~o~O~o~

Over the next few weeks, I watch on as Becky gets all her things packed to move to Dunwich. As Homestake set her up with a rather nice 'condo' that I have seen in pictures. On one of those weeks Becky leaves me to go back to her own home, to get all her things from there packed and sent on. While she was gone I missed her presence, but at night we made up for its lack....in our shared link!

But I remember that 'condo'...that was a little bit of an issue with Mr. Twain! As I insisted that the 'condo' be owned by Becky fully and with no money owned on it. Then add, I had to be on the paperwork, as a 'owner' too! It took me hours to get the idea into him, that I can't make a place safe for me or her.....that I do not 'own' fully in some way?

As Becky's or my house has to be fully, ours or mine for my magic wards to protect it at all. By having a 'loan' That opened a door for attack via that paper of shared ownership.

In my own world, I was going over as much of the Class 'X' section as possible, I was working as fast as I could go safely. I wanted the worst sections to be labeled for the staff and the most harmful things locked away.....deep in the 'Black section' section of the mine. Sometimes my choices where argued by the staff, as my small notes on some items, left too little for them to base a decision on. But I instructed them, that indicating what was in certain books...would be a bad idea. In some cases, I just plain took the book and 'disappeared' it into my personal library, where I knew it would be safe!

In one such case, I was before a large broad of researchers going over such selections, a researcher argued with me "We need that book and its spells translated for use?"

"Not a good idea" I say to the group.

"But they are so...perfect!" he argues with me, rather boldly.

"Yes they are...and if you mess up? A black hole opens up and we all die? Is that a good idea?" I ask him.

"Well, we will be careful then?"

"What I just said was....worst case! The middle of.....road is, what lives there...comes here and feeds on you all. While I watch and giggle at all of it!" I say as best I can, in my still growing understanding of English.

The group looks at me in horror "That's right....I would!" I laugh out at them.

Then to emphasize my point, the book started a light growling that could be heard coming from within its case and then started to hop all over the table a little. It banged on the tables surface several times, desperately trying to get out "So, you guys really want to open that one?" I laugh again.

Thus ended that question for now!

Then the same bold man, he slides out a small file onto the table towards me "I request those books to be translated next?"

I look over the list and see what he is after....its all bad. The books he is after, will lead to making spellwork, that can be used in very evil ways for sure! There is no 'good' option at all, within that small selection of books.

I slide the file back to him "No" I say flatly "those are just as bad...one of them, I will not translate....at least till your race has grown up a little more...maybe in a one hundred years at least?...if not more!"

"WHAT!" he exclaims at me loudly.

I just shake my head to him.....'child...you have no idea what is in there...it will kill you and all near you' is all I think about.

"But you have to...its your job? We pay you for doing this!"

"If your paying me...is a way to compel me to do this. Then don't pay me and I will still say NO! AND I will still translate the other 'safe' books for you all...as knowledge should be shared?"

"You have to!" he demands.

"NO! I will not endanger others with that knowledge! When you can read those books without my help...then your really ready for what is in them?"

"But we need that information....now?"

"Okay then...I will go get that book for you and you can read it now?" I sigh. Then hope he does not go for the idea...I am trying to 'teach' them....but I just don't know?......can they be 'taught'?

"But that book and its un-translated words can kill me!"

"Yes...." I say coldly to him "AND the translated ones will too!"

"But I still make the request....as WHAT IS THIS CRAP!" The Homesteak researcher shouted, as he shook a file at me "You were supposed to translate the books for us!"

"Is there a problem with my English, as I write it?" I calmly ask him.

"You left out several key words!" he continued shouting "Like this..." He begin reading from one of the pages of the large file "Once you have acquired...........Mix it with the essence of.........................in the amounts of.........................." Throwing the papers down on the desk "What do you mix with what and in what amounts! Without that information the translations are useless!"

I just stare at him and shrug.

"And this one!" Picking up another page "Using the blood of an unmated Shrillerbeast........ What in the hell is a Shrillerbeast!"

"Um, shrillerbeasts.....are um shrillerbeasts, you don't have them on earth. They or their body parts would have been available at the time the book was written?"

"But what the hell is one?"

I sigh to him "They are kind of like dragons, but much, much, larger and not as intelligent? But all in all...good eats!" I lean back into my chair, thinking back to the last time I had one roasted......mmmmm good!

"KYLEY!" he shouts at me.

I lean forward in the chair to him "Please, no more of that... shouting....you are starting to disrespect me" I warn him.

The researcher is about to shout again and his team leader, a younger woman sitting at the tables head. She stops him and his rage at me, with a touch to his shoulder "John STOP! she is right, you are getting out of hand and more than disrespectful. She may appear to you, to be a child...a teenager. But we all have to remember, she is ancient and should be respected."

"Thanks for that. I know sometimes what I say...being a little....playful? I think you say it? But if you make learning....like...job and not fun? Then you stop learning?"

The young lady in charge then asks me "Kyley...we have a request for any and all of your translations, that deal with the elves or Sidhe...especially the military or royals? They seem to want...memoirs or personal interviews or documents?"

"That is really vague? But most of that...that I can find? Seems to be at ARC or at Whateley....then there seems to be a great bunch of it, within the Medawihla tribal papers. I hope to get access and go through those soon?"

"Humm I will get you that access....as this request of your time and effort comes from high up?"

"Okay? but can you ask? what they are looking for....it...help?" I ask her back.

She nods to me, then lady in charge of the groups gets up to say "I think we are done for the time being, lets adjourn this till later?"

After they all leave, I grab the case of that rather nasty book and then scold it, as I walk it back to the 'stacks'...."You where very bad....then. I am going to put you on a shelve between 'Elvin boat making' and "kitting for driders'. That should calm you down!" I laugh at it, as I slide between the two boring books and the book whimpers at me as I do.

Guest cottage area
My Living room
Homestake Paranormal Activities Research Center

As me and Becky where playing about in the living room of my house, while trying to watch a movie. I hear a soft knock on my door. I am about to go answer it, when Becky barks at me "Robe! no answering the door naked!"

I grab the one, that now hangs on a hook by the door just for this reason, then turn back to her and playfully stick my tongue out at her.

After I open the door, I find Madelyn. She was the lady from the cafeteria who is dying of cancer, that Becky 'made' me give her an offer....of saving her. I smile to her "Madelyn...please come on in?" I ask.

She nods to me and walks into my home, as she does I can see that her gate is
unsteady and pained.

After I notice that, I help her to the couch so she can sit. My eyes study her and find that her face is sunken and her eyes have lost the 'glow of life'
I ask her softly "Madelyn? What brings you to here today?"

She looks up to me and a smile crosses her face "I have made up my mind, I want what you offer?"

As I sit next to her, Becky gets up from the other chair and goes to the kitchen...via our link she tells me ~"I'll make some tea...I know she likes it"~

~"That is good...please."~

"So you thought it over? Did you want to ask me more on this? As this is....choice not made lightly? AND then, you have not said a word to me or asked....question since that day?"

She nods to me "I have been talking to Becky...it just made more sense, to talk to her?"

"Humm...that makes sense to me. As asking a fellow human about me, makes far more sense, than me trying hard to get you to understand what I am saying?"

Becky nods her agreement to me, as she comes in with three big mugs of tea for us. She gives one to her, then hands me my cup and sits on the armrest of my end of the couch.

"Madelyn has been asking me things about you for weeks...dear....and she has asked about...what you think about and treat others too?"

"That is great ....so you really want this?"

She nods to me "Yes....I want this. Also, I am not doing this to cheat death ....as I think like you and her do? That what comes next, is just a change ...but you have to try and make a mark here, where it counts! Becky has showed me allot about you and told me even more. Like her I want to be part of something greater and if that means having a chance at it....via having your children and doing as you bid...so be it!"

I sigh out "Lets us go over this agreement once again....You have to swear your Mind, Body and Soul to me. Then with that.... your sickness, I can cure it now...you will lose your freewill to me, I can ask you to do anything? As the balance requires, a 'trade' to keep all safe?

Then add part of the bargain on your side, is giving birth to at least Two of my kind. I will help you of course with the children....teaching them, showing them my ways."

She smiles to me "I always wanted kids!"

"Good...you do understand...you can still have your own too? Not just mine....if you want?" I laugh a little.

She nods to me again "I had hoped you would say that!"

"Humm....now I have to find you a guy!" I jest her.

Becky speaks up with a small giggle "That would be an easy one, after that suit Kora gave ya!"

Madelyn looks at Becky and questions her with her stare "What suit?"

Becky laughs at her confusion "Madelyn...we met someone and she gave Kyley a leather outfit....think Dom and hooker...mixed in a perfect blend! Then add magic and Kyley's perfect body!" she says in a husky tone.

"Ohh my! With that mix, you would never miss!"

I look at them both now more than embarrassed by it all, I am sure that, I am red faced by now! As they are giggling like mad at my pain.

I stand up as they go on laughing at me "Well lets get this done? Shall we?"

Madelyn tries to stand and I see that she is having real trouble. So I scoop her up in my arms, take her to my bed room and then lay her on my bed.

"So if your really sure and ready?"

"Yes I am" she nods to me.

I take out my Axe and remove its gem. Then get out of my storage a small knife.

I show her the large gems face and its carving "This is the symbol that will be placed on you. Becky has one too...its on her neck. Becky....show her please?"

Becky leans over to her, on her side of the bed and moves her hair to show it "See!.... Nice isn't it. It being here, its a little private and easily shown!"

"I like that, do the same on me."

"Okay...now you have to swear to me...and I mean Vantier...not Kyley as I told you. I swear to you Vantier, mind, body and soul all that I am. Is the words to use. Then, in your case a small cut and drip some blood on the Gem, I place it where you want me to, I then Swear to you and I heal you up."

I place a hand on her chest to see how bad off she is, as my sense go into her, I find she is really bad! She had only days left at best! "Madelyn?" I say as I do that "Healing you fully, may take me a day. As your so badly hurt. So I will have to rest during it and be close to you....so you can stay the night or better?"

Madelyn nods to me "I can...I told everyone I would be off a few days."

"Good lets start...then."

I have her cut her hand a little with the blade and drip her blood onto the stone, then she swears to me "I swear to you Vantier, mind, body and soul, all that I am....forever."

As I place the gem onto her neck, I find her souls center and pull it to that place "I swear to you Madelyn, I will protect you, as I would one of my own...forever" then the gem 'burns' its mark and we are done.

Now I feel that 'limit' to my powers...that kept me from healing her months ago. Its all gone!

Becky pulls me aside "Why was our joining different?" she asks me.

"Because Becky....your my love. Madelyn...here, is a sworn member of my kind now...in its own way?"

I walk back to my bed and Madelyn. "Now lets get that body of yours all healed up shall we?"

I place my hands on her and just dump my life force into her. My powers of healing, seek out the places to heal her wrecked body. After a half an hour has gone by, my eyes roll back in my head and I faint to the floor...with a large thud. Becky tries hard to stop that fall, but she is not fast enough....or strong enough to.

After I hit the floor with a thud, Becky is at my side cradling my head and she can see that I am not breathing or moving. That really worries her...badly. I finally come back from the 'blackness' that took me for a second and connect to her via our link.

~"Becky....I am fine. My body, I just over taxed it and it has to rest. It is best you leave the room, so I don't make you weak...via my seeking energy to feed on?"~

~"But Madelyn is in the room?"~

~"Yes, she is. But I am linked with her now and healing her. So, I can not feed on what I am trying to fix...now can I?"~ I giggle out mentally at her confusion.

Becky does as I ask and walks back to the living room to wait. during her wait she falls asleep and I 'feel' that from her. So I seek her out and pull her to where I am at with Madelyn.

Becky finds herself, walking down the hallways of my castle and she has been here many a time. Both with me, in our 'sessions' or dreaming like she thinks she is doing now.

She turns down one long hallway toward the royal living chambers, then goes into what she knows is a study chamber off the main rooms and finds me standing there. What I am doing is offering Madelyn a book to read on my races history for her to go over, so that she knows what to expect from me and the kids someday. I then sit her at a table to read it.

As I see her come in, I grin from ear to ear "Becky! You finally got here!"

"Ahhh ya? But I am dreaming all this?"

"No dear, you are not. I pulled you to here to make Madelyn...more comfortable while I heal her and go over some things with her...here and only here, this can be done."

Becky's face looks very mad at me "I thought 'this' was OUR place?"

I stare at the floor "It is...I had to bring her here and get this done, its just better here and faster?"

"Hummm I don't know?"

"This is still ours. The only one's that will ever pass through the next set of doors...are you...any other close 'loves' I have from here on out and family! All the rest...like Madelyn can't get in. But remember, she is going to have my children. So she has to be allot closer to us...than say a regular 'sworn' one?"

"Okay...Kyley. I understand now" with that said, she finally comes over and gives me that loving hug I wanted.

After we are done, I turn back to Madelyn who is still sitting at the table "Ahh guys? What in the heck was that you both where saying? I did not understand a thing you both said?"

"Really?" Becky says out very confused.

"Yes..." I say "she does not know what we said my love. As she does not know Hawklord."

"I am speaking it now?" she asks even more confused.

"Yes...why wouldn't you speak that at home?" I laugh.

"Guys! I still don't understand you....but I hear my name!" Madelyn speaks up to us.

I laugh at her a little "Whoops my goof! Let me fix that!" I touch her head and give her the knowledge to speak in my native tongue Hawklord.

A scowl covers Becky's face as she speaks out "Hey I thought that using that old language was between us two?!"

"Becky?...she has to know it? She will someday have my children and they WILL speak it! And learning it via, being around her all day long is best?"

"Ohh I understand now?" she says more than sheepishly.

Madelyn looks at us both in turn and asks "I am speaking that.....right now? I can't even tell?"

I laugh at her a little "Yes you are! And if you think on it for a second, you can see it in your mind?"

She stops from asking her next question and I can see her thinking on that question of mine. Then that dawning of discovery covers her face "HEY! I am speaking in that...cool!"

"Yes you are! And very good too I may add? Far better than my english is?"

Then suddenly Madelyn looks down at herself and leaps out of her chair! "Hey
I am naked!" then her head spins at us both, in her surprise and confusion "So are you two!"

Becky starts laughing at her, as I join in and I say to her more than shocked look "You just noticed? You have been that way since we started here?"

"I HAVE?!"

"Yes" I nod to her "you have."

"HEY that's not nice!"

"Here its normal...and here that is what the family and its sworn members practice...THAT! will not change!" I get a little more than demanding at the end. As I want my children to follow the 'older' ways!

"Okay? I can understand you wanting to keep things as they where. But if I have your children? Should I expect them to run around the house naked all day?" she laughs.

"Yes" I say....then wait a second for that to sink in. Then her face changes to one of shock at the thought and I add as I giggle "No not really....unless they really want too?" I grin.

She grins back her understanding, then adds "Hey I just noticed...Becky you have wings like Kyley does?"

I nod to her "Of course she does...I see her in this way and so does she. SO the wings are there?"

"So when do I get a set?" she asks playfully.

"You don't. None of the sworn members get them...at least till they crossover to being family or other ways?"

"But? I am going to..."

"I said NO. I have my reasons" I say a little more than sternly to her, in hopes it ends for now.

"Yes my Lady...." she says with a lower tone of voice. That says to most, she is sorry.

"Please go back to your reading, so that when we both wake, your at least at the basics of what you need to know?"

Becky interrupts my words to Madelyn with a thought ~"Why no wings for her? And then, why did she say 'my lady' to you?"~

"Madelyn please stay here and read. Becky and I are going into another room to talk...please stay here. This maybe in your mind...this place, but its linked with mine and some places in here can kill you....do you understand?"

"Yes I do, I will stay and read" she then smiles, goes back to reading and turning pages in that large book.

With a thought, the wall in this study room off the reception chamber opens to the personal royal chambers beyond and I lead Becky into the new door.

Once we are both in, I wave the door shut with a pass of my hand and go to hold Becky close to me. As I hold her I explain "Madelyn is a sworn member of my family or clan if you like. So she is still human and bidden to me for her life and beyond for the act of saving her from death."

As I let go of her to pace off a little, like I tend to do when I think. Becky asks "I still don't understand it all?"

"She might get her wings and join with the family in some way? What way, I have no idea at this time...as when I got here, I was given new limits and have to figure out new ways to do something's.....that used to be ohhh so simple to me?"

"So what does that mean to us?"

"You...feel it don't you?"

Her questioning look tears at me a little....maybe she does not see it?

"We...you an I are joined at the soul forever. That is why you can hear my near every thought. Then add that link...even thou we had not fully joined yet.." I start to tear up at the thoughts "it protected you from being hurt, when...I....I looked at you when my ...darkness was out" I stutter out , then finally growl "When that MAN hurt you!"

"Hey its okay" she hugs me close "It happened, Night...she saved me."

"But I should not have let it happen...I let my guard down. I got 'comfortable' and I should not have."

"It happened and its the past let it go?"

"I will do as you ask...." I nod to her "I have to think of a way for you to become more like me.....so you don't become....smoke" I say, as I let her go and walk off a little.

"Smoke?" she asks me .....then it dawns on her "Oh! you mean like what you said to Twain that day on the test range 'we are all like 'smoke' to you...before you even know us, we are gone with the winds of time'.." she quotes me "Love that will not happen, I am part of you...now!"

"I want more...and so should you" is all I say.

Becky wants to walk over to me, to give comfort. But feels that the time is not right for it, as she feels a deep dread and torment from me. This she has not felt those feelings come off me....ever and it shakes her a little.

"I can feel what is bothering you?"

"Yes....I lost Gina my wife and you have filled that very empty spot. In time I might 'love' others? But none like I do you? I have....I JUST have to find this worlds way, for you to stay by my side. As being joined like we are, is not nearly enough....anymore?"

Becky leaps to me and hugs me again "You will figure it all out in time."

I whisper out "Yes time...."

Then I think 'time....if I have enough, to get established here...before a Dark One finds me and ends all this'

Guest cottage area
My Bedroom
Homestake Paranormal Activities Research Center

I stir on the floor next to my bed and find my body is covered by a blanket and a pillow is under my head. Becky must be up already and have done this for me.

As my tired body gets up to stand I find Madelyn still on the bed asleep. I take that time to look her over, via my healing sight and find she is almost fully healed. There is just some small things to do for her and she is all better.

I go out in to the living room and find Becky laying on the couch. She stirs at my opening of the door and looks at me as I fall into the chair.

"You look tired and haggard! You need to rest more" she says in a most worried voice.

"I am fine for now...just don't come too close. My body is hungry for energy and might look at you as breakfast" I laugh.

As I say that Madelyn comes into the room and goes to sit on the couch with Becky. As she sits, Becky chirps out to us "HEY you look great! It looks like Kyley fixed you all up!"

"I do feel great!"

"Well that's good to hear. But I am not all done with you? There are some small things that need fixing...but I lack the energy to do that right now" my more than exhausted voice says.

"So I can wait" she says to me.

"No...we are leaving on Sunday and I have to get this over with. So, I know this sounds evil...lets go over to the school, so I can say bye to the kids...like I said I would. Then I can feed off all the energy, that those little bundles of playful joy leave in their wake?"

"Sounds like fun! The kids just love it when your about" says Becky.

K-12 school and daycare center for the complex
Homestake Paranormal Activities Research Center

After an hour of getting ready and a slow walk over to here, we walk into the gates of the complexes school and I see that it must be play time for the younger ones just starting now.

As we walk into the play area, the kids note my coming in and the ones that know me, run over to me. Mark is the first to get to me followed by both is his sisters.

"Hey you here Kyley! Lets fly?" he asks me.

All three of them are bouncing around, me as I go to sit down on the bench on the play yard edge. Sally the youngest one...notes how tired I look with puzzlement "What's wrong Kyley...you look sick?"

"No young one I am not sick...I am just tired is all. I just finished helping my friend Madelyn here, heal. So that left me....little drained is all? Now...please go play and my watching you will help me?"

After they hear that, off they all tear back to the playground and now most of the other kids have joined in. Becky walks off as I rest up and comes back with hot tea for the three of us to sip at while I sit.

Becky watches the kids play as she sits next to me and Madelyn asks me qa question "So did you or will your kids play like this?"

I laugh I hope mine will play like this....as its normal here. But in my time as a kid growing up, we all played a form of tag flying amongst the tallest parts of the castle. Or when I got a little older and a lot bolder. I played a form of 'chicken' you call it? We jumped off the top of the tower and the last one who flew up from the fall...won?"

"God your nuts!" she yelps at me.

"No, not really it gave you a feeling of your limits. Besides I may have been hurt more than once" I grin "but the bones I broke healed rather quickly!"

As I sit and sip that tea I find that all those kids at play and the energy they give off, is charging me up well. So I take Madelyn's hand again and finish healing her as we sit.

A shrill whistle from a teacher, tells the kids that play time is near over and with that. The three I know run over to me. Sally is the first there "Kyley, we have to go back in....so you feel better now?"

I nod back to the little girl "Yes I do all your play helped me out."

Mary interrupts her sister "So when are you coming out next?"

"Well little ones, I am off to my own school this weekend. So I will have to see you all on maybe the holidays?"

"Thanksgiving is what I have planed for us to be back" Becky tells them...and me! She never tells me 'my' plans!

The three of them look crestfallen at me, all I can say is "Hey I am young too? I have to go to a special school where others like me are at?"

"Well then, we will see you in a few months then?" a new whistle sounds "we have to go!" and he runs off

Both Sally and Mary give me a hug and they are off like shots. To keep up with their bother and the rest of the class. I wave at them as they fade with the group into the door.

Madelyn glances at me "So what do you want me to do while your gone? Or do I come with you?"

"No please stay here, as you have a job here and then you can watch over what Twain does for me? As I don't trust him or who is behind him much?"

"Should I get a better job?"

"I don't know? do you want one or need it? As I have now idea, what your needs are at this time?"

"No the cafeteria job is fine and it lets me overhear far more than I should!" she giggles "then I can study for a better job this year?"

"That sounds like a plan to me."

"But! what or when did you want those kids...from me?"

"That is a good question? I might not be ready for years for that to happen, as I have to be ready for them and help you during and after the births?"

"Okay...so I will keep up with what I am doing and wait?"

"Yes that is best and do not tell them what or who healed you. Then never let it out your sworn to me...as that might endanger you?"

"I can do that? So there is my plan for the time being? And how do I call you if I need to?"

~"Like this!"~ I say to her mentally

That shocks her a bit and then she tries it ~"......this....ke this?"~

~"Keep trying?"~

~"This better? Ohhh I got it now!"~

Becky overhears her and laughs at her a little.

~"Now Becky...she does not have that little 'boost' I gave you. So she did well for a first time try?"~

~"Is there a range on this?"~

~"None I have ever found?"~

"Good" she finally says

"But lets be off, as I am sure that I and Becky have packing to do in huge amounts by Sunday morning. So if you need anything...you need only to think on it and I will get back to you."

She nods to me, as we all stand and since her place is off elsewhere on the complex grounds, she walks off to her home and us ours.

Sunday August 26 2007 8:10 am
Guest cottage area
My Living room
Homestake Paranormal Activities Research Center

I walk around my living room past all of our packed bags. My larger luggage has been sent on to Whateley and I have here only what I need for a few days trip to the school. At first, I was to fly out later this week, but Becky suggested a 'road trip' via a car. So that I can see New York on the way, as she promised me!

I am just closing up zipper on the last bag, when a guard and his cart shows up. He walks in my house and starts taking all the bags off to the cart for me. I run off to get Becky going faster, as its time to go and she is late for her own plans today!

We finally get going, after all the bags get packed in the car. Once I am in the car, I find its the same one we took last time to the rally and shopped. Becky drives us out of Homestake, we drive past Sturgis and Becky opens the car up on the highway and we are flying...or at least as close as a car can! I find most of the trip, is me looking out the window at the countryside flying by and talking to Becky about what classes to take.

After several hours, we stop in Des Moines for some lunch. I suggest a overnight rest there, but Becky wants to push onto Chicago by dark. So at her call...we are off again. But as we get a hundred miles or so along, I feel her getting tired via the link. I clasp her hand, while it sits on the arm rest and send some energy into her. I then see her really perk up when it hits her, she turns to me and says "Thanks Kyley I really needed that! I almost forgot that feels so good when you do that!"

By night fall. We finally get into the edges of Chicago.

As we do. I ask Becky, as I pull in all that life force just wafting off the city "How many people live here Becky?"

"Ohh about two million or so, why?" she asks me.

"I can just feel the energy coming off them! Gods it feels so good!" I near moan, from the flow of all the lifeforce.

"It must! I can nearly see 'it' on you?"

"MMM" I moan again, in near orgasmic bliss.

Becky quickly finds the hotel that has been chosen for us. After a bit of fuss we get settled in the room. Once in the room, I look out the window with amazement at the city below and beyond. Also from this window, I can see the river and boats far below us.

As I look down at the street far below, with the cars and people running about "What floor is this? I ask Becky

"We are on floor twenty three..."

"Real nice view from here, I wonder if they would let me jump off this?"

"No." she says flatly "I am sure, that there is a law for that! And they would put you in jail?"

"Really? for flying? That's just not good!"

"Well not everyone is built like you?" she giggles at me.

"Are we going out to see the town?" I ask, as I walk to the bed and fall on it backwards with a plop.

"No I want to save that time for New York!"

"Fine by me!"

So Becky orders dinner from room service and she eats her fill. I just sit and watch the view, while taking little nibbles of what's there. Then we go to bed just enjoying the time together. As soon, we will be apart for most times, as I go to school.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Monday August 27 2007 5:50 am
Chicago area hotel

On the next morning. Becky awakes to the alarm clocks beeping. To find that during the night sometime, I had wrapped my wings around us both to snuggle us better.

As Becky says, while nuzzling my ear "Hey you" she then nudges me "time to get up! I hate to leave this warm, soft set of wings. But we have to get going!"

I unwrap us both and sit-up to look over her "I love how you look in the morning!" I say out with a promising leer "But why so early?" I ask her, finally getting up out of the bed and whipping the curtains open to see the sun just rising.

"I wanted to press on to New York and have some fun there!"

"Okay...so lets get started!" I yelp out, as I go and grab her off the bed. To carry her to the shower, then drop her on her feet in the shower. "You get washed up and I'll pack!"

She pouts at me "Your not coming in with me?"

"If I do, we will be in there till lunch and you know it!" I scold her.

A few hours later, we are leaving the Chicago area and driving along at a great rate of speed. At noontime, we stop just outside of Cleveland to eat.

I ask Becky as we eat "Why did you not drive into town? I don't understand it? Wouldn't the food be far better in Cleveland?"

"Kyley...if you can ever help it ...you never go to Cleveland!....You just don't!"

I sit there eating my small meal, thinking about why?

Several hours later, we drive into New York state, after about an hour into the state and we as are flying down the highway, I see a set of red and blue lights just behind us. Then the wail of a siren, that comes from the large car just behind us. As it happens, I feel Becky get real tense.

"SHIT!" Becky barks out.

"WHAT!?" I shriek out.

"I am getting pulled over!"

"What is 'pulled over?" I ask her not even having a clue what it is.

"I was speeding...or going to fast for the laws. So a cop saw me, he is going to pull me over and give me a ticket!"

"A ticket?" I say out slowly.

"Yes a ticket...a fine!"

Now I can feel her anger and near rage.

"I can help?"

"No, you just sit there. Please be quiet and I will handle it." she says rather coldly to me.

I watch her, as she pulls the car over to the side of the highway and stops. The police car stops just behind us. I note that Becky tries not to move.

~"Why are you not moving?"~ I ask via the link.

~"Because cops are always nervous about who they are pulling over, they maybe a bad person and moving too much may get you shot?"~

~"He shoots you...He dies!"~

Becky turns her head to look at me. As my anger flowed for a barest second there.

The police office gets to the window and knocks gently. That sudden sound makes Becky near jump, as she was starring at me all the time. Becky rolls down the window at his motion to do so.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?"

"No officer I have no idea?" Becky says pleasantly with a 'little 'honey' on the words.

"Well the reason is, you where WAY over the limit and its almost close enough to jail you in this state for it." He says coldly, trying to influence Becky with the words and I feel the meaning behind them all come from him 'be afraid of me and do what 'I' want you to!'

"Really I had no idea I was going that fast?"

"You were, I need your ID, insurance and registration?"

I watch as Becky gathers her paperwork and as she leans over to the glove box and me. I watch as the man leers at Becky's butt and lust drips off him as he does. Now I am mad, But I shield Becky from it.

As Becky sits back up, I watch as the officer look her over and even more lust comes off him. Now I am done with his act.

I lean down to look at the officer, as Becky gets her paperwork all together in her hands "Hi Officer!" is say.

He leans down a little, to get a better look at me. "Ahh hi there little Miss...miss...mis..is." he says, as his face goes emotionless.

And I have him! I toss my full glamour in his face and pull him into my eyes!

"Officer can you help me and my friend?"

"Sure...sure?"

"How about you let my friend here go? And we get on with our trip?"

"Ahhh..."

Becky turns to me and says more than angry "STOP! THAT! RIGHT NOW KYLEY!"

"No, Becky...he was leering at you. And I just know this 'law' is a bad one as, you broke it and I have seen for miles near no one 'pulled over'..?"

"Officer?"

"Yesssss"

"This law your pulling my friend over for, is it a good one? or what?"

"Its to slow traffic down a little" He near drones out "And it makes money for the state."

"See! its a tax, as I thought" I say in defense of myself.

"Kyley this...this is just wrong."

"Fine then! Get a ticket and pay that TAX!" I sit in a huff and cross my arms.

The officer just stands there. Deep in my glamour, waiting.

"Kyley just let him go and we can get going?" she asks me.

"Fine I can do that"

I look toward the officers eyes again "You can help me out by letting my friend here go and then getting us on our way safely ...okay?"

He tones out rather slowly "Okay...Miss...wait till I am in my unit ....and then pull off and I will clear you a lane." Then he walks off.

I watch as he goes back to his car, the lights flash and Becky floors it. The officer gets behind us and clears the lane and we are off. In a few minutes he fades behind us.

Becky actually starts laughing at the whole thing...then scolds me "NEVER do that again! Its a bad thing and if the MCO finds out, they will jail you for it!...He...back there will he...remember?"

"No he will think it was all his idea...and Gods he was easy! SUCH a weak mind he had!" I giggle out.

Becky starts laughing at some random thoughts. "What? I finally ask her?

"You just did the 'Jedi mind trick!' ohhh God that was funny!" she keeps on laughing for several minutes more.

"Becky?...Jedi mind trick? What?"

"Its in a movie. I will get you a copy to watch...Okay?" she asks me and I nod back.

We travel on for several more hours and now I can see the city starts to 'grow' outside my window as we go. I watch as the building get taller, then more and more dense. We finally go over a large bridge onto the island itself and the flow of energy hits me like a wave.

"Becky! ohh...the people here...so many! I can feel it all!" I gasp out

As I take it all in, I have to lay back a little to get myself used to the increased flow of it all. The life force, the emotions flowing around me. I have to put up my best shield to all the emotions about me. I watch the sights go by the window and my gaze never leaves any of it. The hotel, I see Becky drive up to, has a sign on it 'Trump' in large letters.

"Hey Becky? If I remember right, is not this building named after a person who funds the school I am going to?"

"Yes its one and the same person. That's why we can afford to stay here, as he gives massive discounts to the students." she says as we park.

As the we check in, I overhear Becky make a dinner reservation for the restaurant at this hotel. Then I watch over our bags, as they are taken up to our room. As one of the men who does this...starts to take the stack up to our room, I snatch my computer case off the pile. 'can't let that get out of sight! too many nasty things on that hard drive! All from the Class 'X' library!'

After we get all settled into the room. I plop onto the bed and kick off my shoes. "So any plans for tonight?" I ask out.

"You know and heard what I have planed! So rest a little and then get ready?"

"Rest? Are you kidding! With the flow of energy around us, I could run around the town for a year and not get tired!"

Becky looks at me very puzzled "Kyley?" she asks with a voice that suddenly turned very serious "What happens to you, if there is no one around?"

~"If I am in a fight and out of energy? And I need to heal or fight on? I either...die or hibernate, till I find more energy. Or if I am not fighting. I can go on for years with no one around me."~ I say via our link.

~"That's good for me to know. I was not sure?....I hope you don't have to fight anymore?"~

~"So do I. But remember. Its has been my life. So it comes after me sometimes."~

I get up and walk past her, as a walk by I give her a light kiss on the cheek and then open the fridge to grab a soda.

I can see and feel that she is pondering my answers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday August 27 2007 9:20 pm
New York City
Trump International hotel

We both walk out of the elevator to the restaurant. I am dressed in that very fine and revealing dress that Cecelia made for me and Becky walks with me arm in arm. She then whispers in my ear, as we get to the line "This is one of the best in the town."

Our turn in line comes shortly up and the Maitra-D asks Becky her name. He finds it quickly and starts to take us both into the resturant.

As we pass a mirror he stops us "Miss?" he asks while looking at me in the dim light "Can you please make your eyes glow a little less? I and the staff do not care, but some of your other dinners are.....assholes?"

Becky looks at my eyes in the dim light "Kyley? he's right your eyes...They are glowing...blue in this near darkness."

I look at my refection in the vast mirror and I can see that now "SHOOT! it must be all the energy of this place!" I squint and think hard on that for a few seconds. I blink my eyes open and see its gone!

Becky looks at me "Yep its all good!"

"Thank you...Miss. And sorry for the language, as they do make me mad at times...the way they treat our kind!" he says softly, as he leads us off to our table.

I notice that he leads us to a very nice table at a window. "Here you go ladies and do call on me for any 'issues'...as I can and will help our 'own'." and he walks off.

My gaze is held by the nice view of the city, out the window as our waiter shows up. I let Becky order for us both, as I have no idea what is good? "I will have the squab and if you can please bring my friend a plate with just little samples of near everything on it? As she has no idea what she likes?"

"Yes ma'am, I can do" he says as he takes the menus from her hand.

A little later on that night, I am enjoying the nice plate of little 'nibbles' that they brought out for me. I find near all of it, some of the best food I have eaten so far! I start to cut up a piece of meat, take a small bite and I see Becky wince a little.

"What?" I ask after I swallow it.

"You do know what that was?"

I shake my head, as I get another bite set.

"Its frog legs? yeech" she cringes again.

"So?..." I say as I take that next bite.

"Its....just...ick!" she shivers.

"Becky?....think about what I have eaten in my life? This is good in my opinion."

I watch as she thinks about that idea 'what has she eaten!' then she shivers yet again "I do not! want to even know!" she says and that starts me laughing.

After I laugh at her "Have you ever tried it?" I ask, as I put a small bite of on a fork, lean over to her and offer her the fork.

"I don't know?"

"Its not going to kill you"

"Says the person who can't really die?" she chastises me.

She finally takes it and reluctantly takes that bite. I watch as her face changes to one of enjoyment "Humm this is good?" she smiles.

"See?"

As our dinner goes on, I overhear from the table next to us. A whispered statement "How could they let one of 'those' in here!" as I hear that, I feel nothing but loathing and boiling hate come from the table near us.

I whisper "Becky I think that table is up to something?"

"Humm?" comes from Becky, as she looks at me with a fork in her mouth and then she gets a slightly startled look "Kyley your eyes again!"

"Shoot!" I squint and concentrate hard on it this time 'no more slip-ups!' I mentally chastise myself.

I blink my eyes open and stare at her. She nods back to me "It worked...but please don't do that anymore?"

"I know....But there is just so much energy here....its hard to be here and not show it?"

As me and Becky deal with my little issue, I hear the Maitra-D come over to the table next to us and the older woman sitting there, stabs a pointing finger right at me "How did that "THING" get in here and dine with civilized people?"

"Ma'am I don't understand what is at issue? Your pointing at a fellow diner not a "thing" as you put it?"

"Well then how can you let a 'mutant' eat with normal folk then!"

"Humm ma'am I don't see a mutant? She looks normal to me?" he says to her rather calmly. Like he is used to dealing with...silly people at times?

"Her eyes where glowing just a minute ago!" she insists to him angrily.

"Ma'am they are not glowing now? Perhaps it was the light from the windows reflecting on her in a strange way?"

"NO! it was not! Her eyes where glowing! So either that "THING" leaves or we do?"

Sorry ma'am that you feel that way. But I will take the check for you and have a nice night...after you leave....now?"

"I never! I will tell my friends to never eat here!"

"Fine ma'am. The policy of this restaurant and hotel. Is zero prejudice and no discrimination at all. If an alien came in the door and had a way to pay for a meal. I would seat him or her or it?"

I watch, as he takes her plate and gives it to a waiter standing there "Have a nice night ladies and gents."

"Well...I want to talk to your boss!" she bellows out at him.

"Ma'am I am in charge of all the dining for the whole building. So my boss is Mr. Trump. I can give you his number if you like?"

The lady and her group get up from the table in a huff and walk out in silence. After they all go, the Maitra-D comes over to our table "I hope your dining is going fine? Even after I had to deal with the other guest?"

"Its all fine. I hope I did not cause any....trouble for you?" I ask him, just feeling as bad as can be.

"Never young lady, never. Have a good meal" and he walks off.

As we finish up the meal, Becky goes to the bathroom for a few minutes. During that time, I pull out one of my very few coins. 'I have to give him something for that...its only right?' I think to myself.

As she is gone, I get up and go over to him "Sir? I have to give you something for all that?" I say as I hand him the coin.

I watch as his eyes go blank and glaze over, as my coin hits his hand. His face then goes blank and emotion less for more than a minute. Then he comes back. As he drops the coin to the floor "Wow! never felt or saw that before?" he states to me.

"What happened? Tell me?"

He pulls me aside to an alcove in the hallway after, he picks up my coin and just as he starts speaking to me, Becky shows up "What's up? we are going?" Then she sees the coin in my hand and I feel anger at me flow out from her "Kyley what have I said about doing that!"

He glances at Becky "I was going to give it back. I don't need a tip, even one this big. But to answer your question Miss, I am a mutant too. But I already told you that. I said that to you because, I could see it when you got off the elevator...I feel...stuff off people...read them in a way. But when you came out of that door...its like you were a blank...a hole in the world...nothing there? I have never seen anything like that. Either you have great shields or your WAY different! and that coin of yours? Just showed me!" He then hands it back to me.

"Ahh I have good shields?" I say sheepishly.

"Please?" he says sarcastically "I can see 'things' off objects and what that coin showed me, was...your different...ancient beyond my words. What are you?"

"That's...complicated, to say the least. But, what I am is a kid on her way to school" I say trying to sound as innocent as I can.

"Sure....you are?" he sasses me "But what school then?.....Whateley maybe?" he asks.

I look at Becky for advice "Tell him" she says back, as she shrugs to me.

"Yes, its Whateley" I say a little wary.

"Good! I was class of 2000! My name is 'Link' as in I see links in people and objects. AND boy do I see a 'link' between you two! One like I have never seen?"

I look at Becky and she me. "Ohh really?" I say "We are just good friends?"

"Yep...good friends. So are you going to tell me what you are? or what?"

"No" I say flatly.

"Okay I can understand that. But I will show you mine, if you show me yours?"

"Hey, is that some sort of come on?" Becky barks at him.

"No..." He ponders for a moment "Your a mutant...but you have never been around any? Have you?" he asks Becky.

Becky shrugs "No... not really. Never really met any in my line of work or at school."

"What I said, is like a club greeting. Its asking for your MID and I show you mine. Its a way of being friends?"

I pull out the MID from my clutch bag and hand it to him. After I do, he fishes his out of his pocket and hands it to me.

As he looks at mine "Woof allot on that plate of yours! and its issued by DPA? Not MCO? that says a lot! No wonder!" he says to himself while reading.

I look his over "Exemplar three and physic...empathy four" Becky looks over my shoulder at it "That's a real good rating there?" she states to me.

He hands my card back to me "I bet that is not half of what you really do? or can do? or will grow into? is it?"

"Not saying, But thanks for the support tonight?" I say again to him.

He takes his card back, as I offer it "That's the job I was hired to do here. I keep things running smooth and help out with...negotiations, now and then. But that lady had no idea what she was messing with...you could have...is my bet, made her just disappear?"

"I understand what your saying....and that's just not my way. I never hurt others...if I can help it?"

"I hope so. But if your ever in trouble? Come to here. As we are set-up for anything bad here and the 'boss' helps his kids as best he can. You understand?"

"Yes I do and its nice to hear for a change...that there is some support." I bump into Becky "Time to go and lets see that big park!"

"Have a nice night ladies. And do call if you need anything?"

We start to walk out and Becky turns back suddenly "I think I forgot the check!" and runs back in. I stand there watching all the traffic go by outside the lobby doors, I am just entranced by all the motion of the city.

Becky goes back in and finds 'Link' "Hey we forgot the check?"

"No problem, its on me. But have a good night and he starts to turn away.

Becky stops him "What did you see?...in that coin? I know some of it, But I want to know more?"

"What I saw is...that she is old...ancient. Then lots of fighting and death...I MEAN LOTS! between creatures, I have never seen or want to think about! Then I saw her bowing down to a Gold dragon, the size of this building and I felt she was bidden to it? Then a large castle? Then I dropped the coin...Thank God! As if I saw more, I think it may have bent my mind" Link's voice says close to trembling.

"Thanks Link...Got to go...friend?" Becky asks with a nod.

"Yep...I will see ya?" he winks.

I watch the traffic, I am all but fixed by its draw. I then hear Becky running up to me. "Okay Kyley, all done."

She wraps around my arm up and we start walking out the doors towards the large park. We cross the street and walk into one of the many entrances. I just go with what way Becky wants to, as I have no idea what or where to go?

We walk for close to twenty minutes "You know that, we are not exactly dressed for walking too far" she jests me.

"But we look good!" I giggle out

"Yes we do!"

As she says that. Men, no near boys runs past her and snatches her purse from her arm. I am about to run after him 'yes in heels!'...But I feel that 'pop' of Night coming out. I see her dive from up high, to gain speed and rip off toward the boy with the purse at high speed.

~"I got HIM!"~ I hear her yell mentally at me, while a screech is heard by the world from her.

~"NO Killing, you know the rules!"~ 'I have to keep on that bird or she will run over me some day!'

I cringe, at the blow I see coming!

Night slams into the boys back, at I guess is near one hundred and fifty miles an hour. The blow sends him flying several feet, where his face just smashes into the concrete with a WHUMP! The poor boy did not even get his hands up to protect his face from the blow.

I hear from behind me, Becky shout out "Now, that had to hurt!...I saw it. Now that will teach ya!"

I walk slowly, to the still form of the boy and see he is still breathing...bleeding badly but breathing. I start to pick up Becky's bag and the other boy. The much faster of the two, comes back to his buddy "What was that!" he cries. As he looks at his fallen buddy.

"Looked like a hawk to me? Maybe it thought your friend was a rabbit? Or just did not like him. They can be very territorial birds at times."

"Heck with that GIRL...now give me the bag and that bracelet!"

"The bag you can have, if you go in peace. BUT! the bracelet is mine, as I can't take it off."

He rips the bag from my hands and pulls out a knife. "THE jewelry BITCH!"

"I said no...." then I hear a screech from above us "I think that bird is coming back and its still mad. You might want to leave?"

"F...That. I will kill that chicken!...for what it did!.....Bracelet!" He waves the knife at me again.

~"CHICKEN!...he called me A CHICKEN! I will get him for that!"~ Night yells at me.

~"No...just wait!"~ I warn her.

I hear a crunch of gravel in the darkness behind the boy. I shift my vision a little and see five large men, with guns creeping up on the boy. I note one uniform, it says 'Trump Security' on the tailored and rather fancy blazer.

"You might want to give up now? As the men behind you, are well armed."

"I am not falling for that...bitch!" he yells....Then a 'click' is heard from behind him.

"See, I told ya?" I sass him.

He looks over his shoulder, at the group of men with guns aimed at him and drops the knife. One man runs up to the boy and shoves him down hard to the ground. Then cuffs him.

"Please take it easy on him, he is young and stupid. We were all once?"

One of the men stands and hands Becky's bag back to her. She checks its contents and finds nothing missing or damaged.

I ask the man "Let me guess? Link...sent you?"

"Yes...we where assigned to keep an eye on you, while you enjoyed the park. I guess that was a good idea then?"

"It was...we will go back to the hotel now and tell your boss thanks yet again. AND guys try to keep safe."

"We will and these two will get charged. You don't have to stay around for the paperwork, as we all saw it and its recorded. Then my partner John, will escort you back to the hotel."

I nod "Lets go...been a fun night so far!"

As we walk off, Becky leans into me "He called Night a chicken! now that's funny"

Yes it is...the last one that did that. A rather small dwarf...she took him up to about twenty thousand feet and dropped him. He did not do well."

She looks at me shocked "He died?"

"No...but he was allot shorter after!" I laugh...I got her!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday August 28 2007 9:20 am
New York City
Trump International hotel

Both of us exit the hotel in a rush of excitement to go and see this vast city. While Becky gets us a cab. I stand a the curb, thinking of last nights fun and the closeness we both had then. My mind breaks from those thoughts when, she finally waves at me from her standing in a cabs door and I run over to hop in.

Over the next few hours, Becky at a wild pace shows me the sights of the city. We visit, Times Square, Radio city music hall, and the Empire State building.

I found Times square, very interesting with the great gathering of people and the vast displays of lights! The assembled wildness of the crowds that all ran about the area. The shops in that area were just too fun. The Empire state building? It left me kind of wanting. Sure its a nice looking building? But its just a tall building! I so wanted to jump off it? But Becky reminded me that....its against the law.

After we leave that tall building. Becky tells me the next thing to see is the Statue of Liberty, but we will make one stop on the way. She wants to see one thing. As she has not seen it yet, since it was leveled a few years back in some attack?

As the cab drives us down one of the large avenues. I keep looking out all the windows at the city running around us all in this cab. Then as the trips end, gets nearer. I get this growing sad feeling wash over me. This feeling is just saturated by enormous grief. Even the driver has it now, as we get closer to this place.

Becky finally sees my distress and I bet she feels it too. "Kyley what's up with you? A second ago your fine? Then...you got all sad and moody?"

"I don't know? I feel....sadness here is all?" I squeak out.

The cab finally stops at a construction site of a vary large building and as my door opens. A wave of sadness and grief just flows off the place and slams into me. I reinforce my shields to outside emotions, but I find the new bulwarks, I just placed are getting overwhelmed. As we walk nearer to this place.

Each step I take closer to the construction fence, I find harder to do. The sadness is overwhelming me. This growing grief I feel, from near everyone about me is driving deep into me. As I look around me, I shift my eyes to see the world a little differently and what I see shocks me, to the core of my being.

What I see in a slightly 'off' dimension from this one is....A ghostly pair of tall buildings. They are both standing in the hole before me, with thousands of dead spirits walking about us all...searching....wanting...crying. Their wails tear at my spirit and try to drag it off with them.

I stop walking toward the place Becky wants to go. Becky finally notices my abrupt stop and sees I am in trouble. She turns back to me, to be at my side and starts holding on to me.

As tears drip off my face, at the sight of the wailing dead "Becky what is this place?...is it a grave!? All I see, is the dead about us all. Great Elder Gods this place is a large scar on the city. A DEEP wound! All that flows from this place is sadness and grief. Please get me out of here! I can't take anymore of this?" I beg her.

Becky's face starts to have tears roll down it also, as she answers me "This place? It was where two buildings fell, during an attack a few years back. I had seen it before the attack...but I wanted to see it after?" When I notice the pain in her voice, I cut our link so that she does not suffer in my growing sadness.

Becky leads me back off to the street and 'hails' a cab for us. Within a few minutes, we both pile in and Becky tells the driver to go to Battery Park. I drop onto the seat and roll over and burry my face into the seats back. All I can do is cry silently for several minutes.

The cab runs toward our new goal and as we get farther away from that 'grave' I start to feel better. I lift my head up from its place on the seats back to glance at Becky "Sorry Becky...I just could not handle all that...that....emotion of that place. It was killing me...it bleed through my shields and....hurt."

"Its okay...I should have thought about your being so open to emotions and not gone there. But I wanted to see it?.......Kyley? Our link is gone? What happened to it?" she asks me with more than concern in her voice.

I sob a little "I had to cut you off....to save you from that pain and sadness. I have....problems right now with my ability to see and feel others. I feel far better than my shields can protect me. I used to be able to shut them all out....but this new me....just can't."

"Hey...its fine. You are still adjusting, growing into this new world. We will do that together." I look at her eyes and see the caring for me in them.

Becky snuggles up close to me, to give me support for the rest of the trip to this 'Battery Park' place.

The cab drops us off at Battery Park. Once out of the cab in a presence of people who 'feel' better, then add the park itself. I start feeling lots better myself. Becky guides my walk across the park to the shoreline, with little nudges and playful shoves of her's.

At the waters edge Becky points off into the distance to a enormous statue of a lady in a dress holding a torch. "The statue of Liberty! It was given to the US many years ago and represents the freedom here"

"Ohh I like that! Can we go out there and see it up close?" I ask in a pleading voice.

"I don't think we have the time, its getting dark and we have to pack to get you on that train tomorrow. Besides, it looks the same from here as there? AND if we miss it this time? It gives us a reason to come back to New York City and see it!" she beams at me.

I nod my approval to her "Yes coming back here sounds like a plan. We can plan on far more time and really explore this place more? Maybe even take a trip down the coast to Washington DC and I can see that city too?"

"I like your idea even more, so lets go get dinner at Carnegie Deli and spend the rest of the night back in the room and some of tomorrow morning?" she winks at me, then finally pulls me off to grab a cab.

Trump International hotel

Link just finishes up putting the last of his notes into the large E-mail for his boss. He makes sure to add the video footage from the body cams of his security team. That he sent to watch over Kyley Barron....on one of his hunches that, she just draws trouble to her. He makes detailed notes of his 'vision' he was subject to from her coin and how he even 'felt' during it. 'God how I want to forget that!' he thinks to himself, as he shivers from the recalling of it yet again.

"Well that's all done and off it goes" He mumbles to himself at his desk. "the big guy always said to look out for new talent!" AND this kid...girl?....being! Made a mark on Link for sure!

Link spins himself around in his chair to sip some of his scotch, then leans back to enjoy some of the view out of his window after a long day. As he finishes that glass with a final sip, the computer beeps and its showing him that an important message just came in.

"Humm what's this? A reply so soon?" he ponders, then opens the message.

:LIVE CHAT:
'Are you sure of this? and she is on her way there now?'

"Live! I never get a LIVE! message from.....him!" he near shouts.

:LIVE CHAT:
'Yes I am sure about, all I wrote. I checked the schools data base and yes...she is going there.' ....he types in.
As an alumni, he could check on this easily....as he still had 'friends' there.

:LIVE CHAT:
'Thank you for your performance on this. I am always on the look out for talent of this level. If she contacts you. Help her in anyway you can, use any company assets as needed."

:LIVE CHAT -end:

"Wow...he wanted to know more and asking me? in person?.....funny?" Link says to himself.

Shadowsblade here.

This is my newest story in a joint venture with a group of fan fic authors, so far this group is made up of Nuuan, then Branek and finally myself. We all got together and after a jumpy start decided to make a group of stories that all take place within the Whateley fanfic universe. This one here is my second one and hopefully its a good one.

But remember all. I am not leaving Shadowsblade behind! I will start writing her soon!

To have an idea about the main protagonist this story's will develop
around here is a short introduction.

Angels Peril a Whateley Tale: Written by Branek
Tormented by the past, Angel is struggling between light and dark.

Melvin a Whateley Tale: Written by Branek
They say old soldiers never die, Melvin is about to learn that the hard
way.

The Way of the Dragon a Whateley Tale: Written by Branek
Born for eternity but vulnerable like a child, dragons shouldn't leave
their nest.

Every Rose has it Thorns a Whateley Tale: Written by Nuaan
Watch what you say around rose, could give you more trouble than you ever
asked for.

Kelly a Whateley Tale: Written by Nuaan
Struggling with fate, Kelly has to deal with love and loss.

Shadowsblade a Whateley Tale: Written by Shadowsblade
Created for war and forged in pain, dealing with deamons within and the
out.

Vantier a Whateley Tale :Written by Shadowsblade
Ancient and Powerful Vantier awakens in a foreign world, struggling to
find her place in it.

You might ask yourself what is the Whateley Universe? To make it short,
here is a abstract straight out off the wiki.

Whateley is a Prep School for different teens. VERY different ones. Where else could a kid go to a school that has a resident demon living in the furnace? Or meet magic users, mutants of every imaginable kind, get trained in how to handle some rather odd abilities, and worry about
flunking Freshman English? Come visit Whateley Academy, nestled in the
lovely hills of New Hampshire. Just down the road from a town named
Dunwich... (Mythos jokes purely intentional).
This is the Whateley Academy Universe, a shared universe with over a dozen authors and more than a hundred stories (and counting). The stories range in size from vignettes to novels. It's a Mutant High scenario with both a strong transgender theme and a slightly watered down Cthulhu Mythos theme.

It's also very much a work in progress.'
If you want further information you will find them on.

But I have to thank, Both Branek and Nuuan for their vast input and the ability they both have to 'bounce' off ideas and improve them!

To all my readers who have e-mailed me and given support--THANKS!
