The Alutanta Falls were perfect in the late afternoon sun. the blues and greens of the water twice as bold. The sprays of water drops, like falling glass in their perfection. The rainbows in the mist as clear as day.

Cassie almost hated to ruin it. Almost. As Cassie stood at the top of one of the tallest falls, she looked down at the deep blue water. It was so deep, she couldn't see the bottom. But she wasn't scared. Not in the least. She knew the bottom wasn't anywhere close to the surface.

Cassie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her black bathing suit streching close to her skin. Cassie held the breath in her lungs and jumped. In mid air, she did a seris of flips, finally landing in the water in a dive with hardly a splash made.

From in a tree Alba was watching Cassie with a smile. He had joined her and looked after the girl for a while now. Slowly turning her chaotic, but in truth he cared for her and wanted her to join the Chaos Legion with him. He then smiled more as she dived into the water of the falls. Alba being a Phoenix did not want to stay to near the falls at that moment in time.

Alba then jumped down from the tree he was in looking at Cassie, he then walked over to the water and said "Having fun i see then..." His voice with its usual dark tone to it as he looked on at Cassie and let out a small laugh as he did so.

Cassie looked up. "Yes, I am." It didn't bother her to know that Alba was watching her. She had grown used to it by now. She even in a weird way liked him being there if she needed him.

It was almost like he was her Angel. Only Evil. Cassie started to laugh at the thought of Alba being an Angel. It would never happen. Not in a milloin years.

Alba seen her laugh then said "Whats so funny kid.... " But he was cut somewhat short as he eyes quickly darted into the trees, someone was there, Someone watching both him and Cassie and Alba didnt like it one bit. He made both of his hands into fists as he waited for the being to show itself, the hands of Alba slowly cracking as he looked into the trees.

He did not know what was there but it was starting to get to Alba and if it didnt show itself soon he would just go into the forest, find it, and snap its neck then everything else he could snap.

Cassie whinced as Alba called her kid. She wasn't that much younger than him. But then she saw his mood change and she knew something was wrong. As Alba looked around them, Cassie stayed where she was. She knew that if she was in any real danger, Alba would let her know before he took care of it.

Cassie waited, not daring to turn around to see what Alba was staring at.

Of course they did not need to wait long as a large bear leaped out towards Alba, he quickly punched forward towards the leaping bear, his fist making contact with its skull and cracking it wide open. Alba was an expert in unarmed combat, and he was not going to let anything get neat Cassie. With the bear dead he then turned back to face Cassie again with a smile.

He then said to her "Looks like we got dinner for about a week.. then again, the way you eat it might only last two days at the most right kid?" He could not help but laugh after saying this.

Cassie glared at Alba, he knew she didn't eat a lot. In fact half the time he forced her to eat. Cassie suddenly got an idea. She used the palm of her hand to splash Alba, knowing he wouldn't come in to get her because of her still being in water.

Cassie's little wave was headed for Alba right as he was laughing and not paying any attention.

The water splashed over Alba but it was soon clear he was mad. His entire body erupted in flames as he turned to face Cassie, his eyes pure red and he said "you will regret that kid." The flames then died away and he placed his hand down to grab Cassie and pulled her out the water. If he got her then he had his own kind of punishment in mind for the female pirate. Yes... Alba always had some evil kind of plans for Cassie after all.

Cassie gulped and tried to swim away, but wasn't fast enough. "I'm sorry Alba. I swear I'll never do it again. Please don't punish me. Please?" Cassie begged as she was picked up out of the water.

Cassie knew she was in trouble now. Alba never touched her, not even when he was upset with her.
