Now sitting on the bed in the spare room I sighed, legs folded underneath me as I tried to work out why Moordryd had left.

"He's not worth it." Kitt told me and getting no answer she rolled her eyes. "Well I tried."

"What Kitt means is that Moordryd's...not an easy guy to understand. He likes you but he's just too scared to admit it." Artha answered and I looked up, a slight frown on my face.

"I give up. If he doesn't want me then I'm fine with that." I told them, trying to act tough even though I felt like he was just stringing me along and when I felt tears threatening I hurriedly turned away. My friends tried to help me, joking around and I managed a slight chuckle but my heart wasn't in it and I faked a yawn. Knowing I really wasn't tired and just wanted to be left alone for a while, Artha convinced Kitt to let me rest. Though as he turned back for a moment he saw me wiping at my eyes and he cringed before he closed the door.

Once I was alone I lay on my stomach and grabbing a pillow I buried my face in it, letting out a sob. I must have fallen asleep at some point because I felt someone gently shaking my shoulder and as I opened one eye I saw Artha standing there, a bowl in his hand and I slowly sat up.

"Hey I thought you could use something to eat after all your training." He explained as he handed the bowl to me and I took it, raising an eyebrow as I did. "You know, to be the Light Booster."

"Huh but I'm still learning." I replied as I dug in. As I ate Artha seemed to study me and after a while he asked me something.

"Do you...love him?" He asked and that surpised me so much I almost choked on my food. Quickly he thumped me on my back and I coughed for a few seconds. "Sorry, sorry!" He shouted and I wiped my mouth, giving him a glare.

"I...really don't know. I thought I did and that he felt the same but now..." I trailed off and started eating again, an attempt to focus my mind on something else beside Moordryd. Unfortuantely Artha was just as stubborn, if not more than me, and he didn't let up. Finally I couldn't take it and I answered him as truthfully as I could. It was evither that or hit him with the bowl. "Look I think I've had this conversation more times then I care to remember. Let's just say I care about him and he won't admit it and leave it at that." I sighed wiping my mouth and he shrugged before he took the bowl from me and I lay back, grabbing pillow and punching it into shape. After I was alone again I rested my head on the pillow and looked up at the ceiling.

"Maybe I do. But if that's true how does that help me? Just gives me more of a reason to ache inside." I muttered as my eyes drifted closed and soon I was fast asleep, dreaming of my home.

"Mom...dad where are you?" I whispered and that's when I heard a roar. Instantly I froze as I heard something moving behind me and I jumped as I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Who are you?" I growled, finding my voice just as something lunged out of the shadows and I cried out falling to the floor as Armeggaddon laughed.

"Is the poor scared little girl afraid of her own shadow?" He asked as someone walked towards me and I swallowed as a woman in very familar white armor strolled over to Armeggaddon's side. "Or maybe herself?" He added just as the woman laughed and when I saw her face I stared, eyes going wide, as a pair of startling green eyes fixed their gaze on me.

"You're...me?" I whispered and she laughed, a cruel laugh that sounded nothing like mine.

"Oh she's you. When she joins my side and rules over the humans and dragons." Armeggaddon explained as I climbed to my feet, unable to accept that I would turn into...that. "All that power needed guidance and I was happy to lend a hand...once she proved herself to me and destroyed the Dragon Booster and the Shadow Booster."

"I'd never hurt them!" I shouted and that's when the Light Booster lunged forward and grabbed me around my throat, instantly cutting off my air supply. Unable to gasp or even breathe I struggled and she just laughed as my legs kicked out. I tried t kick her but she held me just out of reach and pretty soon I started to pass out, no air getting into my lungs but just as the darkness reached out to claim me I heard a sudden roar and Quiksilva appareared. As the Light Booster dropped me and took a step back my dragon roared and turned his sights on me, trying to tell me something. I wasn't sure what but as I struggled to my feet my gauntlet glowed pure white and I suddenly shouted "Unlock the light!"

And that's when I woke up to find someone standing over me, a slight grin on their face and I growled as I sat up moving away and turning my head.

"I snuck in here to see you and that's the reaction I get?" Moordryd asked and I snorted as I turned back, giving him a glare. "Hmph maybe I shouldn't have bothered."

"Excuse me but you walked out on me. Or did that escape the grey matter between your ears you call a brain?" I asked being as humorless as possible but it didn't work when he sat beside me.

"Insults won't get you anywhere." Moordryd told me before he suddenly lunged and in seconds I found myself pinned to the bed, his hands holding mine above my head so I couldn't escape. "Maybe you should be a little nicer to me."

"Get off me!" I growled at him, struggling to move until he leant over me and when his lips met mine, the kiss heat and passion all in one, and I stopped moving altogether. I don't know why but I kissed him back just as passionately until we gasped, finally taking a breath.

"You say you don't care about me but when I kiss you, you always kiss me back." Moordryd said as I stared up at him, not sure how to answer that. "Why?"

"Because...I...I like you. More than friend but when you keep pushing me away..." I muttered as I stared into his pale grey eyes and unable to think of a reason I pulled him down, kissing him and as we kissed I felt his arm wrap around my waist. This time I didn't even try to move not even when he ran his hand over my stomach and chest. It felt right for some reason that I didn't understand and as he kissed my neck, his teeth gently grazing my throat from time to time, I let him.

"I like you too. Maybe...we could be together...even after everything." Moordryd mumbled before he kissed me and I gasped then as his hand slipped under my shirt.

"Moordryd..." I whispered, my face flushing but I didn't move to stop him and he gently kissed me before he reached up and unclipped my bra. Setting it down on the desk beside me he reached up and when he cupped my left breast I let out a groan, unable to believe that we were going this far. Though as he nuzzled my neck and massaged my breast with his fingers I didn't mind at all.
