CHAPTER THREE- Trey Daniels

"I'm serious Daddy! Maybe if Uncle Drake kiss her, she'll wake up and play with me!" said Resha.

Drake turned pale to Resha's suggestion while Donovan was covering Resha's mouth in case she says anything stupid again.

"Donovan, control her," said Oedea.

Suddenly they could hear soft, sarcastic laughter. It was the blond headed boy. His arms were crossed, he was leaning against the wall and his eyes were covered by his front hair. He had a long cut on his left leg.

"Even if Drake did kiss her, she would've died instantly," he said harshly.

"Shut your mouth, Trey!" said Drake bringing his sword out.

"Ha! What you gonna do? You're no match for me," said Trey.

"Wanna bet?" said Drake, interested.

Without saying anything, Trey blasted a green electric ball at Drake who dodged it. His sword then turned into many little daggers and aimed at Trey. Trey dodged themany daggers which followed him wherever he went. At last, he stopped and blasted the many daggers which flew back to Drake and turned into a sword once more.

"Daddy, is Uncle Drake and Uncle Trey fighting?" said Resha.

"Yes," replied Donovan.

"Are they fighting to kiss Ally?" said Resha.

"WHAT!" Trey and Drake said in unison.

Donovan looked at resha in an angry and firm way.

"Hey, Donovan, teach your kid some manners will you!" said Drake.

After Resha's other suggestion, Trey and Drake immediately stopped fighting and returned to their usual possition. Trey leaning against the wall, and Drake lying down on the floor.

Trey was sweating from head to toe because of avoiding the daggers. Slowly he bagan sliding down and landed on the floor where he rested his head on his knees.

Soon after, Ally woke up. She was no longer white and was back to her normal colour. She was shocked to see unfamiliar people in room. But she shook her head out of it and turned to the people she did know.

"What happened?" she asked rubbing her eyes to get a clearer vision of everything.

"You fainted?" said Drake feebly.

"You fainted after hearing Drake's testimony," said Oedea.

"Which was…?" said Ally.

"Your purpose here in Thyme," answered Donovan.

Ally rubbed her eyes somemore. Then she felt something pulling on her sheets, and when she looked down, she could see a small girl tugging on it hard.

"Hello there," said Ally. Resha looked up and stared at Ally.

"Hello! I'm Resha, that's my daddy!" she said cheerfully, "Will you play with me?"

"That depends," said Ally looking at Donovan.

"Daddy, please!" said Resha and begged

"Okay, just make sure you don't get into trouble," said Donovan.

Ally brought Resha to play outside. Oedea told Drake and Donovan to leave as well because she wanted to talk to Trey about something private and confidential, alone.

Donovan walked out of the room while Drake slided on the marble floor like a 5 year-old.

"Honestly, how did you become the leader of the Thyme army?" Donovan questioned.

Oedea was now alone with Trey who was still on the floor. Resting and escaping into a dream away from all his problems. His sadness will slowly drift away, if only he would let others help him.

"Trey, I understand it's hard for you at the moment," said Oedea.

Trey looked up and said, "What do you know?"

"I – "

"You don't care about what happen to me or Ember. You only care of protecting Thyme from its prey," said Trey in a deep voice.

"I'm trying to help you, if you would only listen to me," pleeded Oedea.

"Help me? How? By giving me money? Me and Ember don't care about money, well – " Trey was cut in by Oedea's deep and scary voice.

Illusions formed around the room, making it dark and making Oedea look one hundred feet taller. Trey did feel scared, yes. But he didn't want fear to get the best of him and he didn't want to feel insulted by illusions.

"TREY DANIELS, YOU ARE MISUNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING AT THE MOMENT! WE ARE NOT ENEMIES OF YOU, WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU IN TIMES LIKE NOW!" Oedea's voice howled at Trey.

He was shaking right down to his ankles. Although he may be brave in some ways, but he was definitely afraid of Oedea and wasn't brave enough to go against her.

He fell to his knees and wept. He broke down into tears. His eyes became puffy. Oedea returned everything into it's normal state and Oedea returned to her normal size. She was feeling sympathy for Trey and bent down to his height.

He used hi vanishing powers and vanished out of the room and he was gone. But he wasn't totally gone, for Thyme still needs his skills in magical powers and inteligence.
