Akana Zalika and Tristan Banks

[Ayrn]

She noticed that the seemed to take an instant liking to the boy that lay on the bed recovering from wounds that would have been fatal if Tristan had not brought him to Akana. She wondered what the girl saw in him already considering that they had not even spoken as a yet though knew that for tonight at least that he would not be any harm even if he awoke he would be too tired and too out of the loop to attempt anything. She was relaxed then as she walked across the hotel room, onto the tile floor of the kitchen and opened the sliding door that would lead them out onto the deck of the hotel. The view in Egypt was a lot different from the place that they had come from. All the green that had been present was replaced by the multitude of shades of sand, even the buildings seemed to blend in. The lights were warm and dull of the shops and streetlights and the streets were quiet at this time of the night since not a lot of people would dare stay out late at night. There were a lot of extremists all over town that no one wanted to mess with. It all looked so peaceful though, it was still warm enough that you did not need a jacket to be comfortable but there was a small breeze that fluttered through the town and rustled the small amount of sand that had settled on the roofs of the houses. When she set her legs on top of his she also moved close enough so that she was nearly in his lap. Tristan, despite what you tell me about not being good for me and being a demon there is a greater part of you that is genuinely good. I see that in everything you do. You protect me, you protect your sister, you even protected the boy you brought here today. The good outweighs the bad in everything you do. She uttered softly allowing the exotic tint to her words to flow freely from her tongue. You are easy to deal with; I understand your motives and understand what is important to you. She told him with a small smile and it was true, she did like to think that she understood the male and knew that every day spent with him she was getting closer to it. When she looked back into the hotel room she saw that Kyrie had fallen asleep holding the boys hand and was looking peaceful as she remained there. Your sister is truly a good person, she is a strong and bold person yet she uses that to help people that are weaker than her. She told him, she felt as though she was really starting to open up to Tristan like she never had before. These words that she spoke were foreign to her and unknown to her to actually speak her mind was something never attempted before. Let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow I want to see how the boys doing and possibly take him back so that we can get some help caring for him. I am no doctor.

He shifted in his chair easily as he felt her warmth raidiate from her hips toward him. She always seemed so warm and snuggle worthy yet he withheld it so much at times, especially now when his sibling was only behind them in the hotel room. His arm had draped around akana now as she begin to speak of the greater self that was inside him. He smiled easily as he took the free hand laying upon her limb and held her chin toward him lightly, "Akana I don't know where I would be without you in my life...and I hope that one day you will completely understand me and never fear me....I have never felt like this for any other person in my entire being and I never want it to fade away." he pulled her near to him and applied a simple kiss to her lips letting it linger for a few moments. His thoughts had drained slightyl from his mind as he sat there watching the small bits of sand whirling about in the wind. He caught her movement looking inside the glass as she spoke of his sister being a great person. He shook his skull looking inside at her laying with hand entertwined inside the boys who lay upon the bed. "I just hope she uses her talents to help people, not to destroy like I have in my time" he smiled briefly he knew Kyrie was an outstanding person and only wished to help those in need. She was much like akana in many ways. Shooulders rolled back as he streatched his arms upward into the air and let them release the tension they had built up from sitting in one place for a while in the same position. His skull nodded slightly as he knew sleep would be a necessity and taking the boy home tomorrow if he was well enough would be a great idea considering the care he was recieving there was not from a medically trained person. His form rose and walked inside as he shed his shirt and chucked it upon the dresser that was in the room. Falling backwards onto the bed he yawned feeling the effect of the days events pulling through his veins. He sighed lightly as he looked toward the dark haired beauty in the same room as him, "you know...she just pointed him out in a cardboard box and asked could I help him...By the time i looked back up she was gone....I can't help but wonder who she is and how they got involved in the situation they are in..." he didnt let it perplex his mind at the moment even though it took him a while before he fell into sleep he had his arm wrapped around the most important thing in his life and he wanted to keep it that way. Thoughts swam through him wondering if one day he could bring himself enough courage to ask for her hand in marriage and even have a family of his own. It was a simple thought one he had never pondered before. Kyrie woke in the middle of the night looking around and unlocking her hand from the boy beside of her. She stood and looked about the darkened room slolwy before it all came to her. The days events and who the boy there was in the same bed as her. Walking to the bathroom she peered into the mirror adjusting herself so and then flicking the light back off. She easily tiptoed through the hotel as to not waken her brother and Akana as she found herself outside in the chilled wind. It was warmer than it was in the states yet after nightfall and well into the am hours it was chilly at least a forty or fifty degrees there. Her vision scanned the quiant place as not many object moved other than the stray cammel that roamed its rope length near by.

It was the first time in a long time that she could remember that she felt completely comfortable with someone else around. Their lives were starting to sync and it was a nice feeling. Legs were rested easily over his knees and soon his arm was draped over her and a small smile appeared on features as he then stated that he was so glad to have met her and so glad that everything had turned out the way that it did. His hand sought out her chin and lifted it so that she met his gaze. She thought back to the times that they had been so unsure of if anything would even able to work out between them despite the obvious attraction and connection that they shared. I feel the same. She uttered gently allowing words to flit on the breeze that passed between them and quiet lyrics would be lost to the atmosphere long before anyone else heard them. It was then that he leaned in and kissed her, butterflies danced in her stomach like they always had around him causing nerve endings to tingle and breathing to accelerate slightly. Slight enough that a human would not notice but the being in which he was it would be obvious the affect he had on her. Tristan there is plenty of time to change that, you did what was needed to survive, that’s simply the way it is. Your sister has been protected because of it so therefore you are directly responsible for the way she’s turned out, she is very caring and loving and loyal. You mean the world to her. She was a little jealous; she wished that she had someone that looked up her in the manner in which his younger sister looked up to him. That was unconditional love, even when she had been scared by the events earlier in the night the only thing that had been on her mind was getting back to make sure that Tristan was alright and she had seen the heartbreak in the girls face when the note had been shown to her. The way to judge a person’s persona was to look at what the people closest to them thought of them and his sister was a good indication and proof that the man underlying the demon was loyal, fiercely protective and kind. When they walked back inside after deciding that it was time to retire for the evening she took a quick check on the boy making sure that he did not have a fever she was careful to place the back of her hand to his forehead without waking the girl at his side. A small smile was uttered even though she knew that Kyrie would not see that before then walking towards the bed that she and Tristan would share. She was already changed into a comfortable pair of shorts and loose t-shirt so she climbed under the covers, even though it was not cold out and she did not need the warmth that they added she felt so exposed without them and it was impossible for her to sleep like that. Head rested on the pillow as she watched him as his shirt was tossed to the dresser before he joined her and told her about the girl that had pointed out the boy in the cardboard box and disappeared before he even had the chance to go back to her. I guess we won’t know much until he recovers enough to wake up and tell us his name. I plan to look into it from there though and we can look for that girl. See what happened to the two of them. She knew she wanted to help them since at one time she had been a child in a situation like that and she had had no one to help her at the time. She closed the distance that was between them as his arm wrapped around her and eyes were closed as she murmured a quiet good night to him pressing her lips gently to his before falling into a light sleep. She slept soundly until the next morning when the sun was just about to rise, part of the shifter genes seemed to make it so that she did not have to sleep nearly as much as other people. She stepped through the living area to check on the boy quickly to see that a lot of colour had returned to his face overnight and he was looking a little better. She would not wake them as she then stepped into the bathroom where she turned the shower on washing her hair and stepping out of the spray to dress in a pair of shorts and tank top that seemed to be regular attire in this country. She then tried her best to finish packing for all of them so that they would be able to leave when they awoke. This trip had not turned out the way she had hoped but they would be living around here and when everything was settled they would be able to return. The bags were then placed by the door before she jogged down the hall to grab one of the large trolleys and place them all on there. She then went down the elevator with the keys to the SUV and packed everything into the large car. She made a call to back to where they were staying letting them know about the boy that would be returning with them in need of medical attention and they assured her that it would be ready when they arrived. The shop just down the road was a bakery so she made a stop there to get four bagels not too sure if the boy would be well enough to eat one but food would help him recover plus she trusted that if the boy did not eat it that Tristan would be able to force it down. She returned to the hotel jogging up the stairs now that she did not have the cart with her and reaching the floor that they were on to place a gentle hand on Kyrie as she was sleeping to wake her. She then moved to Tristan waking him as well.

His skull had nodded easily to her comment outside on the balcony. Something inside of him wanted to just keep her in his arms forever and yet he knew that it wasnt always possible to have that presance near him. His gaze shifted to the sleeping duo on the bed across from them ease comming to him that nothing could happen between them at the moment. Her lyrics about researching his name and trying ot find the girl was true enough to help but would he ever find her. SHe had disappeared into the night like some ghostly demon such as hismelf. She had the sencarity in her gaze that made him help them yet something about her was more than that...like she was hiding the truth or better yet setting them up for something they would never have any idea about in a million years. He had fallen into slumber quiet easily that night. The warmth of Akana by his side that steadily dwelled into his rib cage and remained there until some time in the early hours of morning when he could faintly hear here doing things around the room. He was in the state of half sleep half wake and rem sleep had all but left his body. His shoulders shifted as he re acclimated himself to the cool sheet across from hiim where Akana had lain before she went off to do whatever it was she was doing. His body made the place warm and soon he was off to sleep once more. It was not he was sleepy still it was more along the lines of his body was tried from the events of the day before. Kyrie had found herself falling back asleep on the bed beside the boy after her romp to the balcony a few hours before. His body head kept her warm as she was exposed from the blankets so that she didnt disturb his sleeping. She heard zipping sounds though it never phased her slumber as she fell right back into rem with no problems. After a brief warmth upon her shoulder she jumped to a startled wake, deep sleep was never a great thing for Kyrie, she always woke with a fright if someone was about and she knew it. Her palms rubbed her eyes tiredly beofre she looked across the bed to see the boy looking somewhat better today. Smile rose onto her features before she stood up and streatched upward easily. She knew her things had been packed already thankfully she had clothing laid out from th night before and she began to slip them on in the bathroom slolwy looking at the scratches that covered her form from the previous events yesterday. she found herself worthy of beign out in public and at that around the rather fetching boy her brother had brought into their lives. Tristan looked upward to see the fully dressed and ready to roll Akana standing above him. Slight smile pursed his lips as he shoved the covers back and yawned slightly. Standing up and staggering a bit as he did so he looked around the room to notice everything was missing they had brought. Automatically he knew she had already packed being the way she was and liking prompt times and order it was a given. he found himself grabbing whatever clothing he had left and taking a rather quick shower. He dryed off with the scruffy hotel towels and placed his cothing over his body ruffling his hair a tad as it dryed out from the washing it recieved. He felt much better and more awake as he walked out of the room and looked around at the trio waiting around for him. The bagel smelled delicious and he was rather hungry so giving the circumstances he nabbed it up and began to munch on it's savory circleness. (lmao idk) He looked toward the girl standing there as he smiled lightly and began to speak for the first time that morhing " You all go ahead toward teh house without me i have to do something first then ill be right behind you...by the way babe the bagle was delicious thank you!" He found himself grabbing his items such as wallet and keys and pausing before Akana. "Ill catch up to you all after I help you load the kid into the taxi and get you on your way...I want to well...Don't make plans for tonight I want you to myself" he kissed her lips slolwy letting it linger for a moment or two before going to call the cab and helping them place the injured kid into it.

The sleep from the night before proved to be restful when she amazed herself by awaking on her own long before the sun was even clearing the horizon line. When she got up she made sure that she snuck under the arm of Tristan without waking him and moving quietly in the direction of the bathroom where she was able to have a shower to ready for the day ahead. She did not blow dry her hair since it would make too much noise but rather let it dry on its own, in a place like this that would not take long especially not when she jogged down the stairs to the bagel shop in the middle of the shops that lined the street outside the hotel and returned with breakfast for all of them. Waking Kyrie and Tristan at the same time as well as the boy who seemed to be a little more coherent and actually managed to sit up and have some of the bagel that she provided. When they all finished she threw the paper plates into the garbage can of the hotel and he uttered that the bagel was delicious and she nodded slightly with a small smile not too sure what to make of his comment that he was going to meet them back at the house but she nodded anyways. When they were all ready to go she helped Tristan pick the boy up from the bed, carrying him lightly in the direction of the cab. Wondering if the cab would be suspicious of why the boy was in such bad condition, she would have rather taken the large SUV and had him take the cab but this was the way that he seemed to want it. When they climbed into the cab she settled on the outside with little room and said her good byes to him listening as he told her to have no plans for the evening that he wanted her just for himself. She would not protest something like that. She slid into the cab then to the window seat and watched as the landscape passed by the windows. When they arrived at the house the boy was taken to the room that was set up and waiting for him and she set to work unpacking.

[Ry]

He sighed as they drove away, something inside him bugging the ever beating heart of his own. He would do it, he would indeed do this and whatever came of it he didn't want it to be bad. His stride was easy as he decided to take the suv they had arrived in for himself for a few moments. Driving down the not so busy streets till he found the perfect place to stop. Placing the suv into park he turned the ignition off and got out walking in the small store for a few moments. The counters where set up rather nicely to be around this part of Egypt course it wasn't far off from the hotel they had spent the night in either. Sigh rolled through him as he finally decided what to buy and paid the lady who smiled at him eagerly. His skull nodded to her in a thank you as the large chunck of bills was folded out toher. "thanks" he muttered as he placed the object into his pocket and walked back ot he car. He made it home in about twenty minutes or so and as he walked through the door he had a new sense of being about himself. First he checked on Kyrie who had already unpacked her things and was talking to the injured boy in his room. Why not...he was to weak to do anything and she was simply gathering information from him easily so that Tristan could possibly track down what had caused all of this with him in the first place...and possibly find his sister who left him for dead w. a stranger who looked like death itself. He found his way to the bedroom he and Akana shared together as he seen her there in the room unpacking the items from the trip. "hello there beautiful" he stated before walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her form. He wasnt sure what exactly they where going to do but he was ready for it. "you should get ready to go out ... I have plans for us" he smiled easily as he turned about to the dresser and found himself a outfit to wear for the night.

[Ayrn]

She stepped into the cab that had been called to the curb for the three of them and the boy managed to walk with a little assistance to the car and crawl into the middle seat. She sat diagonal to the driver so that she would be in the vulnerable position if something were to happen and she would be able to see him at all times. It was just the instincts that were so engrained into the predators mind, while she was the king of the beasts in feline form she still knew that to survive she was not able to get put into vulnerable situations. Although the people that drove the cabs were trusted by others she could not bring herself to have the same sort of trust in them. The drive was long enough that by the time they arrived in the driveway she was on edge and she barely managed to sit still the entire time, she knew that the other two kept glancing at her and looking to see what was making her this agitated. When they reached the driveway she handed the cab driver the payment for their ride with a generous tip before helping the boy out of the car and allow him to rest his body weight against her as they made their way to the front door, she then allowed the older man to take him to the room that they had set up for his care with the IVs that would carry the much needed fluid to the boy so that he would be able to recover better. She then stepped back outside the grab the bags from the back of the car and dragged them inside to unpack. She remembered that she was supposed to leave tonight open for something that Tristan had planned so she quickly had a shower and blow dried her hair before finishing unpacking and sending the first load of laundry through the washing machine. She was nearly unpacked when the man walked through the door and into the room. Soft words were uttered to her and caused a small smile to appear on façade as arms were wrapped around her waist and body became relaxed as they were yet again together. When he told her that she needed to get ready for the night she nodded and moved off in the direction of the closet to pull out a white and blue patterned sundress that was perfect for the occasion and the temperature. She changed in the bathroom and applied a thin layer of makeup before then emerging ready and walking with him towards the SUV that was parked in the driveway.
