Chapter 15

We last left our hero in trouble surrounded by a wall of fire, his girl taken away by an ally/enemy, and Fala on the loose. Well things just can't get any worse or can they?

The darkness surrounded him and he knew no more. When he came too some hours later he found that he had been taken to a place some five miles away from los noches. It was very cold and very dark. He was thankful for that. The fire had been hot against his skin and it had left a surprisingly golden sheen on his skin.

"Yes it is a very very lovely look on you." The voice came from some where on his left. It was impossible to tell if this being had a weapon with them. And he was too tired to try and use any of his power.

"If you want to kill me please do it quickly. I would like to lie in peace now. I have had too much to deal with and I have no idea where Kaye is." His voice was husky and off-handed as if he really wanted to die.

"Well if I had come to kill you I would have done so already. You were so cute being weak. I was planning on jumping in and killing fala but I was detained by Aubrey yet again. He hates it when I have fun." The real RISIKA came fully into the room at that moment.

"Oh god if you're another one of Fala's attempts at disguising herself you're doing a poor job of doing so. Risika is a lot uglier than you are right now. She has the annoying habit of smacking the guys upside the head like a human when she gets angry. It's quite amusing to see you trying to imitate her stupefied look too. Though yours looks a lot nicer than hers. When she scowls she gets these wrinkles around her eyes and her mouth like she just sucked on a lemon for the first time." Jaguar sat up at that moment and looked up at Risika. He saw the look in her eyes and knew a split second too late that this was indeed the real Risika.

"Oh crap," he hissed.

Risika walked over to Jaguar and smacked him upside the head so hard he could have sworn his brain had bumped the side of his skull. "Ugly am I? Looked as though I was sucking on a lemon? You really don't know when to stop do you?" She shook her head and slapped him across the face.

"Will you females stop with the hitting! It gets really old really fast and right now I have had my fill of women." His voice was a low growl. He stood up as if to leave when Risika's next words called him to his senses.

"Nikolas took her didn't he?" Kaye is gone and Nikolas now has her. She was hurt I know that much. You know that Fala had a mind control over the girl. There was no way that she could have survived with out any one's help. Nikolas just got there first. You were too busy protecting your territory."

"Hey don't start pinning this one on me! I didn't ask for Fala to take Kaye prisoner. I didn't expect Nikolas to actually mark her. I thought he was going to help me."

"You sound like a stupid child. Since when has Nikolas EVER helped any one else? Since when has he placed anyone's interests above his own?" Risika was leaning against the wall looking at him as if he were the slowest creature that ever walked.

"Don't look at me Like that! I am not stupid," he yelled at her.

"No of course not, just extremely idiotic. You need to shut your big fat mouth and go find Kaye. Otherwise Nikolas will end up making her just like Sarah. A loner who won't take human life. The decision is yours." (Ik that sounds totally lame)

A/N Hey all this is the first chapter in a long time and I'm sorry for that. I have had major stress stuff going on. You girl know what I'm talking about Boys (So confused about how I feel about a guy), School, writing, and just living in general. To you boys I'm sorry I was very very slow. It wasn't my fault (well yeah it was but w/e) stupid CAPT testing took like forever. It's just these stupid tests that tell us if we deserve to be in school at all.

But hey it you have gotten this far guess what! You win a prize! I'm gonna write another chapter when I get home tomorrow and it'll be more exciting than this one. -Though I personally do love the part where Jaguar majorly burns Risika. - Thanks for sticking with me. Much love all
