ok ppl here is the next part for the ppl who have already read ^


I sat near the back of the cave and sighed, I wondered how my brother’s kid would look now. The day he was killed my brother and his wife found out they were going to have a baby. I sighed and whispered, “Oh, I wonder what my parents would say about me now, or my brother?”

I sensed something near me; a sweet voice sounded near me “Why are you so sad, little one?” I looked up, tears playing in my eyes “Who said that?” A guy was sitting next to me; he put his arm around my shoulder “Did something happen to your family?” I nodded “There all dead.”
“Dead?!” I nodded “The guy out there, Alec, all.”
“And here’s the obvious question: what are you doing with him?”
“Oh, I made a deal with him that if I lost the fight, we had, I would have to work for him for six months.” The man nodded “I have a gift for you.”
“What?” He handed me a small necklace “Here you go.” He put it around my neck “It’ll bring you good luck so don’t take it off, OK?” I nodded “OK.” The man disappeared and I went back to the fire.

I walked out of the cave to see Leah hugging on Alec, I sighed, “Um, do you want me fix lunch now?” He looked over at me “Lecto, help her.” Lecto and I headed to the river to ketch some fish.

Lecto caught the first fish, as he was cleaning it he asked, “How do you like Leah?” I shrugged “I can tell she’s not my favorite person but I assume she’s OK.” He glanced at me “She’s not a little slutty?” I smiled “I was trying not to be so forward.” He nodded “Besides you, she is the person I least like in the world.”
“Ha-ha, very funny but thanks for the vote of confidence there.” He smiled and went back to cleaning his fish.

We went back to the cave and started cooking the fish, we caught a few extra incase Leah was staying for lunch. Alec and Leah came into the cave and sat near the fire. We started eating.

It seemed like all of the sudden Alec noticed my necklace, his face tensed “Um, Alexis, where did you get that necklace?” I reached for it and took a look at the jewel on the end “Oh, this old thing, I’ve had it for a while.”
“How come I’ve never seen it?”
“I don’t know, maybe you’ve never taken the time to look.” He quieted down and started eating. This conversation might come back to haunt me.

Leah finally left us towards evening and the three of us relaxed in the cave. I asked “Alec, what was it that you and Malec sensed?” He sighed, “I don’t think that’s something we need to discuss.” I glanced at him “Um, did I do something to piss you off?” He kept his eyes closed “What do you mean?”
“Well you sounded like you were mad at me earlier and now you just sound not caring.” He huffed “I don’t.” I was a little taken aback “Oh, sorry.” One of his eyes popped open and he sighed, “Do you remember what I had said earlier, about something that happens two days after my bad day?” I nodded “Yeah.”
“Well I’m ticked about that.” I saw Lecto glance at Alec “Um, master-. “ Alec held up his hand “I think she needs to know.” I glanced from Lecto to Alec “If it’s a problem I don’t need to know.” Alec shook his head “No, it’s fine. You know how I’m an Esatra.” I nodded, he sighed, “Well that means I have some, some, limits.” My face wrinkled “What limits?”
“Once a month my limits hit me full force.”
“What limits?!”
“Once a month, on the day when the moon his half full, I lose my powers.” I sighed “OK. What powers that you have do you lose?”
“Well my eye sight, my strength, and things like that.” I was silent, he sat up and opened both eyes “We can’t do anything tomorrow because all my strength will be gone.”
“So, are we going to stay here?”
“No, Leah knows where we are so we have to move.” I smirked “Why? What would she do, she’s just a little .” I held up my hands “No offence intended.” Alec smiled “She’s not as trustworthy as you might think.”
“Ha-ha.” Alec sighed “Lecto, let’s get our stuff around and get ready to leave.” Lecto nodded and starteda- getting stuff around.
