Damnit, I started another one. How many is that now.. Three LW fics I'm trying to write at once. eugh, fun.
But, I had to start writing this before I forgot my story line, lol. It's happened before. It isn't pretty ;). But, anyway, I think I might know where I'm taking this one. Which means, it should be like WAFD, and take me two weeks to write all of it. But with my luck, I'll hit writers block by the second chapter..

=^..^=

The cloaked figure crouched motionless in the shadow of the tree house. Her slender form was just another patch of darkness upon the jungle floor. She hadn't moved in hours, her eyes locked on the fortress above.
She had waited patiently as all of the lanterns were extinguished for the night, and the residents of the treehouse went to bed. Still, she had not moved. Patience had been taught to her by her master. So, she remained throughout the night.

~*~*~

Droplets of morning dew collected in the folds of her midnight blue cloak as the eastern horizon began to lighten. The promise of dawn. She rose to her feet, and stepped back a few paces. She slipped a grappling hook from within the folds of her cloak, swiftly twirling it above her head. And with a flick of her wrist, she sent the hook flying towards the treehouse above her. With a soft clicking noise, it found its hold upon the balcony railing. She paused for a moment, making sure the slight sound had gone un-noticed, before tugging to check the security of her hook. Positive that it was safe, she pulled herself up the rope.

In no time at all she was lowering herself to the balcony floor and retrieving her grappling hook. She paused in the shadows, listening for a sign that any of the residents were already awake. But the treehouse was silent.

Satisfied, she made her way into her prey's home. Down the stairs, and into the sleeping quarters. After watching the treehouse for three months, she knew which room the heiress slept in.

She pushed back the thin curtain slowly, and peered into the room. The rise and fall of Marguerite's chest was the only movement. She eased into the room, pulling the curtain closed behind her, and made her way to the bed.

With her back to the doorway, she reached inside her cloak and withdrew her weapon. In the dimness of the room, the silver blade almost glowed. Her hand trembled as she held it. But there would be no turning back. She had come too far. Given up too much. If there was to be any chance of her salvation, she had to do this.

Raising the long silver dagger high in both fists, she prayed for forgiveness before lowering the dagger into Marguerite's Heart.

I can just hear the gasps now.. There had better be gasps! lol, sorry. It's really late..

Alright. I'm suffering some serious computer problems at the moment. It crashed Sunday night, and I only finally got it working again Wednesday afternoon. However, my files got messed up and now my Internet isn't working. Argh! Trying my best to fix it, because I'm suffering from serious withdrawal.. Hopefully, I'll have it working again by the weekend. I'm uploading this from my friend's 'puter.

So, to make a long story short, I'm not sure when I'll be able to upload the next chapter. Or any thing else, for that matter. But meanwhile, you can still review. It's my computer that's broken, not yours, lol.

So, what happens next? Does this mysterious stranger actually kill dear Marguerite? And besides that, who is she? And why is she trying to kill Marguerite anyway? You'll have to review to find out. Well.. You'll also have to read the next chapter.. but review this one first! lol.
And, btw.. Trapped!! EEEEEIIIIIIII!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Best episode *ever*! In my own humble opinion, of course. Anyone know how many episodes are left until season finale? And don't you dare say it's next week! Oh, also, I wanted to ask if anyone knew where I might be able to find transcripts to d/l. Any episode, form any season. Trying to get them all, but can't seem to find them anywhere.

Oh god.. my A/N are longer than my chapter.. sorry. Once I start, you can't shut me up. But, please review. After the stress of no computer, I need something to lift my spirits. See you all next chapter!
