Chapter 3

Why so curious...

Part 1

"We're on the continent Kalimdor and right now we're currently in Ashenvale." The young man said looking over his shoulder at her. "This California you're talking about, I've never heard of it and I'm sure no one at the camp has heard of it either."

"How did I get here then?" She asked softly.

The young man shrugged, turning around to face her. She stopped ten feet away from him, keeping a good amount distance between them. "We found you in the nearby bushes, barely alive. You had a strong desire to live considering that you should have been dead because of your injuries."

She flinched at the word 'dead' and how he said it. "I feel fine."

The young man put his back to her and continued walking. "The Healers who healed you saved your life…"

"Healers?"

"Yeah, Healers." The young man said, looking over his shoulder again. "What's your name?"

She looked up at him and blinked. The young man shook his head slightly and walked over to her. She took a step back tensing up when the distance between them was no more than three feet away. The young man put his hand out and said, "My name's Keith."

Staring down at his hand she slowly took it and looked up at him, weighing her options if she should trust this person. "Mia."

Keith smiled and shook her hand. "Well Mia we need to pick up the pace, I don't want to be out here when it's dark with you."

Sitting near a tree she hugged the jacket around herself as she stared at nothing. She felt safe around Keith knowing that he was Human like her but around the alien type being she kept her distance, sitting on the opposite side of the camp. Hearing the sound of snoring she looked up and saw the alien being sleeping near the fire. She studied it, becoming curious. The being had dark blue skin, hooves for feet, and a tail that lay limp next to the thing. She looked over the tentacle like things that were attached to its chin and realized that it must be a beard of some type. Weird beard, that's for sure. She found herself standing up and walking over to the being, looking down at it she noticed it was bulky in size and had a large torso.

Raising her eyes away from the being she looked out into the darkness, hearing voices. Looking around her eyes settled on a figure in the dark that was behind the alien being about two yards away. Looking down at the being she frowned, some watch guard you are. She stepped around the being making her way towards the figure that seemed to notice her. She heard metal clinking against each other and realized that it came from the figure. Now why are you sitting in the dark? Her curiosity drove her closer to the figure till she felt a hand grab her shoulder. Looking over her shoulder she saw bright yellow glowing eyes flicker at her than at the figure in the dark.

"Don't go near those monsters." She heard the person behind her say as they steered her away from the figure. "They'll kill you whenever they get the chance, damn mana suckers."

She heard a growl come from the darkness behind her and felt her hairs on the back of her neck stand up.

"Keith, are little guest here was making her way over to that damn mana sucker."

Keith came out of the darkness looking at her then at the person behind her before his eyes settled on the being sleeping next to the fire. "Last time I leave you with babysitting jobs." He kicked the beings hoof, waking it up.

"What? They get loose?" It asked reaching for its large battle mace.

"No," Keith said crossing his arms. "But she almost did."

Bright blue glowing eyes looked up at her then looked at Keith. The being sat up, hefting its large mace over its shoulder. "What do I have to do?"

"Go find Tyreena and see what she needs help with." Keith said, glaring at the being.

The being stood up and made its way into the darkness disappearing. The person behind her pushed her slightly towards Keith, letting go of her shoulder. Turning around she stiffened, realizing that the person behind her was twice her size. Standing at least over 6'3 the lavender skinned person had long white hair that stopped at the center of its back, long pointy ears that flopped slightly whenever it moved and was well built with muscles that stood out for the simple cloth shirt it was wearing.

"Mia," looking over at Keith she walked over to him when he motioned her to follow.

"You aren't taking her over there are you?" She heard the person say as it sat down next to the fire.

"They saved her life," Keith said placing a hand on her back, moving her towards a sleeping bag of some type. "And no, not tonight anyways."

Feeling that she was safe to speak she looked at Keith and whispered, "What is he?"

"Dylynx?" Keith said looking over at the person before looking back at her. "What do you mean, like what race is he or what class?"

"Race," she said softly. "What do you mean by class?"

"Lie down and I'll tell you." Keith said sitting next to the sleeping bag of some sort. Sitting on the sleeping bag she pulled her legs to her chest, placing her arms on her knees and resting her chin on her arm as she waited patiently. Keith stared at her for a long while, which made her shift uncomfortably. Looking away from her for a moment he looked over his shoulder before speaking. "Dylynx is a Night Elf and by class I mean what he specializes in. He's a Warrior like me, just more experienced."

She stared down at the ground taking in what he said before her ears caught the faint sound of voices off in the darkness again. Relaxing, she felt at ease with Keith nearby and let her guard down, closing her eyes for a moment.

XXXXXXX

Standing up to stretch his legs Keith looked down at the sleeping figure of the young girl. "Funny how she was so comfortable around you." Turning around he looked at Alkan who was walking towards him. "She wouldn't even talk with me when I tried to make a conversation with her."

"At least she doesn't feel unwelcome or else she would have probably tried to run again." He said looking back down at the sleeping girl.

"What was she doing when Dylynx caught her?" Alkan asked.

"According to Dylynx she was making her way towards the Blood Elf." They fell silent for a short while, both knowing that even though two of them had helped Mia the others wouldn't hesitate to kill her, especially the Blood Elf that was tied to the tree. He had seen what the Rogue could do on the battle field and had seen him almost escape plenty of times. But for Tyreena to be able to catch him during his Shadow Step meant that the Rogue was evenly matched with a Death knight, even though Tyreena was a Rogue in her past her life it would give her an upper hand. But to other Death knights, he wasn't even so sure, making him capable enough to kill himself and Alkan even if they double teamed the Rogue. This thought gave him an uneasy feeling in his gut as he thought about tomorrow.

"Keith," Alkan spoke softly. "We have to leave her here. Tyreena found a spare of enchanted chains and there already on the Rogue."

"I know..." He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes before saying softly, "I don't like the fact of him being tied to a tree so close to her."

XXXXXXX

He watched the Human girl study the Draenei as if she had never seen one before. He found it quite amusing on how she tried to run away from these people earlier and is now taking interest in them as if she was being introduced to the world for the first time. He smirked when she looked in his direction. Curiosity kills the cat. Well in this case, the stupid girl. Waiting patiently, he watched with amusement as she slowly made her way towards him. Raising his leg up he placed an arm lazily on it making the chains clink against one another. He rolled his eyes once the Night Elf came into view realizing his little plan wouldn't work. He heard the Night Elf speaking and he caught onto the word 'mana suckers' which made him growl and clench his fists. The Night Elf looked over his shoulder at him and gave him a warning glare to let the young Human be.

Turning his attention elsewhere, he looked at the small group of Horde that was huddled in a circle. Good, they're taking advantage of the darkness. Leaning against the tree he could only hear faint whispers of the small group discussing something that he wouldn't be able to be a part of. Sighing he closed his eyes, listening to the fire crackle and pop before he felt sleep over come him.

Made this tooo short! darn it! *snaps fingers*

/OK! so as u may have noticed i changed the title of the chapter and took out the parts where they switched from Tommy's and Danny's point of view i decided that it didnt fit very well with these chapters and soooo! imma make a seperate chapter that will explain things that are happening back in Cali instead of smooshing them in chapters where they don't belong. Which i might as well add will pop up sooner or later when i feel i should put it in./

*evil smile*
