"So Chris care to explain why you are here?" said Verdes "well i was showing my lovely girlfriend the tunnels and the crystal caves very far bellow the mountains" explained Chris "so your not here to help your monster scum are we, it just very convenient that I find you here so soon after we eradicated all those things." said Verdes "I don't know what you mean i was in the caverns from last night with Nel" Chris said acting coy. "I bet you where down there and you helped them, and that the girl behind you is one of those things" said Verdes his patience with Chris quickly vanishing. "look for yourself" says Chris as he steps to the side to revival Nel standing behind him in the black clock that Chris gave to her earlier her feet where pocking out of the bottom of the clock. "ok she is not one of those things but i don't recognize her where is she from?" pushed Verdes "she's from Mill Reach, now can we go? i need to get back to my store". "Fine i will let you go but I'm warning you if i catch you again I'm throwing you back into jail. Do i make my self clear?" "As clear as the Litas Lakes, goodbye Verdes" said Chris. "remember I'm watching you, YOU give him his horse we need to get back in there we have some monsters to hunt"
Chris waited for the men to go before turning back to Nel "my god that was close, that man will be the death of me" said clutching his chest. "I'm sorry i said those mean things earlier and thank you for saving me" Nel embraced Chris in a hug, Chris could feel her warm rip chest against his. "ummm yo.your welcome, ah-um" Chris cleared his voice and reluctantly puled away from Nel "where not safe yet we need to get back to my place"
Chris took his time getting back with Nel behind him holding on for dear life as they rode back to his home/shop. "I've never rode on a horse before its really quite scary" shouted Nel over the noise of the river which flowed next to the road. "don't worry we will be at the town in a few minuets" Chris called back "wait what you live in a town with more humans, no i can't go i won't go" said Nel as she began to push away from Chris, the horse knocked Nel's balance and she began to fall backwards off the horse. luckily Chris had amazing reflexes and court Nel by the coaler of the clock and was able to pull her back up. "are you ok?" asked Chris "yes I am now" answered Nel "don't worry about the town, the clock will make you blend in know one will know what you are".
As Chris, Nel and Tiny got to the town they easy got past the gates and back to Chris's house. Ben was waiting for Chris to return. As Chris entered his shop Ben lit up he was so happy to see his best friend "How did it go? did you get there in time?" pestered Ben "no i didn't, i was to late" Chris hung his head in shame. At that moment Nel entered with Tiny happily panting hugging close to her legs. "um so the shipment will be here tomorrow" Ben panicked as he quickly changed the subject, Chris looked puzzled at Ben's sudden outburst. "oh look Chris you have a costumer" Ben pointed out. Chris quickly put 2 and 2 together, Ben changed the subject because Nel walked in. "Ben don't worry she won't say anything she was the only lamia i could save". "no thats possible she's human she's got legs not a tail."stating Ben with a very good observation. "she's wearing an enchanted clock that makes her look human" explained Chris. "where in the hell did you get one of those?" "I made it obviously" "i knew you where good with magic but this is unbelievable thats so amazing"
"so this is Nel and Nel this is Ben" introduced Chris "now Ben can you not tell anyone about this clock it could mean disaster" "thats fine mate i will keep it a secret. I've got to get back to the inn my dad must be really swamped my now. Bye Chris" When Ben left Nel began to walk towards Chris when she just collapsed onto the floor.Chris rushed over to Nel and found she had collapsed from exhaustion, Chris proceeded to take her to a bed in the spare room.
