down and type.. but bare with me, more chapters will follow)
"SHE DID WHAT" exploded Niko in a furious whisper, his eyes sparking. Kye put a finger to his lips and motioned for Niko to follow him outside, Niko stalked out of the door and shut it behind him. "How, when" he asked "Was she"? he started to ask but Kye interrupted him shaking his head "No she wasn't as far I can tell I got there just in time, I think that they have just scared her. It happened a while ago I was walking home and saw her, I followed her, but lost her I found her surrounded by the thugs, she wont remember that I found her" Kye said talking softly. Niko clamed down slightly at Kye soft tone, also he realised that from what Kye had said he had, had no sleep at all since they had last talked.
"She knew not to walk alone after dark" Niko said desperately "She knew I had told her not to, what was she thinking" he said almost to himself sitting on the wall careless of the neat clothes he was wearing for the conference that was due to start in a few hours. Kye sat next to him, "I don't think she realised where she was headed until it was to late, " he said. "But she could have been hurt seriously or worse" Niko replied his voice grave, "gods knows what could of happened" he said images running through his mind. Kye put his hand on Niko and he calmed instantly "But she didn't I and think that next time she will be more careful, besides" he said with a half smile "She gave them hell for trying, she got a some good punches on some of them" Niko smiled faintly. "Your telling me that Trisanna actually hit them" Kye nodded "Until they hit her back. Nothing will show though I fixed it" he added hurriedly. They broke off talking when they heard a crying from inside Niko jumped to his feet and rushed inside, Tris was lying on the couch crying softly Niko grabbed her and hugged her as if she would disappear "Niko I am so sorry" she sobbed "I didn't mean to, I couldn't sleep I wanted to see the dancers" she rambled on. Niko hugged her more tightly "Its all right, your fine, your back now that's all that matters".
Kye watched from the door way, he had been meaning to go back to the alley and do some serious damage to the men, but seeing Tris as she was now. He knew it would do no good, he turned and walked back out to the well and drew up some water and took it inside. Silently he poured water out for Tris and put it on the floor next to her. She picked up it and drained the glass nodding her thanks to him. "How did you find me?". She asked "you were asleep Niko and no one saw me leave" Niko had let go of Tris and was now standing next to her nodded at Kye, "I didn't Kye did". Tris pulled herself up so she was sitting, she looked at him "You" she said. Kye nodded "I was going home and I saw you walking down from the upper city, I didn't know what you were doing so I followed you just in case, I lost you for a while that's when they grabbed you I knew you were in trouble. I found you just in time" he finished quietly. Tris touched her face where she had been hit but found it was healed she looked at Kye who blushed ever so slightly and looked away. "What's happened to the men"?. She asked looking from Niko to Kye. Niko looked at Kye with raised eyebrows "I dealt with them" he said not looking at them "they will never harm another person again" he said with feeling. "Kye, you didn't" started Niko but Kye shook his head "No" he said looking up into Niko's eyes "A nice little spell on them all, if they ever try to hurt another living thing they will suffer instead every blow or injustice". Tris sat looking at Kye with interest wondering what it was that had worried Niko so much when Kye had said he had dealt with the men, she was going to ask but the look in both their eyes stopped her short. She knew they were again hiding something, and she hated to be kept in the dark about things. She sighed to herself, she knew that if they wanted her to know they would tell her, she of all people understood secrets. She stood "I am going to get changed and bath" she told them men, and left the room.
She made herself a scalding hot bath and climbed in wincing at the tingling on her skin. She wanted to scrub all feeling of those men off her. She could still feel his hands on her arms and body, and his foul breath. Her hair began to spark as she got angry. She decided to herself then and there that no one would ever do that to her again she would never be made to feel helpless like that ever again.
Meanwhile Niko was pacing round the outer room, Kye was sitting on the table watching him pace around. "I will stay here with her, I will watch her if you want" offered Kye. Niko stopped and turned to look at him "Are you sure that's all right" he asked. Kye nodded "Zav will be here soon, and I think she would love him". Sure enough the huge black dog walked into the courtyard as if he owned it, a nervous servant hovered in the background unsure. Niko dismissed the servant and knelt down to pet the dog, who still held the bone. Zav collapsed onto the floor with a puppyish groan of pleasure. Kye rolled his eyes and Niko laughed "I was wondering where Zav was" Niko said stroking Zav's belly. Kye smiled "Yes Zav still stays with me, though why I don't know, but we get on well enough, he's good for making sure that I don't forget things, if I want to do them or not". Niko laughed out loud "A still the same then" he said Kye snorted "I swear he's getting worse the more we stay together."
Niko stood and brushed off his clothes, "Does wild magic work with all animals" he asked. Kye shook his head "Mine no, I only have wild magic because of my connection with a Dragon Lord. If I didn't serve Lord Azreal then I wouldn't have been exposed to wild magic. But as far as I can tell real wild magic means that the mage can talk to any animal that they chose" Niko whistled "That has to be something to see I imagine" he said dusting off the last specks of dirt. Kye nodded "It is, I have only seen it a few times myself"
on the other side of the city
Kora sat up in bed, she looked around and saw that Keth had fallen asleep in the chair again. She got out of bed and crept outside, birds were sat on the wall of the balcony she walked over to them and they flew onto her arms chirping to her. She smiled at them, animals were her friends.
((is this the person that Kye is searching for?? You will have to wait and see))
