Roald ran quickly to catch Lianne, but he was to slow, she fell to the ground in a soft heap, black dress contrasting against white skin. Roald grabbed Lianne under the arms and knees, and carried her off to the healers chambers.
**************************************************************************** **********
When Lianne awoke she saw the worried face of her mother looking over her. Her mother gasped, she saw that Lianne's eyes were opening.
"Hello mother." Lianne said weakly, she felt worn out, as if she had been scraped across a rock a couple of times.
"Don't hello me!" Her mother snapped. "Dear god child! The least you could do is hide it!"
Lianne looked around confused, hide what? Then it dawned on her, Roger. She turned away from her mother, but her mother grabbed her, turning Lianne to face her.
"We, are, POOR! We need this marriage, we need it, don't mess this up!!" Her mother snapped. Lianne looked up angrily.
"Is that all I am to you? A marriage item, or a daughter?" Lianne retorted. her mother slapped her backhand, across the face. Angry tears forced their way through Lianne's eyes.
"You have leukemia Lianne, it's bone cancer. The healer caught it before it got any worse, but it was bad. You will be weak, you need someone powerful and rich to -"
"To help you! I love Roger! Please don't make me do this!"
"I'm more then making you do this, I am ordering you, as your mother, you will marry Roald, and you will forget Roger." Mother stood abruptly and walked away.
Lianne turned and began to cry silently into the listening pillow.
**************************************************************************** **********
Roger was waiting in his room for Lianne, she was supposed to come ages ago. Just when he thought that she had left, Lianne burst through the door. She ran into his arms.
"I, I can't! Roger! Roger they're making me marry Roald!" Lianne cried silently into Roald's shirt, "I don't want to! I don't!"
Roger peeled Lianne off of him. " There's nothing we can do. Nothing. Lianne, you must."
"What have you turned on me to?" She yelled tearing away from him. "Let's run away from here Roger! Please! Do me this!" Roger looked at Lianne, considering what would happen. He decided quickly by grabbing a bag of money off his bureau, and gabbed Lianne by the wrist, as they were heading towards the door a cough made them look away from their passionate embrace. Roald was leaning on the door frame of his room, watching this all angrily.
"Let go of her Roger." Roald growled, he stepped towards them.
"Back down Roald, we're leaving together, and if you even try to take her, I will be forced to kill you."
A clatter sounded and guards piled out around the three, cutting off any escape. Two came forward and grabbed Roger by the arms, dragging him away.
Lianne made for the doors but an arrow sprouted from her back. She fell to the floor, blood dripping from her. Roald yelled in rage. He drew up Lianne, she was not badly hurt. Roald sent his healing gift slowly out, healing the wound. Lianne fainted in his arms.
**************************************************************************** **********
"What happened to Roger?" Lianne asked when she awoke again. She was in Roald's room sitting on a bench.
"He escaped and left, he never came back for you Lianne, he didn't love you, it was only lust." Roald knew this was a lie, Roger had been sent to Carthak until the King called him back.
Lianne cried softly. "I don't want this out."
"It won't. Now, what dress would you want for the wedding?"
