Denver CO Real Estate & Homes For Sale1,308 Properties FoundAs the largest city and capital of Colorado, Denver is the centerpiece of the Front Range. Denver sits on the western edge of the High Plains and is just a stones throw from the Rocky Mountains. The city is made up of about 80 official neighborhoods, each with its own flare and features that distinguish it from other communities. Denver is famous as an outdoor fanatic's paradise because of its 300 days of sunshine each year and its proximity to the outdoor playground of the Rocky Mountains. Many residents spend summer weekends camping or hiking and winter weekends hitting the slopes. Denver has the largest city park system in the country with more than 200 different parks, 650 miles of paved trails, 90 golf courses and about 30 recreational centers. Because of its extensive bike trail system and famed B-Cycle bike sharing program, Denver is also well known as a bicycle-friendly city. Denver Art Museum and many other nationally recognized museums call Denver home. The city has a renowned performing arts center, and many neighborhoods contain art galleries and theaters. The Mile High City also has a dynamic music scene with Red Rocks Amphitheatre as its crown jewel. A major pioneer in the restaurant business, Denver was the starting place for many fast-casual restaurants such as Chipotle, Quiznos and Noodles & Company. Denver is also well-known for its beer. Big and small breweries alike call the metro area home, and the city hosts the increasingly popular Great American Beer Festival each fall. Arguably one of the most desirable places to live in the country, Denver offers safe neighborhoods, unmatched outdoor recreational activities and endless entertainment possibilities.

Yes, you use plural verb forms with plural nouns.
Interested in Language
1. There are no students in the classroom.
2. There is no student in the classroom.
If we refer to an countable noun, is it mandatory to use " There are " with a plural noun.
Yes, you use plural verb forms with plural nouns.
When we turn to abstract nouns, do we use singular verb forms with singular nouns?
e.g There is no comment....
Last edited by Winwin2011; 04-Jan-2013 at 18:14.
We always use singular forms with singular nouns and plural forms with plural nouns.
Well, actually...
We often SAY (not write) "There's... " for a plural. Only the contracted form, not "There is."
There's a few things we can do here.
But your original sentence will be more natual with the plural: there are no students. We rarely say "there is no [single thing]" to mean that the room is empty.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Are abstract nouns usually used with singular verb forms with no?

Wow, thats stunning! So, any chances of the show getting pitched to Syfy or something, or will it be more of Web thing?
Drive grid: This is a work render. I added a little bit of glow to the grid in Lightwave, but I think I'll be asking NEO FX to handle that kind of thing in post - LW's rendering effects are limited and I'm not too experienced with them. Likewise NEO will probably work out the niceties of interactive lighting (for example the grid, being lit, probably shouldn't cast a shadow on the hull here).
Yeah, there's be no shadows. There might be hotter spots, but overall there would be no solid shadows.
Well, the folks who understand rendering and animating will have to figure that out. The Polaris object exists as sixteen layers and the various drive sails are each on a separate one, so I imagine this can all be manipulated either through settings or doing multiple passes.
I intended the drive grids to be physical structures so yes, they would cast shadows from direct sunlight.
Oh wait...I misread. I thought Dennis was referring to the glow cast by the activated drive grids, not sunlight through the sails when they are glowing.
Yes, but when the grid is lit and glowing the way it does, would it cast a shadow on the hull? It's the source of that blue light, isn't it? I guess a naked light bulb casts a shadow in daylight even when it's turned on. I must say I'd never paid enough attention to that. BTW, I don't know if I mentioned that the OBJ file came through with part names but no surface names. The part name for most of the drive elements was "SailRecurve," 1 through 4. To keep from getting too confused during texturing and rigging I've needed to assign a lot of surface names and I get easily confused. So unless you've got something else in mind I've arbitrarily named these the fins - dorsal and ventral, port and aft. The big rotating structures are the mainsails - dorsal and ventral - and the small structures that open away from them are the topsails, dorsal and ventral. The idea of something called the "ventral topsail" appeals strongly to me because it makes no sense - a stranger to these vessels would find it unintuitive.
In Max I only deal with object names. The SailRecurve objects were the ones with the slight upward recurve at the tips as opposed to the earlier straight versions. I thought I'd renamed those to something very similar to what you're using, mainsail, topsail, etc, but I guess I never got around to it.
Even a bare flame will cast a shadow when it sits in the path of a stronger light-source. Try it with a lighter or a candle.
"Five-seven-ty! Five seven zero, not dee. And there's no one here named 'Robbie', so quit hailing this ship!"
Very cool. I really like the gold accents on some of the engine parts. The sail lighting looks very good also, though I'm not sure we ever did decide if they actually light up at any other time than when the ship is about to make an FTL jump. The fill light on the left side is a little funky and casts some weird shadows. Other than that, looks awesome!
Thanks. I'm trying to get a variety of metallic surfaces into the surface, rather than mainly silver/aluminum/steel. I was pretty intimidated by those drive grids, but they've really involved less trial and error to get a good look than I'd expected.
Actually, right now I've got a problem working out the fin rotations - check your email when you have a chance. The different coordinate systems between LW and MAX - along with the fact that LW uses one nomenclature for positioning and a different one for rotation - is kicking my butt. Did you have texture maps for the warning signs, et al? I got one for the ship's name (and actually modeled the name and the hull number as part of the mesh using the same font).

I am an ardent fan of Sri since mid 1970's and I and my family (joint family)all likes are till today. But sadly to note that Sri has lost lot of weight. It is nice to be slim, but not skinny. Her round face has been all the more oval shaped and chin has gone inside. We want her to put on a little weight and her face as usual round and chubby chin

Grand Canyon Trip Options for People With Disabilities
There are many Arizona adventures to choose from. We pride ourselves in providing persons with a wide range of disabilities the opportunity to experience the Grand Canyon on a multi-day Colorado River rafting trip. Whether it for recreational therapy or pure vacation enjoyment, AzRA supports the National Park Service's (NPS) primary goal "to develop and coordinate a system-wide comprehensive approach to achieving the highest level of accessibility that is reasonable," and hopes to continue leading the way with all Grand Canyon river concessionaires in providing trips to persons with disabilities.
In 1991, AzRA began developing a plan and obtaining the resources needed to safely aid persons with disabilities in rafting the Colorado River. In the years following, AzRA collaborated specifically with non-profit organizations that specialize in offering and executing recreational opportunities for persons with disabilities. Trip opportunities now go beyond trips organized by non-profit groups to include trips organized by families and friends, as well as encouraging persons with less severe disabilities to mainstream on previously scheduled trip dates when possible.
AzRA has found different trip options suite varying levels of abilities. Upon discussing your disability and needs with our office and management staff, we will assist you in choosing the trip option that may best suite you. It is important that you provide a complete description and be honest to yourself about your abilities. Be specific if you have medical needs or if you require a personal assistant. Our primary concern is participant safety while providing an enriching experience for all guests.
Through the years we have had many passengers with a variety of disabilities. Some of these passengers have decided to join existing river trips. For example, we accommodated an adult who was diagnosed with autism and mildly mentally impaired Down syndrome. Despite her disabilities, she was a good swimmer and an experienced hiker and camper. After carefully discussing the trip options and the physical and mental demanding nature of the trip with her mother, we collectively decided an eight day mainstreamed motorized trip was an appropriate option for her. To accommodate her social anxieties, we agreed to keep the trip capacity to 12 instead of the regular 24. No other major accommodations were necessary besides educating the guides about her needs.
Another example is a family and friends group who booked an entire one boat motor trip to ensure and accommodate the needs of their teenage son who is confined to a wheel chair and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We can add a ramp to ease getting the wheel chair on and off the boat, a chariot system to assist with getting the wheelchair on side hikes, a specialized toilet system, and tracks for the sand to provide freedom for movement around camp. The assistance equipment requires more space during transport and extra time is also allotted for adjusting to using the equipment. We collectively decided a chartered motorized trip was the most accommodating trip option. The trip itinerary and daily time table was designed around the capabilities and needs of the son.
Recreational Opportunities with Non-Profit Organizations
Other guests have joined trips that were reserved specifically for groups with disabilities. If you are a non-profit organization interested in putting together a trip for persons with disabilities, you might like to explore grant opportunities available through the Grand Canyon Fund. In fact, the Grand Canyon River Outfitters Association boasts an Access Program offering resources for putting together trips for groups of special populations.
There are usually options to join organized trips through different non-profit organizations. In 2005, the City of Phoenix and the non-profit organization called River of Dreams organized a trip with Arizona Raft Adventures, Grand Canyon National Park, and two additional outfitters. An hour PBS documentary titled "Right to Risk," was filmed over the course of the 14-day trip highlighting eight individuals with significant disabilities that ranged from visual and hearing impairment to quadriplegia. Watch the Right To Risk 3 minute trailer. Check your local PBS channel for potential screenings of the full documentary. In 2008, AzRA combined efforts with Grand Canyon Youth and Global Explorers as one of two outfitters, taking young adults who were part of the "Leading the Way" program. Leading the Way is a program centered on young adults with visual impairments. CBS filmed and aired a wonderful 4:30 minute segment on this trip. To watch the clip, view the CBS website.
In 2009, AzRA was the outfitter for a chartered trip with Team River Runner consisting of disabled U.S. veterans. Of the veterans, some were in wheel chairs, some were amputees, others suffered from mental illness, but all were successful in traveling downriver with AzRA. Most recently, collaborating with another Grand Canyon outfitter, we ran a trip with Wilderness Inquiries. The two companies shared the cost, equipment, resources, and guides on a 15 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. The guests range in disabilities from visual impairment, polio, partial paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia. These are just a few examples of the types of trips AzRA has the willingness, experience, and capability to execute.
"AzRA has a strong and altruistic reputation and history of providing safe and educational outdoor adventure opportunities for people from around the world. We know them best for their groundbreaking work with persons with disabilities."
– Ann Wheat and Carol Gary City of Phoenix

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- With Harrison Barnes' scoring to go with North Carolina's defense and rebounding, the eighth-ranked Tar Heels extended Clemson's long run of misery here.
Barnes scored 24 points in the Tar Heels' 74-52 win Saturday, which improved UNC to 56-0 all-time in Chapel Hill against the Tigers.
Tyler Zeller added 14 points for the Tar Heels (23-4, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who held Clemson to 38 percent shooting and outrebounded the Tigers 39-26. The Tar Heels have won three straight since their last-second loss to rival Duke, holding each opponent to 64 or fewer points.
"Everybody thinks that defense is just sweat and slobbering and yelling at guys and stuff, but you've got to know what you're doing," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "I think our guys are more in tune with our defensive principles right now."

Defense and rebounding offered the biggest positives on a day when the Tar Heels didn't look particularly sharp. Then again, they weren't in any serious danger of fumbling away that long winning streak -- an NCAA record for the most consecutive home wins over one opponent -- against the Tigers (13-13, 5-7).
With the win, the Tar Heels kept pace with No. 20 Florida State in a tie atop the league standings. The Seminoles won 76-62 at North Carolina State earlier Saturday, while fifth-ranked Duke can make it a three-way tie again by winning Sunday at Boston College.
The Tar Heels won all three meetings with the Tigers last season, including in the ACC tournament semifinals when they rallied from 14 down and won in overtime. Barnes hit the go-ahead shots in the final 5 minutes of regulation or overtime in all three of those games, and finished with a freshman tournament-record 40 points in the semifinal victory in Greensboro.
He went 9 for 18 from the field and hit three 3-pointers in 31 minutes Saturday.
"I think we're getting better spacing," Barnes said. "When we space out the court, it allows people to be able to work and operate. My teammates, John [Henson] is doing a better job of either posting up and demanding for the ball or clearing out and setting a screen. I'm able to capitalize off that and make things happen."
Henson (13 points) had eight rebounds to lead the effort on the boards, while Zeller and Barnes each added seven, and Reggie Bullock had six.
The Tar Heels also finished with a 16-9 edge in second-chance points.
"Coach always talks about if you're one of the guards, get to the boards," said Bullock, who had 11 points. "With me and Harrison on the wings, we apply a lot of height. It should be easy for us to get boards."
North Carolina led by 15 points in the first half and never let Clemson closer than six in the second before blowing it open late. The Tar Heels also shot 49 percent for the game and 59 percent after halftime, though Williams also looked flustered several times by his team's cruise-control demeanor in the second half.
In fact, Clemson pulled to 47-41 when Tanner Smith knocked down a 3-pointer then followed with a layup in transition at the 12-minute mark. But the Tigers came up empty on four straight possessions with a chance to cut into the lead even more -- three of those were turnovers -- before Henson scored inside to end that opportunity.
"You've got to get North Carolina to a point where they can get a little nervous," Clemson coach Brad Brownell said. "You've got to get it to five minutes or six minutes in the game and it's a couple of possessions, and then you've got a chance. But we couldn't get it."
Instead, UNC's lead grew. By the time Barnes hit a 3-pointer to beat the shot clock with 90 seconds left, UNC led 72-50. And there were soon the familiar chants of "You can't win here!" coming from the Smith Center stands.
Williams had waved off fans from continuing that cheer in past years. This time it was Kendall Marshall, who had already checked out of the game for the afternoon with 13 assists and the victory in hand.
"I don't think it has much to do with extra pressure or anything like that," Smith said of the Tigers' 0-56 streak. "We just didn't make the plays down the stretch that we needed to make."
Andre Young scored 13 points to lead Clemson.

I like WKU and the 2 TDs, but the over is a better bet. TN defense very weak and Petrino will find the weakness. TN in a competitive game at home but last week's opponent didn't give them enough a test to be totally certain of anything. This week will be a better indicator if Jones has turned things around.
Medium play on the over TN 34 WKU 30
If Stoops didn't act like a deer lost in headlights last week and started Max Smith in the second half against the Hilltoppers, Bobby Patrino would be 0 – 1 rolling into Neyland Stadium this weekend. Tennessee has finally got a real coach in place after a series of bums. Vols roll HUGE here…
With that said, put me down for the University of Tennessee minus the chalk and Over the Total for a Nickel a piece please. Thanks!
I agree the Wise Men in Vegas very rarely give you easy ones, but with the caliber of athletes at Tennessee and Butch Jones propensity to lite up a scoreboard, I just don't think that number is high enough my friend…
The big orange will win this game BUT the 131/2 to 14 may be a little much...and butch jones has not had a team of his own they have been chip kelly`s teams...so I will wait and see.

WINNER ! 1st half was too easy Oahuboy. Had the over 1st half as well.
Four INTs in the 1st half for WKU. Can't wait to see what happens in the 2nd half.
I knew that running game the Toppers displayed last week against Kentucky wasn't going to happen against those TRUE SEC athletes in Knoxville!
I'm going out on a limb just a tad bit early here… Cash your tickets at the windows Ladies and Gentlemen because this puppy is a wrap! Nice piece of work Tennessee and Over backers…

Link-local address
In a computer network, a link-local address is a network address that is valid only for communications within the network segment (link) or the broadcast domain that the host is connected to.
Link-local addresses are not guaranteed to be unique beyond a single network segment. Routers therefore do not forward packets with link-local addresses.
For protocols that have only link-local addresses, such as Ethernet, hardware addresses assigned by manufacturers in networking elements are unique, consisting of a vendor identification and a serial identifier.
Link-local addresses for IPv4 are defined in the address block 169.254.0.0/16, in CIDR notation. In IPv6, they are assigned with the prefix fe80::/64, although being defined as the block fe80::/10.[1]
Address assignment[edit]
Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. For Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration. In IPv4,[2] they are normally only used to assign IP addresses to network interfaces when no external, stateful mechanism of address configuration exists, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or when another primary configuration method has failed. In IPv6,[3] link-local addresses are mandatory and required for the internal functioning of various protocol components.
Automatic address configuration of link-local addresses is often non-deterministic as the resulting address cannot be predicted. However, in IPv6 it is usually derived automatically from the interface media access control (MAC) address in a rule-based method.
In RFC 3927, the Internet Engineering Task Force has reserved the address block 169.254.0.0/16. From this block, the address range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 may be used for link-local addressing in Internet Protocol Version 4. Link-local addresses are assigned to interfaces by host-internal, i.e. stateless, address autoconfiguration when other means of address assignment are not available.[2]
RFC 3927 warns against the simultaneous use of IPv4 addresses of different scope,[4] such as configuring link-local addresses as well as globally routable addresses on the same interface. Therefore, hosts search for a DHCP server on the network before assigning link-local addresses.
In the automatic address configuration process, network hosts select a random candidate address within the reserved range and use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) probes to ascertain that the address is not in use on the network. If a reply is received to the ARP, it indicates the candidate IP address is already in use; a new random candidate IP address is then created and the process repeated. The process ends when there is no reply to the ARP, indicating the candidate IP address is available.
When a globally routable or a private address becomes available after a link-local address has been assigned, the use of the new address should generally be preferred to the link-local address for new connections but communication via the link-local address is still possible.[5]
Microsoft refers to this address autoconfiguration method as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).[6] It is sometimes also casually referred to as auto-IP.
In the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), the address block fe80::/10 has been reserved for link-local unicast addressing.[3] To conform to standard /64 addressing on subnets, the actual link local addresses are assigned with the prefix fe80::/64.[7] The 54 bits after the most significant ten bits must be zero.
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 requires a link-local address on every network interface on which the IPv6 protocol is enabled, even when routable addresses are also assigned.[8] Consequently, IPv6 hosts usually have more than one IPv6 address assigned to each of their IPv6-enabled network interfaces. The link-local address is required for IPv6 sublayer operations of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol, as well as for some other IPv6-based protocols, such as DHCPv6.
When using an IPv6 link-local address to connect to a host, a zone index must be added to the address so that the packets can be sent out on the correct interface.
In IPv6, addresses may be assigned by automatic (stateless) or stateful (e.g. manual) mechanisms. Stateless address autoconfiguration is performed as a component of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP),[9] as specified in RFC 4862. The address is formed from its routing prefix and the MAC address of the interface.
Through NDP routing prefix advertisements, a router or server host may announce configuration information to all link-attached interfaces which causes additional IP address assignment on the receiving interfaces for local or global routing purposes. This process is sometimes also considered stateless, as the prefix server does not receive or log any individual assignments to hosts. Uniqueness is guaranteed automatically by the address selection methodology. It may be MAC-address based according to RFC 4862, or randomized according to RFC 4941. Automatic duplicate address detection algorithms prevent assignment errors.
Media access control[edit]
Media access control (MAC) addresses used in local broadcast networks, such as Ethernet, are link-local addresses. Such devices are configured with an address in hardware by the manufacturer. However, operating system utilities, such as ifconfig may be used to assign or change these addresses. This is essential when an operating system is running in a virtual machine environment.

The oft-injured and formerly retired Townsend is nothing more than organizational depth at this point. Ignore him in all Fantasy leagues. (Updated 02/06/2010). |
This is assuming they do not tender a contact to either E5 or Bautista. We are going to have a hell of a lot of cash to spend next off season. Over at mlbtraderumors they have a link for potential 2011 MLB free agents. A couple of interesting names are: Carl Crawford, Manny, Jason Werth, Adam Dunn, Carlos Pena, Josh Beckett, Cliff Lee. There are going to be quite a few studs on the market barring any contract extensions in season.
As she oversees the transition to AstroTurf, Kelly Keyes is mindful that a quicker conversion will lead to more stadium bookings. But she also wants "a field that works for the Blue Jays" and their fans.
"Reducing the number of seams will be better for baseball, even just from a visual standpoint," Keyes said. "From what we've seen, the fibres really stand up and it should hide a lot of the seams."
I have to officially go on record and say: I think Rogers is going to sell the team. Maybe not right now, but soon.
What do people do when they decide to sell their home?
Clear out all the junk and make it look pretty. Just saying.
Consider that the struggling Nationals finished last overall, partly due to payroll concerns, then were forced to pay the largest bonus in history to keep No. 1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg, a left-handed ace, from going back to university.
I imagine that one of the cutbacks over at The Star due to the global recession was sports editors. Wow. Dick, listen, I know you're trying really hard. And you do sometimes write something that is kinda insightful. But any chance of me taking you seriously as an expert fly out the window when you say shit like this. Google the name Stephen Strasburg and what is the first thing you see Dick? First fucking sentence.
A casual fan friend of mine at work today asks me: "What is there to be excited about with the Blue Jays for this upcoming season?"
I paused for a moment, reflected, and came back with: "I got nothing." Normally the answer would be Doc on the mound every five days but now.....

For me, the Loggie demo was the only room playing real "music". All others were too interested in demoing whiz bang demonstration discs . Thanks go to Robin for his hospitality. I could have stayed in your room all day getting lost in the music.
Acapella and more from Loggie Audio & Aaudio Imports
Here, the sound was different. Instead of Einstein and friends in the Venetian, associated components in the Emeryville Hilton included the Bergmann Sindre Airbearing turntable and tonearm (21,000); Ypsilon CDT0100 CD transport/player ($26,000), DAC-100 valve DAC ($29,000), VPS-100 valve phono stage ($26,000), kMC-16 step up transformer ($2800), PST-100 Mk.II preamp ($37,000), and Aelius monoblocks ($34,000, but unspecified if each or for the pair); Stage III cabling, ranging from the 1m Gryphon interconnects ($5800 for 1m RCA, $6300 for 1m XLR) to the Zyklop power cable ($6000 1.5m); Acapella Reference La Musika Speaker cables ($21,000 for 2.5m); and the Weizhi PRS-6 pure power distributor ($3200) equipped and Gold Glory copper/graphite isolation feet ($1295). I'm also certain that CDs were treated with the excellent Audiotop spray.
The first thing I discovered is how different the tweeter of the Acapellas sounds standing and sitting. You definitely want your ears optimally positioned to get the best from these babies. Although focusing on the music was a challenge due to lots of talking at the side of the large room, I missed the lowest notes of cellos and double basses on the opening of Mahler's Symphony No.2, as well as the sparkle and depth heard at the Venetian. Then again, sparkle was missing in so many rooms that I begin to wonder if the voltage in the Hilton was not extremely low. Nonetheless, the sound was quite good, especially higher in the range. I look forward to auditioning some of these components at our BAAS demo next weekend.

Gov. Branstad Orders Flags At Half-Staff This Weekend To Honor Sgt. Joseph A. Richardson
Date posted - November 29, 2012
Des Moines — Governor Branstad has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor an Iowa soldier who died in Afghanistan.
The governor has ordered all flags in the state to be flown at half-staff from 5 p.m. Friday, November 30, to 8 a.m. on Monday, December 3, to honor 23-year-old Sgt. Joseph A. Richardson of Algona, who died while on patrol with the U.S. Army in Paktika province, Afghanistan, on November 16, 2012.
Sgt. Richardson's funeral will be held Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Algona. Maj. Gen. Timothy Orr, adjutant general of the Iowa National Guard, will be in attendance to represent the Branstad/Reynolds administration.
The governor's directive applies to all U.S. and state flags under the control of the state. Law requires federal government agencies in the state to comply with the governor's executive order that the U.S. flag be flown at half-staff in the event of the death of a member of the Armed Forces.
Flags will be at half-staff on the state Capitol building and on flag displays in the Capitol complex, and upon all public buildings, grounds, and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time as a sign of respect.

A Family Gathering Place and a Columbus Landmark Since 1939 — Located in German Village
on the corner of Sycamore and Parsons. ***We have 14 TVs now to watch your favorite game!!***
Our history begins in 1939. Plank's Cafe, 743 Parsons Ave., was founded long before there was such an area known as German Village, which is the historic area south of downtown Columbus where we are located. The founder, Walter Plank, saw an opportunity after Prohibition and he ran with it. Plank's son, the late Walter Plank Jr., eventually took over from his father and ushered the cafe into the next era. Today, the third generation of Planks - brothers Tom and John, and sister Mary - keep the faith of this true community gathering place. Plank's Café continues to build on its legacy as a destination eatery for the many downtowners who love the cafe's noon-time spreads.
Banquet rooms are available for private parties, with seating for 40-80 people.
There's plenty of free parking available and we also have WiFi!!!

Story highlights
- The Science Museum hosts first major UK exhibition of Joan Fontcuberta's controversial photography
- Known for playing with reality and fiction, the artist has fooled institutions with his 'false' records of strange animals
- Fusing science with storytelling, Stranger than Fiction promises to delve deep into the mind of a renowned prankster
(CNN)There's only one way to start an interview with Joan Fontcuberta. Why, I ask him, should I believe a word he says?
"I like that question," says the pre-eminent Spanish conceptual artist, when we meet in the café at London's Science Museum.
"I believe that doubting is the first step to rational knowledge. Not doubting implies submission, which is dangerous."
If truth be told, there are more reasons to doubt Fontcuberta than anyone else.
After all, this is the man who has pranked, dodged and bamboozled his way to the top of the art world.
Fake files
In 1987, in an exhibition called Fauna, he pretended that he had stumbled across the hidden archives of a German zoologist called Dr Peter Ameisenhaufen, which contained samples of animals previously unknown to science.
Ten years later, he convinced the world that a Russian cosmonaut had been lost in space in 1967, and the disappearance covered up.
The hoax fooled Spanish TV, which reported it as fact before realizing that the cosmonaut's name, Ivan Istochnikov, was a Russian translation of the artist's own name.
And at the age of 59, the diminutive, bearded Fontcuberta has lost none of his enthusiasm for "playing with conceptions of authority".
Last month he pretended to "curate" an exhibition in Paris called the Trepat Collection, which mixed genuine photographs from the Forties and Fifties with his own pastiche, passing it all off as a single archive.
From now to November, the Science Museum -- that bastion of empiricism -- is hosting a major retrospective exhibition of Fontcuberta's work, entitled Stranger than Fiction.
It starts with taxidermy, including a squirrel with a snake's tail and a winged goat; moves on to photographs of "constellations" that are actually specks of dust on a car windscreen; and ends with pictures of the artist himself performing "miracles", such as levitation, in the garb of a Christian monk.
The exhibition is visually arresting, subversively humorous, and infernally clever. It is also deeply unsettling.
So what is it about Fontcuberta that makes him so intent on fooling the world?
Explosive moment
"When I was 13, I was experimenting in chemistry and I blew up my hand," he says, sipping espresso.
"I was interested in testing things, and was building rockets with gunpowder. Pyrotechnical stuff. It was wonderful, very effective. But one Sunday my parents were away traveling, and I was alone with my cousin.
"And I blew up my hand.
"Psychologically, this was very strong. It changed my whole life. I started hiding my hand so people didn't see my problem, which produced very complex human relationships. Life became about multiple truths."
Because of his damaged hand, he continues, he was excluded from military service, giving him "time to play with photography".
As he couldn't handle the camera quickly, photojournalism was out. So he became a "meditative photographic artist".
He shows me the stump of his left index finger. I am skeptical.
He has told other journalists that he lost his finger while building a "homemade bomb".
Is he taking me for a ride -- or them? (Or has this interview made me paranoid?)
"Well, you could consider it a bomb," he says.
"Half and half. I used to make explosive artifacts and throw them out of the window. I also did underwater explosives with sodium. I made miniature submarines and ships, and blew them up with mines."
The world of Joan Fontcuberta is strange indeed.
Propaganda machine
Bombs and rockets aside, it was the political climate in which he came of age that informed Fontcuberta's career.
Prior to 1975, Franco ruled Spain as a dictatorship.
The climate of repression and the ubiquity of propaganda in Fontcuberta's childhood led him to a preoccupation with challenging authority in all its forms.
"Franco is no longer the enemy, but to me he was just one particular historical manifestation of authoritarianism," he says.
"I struggle against every type of authority, in religion, science, politics, and art. I don't believe in hierarchies."
Does that make him a Socialist? "I am a bizarre combination of socialism with anarchy thrown in," he says.
"But I'm also a pragmatist. I recognize that a representative democracy is necessary. But it has risks, and we must keep paying attention to the system. That's why I call myself an anarchist. I'm trying to fix the problems of authoritarianism that might occur in a representative democracy."
An irreverent eye
He illustrates this by citing photography. Documentary photojournalism, he says, is valuable as an "eye in the distance", showing people things to which they otherwise would never be exposed.
His role is that of the "oculist", ensuring that the eye remains accurate by questioning the veracity of what it shows us.
Religion is a favorite target.
Although he was brought up a Catholic, as a teenager he experimented with Zen and other alternative religions, before becoming a committed agnostic.
"The reason I often joke about religious belief is that it brings us to dogma, and to me dogma is stupidity," he says.
"I don't agree with faith. I think we should keep a questioning mind."
So what next for Fontcuberta? "I have lots of ideas and not enough time," he says.
"People often get angry with me, and accuse me of being a liar. But I never lie. I just create ambiguities and encourage people to question things."
He sighs, and drains his coffee. "My mother is always warning me that one day I will finish in jail. But I have more trust in humanity than that."
Joan Fontcuberta: Stranger than Fiction is showing at the Science Museum, London, from 23 July -- 9 November 2014

(Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter! Now before you read i want to let you know that I wanted to encounter the Black Widow in a different way. Just like with Tigerman, it will be in a dangerous situation. Anyway,I'm going to shut up now and let you read it. Here is the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it! ^.^)
Quest 7
"Fateful Reunion"
"Aiden...is that really you?"
Reya couldn't believe her eyes! Was it him, or was it some kind of trick her mind was playing on her? She started to walk towards him, expecting him to disappear. As she got closer, he got more descriptive and detailed. Confusion clouded her thoughts as she looked at him. He was dirty from head to toe, his face was pale and his eyes lifeless. She looked down to his hands, which were dirty and bloody. Did he dig himself out of his grave? She felt like throwing up at the thought that he had to dig himself up. The guilt grabbed at Reya like she had a knife in her back. Was he not dead? Did she leave him there to die? A sigh from Aiden broke Reya's thoughts. He was giving off a weird smirk, like Reya had made a joke or something.
"I think so, last time I checked anyway. Don't tell me you have forgotten me already, Reya." his gaze was strange and ominous...like it wasn't even him at all.
"A-Aiden..." Reya's voice became shaky as she was trying to stop herself from crying and running over to him. "You're dead...well...you were..." she turned to face Clouse and Risa who were just as shocked and confused as she was. She noticed Clouses' eyes widen in shock as he yelled out to her.
"Reya! Behind you!"
As she turned around, a tight and painful grip encircled her neck as Aiden grabbed her throat.
"Reya! Aiden what are you doing! STOP!" Risa yelled out to him but he just stood there with his hand around Reya's throat.
It hurt...she couldn't breathe! Trying desperately to break free, she grabbed on to Aiden's wrists to try and pry his hands off her throat. Realizing what she was doing, Aiden fought back by slamming her into the nearest wall.
"A-Aiden...stop...your" she choked trying to get some air in her lungs "hurting me." his grip grew tighter and tighter. Was she going to die?
"Why did you leave me! It was you and that stupid pendents fault that I died! You left me there to die, Reya! I will never forgive you!"
Reya couldn't believe what she was hearing. Aiden blamed her for his death? There was no way he could think that after everything he said to her that terrible day. Her vision started to fail on her...her hands dropped to her sides as Aiden held her against the wall.
"Aiden stop! Let her go! You died protecting her remember? Please Aiden...let her go."
Aiden quickly turned his head to Clouse and Risa with an evil glare.
"You're one to talk, Clouse! You and Risa ran away like a bunch of cowards and didn't bother to help us! I should kill you for not helping me!"
Aiden suddenly let Reya go and grabbed his sword from its hilt next to Reya. He began running toward Clouse, yelling in rage. Reya began coughing and gasping for air as she watched Clouse dodged Aiden's attacks. He wasn't going to be able to dodge anymore if she didn't do something. As the fight went on, Risa saw something on Aiden's back, she couldn't get a good view so she went to another side of the room for a better look. She felt uneasy as she watched her brother desperately dodging Aiden's attacks. She looked on Aiden's back and noticed something glowing, it was a...flower? It had had five different colored petals and emitted a unnatural glow which almost seemed to go around Aiden's whole body. A yell from Aiden broke her thoughts and saw him running wildly toward her brother. Clouse braced himself to dodge but as he looked, Aiden was coming at him fast. Really fast...too fast for him to dodge this time.
"Damn! How did he get faster all of a sudden!* he awaited the blow but...nothing. Just a strong push against his shoulder caused him to fall backwards away from Aiden's attack. He looked to see who pushed him and gasped in horror as Reya, narrowly dodging the blade, was struck on her shoulder by Aiden's blade. She quickly grabbed her arm, the blood oozing through her fingers and down her arm. She winced in pain and stood up. She held her arms out, protecting Clouse in case Aiden attacked again.
"Reya...w-why did you do that?"
Reya was silent for a few minutes but turned her head towards him. "I...didn't want him to hurt you. He is mad at me so...this is between me and him, okay?"
Clouse couldn't say anything. The look on Reya's face said it all...she wanted everyone to be safe. Even if it meant she would be the one to take the fall. Clouse expected Aiden to go for the final blow...but he was just standing there. In Aiden's mind flashes of the night he died returned to him and his lifeless eyes streamed tears of guilt. "R-Reya..." he started screaming and holding his head. He fell to the floor in a bundled up heap and began writhing in pain and confusion.
"A-Aiden..." *Is he regaining his consciousness?* Clouse just looked at him...wondering how he became this way.
Risa ran to Reya and Clouse pointing to Aiden's back.
"Clouse, Reya, look on his back. What is that? It has an unnatural aura to it. I think that thing is controlling him!"
"C-Clouse..." Aiden was fighting his own body trying to gain control. "Y-you have...to...kill me. P-Please..."
"A-Aiden I...you know I can't do that."
"You have to...I don't...know how long I...can stop...myself."
"NO!" everyone looked to see Reya almost to tears.
"No...I just got you back! You can't do this to me! You can't expect me to go through this again after all I have been through!" she clenched her fist, fighting back the tears threatening to stream down her cheeks.
"I have an idea...Aiden try as hard as you can to continue to control your body. Reya and Risa, grab both of Aiden's arms." All did as they were told and Clouse walked behind Aiden. "Okay...now comes the hard part...I'm going to cut the flower from his back but..."
"But what? What's wrong Clouse, just do it." Risa prodded.
"It's not that simple...for all we know the flower could have a tie to the whole body meaning..."
"Meaning what?" Reya asked. Concern in her voice.
"Meaning that if I cut the flower, Aiden could die. However if we don't do this, we will have to kill him anyway...so either way you look at it, he might die."
"Do it."
Everyone stared at Aiden with worried eyes.
"Hey... don't look at me like that. If anything I...would rather risk dying this way rather than...forcing one of you to kill me. I believe in you guys...and I know you can do it." everyone could tell that Aiden was trying with all his might to keep control of his body.
"Risa let's trade places. You know the makings of the body and pressure points. You have a better idea as to where this thing would take hold of him. Which makes you the better person to strike the flower so you can hit it in the right spot."
"Okay...I'll do it."
Aiden looked over to Reya who was staring into space trying not to lose control of herself. She had to stay calm, for Aiden and for everyone else. Aiden's body suddenly began thrashing around.
"Hurry...I'm losing...control!" Reya and Clouse held on for dear life trying to keep Aiden's body still.
"Hurry up Risa!"
"Okay, okay, don't rush me! I have to find a good spot." she focused and looked at all the pressure points on the body. When she finally found one, she lifted the sword. "Here we go! Pray this works!" she pierced the sword into the middle and jammed it in an upward angle. Aiden flinched back and collapsed on the floor. Reya grabbed him and started yelling his name.
"Aiden! AIDEN! He's not waking up! We have to get him to a doctor now!"
"I'll go run out and get some of the guards to carry him." Clouse immediately ran out and made his way through the tunnels of the well.
"Hurry!" Reya screamed. Something caught her eye in the corner of the room. There was a shadowy figure on the ceiling but as quickly as it came...it quickly disappeared.
*What was that?* Reya thought.
Eversun City
A small spider demon watches as the guards of the palace carry a young man into the palace on a stretcher. A look of hatred plastered his face as the adventurers follow right behind. He gazed at the sapphire pendent around the young Shura's neck.
*If only those three were asleep! I could have easily taken that pendent from the girls head! Mistress will be so angry with me! Not only that but when she hears that the spell on the boy is broken...* a shudder ran through the spider demon's body.
He quickly changed back to his human disguise and left the area. Running through the center of town, he makes his way to the north gate. Hiding himself in a narrow alley he notices a woman with long brown hair, purple face tattoos and a dark pink dress waiting for him. He got down on one knee and bowed.
"The boy is...not under the spell anymore mistress."
"Yes, I know. No matter, I have other ways to bring that girl to me."
"Will the boy die?" the demon asked excitedly.
"No...he regained his consciousness when the girl got hurt. That means he will have a strong will to live."
"Dammit! Now he will want revenge mistress. What do we do-"
"QUIET! I have another plan. Direct orders from Phoenix herself. There is another human that she has taken control of. She is sending him to me as a servant. He is far better than that other boy."
"Who is it my most evil queen?" the demon asked curiously.
"All in good time, my pet. I want to pay our little pendent keeper a visit."
Emperors Palace
Reya sat at the edge of the medical cot. The apothecary was preparing some potions while the doctor was cleaning Aidens' wounds. She smiled weakly, relieved that he was alive. The steady rise and fall of his chest proved that. What happened down there? Who was controlling Aiden and how did they revive him? Could it have been the mysterious figure she saw leaving the scene? Those questions repeated themselves over and over in her head. For now she was thankful that Aiden was alive...that was all that mattered to her right now. The doctor placed his hand on her shoulder.
"The worst is over. We just need to check on him every now and then. We will constantly wash and re-dress his wounds. Once the potions are done, he will recover with lots of rest." he began to walk out of the room when he turned around to speak to her again. "You should go get some sleep. He will be fine with the apothecary. If you have anymore pain, come back to see me and I will give you some more medicine for your arm, okay?"
"Okay...thank you."
"Alright, I will see you bright and early in a few days to check and see how your arm is doing. Until then, please get some sleep. It's not good for a warrior like yourself to not get any rest."
Reya didn't want to leave Aiden alone, but exhaustion began to tug at her so she decided to head back to the rooms.
"Don't worry, I'll look after him. Oh and here is that potion for the pain."
"Thank you."
She left the doctor's room and began walking down the hall. She didn't realize how tired she was until everything was said and done. She opened the door the suite where she was staying with Clouse and Risa. As she entered, Clouse and Risa quickly stood up, awaiting news of their friend.
"Is he okay?" he asked
"Yeah...the worst is pretty much over. He just needs some rest."
"Thank god..." he sighed in relief and plopped back onto the couch.
"It's the real Aiden right? You don't think its another trap to get your pendent is it?" Risa asked curiously
"I know it's him! Think about it...if it wasn't him, and some other demon, wouldn't he have killed me without hesitation?"
"True but you never know. Demons can be pretty crafty."
"Well, let's get some sleep. We all need it after what happened tonight."
"Sounds good to me. Not like we have anything else better to do. I'm SO tired, I could sleep all week if I could."
Everyone entered their own rooms while yelling goodnight to each other. The room remained quiet and all went to sleep.
Three days later...
"Reya! NO!" Aiden shot up from his bed from a nightmare. A sharp pain pierced his chest and he quickly grabbed it. He looked around the room, wondering where he was. His chest and his hands were bandaged and the room smelled like herbs. A woman was tending to a bowl with herbs and oils inside. She was pounding it into medicine. Hearing his scream, she turned around in surprise and smiled.
"You're finally awake. The young Shura will be happy to hear this. How do you feel?"
"Like I got hit by runaway carriage...what happened?" he continued to grab his chest. The bandages had now been tainted with blood.
"You had terrible scratches on your knuckles and fingers. As well as a deep wound in your chest. It's remarkable that your still alive after a injury like that. Gods be praised for your miraculous recovery. I'll go get the doctor and we'll see if you can leave, okay?" she walked out of the room and went down the hall.
Aiden sat there for a few minutes. Thinking about his injuries. That's right! The fire...and Muso...Reya was in danger! Where was she? Was she okay? Did she escape from the demon? The apothecary did say there was a Shura girl here...that she would be happy to know that he was awake. Was it Reya? Aiden didn't want to wait, he immediately got up and stepped out of the room. He was amazed at the incredible architecture of the building. He continued to walk down the hall and he saw two large double doors at the end of the hall. A woman was walking by with some towels and breakfast trays. She was humming a light tune and talking to herself every now and then.
"Excuse me, where am I?" he asked
"Huh? You don't know? Your in the palace. I'm just leaving the hero and her friends' room. The two sylphs went to town and the young Shura is in the courtyard with all the children. She is quite the character. Most heroes I've seen are pompous and ignorant, greedy and selfish! It puts the heroes of old to shame. Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to work."
"Where is the courtyard?" he asked
"You can go down this hall, take a left, then there should be to sliding doors. It takes you to the porch just near the courtyard. Or you can go through the heroes room, they have full access to the courtyard. Are you a friend?"
"Yes, ma'am. I've known her since childhood."
"Aww, how sweet. Well I'm sure she will be happy to see you." she glanced down at hes chest and blushed, but soon realized that there was blood on the bandages. "Should you be up? The doctor is out on errands right now."
"I'll be fine. I just reopened it. I'll go back as soon as I've seen the hero. Did you happen to hear her name by any chance?"
"Yes...um...let me see...what was her name again...I believe it was Reya. If I'm not mistaken."
"Great. Thank you!" he ran off and went into the room that the servant just came out of. He stared in awe at the room that had been given to them. *I wonder how she managed to pay for this.* he thought to himself as he looked around the room. He noticed a school uniform hanging on a clothesline on the porch. It was ripped up and there were a few small bloodstains on it. Did she get hurt? Just as he was stepping out to the courtyard, a sweet melody entered his ears. A light, what seemed like heavenly, voice was singing a lullaby. He looked around and saw Reya with a bunch of children. He listened to the song intently and realized it was the same song that her mother use to sing to them when they were kids.
"Children, it's time for breakfast! Come on in!" a servant called from the right.
Reya patted a little boy on the head and smiled. She started to walk toward the doors where he was and suddenly gasped as she looked at him. It was quiet between the two and Reya suddenly placed her hands over her mouth. Tears began to well up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Aiden stepped off the porch slowly and continued to walk towards her. Reya ran towards him, her heart racing in delight and anxiety. They collided into an embrace and Reya began to sob in Aiden's chest.
"Aiden! Oh, Aiden! You're awake...you're awake! Thank the gods!" she continued to sob.
Aiden was quiet...he had never heard Reya cry this hard before. The time passing as they embraced felt like an eternity. He could finally hold the woman he loved. Just in this moment, he had never been so happy to be alive. Holding the woman he loved was all that mattered to him and nothing could stop him from loving her. He remembered that day as he laid dying, how he told her he loved her...just as he slipped away, he saw her lips spell out 'I love you' and he remembered smiling...glad that he protected her...but unfortunately, with his own life. He remembered how desperately he wanted to live and stay by her side. What seemed like a few minutes turned out to be two days before the strange woman brought him back to life. That woman! She was the one who put the spell on him! She was the one who controlled him! A feeling of anger welled up inside of him. He then calmed himself down, fearing that he would worry Reya. He grabbed her arms and realized one of them was bandaged. He looked at it...a feeling of guilt drilling into his heart.
"Did I do that to you?" he asked asked as he stared at the bandages that encircled her small, delicate arm.
"Yeah...but technically it wasn't you-" she grabbed her arm and looked at him with concerned eyes as he cut her off.
"How could I be so stupid! Hurting you like that!" Aiden clenched his fists in anger.
"Aiden...it wasn't your fault. You were being controlled. I should be the one asking how you're doing." she placed her hands on his chest in reassurance, wondering why he was out of bed and not resting.
"I'm...okay." Aiden grew silent and Reya hugged him tightly.
"Why aren't you in bed? Your wounds haven't fully healed yet and you must still be exhausted!"
"I'm fine, really. I just...couldn't stop thinking of you. When the apothecary told me you were here, I had to see you. I just...can't believe I'm alive. It almost makes you think if there's a catch."
"What? No! You can't disappear! Not again!" she buried her head in his chest, holding him as tightly as she could.
Aiden ran his fingers through Reya's dark brown hair.
"Don't worry...I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
"I'm just glad you're alive...that's all I want." she continued to hold onto him. Praying that she would stay with him forever.
"Reya...I'm so sorry. You must have gone through a lot after that day..." memories of that awful day flashed into Aiden's mind. He felt so sorry for her. What happened that day after he died? Did Reya kill the demon? Or did he escape?
"Yeah...it was hard, but that demon got what was coming to him. Even...even if at one point he was our friend." a look of sadness clouded Reya's eyes.
"Friend? I wouldn't of called Muso MY friend. He was such an asshole! To think he was a demon all this time...bastard got what he deserved for hurting you like that."
"I guess..."
It got quiet between the two again when Clouse and Risa entered the courtyard from a gate near the city.
"Reya! We gotta go! There's trouble in the city, there is an evil demon holding a little boy hostage and...um...am I interrupting?"
Clouse and Risa just stared at the two embracing each other. They both blushed bright red and quickly got off each other. Clouse and Risa's eyes widened when they realized who the boy was.
"Aiden! Oh my god you're awake! How are you feeling man!"
"Hey Clouse...Risa...how are you guys? Sorry for worrying you like that."
"No worries! However, we have a big problem! Reya we have to go, now!"
"Why? What's going on Clouse?" Reya looked at him with worried eyes.
"There's some kind of demon disguised as a human. He is holding a little boy hostage and yelling 'Find the pendent bearer or this child dies!' or something like that. We have to go help him!"
"Okay, Aiden stay here, your wounds haven't fully healed and another fight won't do you any good. Hopefully all will go well and no one gets hurt."
"Let me come too. I'll help."
"No...I won't lose you again...not after what happened that day. Please...just stay here." she ran off with Clouse and Risa, then disappeared from sight. As Reya, Clouse and Risa ran past the palace to the town center, they ran into Councilman Reese.
"Councilman Reese! Do me a huge favor and go make sure that Aiden doesn't leave our room. He is no condition to fight and needs to rest."
"Very well, heroine. I will do as you command."
"If I find out he has left, I will hold you responsible! Trust me...you do NOT want to piss me off. Got it?"
Councilman Reese just stood there. He nodded and ran to the palace.
"Reya...don't you think that was a bit much?" Risa asked
"Nope. He'll be fine as long as he does that simple task.
A humorous sigh came from Clouse.
"Yeah, but his is Aiden we're talking about. You know how stubborn he can be. I'm sure he'll think of a clever way to get by him."
They continued walking towards the crowd, wondering what to expect when they got there.
Aiden didn't want to stay. He wanted to go with the others. He quickly went inside and got dressed into some clothes and picked up his sword.
"You're not thinking about leaving are you? Your wounds haven't healed yet." a shrill voice scared Aiden and he quickly turned around.
"Who are you?" Aiden asked
"I am Councilman Reese. I have been sent by the emperor and your Shura friend to make sure you don't leave this room."
"They might need my help. I'm going too." Aiden placed his sword in its hilt and made his way to the door. Councilman Reese, realizing what he was doing, got in front of him and gave Aiden a stern look.
"I can not break a promise, Mr. Aiden. Miss Reya will have my hide if I let you go."
"Well...what if I asked you nicely? Will that work?"
Councilman Reese shook his head in a dismissive manner. "Absolutely not!"
"Well this is a problem. Guess I have no choice then do I?"
"Yes. You must stay here and let your wounds heal. A warrior who doesn't rest is a dead warrior, I always say. A warrior has a duty to the people and for their-" he continued to lecture on, giving Aiden a perfect chance to escape. He ran through the courtyard when he heard Councilman Reese yelling at him.
"Mr. Aiden! Come back! You can't go, it's too dangerous! Mr. Aiden!"
"Sorry! I need to go get some training in. I'll apologize to Reya for you!" he ran out the gate and headed for town square. He heard screaming coming from the north so he headed in that direction. As he got closer and closer, he heard Reya's voice in the distance.
"Let the boy go! Who are you?"
He finally took a sharp right turn towards the commotion when he finally saw the large crow of people. Reya, Clouse and Risa were in the front looking up. Aiden glanced up and saw a man holding on to a small boy. The little boy was crying out to his mother, who was screaming out to him as well.
"Listen up! If you don't want the boy to die, you'll do as I say. Got it?" he held a blade to the boy's throat.
"Don't hurt him! Okay. What do you want?" Reya gave the signal for everyone to calm down and put away their weapons.
"I want you pendent. Now give it to me!"
"My pendent! What the hell is so special about it? Everyone wants this damn thing! Why?" Reya clenched her mother's pendent in anger.
"You don't know? Well now it all makes sense! And here I thought you were the daughter of Layle and Udinae...guess I was mistaken."
"How do you know about my parents?" Reya yelled in shock
"Reya!" Clouse, Risa and Reya turned around to see Aiden making his way through the crowd. He gets through and stands next to Reya, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" he looked up at the kidnapper and began to shake his fist at him. "Who the **** are you? What do you want with Reya!"
"hahahahaha, well well well, if it isn't the little pawn we used to get that pendent. Glad to see you back on your feet. Hey, why don't you come help me out here. hahahahaha." he just continued to laugh in an obnoxious manner.
"Quit braying like a damn donkey and tell us what the hell you want!" Reya yelled.
"And why should we, halfbreed?" another voice was heard and right next to the man was a woman. Clad in a dark pink dress she had purple face tattoos and long brown hair. She looked at Reya with ominous eyes and gave off a smirk of disgust.
"YOU! What do you want with Reya?" Aiden shouted at the woman, hands on his blade ready to unsheathe it.
"Simple. She gives me the pendent, and I'll let the little boy go. Now...give it to me." she held out her hand in anticipation. A look of victory plastered on her face.
"Who are you?" Reya asked. Angry that so many demons wanted her pendent so badly.
"You want to know? Then come to the Ferrel Family Crypt. All your pathetic questions will be answered. Don't come and the boy, along with all the other children I've taken, will die."
"You tell me about my pendent NOW! I'm tired of playing games with you!" Reya was ready to charge at her but then stopped herself. Realizing that she would put the little boy in more danger than normal.
"Hahahahaha...all in good time halfbreed...all in good time."
"STOOOOOOP!" Reya tried her best but they both disappeared in a grey smoke...taking the boy with them.
"No..." Reya's head just slumped down. She failed that mother who's child was in danger...she couldn't do anything but watch as he was taken away by yet another demon who wanted the pendent.
Aiden clenched his fists in anger as he watched helplessly as Reya blamed herself for what happened. What did these demons want with a simple pendent? As long as she had the pendent, she would continuously by in danger. He walked over to Reya and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She looked at him, her eyes full of sorrow and anger.
"I couldn't save him...what am I going to tell the mother?" she just walked into him, her forehead resting on his chest.
"It's okay...we'll get them. Don't worry about a thing." he held her close trying to reassure her that it wasn't her fault.
"What do we do?" Reya asked between mild whimpers.
"We'll go after them...and then...we WILL kill her."
(Wow that took a while to write. This is probably the longest one I have done! I mostly wanted to bring out the scene between Reya and Aiden. Overall I hope you all liked it and I hope it made up for the long wait. Who is the strange woman and what is she up to? Who is the other boy that Phoenix has sent to serve this woman? Guess we'll find out in the next chapter. Well review, comment, and rate. Look forward to the next one! ^.^ Next Chapter: Pursuit)
