A/N: Ok so this is my first FanFic EVER! So please don't be too harsh on me! I loved the Eon and Eona stories by Allison Goodman, they were captivating and creative and wondefully written. I was however, very upset with the ending of Eona. I was devistated when Ido died and I was left wanting more Eona/Ido...So here is a little bit of story that I like to think happened in and amoungst Ms. Goodman's original story. It might eventually lead to a knew ending for the book but we will see. I have the first two chapters written and working on the third with a bit of writers block. Reviews, corrections, suggestions are all much appreciated so please write 'em up! I will continue if I get enough interest.

Also, I do not own any of these characters or the books. Eveverything original to Eona belongs to Allison Goodman. I am simply adding to her work. There may be spoilers if you have not read Eona, fair warning. Rated T just in case.

Alright let's get started! Hope you enjoy!

The Unexpected

Chapter 1

It had been several hours since the redirection of the cyclone. I had been sitting with Kygo and Master Tozay through various councils and meetings about our plan of attack upon arrival. It was now late and I sat alone in my cabin, on the cot unable to sleep. I had been plagued with memories of Ido, and the lie I had told Kygo. It had not been easy lying to him, regret had filled my heart and I longed for the truth to be known. However, a part of me remembered the touch of Ido against my body and it was not something I wanted Kygo to know about. Not because I feared his wrath or the loss of him, I wanted to keep it secret because it was my private moment, with a man that I...wait what is happening? What am i thinking? Something was then stirring within me and I found myself too restless to sit. I extended my legs to rise but a muted shuffle by my door halted the movement. Tensing, I braced myself for some imagined enemy. Fear that someone had witnessed Ido and I and had gone to Kygo now gripped me. As the door slowly broke open I was surprised and strangely relieved to see the form of Lord Ido hunched in the doorway. My surprise quickly turned to confusion and panic as I looked into his face. The usually tall, egotistical man seemed somehow smaller and troubled by something. Our eyes met and I could see a dark cloud stirring within him.

"Ido! What are you doing here?" I asked him, more to break his dark silence then in search of a response. My mind raced, this was the first I had seen him since the cyclone and the rush of memories brought a flush to my face and caused me to stagger.

"I don't know why I came, it seems foolish really. I just..."

He trailed off, almost in another place and my heart began to race as I remembered what had seemed to be his confession of love for me before we stopped the storm from tearing the boat apart. It appeared that Ido had been Huanted by the same memories. The only difference was that when I remembered my compulsion over him and the dark desire I had for the man a strong flush darkened my cheeks and a range of mixed emotions troubled me as my confusion over how I felt built within me. For him it seemed however, that the memories were welling inside and causing a change within him that I did not understand.

"After what we did together to stop the cyclone and what I told you. Eona..." I stepped back, knowing what he was about to say and it broke his speech.

"Ido, I know what you are talking about but I can't. I...I am confused and I need time to think things over."

"What are you confused about Eona?" For a moment his usual sly smile broadened across his face and a devilish look leaped into his eyes. Then it quickly faded again.

"I...I am confused about...why...um..."

Before I knew it he was swaying towards me, a confession on his lips. I backed away, unsure of what to do until I bumped down onto my cot. Ido sat next to me, slightly away at first, then scooted himself closer. He reached for my left hand and clasped it tightly. With a sorrowfully look he met my eyes and released a long sigh. I looked deep into his amber eyes and saw pain, sadness, and... no, I refused for it to be true.

"Do you know what was the only thing keeping me alive while Sethon held me prisoner?"

Weakly I replied, "No." I then looked away blushing. Inside me a burning truth came to light. It frightened me all at once but then strangely turned to happiness. Ido squeezed my hand tighter before revealing the truth.

"It was you Eona. The thought of you and my need to help protect you gave me hope in the pit of despair of his torture. While enduring his pain and the unbearable agony I clung to one unbreakable goal and it was to stay alive and see you again. I had to see you; I could not die knowing that he could also capture you. And I could not die without you seeing the new me. As if my hopes were made real you came to me in the cell. I was so close to death and about to lose hope. But then you were there...and now we are here... "

Ido slid closer, our thighs now touching, his face merely inches from mine. "I am tormented by the memory of you against my body" he said, "and it fills me with joy and sadness all at once. Eona, all the pain I experienced in that cell has been washed away. It is but a distant memory when I am this close to you. You have healed me my dear, in more ways than you know. And..."

I shifted then, stricken by his words and he paused. I knew what he would say next and I was not ready to hear it. His use of the endearment was already too much but if he said the words, such small words filled with so much meaning I feared I would pass out. Dizziness consumed me and my mind raced. Pushing through all of my fear and doubt however was another emotion, and it was growing stronger. As I made another move to rise Ido caught me by the waist and hauled me on top of his lap. The action was fluid and gentle and it caused a rise in me. His eyes searched mine for a response. For a moment I searched his. There was no trace of the silver Hua he used when he was charming. No, the gaze of his beautiful amber eyes was filled with such tenderness that I felt myself giving in to his truth. I shifted my gaze then, hoping he would not see the desire in my eyes and my heart. It was not a dark desire like what I had experienced before, this was different, it frightened me. Unlike the dark control of my compulsion over him, fueled by an equally dark desire, I felt a calling to him. It was beautiful and compelling. Before I could react further Ido rested his hand softly on the back of my neck and leaned down in a full, gentle kiss. A surge leaped through me, electrifying my Hua and filling me with the taste of orange and sweet vanilla. His taste was so welcoming, like that of his dragon. Deep within I felt a stir as if being compelled. But this was no compulsion born of power; it sprang from my inner being to form a deep feeling of passion and tenderness. The passion felt so real, so meaningful and yet I heard an echo of ancient love within it. "My dear Somo", had been Kinra's words to the former Dragoneye. Her memory and love was a part of me and I began to wonder if what I was feeling now for Ido was a residue of my ancestress' passion for the Rat Dragoneye that she had loved. But then again, the emotions felt completely my own, unlike the anger I felt from Kinra when I touched her swords. I could tell that was her ancient influence but this felt different. As if it was a completion of the ancient romance.

Ido slowly pulled away from the kiss to search my eyes. I understood his searching expression to be a silent request for permission to continue else he would stop. I smiled, unable to think or do anything else and the love in his returning smile melted me. He then bent and kissed me again, tracing his fingers through the thick tangles of my hair. This kiss was so unlike our others. Before he had been seeking my power and was willing to force it from me no matter the cost. Even when we were stopping the cyclone and I gave willingly, our kiss had been edged with certain darkness. But now...now it was so tender, so warm and loving that I could feel a stirring in my heart, in my Hua. The feeling was so familiar for I had felt it before, at least I thought I had, but before it had belonged to another man. It was what I felt every time I was with Kygo, only now I was with Ido. Kygo! I thought. Suddenly I felt regret and shame. I was betraying him, willingly. I was not here with Ido to save our lives. This time I had no excuse for the betrayal for it had been a slight excuse to release my dark desire for him during the cyclone. No, I was sitting here with Ido, feeling a well of emotions and it was because I wanted to...

As if he heard my thoughts Ido pulled out of our kiss again. The pain of separation I felt matched the pain in his eyes. To see it reflected in him tore through me and before I knew what I was doing I leaned closer to him. We both knew what I was doing but I didn't care. It was an invitation to him. It was a show of my willingness and my deep longing, and it was all he needed. With a smile so genuinely filled with joy he pulled me closer and kissed me deeply. His tongue meeting mine in a connection so exhilarating, our heartbeats matched in rhythm and our Hua pumped. I couldn't help but smile and as I laid a hand across his chest I felt Ido's heart leaping. With utter tenderness and passion he swept me up into his muscular arms and laid me softly on the cot. Moments later the warm strength of his body pressed against mine and I pulled him down hard against me. He released a low moan of pleasure as I ran my hand through his hair and down his back. With a rhythmic movement he left my lips to kiss my cheek, slowly, exquisitely moving to my neck which he captured with his hand from behind and swept into a low arch. "Eona" he breathed across my skin and it was so filled with passion that my breath caught and my skin tingled.

Everything I was feeling in the moment was so different from the moment Ido and I shared during the cyclone. The way he caressed me held the tenderness of a true lover, not the power seeking man he was before. Was he really a changed man? Even I felt different yet I couldn't help thinking about Kinra and Somo again. Ido's seeking hand brought me back to the moment as it met the curves of my body. I too found myself stroking him all over as the heat between us built. A sweet tension was forming but I was unable to pull myself away. It was not the rise of power as before, it was something deeper and more sensual. As if stricken with the same realization Ido ceased to move. He looked up at me and we stared at each other for a long tender moment our hearts racing. He shuddered and his breath came in ragged intervals. A slight layer of sweat was coating his bare skin and all of his muscles convulsed mildly. As he looked at me the love in his eyes was almost too much for me to bear. Then he closed the amber portals to his soul, clenched his fists and with a sigh of longing and regret he pulled himself upright.

The sudden disconnect left me feeling hollow and weak, a sensation matched in the sad slump of Ido's body and expression. He looked back to me and smiled. Leaning forward he brushed his lips against my forehead and said the words he had been holding back all along, "Eona, I love you".
