Tale of The Unlikely Heroes

Chapter 20

Yawning softly Arya kept her eyes closed as she felt drowsiness still claiming her thoughts and body.

'Jones don't you dare come over here or I will rip your foot off.' Growled Elora as Arya heard footsteps before they stopped. Sighing Arya slowly opened her eyes and looked through hazy vision. After blinking a couple times she saw a harassed looking Jones and behind him a very tired looking Isabel whose hair was a bit messy. Chuckling to herself Arya leaned her head back down and closed her eyes before saying to Elora.

'Tell him that I know Isabel sure had her fun with him last night. Maybe next time they should wait till they have a room.' Elora's amusement reached Arya as she felt Elora convey the message to Jones. Peeking her head up Arya watched Isabel turn redder then a rose and hide her face as Jones blushed slightly and snapped.

"What do you want detail? Or no better yet do you want us to show you? Maybe you're jealous because you have no one." He stopped immediately after he finished speaking and Isabel stared at him in shock as Arya flinched. Sighing Arya sat up and closed her eyes as Elora growled at Jones before Arya whispered.

"Elora stop, the children need rest" Stopping Elora just glared at Jones who fidgeted nervously and backed away as Arya's blue eyes peered out from under her bangs before sighing and looking down.

"At one time yes I would place it on jealousy but that is not the case, I have two children and I couldn't be more proud and happy then I am. I shouldn't have teased you and my apologies." Arya whispered as she opened her eyes and smiled lightly at Foxfire and Ilyrana. Blinking several times Jones mumbled.

"Alright well didn't catch a word you said so I need to go." He mumbled before walking over to the wall and slamming his head into the wall as Isabel gasped before Jones stood up fully and turned around with one half of his face coated in blood.

"I feel better." Slowly Arya rose to her feet before walking slowly over to Jones who went pail "Uh I swear I don't have a filter I'm sorry." He said loudly as he back against the wall. Shaking her head Arya closed her eyes and reached up slowly setting her hand on his cheek before whispering several words as his wounds healed. Turning around she went back to Elora and curled back up where she had been sleeping. Closing her eyes she started to drift off to sleep as drowsiness reclaimed her. Setting her head back down Elora let out a large sigh as she watched Jones and Isabel chatter quietly to themselves.

'She is no longer permitted to fight' Elora thought to herself as Arya shifted. Closing her eyes Elora let her ears swivel slowly as she relaxed lost in thought while listening to the Jones and Isabel.

"Jones I can't believe you said that" Isabel said as she stared at Jones "You realize how much that probably hurt?" Leaning forward she smacked Jones forcefully and then crossed her arms looking at him.

'That sounded painful' Elora thought to herself as she heard the slap. "Ow what was that for?" Jones complained as he rubbed his red cheek.

"Don't answer that... I know what that was for." Glaring at him Isabel sighed "Jones please go and apologize" Isabel whispered gently. Moving her head Elora pressed her nose against Arya's neck.

'wake up little one' she said nudging Arya's mind. Waking up instantly Arya squeaked loudly and glared at Elora.

"That was cold and wet you big ball of fur." Laughing Elora responded between fits of laughter in her mind.

'Shhh...don't wake the children.' Glaring Arya rubbed her neck and whined softly "God you're rude and mean." Glancing over Jones sighed and shrugged his shoulders at Isabel.

"She still won't speak english." Glaring at Jones Isabel motioned for him to move before he sighed and stood. Walking over to the small princess he chuckled and crouched down to face her.

"I'm sorry." Trying to not smile she ended up laughing and pointing at his cheek."What happened?" Glaring a little he stood and turned around.

"Stop laughing short stuff." Ignoring him Arya continued laughing for a minute before she sat down and leaned against Elora.

'You do realize that you aren't speaking his tongue?' Elora mumbled to Arya.
