Disclaimer: Ok everyone, I'm sure you've already heard this a million times, but none of these characters belong to me. They all belong to Tamora Pierce, except for Lillian. Of course, I wrote this chapter, so please don't copy my work without my permission. Thanks!
[A/N: Ok everyone, this is the third chapter, and so far it looks like Numair and Daine's relationship is just getting worse!]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Two hours of unhappiness later, Daine saw Numair come back into their room.
"Veralidaine Sarrasri, do you know how you just treated one of my best friends? You have hurt her, emotionally and physically. Thank Mithros I was able to chase her back."
"I wonder why,"Daine thought sarcastically.
"Numair, listen to me, she was the one trying to break up our relationship, she wanted to get married to you!"Daine cried.
"I won't listen,"Numair burst in, "When at first you were jealous, I took it as a compliment because you loved me, now I think you've taken your jealously too far."
"JEALOUSLY!!!!,"Daine burst out,"how could you say that! You don't believe me! You take her word over mine!!?" Daine was so furious she couldn't stop the flow of cutting words flying from her mouth.
"If you have no trust in me, why should we get married, you are already seeing me as a little baby that needs to be under your control!"The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. Numair looked hurt for a moment, then angry.
"Fine, you are the most unreasonable person I've ever met, leave!" Numair shouted. Daine stalked out of the room angrily, trying to hold back tears. .

Daine stumbled into the room down the hall from Numair. It was a guestroom, and Daine decided to stay there for the time being. She sat on the bed and the sharp words she had said to Numair played over and over in her head. Finally she couldn't take it anymore. She buried her head into her pillow and sobbed, her heart nearly breaking. Then, to her surprise, she heard a worried chirp next to her head, and she looked up to see Kitten staring down at her, round eyes filled with worry. Next to Kitten, she saw Tkaa looking gloomy also.
"How did you two get here," Daine wondered in surprise.
"We followed you here because we were worried,"Tkaa quickly explained.
"Well at least some one cares about me,"Daine replied, her eyes filling once again.
[A/N: Well, it seems like Daine is drowning in her self pity here. I know this isn't very Daine-Like, but I'm just trying to make it dramatic, so bear with me! Please Review! Next chapter will be up when it get 17 reviews! So review review review!!]
