Chapter 4

Figureing Out The Picture

Lilly and Nate were still picking up the pictures that lilly had dropped. Nate had relized that one of the pictures was holding was of NEKOS castle. Nate asked were she had seen this at. lilly said she has seen it alot in her dreams lately. Nate was aout to ask if he can keep it when lilly grabed her head and droped her papers. Nate asked what was wrong but lilly could not respond that the pain was to much for her to speak. Nate wanted to help her but he knew using magic in a public place would be really bad and it would make lilly question him. Nate took her to the office and took her home. The people at the office and the princable knew nate was shade and that he was the prince so he was aloud to take lilly home. When nate and lilly went to lillys home nate asked were she wanted to go(so she would not be wondering why he knew lillys home like the back of his hand) lilly pointed to a room which happned to be her room. Nate set lilly on her bed and asked if she wanted any thing. Lilly wanted someone to comfert her. She did not say that to nate. She said some water and nate went to go get it. When nate returned lilly was drawing something. Nate looked at what she was drawing. The picture was of a garden with read roses, white roses and white lillys. then she drew a couple of coloums and added a brown door. Then she put a bench. and then she was done then lilly fell asleep. Nate looked at the picture lilly drew. It seemed like a court yard. Nate had been in this court yard before but he could not remember when thought. Then all of a sudden lilly started to cry and scream no but to loud. Nate did not know what to do lilly woke up in tears. Nate asked what was wrong. Lilly had a nightmare abou the war and what happned. Lilly described it to nate. then nate thought that it was the time to tell lilly. "Lilly i have something to tell you, and show so please dont freak out on me please?" lilly looked at nate with a creious face and said "fine what is it that you want to show me?" Nate walked away from the bed and swirled around with his arms out. The boy turned into a boy with night black hair, pale skn, blue eyes, and a gental feature. The clothes he had been wearing had changed into black and dark blue. Then he stopped and said"I m not nate narall i am shade narall and i am your prince" i am here to watch over you and make sure that no harm comes to you and that you can return to our country which is NEKO. I am 2 years older than you, which would make me 17 and you 15. As edward said your mother has fallen ill and that she would like to see one time before she died. Lilly your mermories are comming back through diffrent ways like dreams and headaches. This means that you are ready to return to NEKO. Lilly was really confuised and did not know what to do. You also have powers, those powers are really rare but the rarer in magic the more powerful it is. That is the only thing bad about your magic. If you like i can train you here, so that you can feel more confortable. I have one queston though, were are your parents the ones that live with you here? Lilly replyed they are on vaction and i wanted to stay here to work on my studies. Ok do you think you could balance every thing you have to do? the thing is lilly did not know if she coud balance every thing that was thrown at her but said yes i can. what kind of person would i be if i could not do all of my homework, essays, reports, chories and dance lessons all in one day. MY DANCE LESSONS! My dance instor is going to have a fit! Calm down said shade can't you just tell her that you were sick and could not make it? The thing is i have not missed an day of practice and she quizes the people that miss days, i am good but not good enought to study for tests that i don't know. Oh yeah, we will work on that?said shade. Lilly looked at shade weirdly but did not know what he was talking about. what will we work on? asked lilly. you don't get it,as shade poked lillys forhead. Get what? i will tell you in the moring, it is getting late you should get to bed. Oh yeah i was wondering if i could sleep on the couch in here just in case. Sure said lilly tiredly and with that shade got a bllanket and sat on the couch and watched lilly. lilly looked at shade and asked if he wanted a pillow. he said no now go to sleep. the next morning lilly was running throught the woods hile shade was behide her. ''so today we are going to work on shape-shifting, picture an animal that you really love and try turning nto that animal.'' lilly thought really long and hard. lilly had choosen her amimal and was going to try shape-shifting into it. the animal lilly had choosen was a white wolf. NICE JOB LILLY! yelled shade. now i think you want to now how to change back. the little white shoke her head yes. well then you need to focus on what your human form used to be like. lilly changed back ino her old self. lilly thanked shade for helping her. lilly was ready to go home now, when lilly tied to stand she felt faint. llly started t lean downwards(falling), but to lillys suprise shade had cought said '' you must tired from running and shape-shifting back and forth. i will carrie you back to the house, als you can sleep while i am carring you.
