"What do you mean by 'help?'" Kid asked. I noticed that she was a bit taller then me (Yes I'm short, only 5'01" tall), and of course Serge was taller then me. I stayed near Mathew, it was strange because I knew them but I also knew that they DIDN'T know me.
"Well, I was brought here from another world, and I really want to get back to my world, do you know if that's even possible," I asked nicely. Mathew looked over at me and smiled, I returned the smile.
"Yes there is but if it was the one that brought you here and could take you back to your world then we better hurry and get to the Ancient Dragon Fort," Serge explained. I knew that he was talking about the Frozen Flame, and I knew that he was worried that Lynx was going to try to get it. Kid sighed, it was clear that she also knew exactly what I knew. She walked over to me and handed me a pair of daggers. Mathew then dragged me out of the house.
"I'm going to train her how to fight then we'll come back here," Mathew said. We walked out of the village and to the Lizard Rock. When we got there, Mathew unsheathed a sword. He suddenly attacked me without warning; I unsheathed my daggers and barely defended. "You need to keep on guard for surprise attacks like that, you never know when a monster might attack," Mathew explained.
"Well I would have defended better if you told me that we were training," I exclaimed. Mathew sighed, he was disappointed with me. I should have said nothing because I knew that he was only trying to help me learn to fight. "Ok, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, but I already know how to fight and I don't need to learn anything," I told him.
"Fine if you think you know everything about fighting then I challenge you to a fight just me and you, let's se who can get the other to submit first," Mathew said. I smiled; this would be hard because I didn't know how he fought but I didn't mind the challenge. I accepted his challenge, the fight then began. Little did we know that Serge and Kid had followed us and was watching our fight. The fight continued for about 30 minutes, neither of us wanted to give up, but our energy was nearly gone when we finally stopped. Neither of us could attack let alone move, we were collapsed beside each other trying to gather our strength for one last attack. After about a minute we staggered up and prepared to attack, we rushed towards each other but our strength was gone and we collapsed once again.
Kid and Serge walked over to us and helped us up, I tried to attack Mathew again, but Kid stopped me. "Stop, there's no need to try to win, it's a draw, you both are at the same level when it comes to fighting," Kid said. I could tell that Mathew was angry that we were evenly matched and to tell the truth, I was angry too. We slowly walked back to Arni Village so that we could regain our strength. They took us to a hotel like place and got us a room. I fell asleep, I'm not sure when Mathew fell asleep, but I don't think it was too late when he did fall asleep,
When I awoke I could hear Mathew Serge and Kid talking, Serge was saying "… And her power is unique, she came from another world, yet she knows how to fight, and she can fight well." The other two agreed with him. I didn't move so I didn't know where they were standing, but I could tell that they were close to me.
"I probed her mind and found no history of training, at all, someone like her knowing how to fight that good is very, very rare and strange. Maybe for some strange reason she is somehow connected with Lynx," I heard Mathew suggest. I thought about it for a while, me being somehow connected with Lynx. I did have to admit that since I was there I could feel myself change a bit. I decided to stop thinking for a moment and finished listening to then talking.
"I don't know about you two but I can tell that she's changing, into a feline demihuman, I'm not sure if that is going to be good or bad for us in the future but it could either be and we better inform her about it, so who's going to wake her up," Kid asked. A moment later I could hear Mathew call my name, to wake me. For some strange reason I quickly woke up and lunged for Mathew's throat. I successfully caught him and began to strangle him. It took both Serge and Kid to pry me off him even when they did get me off him I continued to go after him. Serge had to hold on to me.
After a moment I calmed down, but I endlessly eyed Mathew, growling at him whenever he got to close to me. "I need you to calm down, there's something that I need to tell you, you're turning into a feline demihuman. I know that may be a little shock but trust me you'll be fine, just don't attack me again," Mathew said. I suddenly broke free of Serge's grasp and ran into Mathew's arms. He embraced me and I cold feel myself crying, the tears were landing on his shirt. I didn't care if Kid and Serge was watching, though it would have been nice to be alone.
I then heard them leave the building; they must have got the hint that we wanted to be alone. I looked up at Mathew, tears still in my eyes, he wiped them away "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to attack you, please forgive me…" I began to say. Mathew hushed me, he then kissed me. Something was different about him something I didn't see before. We kissed for a little while before we stopped; I placed my head against his chest, I could feel his heart beat.
"There's something else I must tell you, I'm not human like you think I am, I'm actually a feline demihuman. When I found you I could tell that you were going to be just like me, a person brought here that turns into a demihuman," Mathew explained. I was stunned, he had the same fate that I did, but the strange thing was that he looked human. He must have been able to read my mind (ah no kidding he did it earlier use your brain for once, stupid) because he then transformed into his feline demihuman form. He has long pure white fur covering his body and jet black colored eyes. It was at that instant that I felt waves of pain flooded my body. I collapsed onto the floor and screamed in pain.
Serge and Kid ran into the room, I was shuddering and whimpering in pain; Mathew was right beside me holding me close to him. They were shocked to see that Mathew was a demihuman, but they were even more shocked when they saw me stand up. I have long black colored fur and eyes that matched my fur color. "Mathew you never told us that you were a demihuman," Kid said. Both Mathew and me smiled and then walked out of the building, neither of us looking back
