Enter: Protector of Ice

"No, there is too many. Please, Trira, can you wait till Alex is better, we need him and Brianne and she won't come until Alex calls her." He said as he placed both his hands on her shoulders.

Trira shook her head. "You do not understand. I cannot go inside now. All this worrying about Alex life makes everything bad. I am getting like my sister for some moments. Now I can understand how it is to live with much hate.", she said to Dane. "I need to kill one of the to cool down."

"I'm sorry but you can't, please Trira." Dane said as he frowned a bit.

Trira breathed out, but then she nodded. "Ok, I will try it without killing. But do not be angry when I start to shout inside.", she said to Dane. Then she opened him the door an let him inside before she herself also entered.

Alex had fallen asleep, Dane walked over to him and placed a hand to his cheek, "Hmm, his temperature is rising slowly, it would have been worse if you didn't put ice on him." Dane then walked over to the table and started to mix the herbs.

Trira produced some more ice cubes and placed them on Alex forehead. She was on the one side glad that he was sleeping, on the other side she feared herself more. "Now we have to wait.", she said.

Alex coughed in his sleep, his breathing wasn't too good either. Dane put the herbs in a pot with water and put it over the fire pit as he lit a fire. Sweat and water rushed down his face as his eyebrows brunched together, "He must be in pain." Henry said, "I know he will be ok, he is a tough boy."

Trira nodded. She knew she should not talk now. It would only worsen the situation. She walked up and down in the room, thinking what she could do.

"Trira, all we can do right now is wait...and hope." Dane said as he fixed the mixture and let it cool down.

Trira nodded and sat on the floor. But she could not stay there for long. She stood up again and walked up and down. Then, suddenly, she said:"I will go outside again." Then she vanished through the door and walked a little bit along the street.

Once the medicne was cooled, Dane poured it down Alex's throat, "That should help a bit." he said then looked at the door, "Poor Trira."

Trira was still walking through the town. She looked around and watched into every shop she found. It helped her to get her head clearer. For a moment she forgot everything, except of what she was doing.

It was getting late, the clouds were starting to roll in. Alex still hadn't woken up, Madison was sleeping on the couch and Henry and Dane were talking.

Trira decided that it was time to go back. It had been wonderful to go around a little bit, but she had to look what had happened to Alex. Slowly she walked there and opened the door. She looked around the room and went to Henry and Dane. "Hello.", she said to both of them. "Had anything happened?"

"No, he is still asleep and his temperature has gone up but only by a little." Henry said quietly as to not wake Alex or Madison up.

Trira nodded. "Then I will make tomorrow more ice cubes if I have to go out again." She also whispered. She looked to Alex and Madison. She was worried about Alex, but this time it did not changed into hate.

Alex coughed in his sleep and was mumbling something. Henry and Dane blinked, "Eh, do you know someone named Alice?" Dane asked.

Trira nodded. "Yes, I know Alice. She is a good friend of mine and a much better friend of Alex.", she told Dane. She turned her head to him. "Why?"

"Cause he keeps saying her name...and what do you mean a better friend to him?" Henry said.

"I mean that they hang around all time and I sometimes think they love each other.", she explained to Henry. Trira thought what Alice might do now.

Henry smiled, "Oh, little Alex has a love."

Trira smiled. "What have you thought? That he will stay alone forever?", she asked Henry.

"No no no, I just didn't know he had a love. What does she look like?" Henry asked.

"She is really good looking. Long blond hair, pale blue eyes and tall. She is guardian of water and wind.", Trira told Henry. While she said that her mind went back into the good old times, when Alice had been her teacher. "She is also a really friendly person.", Trira added.

"She sounds like an angel." He said as he smiled.
