~ Part 19 ~


My child is entering unknown danger… please dear spirits, protect her…


Danielle…
“W-whos there?”
Kisara…
“I’m warning you! Don’t make me hurt you!”

The green light to either side led her down a long tunnel. It had been whispering her name since she was swept into it. Taken against her will she had no choice but to follow it. The walls she could not touch… they burned…

Her breath came laboriously. The air was getting thinner. Her Item was in hand but no thoughts from the other soul inside of it came to her. She felt completely alone. Falling to her knees, dizziness swept over her. It felt like she had been walking for hours. Casting her eyes downward the floor spun under her, opening a hole. She could make out two figures…

Naru!

A darker being had her in its grasp. It spoke but no word could she hear. ‘I have to help Naru’ she thought urgently. Placing her hand on the hold she found it solid. It wouldn’t let her through. The being released Naru, shoving her through an opening in the light.

The walls to either side pressed in on her. The touch of the light was like lava. Against her will she screamed.

The being startled and looked up at her. Fear gripped her heart deeper than before. The emerald eyes took her in. Raising a hand the creature broke the barrier between them.

Falling through the heat of the light visions of her life passed before her eyes. No visions of Kisaras’ life. There was Seto… oh how she longed to be in his arms once more… To feel protected…

Danielle…

Opening her eyes Danielle found herself looking at Naru and Malik. Smiling she reached out her hand… The terror in Narus’ eyes almost made her pull it back. She tried to talk to her. To tell her it was alright, but her voice was gone… lost in the air. They flinched, so they must have heard something. Taking a step forward, she grew anxious. The green light was pulling her back to it. Its pull made her go back a step. Then another and another, until she was against the wall. Danielle An arm wrapped around my waist. Before I could do anything it jumped… Right through the ceiling!

We passed through many levels of solid rock. Passing by to quickly for even the guards to understand what was going on. Collecting my wits I tried to fight back. My body had gone numb. I was helpless watching as I was pulled up and up…

The night air was cold and brittle. Hitting the ground I fell forward. The light had disappeared. Coughing as I was I couldn’t even stand up. So someone helped me up.

“Are you alright?” The voice echoed around in my head.

Unable to respond the person picked me up. My body ached. My lungs were afire. Like they hadn’t breathed since I entered the light… Lights passed over head… Voices and more people tried to talk to me. But I couldn’t make out anything they said. We stopped moving and so did the sounds. I was set down on cold stone. The night air chilled me to the bone. The person wrapped a blanket around me. It helped but not much.

Trying to see, I turned my head. We were still outside. The one that was helping me laid a cloth over my head. The heat warmed me. It was a woman. She took me by the hand. Warmth spread from her touch into the whole of my body. Straining to see she smiled at me. Rest now child, it is over The face leaned close to me. Soft purple eyes looked into hers. Her long white hair tumbled around me. sleep… I felt so weary. Closing my eyes I felt something I hadn’t in a long time…

safe…




Remember? When I held you in my arms? How safe you felt? You must remember…

“Naru?” Maliks’ voice came unsteady
“humum…” Came her response

A worried frown came over my face. After she had passed out in the hallway she kept mumbling in her sleep. As if the thing haunted her even in her sleep. She must wake up… oh Naru…

Her eyes opened and she sat up. Looking around the room confused her eyes rested on Malik and she smiled. Tears of happiness fell down as she leapt into his arms. Comporting her as best he could, he was kinda confused on what to do.

Pulling away at last she said, “You saved me! Oh, Malik… thank you. I love you so much…”

A man walked into the room. He was one of the guards that had seen the thing before it disappeared. Shaking his head sadly he gave a report.

“The thing is no longer here. We’ve searched everywhere.” Malik nodded and he left.

Saying more to himself than Naru he said, “I think so fresh air will do us some good.”
“I agree.” She said

They both stood and went to the door that led out side. Opening it the light of the full moon glowed on them. Looking to Naru I nearly gasped. She looked so beautiful right then that I lean down and kissed her. She smiled at me and, taking my hand, we walked.

The stillness was peace in its self. It lifted my heart, but then sunk it again. If anything had happened to her…

Naru stopped practically jerking him back with her. She stood with her mouth gaped open. Looking over to see what it was I saw her. A being bathed in white light. She shifted her hand and they saw a person on the ground. Gasping Naru ran forward.

“Danielle!”

Following close behind I kept my eyes on the glowing thing. Its hair was white, probably from the light, and it had purple eyes. Drifting away it only smiled at him.

“Malik! Help me get her inside. She must be freezing out here.”

Reaching down I picked up her friend. How had she gotten here? More importantly how did she know where to go? Naru approached the being and, before I could say anything, She thanked it. It wasn’t until then that I noticed the white star on her forehead…

“Please Great Spirit take this as a token of my appreciation.” She took off a ring she was wearing and extended it to the thing. Taking it it smiled at her and placed a hand on her head. She glowed softly for a moment. Naru for showing me kindness I will bestow upon you a protection spell. Though it be to late to help this night it can no longer overpower you. Take care of your friend. With that it vanished.

Returning to his side they took Danielle down to the healers. ’Please, let her be alright…
