Six Souls, One Timeless Connection.. (PART TWO)

The teacher shouts causing the students all to stop just short of the door. “Rules have been changed so a new code book will be set as well.” The teachers face gets dark. “You best read it all the way threw. All of you.” The students nod before exiting quickly. Dusty yawns stretching as they all walk up to the waiting teacher. “You three have rooms in the outsiders dorms so here are your key cards.” The teacher hands each boy a small black card with a silver spiral pattern in the shape of a large tree surrounded by a gate. “The dorm is for the outsider students only so you will be housed with the rest of the outsider students here.” The teacher shuffles some papers, looking back up at the three boys who were more confused with what to do next than anything else in the world. “Oh right.” The teacher says looking back at the confused boys clearing his throat. “A representative should be here shortly so feel free to wait for her here.” The teacher walks out of the classroom chattering right outside the door. “Ahh there you are. You are late how come that is?” There is small chattering from right outside the door until the door slides open with a slamming sound. The boys look to the door with nothing but empty space. Leaning against the wall dusty sighs. “Great..” He mumbles to himself. After a short time of waiting in silence Shizui’s ears twitched to the sound of pitter pattering feet against the floor. Looking down shizui saw a rabbit looking up at him, It’s nose twitched. “Aww.. Hi little guy are you lost?” Shizui goes to pet the rabbits head, but pulls away with a tiny yelp and falls backwards surprised, as she nips at his hand. “Who are you calling “Little guy” huh??” The rabbit narrows her eyes at him bouncing onto his stomach. "You...you..you can talk!” Shizui looks back to dark and dusty with pleading eyes but dark just chuckles with a shrug. “Oh so, you are a magi student and a talking anime is what’s shocking huh? Pretty strange outsider that you are.” She makes a small squeak for a laugh before bouncing off his stomach heading towards the door. “Names lucky foot, people just call me lucky, but that does not matter! Alright chop chop. I don’t have all day!” She says and bounces out into the hallway. Dark and dusty follow out into the hallway leaving the poor shocked shizui a few paces behind. As Shizui catches up a shadowy figure lurks behind them, studying them. “Alright now. Keep up boys.” Suddenly the bunny was blazing down the hallway. It almost looked like she was flying and not bouncing, giving no movement of her feet touching the ground. Gasping the boys ran down the hall barely keeping up with the fast crazy blur. Dusty paid attention to the sand he happened to sprinkle on the bunny who unknowingly left behind a small trail only dusty could track. Turning left, right, left, down a hallway, down the stairs up another, they ran fast barely keeping up with the blazing bunny before suddenly coming to a long hallway filled with windows to the outside’s sparkling sunlight. Dusty’s eyes caught a small shadowy figure standing at the end of the forest at the mouth of a abandoned courtyard. Skidding to a halt he froze mid step with his eyes stuck to the cloaked figure. Two silver eyes bore into his causing him to suck in a breath and stumble back a bit into a passing dark. Dark tripped but the sudden weight of the taken back dusty causing his own body to stumble falling over his elbow catching his weight. “Damn it..” Dark winced in pain pushing himself back up. “Why don’t you watch the hell where you are going huh..?” Dark grabs dusty by the shirt collar. He looks at the dazed dusty who would not revert his gaze from the window. “What’s wrong with yo-” Dark looks out the window his eyes getting trapped but the same silver that bore into dusty’s. Letting go of dusty’s collar slowly they both stood there in a stare. “Hey guys!” Shizui called to them running up with lucky bouncing next to him. The cloaked figure disappeared into the shadows causing dusty and dark to blink a few times before looking over to Shizui and lucky. “What's keeping you two!?” Lucky tapped her foot impatiently her eyes flicking between the two boys with a small glare. Dark looked too Dusty to see if he would answer but dusty had quickly gone back to being the i don’t know or care type of person with his arm behind his head looking at the ceiling. With that dark decided to keep it on a down low as well. “Oh nothing I thought I saw something in the courtyard but it was just a bird flying to its nest is all.” Dark and Dusty walked passed the two that had confused looks plastered plain as day on there faces. “Let’s go thought you were in a huge rush huh?” Dusty said changing the subject quickly. “That’s right!” Lucky looked at dusty bouncing towards Dark and Dusty as they continued down the hall at a more normal pace. Shizui looked out into the courtyard thinking to himself before he ran after the three. After one last turn and a small walk down a hallway they made it to a slightly larger than a normal house door with a complicated tree symbol on it. “Now!” Lucky said as she itches herself with her hind leg. “You will be staying her in the dorms made for the outsider students. “Inside each of you will have your own rooms and half bathrooms. There is a bathing area for both genders and a large kitchen for all students to share. Also there is a small lobby for studying with a few bookcases and a large access screen for more online type research. You will be given a code to use the access screen on the first sign in and that code will also be used for the training system programming in both your personal one in here and on the school grounds for classes..” She takes in a deep breath. “Also like school there will be no use of magic to cause injuries that will or can be fatal and it will not be tolerated if heard about. Since you won’t be in school and in your own living quarters at after school time you will not need to ask to spare or have a spare watch. So in other words if you are wanting to spare you can freely in the times you are home but! The first rule still applies. Unsafe magic will not!” She stares with a mighty glare. “Tolerated..Now.. Go on in and find a room to set up in.” She slams her feet on the door in a type of pattered causing it to open slightly. Dark pulls the door open the rest of the way letting the three boys to looking inside at a staircase leading to a high level awaited them.. The sound of impatient taps come from behind them. “Go already!” Lucky said pushing all three of them inside the door into a pile of toppled over boys. “Damn that inpatient rabbit! UGh. Get your foot out of my face and get your butt off my back.” Dusty said shifting his weight to make the small shizui slide to the floor. Dusting himself off shizui stands up and walks straight up the staircase. “Hey you don’t even know what's up there how can you be so unconscious. Even when you are and were born of the ice ninja clan.” Dark asked him stepping onto the stairs behind him. Shizui looks back at dark thinking to himself before answering softly. “ You did your homework on us huh? Yeah I am a ninja.” He smiles stopping to reach into his belt for a kurini made of ice and had a deep blue ribbon wrapped for the handle. The kurini gleamed giving off a severe cold chill. “Wow an arctic kurini tool that its amazing..” Dark said studying it as even dusty come over to study the blade. “These take 200 years to mature and craft how in the world did you get one?” Dusty asked somewhat impressed. “Oh well..” Shizui thinks back to when he first laid his hands on the magic tool. “I was given a small box for my birthday one year and it had many ribbons tied onto the box as if it was opened and shut opened and shut opened and shut until it was fully grown and matured. So after that day and spending hours training with it in on that same day it clicked. Almost like I had started growing this very same tool 200 years ago. It works almost scary perfect for me.” Dusty and dark look at him with a funny look. “That sounds stupid..” Dark says with a laugh as dusty joins in whole heartedly. “Cheesy..” Dusty said as he continued to walk up the stairs. “Hey! I know that's an uncool way to get it but I swear I have this feeling I was meant to be giving it last..Or.. something..” Shizui watches the stairs under his feet as he walks deep in his thoughts. Dark pats him on the shoulder and smiles. “It’s okay. We all have things we believe in and no one can change how or what it is so don’t worry about it so much.” Shizui looks up at dark with a smile. “Yea I guess.” Opening the door at the top of the stairs they walk into a well light room. A large window let most of the daylight in with a small top window in the ceiling above a large chandelier with silver vines wrapped around the tear drop lights. The walls were painted with a soft green paint and a fluffy white carpet lead into a large sitting area with a love-seat, couple of chairs and a large white marble table. “Fancy..” Dusty smirked pushing his hood back to look up at the decorative trim on the walls. Shizui plopped into one of the soft chairs sinking in with a sigh. “Wow.. I could just nap right here..” “But why would you if you can just nap in your own room?” Lowe said walking up to them with a small girl hiding behind his side. “Hey man.” Dark Shook his hand smiling. “Thanks again for the help.” Shizui comes up behind them tapping the girl on the shoulder. “Hello!” He says smiling boldly, but she cowers behind Lowe more. “Aw. I am not that scary am I?” Lowe pushes Shizui back slightly with a laugh. “The scariest you know.” Shrugging Shizui played along. “I know I try hard.” Dusty walks past Lowe to the entryway he had walked out of. “Rooms this way?” He asked blandly as Lowe just nodded. Dusty walked out and down the hallway to find a room he would be staying in. Dark sighed irritably trying to ignore him. “So who is this little lady?” He said with a kind smile on his face. “Ah that’s right you have not met any of the other outsiders. Here let me introduce to you the shinning star of outsider magic toolmaker family. Miss. Olivia Tintly.” He steps back from her in a showy bow causing her to fidget nervously. “H..h..hell..o..” Her fox ears that lay low twitch softly as she fidgets more and more. Shizui walks to her offering his hand to her with a smile. She looks up at him cautiously grabbing his hand. His demeanor changed as he kissed her hand lightly with his lips looking at her with a pure smile. “Nice to meet you Olivia please call me Shizui.” Her face reddens as she smiles slightly with a nod. “And I am Dark” Dark said standing to her side, causing the girl to work into a fluster of embarrassment. Clearing his throat Lowe shakes his head. “Now now, Olivia you are going to be a senior in a year you better stop letting freshmen boys sweep you off your feet so easy right off the bat yea?” He laughs before he was suddenly punched causing him to fly across the room over the couch. Dark and shizui look from the area where they last saw Lowe to where he was now in shock. “Why don’t you quit acting like you are all that. This is why no girl likes you.” A tall female with folded pig ears snorts irritably. “Always so boastful” She moves a bubblegum pink stray of hair out of her face with a huff. “Can’t you at least try and act like you have some class.” She rolls her eyes placing her hand on the tiny Oliva's head. “Damn it Abigail..” Lowe pulls himself over the back of the couch rubbing his head. “Can’t you be a bit softer next time dear..” He smiles laughing nervously. Dark looks too Lowe then back at the irritated Abigail. “Lovers corral seems quite heck-tick maybe we should find our rooms to huh.” Abigail shakes her head in a huff a small blush creeped into her cheeks. “As if. But if you wanna know what rooms are yours just threw the archway and the boys are on the right side. Last two are open closer to the practice area.” “Since you are the incoming freshmen we all decided you guys would need the practice room more so we switched rooms a bit.” Olivia smiled slightly. Shizui patted her head with a big grin. “Thanks that means a lot! I got a lot to work on. Maybe you can show me your skills sometimes yea?” Olivia shook her head quickly a blush brighten her cheeks as she smiled shyly. Dark pushed the grinning Shizui threw the archway as the two seniors starting arguing again in the background. “I am not always boasting I promise..” “Oh whatever you are such a poser..” “Not true!” Dark shakes his head as they walk down to the last rooms. “Those two don’t see it but I think they like each other.” Dark says laughing as Shizui nods in agreement. “Oh hey dusty..” Shizui smiles slightly waving at the owl who was stopped in front of the third door away from the practice room. “What the hell was all that noise?” He asked leaning against his door frame. “Oh Just the seniors greeting us I guess.” Dark said lightly and with a shrug before shutting himself in his new room the second to the practice space. Dusty looks to his closed door then to Shizui. “What’s with him?” Shizui just shrugs and walks to the last door. “Sweet I get the closet room. Now I really will beat everyone.” Shizui walks into his room closing the door without another word. Dusty stands looking at the wall across from his room. After wondering to himself what their problem is he opened the door to his room and shut himself inside as well. Laying on the bed with a giant flop he looks up and the ceiling. “Well a full size bed, Large closet, Dresser and a large window is not the worse for a room I guess..” He sits up in bed looking around with a sigh. “Well I better get ready for bed.” He walks over to the dresser where they had brought his stuff putting things away from him. He pulls out a tan shirt and black Capri sweats, his head turns slightly towards the window as he took his shirt off revealing his chest. Pausing his eyes search around the shadows of his window and the shadows casted by the almost completely set sun. Shrugging off the feeling that he is being watched he finishes getting dressed before walking to his door and locking it. He sprinkles sand at the front of the door with his magic before following to the window base to do the same. This way he will be able to tell if his feeling was right he thought to himself before laying down in bed. He casted a spell making a large earthy dome encase around him and his bed. Back in dark's room he had pulled out a few books looking over the stories and rules of the mages before him. He stretches looking out his window at the rising moon. “It’s late I guess I better hit the hay tonight got class tomorrow..” he snaps his fingers causing the light in the room to flicker out before sliding into bed for the night. Shizui had passed out on the bed with drool dripping out of his mouth in a deep sleep. A Shadow grabs his covers and tosses them over him. Beady yellow eyes watch him sleep with a grin. As the night went on snores and soft breathing of dreams and sleep filled the house a presence appeared at dusty's door with a swift movement and no sudden sounds the presence was standing inside his room looking over his dome with bright silver eyes studying the challenge. The presence nimbly walks to his dome the aura around causing the dome to turn to sand crumbling to the floor as a hourglass flows with time. Dusty keeps his eyes closed but knew there was something off, he breathes in slow and even to not give away that he had awaken. The presence just stands next to his bed for awhile as if watching before kneeling down reaching to place a hand on his head. The warmth of the heat set an internal alarm to dusty causing him to push the figure back away from him. Swiftly he pulled a jagged sand knife from his side holding it to his chest level in a reaction. “Who is there!” The figure fell back with a thud and a small squeak erupted from the cloaked presence. His eyes adjusted his eyes towards the squeak to see a small cloaked figure slightly trying to scoot away from him. Two Shocked eyes stare back at him as they change from the calming silver to purple. The shining gave an uneasy feeling as his body reacted he gathered more sand knifes forming above his head. As they sat at a stand still the eyes shined to a deep red causing his body to shiver with a response of fear her threw the knife's to pin the figure to the ground restricting their movement. The rest of his sand he had left locks the door as he walks closer to the cloaked figure. He holds the knife close to his body ready to use it when he may need to before speaking with a small hint of hesitation in his voice as he tries hard to not look into their eyes. “I will ask again. Who. Are. you..” He says his voice low and eyes narrowed waiting for a response. Meanwhile dark had woken up from his sleep with the slight feeling something was going on. After laying in bed with not hearing anything he decided he wanted to go get something to eat. “I must have the munchies is all..” Yawning and stretching he walks to out of his room to the kitchen. His ear twitch as he opens the fridge looking inside. “Hmmm… What to make, what to make..” He starts to grab stuff to make a sandwich and a spicy flavored drink before heading to the table to make it. “No sushi, but this will do..” He said licking his lips before taking a bit into the nicely crafted sandwich. “Mmm..” After Dusty had waited for a response his patients were up. The figure had hid there face further into the cloak irritating dusty to the breaking point. “Enough hiding! You had the guts to sneak in here so show yourself coward!” Dusty motions a and knife with his hand to slash down the middle of the cloak adding a small amount of wind magic for speed to tear the cloth in a clean cut away from the figures body. With a loud shriek dusty's eyes fell upon a pair of black lacy undies that were no longer hidden by the lifted skirt due to the wind. His eyes darted wildly to the women's face to see her expression in horror as her cheeks burned red with embarrassment. Her mouth formed the shape for a scream but on instinct dusty’s body moved to kneel over her with his hand on her mouth. Her eyes blazed a mixture between red and purple and she wiggled to get herself free ready to push him off but he held her down with his body. “Shhh!” he hissed at her as a knock on the door brought both of there bodys to tense up in pure silence. There was another knock. “Who is it..” Dusty said trying to make his voice not crack, as he turned away from the girls eyes. “It’s Dark. I heard someone scream is everything okay..?” She felt his body slowly tense a bit more as she studied him intensely. “Yeah I am all good. Maybe someones watching a scary movie.” He played off. Dark looked at dusty’s door thinking to himself. He had spilled his drink on his shirt when he heard the scream and went running so he could not really pinpoint where the sound came from. He looked back and forth down the hall before responding. “Yeah I guess..” He was curious but no one else had come out so maybe it was just a movie or something.. “I am all good dad.” Dusty said with a mocking tone. “Great.. If you are mocking me I would say you are still your asshole self yea?” Dark spat as he walked back to his room to change out of his wet shirt. After dusty heard dark leave and shut his door he turned back to the girl he held down. She stared back up at him with a bewildered look twitching the sides of her mouths to give the hint she will bite him. Releasing her mouth he narrowed his eyes slightly before addressing her with a low voice. “Don’t. Scream.” “Then get off me and let me go!” She hissed back in a low tone. “Fine. Here are your options. Option one. I let you go and you walk out the front door and be seen and have to explain everything and how fun that will be. Options two. I let you go you crawl out my window and get the hell out of here or option three you sit in my dirt dome until morning where I will turn you into the school you decide, But know if you scream I will be picking option 3 for you.” He says with the best threatening voice he had. He watches her think things over before turning her head to the window. “Option two. Good choice..” He says slowly getting off of her. He backs away from her towards the door to give her room to get up freely. She gets up facing the window and before he knew it she had walked over to where he stood and slapped him hard across the cheek. Her eyes and expression deeply embarrassed and upset causing him to look back at her shocked and not able to make a move or studer a word. She turned back to the window unlocking the latch and swinging it wide open. Hoping back onto the ledge she stands tall into the moonlight giving full view of her body. His eyes traveled from her neon green hair to the shin of her moon white skin. He takes the picture of her body and beauty inside his head in a hypnotic state. He could almost feel himself reach for her as she turned to look at him one last time her bunny ears bounced and cat tail twitched slightly before she vanished into the night without a trace. A moment later he could feel himself suck in a breath as his heart bated loudly in his chest. “Who was that..” He said to the quiet room in wonder. The sudden sting on his check caused him to trace his hand along her slap as he closed his window. “Damn.. That chick got me good..” He said laying down on the bed touching where she touched him lightly every so often. He rolled over with his mind racing with thoughts. Who was she… how in the hell could she get that close to me without causing more of an alarm.. Why didn’t any of my sand stick to her.. What was she after.. Was she here to kill me?.. I wonder what her name is.. “ The image of the moment the moonlight hit her flashed into his brain, as his mind continued to race, but after several hours of racing thoughts he dozed off to sleep without even putting up his defensive barriers and protective charms.

Dark pushed the grinning Shizui threw the archway as the two seniors starting arguing again in the background. “I am not always boasting I promise..” “Oh whatever you are such a poser..” “Not true!” Dark shakes his head as they walk down to the last rooms. “Those two don’t see it but I think they like each other.” Dark says laughing as Shizui nods in agreement. “Oh hey dusty..” Shizui smiles slightly waving at the owl who was stopped in front of the third door away from the practice room. “What the hell was all that noise?” He asked leaning against his door frame. “Oh Just the seniors greeting us I guess.” Dark said lightly and with a shrug before shutting himself in his new room the second to the practice space. Dusty looks to his closed door then to Shizui. “What’s with him?” Shizui just shrugs and walks to the last door. “Sweet I get the closet room. Now I really will beat everyone.” Shizui walks into his room closing the door without another word. Dusty stands looking at the wall across from his room. After wondering to himself what their problem is he opened the door to his room and shut himself inside as well. Laying on the bed with a giant flop he looks up and the ceiling. “Well a full size bed, Large closet, Dresser and a large window is not the worse for a room I guess..” He sits up in bed looking around with a sigh. “Well I better get ready for bed.” He walks over to the dresser where they had brought his stuff putting things away from him. He pulls out a tan shirt and black Capri sweats, his head turns slightly towards the window as he took his shirt off revealing his chest. Pausing his eyes search around the shadows of his window and the shadows casted by the almost completely set sun. Shrugging off the feeling that he is being watched he finishes getting dressed before walking to his door and locking it. He sprinkles sand at the front of the door with his magic before following to the window base to do the same. This way he will be able to tell if his feeling was right he thought to himself before laying down in bed. He casted a spell making a large earthy dome encase around him and his bed. Back in dark's room he had pulled out a few books looking over the stories and rules of the mages before him. He stretches looking out his window at the rising moon. “It’s late I guess I better hit the hay tonight got class tomorrow..” he snaps his fingers causing the light in the room to flicker out before sliding into bed for the night. Shizui had passed out on the bed with drool dripping out of his mouth in a deep sleep. A Shadow grabs his covers and tosses them over him. Beady yellow eyes watch him sleep with a grin. As the night went on snores and soft breathing of dreams and sleep filled the house a presence appeared at dusty's door with a swift movement and no sudden sounds the presence was standing inside his room looking over his dome with bright silver eyes studying the challenge. The presence nimbly walks to his dome the aura around causing the dome to turn to sand crumbling to the floor as a hourglass flows with time. Dusty keeps his eyes closed but knew there was something off, he breathes in slow and even to not give away that he had awaken. The presence just stands next to his bed for awhile as if watching before kneeling down reaching to place a hand on his head. The warmth of the heat set an internal alarm to dusty causing him to push the figure back away from him. Swiftly he pulled a jagged sand knife from his side holding it to his chest level in a reaction. “Who is there!” The figure fell back with a thud and a small squeak erupted from the cloaked presence. His eyes adjusted his eyes towards the squeak to see a small cloaked figure slightly trying to scoot away from him. Two Shocked eyes stare back at him as they change from the calming silver to purple. The shining gave an uneasy feeling as his body reacted he gathered more sand knifes forming above his head. As they sat at a stand still the eyes shined to a deep red causing his body to shiver with a response of fear her threw the knife's to pin the figure to the ground restricting their movement. The rest of his sand he had left locks the door as he walks closer to the cloaked figure. He holds the knife close to his body ready to use it when he may need to before speaking with a small hint of hesitation in his voice as he tries hard to not look into their eyes. “I will ask again. Who. Are. you..” He says his voice low and eyes narrowed waiting for a response. Meanwhile dark had woken up from his sleep with the slight feeling something was going on. After laying in bed with not hearing anything he decided he wanted to go get something to eat. “I must have the munchies is all..” Yawning and stretching he walks to out of his room to the kitchen. His ear twitch as he opens the fridge looking inside. “Hmmm… What to make, what to make..” He starts to grab stuff to make a sandwich and a spicy flavored drink before heading to the table to make it. “No sushi, but this will do..” He said licking his lips before taking a bit into the nicely crafted sandwich. “Mmm..” After Dusty had waited for a response his patients were up. The figure had hid there face further into the cloak irritating dusty to the breaking point. “Enough hiding! You had the guts to sneak in here so show yourself coward!” Dusty motions a and knife with his hand to slash down the middle of the cloak adding a small amount of wind magic for speed to tear the cloth in a clean cut away from the figures body. With a loud shriek dusty's eyes fell upon a pair of black lacy undies that were no longer hidden by the lifted skirt due to the wind. His eyes darted wildly to the women's face to see her expression in horror as her cheeks burned red with embarrassment. Her mouth formed the shape for a scream but on instinct dusty’s body moved to kneel over her with his hand on her mouth. Her eyes blazed a mixture between red and purple and she wiggled to get herself free ready to push him off but he held her down with his body. “Shhh!” he hissed at her as a knock on the door brought both of there bodys to tense up in pure silence. There was another knock. “Who is it..” Dusty said trying to make his voice not crack, as he turned away from the girls eyes. “It’s Dark. I heard someone scream is everything okay..?” She felt his body slowly tense a bit more as she studied him intensely. “Yeah I am all good. Maybe someones watching a scary movie.” He played off. Dark looked at dusty’s door thinking to himself. He had spilled his drink on his shirt when he heard the scream and went running so he could not really pinpoint where the sound came from. He looked back and forth down the hall before responding. “Yeah I guess..” He was curious but no one else had come out so maybe it was just a movie or something.. “I am all good dad.” Dusty said with a mocking tone. “Great.. If you are mocking me I would say you are still your asshole self yea?” Dark spat as he walked back to his room to change out of his wet shirt. After dusty heard dark leave and shut his door he turned back to the girl he held down. She stared back up at him with a bewildered look twitching the sides of her mouths to give the hint she will bite him. Releasing her mouth he narrowed his eyes slightly before addressing her with a low voice. “Don’t. Scream.” “Then get off me and let me go!” She hissed back in a low tone. “Fine. Here are your options. Option one. I let you go and you walk out the front door and be seen and have to explain everything and how fun that will be. Options two. I let you go you crawl out my window and get the hell out of here or option three you sit in my dirt dome until morning where I will turn you into the school you decide, But know if you scream I will be picking option 3 for you.” He says with the best threatening voice he had. He watches her think things over before turning her head to the window. “Option two. Good choice..” He says slowly getting off of her. He backs away from her towards the door to give her room to get up freely. She gets up facing the window and before he knew it she had walked over to where he stood and slapped him hard across the cheek. Her eyes and expression deeply embarrassed and upset causing him to look back at her shocked and not able to make a move or studer a word. She turned back to the window unlocking the latch and swinging it wide open. Hoping back onto the ledge she stands tall into the moonlight giving full view of her body. His eyes traveled from her neon green hair to the shin of her moon white skin. He takes the picture of her body and beauty inside his head in a hypnotic state. He could almost feel himself reach for her as she turned to look at him one last time her bunny ears bounced and cat tail twitched slightly before she vanished into the night without a trace. A moment later he could feel himself suck in a breath as his heart bated loudly in his chest. “Who was that..” He said to the quiet room in wonder. The sudden sting on his check caused him to trace his hand along her slap as he closed his window. “Damn.. That chick got me good..” He said laying down on the bed touching where she touched him lightly every so often. He rolled over with his mind racing with thoughts. Who was she… how in the hell could she get that close to me without causing more of an alarm.. Why didn’t any of my sand stick to her.. What was she after.. Was she here to kill me?.. I wonder what her name is.. “ The image of the moment the moonlight hit her flashed into his brain, as his mind continued to race, but after several hours of racing thoughts he dozed off to sleep without even putting up his defensive barriers and protective charms.
