Disclaimer: I don't own the song, it belongs to Celine Dion and whoever wrote it! It's on her CD "Celine: A Decade of Song," and it belongs to those people. Okay.
Author's Note: I would really like to thank FencerN'Writer for all the help. I know that I already said that, but too bad. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Please read all of FencerN'Writer's stories!
The Wildmage sighed. She was sitting on the sand, staring out at the ocean. She had ran all the way to the coast, trying to get away from her problems. The sun was setting, and the dolphins were calling her, inviting her to play with them. Sighing, she just wished that the fight she had had with Numair could be forgotten. She just wanted to be his again.
Take me
Back into the arms I love
Need me
Like you did before
But-what if he hadn't been under a spell? The thought occurred to Daine as she shifted in the sand. What if he had fallen for one of those court ladies-that Mary Anne, or Masatina, or whatever-and decided to get rid of her and marry one of them? She knew that eventually she would go back, and she didn't think that she could bear it, seeing them wed, then have children together.
He had promised to love her forever. Just her. Ha!
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more
But-if she that Tusaine wench ever left-she would win him back.
Don't go
You know you'll break my heart
She won't
Love you like I will
Love the one who stays
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still
Furiously blinking back the sudden rush of tears, she again directed her gaze out to the ocean. Then again, maybe he was under a spell-but maybe not. She would wait and see.
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one
Who wants to love you more
She could be anything that other lady could be! "I could do it," she whispered through clenched teeth. Then she sighed. There was no way that Daine could be some stuffy court lady. Not forever.
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be
The one to love you more
Numair peered out from behind the boulder. His heart leapt. There she was! He tried to run to her, but his legs wouldn't budge. A million what-ifs raced through his mind. What if she hated him? What if she didn't think he had really been under a spell?
What if she wouldn't marry him?
See me
As if we never knew
Hold me
So you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know
Daine suddenly had a peculiar feeling creep over her. Was she being watched? A smile twitched at the corner of her mouth. Here she was, dreaming that her love was going to come and rescue her! No, he was gone.
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
Slowly, trying not to make any noise, he crept out, to make sure the beautiful figure was really Daine, and not a figment of his imagination.
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more
She had imagined their wedding being so grand that it would be incomparable for ages. Now she had to remind herself that she wasn't getting married. Those dratted tears kept coming back...
Someway
All the love that we had
Can be saved
Whatever it takes
We'll find a way
We can still make up, she reminded herself. Then that deep, ugly voice inside her said that such things weren't possible.
Believe me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know
I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
Numair walked over to her, his heart pounding so loudly that he was sure she could hear. But no, she kept her back to him as he came closer.
That you see I can give you
Everything you need
"I love you, Numair," she whispered to the dying sun.
Let me be
The one to love you more
"I love you too," he whispered back, causing her to leap up and twirl around.......
It's a cliffhanger!! If you want me to finish it, please review!!!
