Is He Hiding something?

Disclaimer: - I only own Thunder, and David. I own no one else, so please don't sue.

(a/n scuse me if this chapters a tiny bit boring but I'm still having to come up with a plot. A suggestion never start a story on a whim, better to have it all planned out so you know what's going to happen. Cause at the present moment, I have no bloody idea. ^_^ Oh yeah by the way unicorns have limited healing magick. Oh and italics don't work. Anyone knows how to get them to work?)

** This mean Daine talking to animal.

When Daine woke up in the morning David had already got up. Daine was thinking about having a lie in today, but then she remembered. They were going to start the journey to Tortall today.

So she should probably get up and get packed. Say goodbye to the animals. She was going to miss them. Thunder. She was going to miss Thunder the most. Thunder was beautiful unicorn Daine had met in the woods. He'd been hunted, and running he'd hurt his leg. Ripped a tendon. (a/n For all you none horse people out there, when a horse or unicorn rips a tendon that's bad. Takes forever to heal.) When Daine had touched the leg she'd fainted.

When she woke up, she found Thunder prancing round like there was tomorrow. She told him not to because of his leg. He retorted back that it was fine she'd healed it. Daine was a bit confused at this, she couldn't heal, what was he on about? But none the less she went with the whole I healed you thing.

She and Thunder became quite good friends. Thunder had even told her why he wasn't in a heard anymore. His family had been killed by hunters, a bit like Daine's had. Either way both their family's had been killed by human monsters.

Daine got up and got dressed. She couldn't find David anywhere. She sighed she'd just have to go out without telling him. And anyway she'd be taking her long bow, so she was protected.

She went out into the woods and called, *Thunder! Thunder!* The answer she got was a loud galloping. Next thing she knew Thunder was standing in front of her looking smug. Nothing new there than.

You called His mind voice rang.

*Yeah. Thunder I just wanted to say that I'm going to miss you. You've been a great friend and companion, so all I wanted to say really is thankyou and goodbye.*

Goodbye? Where are you going? Did you break up with David? His mind voice sounded worried.

*No! No nothing like that, we haven't fallen out. We're moving, to Tortall. So I came to say goodbye, because I probably won't see you again.*

Going to Tortall? Without me? Are you kidding? Thunder's mind voice sounded amused.

* But you can't come! There are hunters, I don't want you to gat hurt because of me!* Daine said.

Daine, I'm a grown unicorn. I can look after myself. Thunder's mind voice was uncharacteristically (whoa long word) stern.

* Can you? I'm not so sure.* Daine said sounding lost.

Don't worry. Now go get packed. When are you leaving?

*Today* Was her reply.

Well get going then. Was his reply, Call me when your going to leave. And with that he trotted off into the woods. After saying goodbye to the other animals Daine walked back to her and David's house. To find David home looking worried.

"What happened? Where'd you go?"

"Stop worrying David, I was fine I just went to say good bye to the animals." Even though she had provided a explanation she still got herself hugged and kissed. Not that she minded.

"Are you sure your okay?"

"Yes, David I'm fine. Look I even took my long bow." She showed him the bow which was ready to be drawn.

He looked slightly happier about that. He turned and walked into the cottage Daine following.

"Where'd you go this morning?" She asked as she followed him into the kitchen.

"Umm nowhere in particular." He said. If it was nowhere in particular then why was he all of a sudden looking so shifty? Daine couldn't help thinking.

"Where bout's?" She asked.

"I can't remember." David said and that was that. But That one sentence sent a lot of thoughts reeling in Daine's mind.

What if he's having an affair?

(a/n So what do you think? Is David an affair? Well I know and you can find out, in about 1 chapters time. *Evil laugh*)
