Shadow Fighter

Winters Deal

I don't know where to look so I go through all the cupboards and the draws for some cloth. Finally in one I did find some and a photo. This photo was of a boy with black hair and violet eyes, I thought I knew him. But, I hit a brick wall trying to remember him.

Also a white gold dagger. I grab it and wrap some cloth around it and hide it in the side of my shorts. At the last moment I grab the photo and hid it also.

I walk back out to where Chase is and press the cloth to the small cut. How could you keep this from me Chase...? I trusted you but why didn't you trust me? I don't want to think about it too much. Because I didn't want to start hating on him. But, it hurts. I just want to show him I'm hurt.

"Jay..." Chase opens his eyes. "When did you wake up?" he goes to move up but I place my hand firmly on his chest to stop him.

"Stay down, you're hurt." I look at him.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there I tried to keep you safe. But..." he places a hand on my cheek. "I couldn't... I just... I failed you."

"Chase what happened, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't I want you to know that." I say, I bring my hand up and touch his hand. "I'm just happy you're alright."

He looks deep into my eyes and I see a flash of scarlet behind him. I look into his deep crystal blue eyes. He tilts his head up and moves closer. I could feel his breath on my lips. I look up and into his eyes, desire came flooding into his eyes. I know that this wasn't right but I just...

"WHERE IS SHE?" a voice boomed into the room. Chase and I sprang apart.

The doors open to reveal a tall man with long white silver hair to his waist. And bright blue eyes. His face was sharp and showed the signs of a true king. He didn't look older than thirty.

"My king..." Chase had gotten up quicker the humanly possible and bowed to him.

"So this is my other daughter Jay-lee is it? Well that is the name you have grown up to know. But, your name will be changed" He looks at me and walks over. Ignoring Chase still bowing.

"Ummm... Yes." I reply to him. How can he be my father when he doesn't even know my name? Let alone who I really could be... What if I said I wasn't his daughter, would he let me go? I don't know if he would believe me.

"I would like you to get changed and come for a walk." Kerrtron says still looking right into my eyes. Like a fox about pounce on a rabbit, looking into its eyes to see if it's going to be a chase or a give in.

"What is with you and your sister with human clothes?" He ask as he waved in a young girl carrying dresses. Wait... are they horns coming from her head? And hooves? A Satyrs, I have read about them before from a book from my mother.

"Why can't I just wear this?" I ask looking down at my shirt and jeans. Even with the blood and ripped fabric I didn't want to let go. It was my last bit of home I had left, my bag was nowhere to be seen.

"No I do not care for human clothes and you will do as I say or I will have you forced to be dressed in other matters. So Jay-lee it is up to you. What will you decide?" Kerrtron looks at me with the same look as a stalking fox. I know I cannot win this, but I do not want to give up my clothes.

"What will you do with my clothes?" I ask.

"They will be burnt. Chase follow." He says to me and turns to walk out the door then he turns to the Satyrs. "And Mewith, if you try to save her clothes for her I will have you feed to the Redcaps." And with that final threat ringing through the air he leaves.

And then I begin to change into one of the dresses I was presented with it was a light blue colour and the fabric was softer then clouds, it was full length and with sleeves down to my wrist. I also received a small bag that I tied around my waist under the dress and I quickly put the dagger and photo in. Mewith, sat me down in front of a mirror and began to brush my hair. I could see what Damon and Chase meant by what I looked like, my ears were pointed like the boys and my eyes looked like they had spot lights one them. I could feel the bag sitting on my thigh now.
