It just wasn't possible. Alright, it was obviously possible seeing as how they're standing right in front of me. The person my father and grandfather told me about. Royal Pain. Yeah, not the best name. But that's not important right now. Nor is the fact that I feel really uncomfortable in this position on the floor, plus I'm not sure I remembered to turn the t.v off before I left. Again, not the issue. I get the feeling she's smiling at me. Although, I can't be sure seeing as how she's wearing a mask.
"It should be pretty clear what you're doing here." Royal Pain turned my chair right side up again. "I need some bait. Plus, what better revenge on my enemies than killing you."
Not even a millisecond before she could carry out her threat something sang as it whizzed through the air and pinned Royal Pain to the opposite wall. A knife? I feel more than just relief. I'm truly happy now that Tye's here. He was about to help me when Royal Pain got free and leveled some sort of blaster thing at us.
"Did you really think I'd be defeated so easily?" Royal Pain laughed maniacly
Tye's expression didn't change one bit.
"First, I don't care about you, I just want to get Bella home. Second, to accomplish that I've brought someone else with me."
Someone else? Wait, I'm starting to feel kind of weird. Royal Pain is slumping and lowering her blaster.
"Suddenly killing you doesn't seem like it would be any fun."
Oh, I know that power.
Tye didn't waste any time cutting me free. I could tell Royal Pain would wake up to what was happening soon enough and my stupid legs had fallen asleep. But that turned out not to be a problem. Tye grabbed my wrist before I'd finished standing up and practically dragged me along as he ran. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the same guy who'd sold me the kitten had joined us. I knew it. Surprisingly enough we got away. I thanked the kitten guy (Cobe, it turned out his name was) for helping us and he went off his own way.
"Do you want to learn my style?"
Tye asked out of the blue, shocking me.
"W-what?" I had always thought his form of martial arts were a secret.
When I brought that up he told me,
"I'm willing to teach it to you."
Since he's willing...
"Are you kidding? That'd be so cool!"
It really is. I'm finding it hard to contain my excitement. And I know why Tye offered. He wants to make sure I can defend myself in case something like this happens again. Good. I hate playing the damsel in distress.
"We'll begin tomorrow." I decided
"You should probably make sure you're completely healed first."
I wanted to object, but I trust Tye's judgment.
