Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rachel!

Place unknown

Rachel passed up and down in the hall, what on earth could be taking so long after all he was just talking to Eryk and seeing how long it would be before he brought back Aleda… what was taking so long she had run away about four days ago and he found her almost as soon as she got there, and then there were those four idiots in Carthak how long does it take to get two little children and a girl about my age to get here … I mean they are all mages, not good ones but still!

"Rachel!" yelled Nicodemus (Nic for short) angrily

Who got him so mad? She thought as she walked through the open door she wasn't very surprised when she heard it slam behind her. She sighed to her self Nicodemus had a horrible temper.

"What's wrong Nic was it that idiot Eryk?"

"Yes, he lost track of that girl so he went home to try to get his sister to help him find her." He sighed if he was trying to forget a horrible memory.

"What happened next" she asked half afraid that he would get angry with her.

"Her sister wasn't there, I think she might be a spy for the Copper Isles but I have no proof and he is very protective of his sister he got mad at me for even suggesting that she was a spy and our enemy."

"Did he quit?"

"No he values his friends to much and he knows that if he quits he'll loose friends. Please tell me you have good news!"

"Well… I'm sorry but I can't they haven't checked in yet."

"Not good this is not good. What if we get caught then what?"

"We won't get caught, don't worry and if anything happens they won't be able to trace it back to you anyway so..."

She was cut off by a sudden knock on the door.

"Whose there?" Called Nicodemus slightly annoyed.

"It's Kerri."

"Come in" Said Nicodemus as he waved his hand to open the door.

"Sir I have good news and bad news."

"Well."

"Good news is that Aly doesn't suspect me, the bad news is that Samara is a spy who is supposed to be keeping an eye on her brother."

"Well you tell Eryk that! He's already furious at me."

"What… why?"

"Because… I suggested that Samara might not be on our side."

"Oh well I'll let him know…the next time I see him."

"Good luck." Said Rachel

"I don't need luck; Eryk can't get bad at me."

"I know how he feels" said Nic as he looked up at Rachel who blushed slightly.

"Well I can see you two are busy… I'll just go I have to get back to Rajmuat anyway I'm supposed to be helping this girl find you."

"Me?" asked Nic surprised "Why me?"

"Not you her! She is supposed to be missing with this girl who Aly's brother likes… well anyway I've got to go." With that she turned and left the room leaving Nic and Rachel alone again.

"So Rachel… You were saying?"

"Oh you won't be caught so you should just relax."

"Well that's a lot easier with you here." Nic replied and as he was about to kiss her there was another knock on the door. "Who is it?" he asked and then added "this better be important."

"It's Ciaran and Ciara we have news from Carthak."

"Come in" he sighed.

"Well we were going to tell Rachel first but we couldn't find her"

"Well you can kill two birds with one stone since she is here."

"Alright… Ciara you can tell them."

"No brother you can."

"Ciara, as your older brother I'm telling you to tell them!"

"No you do it!"

"Stop arguing and some one tell me!" Nic was getting upset again.

"Well you're not going to be happy with what I'm going to tell you … They lost them in the market and well they're looking but… I don't think they're going to find them."

Nic looked very, very upset and Ciaran put a hand on his sisters shoulder. Rachel could see that Ciara and Ciaran were scared and knew that Nic was too mad to do anything but yell and maybe hurt some one decided to say:

"You to go and wait for them to send you news and don't tell us anything unless its news not that everything is the same."

The brother and sister nodded and got out of there as quickly as they could.

"Nic… Nic come on say something… It isn't that bad the plan could still work and hey it would be better if we got Susan instead of a couple of kids anyway."

"How?"

"Susan and Aly became friends during her last visit and Alan loves her and well I'm not sure how that gets Carthak but still."

"No I just think having her out there is dangerous she thinks I'm at home and if she finds out I'm still here…"

"She wont you are staying around here with me… you and I are the only ones who know every one who's involved and I couldn't possibly let you out there and get caught."

"Well you don't have to worry I don't want to leave." Well actually I do but if I told him that I would never be let out of his site.

Nic smiled, "Good come on lets go to talk somewhere we won't be interrupted."

Rachel forced her self to smile and walked with Nic down the hall to his room and walked in.

Ok well lets see could some one remind me who is next.

Susan and Tomy at once: Me no Me!

Ok stupid question… I looked but you're tied so according to my sister it's going to be Susan!

Susan: woohoo!

oh yeah... Review
