'Gaerelen! That idiot!' Laurefinwen thought bitterly. 'How could I have possibly believed that he like me, for me? He was just attracted to my outward appearance! When he whispered to me during archery, I was really flattered, and I might have considered turning our childlike flirtatious behavior into something real...the whisper, I remember it so clearly still....
* "Laure, I want to see you, privately. I have feelings for you other than friendship. Please consider me...I love you." this he whispered softly into my ear. I blushed at these words and...*
'Those were his exact words. That hurts...it just hurts.' with this thought coursing through her mind, she dropped off into an uneasy sleep.
Laurefinwen was awakened in the middle of the night by a sharp tapping noise against her window. She waited for it to stop, and when it didn't, she was forced to go see what it was. As it turned out, It was Gaerelen throwing a stone so it would tap on the glass. Laurefinwen saw who it was and in disgust, closed the curtains. She attempted to go back to sleep, but he would not stop with the continuous tapping. In exasperation, Laurefinwen roused herself up and stumbled over to the window, threw it open and called out to him,
"Must you do that!? I am trying to sleep!"
"Yes, I must. You are mad at me, I wish to make peace." he answered back.
Her heart softened at these words, but she knew that if he did this once, she believed he would do it again. With a frown, she called out "Get used to disappointment." and shut the window. She watched him from the darkness of her room, his face fell, he hung his head, and walked away.
In truth, she felt sort-of bad for him, but she thought that he really should learn to control his urges, and gain some self discipline. Besides, that arrow hurt! She glanced down at her bandaged arm...still tender. Laurefinwen made her way towards her bed and fell into an unconscious sleep.

Gaerelen lay awake, wondering. 'What did I do?' he thought. 'Well, I know what I did...but it wasn't that bad to deserve this disgrace...was it? No, I just don't deserve someone like Laurefinwen...she is beautiful. She'll never have me now. I might as well forget about her. There is probably someone out there for me...wish it was her.'

Feathalion's mind was not idle during the night either. His thoughts were slightly happier though. 'Perhaps I will ask Laurefinwen if she would like to work on sword fighting tomorrow...maybe she will want Gaerelen along, but after what happened today, I don't know. It must have been bad, she looked hurt. I wish to se her again, its odd, I've-No...there is nothing!' he told himself sternly. 'Ever since that fateful day....
* I had asked her to meet me. She appeared on the edge of the field of wildflowers, looking as beautiful and radiant as ever. Her dark hair in braids, she cautiously made her way towards me. I picked a flower for her, and when she approached, I tucked it behind her ear. She looked oddly at me, but none-the-less, smiled.
"Arien...." I softly called out to her. She looked up, and I took her hands. "I have something I need to say. I have held it in for far too long...."
"What is it?" she asked, looking worried.
"I cannot hide it anymore...my true feelings.... You mean more to me than anything in the world. I love you." these last words I whispered tenderly into her ear, putting all of my heart into those last tree words.
She backed away, looking startled. She set this look on her face that said more than words ever could, a look of frowns and worry and sorrow combined. Deepening the look, she muttered to me, "I...should go." With that, she got up and started walking away from me. Before disappearing, she took one last look at me with that same, sorrowful, worried, frowning look, and walked away. The painful truth lay in those eyes...she did not love me. In that moment, my heart split in two.
Arien started avoiding me whenever possible and hanging out with different people, and soon, passed out of my knowledge.
That day I vowed never to love again.*
