Hiya people! I made a stupid mistake that I forgot about! Remember how I asked if anybody remembers anything about Numairs Parents? Well, I got a review and it suddenly came to me. Numair lived on the streets of Carthak and never met his parents! Well, my bad and I don't know what I'm gonna do! To the story!!!
Daine awoke in the morning. She remembered yesterday's incident. She remembered the party, and the 'stork man' incident. Daine grinned to herself. Next to her snored Numair. She loved him with all her heart. All the way from the tip of his toes, to the stubborn mass of black hair. She put a hand one his bare shoulder. His sin was soft. ( A/N: I have to say this! *Sighs* the wonders of love!) Daine moved close to him, putting her arm around his shoulders. Her head went in the nap of his neck. Numair stirred, and woke up. He grinned ask Daine kissed his shoulders. He kissed her when she put hi shead back to look at her. ' We love each other. More then anything. It was silly that she thought he would see her as a child.'
Finally Daine said, " We should get ready to go and meet my parents. We must make wedding arrangements." She pulled away from Numair, after one last kiss. While they changed to better clothes, Daine thought about the wedding. What was she going to wear? How was the wedding going to be set up?
They met Sarra and Weiyrn in the palace gardens. After exchanging hugs, they sat down and talked about the wedding. They decided that it was going to be in the gardens. Daine was going to have a blue gray dress, with a veil and all. Through out the whole meeting, Daine saw Weiyrn constantly looking at Numair. Numair would stare, and then glance away, either into space or at Daine. Daine was confused by this, not knowing what to think.
When they finished the meeting, they all sat in silence. Then, Weiyrn leaned back and said, "So are you thinking of children? I mean, I know that you lost your first child, but are you?" (A/N: if I were them, I would think about that before I answered!)
Daine groaned, blushed, and put her head in her hands. Numair turned scarlet. Sarra gasped and stared at him.
" Weiyrn! That is there personal information!" Sarra lightly slapped him on the shoulder.
Daine looked up her, face burning. " Da!! Please don't make me answer that!" She buried her head in Numair chest, who baried his face in her hair.
Suddenly, somebody yelled, " I hope where not interrupting! We have some news! We are going to have a banquet for your marriage! Plus, it will be tonight."
Daine looked up. It was king Jon, Alanna, George, and Thayet, and (A/N: my spelling check does NOT like these names! Only George, and Jon!)
All the girls looked at her. " And us girls are going to have a sleep over after that! The guys can get together, if they want to. Yes Numair, you have to stay away from Daine for a while. Onua wanted to stay with the horses tonight, but she'll come to the banquet." Alanna said, a glint in her eye. Suddenly Numair, Jon, and George went of together, huddled in a group, walking away, laughing.
Daine said good-bye to her parents. Daine, Alanna, and Thayet walked to Thayets room. After bathing, and deciding dresses, they got makeup and their hair up. Daine had on a simple blue gray gown. It didn't have straps and made her have bare shoulders. Her hair, which Alanna thankfully put up, was up on a loose bun at the back of her neck, with two curls coming down the side of her face.
" We will meet our beast down at the hall." Said Alanna when they left the room. 'Beast's' where really what describe the men. Walking down to the hall, 2 men bowed to them and opened the doors. In the door way stood Numair, Jon, and George. The bowed, kissed their hands, and offered their arms. Each lady took them, gladly. After much dancing, with many other men, Daine reminded herself.
Numair walked up to her and asked her for a dance. It was a slow dance. Daine rested her head on his soulder. He softly sang into her ear,
"To see you when i wake up
and see you sleeping next to me
is a gift i don't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three fold utopian dream.
You do something I can't explain.
So would I be out of the line if I said,
I miss you?
I see your picture and smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already i'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
When ever, far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you."
The song ended, and Daine smiled up at him, tears in her eyes. She kissed him, then hugged him, and whisperd in his ear before leaving, " I love you."
It was probably midnight when the banquet ended. Daine kissed Numair and said goodnight. She was a little worried when he had a mischievous look in his eyes. (A/N again! I love that word! I'll shut up now!)
Daine, Alanna, and Thayet walked up to Daines room. They changed, and then sat down on pillows they threw on the floor. The pillows had cotton in them, so they where big and soft. They talked about their husbands.
" Numair can be so bad sometimes when he snores. Its like a horn or something, or Onua's K'miri war cry. Its creepy and he complains about it!" Daine said. Alanna and Thayet laughed.
Suddenly, the door flew open and there stood Numair, Jon, and George. They all suddenly yelled, " SLEEP OVER!!!" and ran over to the women and jumped on the pillows, and blankets that where spread all over the floor. They each tackled their loved ones, getting yells out of them. Numair looked up from Daine's face to the others who had their hostiges on the floor. The women laughed. " Ready?" He asked. They nodded. The men pulled out something white from there pockets in the coats they each where wearing. Daine noticed what it was when it was plopped into her face. Yells from the women went around the room. Daine wiped the whip cream from her eyes, and opend them. Alanna and Thayet where chasing there husbands around the room, their faces white. Daine looked for Numair. Suddenly, his face was an inch away from hers. He licked her cheek, tasting the whip cream. " MM!!! Daine whip cream! GOOD!"
Daine growled and jump at him. She landed in a pile of pajamas. Numairs pajamas to be specific. She looked around, puzzled. There was a screech above her. There flew a big black hawk. George, Alanna, Jon, and Thayet looked up and laughed.
" Numair! Get your butt down here! Remember I can get you!" The hawk screeched, it sounded like a laugh, " Fine! I'm gonna get you!" She looked over at the group watching, " when I shape shift, take our cloths over to Nmair study and open the window. I'm gonna settle this!" The group nodded, laughing and smiling. Before Daine transformed, she dai, " I know I shouldn't be talking, but you guys look really funny with that all over your faces!" she then took her form as a brown hawk, chasing after Numair as h flew out the door.
