I’ve realized in the past?”   He said.
    The answer didn’t really give her anything, she looked at him.  She waited for him to continue, again looking at his eyes and seeing the yellow flecks in them.  As she looked at him she suddenly realized what her mother had meant by eyes that entice you.  His eyes were something that kept her wanting more. 
    “She was a friend of our families.”  He finally said.
    “But I don’t know of you?  Why not, surely if you’ve lived in the same area as me for so long I would know you.” Colleen asked.  She studied his face to try and place him.  But then she realized she didn’t really go out much.  Her family had been afraid of being attacked for the past several years.  The last time Colleen had been out from behind the castle walls was well over 10 years ago. 
    “I don’t know why but I’ve never seen you either?  So with that being said, who is lying and who is telling the truth?”  He questioned her as well.  She saw his eyes narrow once more as if seemed to scan over her.
    “I know why, my family has kept us inside for many years now.  My sisters and I especially because they knew someone was after the family.  However, when it came to me, they used to make sure very few people knew of my true nature.  I guess they were told by a witch that one day they would give birth to me, and I would be a special key for something.  I’m not sure what it could be or what it really is, if it is even real.  For so many years I’ve not believed in magic or anything like it.”  Colleen said.
    She watched as he created fire with his fingertips, he simply flicked one up and there was a flame coming from the end of it.  “What the hell?”  She jumped back from him.
    “This is magic.”  He stated.
    “What all can you do?”  Colleen asked.  She was curious more than scared.  Again she had no reason to fear this man.  Lady Sylvia had trusted him and honestly he didn’t seem like a bad sort.  Colleen realized she thought he was good looking.
    She smiled at his face, realizing that he was handsome as well.  The brown eyes with yellow flecks did something special for him.  Colleen felt herself drawn to him as by a rope.  She wondered if this was him making her behave this way.
    “I can do some other things.  But I would rather not talk about my magic right now.”  Kaiden stated.
    “Okay I’m sorry if I asked too many questions.  I’ve just never seen it.  I always thought it was crazy people saying things.  But the maids would tell stories about magic.  Nothing like that fire from your finger though.  I remember one story where someone conjured some sort of animal though, can you do that?”  She asked.
    He looked at her again.  Colleen held her hands up as to say sorry, and sat down on the chair beside him. 
    In his mind Kaiden was wondering if she had heard stories of his magical event.  Maybe and he didn’t want to talk about that.  Instead he would rather look at her eyes and her face.  She was a beautiful woman. 
    For him she was the best looking of the McDoon’s he had remembered seeing in the past.  He thought about her story of how her family had kept them inside.  He realized that it had been years since he’d seen one of the females of this family. 
    Kaiden knew a couple of the boys though.  The whole family was dead?  He still remembered the day he had heard of that tragedy.  It had been a few months before his own heartbreak night had occurred.  I know how she feels right now, he thought.
    “Come inside, I’ll get the bath water so you can clean up.  I’m sure you are tired after your trip.”  Kaiden stood up and said.  “If you’re hungry I’ll heat you up a little stew.  I’m sorry it is all I have right now.”  Kaiden said.
    “I’m a little hungry.”  Colleen admitted.
    “Let me warm the water up for your bath first though.”  Kaiden stated.
    She sat by the table and offered to help.  “I
