Knowing the roads so well Ballari decides to take a long walk to help clear her head. As she is walking her thoughts keep drifting back to the same questions, "Why did I not tell that woman long ago about me? Why does the thought of her and her kiss still affect me? Why does Behavna look just like the woman from long ago?" Ballari headed left walking towards a clearing that is in one of the wooded areas that lined Baker's Ridge road. In the middle of the clearing stood a Giant Oak tree surrounded by smaller trees; like the smaller trees wanted to protect the ancient Oak. A figure climbs the Oak tree when she hears footsteps approaching. The figure crouched down trying to hide in the shadows. Something that the figure is not at all used to or familiar with.

Ballari sits on the ground with her back resting against the bark closing her eyes for some much needed mediatation. When she opens her eyes she sees the figure's shadow on the ground illuminated by the full moon. Ballari's sense of smell told her that the figure is Behavna. Being the only vampire to be born Queen ment she has gifts that no other vampire had. Ballari can implant anythought into anyone at any time; having higher standards she rarley uses it. She also has the power to teleport; she uses that one in only certain situations. This happens to be one of those times; she teleports herself behind the figure.

The figure looks to the left and to the right trying to figure out what happend to Ballari. When there is a voice behind her asking, "Loose something"?

Looking out into the distance the figure responds rather lively, "No, just misplaced".

"Maybe you should try looking behind you. That's what I do when I feel I am misplaced. It could work for you too".

"No, that will not work. I lost something a long time ago". The figure turns around and sits down facing Ballari.

"Why did you follow me? Do you want to fight me"? Ballari asked crisply.

"I felt like taking a walk you just happened to be in front of me. I do not fight without just cause". Ballari watches as the figure lifts her leg and places it on the branch and continues to say, "As long as you don't give me a reason we will not fight".

"Remove your mask and we will talk face to face. Otherwise we will fight." Ballari says sternly eventhough she feels like smiling

"I guess we will fight cause I want to keep it on. Then again the fight will be one sided because I am not going to raise a fist against you or any other innocent person; Where is the honor in that". The figure says aloud while thinking, ' Do it because I can not die'. Ballari hears both statments clear as a summer day and lifts her eyebrow as she thinks, ' No hurting a innocent doesn't strike my fancy.' Saying aloud, "Would a dead Queen strike yours?"

Crisply the figure says, "Sorry to disappoint you love; any death without just cause does not strike me..NOR WILL IT EVER."

"So much for us being enemies; Shall we be acquaintances?" The figure stands and steps closer to ballari and says, "Not acquaintances. The figure removes her ski mask and continues "Friends."

Ballri quirks her eyebrow and says, "I never had someone stick around long enough to be my friend let alone someone I trust to get that close".

Behavna steps closer to Ballari and looks into her eyes and says, "As a person I respect you along with anything you say. I may not like some of the things you do, but I will always respect you. Can you say the same"?

Ballari looks down at the ground then into Behavna's eyes, "Yes, I can. You look familiar have we met before"?

Behavna tries to gain the courage to answer Ballari's simple question, However, the answer is complicated. She takes a deep breath and says, "Seriously, we have a problem."

"What is it"?

"Look off into the distance and tell me what you see". Behavna says the last part as pulls the ski mask back on.

"All depends are you asking about to the two guys off the left or the two guys to the right"? Behavna does not have time to answer because Ballari grabs ahold of her hand and they are teleported to the base of the tree. Ballari leans close to Behavna's ear and whispers, "Stay here, I know them.
