Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful reviews! :)

Here is chapter 21!

ENJOY.

Clarion and Milori still had some time at the border before they would have to leave and they cherished every moment they had together.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look today, love?" asked Milori. Clarion smiled and shook her head no.

"You look breathtaking." whispered Milori. Clarion smiled and leaned closer to Milori and kissed him passionately.

Clarion pulled back from Milori and looked up to the night sky; she and Milori were gazing at the bright stars that filled the sky when suddenly enormous black clouds began to roll in above them and they could no longer see the stars.

Milori and Clarion both looked at each other. Milori squeezed her hand and then Clarion noticed something.

Thick fog began to roll towards them quickly from every direction...

Clarion felt her stomach drop. Her heart began to beat rapidly; she gasped.

"Oh no." said Clarion. The only thought on her mind was the terrifying memory of the fog causing her breathing to be a problem and causing her to faint. She began to grow nervous, luckily Milori was at her side this time.

"What's going on?" asked Milori. Clarion could see the fear in his eyes.

"I don't know. This isn't good." said Clarion. Milori put his arm around Clarion's waist and pulled her closer. Even though this wasn't the time to be smiling Clarion couldn't help it. Milori was being protective of her and it comforted her but that didn't last for long...

The fog crept up to their feet and began to circle around them. Clarion could barely see; she could barely see Milori but she felt his arm around her waist. They didn't dare fly for fear of losing each other in the overwhelming fog. Milori kept a firm grip on her waist and Clarion grabbed his hand.

There was a ear shattering crack of thunder and Clarion screamed; Milori pulled her in a tight embrace. Suddenly the wind began blowing around violently; Clarion's hair whipped around her face and she reached for Milori's hand again.

"What the hell is going on?" said Milori. He held Clarion close and put his hand on the back of her head, he tried to comfort her but he was beyond terrified himself.

"I don't know, I have a terrible feeling that something bad is about to happen." replied Clarion. As she said this his grip on her tightened. Milori was hoping she was wrong but he had the same feeling.

There was no way he was going to let anything happen to her. He loved her more than anything, he would gladly give up his own life for her; he would die for her if it meant that she was safe.

Clarion felt the exact same way as Milori did, if there was anything she could do to protect him she would do it. She wouldn't have to think twice about it. The fog began to tighten in around them and Clarion felt her heart beat faster.

'Oh no. It's going to happen again...' thought Clarion. Suddenly Clarion was struggling to catch her breath. She began coughing and gasping for air; she backed away from Milori; her lungs struggled to pump what oxygen she had left. Her chest felt tight and she reached her hand to her throat; tears began to well in her eyes. Clarion fell to her knees still trying to breath.

"Clarion?! What's wrong?" screamed Milori. He had no idea what was going on or why she had fell.

"Milori-" she gasped again, "I-can't-breathe." Milori knelt down in front of her and she gripped his arm tightly. He had no idea what to do; what could he do? His eyes were filled with concern and fear. He felt his stomach drop, the thought of her not being able to breathe terrified him to his core. He felt tears running down his face. He couldn't lose her..

"Clarion.. I-" She began gasping again trying to breathe, finally air filled her lungs. Clarion let out a sigh and took a few deep breaths.

"Are you all right?" asked Milori. Clarion couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face. There was another loud crack of thunder and Clarion gasped. Milori pulled her close; he held her as close as possible.

"I think I'm all right now. I- I couldn't breathe... the fog..." Clarion was still out of breath. She took a few more deep breaths as Milori ran his hand through her hair. She began crying into his shoulder.

"Shh.. it's all right. I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you, love." said Milori. He tried to sound as reassuring as he could manage but he knew she wouldn't believe it; he didn't even believe his own words. How could he promise not to let anything happen to her? Something had just happened to her and he was completely powerless to help her.

There was another loud crack of thunder that rang through the night sky. Clarion gasped again and Milori held her tightly. All of a sudden it started to downpour violently. Clarion and Milori were completely drenched; their wings were soaked and they wouldn't be able to fly. Neither of them cared about flying at the moment because they weren't going to leave each other's side.

The thunder rolled through the clouds again and they both looked up into the dark sky. Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck and was aimed for the lovely couple. They both let out a scream and jumped out of the way. Clarion jumped back, she tripped and landed further into the warm season. Milori did the same and was further into the winter woods. Luckily the lightening bolt hadn't shattered the enormous log that was the border.

"Clarion?" Milori called out to her; praying she was all right. Clarion could barely hear him, the rain fell down hard onto them and the wind whistled around violently. Another crack of thunder rang out.

"I'm fine Milori." yelled Clarion. She stood up and made her way back to the middle of the border and she could see Milori running back to her. He was only a few feet away from her and she glanced up to see another bolt of lightning; this time it was coming directly at Milori.

Clarion gasped and jumped into winter, she reached her hands out and they met with Milori's chest; she pushed as hard as she could. He let out a grunt and tumbled backwards. Clarion sighed and looked back up to see another bolt coming at her. She gasped and moved out of the way but she tripped. Clarion fell off of the log and landed in the river underneath it.

"Clarion! NO!" yelled Milori. When Clarion pushed him out of the way to save his life he tried desperately to get to his feet to get to her but another bolt of lightning was coming at her and she fell into the water. Milori's chest tightened and his stomach dropped, he felt agonizing pain in his heart.

He ran to where he had last seen her before she fell. He looked down and could see ripples in the water underneath him. Tears began pouring from his eyes.

Cliff-hanger! That was probably my meanest cliff-hanger! Sorry! hehe
