Fear
PROLOGUE
I can't tell for certain if today is the best or the worst day of my life. My name is Crystalin Hawke and I was once no-one and now I am the Champion of Kirkwall. It took me a long and hard journey to get where I am today. And the love of my life, Anders, has a special part in my story. He is the reason I'm not quite sure. The tale starts yesterday when the sun began to go down.
THE MIDNIGHT MEETING
it's been three years since our return from the Deep Roads. I hadn't seen any of my friends, and I planned to see them all today. My last stop was to see Anders in his clinic.
I had always had feelings for Anders, but I never had the strength to tell him how I felt. I walked through the doors and he looked up from a man he just finished healing.
"Oh I'm sorry you look busy I should come back later-" I felt rude for intruding.
"No wait, I'm glad that you came" and he smiled at me.
I felt myself blush and now I felt like a complete idiot I wanted to start banging my head against a wall and tell the entire world how stupid I was. "Uh... you are?"
He looked at me strangely "Are you ok?"
I hesitated I thought I might as well and try to tell him how I felt. "I want to tell you something in private."
He seemed surprised "Oh...Okay, sure."
We walked to the side of the clinic and I just let go. "Anders I have something that I want to say, over the time I've known you I have grown feelings that I thought I could never have for another person and I wanted to tell you that the person is you." I quickly shut my eyes waiting for the worst but I got a very different reaction than what I was waiting for.
"Hawke, I never thought you felt that way because I feel the same way."
I looked up at him and saw that he spoke truthfully. I rushed to him and our lips met and our tongues tangled. His rough stubble scratched my face but I didn't care: it was the best minute of my life.
We finally pulled away from each other he sighed "I'll just break your heart."
I looked at him "You won't."
He looked into my eyes "If your door is open tonight I will come to you and if not I know you head my warning" and he walked silently back inside his clinic.
