* I leaned against the cave wall and looked around the cave.*

"Where exactly are the rest of our companions?"

"They are down by the feild. I figured since Darkshadow and Jinx are so hostile that they would be fine."

"Well you aren't wrong there. I am afraid anything that comes near them is either lunch,or dead."

"Dangerous much?"

"Ohh,that's nothing,one time while I was tracking I was thirteen  and Darkshadow had been left out to pasture. A few people decided they would try to ride Darkshadow while I was sleeping. That ended badly,when they got close to him, he wound up trampling them and leaving them with a bunch of broken bones. Then when Jinx was a kitten somebody tried to get my attention by grabbing my shoulder and they grabbed Jinx and wound up with a missing hand. If you ever thought a half pound kitten couldn't fit an adult mans hand in their mouth then chomp it off,you were proven wrong,because Jinx did just that."

"You know I am now coming to realize exactly how much danger you are in with how many people Jinx and Darkshadow injured."

"Then you add it up with me being who I am and leaving my prey on the edge of death which usually means they die."

*I shifted my head over to the left against the wall so my hair fell around my face as I cracked a smile.*

"Ya know you have such a  way with words that it makes you both very attractive and yet deadly."

"Why thank you."

*I felt a breeze blow into the cave and I gave a shiver from the cold I realized something as I shivered...*

"Ummm,where exactly are my cloths?"

"Jinx took them..."

"Damn servel!"

*I heard Drake get up then come over to me he wrapped something around my body along with a blanket it felt like a....jacket.*

"Thanks."

"You know I find it funny,when I first met you it was more than a little hard wrapping my head around you getting dressed and un-dressed in front of me. Now,I don't even realize it."

"See,you have become somewhat blind to things! That is good when around me. Now good lucky when we are battling and you have to stitch my body up."

*I ran my hand through my hair as I talk so I was combing as well as fluffing my hair.*

"What exactly would I have to stitch?"

"Well typically you try to hit a vital organ or mam your opponent so arms,legs,stomach, chest. That sort of thing. Ohh,but don't worry I can stitch myself up as I said before as long as I am conscious."

"Then if you are unconscious I will."

"Precisely."

*I steadied myself on the wall as I moved down so I could lay on the ground. I focused my eyes on the fire so I could watch a story unfolded in its hot glowing embers and dancing flames.*

"Did you know fires can tell a persons past present and futur?"

"Are you chewing something I should know about?"

"Course not. Whoever lites a fire,the fire ends up telling  their story. Not many people can read the embers and flames however."

*I watched the embers of the fire  start smaller fires amongst the larger flame meaning Drakes past was one of loneliness and often sought  out comfort by misbehaving. Going to the blue and purple portion of the flame told of his teenage years the flames were bright and crisp however very low meaning his teen years were short however very fun. Then moving up towards the red of the flame it was long and often flickering into the orange meaning how he is now will turn into something of now and later and what he learns now will benefit him greater in the future then the orange flame,the hardest part to read and ever changing the type of smoke it released and the way it licked at the air reminded me of something what,I couldn't quiet place. The smoked showed a blurred image of the future he was with somebody...an female I couldn't make out what then it disappeared revealing a flame a dark black smudge flame. Then repeat.*

"Ivy,Ivy!"

"Yes?"

"I was just saying if you keep looking at the flame then you will go blind."

"Hmmm,yeah sure."

*I blinked at the flame then a stupid thought came to mind  causing me to crack a smile. A real one not my sadist smile like I normal showed.*

"Something amusing?"

"I was just thinking,I never was able to start a fire all that well and when I did it only lasted a few minutes."

"What about when..."

"Darkshadow started it."

"Ummm,how?"

"It's.a.secret."

*Drake gave a pouty face at me for my answer.*

"It makes absolutely no sense."

"Ohhh,well."

*I gave  a smirk after my sentence.*
