[A/N: This kinda sad, I know you all wanted to have Daine and Numair make up, but I want to make you all keep reading!]

Numair sat down on a chair, sipping some punch, while Lillian was frantically pulling on his sleeve. He resisted the urge to slap her, and intead just ignored her. Lillian had caught up with him, and for the last few hours been endlessly begging him to dance.
"Come dance with me Numy,"She whined, "It's not any fun just sitting here!" Numair's face paled as he heard what Lillain had just called him. Just to stop her annoying begging, he took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Lillian's face brightened, and she wrapped her slender arms around Numair. They began dancing, and Numair would have noticed how tight Lillian was holding him, but he was too busy watching the Wild Mage. Daine was smiling and talking to a young man who was looking like he was in Heaven. She danced with all the men who asked her too, but Numair noticed that Perin was her most frequent partner. Numair's heart filled with hate, and tried to resist the urge to blast Perin somewhere far away.

Daine felt herself being whisked around by many different men, and she smiled and chatted with all of them, but her heart wasn't in it. She watched Numair and Lillian out of the corner of her eye, and she felt a stab at her heart and she watched Lillian pull Numair closer. The man she was dancing with suddenly let go of her and Perin took her hand. Daine smiled at him. He was helping her feel better again, and had become her friend. Tears stung her eyes as she watched Numair and Lillian fly around the dance hall, they were such great dancers together. Perin pulled her closer to comfort her, and she rested her head against his shoulder.

Numair watched Perin holding Daine, and suddenly he couldn't take it anymore. He growled and attacked Perin.
"No Numair!" Lillian and Daine cried together, but to Numair, their voices were only a small distraction. Numair felt a searing pain run through his arm, but he ignored it. Daine desperately tried to yank Numair off Perin, but it wasn't helping. It took Daine, Alanna, Lillian, George, and Jonathan all together to pull him off. Perin's face was already darkening with bruises, but Alanna reached him quickly and healed most of them. Numair's jealous rage slowly faded, and he realized what he had done. He started to apologize to Daine, and a little reluctantly to Perin, but Daine didn't give him the chance. She ran out of the room, pulling Perin with her, as tears coursed down her cheeks.
"Daine wait!" Numair called, and tried to stand, but his arms and legs ached. He watched sadly as Daine stalked from the room, never checking her stride, and he could feel his heart shattering. Numair stood with great effort, and with some encouraging from Jonathan, he trudged after the only woman he had ever truly loved.
