Rachelle had fully recovered frm her stupor and felt 100% better. She looked Thomas square in the the eye, daring him to say no to what she was about to tell him. "I will not stay out here where it's relatively safe when my people are still in that mess. You can try to stop me, but I'm going back in." She glared over at Johan and Suzan daring them to say anything.

Thomas looked at his wife who had that. Then said: Rachelle this is no longer your fight. The we albinos will finsh the fight. Our forces are much better trained in fighting dear. Right now from my looks of it. Its 5 guard for every scab or so. Not bad but with the Albino guard its 20 scabs to every albino guard. Trust me you will be more in the way. But if you go in you are staying close to me. But I move like lighting at times and I am now leading both armys here. BUt I dont want you harmed. I care about you. Your brother and his wife are more then ready for taking care of you. Can you trust them and me for once. The battle for you is over. Albinos have filled the ranks. Many of my ppl are leading the forest guard now. But will you stay with your brother for once I beg you rachelle!!

"In the way? I admit I'm not as fast or as good as you, but those people out there are MY responsibility." Rachelle sighed. " You know that any other time I would gladly do whatever you asked me to do.." She stopped midsentence. "Wait......my brother? What are you talking about? Forget it. We'll talk later when this is all over. Just go." Rachelle turned and walked up a small incline so she could see the battlefield better. Great, she thought to herself. Thomas just came back, and they had already had an argument. Rachelle realized that there was some serious catching up to do, but right now was not the time for arguing or anything else. The more important thing was jeeping the Horde out of the forest and driving them back into the desert.

Thomas grab his wife by the arm then said: Look if you go into battle you stay close to me and your brother. That is the only way I am letting you go in to battle. Do I have your word that you will stay close to us? Plz Rachelle it would break my heat I cant let a thing happen to you. Eylon sent me back to save you and kara and our ppl. Why do you think the army of albinos are here. Plz Stay close to me and your brother. Will you for my sake if any?

"All right. I'll stay here. You guys go ahead. I'll stay out of it. But, would you at least allow me to go check on everyone in the village? I promise you I won't be spotted or followed. If I can do that I wouldn't feel completely helpless. Besides I need to make sure they are all right."

Thomas let go and said: You got your self a deal wife. But I am sending one of my trust ppl with you. Suzan if anything gets harry she will be there with fruit just in case. Suzan stay with her. Johan lets lead our armys now. With that both men hoped back on there horse and rode down to battle barking orders and fighting the horde. Suzan walked up to Rachelle and said: I hope you understand why your husband did that. He cares about you deaply. His skills are far better then you ever have known. Before he was in conflet with himself so he could not show his true skills as a warrior but now he can. He is at peace with him self for the first time in years for him. What do you say we check on our ppl now in the forest. Suzan gave a wink and said: You had a child did you? Then suzan could see a scab comming up to them. and pulled out her bow and fired a arrow right into the scab killing him. Suzan raise her hand and told the archers to fire and with that arrows well aimed fired and hit the horde. Now the horde was in trouble. The armys where over welleaming them now.

Rachelle watched the arows rain down on the Scabs, and wondered how Suzan could have known about Leah. There was no way Thomas could know either. Rachelle didn't even know until after he had left. Oh well. She wouldn't worry about that now. "Let's go. I want to check on everyone and make sure they're all right." They started to head off in the direction of the village. "I do understand that Thomas worries too much. I don't think he realizes that things have changed here since he left. Or that I've changed some too. The reason we clashed back there was because I'm so used to being in charge, it's hard to let go. I have a feeling that things are definately going to be different. There is no way it can go back to being the exact way it was before. And my daughter has little to do with it. I mean, that is the biggest change, but We are both different people now. We all have some adjusting to do. I am glad he's back though, and I am looking forward to getting to know the new Thomas." They weren't very far from the village now, and soon it came into sight. "Thank Elyon, the horde hasn't been here."

Suzan smiled and said: I think you will find Thomas to be a better father then you might guess Rachelle. Trust me I know alot more about Thomas I know then you might think. Trust me he cares about you. Whats more I guessed by the way you looked that you had a child. We woman can tell about each other remember. But trust me Thomas is a man who skills are more then meets the eye. Suzan keep a eye on edge of the forest glad to see every thing look like it did before the horde took over there forest. Suzan then said: Trust me Johan can fight for him self out there. Him and Thomas are the best of freinds. Trust me your brother will help fend off the horde tho I am not sure how long we will be here once the horde is gone. I got a feeling we needed where we come from. Now if you want to learn any thing about them feel free. I am a open book about them. She grinned. Keep watch full eye on the forest never knowing when a scab would come at them. Then she said: Where are the forest people any way rachelle? I get nevis when I dont see any one around here.

It was Rachelle's turn to grin. "Like I said. A lot has changed. We prepared for the worst, though we never planned on having to use these..." Rachelle knocked three times on a wall pannel, then pushed it aside. "We dug tunnels just in case. Everyone has been down here since last night." Rachelle started down the stairs. "Johan! It's me. I'm coming down." Rachelle gave Johan a hug when they reached the bottom. Leah waddled over to her and Rachelle picked her up, filling everyone in on what was happening.

Suzan looked around it was not a bad idea for the albinos to try just incase the horde attack them. so Rachelle and kara had a good idea. So she said: hmmmm not bad we might try it. Our peace with the horde is right now stable. But that could chane any time tho. Its risky being a albino. We dont like to fight unless we need too. Rather run and live other day as Thomas would say. Not a bad saying from the histories I think tho I think it was run and live to figh other day. Still great saying I think is better to run and live other day. Suzan looked over at Leah and could see right away she looked like her mother and her brother inlaw thomas. Suzan now said: She is so cute you know that. She looks just like you and Thomas. More likey has your looks tho. And his brains. LOL Johan now came running down the path and said: Kara has been hurt badly we just got there to see a sword go through her side. We should have plenty of fruit but it will take time to heal. But kara is unable to lead the army. Thomas of Hunter is now leading both armys and pushing the horde back away from the desert. Whats more we may have be able to win shortly.
With that a group of albinos carring kara lead her down into the cave. And lay her down. She was out cold right now. They had stoped her bleeding for now. But she was wounded needless to say.

Rachelle hurried over to Kara, and knelt by her side. "Elyon help." she whispred. Rachelle sat down with Leah in her lap while Johan and Suzan took care of Kara. How she hoped this nightmare would be over soon, and they could all get on with their lives. Quietly, Rachelle prayed that Elyon would be with them as they grieved the loss of the fallen. No one was untouched by the devastation, but Rachlle hoped they hadn't lost as many as she feared.

Johan look at suzan who had some fruit. But now they need to hurry with the fruit. Since the fruit had Eylon's power in it. Johan look at her wound carefully then said: Its not as bad as I feared. She will be fine with our fruit which heals wounds like this. But Kara is out of battle for a time. I fear the wound to her pride in battle maybe more then what our fruit can heal. Thomas said he would be down here soon. When I left we where driving the horde back to where they came from and that is the desert. They should be sounding there retreat any time now.
With that a scab horn sounded letting them know that the horde was in retreat. The Albino army had come. Yet they would regroup and attack again soon. It was only a set back for Combine and Qurong. Who knew what these men would do.
Johan now carefully squeeze some juice in to a cup and said: Eylon you our life and our blood. You sent your son Justin to take away what Teeleh had given us now give back to you what is yours. And that is Kara of Hunter. Take away her wound and heal her now in the same of your Son. With that Johan pored the Juice into kara's deap sword wound and the others watch.

Rachelle sat with Kara for a little while, pryaing that she would be just fine. Leah was starting to get sleepy, so she got up. "I'm going to walk a little to put this squirmy girl to sleep. Please come find me when Thomas gets here." She picked up Leah and started walking the underground pathways. There were torches on the wall that had been lit when the forests dwellers had come down earlier. Leah finally fell asleep listening to her mother talk to her quietly. Rachelle sat down and realized how much the day had taken out of her. She was exhausted, and started to doze off. Some rest would be good, and she was a light sleeper. No one would have trouble waking her.

Thomas stood over looking the battle feild. He would find Rachelle after his ppl where ok. And after the forest dwellers army where ok as well. He had just barly made it before a sword came from a scab to kara's side hitting her. He sent Johan with her riding as fast as he could to get her out of battle. He knew there fruit would heal her as it did with Rachelle. But he had seen the sword come out the other side so it would take little bit for the fruit to do its work. So he took over both armys. Yes it was hard but with Mikil leading the main force of the albinos he was ok with her leading them. As it turned out the battle was most fearce one the forest dwellers here had ever seen. And many many would have died if the albino army of Thomas of Hunter had not shown up.
If the albinos had attack later the forest dwellers would have suffered a greater lose then what they had. But now over looking what had happend. The Albinos using there healing fruit had turned the tide as well. Since any wounds a forest dweller would take a albino would be close to use its fruit on them healing them in time. Thomas heard about only 100 to 300 forest dwellers had been killed.

But the bulk of it had been before the albino army came. During combat with the horde Thomas heard about 50 to 70 forest dwellers died total since the albinos came. Soon he was checking out forest and such trying to find a place for the albinos to stay. Soon he did. Which there was a vallaye not far from here where the albinos would set up camp. Thomas soon found the underground pathway and made his way down to them. He asked look at Johan and said: How is kara doing? Johan: She is now sleeping in a deap deap sleep. The fruit worked brother. It took some time but it did. She should be fine by morning. Thomas look releafed now and said: Thank you Justin. Where is Rachelle any way? Suzan: She is down one of the pathways sleeping. I would check on her down there. Suzan said point down one of the pathways. Thomas: Thanks Suzan. Mikil is with the tribe same with her husband. They are setting up base camp. Be back in a little bit. I got to talk to my wife. They nodded and Thomas went down. Soon he found her sleeping with a child. Could it be? Yes she had a child when he was away. Thomas now felt real bad for leaving her when she needed him the most. They had a child. A little girl. Thomas wondered what Rachelle had named her. Thomas carefull reached down and picked up the little girl and held her in his arms carefull. Since the other Thomas from the other set of realities was a father. Thomas knew what to do. Thomas sat down by his wife and tuched her soft hair with his hand. Then said in not aloud voice so he would not wake there child and he rubbed her side a little where she knew it would be him and said: Rachehlle sweet heart its me Thomas your husband.
Thomas looked at baby girl who was still sleeping in his arms. And watch his wife carefully to see if she would get up.

Rachelle didn't open her eyes, but just leaned against Thomas. It felt so good to have her husband back again. She wanted to just stay there, but reality crept back into her mind, plus there would be plenty of time for them to catch up later. "How did we do? Did we win?" Rachelle already knew the answer to that since here they were, and alive to boot.

Thomas looked at her and said: Yah we won for sure. We got here just in time. Or it could have been alot worst I fear. A bulk of the forest people where killed in the first attack. After we attack you only lose I hear was about 70 forest dwellers. Trust me Rachelle the scabs learned a lession they wont soon forget. Dont attack a forest dweller when a albino is near. Or you could die. Qurong will think 2 before attack us again. And I am back to stay. So what is our child named Rachelle? She is so cutie. Thomas said holding the little girl in his arms.

"Leah. She has been such a blessing to all of us. She has your personality though. Always getting into things." Rachelle laughed. "One day she got some sour fruit and got a large taste of it. The face she made...oh we laughed so hard. She looked just like you." she sighed. "I've missed you Thoams. So much. It's good to have you back again."
(out of story note: Leah from the Hebrew means glad tidings)

Thomas carefully with leah in his one arm pulled Rachelle close with his other arm and held her close and kissed her lips for a second and said: Dont worry I am back to stay. Tho I may have to leave every now and then. But not as long. Justin has given me his word Rachelle. Eylon was testing you. Much things will begin to change for the better. We albinos will help set up a new stronger army then before. Your new army will be 10 times better then before. And you will be by my side for now on. For now on we are staying together. Where I go you go. Unless it becomes to dangeress for you and our child. Since you are a mother and my wife and I will protect you till I die. Right now the albinos are setting up camp in a vallaye near here. I will be comming and going alot between our two groups of people. You need not worry about them and the lake. Tho to respect our ways I am sure they will bath. Tho we have nothing to fear from them. They are our friends. "Thomas now pulled her closer to his side to where rachelle had to get on her knees but thomas did not care. It felt good to have Rachelles skin tuching his and just being with her felt great" You are mine Rachelle. Come on wify lets see how my sister is doing. Johan should know or do you need to rest a little more?
Thomas keep a carefulll hold on leah. He was doing just so he would not do any major move with her. He loved her dearly. And he had his two girls by his side he would be just fine. Leah keep sleeping in her fathers arms not even knowing he was here or who he was. But she sleep like she did in thomas's arms.
Thomas keep Rachelle on her knees with his arm around her wast holding her close to his side. Waiting to hear what she wanted to do next.

As much as she would have liked to stay there forever, Rachelle's leg was starting to cramp. "We should go check on Kara. See if she is awake yet. I'll rest more tonight when we get everything straightened out. We should let everyone knwo it's safe to go back home as well. Start to get back to normal. Or as normal as is possible." She slowly stood up and stretched. Sleeping in her own bed would feel really good after today's events.
