[Saphire Reign]

Finally I yelled “Alec, Alec, can you get your grumpy butt over here?!” I heard a rustle in the woods behind the man. The man slightly turned as Alec came walking into the open “Bout time.” He glanced at me then at the man “Why are you watching her bathe?” He shrugged “She was pretty.” My face got even redder. Alec continued, “I think it would be best for you to leave, now!”
“Do you even know who I am?” Alec shook his head “I don’t know and frankly I don’t care.” The man’s eyes narrowed “You are Alec the Eastora?” Alec nodded “What’s it to you?”
“Chikao is looking for ya.” Alec’s facial expression changed “What do you know of Chikao?!”
“I am actually one of Chikao’s servants.” Faster than your eyes could see, Alec’s hand was at his throat and he hissed, “I’ll ask you once and only once, where is Chikao?” The man smirked “Did you really think I would answer that?” I could see Alec’s hand begin to squeeze “When you woke up this morning did you plan on dying?”
“If I tell you about where he is, will you kill me?” Alec cocked his head “Depends on if the information is good or not.” “He is near Oka Mountain.” Alec sighed, “If you are lying.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” I cleared my throat “OK, nice talk and all but I need to get out of the water and so…” Alec picked up the guy by the throat and took him into the woods. I rolled my eyes, quickly got out, and got dressed.

I went back to camp and glanced around, Alec was sitting against a tree and Lecto was s the fire, I walked over to him “And why the heck didn’t you come when I called?!” He glanced up at me “Sorry Human.” I sat next to Alec and laid my head on my knees. Alec sighed “Lecto, did you not hear her?”
“No, I heard her but I was busy.”
“Do you remember what I told you?”
“What master?”
“I told you to keep an eye on Alexis.”
“Oh, um, yes.”
“Well, why didn’t you?” I glanced up at Lecto, who was shaking in his boots. Alec laid his head back against the tree, apparently, his message had been sent, and he continued, “At least we know where Chikao is.” I grabbed my pack and laid my head on it, stretching out on the ground “By the way, Alec, what did you do with the peeping tom?” He didn’t even open his eyes “Killed him.” That took me by surprise but I didn’t question him because of how he answered.
