A/N: Sorry I haven't updated ~what's it been 2 months~ I want to get this story over with. If you read my last a/n you know this isn't going the way I want it to and just read the last note I'm too lazy to retype it, anyway this chapter is dedicated to CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88 who been reviewing since I posted the first chapter. I'm writing this chapter for her. She seems to like this story more than I myself do. The next chapter the wedding will be out sooner than this one was.

Chapter 9:

Just when Numair thought all was lost a flash of red hair and purple ran through the doorway and up to him.

"Alanna? How. what." Numair stuttered.

"Numair shut up and give me your hand!" Alanna commanded.

"Why?" Numair asked highly confused as to how and why Alanna was there.

"Goddess, Numair you dolt, quickly before this whole building caves in and we're all dead! You no perfectly well that I can't stop this but you can!" Alanna answered and grabbed his hand. Numair felt a jolt, then warmth flowing through their connected hands which were now glowing a dark shade of purple and black. Alanna broke the connection and stumbled backward a little having transferred almost half of her Gift into Numair.

Numair coming out of his reverie realized what Alanna just did. With his renewed strength he shot bolt after bolt of lightning at Gavin until his shield finally gave in. Then

"Gavin Dregoneir," Alanna said, placing Lightning to rest against his collarbone, "I hereby arrest you in the name of King Jonathan and Queen Thayet of Tortall for the crimes of abduction and use of illegal enchantments. How do you plead?"

Gavin glared and spat out blood without saying anything.

"How do you plead?" Alanna repeated this time pressing Lighting harder against him so that a trickle of blood fell.

"Guilty" With that Alanna tied his hands together behind his back while Numair went over to Daine and picked her up.

(About two weeks later)

"Alanna?" Daine asked as she peered around the Lioness' chamber door in the castle in Corus. Alanna sat on the window sill polishing her sword.

"Hello Daine, come in," Daine stepped in on the invitation. "Is there something I could help you with?"

"No.actually I was wondering for a long time how you got to Silverwood Towers."

"Oh I thought, you knew. I saw you fly threw the library window," seeing the look on Daine's face she added, "I knew it was you. The eagle I saw was too small to be a normal one.

"I saddled up Darkness and followed you tracking you down with my Gift if I lost you. Once we reached the Towers I saw you circling and after a while dive out of my sight. I went around for a place to go in without being noticed. There was a back entrance I set a diversion for the sentries there to go after they weren't all that smart." Alanna added as an after thought.

"It was well into the next day when I got in. I felt the building shake and I followed the traces of Gift into that hall or whatever it was it half gone by the time I go there. You know the rest."

"Why didn't you bring a troop of the Own or the Riders with you?" Daine inquired.

"You seemed to be in a hurry. Taking a troop especially the Own with me would've slowed me down you won't believe how long it takes them to get ready." Alanna replied with a sigh.

Daine laughed.

"So you're finally getting married. Nervous?" Alanna asked with a glint in her eye.

"Not at all . well actually I still think he'll wake up one day and see an immature child."

"Daine, you could never be anything near being an immature child no matter how hard you tried."

"That's true" Daine said with a smile.

"I have to go meet with Jon I'll talk to you later, Daine" with that Alanna left.
