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. P.S. The last chapter and this chapter and a tiny bit of the next resemble a little part of the Meteor Garden plot. Don't sue me! Thanks for reading and REVIEWING!!

[A/N: Hi again, sorry the last chapter kinda sucked. I just had to tell what happened to Lillian and have Daine FINALLY understand the mistake she made. Well first of all, I want to thank everyone that reviewed. While I was looking through reviews, I found out that I'm on some people's favorites list! Wow! Thanks so much! It makes me happy…^_^ Here's all the people I found, I'm sorry if I left anyone out, I didn't mean to! *looks guilty* Anyway, I'll try to get everyone.]

Cinereath, Lady Lianna, Lady Marie, Lady Katrina - Twitch, queen of chickens, The Lady Maharet of Raleigh, and Flicker Fire Fly. Lady Jilly Bean put me on her favorite author list! Thank you all sooooooo much! And also to Martini, Daine, and Clarylissa for reviewing almost after every chapter! Thanks again!

(Oh yea, and to my friend, "Alanna of Collins," thanks for your support!)

"NOOOOO!" Daine screamed desperately, "why did you come!! They just want to kill you! Don't let them use me against you!" Numair just smiled sadly, "You know I would never let them hurt you magelet." At these words, sank down and buried her face in her hands, tears trickling down her face. Daine could see there was no hope, Numair had magical bonds against his magic just like Daine did, and Daine couldn't kill herself. If he tried to hurt Ozorne in anyway, Ozorne would hurt her, and Numair would have to give in. "Why did you come Numair!? Why!?" Daine repeated over and over sobbing. Ozorne grinned, and beckoned towards Numair. He obediently stepped forwards, and the stormwing sneered.

"Well well well Numair, I'm glad you came, you don't know how much torture you just saved Daine." For emphasis, he slapped her, and Numair jumped up, only to be held tighter by the guard.

"You said that if I came alone and unarmed you wouldn't hurt her!" Numair said, his face expressionless. Ozorne turned around, "You know that I'm going to kill you right?"

Numair nodded.

"Well if you stopped talking so much maybe I'll let it be less painful!" Ozorne shrieked.

"Please begin, I die with no regrets, only that I won't be able to marry the woman I love," Numair declared, glancing over at Daine.

"Close your beautiful eyes magelet, don't watch him kill me. Goodbye, and remember, I'll always love you," he whispered.

"NOOOOO!" Daine screamed, "Ozorne don't do this! Please, I beg you!"

"Too late now," the stormwing king yelled, "say goodbye to your lover!" He pinned Numair to the wall with strings of red magic, and Daine struggled against the bonds that had suddenly appeared, also tying her to the wall.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Daine screamed until her throat was hoarse, jerking frantically, trying to free herself while she watched Ozorne scorch Numair over and over with sheets of red fire. Numair was turning pale, and he began to slump, but he didn't cry out. He was bleeding from a million wounds, and his clothes were torn and shredded. Suddenly, Daine realized that Numair was her life, she loved him with all of her heart, and couldn't live without him. She was losing her sanity as she watched the person she loved most in the world be tortured because of her.

[A/N: Isn't that a HORRIBLE ending! Well if you want to see what happens, hurry and review! Aww…Isn't it so sweet when Numair tells Daine to close her eyes…*sighs* Will Numair live? If he does, how? Does Daine lose her sanity? Wow, all those questions. I guess you'll just have to wait, and in the meantime, REVIEW!!]

Martini: Ok, I read your poem, it was good! Hehe, I know, wasn't that evil! Oh well, I've found that if I leave u guys at a cliffhanger, more people are likely to review! Mostly to call me evil, but that's ok! ^_^

Cinereath: *sniff sniff* This chapter is so sad, but sweet. Poor Numair…I guess that makes up for all the evil things he was doing.

Anonymous: Sorry I took a while, this chapter was hard to write!

Lady Jilly Bean: Thanks sooooo much! I'm going to read some of the other stuff you wrote. Your story was good! Wow! I feel special! I'm on someone's fav author list! U can be on mine too! I think u deserve it! What is the author alert thing? Does it alert u when the author updates or something?

Daine: Yea, I think that once I'm done with the story, I'm gonna write about how Lillian was destroyed! Haha, since I only vaguely mentioned that Ozorne destroyed her. Does that make everyone happy? ^_^

Lady Lianna: I know! Wow! U have a VERY accurate guess there…*cough cough* I'm not going to say anymore…the last chapters are going to be about how Lillian died and how Ozorne actually came back. ^_^ Yea, I love romantic stories..*sigh* Wow, if u liked that, u will DEFINITELY be enjoying all the rest of the story…*hint hint*

Raashna: Yay! Another new person! I love it when new people review! Not that I don't like my loyal reviewers. ^_^ Thanks!

Clarylissa: Sorry if I confused you, I kinda rushed through this part. Ok well the guard is Ozorne's guard, and he's used to tie Numair up and bring him to Ozorne. Who's everyone else? Well Daine is in a secluded area with only Ozorne, and Numair had to come alone to save Daine. Do you get it now? I hope so. ^_^

Thanks for reviewing!

queen of chickens: lol ok, I will update as soon as I can…I'm sad, the fic is almost over! At least you still have the How Lillian Died chapter left to look forwards to…oops, did I just say that? Lol. P.S. They WILL get together again…that is if Numair doesn't die…*grins evily*

Senna Night: Hehe, yea, I like cliffhangers too, as long as they aren't on a story I'm interested in..lol. Ok, I'll try not to do anymore REALLY mean cliffhangers anymore. The fic is almost over anyway…*sniff sniff* *hugs fic*

Alanna of Collins: Bowling for Soup? Ok..whatever…^_^ hehe, yea, I dunno if "Landen" is totally my Numair, but that's ok..lol.
