(a/n Be happy for me people I'm published!!!! I wrote a short story for a
newspaper competition and I won!! It got published in the newspaper
WHOOO!!!!!! Anyhow *reading through list of reviews. Gets to chapter seven.
Winces* Relax I like Daine. Anyway, I figure we have at least 1-3 or maybe
even four chapters left. But people we have to face the facts. This is
almost finished, so I have something to say, *pouts* I want more reviews,
or I just simply won't finish this. No wait in fact I'll leave it, on one
the most horrible cliffhanger possible and not finish it. *evil laugh*)
I'll Never Forget You
Vessel
Daine was leaning against the wall of a deserted part of the palace. Breathing hard. She'd basically run all the way here after the ceremony. Just told Ozorne she needed some air and gone. She looked down at the ring on her wedding finger. She closed her eyes. Thinking to herself, wake up, wake up now, this is just a bad dream, in a minute you'll wake up and Kitten (a/n kitten is in her rooms. Ozorne didn't want her around for the ceremony.) will be by you and Numair will rapping your door talking about lessons. She opened her eyes; nope no change still in a palace still empress still married to Ozorne.
She did the only thing she could do in that situation, she closed her eyes again.
"Daine?" An enquiring voice asked. She jumped a mile and her eyes flew open, to look into those fiery purple of Alanna's.
"You scared me don't do that." She breathed. She turned away, partly. Not wanting them to look at her.
"Sorry. It's just we've been looking for you; you disappeared at the end of the ceremony. We wanted to talk."
"You were late. Why?" Daine closed her eyes again.
"We ran into a storm. It almost wrecked the ship." Once again her eyes flew open.
"Are you okay?! Was anyone hurt?"
"We're fine."
"Thank the graveyard hag."
"The storm was magicked Daine. Someone was trying to stop us getting here." The voice was Numair's. She turned to look at him, full on.
"Ozorne." She said what they were all thinking. "I will talk to him about this. You've got my vow on that." Her voice was low, and angry.
"Daine how are you?"
Something snapped, in her brain, which made her lash out them, "Apart from my friends leaving me in a strange country with a mad man, being forced to marry that very same mad man on my sixteenth birthday, and then them being late for the worst day of my life, oh no. No I'm fine, just fine. How about you?" She knew as she said this the hurt she was causing them but she just didn't care, they hadn't had to go through this.
"If knew how sorry we were, how we felt everyday knowing that out friend was stuck in a different country. How bad we felt." Numair whispered.
"Sorry won't do anything Numair. It won't give me my life back." Then she sighed and dropped her head into her hands. "I'm sorry, the last thing I right now is to fall out with my friends as well. I'm just stressed." She felt a hesitant had on her shoulder. She looked for the owner and found Numair.
"It's okay." Alanna said quietly. "I think we deserved that."
"How long can you stay for?" Daine asked quietly.
"As long as you need us." Numair said immediately.
"That would be to long, even for you. Your country needs you as well." She stood up, dress swirling. "Come on now. I'm supposed to be an empress I can't go round hiding from my own people."
(a/n I have to include the gods in this sometime *shrug* now's as good as ever.)
Meanwhile in the divine realms.
"Weiryn we have to do something. This simply cannot go on any longer. Our child is suffering down there. Do something." Sarra said angrily.
"Sarra this is a mortal affair we cannot do anything. We're not allowed."
"I don't care. My daughter, our daughter, is miserable and you won't do anything! This is not right. My child wants her life back, can we not do nothing?!" Sarra was almost hysterical. She had watched Daine from the moment she had died and now she was not pleased with the way things were going. Knowing it was pointless trying to talk her mate around, she had asked the badger to talk to the graveyard hag for them.
"We are only lesser gods Sarra, we can't do anything. We need one of the great gods." Weiryn said for the second time. Sarra sighed.
"This is not right." She said again, "We are gods and yet we can do nothing to help one who needs it?" Weiryn's reply was cut off when the badger appeared in a swirl of silver light. By the way he was snorting you could tell he was angry.
"Sarra I spoke to The Graveyard Hag."
"What has she decided?" Sarra asked.
"She wants to use Daine as vessel. Give her part of her power to bring the dead to life."
