Jaden smiled weakly but didn't say a word.
Hiro shook his head and looked outside to judge the time and see if he could make it back to his own human.
Alese shook her head not willing to say anything until they were alone. She closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest looking fragile.
The man looked at Demitri and glared at Alese "My lord"
Alese's eyes snapped open hearing the voice that had threatened her not long ago.
"She may be a witch to save miss Jaden, but she broke into the library and was contemplating stealing this" He held out the box Demitri had given Alese
"I take it she's not happy here and was planning to sell these and run away."
Alese's eyes hardened again but she was too tired to fight much more. All she managed was to whisper "You're an idiot. I love it here."
He glared at her with a look in his eyes saying if Demitri wasn't holding her he'd hit her again.
"You had no reason to be in the library Alese! We all know you can't read!!"
That stung when Alese heard him and made her eyes tear up.
