"I hope your talking about Eavan, and the only thing you can do is run. She will only slow you down. I'll make sure that she doesn't go anywhere and I'll hold off the shadows as long as I can." Caleb said.

Mica watched as the shadows increased in number. She looked at Caleb and then to Eavan. Something wasn’t right. She touched Caleb’s mind forcefully. ‘What is going on Caleb? What are you hiding?” Mica turned and walked to the window.
“Bruce. Squeeze the life from her.” She said coldly as she continued to stare at the shadows as they held their position.
Eavan’s eyes widened at Mica’s words. “NO!” she screamed, struggling beneath the feel of Bruce’s grasp. “You can’t!” Eavan struggled wildly beneath his grip. She called upon the power within her as she grasped around Bruce’s throat with it tightening her grip. She felt her power surge as she fought. Her mind cried out in panic to Caleb as tears formed within her eyes.
Jadan was stunned when Eavan hit the wall. He knew the secret she carried and the importance of her survival. Her secret must not be discovered. He looked at Caleb as his eyes glowed then turned his attention to Bruce. "Drop her Hunter or I swear I will tear out your heart." The large black jaguar growled ferociously as he lunged toward Bruce. His large jaws snapping at his leg as his teeth lay bared.

"Mica, just trust me and go dammit." he said. "Eavan, I"m trying my best." "Bruce, we don't kill prisioners. I'll take care of her, just leave!" he said.

Bruce tightened his grip on Eavan with his power, then set her forcefully on a chair on the far side of the room. "Release me now, Eavan, or die," he said, pushing Jaden away, into the corner. "We'll leave, Caleb. But I will expect you to give us some answers when we get through this." Bruce waited half a second before releasing Eavan completely and running out of the door, his summoned sword ablaze with lightening and fire.

Mica watched with keen interest at all that was taking place. She rose, sending Caleb a warning and followed Bruce out of the house.
Eavan’s body slammed onto the chair and she released her hold on Bruce. Jadan moved to follow them as the ran through the door but Eavan stopped him. She turned to look at Caleb. “Why did you come?” Eavan closed her eyes and the shadow warriors disappeared back into the spirit realm from which they came. Caleb’s copies remained.

"To save the one I care about." he said, looking past him to make sure his copies were indeed doing their job. "Look, we don't have time, do you have any new information for me love?" he asked.

Eavan looked at him but shook her head. “No love I don’t. He is becoming more guarded around me and it is getting harder to fake attacks against his enemies. It won’t be long and I fear he will be on to me.” Eavan looked intently into his eyes as she felt her body calling for him. “Caleb…I have missed you.”

Bruce glanced over his shoulder once they cleared the shadow warriors. They had vanished. He stopped and let his sword fade. "Mica?" he asked, looking back at his home. "Is. . . is something wrong? I can't. . . I can't feel what's going on in the house. Caleb was awfully protective of Eavan, and she knows him. Did you see her eyes when he came into the room? There is something going on between those two. What do we do? Keep going?"

Mica drew up close to Bruce. “I know.” She told him. “I feel it too. Caleb was lying to me…well not exactly lying, but he is hiding something. When he entered I felt something from Eavan. She was relieved and I felt…” Mica moved closer to Bruce taking his hand within her own. “I felt from her the same as I feel when I look at you.” Mica shook her head softly and turned to look back at the house. “Something doesn’t feel right. She could have had us attacked at any time. Even when she called forth the warriors, they didn’t attack. She held them.” Mica turned to look at him again. “Caleb would never place us in danger. Yet I felt as you described. He was very protective of her. His feelings strong but guarded yet there is only one reason that he would push so hard…he loves her!?”
Mica looked deeply into Bruce’s eyes. “There is more going on here than just a simple attack on the Hunter and Huntress.” Her eyes sparkled as she looked into Bruce’s. His bare chest rose and fell sharply with the adrenaline coursing through his body. Mica could feel his blood rushing as his heart beat fast. She reached out past him, her mind embracing the farm and surrounding lands. “The threat is gone. I don’t know what to do next. Do we go or return to Caleb and find out what is going on? That is the question.
Mica furrowed her brow in thought, biting her bottom lip as she worked the possibilities in her mind. She turned to Bruce, kissing him lightly on the cheek. “I have to know what is going on.”
Mica turned and started back towards the house. Her steps light as she kept her guard up just in case. She reached out to Caleb softly brushing against his mind. ‘Caleb the threat is gone as fast as it came. We need to talk…the four of us…NOW!’ Mica froze at the door as her hand settled on the knob. She wavered, falling back a step before she caught herself. Her mind shot out abruptly. ‘Caleb she’s….’ Mica turned to look at Bruce, her eyes widened in shock and surprise.

Bruce was right behind Mica, there for her when her step wavered. He put his arms around hers, holding her up. "What is it?" he asked, trying to feel what was going on. "Mica? Tell me." He looked around. Still no threat. 'Caleb,' he said mentally to the Guardian. 'What is going on? Be honest with us.'

"Come in you two." Caleb said out loud, knowing they could hear him. "Eavan, they need to know." he said, looking into her eyes. He moved over and put his arm around Eavan as the door knob turned and opened.

Eavan placed her hand on Caleb’s chest as she looked up into his eyes and shook her head. The time had come. They knew it would eventually and now that it was here, she felt a sort of relief.
Mica heard Caleb and looked toward Bruce. She turned the knob and walked inside. She stopped as she saw Caleb standing with Eavan, his arm protectively around her. She moved over to where he stood and looked him square in the eye. Without thinking, her hand struck out at his cheek and she turned and walked away from him. Her breathing was strained as she fought to control the anger within her. She looked at Caleb as she leaned back against the stair rail leading upstairs. “Now Caleb. Tell me what the hell is going on before I rip the two of you apart.”
Eavan jumped as Mica struck Caleb. She felt her body tense as she prepared to go after her but Caleb’s hand on her shoulder kept her still. Eavan closed her eyes as she felt the pain within Caleb. His love for her had cost him more than she could have known. She raised her hand to grasp his on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze as she let her love for him flow through their bond.

Caleb turned his cheeck slightly so the blow wouldn't hurt as bad, but it still stung like hell. "Well, now that we got that out of the way, let's move on." Caleb said. "Look, Mica, you couldn't have known about this or you would've ever talked to me again. Eavan is a double agent that has been sending me information about the Dark Lord. She will be put to death after our child is born, but I won't let that happen. Our child will have a mother. She has been doing this for months, every attack, every detail I have known about, that's how I knew all of the attacks and where they were going to happen. It was just dumb luck or lucky guesses like I told you." he finished explaining.

Mica looked from Caleb and Eavan to Bruce. She blinked as her mind stuck on two words… “our child”. She looked back at Caleb, her eyes wide, showing hurt within them. “You couldn’t tell me?” she asked incredulously. “You have a love and a…child…on the way and you couldn’t tell me?” Mica moved from the wall, pacing back and forth as she shook her head. “How can you love her? She is the daughter of our enemy!” Mica struggled with the thoughts within her mind as she continued to pace anxiously.
Eavan held tightly to Caleb. She felt his sorrow and it was breaking her heart. “Mica, Bruce. The attack today was carefully planned. You were right but you were never in any real danger. Caleb arrived as he was supposed to. Everything went exactly as planned except for Bruce’s reaction. I sorely,” she reached up and rubbed her back as she looked at Bruce, “miscalculated Bruce’s reaction.” Eavan faltered a little as she stood next to Caleb. “Can we please sit down to talk?” Her legs wobbled a little under her as the intensity of emotions within the room and physical exertion of the afternoon began to take its toll.

"Yea Bruce, you should be nicer to ladies." Caleb said with a twinkle in his eye. "Mica, I know that your hurt, and I'm hurt by not telling you, but your reaction just now tells the whole story. You don't understand, and I doubt you ever will." he said.
