Numair woke up the next day and looked at the girl besides him. No, he thought, that's wrong. Daine's not a girl, she a women. She's my woman at that. She's my Magelet, my Daine, my wife, my lover, my everything. He heard his mother yell at some poor person down stairs. Yelling at the servants' against, Numair rolled his eyes. He was surprised when Daine's father yelled back. They must be fighting, he realized. Numair got out of bed and grabbed a shirt. Daine and him agreed to not have sex last night. He leaned against the wall with his father. Weiryn did not look happy with his mother. His mother was screaming her head off. Numair motioned for his father and Sarra to follow him to his work room.
'What's with them?' He asked. Sarra magiced a plate of food. The toe older adults sat down.
'You're mother called Daine a slut again.' His father shook his head.
'And Weiryn didn't take it all that well.' Sarra ended. Suddenly Numair heard his mother say something he didn't like.
'You!' She screamed. The three ran out of the workroom. Nitasha had turned on to Daine. 'This is all your fault.'
'What? What's going on?' Daine asked concerned.
'Don't act innocent. If you wouldn't of seduced my son-'
She reached and slapped Daine. Daine put her hand to her cheek surprised. Weiryn went right to the rescue of his daughter. Numair grabbed Daine out of his mother's reach.
'I thought we had this talk.' He suddenly got taller and his voice deeper. Now he looked like a god. A really angry one at that. 'My daughter is not the slut yours is. And if you ever say that my daughter is a slut I'll make sure you regret it.'
'Oh, and what will you do?' Nitasha mocked.
'I'm a god.' Weiryn replied. 'I can do to you what ever I want to.'
'Well do us a favor and make it so your daughter doesn't have sex with my son.' Nitasha yelled pointing at Daine.
'Gladly.'
Weiryn pointed at Numair. Numair clutched his chest and sat down on the step behind the one he was once standing on. Daine looked at her father horrified and suddenly Numair disappeared. Daine looked at the stop where he used to be horrified. She looked over at her father who only had pride in his eyes and he was looking at he spot like it was nothing. He caught Daine's eye and gave her a look. Daine couldn't read it but her mother did. She let her self smile a bit and nodded. Nitasha looked angrier than ever.
'You...you...' She could barely say anything to the god. 'Keep your bastard away from my son!'
She pointed her finger at Daine. Suddenly Daine felt like a knife had just gone through her chest. She looked down and there was no blood anywhere on her dress. She felt every thing blur and voices; she didn't know who's they belonged to, though. Diane felt herself moving, like someone was holding her. Some more yell and then she felt a familiar touch, Numair. He was holding her and yelling at his mother. She could hear him clearly. He gave her over to someone else and got up. She heard him say something horrible.
'Mother, if you think that I'm just going to stand here and listen to this you're wrong. I'm sick of you and Gabby controlling every thing. And now you're hurting the women I love. Yes, love, get over it. If you can't stand it than...'
'Don't even say it Arram.' Nitasha stopped him 'I don't want to stay.'
The rest of the day was a blur to Daine. Even the time she was conscious. She felt Numair, then people she knew but didn't recognize. Then she and Numair were alone. He was fingering her face, rubbing her back, asking her to be okay, and telling her he loved her more than life. She was lying in his arms the rest of the day and then fell into a deep sleep that night. The next morning when she woke up she felt so much better. She could see and hear every thing clearly. She lifted her head and realized it wasn't heavy anymore.
'Numair!' She called. He came rushing in to make sure she was okay.
'What is it sweet?' He sat down next to her.
'Can you get me something to eat?' she pouted at him. 'I'm really hungry.'
'Any thing you wish.' He laughed, surprised by her request.
'Cookies?!' Daine asked.
'How about something healthy?' Numair replied smiling.
'But you said I could have what ever I wished.' Daine went back to her pouted look.
'Wish, sweet, wish.' He corrected. 'Fine, but your mother won't like this.'
'Thank you.' Daine kissed his cheek.
'Your mother's really not to like this.' Numair shook his head and walked out.
Diane giggled and heard him in the kitchen. Then she heard her mother tell him not to spoil lunch and to get out. She then heard him telling her it was Diane who wanted them and that she was awake and hungry. Daine pouted when she heard her mother tell him he could have something healthy. She heard Numair give in and say that Diane wasn't going to be all that happy about it, and her mother laughed. Numair came up with some cut up fruit.
'Told you.' He said sitting down next to her.
'What's in it?' Diane asked.
'Don't be picky.' Numair grumbled while Diane giggled. Then in a regular voice he said, 'Grapes, bananas, apples and strawberries.'
'Yum.' Daine opened her moth so he could feed her. Numair sighed and feed her. When it was gone Daine didn't look all that happy. 'Is that all?'
'Lunch is soon anyway.' Numair kissed her. Diane smiled up at him.
'I love you.' She whispered. She rubbed her nose against him and smiled when he frowned.
'I love you too.' Numair sighed. 'Don't do that, though.'
'Boy, you don't like a lot of things I do.' Daine laughed.
'It makes my nose itch.' He replied. Numair raised his eyebrow when she laughed.
'Only you.' She said still giggling.
'Will you two be alright?' Sarra came to the door with Weiryn behind her.
'We have to leave sooner than we thought.' Weiryn put in.
'I can watch over her.' Numair said ruffling Diane's hair. Daine glared at him.
'I'll keep Numair out of trouble.' She promised.
'Be good.' Sarra kissed both of their foreheads. Weiryn kissed Diane's.
'Stay out of trouble, both of you.' They both vanished. Daine got out of bed and walked out of the room.
'Where do you think you're going?' Numair asked following her. Diane looked back at him and just kept walking.
'To get some cookies.' She replied. Numair rolled his eyes.
Numair woke up the next day and looked at the girl besides him. No, he thought, that's wrong. Daine's not a girl, she a women. She's my woman at that.
