Complications Chapter 14
By: Karigan
'The Color Green'
///////////
(A/N: For this part of the story, I have this vision in my head of how it is. The flashes that Numair gets are supposed to be real fast and intense. If you have ever seen Armageddon, imagine the flashes at the end where Bruce Willis dies. Where it is as if there is an explosion of light between each picture and it goes so fast you hardly have time to see it. I also imagine the intense symphonic music in the background that emphasizes the flashes changing and progressing. This is where I got this whole idea, so enjoy)

He nodded and breathed deeply, keeping his dark eyes locked on Justice's pale blue ones. She swallowed hard and he saw her hand slowly rise up to the side of his face. It was centimeters away from his cheek when he felt as if he were in the middle of an explosion.
A white light flashed before his eyes, and he felt the air around him explode violently into nothingness. All his senses seemed to heighten and disappear at the same time. He was sure the bright light was burning holes into his retina when all of the sudden, he was hit with slight darkness and a million smells. He smelled forest, rivers, mountains, grass, trees, animals, he smelled all the aromas of nature, but above all, he smelled the gentle sweetness of vanilla. An image formed of a face; a face that was looking down. He noted dark brown curly hair and a stubborn jaw line. His first thought was 'Daine', but then the figure looked up to reveal a girl no more than four or five. His vision narrowed and focused until all he could see was the child's eyes, which were hooded from looking down. Then the child seemed to look up at him, and his heart almost stopped at the sight. Her lids came up to reveal big beautifully brilliant green eyes. They were deep green, almost the color of Jade, but at the same time, the darkness of her eyelashes and pupils were a stark contrast to the pure green of her irises. Those eyes seemed to be able to reach into his soul and bring out every emotion he held dear to him.
Then, as suddenly as he had seen her, she was gone. He was slammed once again by brilliant white light. He saw endless pictures of this girl flash before him, all going to fast for him to be able to register. Again, his vision cleared. But his time, his vision turned from the dark passageway of a corridor, to a door, leading to an outside courtyard. As more of the courtyard came into view, he saw various unknown children around the age of six or seven playing a game of tag. Their laughs echoed through his mind, hers in particular. Screeches of her happy laughter filled his heart. His eyes immediately fell upon a girl turned away from him wearing breeches and a tunic. Long dark curly hair swung in the air as she turned to face him. Again, he was caught by the green in her eyes. But this time, he could see her entire face. She had dark beautifully arched eyebrows that matched her hair and eyelashes. Her nose was small and pert and had a dusting of freckles, stereotyping her as mischievous. She has a stubborn chin and a small pink mouth set on tanned skin. He couldn't help but notice how much she had grown. She would be taller then her mother, of that he was sure. She seemed to see him and her entire face lit into a beautiful smile. He felt something deep within him stir again. A love so deep he had only felt it once before. It was a different kind of love than he was used to, but every bit as deep. And he vaguely made out the simple smell of vanilla.
He wanted to call to her when he felt the slam again. Once again, endless streams of visions of the child filled his mind. He felt as if he had to blink repeatedly to clear his eyes and then look again. There she was again, looking around the same age in the last vision. Except this time, she was sitting with an older woman. Daine, a slightly older but still just as beautiful Daine. They seemed to be working on her studies. Daine explaining a math problem to the young girl. The girl looked up to see him and smiled beautifully at him again. A smile that seemed so familiar to him. Her smile seemed almost euphoric in the dim candlelight of the evening. Vanilla filling his senses once again. Daine, noticing the child's attention waver, casually put her hand on the young girl's head and gently turned her face back down to the work. The young girl sighed and continued. Daine looked up at him with slight annoyance and then gave way to one of her beautiful smiles.
He didn't feel the surprise as much as he had before when he felt the next slam on his body and senses. This time, however, screaming and crying bombarded his hearing. He was in the palace, fighting desperately against an unknown force. He looked to his side and saw the Lioness fighting with him. She had her sword out and was in the mist of a deadly dual. He was blasting at an oncoming enemy when he heard the word 'Papa' screeched behind him. He looked to see the now 9-year-old child standing against one of the hallways doors with tears streaked down her innocent face. He lifted his hand and pointed down the hall in the opposite direction of the fighting. 'Run!' he heard himself holler. The girl's green eyes grew unimaginably large as she shook her head in refusal. 'I SAID RUN!' he ordered again. She seemed to jump slightly in surprise, after a moment of further hesitation; she turned quickly and ran down the hall, the darkness enveloping her form as she ran further into the dark halls until he could no longer see her. Then darkness claimed him, and a very deep pain took over his heart. He had lost something very precious to him. And the one think he kept saying was 'I'll get her back. I promise you, I'll get her back.' Then he heard her voice screaming out, calling to something. His ears nearly exploded from the pressure of the young girls screams.

The connection snapped like a twig and he stumbled back from the swaying redhead. He landed against a wall and fell awkwardly to the floor, sweat pouring down his face, eyes wide in shock. Justice fell to the floor as well, taking a harder fall from standing on the chair. She landed flat on the ground and quickly struggled to her hands and knees. She looked up to see him and he was curious to note that her eyes were wide as well. Except, Justice's eyes did not hold shock or strain, they held pure amazement.
