[b][u]Silver Fang [/u][/b]




I woke early. The sun was just coming up and shown through the windows of the old two story house. I walked quietly through the mangled hall but before I even go to the bottom of the crooked stairway I heard Fathers deep words, as he spoke to Zyph.
No Zyph, I couldnt take er with me. Its way to dangerous.
But Hector the girl tis only six. She would be heart broken if you left without her
Ugh, your probably right. I guess well leave at sunrise tomorrow.
As soon as they saw me they stopped talking and stared at me with wide eyes. Zyph, her fathers little brother,had his head cocked to one side, smiling as though I was a child of two I was eight of Vans sake!
Zyph, you really need to get that head fixed!
He sneered at that comment from me. He was childish for his age of sixteen, so very childish. Unlike my oh so serious father but still he is twenty-eight as is that I know.
I scrunched up my nose and stuck my tongue out at him. He did the same. He walked out the door but before he left he said, Remember, Hector, tomorrow.
Kiger, there is breakfast for you in the kitchen. After you are done come to the Baskent.
I put my head down daring not to look at him for the women in the villages said it was unrespectable to look a man in the eyes when you talk to him. Which for little girls this should cost them four switches against the bottom.
Yes SirI said grimly.
He shook his head and knelt down so our height met.
Kiger,he said sternly,I hate when you do not speak to me with the sweet voice you had before Mother died what tis the matter?
That wasnt it but what the heck .I looked him straight in the eyes and said, Today is my birthday isnt it?
He stuttered for a moment counting the months.
Uh yes, why yes it is
Then Im not hungry. And you know Im not greedy Father but wheres it at, wheres my present?
I made him suffer till he spit it out, Uh come with me.
What did he have for me......at first he said he wanted me to come to the Baskent which would be the best place for giving me my present but he stuttered when I asked him!?
We came to the stepping stones Father walked across while I jumped from one stone to the next my shoulder length dark red hair getting in my mouth and hair
The Baskent was a huge pool-type area but in the middle was a sort of a gazebo. It mas made of marble as were the small stepping stones used on three sides to get to the gazebo the fourth side, with no stones over looked the beautiful Alcomeno Ocean. But the best part was the fact that the whole Baskent was surrounded by six feet of blue spring water. On hot summer days Father would even let me swim in it.
He stared at me with sharp blue eyes. And smiled, well actually it was really a smirk Father never smiles.
Kiger you have the same hair as your Mother. You know today would have been her birthday too.
I know Father.
I already knew my Mother and I had the same birthday, why is he saying this? I bet he misses her she only died a year ago.
He just smirked and walked over to a black leather bag it was small but she could see something round in it something egg-shaped. And that it was an egg it was pretty big but not as big as she imagined.
Kiger this is a Couget egg
Uh, whats a Courgat?
A Couget, Kiger its a type of Dragon and he is mighty well ready to hatch but he can only hatch in the hands of a gifted young child. At lest thats what Cairin told me hes a tamer of dragons he said you would be perfect and if this little guy doesnt hatch hell die.
Really, and....
Hes your new pet here
He put the silver egg in her hands and they both stared at it. It moved slightly then shook moving back and forth first slow than rapidly. Kiger was about to drop it when her father cupped his hands under hers. It cracked straight in half then the egg shell disappeared. All that lay in her hands was a small furry dragon, curled up in a circle as much as he could squeeze.
He looked like a weasel with silky white fur, he had small stubs on the back of his head, probably soon to be horns, and on each side of his Weasel head was long whiskers, but there was only one on each side. He was so adorable.
So Kiger whats his name!?
Uh name...Haku should suite him!
Haku sounds wonderful!
What do we do now!?
Lets see if we can get Haku out into the open shall we?
We went into the large yard it was empty besides two trees, an Ash that went sky high, and a over-sized maple. I poked the little guy hard in the side. He raised his small head and we stared at each other. He wobbled over to me and crawled in my lap.
He seems to be taking a liking to you kiger.
Uh-huh.
Just then a small drop of rain landed in Fathers bluish black hair.
Wed better be going in Kiger
I wrapped my arms around Haku. He curled up against my belly. He was so very warm.
When we got inside Zyph was already back. He smiled at the site of Haku.
I see the squirt was actually gifted, amazing!
Zyph why are you back you just left ten minutes ago?
I forgot the girl had a birthday, I guess
Right
I sat on the old grey couch with Haku wrapped around my neck. Father and Zyph walked through the sliding door into the kitchen closing it behind them.
I bet theyre going to talk about me, Haku.
Haku responded with a deep purr in his throat just like a joyful kitten. He climbed down my arm and onto my lap where he rolled over on his back. I gently stroked his belly.
After about six minutes Father and Zyph walked into the living room. They looked at me deeply. Zyph sat beside me, Haku scampered over to him sniffing his arm making sure it was safe for him to sit by his master. Father put his hand through his black hair, pacing back and forth. Just then a sudden blast came from the ocean, cause Haku to stumble over and curl up in my lap.
We have to leave now there is no time!were Fathers only response to the blast.
Kiger get what you seriously need, understand.
But Fath...
Go now!
His voice was hard and cruel now. Something was very wrong now.
I went into my room trying to decide what to take. I pulled open my gunnysack backpack inside I put two outfits, my kimono, which I toke because mother made it for me, and my last outfit she ever made, a shirt with long baggy selves, at the shoulders it cut showing a tiny bit of skin. The shirt was red with gold rims as were the pants, the shirt buttoned up.
Also I grabbed Haku and struggled as I tried to push him down in the sack. I then put my Chinese Dragon around my neck it was very valuable, it was made of gold and the dragon was covered with diamonds its eyes were made of sapphires it reminded me of Haku.
I heard the harsh voice of Zyphs horse as he tried to pull himself together after another blast, I went to my window, Zyph patted the horses neck in encouragement. Zyph yelled something at Father but the now raging storm was too restless to hear their words. Zyph pulled on the chestnut horses reins and they were gone into the forest all there was left to see was the hoof prints in the sloshing mud filling up with rainwater.
Kiger, hurry now!
Im hurrying Father I really am.
I heard a hard sigh as he rushed up the stairs.
We dont need anything!
But you said to get important things now did...
Were wasting time just grab Haku and come on we only have a couple hours now hurry!
I had no idea were and why we were leaving. But it seemed really important to Father to leave as soon as possible. I grabbed the terrified Haku and rushed down the stairs.
But Father my clothes theyll be ruined.
Were leaving now, get going!
I cant I have to stay.
Father was angry now he picked me up off the ground, and pulled my head against his strong chest. He pulled open the cherry-wood door, the wind was raging and horrible. It was worse getting into the storm than looking out a window at it. Domeik, Fathers black stallion with white hooves and mane was standing at our front gate. He was as loyal as any dog and more courageous as any human, demon, or lion.
He looked at us with big brown eyes. And trotted over as though nothing was happening.
Father looked me in the eyes then threw me on the horses back, he then propped himself on Domiek wrapping one hand around my belly. Leaning over me he grabbed the reins and slammed his foot hard in Domiek side.
We must have been riding for ages, I couldnt tell I had fell asleep, Fathers body protecting me from the hard, mean storm.
When I woke it took me a while to figure out were I was, I soon noticed I was a large hollowed out Willow tree trunk it must have to be six hundred years old! Haku was curled up in my hands. Apparently the storm had stopped, Domiek was outside the old tree his legs tucked under him, fast asleep. Father was by a huge lake washing his face off, the lake glistened in the new day sunlight it was so pretty. I yawned and starting to walk toward him, my bones ached, I was too used to sleeping in a nice cozy bed.
Father wiped his hands on his pants and actually smiled at me,Kie how did you sleep, dear?
Fine were are we?
About sixty miles from home, we were riding all night.
Were did Zyph go?
I met up with him hes fine.
I guess I actually did care about Zyph. This was a first.
Hes still asleep in that tree he slept beside you all night.
I walked over to the tree and walked in and sure enough Zyph was fast asleep. I walked out and slumped down beside Father.
Are we ever going to go home Father?
He just looked down and shook his head. Haku ran out of the tree and stiffed him, then jumped in his lap, opened his small mouth wide to get a good yawn and drifted away in a sleepy trance.
Father wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
Aw, so cute a little girl and her daddy how sweet!
Apparently Zyph had woke up.
Zyph go away,was all I could say to the fool. Zyph was always in my fathers business.
You heard the girl ,Zyph, go away!
Zyph rolled his eyes and walked over to his chestnut horse.
A gust of wind hit my face, it burned like a white hot needle. I curled up against Father.
Cold isnt it?
Uh-huh!
Come on Kie.
He picked Haku up off of his lap and gave him to me. Then picked me up, holding me against his chest. I heard a low growl apparently Father had heard it too he put Haku and me down,Stay! was his command.
Father walked over to the growling before he could even get to the trees a creature jumped out from behind the trees and gave a low growl at Father.
This beast was a demon. At first it gave an appearance of being a friendly centaur, humans with the body of a horse. But this was just plain out ugly, its horse body was huge but at the same time it was skinny showing its ribs and shoulder blades the human part was demon for sure it was a grayish color its head was dog-like but a dog with a long muzzle.
Zyph noticed the creature at once, but stared at it speechless, his face white with horror.
Father ran over to Haku and me and picked us up. He almost fell to the ground but got back to balance and pushed me over onto Domieks leather saddle.
He was about to ride off when he noticed the petrified Zyph standing face to face with the Demon centaur.
Father shook his head in anger, Zyph get out of there now!
Zyph just stood there, Go get, leave me here save Kiger and yourself you dont need me for this journey Ill just get in the way as I always do. Ill distract it while you flee.
Before anyone could say anything to convince Zyph that he should get away the Demon centaur pulled a reaper from his backslash, its handle was long and as tall as he was, the syth was curved and had a double blade the other blade had to indents in it.
Zyph still didnt move. The Demon held the reaper over his bony shoulder and it clashed into Zyphs belly.
Zyph fell to the ground and held his belly. Father jumped off the horse and ran to Zyphs side. But before he could even make it there the Demon smacked the end of the reaper against his face. Father fell to the ground, unconscious.
The Demon looked over at me and gave a low growl. He walked slowly over to where Domiek and I were. Many thoughts came into my mind as he approached , Everything is over already? My eight years are up? I only got eight years? This is it. My life was pointless. Only eight years? Thats all I get?
Just then a rustle came from the edge of the clearing. Another Demon came out snaring at the centaur.
This Demon was amazing he had the body of a young man about Zyphs age, about his height too. But his ears were pointed and he had fangs too large for his mouth they stuck out about two inches, the rest of his teeth were pointed. He also had a large bushy white fox tail the same color as his hair which both had thin lines of black running vertically through. And I also noticed he had pointed claws which replaced his finger nails and also his toenails which were visible since he wore no shoes.
This Demon sprinted over to the centaur and struck him hard in the leg. The centaur stubbled to the ground not able to get up from his broken leg. The Demon grabbed a dagger from his sash and slashed at the centaurs body causing many wounds. Soon the centaur couldnt take any more and he vanished in a cloud of black smoke.
The Demon put his dagger in place and walked over to me. I pulled Haku closer to me.
He looked at me with wide eyes, Its o-Kay, the demon is gone now.
I looked at his friendly face, You saved me! Why would you do that?
You are no harm to me that centaur though was killing many others.
Unable to find the words to say I finally remembered Father and Zyph.
He hurt my Father and uncle could you please help me?
Sure Im very good at mending wounds. By the way my name is Calien.
I looked over at Zyph, he was still holding his belly, weeping in pain.
Hurry Calien, you must help my uncle Zyph!
Weldo!
Calien fixed Zyph up well. Haku and I were sitting by him my head leaning against his bare chest. Calien also helped Father with ease he ripped apart Zyphs shirt, dipped it in the lake water and held it to Fathers head.
As soon as Father woke, I ran over to him
