Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDuchess)

She stayed asleep and quite still, which was uncommon for her, she usually tossed and turned in the bed but she was still the whole night, so she would be well rested and in a good mood this morning, she sighed softly in her sleep and in her subconscious she felt the bed move when he left it, this made her wake up and turn over blinking slightly and looking at him resting for before she realized she was in his bed, this made her panic, she slowly got up fixing her messy hair and wiping under her eyes to try and clean herself up quickly before he realized she was up.
 
Alexan heard the bed creak and knew that Susan had awoken but he kept his eyes closed, letting her get settled first. He was glad she had chosen to sleep in the bed last night, had in fact been worried that she’d be uncomfortable in the chair, but he knew she might be embarrassed by it or think that he was mad. When he felt that she’d had enough time to wake up, he yawned and opened his eyes, stretching his arms out. The stretch hurt him less than he thought. He looked at her and smiled. “Good morning Sleeping Beauty” he said. “Did you sleep well?” He knew he had and he wasn’t sure if that was because his bed had another warm body in it or because of the tea or just exhaustion from the injuries.
 
Froze and looked over at him blinking slightly and nodding " i did sleep well thank you....i" she paused and looked at him, he had seen her or he probably moved to the chair in the middle of the night while she slept in the bed " im sorry, that im in your bed... that chair was more uncomfortable than i thought it was going to be " she said and blushed slightly looking away from him and letting another yawn escape her as she sat there indian style.
 
Alexan smiled and tried to ease her embarrassment. “No need to apologize. That bed is plenty big enough for both of us and is definitely more comfortable than the chair. And I know you were just concerned about me.” Truth be told, it had felt nice to wake up with someone else in the bed. He would not tell her that though. He glanced down at his chest then back up to her. “Thank you for taking care of me. It…” he paused, closed his eyes briefly and continued without looking at her “…means a lot to me.” He took a few deep breaths, then glanced at her again, noting how she was sitting. “How on earth do you sit like that? My muscles would kill me if I did that.”
 
Smiled and nodded looking at him " well i couldn't just very well leave you to suffer and get infected now could i?" she said and smoothed out her hair gently before looking down at the way she was sitting then at him " umm you just fold your legs its not that hard ya know" she said and leaned forward trying to stretch her muscles out, she was limber and she always tried to stretch herself out as best as she could at least.
 
Alexan laughed, a deep laugh that amazingly enough didn’t cause him much pain. “Well, I suppose you could have” he said “but I might have gotten a bit hot when the infections set in and when I’m hot, I can be tempermental. So, yea, probably a good thing you took care of me.” He smiled at her, noting how she played with her hair and liking it. “It’s not that hard” he repeated, rolling his eyes. “Says the Flexibility Queen over there. Me, I try to do that and my muscles will rip in two.” He watched her lean forward and stretch and admired her flexibility.
 
Smiled and looked at him again " well have you ever tried it?" she said and motioned for him to come over to her, she was gonna help him out a bit to see if he could actually do it or not this was the position they taught you to sit in when you were in pre-k or what ever so she figured he might want to at least try it out " im sure you can get in this position, it will help you be more flexible, while i was watching you fight you are very stiff while doing so, you are gonna have to teach me to fight... with out the magic and summoning of blades and such... unless you want to keep me vulnerable the rest of my life...." she paused and thought about it... he said that he had lived for many years... would he out live her
 
Alexan’s eyes widened. She wasn’t serious. He had no desire to inflict that torture on his body, especially in his weakened state. But he found he couldn’t really resist her request any more than he could stop caring for her And she had a good point regarding his fighting. He had felt stiff at the time. He assumed it was because he hadn’t fought in a long time but maybe it was more than that. He got up from the chair and approached the bed, sliding onto it next to her, his feet dangling off. “Ok. Let the torture begin” he said, grinning. The idea of teaching her how to fight wounded his pride – he wanted to be her protector – but he also understood the wisdom in it. He also wasn’t sure she was accurate about being without magic but he didn’t want to say anything to her yet, not until he’d tested it more. He put his hand on her arm to steady her, in theory, and felt the now familiar zap slide between them.
 
Flinched slightly when the zap flowed through them and looked at him for a long moment before nodding slightly " alright " she said and let her legs dangle like his so he could get a better understanding of how she was going to teach him " pull your leg and bend it to the side like this" she did so and positioned her leg in a bent manner that looked almost like it was broken in a way, she looked at him and if he couldn't get it she got up and helped him position his leg in such a manner, he would feel his inner muscles stretching slightly " as you continue to do this that uncomfortable feeling will go away"
 
Alexan watched what she did and tried to imitate it, struggling instead. He smiled as she got up and helped him put his leg in the position it needed to be in. He noticed that his magic was humming oddly at that point but he ignored it for the moment, concentrating on the tension he felt in his leg muscles. It hurt but not badly and the longer he kept his leg in that position, the more the muscle adjusted and loosened up. When he felt he was ready, he moved his other leg and positioned it over that one, the way he had seen her do earlier. Now his legs really tensed up, the muscles screaming at him. He ignored it, gritting his teeth, and sat Indian style for the first time in his life. He looked down, amazed that he could do it. “Thank you” he said, looking at her and smiling.
 
Smiled and shook her head " no problem i guess, its not hard once you do it " she nodded and moved away from him " if you want breakfast i can cook you some...can you stand and walk on your own?" she asked watching him closely making sure he could stand and walk on his own, lord knows he needed a shower " maybe a bath would do you some good, just be careful with the wounds and try not to get them wet" she said and felt like she was being motherly and immediatly stopped and zipped her lip closed.
 
Alexan cocked his head at her. “Are you saying I smell?” he asked, a grin on his face. Then he laughed. “No, no, don’t answer that. I know I do! A bath would be a smart thing to do.” He considered her offer of breakfast but decided against it. “I think I’ll pass on breakfast. I’m not really hungry at the moment. You can cook lunch later if you want though…or I can. Either way is fine with me.” He slid off the bed slowly and made sure he was steady on his feet. “Looks like I’m ok to walk” he said as he headed for the bathroom. “I’ll see you when I’m cleaner” he called over his shoulder, disappearing into the bathroom.
 
Watched him and gave him a funny look before nodding and leaving the room heading tot he kitchen, she put on the water for tea and pulled down her kind of tea before noticing all the different selections, she smiled and found a blueberry and pulled it down smelling it before looking at it again and nodding finalizing her selection and closing the cabinets and placing everything on the table and and waiting for him to get out of the shower.
 
Alexan took his shower, being careful not to get his wounds wet – not an easy task given the size of the one on his chest – and dried off. Once he was dressed, he headed out to the kitchen, walking steadier. “Squeaky clean now” he said, smiling. He saw she was sitting at the table, a tea kettle, some mugs, and tea bags in the middle. Joining her, he took a mug and poured some hot water in it. He saw she had chosen Blueberry for herself. “Is Blueberry good?” he asked. He saw another bag near her and reached for it, accidentally brushing her hand. Another tingle surged through him.
 
Smiled and looked at him " i donno i have never tried it before, so we will see" she smiled and was dipping the tea bag in her cup and smiling up at him " i wasn't sure which one you wanted so i just chose one of the unknown teas that i havn't seen before" she added and spoon full of sugar and started to stir gently while looking down at her book reading quietly, she didn't know how the conversation would go so she just tried to read as little of her book as possible to make it last till he was better so that he could go and get her things from her house before the landlord sold it all.
 
Alexan sat down and dunked the tea bag she had chosen for him, adding sugar to it also. A glance at the bag and he saw she had picked well. “I love this one” he said. “Its one of my favorite Zendac blends.” He sipped in silence, watching her reading, not wanting to interrupt her. Finally his curiosity got the better of him. “Do you like to read a lot?” he asked. “I have seen Earth books before but have not explored them yet. I enjoy Zendac books though.” He paused and began to think about the things they would need to do from here on out. First step was to get strong enough to travel to Earth so he could gather whatever she needed. Then he wanted to show her Zendac.
 
Looked up at him from her book and nodded " i do like to read, when ever i have nothing else going on this on in particular is starting to become a favorite of mine" she said quietly then closed the book gently marking her place before hand and pushing it towards him " don't know if you would like it tho, you might like some of his early novels" she said before sipping her tea and smiling " mmm this is good" she said and took a larger sip before setting it down.
 
He picked up her book, taking a sip of tea at the same time, and read the back cover. “This does sound interesting” he said. “A little romance, a little action, some mystery. Not bad. Would you mind if I read it after you?” he asked. As he slid the book back across to her, his hand brushed hers. It wasn’t a tingle this time. It was a roaring flame of fire that flared inside him, causing him to jerk back in his seat. Even as the flames burst through him, he felt his injuries healing rapidly and a tug on his skin let him know that at least one wound had started to close up. He looked at her, his eyes narrowing. “Did you feel that?” he asked, his voice low.
 
Felt a fire erupt and she too jumped up when he did, but she wasn't as graceful, she knocked the chair back by accident and tripped on it making her fall backward letting her land on her head, she grunted slightly and held her head gently as she tried to stand up or at least sit up, she blinked slightly and knew there was goingt o be a bump ont he back of her head " ya i felt it, i have been feeling them ever since i got here, what are they?" she asked and gazed at him before picking herself up.
 
Alexan gasped when she fell backward and rushed around the table, kneeling at her side. “Are you ok?” he asked. She picked herself up so he figured she was but it still looked like it hurt. He waited until she was seated at the table again before sitting down himself. “I’m not sure” he said, taking a sip of tea “but it only happens when we touch. My magic flares every time it happens and this time, I think I healed some. It felt like my skin was knitting together.”
 
Rubbed her head and looked at him before looking at her hand while she stayed seated, she thought about this and had no idea as to why that would happen, at first she thought its was static but once it kept happening she had no ida what it was, and what happened now confirmed it, she breathed softly and looked at him " healed? then lets try somthing" she said and moved her hand across the table and gently took his hand in hers, she gasped and held tighter feeling that burning feeling again after a while it felt nice and warm through out her body, she breathed softly and looked at their hands joined together.
 
Alexan watched as she gently took his hand and gasped when the familiar surge ran through him. The power coursing through his body was intoxicating, pulsing with a life of its own. He closed his eyes, looking inward, finding the core of his magic. It was white hot and burning brightly but..something was wrong….or rather, different. His magic seemed to be moving away from his center, as if it was leaving him, only it wasn’t, not quite. He chanted under his breath, then opened his eyes and suddenly saw. His arcane vision, which the chant called up, could now see that his magic was leaving his body and was connected to Susan. He let go of her hand at that point and saw the connection between then snap. He started to release his sight when he saw it. His jaw dropped. “Oh.My.God” he whispered.
 
Breathed softly and felt him jerk his hand away as he stared at her, she had no idea why he was staring at her, she had felt something but didn't know what it was exactly, she bit her lip thinking she did something wrong, she sat back in her chair and looked down at her legs then at her cup watching the steam flow up and disappear from it, she was trying to contemplate what had happened this scared her to a point to where she was silent, she got up slowly leaving her things there and walked away opening the door and walking out moving into the yard, she sat down by a tree and curved her legs up beside her and looked up at the sky then closing her eyes.
 
Alexan saw Susan get up and walk out of his house but he failed to follow her immediately. His mind going back over what he had seen and what it meant, running through it again and again. What it meant was wonderful yet dangerous. That it was felt every time they touched……well, he didn’t want to consider that yet though he suspected he knew. He just wasn’t sure she would be happy about it. He shook his head softly, suddenly realizing that his behavior may have been why she walked out and then realized that she was outside and unprotected. More importantly, unshielded! He hurried as fast as he could – his injuries healed considerably in that last blast of magic but he still hobbled a little – and slipped through the door, finding her sitting by the tree, her legs curved up beside her. Her face was tilted towards the sky and her eyes were closed and in that moment, she looked so beautiful, his heart raced. He approached her and quietly sat down next to her and, without her noticing it (or so he thought) he shielded her with his magic. He took her hand gently, feeling the hum begin immediately, and turned her face to look at him. “Susan, I’m sorry if my reaction scared you. We must talk” he looked around them “but we can’t do it here. Will you come back inside?”
 
She squinted her eyes while they were closed feeling something then hearing the grass move then it happened that hum was sent through her, she immediately pulled her hand from him and opened her eyes looking over at him with a scared look in her eyes, she liked being outside normally but with all the unknown dangers that were around she looked around placing her hands in her lap "im scared to touch you now" she said and looked back at him then down at the bandages, she wanted to check them but what was happening kept her from doing so, she stood up and moved around him " lets.. talk then" she nodded and moved around him easily, she hated to be cautious but she felt like she had to, she walked up the steps and back into the house moving to the chair and sitting down gently.
