Chapter 20: Untitled

"Kade! Oh good I found you. Have you seen Zuri?" Then he said in his head. 'She should be there by now so I can tell him.' "Hazel there is something you should know." Then he told Hazel what Zuri said.

"That Damn girl! We need to leave. We need to leave now! Kade go see if father is coming with us. If he is tell him to hurry and get his stuff." "Yes brother." 'Good looks like father is coming.' Aiden had gotten the carriage for them and Kade got the baby. "OK lets roll." We all got in the carriage and were off. It was still days before they could get there. They had to go slow because of Rio. They would be anxious and worried all the way there.

They finally made it. Hazel said, "Kade, Father, Meet me over there. I have to drop Rio with Uncle Cass." "OK we will be there in no time." Then they ran and Hazel hurried over. "Uncle Cass!" "Woah what seems to be the problem?" Then he told the elder the situation. "So that is why she was running. Of course I'll take care of the little guy. Go get her. Bring her back safely." "Yes sir." Then he ran off to catch up with the elders.

"Eri! Good I found you!" "Woah now. Hello Kei. What seems to be the problem?" "Do you know what your father is up to?" "I don't understand. What do you mean?" "I mean this." she made her look at the wound. "NO. No way. You….I need to talk to father right away!" "Its ok that is why we are here." "Good I want to go myself and hear it from his mouth." "Ok then follow us."

"Orman! You bastard!" Then Kei punched him in the face. "Ow Kei. What was that for?" "What the hell did you do to Zuri here!" "Dude that hurt. What did I do to her?" See for yourself. "Zuri get over here." "Y-Yes." Then I swam over. "Zuri your demon form is beautiful by the way." "Enough Orman. Look at her wound." Then his eyes went down to her wound. "You got stabbed by the Acacia sword! That idiot! I told him not to do it! I warned him not to!" "Who? Orman who is it? I might know a way to save him from dying." "I will go get him. Guards go get him and bring him here now!" "Yes sir." "I'm so sorry Zuri. I should have kept a close eye on him. Well at least I will have strong powers. I just hope I don't have to be demon forever." "I heard about you turning early. Your body is already strong enough to turn that soon. Even if you do turn demon, there may be a way to revert you back to human. Yes you will still be able to turn demon." "Lets hope that's the case." Then we heard a commotion.

"There he is. Tyde." Then we saw Orman hit the guy. "What the hell were you thinking Tyde! Why the hell did you stab Zuri?!" "How far has she gotten?" "See for yourself. Zuri swim over here." I swam cautiously over. "H-hello Tyde." "Ah Zuri. Glad you survived." He looked at the wound. "I see. Its already progressed this far. Sigh. Just a warning. From here on the transformation will be painful." "I can handle it. I need to know why you did this to me? Do you think your so worthless that no one cares for you? That you have nothing to live for? Look around you idiot! All these people love you. You may not have any more family but you have a million people that love you! I used to think the same way when my boyfriend died. Then my auntie and uncle talked me through it. they said everything will get better. It may be hard to move on at first, but slowly time flows by. That they all loved me and so did my neighbors and friends I didn't even know I had. Now I have a question for you. After what I told you, do you still want to live? Or do you want to die?" "Even if I wanted to live its too late. Once the power activates I'm dead." "Maybe not." "What do you mean?" "What I mean to say is if you still want to live, I might have a way. The only difference is you will have to serve me. If you betray me you will die. If I betray you we will both die. It's a spell. Also some of that power will covert to you after we make an agreement. It doesn't mean you can't move freely. As long as you are on the grounds where ever I am you should be fine. Don't worry I won't ask you to get my coffee or anything like that. But I do have a son who is 4 months old. My brother Kade watches him with a neighbor right now. I might have you do things like that or when I need you to investigate something that happened. That is the main thing." "OK but what happens to you if I get killed by someone?" "The power you had comes back to me, and I will feel a sharp pain in my chest for a moment. If I die you will feel it as well. Nothing will happen to you but the power will leave you. You would just be your normal self again. Now when we make this contract, you will have a tattoo with the mark of my kingdom. Yes I am the demon princess Zuri. So you will have to pick a part of your body you want it at the time and I will make the contract. If we are going to do this, we better hurry."

Orman looked at Tyde. "Tyde you heard her. No causing her trouble all right?" "I'll do my best. After all I am still a teenager." "Oh yeah that is another thing I wanted to ask. How old exactly are you?" "Oh sorry. I'm 18 years old." "Ok perfect. I will be 18 next year. OK mind if I take him with us?" "NO go right ahead." "Sorry I hit you Orman." Said Kei. "Its fine. Its understandable. You though I hurt Zuri." Then Kei punched Tyde in the face. "That is for stabbing Zuri. I'm sorry to have to do this Tyde but he have to bind your hands by magic until the contract is done." "Hey its all good."

Kei and Tyde swam to the surface when I felt a presence of a water demon. "Guys Go. I'll be right up." Kei was worried but he did as he was told. Then not long after I turned around and saw them. Then I started beating their buts and using magic to defeat them quicker. Finally after a long hour I beat there butts. Not without getting hurt though. "Shit. I better make it out. Come on Zuri. You can make it to the surface at least."

I made it to the surface but I couldn't swim over I was too injured. "I…Cant..I'm…Hurt." The Kei jumped in just before she went under he saved her. "Got you Zuri. Lets get you on land so you can get help."

He laid her on the ground. "No Zuri!" Said Kade. "Kade. Hazel. Dad. You made it." "Of course you idiot. What do you think you are doing? Huh?" "I can help her." Said Tyde. I can heal the wound. She faught with a sea demon. Those wounds I can heal. No matter how severe." Then Kei took the binding spell off and Tyde ran to her. "Ok Zuri. I will admit it hurts like hell. At least you will be healed. Here this is to bite into so you don't bit your tongue. Someone who can handle her strength should hold her hand." Then Hazel held one and dad held the other. Then he warmed up his hands and put them on her wound. "Here we go." Then a green light showed up. It was definitely painful. She was trying to scream but the thing in her mouth is keeping her from doing that and it sounds more like a groan.

Finally after awhile he was done. "OK you should be good now." Tyde said breathing heavy as well. "I'm fine I healed you. It depends on the wound. The more severe the wound, the more tired I get. Like I said I'm only 18. I'm still in training for this." "Makes since." Said Kade. "Hazel helped me up. "Ok hands behind your back again." Said Kei. "Oh right," He listened. "Oh I forgot to tell you all. We will have a new roommate. He will be sharing a room with Kade. After we got see Vince we will have a new member. Everyone meet Tyde. The one who stabbed me and will be my servant. I will tell you the details later." "Ok sure. I'll get a bed ready." Then they left back home.

Kei and I took Tyde to Vince's place. 'Knock Knock!' "Just a moment!" Then we heard footsteps inside and Vince came to the door. "Ah you've come at last. This must be the guy right?" "Yes sir it is." "OK come on in." So we followed him in and he shut his door with magic. "So what is that plan Zuri?" "I want to save him. I think he understands now. Tyde why don't you tell him the situation. Why you did this." "Yes maam." Then he told them first what he told me. Then told them why he stabbed me. I had to hear it for my self too. "Let me be honest. The only think I knew about the sword is that I would die. I swear I didn't know anything after that. I just recently found out by Orman, that it could give you power. I'm seriously sorry. I just stabbed the first person I saw." "So it was for no reason other than dying?" "Yes sir." "OK then. Where do you want your mark Tyde?" said Vince. "Wait that's it? You don't want to know why?" "Nope all I know is Zuri wants to save you and that's all that matters." "Ok then. You are really weird but ok. As for where I want to symbol, wait a minute. Will I have to hide it? if so I would have to pick another place." "That would be up to you. Your enemies will see it and use it against you." "Ok fine. I'll hide it then. "Uh… what is a good place to hide something not so obvious?" "Don't worry about how obvious. If it comes down to it, I can hide the contract seal if you need me too." "Ok then. My shoulder blade." "OK then. I put my hand on his right shoulder blade, then Vince made Tyde say an Oath then my seal was transferred to him and I felt that. I know he did too the way he moved.

"You did tell him the rules right Zuri?" "Yes Vince I told him the dying thing and if he betrayed me and vise vera. The places he could go as well." "Very good. Now go back home and settle him in. Kei take that spell off of him now. He can't go off the grounds now." "Yes sir." "Oh and Vince? Do you know anyone that does healing on the surface here? He is still in training. Thanks to him I survived a sea demon wound. I know how deadly they can be." "Hmm. I know of a few people I will ask them and get back to you." "Ok thanks." Then Kei, Tyde and I walked back home to Hazel.

"Hazel I'm home. I brought our new roommate." "Oh perfect. I'll show you to the room." Hazel brought Tyde to the room he will be sharing with Kade. "This is your bed right Here. The other one is Kades. Your dresser is here on your side of the room. Now both of you get along please. Tyde. Be good or I will have to get Zuri to punish you." "Yes sir." "Oh and if you want to changed the blankets, let me know I can get a new set. Same as the mattress." "Yes sir." "Ok then. You can either rest or do whatever. I'm sure you might want to wait. Zuri is off getting our son."

"I'm back with Rio." Then Tyde saw the baby. "This is the little guy? He's so adorable. Hey there little guy. You are so adorable." Then he blew raspberries at Tyde and laughed. "Hey little guy that wasn't nice." Then all of us laughed. "Looks like he is even punishing you." Said Kade. "Hahaha."
