Hey! Sorry for SUCH the long wait. I haven't updated anything in EONS! Here's the next chapter, and I hope nothing has been too revealing!

She slowly submerged herself in the warmth that surrounded her, the warmth that she didn't deserve. Not only that, but she didn't deserve the kingdom by the peaceful sea. She had never been grateful for the forgiving arms. She had never stopped to appreciate the beautiful hair and the beautiful face. But what was it worth now? She shivered, even in the midst of reality, letting the emotion pour out, letting the memories sweep through her, letting the story unfold...

The agony.

It was the only way to express how she felt about him being stretched across the room instead of being at her side. Agonizing. She watched as he shook hands with the authorititative figures, wondering what it would take to earn his attention again. She kissed the blonde head at her side and smoothed her hands over the silk of her dress and waited. Like always.

She shivered in the openess of the room, as the harsh breeze caught the shoulders of her sparkling red dress, but an anonymous presence made this tremor somehow different. She looked back across the stretch of the room, letting agony refill her, but at the same moment another feeling gradually grew inside of her settling where it pleased. And it grew.

As the sole definition of sophistication pulsated around her, the slight tickle of a cough caught the back of her throat. Politely, she coughed delicately into her palm. But this was only the beginning.

The agony.

She shivered again, reeling the story and emotion back in, just for the moment. She suddenly darkened, thinking to herself that in the end it was all her fault. She hadn't realized it, but she went cold again.

I know.

This makes NO. SENSE.

And you guys were giving me reviews, asking me who this 'she' person is.

I CAN'T TELL YOU!

But you'll find out soon enough.

Review.
