CHAPTER 16: Mismatched Feelings

Sara and Diva walked out to the waiting car side by side. She had ordered Amshel to deal with an angry Karl and Nathan was over at the theater getting ready for Diva's audition. Solomon was busy working. So Sara had chosen this time to rake Diva out somewhere. She paused and turned around as she sensed someone coming up behind her. It was James.

Sara inclined her head to him. "Is there something you needed, James?"

James gave a short nod. "I think I should come with you and Diva. Saya is still in the city and she may try to attack Diva" She could tell he was genuinely concerned.

Sara started getting angry. "Are you suggesting that I can't protect Diva on my own?" Diva quickly grabbed her hand to halt her if she should attack. Sara glanced at Diva and then glared back at James. "Fine. Come if you want"

They continued walking to the car. Diva sighed and asked, "So Sara, where are we going?"

Sara pulled opened open the door of the car and motioned for James to get in first. As he got in she glanced up at one of the windows to see a furious Karl watching them. She looked at Diva calmly and answered, "Wherever you'd like to go, my love"

Diva got in the car next and Sara got in last, closing the door behind her. Diva smiled at her and said, "I'd really like to sing right now. Take me to the place where I can sing my song"

Before Sara could respond, James said, "I don't think that would be a good idea, Diva"

Diva turned to James with the saddest, most pleading look on her face that Sara had ever seen. "But James, I really want to. Please?"

Sara looked to the driver. "Take us to Covent Garden right away" she ordered before James could respond.

As the car started to move, James started to protest. "Sara...."

Diva cut him off. "Thank you, Sara" she said with a big smile on her face.

Sara smiled at James evilly. "Of course, Diva. If that is what you wish"

James glared at her.

Sara, Diva and James walked down an aisle in the theater. Suddenly Nathan appeared above them. He looked at all of them and said, "What brings you all here out of the blue?" he said cheerily. He looked at James. "Could it be that you just had to see little ol' me?"

Sara looked back in forth between Nathan and James with amusement. Then she focused on Nathan. "Diva has requested to sing" she told him.

Nathan looked at them with surprise. "But her rehearsal is not until much later" He leaned against the railing as Diva went on. "I'm pretty sure though that no one will be able to hear her outside of the theater. But honestly, letting Mother do whatever she wants...."

James pointed to Sara. "It was HER idea to bring Diva here. I'm just here to protect Diva in case she runs into Saya again"

Suddenly Nathan grabbed James from behind. "You worry too much, dear James" James glared at him.

"James!" Diva suddenly called from above. They all looked up at her. She gave a light laugh. "How is this?!" She threw herself off the edge.

"Diva!" James called out as both he and Sara ran for her.

Sara got there first and caught her. She saw James give her a jealous look but ignored him. "Are you alright, Diva?"

Diva started chuckling uncontrollably. "That was fun" she chuckled out. "Let's do it again"

Sara chuckled herself while James gave Diva a stern look. "Diva...." He drew out her name in an irritated tone.

Nathan shook his head. "Goodness, that man has no sense of humor"

* * * *

Diva was singing her song happily up top while Sara and Nathan sat in the audience. James stood behind them. The three Chevaliers tensed as they felt Saya's presense suddenly.

"Tell me, dear Sara" Nathan said as he started glaring lethally. "Can you feel it?"

Sara glared as well at Diva's song about to be interrupted. "Of course"

James eyes boiled red.

* * * *

Sara, Diva and Nathan were far away from the stage while James was lying in wait. Sara and Diva were sitting. Nathan stood in front of them. The curtains suddenly opened to reveal the stage. Sara smiled at the sight.

Sara heard Saya say, "This is...."

Nathan started clapping his hands ominously. "That's right. It's the Zoo" He smiled. "So it's only appropriate that this is Diva's stage, wouldn't you say?"

"Chevalier" Sara heard Saya growl.

Nathan disappeared from her view and she heard his voice from below. "Very astute of you. You must be Saya, and you are Hagi. You're more handsome than I imagined. Why don't you come a little closer. You're released from your duty, you know. So maybe it's time we got to know each other better"

Saya spoke up then. "What are you saying?"

"Oh wait" Nathan again. "You're not quite up to speed yet, are you?" He snapped his fingers and a spotlight fell on her and Diva. That was their cue.

Sara stood up dramatically. As soon as Saya saw her she growled, "You" Hagi just glared furiously. Sara held her hand out to Diva. Diva took it and stood up slowly. Saya gasped. "Diva" Sara and Diva smiled at her menacingly.

Nathan watched Saya with amusement. "Please allow me to clarify though that WE are just spectators" Saya and Hagi looked at him suspiciously. He motioned into the shadows of the stage. "This is your opponent for today"

Something shot out at Saya and both she and Hagi dodged, landing above the stage. James came out of the shadows in his Chiropteran form. "Allow me to introduce to you, James Ironside" Nathan said theatrically.

"Impressive, isn't he?"

* * * *

Sara and Diva had been watching the battle between James, Saya and Hagi with Nathan when Diva suddenly spoke to Sara telepathically, saying, "I need to leave. I'm starting to feel weak again"

Sara looked to her. "Is it them?" she returned telepathically with worry.

Diva gave her a nod and stood up. Sara stood up with her. Nathan turned to them. "Dears, are you two leaving already?" He sounded surprised.

"I'm tired of this" Sara said to him. "It's boring"

"And my sister" Diva added. "She looks scary"

"Well, alright" Nathan said. He looked at Diva seriously. "But promise me you won't eat the driver this time" He smiled lethally. "There's plenty to snack on back home"

"Alright" Diva said, sounding exhausted. "He wouldn't taste good anyway"

Nathan turned to Sara. "Don't just kill him either"

Sara smiled cruelly. "No promises on that one"

Sara and Diva left the theater.
