Here was me when I checked my new chapter of my story. *Do double take* *make Sccoby Doo confused noise* "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" Followed closely by hysterical laughter. I'm still wiping my eyes!
Sorry for the mix up. That was NOT the intended chapter for updating. So....uh...just forget that this one even exists. K? Alright...
Again I apologize!!!!
Here's the real chapter!
Inspiration strikes. It's ten o'clock and I'm full of chocolate to keep me going. Maybe that's the key to fighting writer's block! I hope this settles your craving for a new chapter everybody!
Daine's heart flickered for a moment in her chest.
Her breathing came loud in her ears.
Her mouth opened slightly, trying to form the words that were stopped in her throat. Stopped by the fact that the Duke having guessed her secret was inconcievable to Daine.
Seconds ticked by in what seemed like an endless moment. Life was suspended.
Daine dimly noticed Numair walking towards her, anger --and a bit of fear as well-- evident in his face. Evident in his stride. Evident in his body language.
If Numair had been a wolf, Daine would have known a fight to the death was going to break out.
He really loves me... This stray thought seeped into Daine's mind just as she registered that she needed to say something to the sneering Duke before her.
But even as mind registered, body was still numb, still unable to react.
Just as Daine thought she was doomed, courage blossomed in her heart. Anger enveloped her.
The blood that flowed in her veins carried with it unexplained anger at its mightiest.
Daine's head snapped up.
She held her head high, and looked down her nose at the Duke.
A look of disgust filled her face and words filled with the ice that was the opposite of the heat of her anger, bubbled to her mouth.
"How dare you." Daine let loose. These first words, quiet as the ocean were merely the calm before the storm.
"How dare you insult me like that!" Daine had no idea where the words were coming from, but she was grateful for the break in the silence and the oppurtunity to cover up what the Duke may have revealed.
"I would never expect such accusations from a Duke! How could you dare accuse me of being fraudulent! I have never been more insulted. You sir are scum! You dare threaten peace of countries for your little...your little game of guess! And I said good day sir!"
At this Daine spun on her heel and began to walk off.
Numair, who by the time Daine began her outburst was at the Duke side, lowered himself to the Duke's level.
"You come near her again, you threaten her in anyway, you talk with her again..." Numair let the fierce glare he gave finish his threat.
Once Daine was turned away the Duke failed to notice the wild fear in Daine's eyes, the shakiness of her step. Yet these did not escape the attention of George and Alanna.
As Numair caught up with Daine, she whispered to him.
"That was a close one Numair! He almost found out the truth...then where would we be?"
"But the important thing is that he didn't." Numair replied.
They walked to their rooms, whispering the whole way.
Alanna and George eyed each other skeptically. They had caught enough of the conversation to have their suspicions confirmed: Daine and Numair were not from Tyra.
"After what you've told me George, and after what we've just seen, I don't think their in league with the Duke." Alanna whispered to George. "I'm going to confront them and find out the truth!"
As Alanna turned to go George grabbed her hand.
"Just be careful lass. Don't want anythin' to happen to you. Remember he's still a powerful mage."
Alanna smiled at George and took away her arm, uncomfortable with the way George made her feel.
******************************************
Daine and Nuamir entered their rooms, closing--but not locking-- the doors behind them. Adrenaline was coursing through their veins.
"That was a close one." Numair said when they had calmed slightly.
"Too close." Daine murmured into Numair's chest. She leaned heavily on him, grateful for his presence.
Suddenly Daine remembered her previous stray thought. She looked up into the depths of Numair's eyes.
Then she was up on her tiptoes and kissing him passionately on the mouth.
Numair was slightly surprised by this, but responded with zeal.
His hands roamed over her back and butt, stopping here and there. They paused a moment for air, then continued.
With each passing moment the passion mounted.
Then Numair had Daine's shirt off and pressed slightly on her, guiding her towards the bed. Daine responded to this by removing Numair's shirt.
Adding slight pressure, Numair pushed Daine onto the bed. Daine playfully scooted away from him and smiled impishly. Numair went after her and caught her lips with his own.
Again her pressed her onto the bed.
Daine could feel the passion inside her and was aware of nothing else.
That is until she heard a small "oh" coming from the doorway.
Daine opened her eyes.
There stood Alanna.
*************************************
Quickly Daine shoved Numair off of her.
He fell none to gracefully to the ground, but then noticed their visitor.
As Numair and Daine looked at Alanna, Daine couldn't help but react.
"Alanna!"
Alanna's eyes became wider, and Daine clapped her hands to her mouth, realizing her mistake.
Oooooooo! What's gonna happen! Sorry this took so long to get out! But now my schoolwork and writer's block have been lifted slightly. I hope to add mroe soon!
