Footsteps in the Night

[Black Wings]

"'T'was'?" My bounce on the bed settled. "Wow, you really are an old style, arn't you?" I began to look around, noticing what little technology there was to prove me wrong. "Hey, is this your room?"

[Apollo]

"M. . . Might be. . ." I looked away and tried to change the subject. "Only thing is in your world, my magic translates the way I talk. "Course talkin' to the General I'll talk like I'm in the military but still."

[Black Wings]

"How long will I be here exactly?" I stopped looking and gazed at him. "And what do I do? I mean, I'm not going to be much of a big help, you know."

[Apollo]

"It's not to have you find you things to do. It's to keep you safe from Him. I'll give you history leesons or teach you to use those powers that seem to be comin' along nicely." I sat down beside her and looked into her eyes, the faint glimmer of something and the pull was so strong. I didn't see how I could stand it but I let myself up to fiddle with something, screening the thought of the pull and feel with winds from the desert.

[Black Wings]

"Sure." I watched him come over and slide beside me. I tamperd with his mind- finding what I could to understand him a bit more. Then I found it... "You're hinding something from me... Spit it out... Well, not literally, but tell me."

[Apollo]

"That 'uns personal so I'll keep that if ya do not mind. . . the point is what isn't personal thought I'll try to explain the best to my abilities." She really will have to stop trying to find out what others are thinking with out a good reason. "cause if not she'll realize every one is hiding something. . .

[Black Wings]

"C'mon!" I yelled in excitement, and tackled him to the ground. The thud was soft but still a bit rough. "Tell me, tell me, tell me! You know you want to!" I got ontop of him, pining him to the ground, then stopping before I realized I couldn't keep seeing him- even if it was for my own good.

[Apollo]

"You. . . ya wouldn't understand. . .just move on and if I thinkit neccessary I might mention it." I grabbed both her arms and lifted her up. "Now besides what was just in my head . . . what do ya want tah know?"

[Black Wings]

"Hmm. What was not-not just in your head. Duh." I gave my arms a tug to free myself from his grasp and pinned him again, this time, both hands nailed to the ground, all my weight on him. "Pleeeeaaaassse?" I dragged the word on.

[Apollo]

"There is no way I gonna tell ya. . ." I'm more stubborn than you are so git over it already. . . I thought to myself knowing she'd try to read my thoughts to see if I slipped up on covering them.
