Chapter 4 yay this is gonna be good :) thanks so much to people who reviewed it's really nice of you :)

Nisroc's scream tore through them all echoed with Kalona's and Dallas's, knowing he had missed his mark he unkindly pulled out the knife and took a swipe at Rephaim but he never got the chance, Kalona attacked sword raised, he knocked the knife out of Dallas's hand, head butted him with the handle of his sword, knocked his feet out from under him, stabbed the sword right into his heart letting go of the sword he caught Dallas's still falling form in a head lock and broke his neck, the dead form of Dallas was flung into the tree with the power of a truck hitting him full on, his broken body broken even more hitting the ground. No one looked at him though not for long, just as the anger had hit Kalona it disappeared turning to Nisroc, Rephaim rushed to his brother who had undoubtedly saved his life, he held his brother who was moaning in pain, Anthony and Stevie Rae dropped beside him and Kalona fell next to them.

"I owe you my life brother so don't die before I repay it"

"I don't want it" Nisroc spat out with a groan but a light in his eyes that made them know he was smiling.

"Earth come to me" Stevie Rae said the air was suddenly full of the smell of earth soil, trees and land.

"Strengthen Nisroc" she said and sure enough the earth obeyed and Nisroc felt a lot better someone else knelt beside Kalona.

"Fire come to me" a female voice said.

"Warm up Nisroc and chase away the cold" again the elements obeyed and the subtle chill that had been spreading was gone, replaced by a comfortable heat.

"Air come to me, blow away the stench around here and any evil that tries to hurt Nisroc" a male voice said this time sure enough a gentle breeze removed the smell of blood and doubt of his survival.

"Water come to me wash away the blood and clean the wound" two people held Nisroc's hands another held him down as the water did as the red fledgling asked Nisroc tried as best he could to not cry out in pain he was not very successful after water did as it was told Nisroc knew it was better to stop infection, even though it stung.

"Spirit come to me help Nisroc heal, it is the least we can do to thank him for saving our friends"

Nisroc opened his closed eyes, Rephaim held one of his hands the boy Anthony held the other, his father held him down, the special fledgling Zoey stood over him and he felt Spirit enter him though it was soothing and he could feel the wound hurting less and maybe even healing, Nisroc's energy was gone held up only by the power of Stevie Rae's element Nisroc looked up into the concerned eyes of Rephaim, his father, Anthony, Stevie Rae and their friends then he passed out.

Nisroc woke slowly he could tell people were around him, not his brothers but maybe his father he woke in stages, first taste and smell came to him, his beck was dry and he could smell vampires, a human, his father and something else…Rephaim? Next he could hear, only the sound of people moving could be heard, someone was pacing, a few adjusted their positions standing or sitting. Unfortunately that was when feeling returned Nisroc shot up with a cry his eyes opening, those who had been close fell back in shock of his sudden movement and cry but not his father, he shot forward as Nisroc clamped his beck shut to stop the sound as his back hurt like hell.

"Nisroc brother it's okay" Rephaim said holding his brother as he controlled the pain in his body.

"I know" Nisroc said softly suddenly something hugged him tightly feeling the Red Ones arms Nisroc forced himself not to cry in pain as she was stronger than she looked and he was hurt. The…Stevie Rae was sobbing.

"Thank you so much Nisroc for saving him, I have no idea what would'a happened if I lost him thank you, thank you!" she sobbed Nisroc gave his brother a clear sign with his eyes that she was hurting him and Rephaim pulled her off him.

"It'sss fine he isss my brother after all" Nisroc said unable to keep his voice normal from the pain he was in but she did not cringe she just smiled and hugged him again causing him to make a noise of pain this time both Rephaim and Kalona pulled her off him knowing he was in pain.

"Ooh sorry!" she cried understanding.

"It'ssss fine" he said again, it wasn't but he did not want her to get upset again for he could see it upset his brother as well, he could now sense the imprint he had with her, her pain was his as his was hers, they truly did love each other .

Kalona stood in front of Nisroc and Nisroc looked up to him.

"I'm so proud of you Nisroc for saving Rephaim…and the boy" he added waving a hand in the direction Anthony sat which was a chair at the end of the bed he was on Anthony smiled when their gaze met.

"Yeah that was really brave of ya I mean both times you could've been killed, you almost were! But ya did it anyway" Anthony said quickly Nisroc didn't answer he didn't think 'its fine' would work three times in a row so he just nodded.

No one said anything for a while until Kalona spoke again.

"Nisroc I meant what I said, you can do whatever you wish, all of your brothers can it's your lives and I've learned that freedom is important" Nisroc studied his father's face, he was being honest he truly wanted him and his brothers to make their own decisions but were there really any for abominations of nature?

"And where would we go? What would we do? We frighten all who ssssee ussss ,we are known assss monsterssss, we cannot even ssspeak properly, ssssome not at all!" Nisroc reminded him Kalona bowed his head so Nisroc continued,

"We have lived our entire livessss with someone there to direct usss if that isss ssssuddenly torn away they will have nowhere to go, no senssse of purposssse they will be lossst! We have only ever known one thing and that is dissstruction!"

"I know and I am to blame for that Nisroc" Kalona said not loudly like his son softly in a neutral voice but Nisroc heard real regret. Nisroc was so mad he couldn't speak his head snapped to his brother

"I thought you sssaid he choissssse light!" that snapped Kalona's patience Anthony gasped as Kalona moved so fast trapping his son against the wall of the room by his neck their faces inches from each other each glaring both pairs of eyes glowing with anger.

Hmm what's gonna happen next? I don't know but even I'm looking forward to it :)
