Town Hall

Zirean had blacked out by the time Saron was gathering herbs for the poison. She was dreaming of being with him forever. It was funny because she didn't feel anything when she'd first met him. But now it seemed like her heart was set on him. Fever poked at her mind and twisted her thoughts. She was moaning in her 'sleep' and beading sweat.

I came back in with herbs wrapped in my shirt. I knealed back down beside her watching her squirm in her 'sleep'. I got back up and headed to the fireplace where with the flick of a finger i started a fire. I boiled some water and made the room warm. I poured the water into a cup and mixed some herbs in. As it cooled I placed my hand behind her head, in her hair, and lifted her head to help her drink it. I grabbed a blanket and covered her up before heading to Mika and checking her leg, it was just a sleeping dart so I removed the tie and went and grabbed a book and leaned against the fire place and watched the two 'girls' sleeping before turning my head to the book. I quickly got bored with it and went and found my guitar and made my way back to the fireplace where it was warm. I rested it on my lap and began to play...with playing soon came a soft singing as I watched my fingers then closed my eyes as I took in the words

*Few hours later*
Zirean slowly woke up, she started moving but heard a voice telling her not to.She laid back down. Saron's voice was barely audible. Feeling weak she just laid there, She opened her eyes and looked at Saron. She smiled. But thier was still pain in her right shoulder.

I finished with a 3rd song when I caught Zirean's eyes flutter a bit. I looked up as I cought her eye. "Zirean..." I said excitedly "I leaned my guitar against the fire place and crawled over to her side. "How are you feeling?" I asked looking at the burnt wound on her shoulder

"Sore....and weak." She said weakly to Saron. She tried leaning forward slowly but got a huge headache. "Looks like i'll be stuck here for a while." She commented groaning. She said "where's Mithous?"
(Got to go to class. Be back ASAP! This is getting good! Can't wait to continue. )

(glad you're enjoying this k i'm switching back to whispering winds)

"Yes, you will be fore a while" I smiled "Is there anything I can get you, do for you?"

"Maybe some water.If you would." As he got the water around. She saw that she was now in a building. Looking over at the fireplace. She saw Mika. Zirean grew worried but asked instead "Where....where am I?" she said with realization that she did not know the place.

"Of course" I nodded and got up to get her some cool water. As I sat back down she looked around with a bit of worry flooding her eyes "you are in the town hall of one of the villages, don't worry you are safe here. I don't know where they came from, I didn't except them back till late spring, till after the baby was born at least" I looked over at Mika and sighed heavily hoping she'd wake up soon

"Is she ok?" Zirean asked Saron as she looked at the tiger on the hearth rug. She felt bad, because of the attack and failed to mention that nearly half the Revenge troops were seeking to kill her. She shook her head, feeling stupid.

"huh?" I asked and turned my head to Zirean and was captivated for a moment "Oh..ya, it was just a tranquilizer, I don't think they like hurting animals if they don't have to." I forced a smile then looked down at my hands and back at the fire where the flames danced off the reflection of my guitar

She looked at him, standing thier in the flames. It looked like it was a part of him. She smiled, and blushed as he looked away. Feeling embarassed. She'd never felt love before and was uncomfortable at least for the moment.

I turned my head back at her and caught myself staring at her again. "Sorry" I smiled and shook my head "Been a long evening already" I lied "Anything else I can do for you? make you more comfortable"

"Um.... no I think i'm ok so far. Thank you." She blushed as he leaned against the bed to check her wound. She looked at it, then she looked at the celing. "That definately dose not look good. What did you do to it? Oh well guess it saved my life. Thank you again Saron." She winced as he changed the bandages. "guess i owe you one huh?" She smiled at him.

The tiger's paw started to twitch as the sleeping dart's payload began to work it's way out of her system. Then her tail twitched and started sweeping along the floor. Finally her eyes fluttered open but she quickly shut them again. 'headache' she thought to herself as her head pounded. She lifted her head but that hurt to much with her head ache and she laid it back down again. She had to get back into human form but she couldn't concentrate enough to morph back. She chuffed quietly to get Saron's attention.

I smirked "You don't owe me anything" I looked at her then back at the bandages "I cotarized it, to keep anything from spreading" I said as I pulled the bandage off and put some herbs over it before wrapping it back up. "You should probably get some sleep" I said walking back to the fire and picking up my guitar "Can I play a song for you to help you sleep? any song, pick one"

She heard him talking but he didn't come over. Oh how she wished she had morphed back before getting tranquilized. She half meowed softly. She finally raised her head and nuzzled her stomach looking towards Saron like 'is the baby ok?'

"I do too. Not many people would even consider saving me. Since I'm well......well a Dark Rider." She hid under the covers in embarassment. Then he asked her if she wanted him to play her a song. "I don't know any songs. I've never been in a tavern before. Let alone listen to a song. You decide."

---timey-jumpy!! wohoo!

Arya walked in, her long dark red hair flowing all around her.
She froze on the door. A new girl, a sleeping tiger who seriously reminded her somebody, and Saron. Saron. Arya cocked her eyebrow and looked at him, then the girl and then tiger. She recognized her brown eyes - Mika.
"Well... hello" Arya said, a bit hesitated.

The tiger looked up Arya's voice. She tried to lift her head again but the drug that had knocked her out made her head pound. She tried to meow in a tiger way but it came out pitifully. She laid her head back down and panted slightly, her pregnant belly rising and falling steadily.

Arya ran to Mika and kneeled down besides her.
"Mika?" she whispered. "Can you hear me?"

The tiger nodded it's head but closed it's eyes again trying to block out the light from the fireplace. She opened them again, maybe she could talk with Espero? It would be a different dialect of cat but maybe they could communicate. She gently called out with a soft meow. '~Espero?~'

Espero walked in, proud as always, but Arya could feel he was concerned.
~Can you talk to her?~ Arya asked.
~I'll try.~ Espero laid down besides Arya and looked in Mika's eyes.
~Mika... can you hear me?~

Zirean looked at the newcomer that arrived in the building. She tried to sit up to say hello. Saron stopped her from getting up. She smiled at the newcomer trying to be polite.

The tiger sighed '~Yes~' she smiled slightly '~tell arya~' the tiger closed her eyes and swallowed '~I can't focus enough to morph back, the sleeping dart gave me a woosie of a headache.~' she closed her eyes again before opening them again '~is the baby ok?~' she asked her eyes full of concern. '~I don't hear him..~'

Zirean looked at the girl and the cat remained quiet. She felt worried for the baby.
