Unwanted
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Deltora Quest characters. However, I do own Dakota, a character I have chosen to throw in. My best friend, Stephanie, owns Dakota's boyfriend and best friend, the mimic, Lillend. (I don't think I will be putting Lillend in this, however, I probably will have Dakota in this)
Summary: This story is pretty much a story about romance between L/J (Lief and Jasmine). It will also have quite a bit of romance between Ranesh and Marilen. Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy this fanfic… although, I'm not sure how often I'll update it but I might update it once or more times than that a day, depending on my end-of-the-year homework and such from school. Over summer you'll probably receive several more fanfics on Deltora Quest from me.
WARNING: And on comes the fluff.
Chapter VI
~*~*~
"Where is she? I want to go and check her!" Lief said.
"Lief, you are not well, you need to rest," Tira said. "You don't need to worry about her, she's
stable, she just won't wake, but she should be stable and once you're better
you may go and see her."
"No, I have to see her now, you don't understand," Lief said.
"What of Barda? Why not go and see him instead?"
"I do not wish to see Barda if I know he will live, I want to see Jasmine!"
Tira sighed. Her and Dakota soon left the room, shutting the door behind them, not wanting Lief to get out. Lief was trying desperately to sit up, but every time he did he would have pain shoot through his chest and he had to lay down again. Lief was on the edge of crying out for Jasmine but he did not, knowing better than to do that. It was well into the next night before Lief could sit up without any pain, and so again, he tried to leave the room to see Jasmine, but he did not know where she was.
Lief searched through the house that they were in. He came across the room Barda was in, and figured that Jasmine's room could not be far off. He continued to search for it until he found it.
The sound of Jasmine coughing was coming from that room. Lief entered it, and shut the door softly behind him. This startled Jasmine and she jumped. She had woke not that long ago, and was still trying to figure out where she was.
"Jasmine?"
"Lief, where are we?" Jasmine asked. Her voice was hoarse and it sounded like her throat was sore. Lief walked to her and sat down on the edge of the bed she was on. Jasmine looked up at him, waiting for his answer.
"We're in Tora, Jasmine," Lief said. "We made it here, and I've met someone who knows why nobody has made it to Tora the last while. So now we know what, but this can't go on forever."
"What is it?" Jasmine asked, a hand at her throat, as she sat up.
"Something to do with the elementals. They aren't happy, apparently, something is making them restless, and they're attacking people for no apparent reason," Lief answered. Looking down at tiny Jasmine's body as she coughed, which brought more pain to her chest and throat, made him want to reach out and hold her, and take away the pain to be his. Although, Jasmine, being the type of person she was, probably would rather Lief keep his distance and not touch her, and she would never admit she was in pain, especially immense pain like she was now.
Jasmine merely nodded, laying back, her head on the pillow. She closed her eyes in a long blink. Lief was just watching her.
Jasmine sighed, and eventually she opened her eyes, and looked up at Lief. "What happened?" she asked.
"Huh?" Lief looked at her, confused at first because he had been lost in thought, he blinked his eyes.
"What happened? Back before we were brought here…" Jasmine trailed off.
"Well, some wolf-like creatures attacked us, as you know, and something pulled you into the water. I don't know how those wolves were chased off, but Tira said it was because of Dakota, that half demon girl who told me about the elementals. She must have chased them off," Lief said.
Jasmine merely nodded. She began to cough again, and Lief put a hand on her back as she sat up, still coughing. Soon Jasmine stopped coughing, and was leaning on Lief, her hands at her throat.
She groaned. "I don't like water… I didn't like it before, but I like it even less now," Jasmine said hoarsely. Lief nodded slightly, rubbing her back gently with one hand.
For a third time however, that pain shot through Lief, and he fell to his knees on the floor, falling off the bed, hands on the ground, blood poured out of his mouth again, and he began to pale.

TJ: Many of you are probably wondering what it is with me and making Lief cough up blood. Dunno what it is, but whatever it is I like so much about it, it makes me laugh at Lief.
Lief: Why me?
TJ: Because.
Lief: That's not an answer.
TJ: It is now. *pokes him in the eyes*
