Nicole went and sat by the window. She could see the shadow of a bird flying away.
" why aren't you going after him?" she heard coming from the hall.
She continued to stair at the window " because he was right..."
Vern leaned against the doorway " that's never stopped you before..."
Nicole turned to face him " ...ya well that was before...I've grown up...things change...
...maybe it's better we aren't together..."
" we've all grown...we've all changed...we've learned from our mistakes..."
He grinned " besides all he would talk about before we meat up was getting back to you...
He wouldn't shut up about it...you just got scared...you think you
have to make a choice between him and that Dragon... go find him...you owe him that much"
Vern said walking back up stairs.
Nicole stud up and walked out the front door into the brisk night sky.
...what am I doing?...
She thought as she charged through the forest looking for him.
...what will I say when I find him?...
Tears began to fill her eyes as she rushed through the trees.
Segato sat lonely in one of the tree branch's
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Nicole ran through the forest once again ending up at the river ,but Segato was nowhere to be
found, tears now falling freely she sat by the tree.
Have you ever been in love?
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand.
Segato sat quietly staring at her, debating weather he should do what his heart is telling him.
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
" Segato !...Segato" she yelled " I'm sorry!...please talk to me"
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care.
Nicole sat for a few minutes and began to walk back.
..I cant believe what I said...
Segato sat in the branch far from her, watching her walk back down the path.
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever.
Nicole sighed and ran her fingers through her hair and lonely walked down the path.
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you into my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep
She whipped a tear from a cheek.
Segato stud up on the branch and sighed.
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever.
Nicole stopped and looked back " Segato?"
After a few moments Segato jumped down from the branch.
" why are you down hear?"
Nicole looked to the left" I don't know.."
...why cant I look at him?...
Segato stayed silent.
" I gess I had to come down to tell you I'm sorry."
" its already been said " he said turning away to walk down the path.
Nicole dashed foreword to grab him arm.
" Segato please..."
Segato looked down at her " I'm sorry"
he continued to walk down the path, leaving her.
" You would of done the same thing!...Segato..just listen"
He turned " No! I would of brought someone- the team with me...what you did was so..-
idiotic!" he turned around and out his hands on her shoulder " you could of really gotten heart!..
..that dragon hurt you once..you could of gotten hurt again...you almost died that day at the
river...and then your dragon...you could of died and no one would be able to bring you back"
Nicole stared into his eyes
...he really cares...
"...why do you care so much?...why would care that much...you barely know me"
He turned around and walked a few steps.
He was silent for a few minutes, "..I gess...- neither of us know one another...but...I would like
to really become your friend...for some reason I wont to know you...I wont to be with you"
He looked at Nicole as the sun began to rise.
Nicole just smiled and took his hand " I wont to be with you too"
Chelsea sat up and yawned.
She stretched and went into the bathroom.
...what happened last night?...
She thought as she turned the shower on.
She recalled the events of the night before as she showered.
She sat in front the vanity brushing out her wet hair.
...Vern saved me...he cares...
She thought with a smile
"..I never got to tell you"" ..I realized...power is nothing...I care for you...so much.."
She couldn't help but smile as she continued to get dressed.
She opened her door and began to walk out when she fell flat down.
She sat up to see Vern.
" Vern...what are you doing out side my room?" she said as he helped her up.
He blushed " umm...well after you were attacked..I-"
" he sat out your room all night to make sure you weren't attacked again" Nicole said
walking up the stairs with a snake wrapped around her neck.
She continued past them and went into her room without a word.
Vern watched her walk by, with aggravation when Chelsea flung her arms around him
" aw...how sweet.."
Vern's face grew redder " well umm..."
Nicole threw herself on her bed.
The snake awoke and went to the top of her banister and went back to sleep.
Scar sat on the floor next to her bed.
...you awake?..
The griffin moaned
...you back with him?...
...suppose so...how's Divinity?..
...fine she's resting in the mountains...why did you bring that snake back?...
...Divinity protected it...I brought it back to rest...
...that's no ordinary snake...it's a basilisk...
...cant be...they kill by looking into their eyes...
Scar opened one eye.
...this is a shadow basilisk...go look in your book..
He rolled over and went back to bed.
Nicole sat up
" Accio Book!"She said walking over to her door and opening it.
She sat by her vanity and brushed her hair
Vern and Chelsea sat talking on the couch in the hall.
" so, where is your wolf?"
Vern leaned back in the couch
" don't know he'll show up later he comes and go's when he feels like it..." he turned his head
" your's"
" she's down at the river relaxing...gave her time to find a nesting ground around hear"
A book went streaming past the two.
Chelsea turned her head to Vern
" what do you wont to do now?"
" breakfast?"
" sure"
Look at me now..
Won't you listen to my heart?
For cryin' out loud..
I've been standing in the dark.
I want someone,
To show me the way.
I'm lost on a lonely road.
There must be a light, at the end of the tunnel,
Before I go outta control
Nicole held out her left arm catching the book.
She put her brush down and opened the empty pages to write in Shadow basilisk.
A dragon snake...gets to be a hundred to six hundred feet in length. There bite can contain
a acid or poison depending on mood. Fangs could be any where from twenty to thirty feet long.
Their eye's are not deathly. Shadow basilisk have the ability to travel in shadows. Trainers
include Sentalcu Alcomdo, and Don Derichli. Trainers often find they have the ability to travel
in shadows and read there minds. It's cautioned when training- Shadow basilisk could take over
minds.
Nicole shut the book and went and laid down on her queen bed.
...well it looks like we have another dragon Scar...
She smiled and snuggled her head in her pillow closing her eyes and falling asleep.
.I wanna fall in love..
I wanna feel that rush..
Runnin' into my heart,
Shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I never felt before.
I wanna fall in love..
I wanna feel that touch.
I've only dreamed about it
Been livin' without it,
And that ain't good enough!
I wanna fall in love.
Somewhere out there..
Someone else is searching,
Segato laid on his bed and dozed.
Like me.
And I know he must be hurting..
Maybe tonight
He's walkin' down
The same road I been taking..
And well meet up,
Without even talkin'..
And he'll know what I'm saying..
I wanna fall in love..
I wanna feel that rush..
Runnin' into my heart,
Shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I never felt before.
I wanna fall in love..
I wanna feel that touch.
I've only dreamed about it
Been livin' without it,
And that ain't good enough!
I wanna fall in love.
Vern and Chelsea wondered the hallways endlessly.
Vern opened a door to find a wall " this is the twenty fifth door...so far we found a ballroom,
screening room, green room, phone room, weight room, a green room, the back yard, which
contains, a pool and Japanese style spa. The Basement, a star gazing room...which makes no
sense because were on the first floor. Two more bed rooms, another library, a reading room,
an art room, and two full wardrobe rooms. Plus six doors that lead to nowhere. And no kitchen
or dinning room!" he yelled slamming the door.
Chelsea walked down to the last door in the hall way.
Vern walked over to her " this should be it least one of them"
Chelsea opened the door and a large blast emitted.
Nicole sat up in bed.
...a noise...blast!...
She flung the door open and ran down the stars.
She stopped on the first floor and looked around.
...where did that come from...
"What's going on?" Segato said coming down the stairs.
Nicole turned to see Segato coming down in nothing but boxers.
"Boy you-" she shook her head trying to stop her face from turning red" never mind- it come from down hear one of the doors"
The smoke cleared.
Chelsea looked from behind Vern, he had jumped in front of her when he first heard the noise.
In the door way was an elderly man.
He had a lang beard and was dressed in a butler out fit.
" hello my name is Jeaves, I am the butler of the house..you must be the new owners"
vern turned around " yes...what was with the explosion?"
" oh I'm vary sorry...this is the...uhhh...travel room...you know to get from place to place.-
Takes you where ever you wont to go"
Vern looked back at Chelsea with a confused expression.
The two ran into the first hall opening (the living room) to now find a door.
" sense when is their a door in hear?"Segato said opening it " it wasn't hear last night"
He opened it to see a long never ending hall way.
Nicole lifted her head "smoke...I smell it"
Segato looked down at her in worry.
"Come on we'd better get moving"
the two ran down the hall as fast as they could.
" Jeaves? Is it?" Vern said eyeing the man who was now leading them back through the hall.
" yes"
" why is it that some of the doors lead-"
" why they don't make sense?" Jeaves said looking at Vern with a grin " these doors are
enchanted. They move when they wont to"
" so when can we eat?...when its door wonts to come back?"
" oh no...no...the dinning hall is on the other side of the hall and its door doesn't really like to
move...just head down this hall and across the entrance hall, take a left and you'll find the
dinning hall..breakfast. should be weighting when you get there...I must go...I have to go
clean the reptile room...I'm afraid Mrs. MoConner went through the wall and accidently
let out the spiders..."
" Mrs. Conner...spiders?" Chelsea said cringing.
" oh no worries...the spiders are none poisonous...and Mrs. Conner is one of is previous owners
she roams the halls..."
" so she's a ghost?"
"Yes...vary kind...all six of them are...but be warned don't go into the attic" he saidopening
another door and walking down another hall"
Vern looked down the new dark hallway that jeaves disappeared into " didn't this door lead to
a wall before?"
Chelsea shook her head.
The two looked down the hall to see Nicole and Segato running towards them.
" are you guys ok?" Nicole asked.
" ya were fine...that noise was our butler Jeaves..." Chelsea explained as they walked down the
hall.
The four walked through the door out into the entrance hall.
Chelsea looked up Segato " where are your clothes?"
Vern chuckled " not on him"
"What ever -I'm going back to bed..." Segato said yawning and heading back up stairs.
Chelsea smiled and nudged Nicole in the arm.
" You know he looks good...Segato! Nicole totally-"
She stopped when she felt an hand on her arm.
" five simple words...look what I can do"
Nicoleturned around and went up stairs.
Vern looked back at Chelsea "what was-"
She had an angered look on her face " don't ask." she walked away " I hate black mail"
