Author's Note: I only got ONE review. Just ONE LOUSY REVIEW. But that's okay, I love you all anyway and I'm gonna post another chapter anyway. So I'de just like to thank Willowwater, who actually reviewed me. Thanks for the support. Anyway, here goes chapter 2. Enjoy!

HOW DARE YOU?!?! Boomed a thunderous roar that bombarded Elizabeth the minute she plunged into the water.

Elizabeth cast her power out into the sea. Please, she began, what did he do?

INSOLENT!!!!!!!! Came the near deafening reply. The waves were crashing up against her and Dan, trying to knock them down.

INSOLENT!!!!!!!

Elizabeth decided that she would give Dan a good kick if they survived. Please, she pleaded, I know he's insolent. Please don't kill him, he means you no harm.



HE CHALLENGED ME!!!!!!!!!!!! Make that a good, hard kick.

I did NOT challenge him! Dan objected in a weak voice. Another wave crashed down, nearly pushing Dan under. Elizabeth lent him some of her power. Please, she tried again

NO MORE WORDS!!!!!!! Thundered the sea, and it began crashing down on them both, hard. Elizabeth panicked. Oh no! she thought, I can't stall him any more!

The waves rained down on them. Weak and exhausted from trying to stay above water for so long, Dan finally couldn't take any more. He slipped under. "NOOOO!!!!!!!" Elizabeth cried. She slammed her power out and started to battle the sea. She couldn't let it take Dan! She battled the waves magically and physically, all the while trying to bring Dan to the surface again. Even if she defeated the sea, it would do no good if he drowned during the process. He got above long enough to take a quick breath before he was knocked down again. Elizabeth battled harder, she was furious and she didn't care how crazy it was. She had to fight. She could only get him up for brief moments before he would be knocked back down again. She couldn't go much longer. Dan was under again. She tried to pull him up, but she couldn't. The seconds dragged past and she tried in vain to get him to the surface, he was drowning. NO! she thought, You can't die! But, try as she might, she couldn't do anything. He'd been under for 25 seconds, and tears streamed down her face as her impending failure began to sink in, 30 seconds, 31, 32- all of a sudden, the ground began to rise, 35, 36, 37, and Dan and Elizabeth were soaring through the air. They landed safely on the beach. Elizabeth slowly sat up. Dan didn't. He lay motionless where he'd fallen. A healer was at his side, trying to revive him. Nothing.

Author's Note: *sob* he's dead!!!!!!!! Or is he? The suspense is KILLING ME!!!, Wait a second, I'm WRITING this story. I already know what's going to happen. But you don't. HAHA! Find out in my next chapter. And please, be merciful and review. Even Flame, just give me some indication you've read it.
