around. She was wearing nothing more than what looked like a 2 piece bathing suit made of something like leather and a cloak of moss green.
"What do you want?!" I yelled, backing away from the window. "Nothing. Just to see if you'd eaten and to make sure that my baby got fed too." "Baby? The tiger?" "Yep. She's my most faithful servant. Although she's not a mage, she's just as skilled."
~Does she thinks I care? I want to leave! Why can't they see that?!
"I want to see my father!" "Soon enough." She sat where I was previously sitting. I knew I had a scowl on my face, but she just glanced at me and smiled.
Tala
~He's cute but seriously needs to cool down some.
"You don't like it here?"
Draco
~Who does she think she's kidding?! What kind of nutter likes being tied, gagged, and watched every second?
"What do you mean "soon enough"? I want to see him now."
Tala
"Okay. Nadlie, go and retrieve Mr. Malfoy for me, please." ------------------- Five minutes later, Mr. Malfoy appeared tied, gagged and was forced into the hut.
Tala
~Hope he's happy now. His father might not live much longer. *sigh*
Draco
"Father!" He rushes to his father's side. Lucius is barely concious, and hardly breathing. "What'd you do to him!?"
Tala
I looked down at the floor and started to explain. "He was bitten by a very large spider. When we found him, he was in a state of madness. Now, he can barely stand, let alone remember who you are. I'm sorry. We've been treating him and he's been slowly getting better. It still needs time."
~He's been here for 2 weeks and our treatments are working much slower than intended.
Draco
Looking to the floor where my father lay. "He will be alright won't he?" I said concerned.
Tala
"You'll both be fine." I stepped over to Draco's side and pulled him gently away from Lucius. "Take him back to the sanatorium. He needs bed-rest and constant watch." I took Draco's hand and brushed it against the tiger's forehead. He turned in amazement as the tiger got to its feet and started to purr. "She'll be keeping and eye on you. You're permitted to go anywhere in the city with her. You just can't leave." He starred at me blankly for a minute and followed me to the doorway. He was shocked by everything he saw, so I left the pair to themselves.
Draco
~Wow. All these treehouses. How come no one's said anything about these people until now? How can you miss something so massive?
