it wasn't for this bond." He sighs.

 

"If it wasn't for this bond, she wouldn't want to kill me. We wouldn't be linked at all, and we wouldn't have any of this drama to worry about!" I blow up at him. "That's why it needs to go. That is what will keep me safe, and that is what I plan on doing one way or another." I finish, and I fly off. I land in the yard to my old house, and see everyone must be done training. I'm just getting warmed up. I need a target. Making a bee-line for the bathroom with Drew in it,  I walk past the group of others and they don't seem to notice or pay attention to me. I use my powers and create an ice key, and slip in the bathroom with him.

 

"Lyra." He greets me, sitting on the floor. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

 

"You're coming outside with me. I need a target." I say, opening the door.

 

"Oh so you're going to make me stand and get ice daggers thrown at me? You think I'm going to agree to that?" he laughs.

 

"It's getting you out of the bathroom, so yes." I sigh  gesturing for him to follow me.

 

"Good point." I hear behind me, and he is following. I hear the other protest behind me, but I just wave my hand telling them to drop it. "Okay... so what exactly do you want me to do? Stand here and let you stab me?"

 

"No, I want hand to hand combat training. You're the perfect person to practice with!" I say, pulling my shirt over my head. Rolling my shoulders and stretching out my arms, I get into a position. He sighs, looking at his clothes for minute.

 

"I'm gonna dirty the only pair of clothes I've been given." He whines, I role my eyes with a slight smile. Yet it's sad how these are the first clothes he has ever worn.  "Can I like take them off I feel more comfortable fighting na-"

 

"No. You're keeping your clothes on... you can take your shirt off and that's it." I stand up, feeling my cheeks heat of embarassment. I remember fighting him naked, definately not something I want to do again. He whips it off like it was burning his skin.  "Are you ready?" I ask getting back into a stance. He just nods, and we begin. I launch myself at him, but I role to the ground. Hopping back to my feet I look around for him but can't see him. He changed into some kind of animal. I feel I sharp sting in my side and swing my arm swatting at whatever stung me. But then I feel it on the back of  my neck, and then my thigh. I hobble around trying to figure out where he is, swatting at the air arround me. He isn't fair.

 

I feel my hand swat something and and I watch as a bee starts to fall, but it changes into a spider landing on the ground. I stomp on it, and watching as he lays in the grass limp and unmoving for a while. He body slowly starts forming back into a human, and his poor shorts are torn up and muddy.  I help him up, and he looks down at his shorts.

 

"I don't like clothing." He states, running a hand through his hair. Dirt and grass fall and he stretches his shoulders. "Round two?" he grins. We both get into our stances, and this time he attacks first. Wrapping around me, using his now snake body, he holds my arms at my sides,  and is tightening my legs to where I'm about to lose balance. I fall landing on my ass, which actually kind of hurts. "Oh so she does have feelings?" He jokes, turning human again.

 

"What is that supposed to mean?" I squirm under him, I'm very uncomfortable with his naked body all over me. "Also you know you are making me very uncomfortable."

 

"Quite frankly, I'm a little uncomfortable with this too." Thayer sighs, standing a couple feet away.  Drew gets off of me and helps me up.

 

"We're just training... Don't worry about it." I give him a quick peck on the cheek.  He narrows his eyes at Drew, and I gently push him towards the house. "He is just a little-"

 

"Jealous. I remember Elijah saying something about him having some jealousy issues."  He sighs, stretching out. I turn looking at him. Elijah talked about Thayer? That sounds like jealousy to me. "You know, Mr. Drake told me a lot about you... he asked me to keep you safe. He knew you would catch me or something I guess. He told me you would be kind and nice. You have been too."  

 

Elijah... told him to keep me safe. To protect me. Holy shit!  I run inside the house, yelling for Theodore. Everyone comes running after me, and asking me what's wrong and telling Drew to put some clothes on.

 

"What!? What are you yelling about!" He swings open the bathroom door, with his bottom half wrapped in a towel. "I'm in the middle of something." He sighs, leaning against the door.

 

"Elijah." I breath, and he looks confused. "Elijah told you to keep me out of the fight! Elijah asked you to keep me safe, and out of harms way!"  Now he gets that look like he just got caught. "What did you two talk about!?" I threaten.

 

"When did you talk to him?" Thayer steps foreward.

 

"Jealous much..." Drew mumbles, and then Thayer tells him he needs to get clothes on.

 

"Why would Elijah ask Theodore to do that?" Asia asks, and Chaston, Sierra, Janessa, and Flora all ask  the same thing. I rub my eyes, wishing I could just have some piece and quiet.

 

"Let me get dressed and I'll explain." Theodore sighs. I close the door for him pushing through the crowd of people now. Thayer follows behind me, but I slam my bedroom door shut locking myself in by myself.

 

"Lyra, let me in please!"  He asks, knocking quietly on the door.

 

"Don't let him in. We need to talk." Elijah says behind me. I whip around, backing away from him. "No need to be scared. I wont hurt you."

 

"Lyra! Who is in there with you?" Thayer  asks turning the knob on the door. "Lyra, let me in!"  Elijah grabs my hand, and moves his other hand up my arm stopping at my cheek. I can't focus on anything! Thayer yelling on the other side of the door. Elijah touching me, he is doing it on purpose!

 

"You have to go!" I say grabbing his other hand, and taking it from my face. Trying to get away from him, I grumble swear words as I realize he isn't letting me go. "Now. Let me go."

 

"Lyra, you need to listen to me." He pulls me in closer. "We're ment to be together. We will figure this out." Our face inches apart. Tension and lust building up about to explode. "I told you I wanted you to be safe. I'm just trying to protect you."

 

"By telling Theodore and Drew to protect me." I sigh.

 

"Donatello also told Drew to keep you safe."

 

"What? Donatello knows he is here!? And hasn't tried to get him back?" I ask.

 

"No. But I told you ealier Donatello wants you safe too. Drew has his orders, not just from me." He says. "You must stay safe. Lyra, if anything happen to you.. I wouldn't be able to live with myself." He whispers,  moving in again, losing those last couple inches between us. Pushing against his chest, I bring back a couple more inches.

 

"Just because you come here and say some romantic words doesn't mean everything is okay, Elijah. None of this is okay! How can't you see that?" He lets go of me. I move as far away from him as I can.

 

"You think I don't? I know how messed up all of this is! I'm trying to protect you, and I come and see you when I can, don't you get it? I'm doing everything I can for you!" He sighs, running a hand through his hair.

 

"No! If you were doing anything remotely good for me and for Spridge, you would stay here with me! Help us protect Spridge, and not be messing around with the queen in and out of bed." I say grabbing the door knob, because Thayer trying to get in is getting a little annoying.

 

"Jealously is an ugly thing Lyra.." he says, with a quick smirk.

 

"It is." I open the door, and Thayer, Sebastien, and Theodore almost fall into the room. "Accept.. I just now realized I'm not jealous anymore. I'm just disapointed." Walk past the three guys.

 

"Lyra," I here Thayer behind me, and I stop in the hall waiting for him. "Come here.." I let him wrap his arm  around me, and I take a couple deep breaths. "So... you're okay?"

 

"Actually I think I am." I smile. He kisses my forehead. I pop up on my toes, smiling. I give him a quick kiss, catching Elijah  Sebastien and Theodore watching.  "We have a world to save."

Chapter 15

 "Alright now that that is sorted out, someone will have to be sure to watch Flora's back as she moves the island. Okay? With it being in the sky that gives them an advantage." I add to our battle plan. We're working on how this fight is going to go down right now. Sebastien and I leading the meeting, and everyone else listening and offering ideas.

 

"I can do that!" Asia raises her hand. "Since this is all going down by the river, it will be easy for me to keep her safe. 

 

"Good point. Okay, then Sierra you are in charger of taking down any air crafts. With the volts of eletricity you can send them crashing down. Creating fire for Janessa on land, then Theodore and Drew will be hand to hand combat." Sebastien pretty much wraps everything up. I smile at Drew, happy he decided to stay here and fight with us. "Everyone else will stay with Lyra in a hidden spot out of the fight zone." I role my eyes, unhappy about that part. But I supposed someone does need to protect the two prince's and the princess.

 

"I'm sure Chase and I can handle it." I sigh, smirking at him. He looks worried, but not scared."Okay, so everyone needs to get good sleep tonight, and be ready for training tomorrow. Even you Chaston, Sebastien, and Thayer. I'm gonna work with you three on some things." I wiggle my eyebrows at Thayer, who smirks.

 

"I'll bet I can whoop your ass." He sighs, laying an arm over my shoulder

 

"Ha." Sebastien laughs. "Have you seen her in action?" He gets up. He waves goodnight, and then we all head our separate ways to bed. Thayer and I lay in bed for an hour talking about Elijah's visit, and about my feelings. I really do feel okay. I'm not heart broken about this anymore I'm honestly not even sad. Just disapointed and a little pissed off. After a long silence Thayer starts humming, knowing it will put me to sleep. I turn over in his hold laying my cheek against his chest, wishing
