Author's note: I have slightly revised the earlier chapters because I
found quite a few mistakes. I didn't change any thing from the plot
though. (just thought I'd let you know). Thanks again to any one that
took the time to review. Here is the next chapter.
***********************************************
Emma walked through Sanctuary her mind on what had just happened. She was so rapped up in her thoughts that Jesse had walked passed her before she realized his presents. She turned around. "Hey Jesse."
"Hey, Brennan said I missed quite a lot while I was gone.,. what happened?"
"He didn't tell you what happened?" Asked Emma quite surprised. Jesse shook his head answering her question. "Dezeray almost died. Her body was self destructing."
Jesse's eyes widened at what Emma said. "Why?" He asked.
Emma thought a moment. "I don't know." She confessed. "Adam gave her some kind of liquid and she seemed fine. Except for the fact that she didn't even have the strength to stand up."
"Well.,. maybe it was because she hasn't eaten in a few days." Suggested Jesse. ".,. So where is she at the moment? Back in the dojo?"
"No she's in one of the guest rooms.,. I should probably go see how she's doing. It's been a few hours now."
"I'll come. But are you sure she isn't going to try and kill us or something." Offered Jesse.
"I don't know, I hope not." Said Emma with a shrug as if it was nothing to be worrying about.
Emma knocked on the guest room door before she opened it. The light form the hall way showed Dezeray already sitting up in the bed with her knees bent and her elbows rested on top of them, her hands clasped lightly in front. The sheets no longer covered her body. Emma finally took the time to notice what she looked like, slightly surprised that she hadn't taken the time to do so before, the light from the hall cast into the room was enough to even determine the colours. She had shoulder length hair, that was black with a few streaks of red and her skin was extremely pale. Her frame was thinner then most peoples though Emma guessed that it was because of lack of nutrition. She wore slightly loose fitting black leather pants and a black leather biker's jacket over a tight black t-shirt. She had a thick dog collar around her neck studded with silver spikes, silver earrings going all the way up her left ear, and one in her left eyebrow. Several assorted silver rings where placed on her fingers.
Dezeray noticed Emma's staring and raised her priced brow. "Are you going to stare all night young one?"
"Sorry." Apologized Emma wondering why she had called her 'young one,' for Dezeray looked no older then her or Jesse. "So, how are you doing?"
"I am well enough that I could kill him if I wanted." Responded Dezeray. Referring to Jesse with a smirk.
Emma ignored the comment. "That was a fast recovery." She noted.
Within a second after Emma had finished Dezeray appeared less then two feet in front of her. "I am fast." She said calmly. Jesse made a move to try and get between her and Emma, but Emma held him back.
"I guess so." Said Emma in response. "So.,. why haven't you left? You seem to be completely well now. I doubt you would have any trouble getting out, since you already figured out how to get in."
"I owe you my life Emma and I have, quite, decided to repay you. Weather I like it or not." Stated Dezeray looking at the ground.
Emma looked surprised at what Dezeray had just said, while Jesse just simply watched her. "I didn't save you. Adam did. If it hadn't been for.,."
Dezeray cut her off. "Adam merely assisted you."
Emma decided it was best not to argue further on whom she needed to repay. The fact that she would was good enough for her. "Then do I have your word that you won't harm anyone?"
Dezeray paused for a moment then she slid one of her silver rings off her left pointer finger. "I swear on this rings worth to me, that no harm will come to your 'dear' friends."
"What is so special about that ring?" Asked Jesse forcefully, finally speaking.
Dezeray glared at Jesse. "The one I love gave it to me.,. one of the few I trust." She slid the ring back on to her finger. Emma took the time to look at the ring as she slipped it onto her finger. It had some type of markings all around it, but unlike hers from Mutant X it boor the markings weather it was on or off the owners finger.
Jesse was silent as he thought about what she had just said, but Emma spoke up. "Where is.,."
"Do not pursue it further.,." Said Dezeray cutting her off. Emma noticed a slight change in her voice.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to.,."
Dezeray cut Emma off yet again. "I know."
Emma paused, deciding to drop the previous topic. "I'm going to go tell the others how you're doing. Do you want to come?"
"Yes. I've been longing for a chance to stretch my legs."
"K.,. follow me." Said Emma starting to walk, Jesse by her side. Dezeray followed slightly behind the two. They ran into Brennan and Shalimar in the t.v. room watching what looked to be an action flick. "Hey guys." Said Emma as they walked in.
Both Brennan and Shalimar turned saying hi. Brennan stood up when he noticed Dezeray standing behind Emma and Jesse. "How are you doing?" Shalimar asked Dezeray to break the silence.
"I'm fine." Answered Dezeray, she seemed a little surprised by the fact that Shalimar actually cared.
"You recovered fast." Said Shalimar lightly.
Dezeray smirked. "Really? I hadn't noticed." She said, mocking her. Everyone looked at Dezeray when she uttered the smart remark.
"You know, if it hadn't been for us you'd be dead. Don't you think you should show a little respect?" Asked Brennan getting tiered of her attitude.
Dezeray raised both her eyebrows. "Oh really? But then again if it hadn't been for you I wouldn't have BEEN in that SITUATION! .,. mortals." She mumbled the last part.
Shalimar looked at Brennan visibly agreeing with what Dezeray had said. Then Jesse spoke up. "Yah, but if you hadn't come here in the first place non of this would have ever happened."
"Why don't you kill me then, be done with it. FORGET it all happened!"
"Because we don't do that here." Said Adam whom was now standing near the group, though no one had noticed him come.
"No.,. instead you cage me like an animal."
"You were never caged, just confined for both your and our safety. And your not even confined any more." Pointed out Adam calmly.
Dezeray glared at Adam. "I'd kill you all right now." She murmured under her breath as she turned and left the room. A few of the members cringed ever so slightly at the murmured threat.
Adam turned to Emma when Dezeray was out of earshot. "Are you sure that it is safe to have her out of the dojo Emma?"
She nodded. "She promised she wouldn't hurt any one."
"And your just going to simply take her word for it?" Cut in Brennan.
"Yes, Brennan. I am going to take her word for it." Said Emma crossing her arms.
