A/N Sorry for the really really short chapter last time. I had a bunch of stuff that needed to be done and now I can write the second chapter for the day. I'm avoiding homework like the plague.

Disclaimer: As in all other chapters I do not own any of Amelia At-water Rhodes Characters.

Chapter 9

Kaye was five years old again and her father was playing a game of Hide and Go Seek with her. She would run behind their house and hide in the bushes. He would run after her and pretend not to see her. She had had this dream many times before. But only this time It was different. In the back round she could see that the neighborhood was not hers. Also she felt cold and it was supposed to be nice and warm. She also felt scared as if she were hiding from something not for a game.

Then she looked through the leaves on the bushes and the man that was looking for her was not her father. It was Chris…Jaguar or whatever his name was. But he wasn't alone there was another man with him and a young Woman behind them. She held a dagger poised to stab it into Chris's back, Kaye screamed. She screamed as she had never screamed in her life, the blood curling noise was reverberating around a cold dark room.

She sat up in the darkness and cried her eyes our. Her voice was horse from the screaming and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She got onto her hands and knees and went looking for something to eat or drink. She felt around but found only four walls. The funny thing was they didn't feel like cold stone they were impeccably clean floors and the walls were wood but they were so smooth.

She sat staring into the darkness and once again sank into dark and twisted dreams.

Nikolas had been about to reply, when both heard a scream that was so bone chilling it was eerie. Nikolas looked around in what would normally be considered shock. "What the Fuck was that?"

"I have a pretty good idea, but what were you about to say."

"If you were thinking the way I was it shouldn't be too hard to get her back." He started twirling his knife around; and handed it to Jaguar holding it by the blade and not sustaining a single cut. "When you find her you're going to have to make a mark that won't go away or I will." Nikolas was good to his word. Jaguar knew that Nikolas didn't merely want to put Riska in her place but he also was longing for another companion.

He took the blade and made a cut in his skin and watched it heal as quickly as he had made the incision. "Let's go find my girl!"

The darkness awoke her again. She was shivering and crying silently but she could feel a presence in the room that was not there before. She figured it had to be her tormentor. "What do you want with me now?" Her voice was gruff and dry.

"Nothing really I just wanted to observe you in one of the scariest habitats for a human." The voice was distinctly a female and it came from all corners.

"Be gone and let me die here alone in peace." She huddled deeper into the corner.

"Oh I can't let you die so there is food at your feet and a flagon of water. But don't get comfortable you won't be here for much longer if Jaguar has anything to say about it."

"You're an enemy of Jaguars then aren't you?" her mind began working for the first time in almost a day.

"Not an enemy by definition but more of an annoying fly on his shoulder refusing to go away." She seemed amused with herself.

"Oh go to hell." Kaye mumbled

"Too late deary." The voice laughed and was gone.
