Silver Scorpion:
The protector and king of all beings in Shadowland including each district. He is said to have a tattoo of a scorpion and his successor would be his son. All silver scorpions have been male.
I sighed in relief when the foot steps stopped and a door opened and slammed shut. Then I heard a voice. It was a women's voice . She had a British accent, and spoke in a tense but medium volume as if not to be secretive but not to attract any one's attention.
"What in bloody hell do you want Harry!?" she asked.
"Well Vivian I was wondering...." he was cut off by the so called Vivian.
"About the girls? Kill them pry them from where the silver is then kill them. How you ask bring them to me and I will do away with them." she told him.
"Yes right away" he said and then he left the room and headed down the hall. The bad thing was he was headed straight toward my cell!
"I know dumbo!" I screamed at him right into his ear.
"Then why did you ask?" he said pulling away and acting innocent.
"To humor you, that's all." I said as innocently as he did.
"Right..." he said sarcastically and slipped his sword from its scabbard and said "Well, if you really are a true ninja then lets see you fight". I pulled out my sword and before he new it mines tip was under his chin. He chuckled and said "Very good" and swiftly raised his chin and hit his sword against mine at the same time. Mine came down and he held it there. He was stronger than I was and a very good fighter. But I was very quick. So while he was focusing on keeping my sword down he hadn't thought about keeping his body out of the way of my weapon. His thigh was only a foot away from the tip of it so I pushed it into his flesh. He cried out in agony and fell to the ground. I got it in deep so it came down with him. He shut his eyes tight and puled the sword out of his leg. He sucked air through his teeth as he did so for it must of hurt. Then he lay the sword beside him and lied back with his eyes closed trying to take long and deep breaths. Lots of blood came from the wound but it slowly became less and less until the blood stopped flowing. I was puzzled and looked closer at his leg. The wound had completely healed in a little less than five minutes! I gasped and he opened his eyes.
"What?" he asked and grinned.
"It ... It .." I couldn't get the words out so I just pointed with my eyes wide.
He chuckled ,sat up, and said "It healed, I know I'm Graced with healing and water" he held up his element bracelet. I just starred at him like a weirdo. "Jeez, I thought you knew" he said and got to his feet. "Your a good fighter though" He said "Never thought you'd strike."
"Well I did " I said finally getting my ability of speech back "And I don't regret it one bit" but I did for as I looked into his round blue green eyes and well I don't know what I felt all I knew was that I had this crazy erg to kiss him.
As the footsteps came closer I crouched in front of the door and when Harry came to it , rattled the key in the lock ,and opened it I pounced. I pushed him against the wall and held his shirt collar so tight that it lifted him off the ground.
"Where is Shaka!" I said through my teeth for I was very angry.
"What do you mean?" he said very nervously "She should be in there with you!" he said his face became bright red and he started to sweat.
"Liar" I screamed at him.
"No I swear" He said and from the weakness in his voice and the expression on his face I knew he was telling the truth. So I dropped him and he hit his head and blacked out. I stepped over his body and swiftly ran down the hallway , killing a few guards, and taking some twisty turns then exited the cave. After that I used my unusually keen senses to sniff out Shaka. I smelt her about a mile away and ran like the wind for I smelt fresh blood. When I saw her she was in a clearing and with her was a boy with sandy blond hair bright blue green eyes and blood soaking one pant leg from the thigh down. Next to him was Shaka's sword which was also bloody and so was the ground.
"What the hell" The boy said as I walked into the clearing.
"No I should be saying what the hell, Your covered in blood and my friend here doesn't have a scratch on her." I said. Shaka had spun around to see me right after the boy had spoken. The boy looked down at himself "And?" he said as if nothing was wrong. "So shes a good fighter"
"So you got in a fight. With whom may I ask?" I asked him.
"Uh her obviously no ones around to have a fight with accept for her" He jambed his thumb in Shaka's direction. I turned toward her
"Who is he and why is he all bloody?" I asked.
"Well his name is Thatcher and he is all bloody because I stabbed him but he is a healer so he'll be alright" As soon as I heard her say thatcher I remembered him. He's Harry's nephew. He was there when we locked him up, and Harry's brother Cornelius is the king and the current silver so that means this boy, this healer is the next generation of silvers.
Everlynn sat down on a rock , put her elbows on her knees, and sat their starring at Thatcher's leg. What the heck, why is she just starring, she of all people should have remembered him.
"So" she finally said "Why are you here?" Thatcher had sat on the ground with one leg bent and one straight.
He looked up at her and said "I don't know, I was wondering around because my dad's place was robbed and I guess I felt like leaving."
"OK so when are you going back?" she asked. "I don't know... Well probably after Aunt Viv comes and leaves"
"Um.. you do realize your aunts at Harry's cave and is looking for you, she thinks we know where you are" she said.
"That's weird" he said in return. "I wonder..." his face scrunched up like he was in deep thought."Dad says the last time aunt Viv came when I was off at another kingdom she acted really weird and really wanted see me" He said.
"Huh that is weird. Oh I almost forgot..." she said as she dug into her pocket and pulled out a silver chain with a white gem and handed it to me.
"Thanks" I said " I must of forgotten that."
"No prob oh and Thatcher is Vivian psi-kick?" I asked.
"Uh no, I don't think she has a grace."
"Well she sounded psi-kick...".
"Thatcher?" I asked.
"Yes?" he asked back.
"Uh do you know of a vampire." I recalled of the night I left.
"Not one that lives around here. Why?"
"Uh I smelt one earlier nothing really though." Thatcher looked puzzled.
"Hmm. Weird. The Night Children live farther north and only a few are left any way... Well if they started breeding again my dad would know about it...so"
"Yeah your right" I said and that was the end of that...
Suddenly I heard a noise. I turned to listen. Thatcher began to say something but I stopped him with a hush. He looked surprised then settled down a sat. I glanced around the small clearing. We were surrounded by tall red woods and lots of shrubs. Above us there was very little light coming through the very tall trees.
"I think....." I heard a faint whisper that was cut of by a "Shush!".
"Some ones here" I said. Thatcher suddenly flung his body up word and stood on his feet.
"Then what are we doing standing here!" He said and he headed toward a path through the trees. Suddenly I heard a "Boing!" and I saw a speedy arrow fly by and hit Thatcher in the back. Shaka gasped and I heard
"Not him you idiot, The red head." A woman who believe was Vivian said.
"Sorry" The man with the bow said. He must of been a guard. Meanwhile Shaka had ran toward Thatcher who was hunched over gasping with the arrow below his left shoulder blade sticking out only a short distance. He was on his knees with his arms hugging his chest. Blood flooded his white shirt. Suddenly another "Boing!" and I found myself in the path of a flying steel tipped arrow headed straight towards my chest!
As I ran to Thatcher's side, I heard a deafening cry that came from behind me. I turned around and saw Everlynn lying on her back with an arrow sticking out of her stomach. I looked around and saw a shadow in the trees. I swiftly lunged at it and slammed into a large guard who toppled on to a woman behind him. The guard must have hit his head for he had blacked out. After, I ran to Everlynn's side. But when I reached her Thatcher was already there. There was a bloody arrow on the ground and his shirt was soaked in a dark red substance , most definitely blood. I sat down on my heels next to her.
"We need to get her to flame city." He said "I know a healer who is in the advanced stages of her grace."
"OK but don't you think we should wrap it in a make shift bandage first" I said.
"Good idea" he told me "But I'm gonna need your shirt.".
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Because mine is soaked." he tugged at the wet shirt he had on. "Now hand it over please."
"Fine" I said and slid my shirt off. I handed it to him, he tried not to look but I guess he couldn't help himself. He rapped the black cotton around her waist to try to stop the blood. He didn't bother with the arrow.
"Here" He said as he dug into his satchel that I really didn't notice until now. He pulled out a dark cloak with silver fringe. "Its my mom's so try not to ruin it." he said as he picked up Everlynn and started toward flame city.
