Chapter 4
(AN/ You see Daine and all those people? Yea I don't own them. *glares at Tammy* SHE owns them! The unfairness of it all...)
Kieta: *flinches* Ooh not the best review... Ah well, I did ask for complete honesty. I'm not saying that Daine is REALLY in love with him, at this point she has only known him for a little while and most of what she feels is lust.
Ketchupfiend: I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter dedicated to ya! I had you in mind while I wrote it. :p I will try my very best to keep the chapters long! Yea I am planning on Nummy finding out in this chappy but he's not going to be at all happy about it!
Dreamseeker812: OMG! I totally forgot Daine has a bit of an accent! Thanks a ton for reminding me, I'll try to work that in somehow. As for Daine never wanting to stay in Carthak in my ficcy I don't think I ever said that but if I did I apologize, Daine wishes she could stay with Kaddar forever but not in Carthack (sp?) Anyways thanx for reviewing I hope you'll keep reading, I love getting new reviewers!
Zara: Ah I see we have a Daine and Nummy lover reading this! And while I like Nummy he's like 20 years older than her and I dunno... It just seems kinda kinky to me! But thanx for reviewing me!
(AN/ Okily dokily on with the show... *curtains open and Daine walks out onto the stage* " Hello all you people out there! This story as you know is all about ME! And it REALLY is ok by me if ya want 't send me fanmail or anything like that! *wink* So on we go with chapter 4 in which we learn if I do or do not break up with Kaddar!)

" I'm so sorry Kaddar. I would do anything for things 't be different." Daine said into Kaddar's shoulder. He pulled her face up to meet his dark eyes,
" Daine you said you would do anything for things to be different would you really?"
" What do you mean? I don't understand..."
" Would you stay? I could tell uncle to let you stay here as my bride! We could always be together! Forever! Oh Daine... Would you? I think I might be in love with you. Please?"
Daine almost said yes. But then she thought about what that would really mean. She could not leave, could she? Leave Cloud and all her animal friends and not to mention all her human friends as well. She thought of never seeing Ouna or Numair or Alanna again. Or Miri or Evan or a thousand other people she had come to know and love. Could she do that? No. She could not. She remembered the words Alanna had said the night before,
" The Emperor will always hold the key! Maybe he'll tell you two that you have to marry he'd say it was a reward for your saving his little birdies. Daine THINK! He would control your lives and the lives of the people that you love!"
Daine shook her head still crying softly. She looked up to meet Kaddar's eyes. When he saw her face he knew, knew she would not, could not stay.
He got up and walked off quickly and little did Daine know that as he left tears leaked down his cheeks feeling like hot acid running down his dark cheeks.
********************************************************
Kaddar slowed down once he reached his bedchamber. He flopped on his bed fighting back the scream of rage that pumped through him. Not at Daine but at the fact that everything was so messed up! If things had been different this would have never happened. He would be free to be with Daine.
There came a knock on the door and in walked his uncle, the Emperor. Kaddar sighed and turned off his side and onto his back. The Emperor sat on the bed next to him.
" My dear, is there a problem?" He asked his voice was soothing and quiet. Kaddar thought about telling him everything about him and Daine about his worries and his hurt, hurt that she had said that it would not work... Hurt that she had said no.
He looked over at his uncle he looked into his eyes. But all he saw was a underlying coldness and greed. There was no real compassion in his amber eyes. Kaddar opened his mouth,
" No uncle. Nothing is wrong... Nothing at all."
********************************************************
Daine didn't know how long she sat on that bench with her head in her hands before Numair found her. He sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms and embraced her pulling her tight against his chest.
" What's wrong sweet? Why are you crying? Daine?" He asked her with worry in his voice. Daine could feel his deep voice reverberating in his chest. For a while she was crying too hard to answer but after a while she quieted.
" Please tell me. Maybe I can help. You won't know if you don't try me."
Numair tried again. Daine shook her head but the story came tumbling out before she could stop herself.
" And he asked me to stay with him but I said no because I could never leave you and everyone and so I said no and then he just LEFT! And I don't know what to do I know that I CAN'T and WON'T stay here but... Numair? What's wrong?"
Numair had pulled away from her and was sitting with his face turned away from her own.
********************************************************
AN/ So whatta ya think? Good? Bad? Horrible? What? I hope I don't get bad reviews! *bites nails* Also I am not planning on turning this into a Daine/Numair fic. She loves Numair but... More like the way you love your dad or uncle ('cept in Kaddar's case that is) just though I'd give ya a heads up. Sorry it took me a bit to update. I broke my knee so I have been having problems getting motivated to write but I promise to try to be better about it. Also I DEMAND not only that you review but that you PLEASE read some of my other fanfics! I don't have any other Tammy ficcys but I do have 2 hp fics and a Tuckever Lasting fic that I'm rather proud of. Anyways! Go read NOW! :-p
