Chapter 4
Daine woke up in an unfamiliar room. Looking around, she noticed that she was still wearing the gown from the night before, but was even stranger was who was holding her. Suddenly, the night before flooded back to her, causing tears to trickle down her cheeks.
Unaware to Daine, Kaddar's eyes flew open to the sound of a girl weeping. Slowly her sat up and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. Startled, she quickly turned to look straight into the eyes of compassion.
"Daine, are you alright? It's okay, I'm here for you."
She slowly sank into his chest and cried till she had no more tears. Then a shocking thought came to her mind.
"They are going to think we slept together. What are we going to do?"
"Why does it matter what they think. Let them talk, it shouldn't hurt you any."
She then realized that she wanted people to think what they want, that will get back at Numair! So, once she got tided up, they left his room and made their way towards breakfast. Once there, Daine noticed many of the nobles whispering to each other. A grin spread across her face and she scooted her chair closer to Kaddar's, taking his hand in the process, hoping to encourage more talk.
After breakfast, Kaddar took Daine to her room to change into clothing more suitable for riding. While she was changing, Kaddar left to change himself, telling her that he will come back to her room when he finishes.
Once changed, she heard a soft knock on her door. Running to open it, hoping it was Kaddar, she was surprised to find Alanna there instead.
"So! You spent the night at Kaddar's last night," she said slyly, raising her eyebrows, "What were you doing there."
"Nothing, I was only there because I was upset. Kaddar and I were out in the gardens when Numair caught us kissing. He exploded and started yelling at Kaddar. He left and Kaddar took me to my room. When I got there Numair was on my bed. He started to profess his love for me but I refused, I went to leave when I found Varice outside crying, she heard him say she was just a fling. When she ran off, he chased after her so I went to Kaddar's for comfort. I had a really rough night and I just fell asleep in his arms."
"Oh, I see."
Just then there was a knock on the door. Daine walked over to get it, only to find.
"Well, speak of the Devil!"
"Daine, look I'm really sorry, I was drunk."
"You know what Numair, I don't want to hear any excuses. I'm not going to take you in. You missed your chance!" Daine screamed at him.
Numair walked into the room trying to reason with her but she just wouldn't have it. Then he saw Alanna with that disappointed look on her face.
"How you you do that to her," she asked angrily.
And just to make this scene even more uncomfortable, Kaddar walked into the room to find Numair, Alanna and Daine all giving eachother very nasty looks.
"Maybe I should come at another time?"
"No, I'm ready to go riding. Bye Alanna, Numair."
And with that Kaddar and Daine walked out the door arm in arm. The walk to the stables was very quite as Kaddar tried to piece together what just happened.
"I know what your thinking. Alanna came over because she knew where I spent the night, she's not mad. Then Numair came because he wondered where I was at breakfast. That's all."
"Ok then, which one would you like," he asked, pointing to the many rows of horses.
Daine walked over to a magnificent brown and white spotted horse.
"Ah, Forest. Excelent choice, she's one of the better ones."
"You know all of their names?"
"Of course, I love riding," he stated matter-of-factly.
Soon the horses were saddled and they began to ride off towards the forest. After about a half an hour of riding they came upon a beautiful pond. But there was something unusual about this place.
