Secrets In The Shadows (8)

Talon dropped the book and clutched her head.

"Why does all this sound so….so familiar" she said to herself

"No…..I have a job to do. Sanguinex is waiting for my return with the information he asked to me to get." She said, shaking of the pain in her head.

As she picked the journal back up there was a knock on her door.

"Talon, we are beginning the festivities, if you would like to come down now" came the voice of Robert.

"Yes, I am coming." She replied.

On her way to the garden she snuck back to his room and placed the journal right back where she had gotten it.

"I am sorry to have kept you all waiting" she said bowing slightly.

"Good you've made it" Robert replied walking up to her.

"Allow me to introduce you to Talon Walters" He said

"Bonjour mon amie, my name is Oliver" said a green haired boy.

"Hey there, I'm Enrique" said a blond Italian looking male.

"The names Johnny, nice to meet ya" said a red head boy.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all" replied Talon in kind.

As the evening went on Talon could help but feel comfortable in all of their presence.

"So Talon where you from exactly" asked Enrique, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Im from a little town just outside the main city." She replied not exactly liking the way he was looking at her and flirting.

"Enrique, you making her uncomfortable with your hopeless and uncouth flirting" came a cold and assertive voice.

"R…Robert. Hehehe I was just joking with her, honest." Enrique replied backing away and going back to the other conversations.

"Robert….thank you" Talon replied. He smiled as a reply.

~Flashback~

"I suggest you leave the lady alone. How uncouth to try and push yourself into her attention when she obviously has no interest." said slightly younger Robert.

~End Flashback~

Talon's eyes grew wide and she clutched her head in pain.

"AAAAHHHH" screamed Talon

"Talon" shouted all four boys running to her.

The last thing she saw before she passed out was Robert getting to her first followed by Johnny and both boys catching her before she hit the ground to hard.
