Day 1 of owning house
Time 9:00am
Weather: Slightly cloudy, temperature around 75 degrees.

Darek was in the slums where he spent most of his free time lately. After all when you got only an hour a day to work you try to make the most of it. Darek thought to himself as he Looked around the house he had just bought the other day from the young red headed women with emerald green eyes. " Sad she had to leave, I could have used someone to man this place while I'm not here." Darek said as he looked around the entryway. There was a closet to his left, and a big mirror to his left. Besides the mirror the wall was bare. " First thing I got to do is do remolding around here. " Darek said as he looked at the door. " Ok gun in the peep hole." Darek said as he looked at the door. " Also I need to call Zelena's friend to get a new door installed this wont wont do." Darek said looking at his front door that was weather beaten and looked like the wind could knock it down. Next Darek went into the living room and looked around the area, " Besides the window this should be good." Darek said as he went over and put a small black x on it from the marker he was holding. Then he went to the notepad he was holding and wrote under new door, " Bullet proof mirrored windows." and then he walked around the house putting a small x on each and every window inside the house. " Six windows, need to ask Zelena if she knows anyone who dose that as well." Darek mumbled to himself as he continued his walk around the house.

The bathroom had no window and was quite simple, it served the purpose it had to and nothing more. " nice simple and easy, I like it." Darek said as he walked out and back into the living room. " Now the kitchen." Darek said as he walked back to the entry and then crossed over to the opposite side of the house where a decent size living room was with a few cabinets and a fridge. " Ok Gut out kitchen and make it more stylish for Zelena's cooking and a table. And need a bigger fridge." Darek wrote down as he did a final sweep and saw that the Big window in the kitchen over looked the ocean beneath. " Escape route maybe." Darek said as he then walked out of the room and went to the entry and followed the stairs up the stairs where there were three bedrooms, two were identical, the third was a bit bigger. " Zels room." Darek said as he saw it. He could easily make this room to her liking, and it was the only room upstairs with a view of the ocean behind it. " Basement time." Darek said as he went down to the basement and inspected. " Ok I need to find a way from the sewers into here so I can make an escape route down here as well. Darek said. " But that would be much later, maybe in a few months, after the house was impenetrable, then he would work on exploring the sewers, and if he couldn't get there easy he would hire elementals to make him a path. Darek then looked at his cell phone and saw that he had ten minutes to get back to HQ. Well time to go. Darek said as he walked up the stairs and called HQ to tell them he was on his way back. Then he shut his phone off and put it on the charger in the room that would be his. Time to leave.

Day 2 of owning home
Time 9:00pm
Weather Foggy with rain Temperature 68 degrees

This was Dareks second day back and today he had brought a crate full of sensors with him. To sneak the crate around he made it invisible and carried it under his arm. With the conditions outside, and Dareks ability to bend light he had no real worries though. All were inside there house, well all except the women that he saw at almost every street corner. It sickened him to see his fellow elementals put down to such a low life,to have to sell there bodies to earn enough money to fed there family's. Then a few blocks away he saw two men picking on one of the girl's on the street corner, at first he was just going to leave it be, but then he saw that it was the women who had sold him the house and he knew he couldn't just stand there and watch as they backed her into an alleyway. " Leave her alone." the sixteen year old Darek said to the two grown men as he put the crate down and took off his sunglasses, letting his milky white eyes and his demonic face tattoo do the talking. " Well look what we got here a little boy who thinks that hes going to ruin our fun. Why don't we show this child what happens when you get in adult business." One of the men said to his partner. " Yea let's do it Mikey." The other man said as they let the red headed women drop to the ground and they picked up two led pipes from the floor and started walking towards Darek.

" I strongly advise you to put that pipe down and walk away sir's, otherwise you may not be walking anywhere for a while." Darek said his voice becoming more animalistic as they drew closer to him. " O look the boy thinks he is the one that's going to be hurting us. What a joke." The one called Mikey said to his partner as he took a swing at Darek with the led pipe. Mikey came down with a hard swing for Darek's left side but Darek only leaned into the swing and hit the man square on the wrist, making him drop the pipe. " You made your choice." Darek said as he then continued to kick in Mikey's kneecap making it pop out the other end. Then Darek turned to face the other man who was just about to attack him from behind. " Your choice, end up like him or walk away." Darek said as he stood up to his full height of a little over six feet. " Your ass is mine." The guy said as he swung the led pipe and connected with Darek's jaw making him dizzy for a moment which led to three more shots being landed on him, all in his ribs. Darek locked the pipe in place using his arm on the man's forth swing and then head butted him square in the nose. " Maybe next time someone will choose choice B." Darek said as he wiped the blood from his forehead onto the prone bodies at his feet. Then remembering the women he turned and held out his hand. " Are you ok? I'm the man you sold the house to yesterday and it looked like you needed some help." Darek said trying to make small talk so she wouldn't be frightened.

Elizabeth looked on as the young boy beat down her to assailants, not knowing whether to fear this new stranger even more then the last two or not. Then she recognized the face from the other day and reorganization kicked in, " O my...Thank you Mr.... you know I didn't get your name when I sold you the house." Elizabeth said as she looked at Dareks outstretched hand and took it. " Nor will you get it this time I'm sorry to say." Darek said as he helped her up out of the muck on the floor. " What is a women like you doing out here anyways?" Darek asked as he looked her up and down. But he couldn't tell if her clothes were supposed to be torn the way they were or if the attackers had gotten to them first. " I..I was on my way back from work." Elizabeth lied to Darek as she started patting herself clean. " I'm a very busy women after all, and I just got out of work...I was starting to walk home and well you know the rest." she said her eyes down cast. Darek watched her body language and knew what she had really been doing, them two had just taken it to far and had tried getting something that they couldn't have, but so that he didn't embarrass her he accepted her answer and took of his trench coat for her and said " Why don't I walk you the rest of the way home. I'm sure it's not that far." Darek said letting her take his trench coat which she did hastily as she wrapped it around her slender form. " Thank you, it's only a few houses away from yours actually...Mr...what may I call you since you wont give me your name? It's quite odd to thank someone properly if you do not know there name after all." Darek thought long and hard as he kept walking with her by his side for the walk towards there houses. A block later Darek looked at her and said with a smile " You may call me Talon." Darek said as he looked into her bright emerald eyes, his own hidden behind his sunglasses once again. " Well in that case thank you very much Talon, I hope I see you around here more often. After all it's not everyday a young man comes to the rescue." She smiled at him her dimples rising as she hugged the jacket closer to her. And with that they came to there street. " Well I guess this is goodbye?" Elizabeth said as she looked up at Darek. " Maybe another time Elizabeth. " Darek said as he read her name of his sunglasses which confirmed what her profession was, then as an after thought Darek went up to her front porch where she was standing and held out his hand. " May I have my coat back? " he asked kindly, something he didn't do often. " Maybe tomorrow." Elizabeth teased as she took off his trench coat and handed it back to him. " Thank you again." she said as she waved goodbye to him, but he was already gone, as if the night had swallowed him whole.

Once Darek was sure she was in her home he went to his own house. He had wasted a lot of time today and would have to be quick with setting these sensors up around his own home. So before he even went inside he placed three on his front porch in between the walls that were on both sides of the door, one on the bottom one in the middle, and the final one on the very top, so that no one could get by his front door without setting off alarms. Later on he would have flame throwers hidden into the walls so that when the sensors went off whatever had crossed them would become fried. Once done Darek went into the house and got his cell phone and turned it on, listening to all the messages as he went around the house, putting sensors in all key entry locations, Including another nine in the entry hall way. Three one the way to the living room, three on the way to the kitchen, and another three covering the stairs. Then Darek went and got all the windows covered with sensors and all the door ways so that there was no way to enter a room or even the building without being known. Next he took out all the sensor pagers and called up his friend and had him walk Darek through the steps to set them all to the same frequency. Once done Darek said thank you and shut his cell phone of for the night and left, arming all the alarms once he had left and locked the place up. " Breaks over, time to go back to work." Darek said as he took to the sky and flew to HQ where Zelena should be waiting for him.

Day 3 of owning house
Time 5:00PM
Weather Sunny, 76 degrees. Sun is just beginning to set

It was just another fine day in which Darek was on his way to the slums. Everything seemed different to him though, an eerie silence had fallen over the place and fewer people were outside. "Must be because of the little thing last night." Darek said to himself as he continued walking down one of the main roads. Darek like last night was carrying a crate with him, but this time the crate was filled with video cameras for him to start setting up in and around the house. Three blocks later he took a left onto Regan road and followed it down another three blocks before turning right and coming to his street.

Once he turned onto his street he could see quite a few things different. The first and most important was the house where the women he had dropped of last night was no longer there, from what he could see it was burnt to the ground. Second he could see some tape cutting of access to the last three, or now two houses, saying Elizabeth's had been burned to the ground. And third there were no cops in sight, only thugs, most of them were near the burnt down house in a circle, but a few were blocking of entry to the street. This was going o be fun. Darek thought as he advanced going to walk down the street. " Hey you stop right there this is a crime scene." A small rat like looking man said to Darek in a very high pitch voice. Well my house happens to be over there and you will be wise to stay out of my way." " Darek said in no mood to deal with simpletons. The little man not knowing what to do called some of his bodies over and then with a new found power coming from having all his friends around him he told Darek to leave. " I don't think so, and if that's all you got for help I suggest you start running before this gets messy." Darek says as he illuminates his face tattoo in a dark light that is just bright enough to make it glow so that it was visible to all of those around him.

The leader of the group hearing Darek turned around from the main circle around Elizabeth where they had been beating her for answers about the boy who had just so kindly walked to them. " Well my boy I think we have a situation." The leader said as he called the rest of his goons to follow him and to leave the battered and bruised Elizabeth where she was. " You see you happen to hurt a few of my boy's last night trying to save this young women, and well in doing so you hurt my boy's. And as you see we have come to pay you back for what you did to us. This can go one of two ways now listen good child...." The leader said as all 24 men grouped together now in front of Darek. Darek only put down the crate he was holding and pulled out his Scorpions, " No this can only end one way." Darek said as he sucked all the light on the block into him making the area complete black so that no one could see inside the radius of the block. " You think you can attack a poor helpless women and get away with it? Well your wrong and its time your type of scum goes extinct." And with that Darek began shooting down all his men, all of them ran in the darkness, but not being able to see only made them panic more and easier targets to Darek and his two scorpions. Finally it was only Darek and the leader. " Now here is your choice Kill yourself after you beg for her forgiveness or die with your men. Choose quickly." Darek said as he let the man see where Elizabeth was but nothing more. Darek then watched as the man went up to Elizabeth and put his knife to her throat. Wrong move, Darek thought as he shot the knife out of the mans hand and it went flying into his throat. Then he threw up the darkness around Elizabeth again and quickly got rid of all the bodies.

Once Darek was finished he took down the darkness and went over to Elizabeth. " Come on, you can stay in m home." Darek said as he went and helped her up. Saying he had already put the crate with his cameras on his porch he had nothing to worry about. " Thank you again Talon...I don't know what they would of done if you hadn't come at that time...It seems you have the best timing." Elizabeth finished as she took Dareks hand and stood up. Once she stood up though she immediately began to fall to the ground, her own legs not able to support her, Darek quickly caught her and lifted her up into his arms. " Looks like I'm carrying you. " Darek said as he walked all the way to his house and shut off all the motion sensors. " Now please don't do anything in here without me, you may get killed, this house is rigged so none can break in and it would be in your best interest to stay put where I leave you once I put you down in my bedroom saying its the only one with a bed and table in it at the moment." Darek said letting it all sink into her head. " Is that ok with you?" He then asked letting her know she did have a choice in the matter. Elizabeth only shook her head at him as she saw, and felt the sixteen year old boy carry her as if she weighed nothing. She then watched as he walked her up a flight of stairs and went into the door all the way on the left hand side and laied her down in the bed. " I'll only be downstairs, if you need anything just call." Darek said kindly to Elizabeth as he walked out of the room and went to work.

Darek then went out to his front porch and retrieved the crate of security cameras and began placing them around the house. One where the light bulb used to be on the front porch over looking the door, and another on the door right beneath the peep hole. Next he went inside and installed three in the four in the entryway. One right into the ceiling above the door to walk in, another looking directly at the stairs, and the last two on the small dividers that divided the entry way from the living room and kitchen. Once done there he went and installed the rest around the house, taking a good half hour to do so. He then went to his fridge in his kitchen and took out a bottle of water and a bag full of some meat they called ham. " Hope this keeps her happy for the whole time I'm gone." Darek said to himself as he went up stairs to his bedroom. " I am going to be leaving so I brought you up some food, I wont be back till tomorrow. I don't know what time so don't ask. My only rule is don't leave the house, if you try with my sensors on they will activate a group of guns that will shot you down on the spot." Darek lied as he calmly explained what would happen to her, "if" he had gotten his whole entire security system installed."

The whole half hour Darek had been working Elizabeth had been looking around his room from his bed, nothing was different from what she could tell but she knew not to let appearance alone tell you about something so she waited for Darek to come up to her, and when he did she was extremely happy because he had food with him. Then when she heard what he told her she looked at him and said " But Talon you just got here not even an hour ago, why have a house if you don't even spend time in it? Or is it because I am here." Elizabeth asked. Darek only shook his head, " I'm a very busy man and don't have much time to lay around and do nothing. And no it's not because you are here. I have to get back to work. Now if you need me just hit this button." Darek indicated to the number 1 on his cell phone. " It will set of an alarm that will go straight to me and then I will look through the video cameras in my house and see whats wrong." Darek finished as he then tucked the blankets around her. " And don't worry no one will bother you here." Darek said as he went to the door. " Get some sleep and goodnight." Darek said as he shut the door and then walked down the stairs and out of the house, leaving the food and water in the bedroom. He then activated all the outside and window sensors and then went flying back to HQ a small screen in his pocket in which he could access all the video cameras from.

Day 4 of owning house
Time 6:00am
Weather Humid and foggy. Sun is just starting to rise.

Darek woke up early that day and went off on his hour of free time to his house. Hopefully Elizabeth had listened and stood inside Darek said as he quickly wrote a note to Zelena that he would be back in an hour, that he had to take care of some business at his home. Once he was done writing the note he put it in front of the waterfall and then went out her front door and began going to the slums.

As Darek flew he felt the air rushing past him, the freedom of having nothing restrain his freedom and he then took a direct route to the paint store in the slums, when he got there he went and landed in a back ally where a few bums were sleeping. Darek quickly put his wings away and walked to the front of the store and then inside. Once inside Darek went to an ATM machine inside and took out one hundred dollars. Then he went up to a clerk and said to him, "I'm painting my house and need 6 gallons of black paint, and two paint rollers." The clerk only looked at him and pointed to the next isle. " Down there you will find everything." The man said tiredly before going back to drinking his coffee and ignoring the customers. Darek followed where the clerk had pointed and found everything he wanted easily. Once he had everything he needed he went to the front desk and paid for it. " Have a nice day." the girl at the register said as Darek walked out of the store. Darek then went into the coffee shop next door and order a black coffee and had everything else put in a bag so it could be added later. Once done paying for it he went home with the coffee and the painting materials.

A few blocks later Darek arrived at his house, he quickly checked all the security cameras on the inside using his screen he had in his pocket. Once he knew no one was inside besides Elizabeth he turned off the motion sensors and walked inside. " Coffee." Darek screamed up the stairs as he went into the kitchen and put the coffee and sandwich he had bought for her down on the counter. Then he walked into the entry way with the painting materials he had just bought and began opening a gallon and started painting.

Elizabeth woke up to Darek's, also known as Talon to her, voice calling and telling her that he had coffee. Quickly she got up in the clothes she was in, the only clothes she now owned since her house was burned down last night. " Morning Talon." Elizabeth said as she yawned and stretched, her red hair falling in locks around her shoulder. Darek only nodded his head as she passed by him working on painting the entry. " So odd that he would be painting the house black." She thought as she saw all the materials that he had bought before coming here, then she saw the amazing cup of coffee and her mouth watered, it watered even more when she saw the sausage egg and cheese sandwich he had gotten for her. She quickly ate her food in silence as she watched Darek take off his trench coat and put it onto the kitchen sink with his shirt. " Thank you Darek. For the food and for letting me stay here." Elizabeth said as she walked over to him and went to give him a hug only to have him back away. " I don't know you, you don't know me. Therefore we don't touch." Darek said, not with any venom, but so that she knew that though he was letting her stay there that he didn't trust her yet, and if it came to it he would have no problem throwing her out. " Do you have anywhere else to go? " Darek asked her, not once taking his eyes of his work of painting the entryway. " No I do not." Elizabeth said as she looked at him, " But if you let me stay here until I get a new place I could help you fix this place up and all." Elizabeth said as she looked at Darek who had finished half of the entryway already with paint. " I know you will help if you want to stay." Darek said as he looked straight at her for the first time. " And the first thing you will do is go bye some clothes so you have something to wear besides that." Darek said as he handed her a fifty dollar bill. "Once you get back I will not be here, your only other job will be to paint the three rooms upstairs. I don't care what you do for the rest of your time, just make sure you get your job done if you want to keep a roof over your head." Darek finished as he then went back to work finishing up the entry way and going now to the bathroom which he had already covered so nothing would get covered in paint.

Elizabeth only listened as Darek told her what she had to do while she lived there and was quite pleased with how little she really had to do. And she could still have her job as well at night and not worry about what he did. This would be easy. " Thank you for everything Talon, I'll be back and start right on this. You wont regret it." Elizabeth said as she ran out the door and went shopping. Darek soon finished his work in the bathroom and started on the living room before he left for the day, leaving the sensors off and setting them so that when she walked inside they would turn on.

Day 5 of owning house
Time 12:45pm
Weather Sunny 78 degrees
Amount of money left in bank 1,000 dollars

Darek left Zel in the middle of the afternoon when she was with her friends and fellow agents, he had come to trust those she was with and felt comfortable in leaving her alone at such an odd time so as he left he went over to there gun expert and asked " What would be the best gun to hook up to a door's peep hole so that whenever someone tried opening it it would fire off a shot? "
" Well that could be just about any gun in this whole place, pick one up and there you go. But if you want my personal opinion I myself would go with this baby." The man said as he held up a .45 caliber colt revolver with long barrel, its my most sold, and it always gets the job done." The gun expert said as he took it out of he glass case.



He then handed it over to Darek for Darek to feel it out. Once Darek was happy with it he said "I'll take it and and a hundred dollars worth of bullets as well. I want to be stocked up just encase." He then was rung up for 400 dollars and was happily on his way back to his home. Speaking of his home, Darek began to wounder what Elizabeth had done the day before when she had gotten back. And so without wasting anymore time Darek took his bag full of ammo and his gun which was holstered on his belt and waled up to the roof from which he turned himself invisible and flew the all the way to the Slums.

All of yesterday Elizabeth had worked on the job Darek, her new landlord as it seemed had given her to do. With no source of income she had to do as he said to live there and so she had painted the rooms without complaint once she had gotten back home from shopping in the thrift store in the slums. While she was there she bought a Nice emerald green dress that matched her eyes,

A night black and red night gown for bed,

a pair of jeans, and a red button up shirt with black lace.

All of this came to forty dollars leaving her with ten dollars to get food for the next two days. What she wasn't expecting was Darek at noon the very next day to just walk in as if nothing new was going on and walk straight upstairs to inspect her paint job. No good morning, no how was your night. Nothing.

Once he got to the house he walked straight in, shutting off the sensors for just the second he walked by them and turning them right back on after. Once he got inside the house he walked straight up stairs, ignoring Elizabeth who was in the kitchen painting in her old clothes which were now covered in black splatters of paint. When he got up to the top of the stairs he was truly surprised, not only had she done what he had asked, but she had also cleaned the place up quite a bit. Not a layer of dust was on the little furniture that she had left in the house, nor was there a crumb on the floor. The paint was perfectly done. " I got to hand it to her, she's a hard worker." Darek admitted to himself as he heard her footsteps coming up the stairs. He quickly walked over to his phone and turned it on, no missed calls was always a good thing.

Elizabeth stormed up the stairs a few minutes after Darek had walked up there and with a sour face said to him " What no good morning, just checking up on my work. You couldn't tell from me painting downstairs that I was done up here Talon." Elizabeth complained as she looked Darek straight in the eyes, the earth elemental was not happy and the little vibrations in the house showed it.

Darek laughed when she got in his face, " Good morning. Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today Elizabeth or are you always this needy?" Darek asked though he could clearly see that she was not a needy person, the exact opposite in fact. Then he felt the house begin to shake slightly with her anger and he put his hands up. " I'm just joking, my first bad joke and someone already wants to kill me." he laughed to himself as he watched her flip her hair at him and walk right back down the stairs. " Well I guess your not hungry, since your walking away from me and back to work after all. O well, guess I'll just leave this money here for someone else to go get some food with." Darek said as he dropped another 50 on the table.

" Your an ass, I don't know why I thought you were kind." Elizabeth said as she went over and took the money off of the counter and put it in her pants pocket. " I don't know why you thought I was kind either. " Darek laughed as he went over to the basement door and unlocked it. " This is the one place in the house you are not allowed to go without my permission, you got that." Darek said in a commanding tone as he stood in the door way leading to the basement. " Yea I got it, so can I go down there with you now?" She asked him as she gave him the puppy eyes. Darek only smiled and told her to get a paint can and brush once she did so he took them both and shut the door, locking it from the inside so that she could not get in. He then went down the flight of stairs and went over to a bench where he put down the new gun and all the bullets for it. Next he began to paint the room until it, like the rest of the house was pitch black, just the way he liked it. Once done about a half hour later he looked at his sunglasses which told him he had fifteen minutes left and so he went and loaded the gun, putting the rest of the bullets in rows of 15, 23 rows deep. He then walked upstairs and unlocked the door only to re lock it once he got out of the basement into the entryway.

Once Darek locked the door on her she right away took of with the money and went food shopping. Once she was done a half hour had passed and she just walked in, a bag full of food in her hands as Darek just got done locking up the basement. " O your still here." She said with an angry tint in her eyes that she used to hide away the feeling of sadness in the fact that he didn't trust her down there, after all what could be down there that she would be afraid of. She thought to herself only to be brought back to reality by Darek's voice saying nice to see you to. Maybe next time I'll let you find your own food money. And with that he left her, with no job to do for the day, and she enjoyed the peace and quite as she made a quick meal of steak and eggs with a side of fries. After she ate she went and took a shower, and then went to bed.

Darek is now down to 550 dollars to all who are paying attention to the money, Like you Zelena. Lol just teasing ya.

Day 6 of owning house
Time 12:00am (Midnight)
Weather Stars are out in the sky but only few are seen, it is a crescent moon outside, and it is 50 degrees outside.
Amount of money left in bank 550 dollars


Darek had went out late that night when Zelena was asleep, as always he left a note where only she would notice it so she knew where he was and how to get a hold of him if she needed him. More then likely she wouldn't but you never knew. He then made his way to the slums.

Elizabeth had spent most of her day looking at magazines of furniture, after all if she was going to live there she needed to do something all day. Did the boy expect her to sit around and clean all day. Not her, she wanted to be productive and hated being cooped up all day in a tiny house, so around 1:00pm she went for a walk around the slums. It was amazing how bright everything was after living in Darek's house for the past two days, her eyes had become accustomed to the darkness, so she was surprised when she saw her fiance running up to her calling out to her. " O my god Elizabeth I thought you were dead, when your house burnt down all of use went looking for you but you were no where to be found. Where have you been all this time? Are you ok?" he asked her question after question as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her to him. " Calm down, I'm perfectly fine William. I've been with a friend. Well I've actually been by myself in a friends house....It's complicated to explain." She finally said as she was smothered by her fiance.

A few hours later the two had caught up and he had invited her over his house for the night. " Come on I'm sure your friend will understand, after all I do know all of your female friends and they have my number. Actually I think we should go and call them right now and tell them your ok." William said as he took her by the arm and began dragging her towards his house. " I don't think that would be the best idea, this friend doesn't exactly have a phone at there house, and they are expecting me home at the normal time..." Then she felt him begin to drag her and she looked at William. " Stop it William, your hurting me, I want to go home. Let me go." She said as she started pulling to no avail at his hand that was holding her arm. " Who is this friend your staying with? And why are you expected home by a certain time?" William asked as he came to a complete stop. " You ain't staying with another man are you Elizabeth." William asked, a controlling tone coming onto his voice.

Elizabeth then told him about Darek as she knew as Talon and how he had saved her and given her a place to stay. " So you have been in another mans house and haven't come to see me because you have been shacking up with some little sixteen year old, you are a hoar like the boys on the street said you know that. Get away from me and don't come back." William said as he made the metal engagement ring on her ring finger fly into his hand. " We are over hoar." And with that he took of, leaving her all alone in the middle of the slums, crying her eyes out. But in fact he had been the one cheating on her and had just been waiting for a way to break it off, because in fact he was sleeping with three of her friends.

She made her way home an went straight to her bedroom and cried herself to sleep there, a bottle of cheap wine on the side of the bed half empty.

When Darek arrived at the house he could tell something was wrong, people were looking out there windows, and had quickly ducked inside when they saw him turn. " So who shall it be today? " Darek asked himself as he passed by the sensors and walked inside his house. When he walked in he could feel the difference in the house and quickly ran up the stairs and opened his bedroom door. What he saw inside was Elizabeth curled up in a ball, fighting back tears, a half empty bottle of wine on the side of her and a box of tissues in her hand. " Are you ok?" Darek asked as he slowly walked over to the bed where she laid.

Elizabeth heard Darek and only began to cry more as she heard his question. The boy was only trying to help her, but in doing so he had only made matters worse. " No I'm not fine, my fiance just left me because he thought I was sleeping with you." She cried as she threw the box of tissues at him. " Why would he think that,why why why." She cried as Darek sat on the bed and held her close to him in a comforting manner. Elizabeth Then laid down against Dareks hard body and sobbed into his chest. " Tomorrow when I come home how about we go make this boy see what he lost? You put on some pretty clothes, and I'll have a friend help me get...suitable to go out, dose that sound good? " Darek asked her as he brushed her scarlet hair out of her face. She shock her head yes and then asked Darek not to leave her till she was asleep and so he sat there with her in his lap until she was fast asleep forty five minutes later and he left, looking the doors to the house and making sure all sensors were on.

Darek woke up at his normal time of seven and had gotten ready as best he could to ask Zelena his big favor. He had gotten coffee ready for her, and even made breakfast from her fridge. On the outside Darek was perfectly calm, a spitting image of a disciplined warrior, but on the inside he was going crazy. How the hell was he going to ask Zelena for the help with the date he had that night with Elizabeth. In truth he still could barely stand people food, and silverware was still something alien to him. And his idea of classy happened to be his trench coat when it came to clothes. God he was screwed he thought as he saw Zelena walk out of her bedroom. "Good morning Zelena, how did you sleep? I made you coffee and breakfast I hope you enjoy. " Darek said as he brought over a cup of coffee and a plate of food over to the living room table and placed it down for her.

Elizabeth slept very little that night when she awoke and saw that Darek had left. " He's so strange." Elizabeth had said to herself as she laid in bed. Around six am she got out of bed and went and made a cup of coffee. Once she was done she remembered about her date with Darek tonight and thought " I don't have any makeup or anything." She then went up stairs and pulled out the green dress she had bought the other day with the money Darek had given her to go shopping for clothes with. If she had only thought about makeup and all her cosmetic stuff she wouldn't be in this mess, " I know I'll just go over a friends." Elizabeth said as she got dressed into her skinny jeans and button up shirt, then she walked down the street to her friends house and arrived there at seven thirty.

[Zelena]

The darkness was shattered by the sunlight as it trickled down through the tinted windows, onto the sleeping face of a woman. Slowly eyes of a bright blue began to open with the innocence that belonged to those that were just beginning to wake. Only to have it replaced with a feeling of irritation as the beam of light entered her eyes that were accustomed to the pitch black of the darkness of sleep. A small and delicate tan hand had found its way on the forehead of the blue-eyed female, her palm facing the upward as she looked up at the ceiling. Her body was sprawled across the bed rather in chaotic manner showing that she like to have the silk white sheets of her bed wrap around her body as she slept. A strong scent came to her sensitive nose, and her eyes narrowed in hazy confusion.

She looked at the entrance way that was hidden effectively by a waterfall that seemed to only fall into a small koi pond in the living room. Her head was still laying lazily against the bed as she thought about the scent… it was coffee. Now who would be making her coffee? Surely Darek didn’t know how to make it yet… maybe that man she had met had somehow found her…no that was too much to hope for. Her thoughts then were focused on that complex puzzle of a man that she had met during the winter season. She had yet to encounter him again, but what she found odd was that she couldn’t find a single trace of him anywhere. She knew what the answer behind her inability to find information on him meant, but she wanted to ignore it. Once again her personal desires got in the way of what needed to be seen and done.

With a light push she brought her upper body up into the air, leaving her legs to lie lazily against the sheets. A loud yawn escaped her lips as she immediately made a motion with her lips that made it seem like she was chewing on a small piece of food. It was basically involuntary and she didn’t really notice her little habit. Waves of messy chocolate and caramel found its way to fall randomly around her body, strangely making her pleasant to look at. A soft sigh was made as the water elemental finally lifted herself out of bed and went to place her black robe over her form, successfully covering over the her rather revealing black night dress. It was a good thing that she didn’t allow Darek in here when she woke up or else she would be yelling at him to get out every morning.

She then made her way over to the waterfall and with a simple hand gesture moved the waterfall in such a manner to reveal the hidden walkway and entrance. With a calmness about her she walked though the opening and then released her concentration to hide once again the entrance way. Azure eyes found the form of a 16 year old that was bringing food to her living room table. The only thing odd about this child was that he had tattoos that made him look like the spawn of some demon. His hair was a piercing black color and his eyes completely white, only a light grey outline of his irises showed that the boy was really not some demon… if you were brave enough to look him in the eyes. Another sigh was released. Something was up, if there wasn’t something the boy wouldn’t go through so much trouble to make her any kind of dish.

She had found that the child had an odd sense of taste for eating things rather raw or close to it, the result of him living in the woods most of his life. There was a stillness was about him but she could sense that his mind was at work. She had met many who could hold their body still while the thought deeply, some who couldn’t do it, and others that had complete control over their body and mind. Darek was the first set, the kind of individual that had control over the body but little control over the mind. “Thank you Darek for breakfast and the coffee. But I know you don’t do this often and I can sense that something is on your mind. Tell me what is it that you wish to ask or tell me?” As Zelena spoke she had sat down on her favorite spot on the couch facing the tinted windows that allowed her to see the busting section of Eira. The cup of coffee was in hand and the plate was left on the table. She liked to drink her coffee first in the morning then her food. Surely Darek had taken note of this unless him mind was too distracted at this point. She was slightly curious about what his response to her would be, but quickly tossed it aside. She knew that she would find out soon and there was no use to ponder on it long. “So?”, she asked him before bringing the china cup to her naturally pink lips.

[dantieduurden]

Darek watched as Zelena made her way to the couch, her black robe following her until she sat down and it softly bent around her. Darek would never admit it but like many men he thought Zelena as beautiful. " I...I need to ask you a favor." Darek said as he stood in front of her after she asked him what was wrong. " You see there's an earth elemental living at my house with me and I promised to go out to eat with said person. And they are expecting me tonight and I have no idea what I'm doing because I can't go out to dinner without you, and we all know my table skills and dress appeal. " Then Darek hear Zelena's phone ringing and brought it to her, if he had checked the caller id he would have known that it was his cell phone that was calling the house.

Elizabeth hearing no answer at her friends door went and opened up Darek's cell phone. There had to be someone in here she could call that wouldn't kill her. " Now let me see...O" Elizabeth said out loud as she began running through his contacts. There was every kind of business you could find in his phone from animal centers, to weapon facilities. Not once did she come across a name until she got to the bottom. " Zelena's house. This should be promising." Elizabeth said to herself as she hit the call button and the phone began to ring, what she didn't know was that she was calling a celebrate, and the leader of the elemental race.

[Zelena]

Soon the boy answered her question, " I...I need to ask you a favor. You see there's an earth elemental living at my house with me”, she raised her eyebrows at this, “And I promised to go out to eat with said person. And they are expecting me tonight and I have no idea what I'm doing because I can't go out to dinner without you, and we all know my table skills and dress appeal. "


Zelena continued to slowly sip from the china cup with wonderfully brewed coffee as her phone began to ring. The boy then discontinued his small speech as he brought the device to her.

When she looked at the caller id on the phone she quickly looked at Darek questionably before answering the phone, she had noticed that the number was his own cell phone. “This is Ms. Isolda, may I ask whom is calling?” Her voice was rather sweet but held a more intimidating quality.

[dantieduurden]

Darek watched Zelena's face as she looked at him oddly as she answered her phone.

“This is Ms. Isolda, may I ask whom is calling?”
Came the voice through the Dareks phone as the women named Zelena picked up Elizabeth's call on Darek's phone. " Hello Ms. Isolda, you don't know me but we have a muteriall friend and you see I'm having a little problem." Then after taking a breath she continued, " My name is Elizabeth Rose and I'm going out to dinner tonight and I need a fellow females help with trying to look good tonight with him...And who better then one of his friends to help me right..." Elizabeth said a little shakily as she heard Zelena's voice, it not clicking that this was the Zelena Isolda. All the time Elizabeth was trying to do her hair the way she wanted it for tonight.

Darek only watched on in wonder as he waited for Zelena to finish her conversation on the phone.

[Zelena]

A feminine voice answered her from the others side of the phone, "Hello Ms. Isolda, you don't know me but we have a mutual friend and you see I'm having a little problem." When the woman took her breath Zelena raised her azure eyes at the boy in front of her, " My name is Elizabeth Rose and I'm going out to dinner tonight and I need a fellow females help with trying to look good tonight with him...And who better then one of his friends to help me right..." Her voice had turned a bit shaky but the intelligent female noticed that Elizabeth had not connected the dots very well. Maybe it was due to her nerves or something.

“I am sorry but whose phone you are using with or without permission?” Asked the water elemental as she continued to stare at Darek with an expression that was similar to the look a parent gives to their child before they begin to interrogate them. “In fact, the owner of the cell phone you are using is standing before me right now.” Her tone was matter-of-fact and stern. She was interested in the young woman’s reaction, as well as Darek's.

[dantieduurden]

Darek was confused when Zelena gave him a look as if she was his mother about to punish him, and knew he was in trouble when Zelena said “I am sorry but whose phone you are using with or without permission? In fact, the owner of the cell phone you are using is standing before me right now.” Right then and there Darek's face turned a deep shade red both from embarrassment and anger. " Not my permission to use phone. Swear I." Darek said as he held up his hands to Zelena. I had it turned off. Thought it made for only me to be able to use." Darek said trying to say that he thought no one else could get it to work.

Then on the other end of the phone Elizabeth said " He is...O...are you his wife...If so I swear I didn't know I'm extremely sorry." Elizabeth said as she began to panic, I thought this guy was single, I should have known there was a reason he was never around." She said to herself as she waited for Zelena to respond to her last comment.

[Zelena]

Zelena observed the transition of the boy’s calm expression to one of a deep red. She guessed the change was either to embarrassment or shyness.

Then the boy begun to explain, with the little bit of vocabulary that he knew, that he had his phone turned off and that the woman never received permission to use his phone. Meanwhile, the woman on the other end of the conversation seemed to be panicking, as she assumed Zelena was his wife. Thanks to Zelena’s sensitive hearing she could also hear the small conversation that the young woman was having with herself.

It was quite an humorous thought so Zelena let loose a small laugh, “Me his wife?”, she questioned as she allowed her voice to show her amusement but composer, “No, no, no. There is a reason why I am Ms. Isolda, Elizabeth.” She gave Darek and amused smirk as he could no doubt feel the embarrassment now.

“In fact, Darek is under my care… seeing that he is sixteen years old”, her voice was now complete composed but her azure eyes still held the glint of amusement. “How are you Elizabeth?”, her question was straightforward but she couldn’t help but wonder if she would get any more laughs out today.

[dantieduurden]

Darek looked on in horror as Zelena went on to say no I'm not his wife, what was once anger turned to utter embarrassment as she pretty much described him as her child. " Please stop.." Darek begged as he looked into Zelena's eyes, his white ones meeting her blue ones. Then he heard her say with a smile " How are you today Elizabeth." And he put his head in his hands, he was so going to regret this, Darek thought to himself as he could only watch in horror.

Elizabeth was relieved when she found out that Darek wasn't married, but wasn't thrilled when she found out he was only 16. " He's how old... I could have sworn he was 20. " Elizabeth said before answering Zelena " I'm ok I guess. Slightly confused but besides that ok. How about you Ms...and thats when it hit her. " O my god its its. O I'm so sorry Ms. Isolda I didn't know this was you, please forgive me I am a big fan of yours..." And so Elizabeth went on and on in no coherent speech as she began to hyperventilate.

[Zelena]

She watched Darek submit to his embarrassment as he put his head in his hands. She could probably guess that right about now the regret would be settling in, well the boy had to learn some things… older woman were not date-able at this point. (XD)

As for the other woman she expressed her shock at how old the young body guard actually was, believing that he was at least four years older than what he actually was. This whole ordeal was quite amusing and she couldn’t help but think that she actually had some fun blackmail she could use against Darek and this woman if it was ever necessary. She was a compassionate being, but that didn’t mean that she wasn’t a bit… diabolical.

Then Elizabeth went on answering her question, "I'm ok I guess. Slightly confused but besides that ok. How about you Ms...”, and that’s when it hit her," O my god its, its. O I'm so sorry Ms. Isolda I didn't know this was you, please forgive me I am a big fan of yours...", and so begun the incoherent babble of the earth elemental as she continued speaking.

“It is alright. Just make sure you arrive at Eira Casino where I will have someone dress your for tonight’s dinner. I have yet to meet… Darek’s… friend.” She allowed her smirk to grow as her eyes continued to look at Darek with satisfaction. “Just know that he will be on his best behavior. We will then see you for dinner Elizabeth, have a nice evening.” Then a click signaled the end of the conversation.

“Well Darek… I guess we are going for an outing tonight, your first time eating out in public”, the smile never left her face, “Hopefully you are learning some valuable lessons today Darek.” Now her voice was taunting while she scolded him like a mother.

A soft laugh then escaped her throat, “By the way, she is not to know anything of your origins or that you are my personal body guard”, her tone was now serious, “I would hate to have her locked up or killed because she knows too much too soon, not everyone can be trusted… even if you hold their life in your hands.” Setting the phone down she once again grabbed her cup of coffee and took a sip, a composed and calm expression was on her face as she did so.

Her focus was some distant memory as she looked out to the city of Eira once more. “Know Darek that I am the only one that you can trust fully, for I have complete trust in your abilities, do not fail me.” Her voice was soft with emotion but hard enough to speak of the immense strength of her words and soul. Zelena definitely knew that Darek would understand her completely, he couldn’t betray her, he couldn’t harm her, and he could not disobey her; for his task from birth was to protect her.

So she honored that and so from the time she had met him she had decided to make sure that she did the same for him.

[dantieduurden]

Darek watched as Zelena made all the plans, well that was easy, he thought as he saw her hang up the phone, ready for his scolding.

Elizabeth was about to ask what time to get there when the phone hung p on her and she was once again all alone in Dareks house. " So he is in the custody of someone famous and he owns a house in the slums?" This could not get any weirder, Elizabeth thought to herself as she went into the bathroom and took a shower.

Darek looked up and meet Zelena's eyes when he heard the phone get put down and got ready for his scolding. “Well Darek… I guess we are going for an outing tonight, your first time eating out in public”, her smile never left her face as she spoke, “Hopefully you are learning some valuable lessons today Darek.
Darek only got annoyed as she taunted him, " You aren't my mother." were the only words to come out of Dareks mouth to her taunting.

Only then to be laughed at while she continued on as if what he said didn't matter “By the way, she is not to know anything of your origins or that you are my personal body guard. I would hate to have her locked up or killed because she knows too much too soon, not everyone can be trusted… even if you hold their life in your hands.” Zelena said with a series tone, one thing she normal did not have to do with Darek because he always took everything a little to series.

Darek then sat down besides her as she looked out the window as she drank her coffee and listened to her as he was supposed to. “Know Darek that I am the only one that you can trust fully, for I have complete trust in your abilities, do not fail me." And with that Dareks heart was filled with pride as he looked her in the eyes, something else rarely done by him, his white eyes meet hers and he said, " Fail you not. Die I will for you always." Darek said placing his closed fist over his heart and bowing. She was his Ace, his queen, his mistress. She was his life and he had just remembered that just then. " Do what we now? Much need today, time little." Darek said as he rested his pale hand onto her caramel colored hand, yet another thing he never did. For he was taught to never let anyone touch your hands or look into your eyes that you could not trust fully, for your eyes were the windows to your soul, and your hands were what stopped you form being killed, and to a warrior like himself, your most special part of your body that you could only share with those very closets to you.

Elizabeth had just gotten out of the shower and began drying off, the black towels Darek had bought felt amazing as she then grabbed his robe because she had none after drying off and went into her room that Darek had let her use for the time being and got dressed, she had to go tell her parents the news, she thought as she got dressed and got ready to go to the cemetery.

[Zelena]

Blue eyes held indifference as she looked out to the world outside her window, as she attempted to push all of her emotions away from her mind. But she couldn’t avoid looking Darek in the eyes as her made it a point to look at her directly. She noticed the prideful feeling that was showing in his posture and face. It was hard to read his completely white eyes but the rest of his facial expressions usually gave him away.

“Fail you not. Die I will for you always.” Zelena allowed herself to have a small pout appear on her face. She didn’t want to think that he had to die for her; in fact she wanted him to live. Darek bowed while placing his closed fist over his heart. He looked like a knight to her when he did so, a very dedicated a loyal knight.

Her eye softened a bit from her indifferent expression but was gone by the time that Darek had spoken again. "Do what we now? Much need today, time little." A pale hand came to rest upon her delicate tan one. She knew that Darek was letting her know in his own way that he trusted her with his life; and that she was grateful for.

“We will go and get you ready for today while I send someone over to your house in the slums, to pick up that woman that you have living there.” Her face turned back to indifference as she fought the need to smile. “She will be treated to whatever she would need for tonight, and I mean everything”, she paused as she rose from her spot on the chair, "As for myself I will have to cancel any meeting I had planned tonight and schedule them for a later date.”

Zelena walked into the kitchen and placed the fragile cup onto a pad so that a machine and a cleaning process would be used to clean the small item. She watched as the machine worked and when the process was done she placed the cup into the cupboard where it belonged.

Her feet and body turned so that she could move through the automatic glass door into the living room once again. “Now Darek… how are you going to survive the dinner tonight without making a mess?” She looked directly at him was a small raise of her eyebrows. That factor was going to be the most challenging of them all.

[dantieduurden]

Darek got up as Zelena got up and looked at her confused as Zelena said “We will go and get you ready for today while I send someone over to your house in the slums, to pick up that woman that you have living there. She will be treated to whatever she would need for tonight, and I mean everything” Darek's head turned his head at that part and listened intently to her words, trying to decipher what she was saying. "As for myself I will have to cancel any meeting I had planned tonight and schedule them for a later date.”

Darek then said to her after she was finished talking, " What you mean she treated to whatever want tonight? Understand your plans." Darek said saying that he did not get why she was stating that Elizabeth would be treated to everything she wanted to be treated to, but also saying that he understood about her plans needing to be moved. " Thank you." Darek said as he continued to stare into Zelena's eyes.

Darek then watched as Zelena walked into the kitchen and cleaned the cup. Then he meet her half way after she walked out of the kitchen and he smiled as she asked him “Now Darek… how are you going to survive the dinner tonight without making a mess? Darek only showed a toothy grin before saying " Burger rare." He had became quite accustomed to the taste of rare hamburgers, even to steak to an extent, but chicken was still beyond him. " I be fine, you make sure that." Darek said as he waited for her next situation.

[Zelena]

She smiled at his answer, for she was highly amused. “Yes I will. I guess we will make it a mix of some kind of fancy version of… a hamburger”, she giggled a bit at the last part of her response. Of course it was due to her amusement of the situation. Then she recalled his question that he had voiced earlier.

“And about your question, when I say that I will treat her to everything that means I will pay for all her expenses. For an example, a dress, the salon fee, shoes, and etc”, she waved her hand carelessly as she walked back to her room casually.

She parted the water of the falls without too much thought as she told the boy that she was going to change and to not bug her until she came out. She stopped right before she would enter her room and turning her head so she could look at her eccentric body guard. She half smiled, “And your welcome”, she said before she completely entered her room and the waterfall cascaded back to its natural form as the cold liquid fell into the water below it.
