Dreams that hurt:
Numair carried Daine back to where Kaddar was. He was already asleep under the tree that they were sitting under before. Numair put him under a sleeping spell too so he wouldn't wake up. He probably would wonder what was going on if he woke up and Daine was screaming that she hated Numair. He looked down at Daine and sighed, she was still asleep.
All he has to do was wait for her to start the fire works. He knew that the moment she woke back up she was going to be scared out of her mind. She's going to think he was there to hurt her and he needed to let her. All day he would make her do things she didn't want to. Then tomorrow he would be as sweet to her as he was when she was mad at him. Then she would realize that every thing was in his mind. That would only take about until noon and then he would have to live through a afternoon of her tears. That would be the hardest. He had to talk her into giving him her memories and then he would have to figure out how to get rid of them.
Daine began to stir she opened her eyes and she slapped him. She jumped put of his arms and tried to run. Numair grabbed her and pulled her back onto his lap. Daine fought hand, foot, and teeth. Numair put his hand over her moth to silence her and she bit him as hard as she could. Numair wrenched his hand out of her mouth and pined her to the ground. Numair didn't want to but he had too. He reached his hand up like he was going to slap her and she stopped.
'Stop it.' He said. 'I don't want you hurt and I will slap you. Daine I know you don't get this but stop, you can't do this.'
'Numair, you wouldn't.' Daine whispered.
'I don't want to. Daine, you mean the world to me. All I want is to get you out of yourself. That's what you're afraid of, yourself.' Numair looked really hurt that he couldn't do anything.
'I know.' Daine whispered.
'What?' Numair got up. 'You know you do this?!'
'I always have.' Daine whispered. 'I just do it. I don't know why.' Numair looked like he wanted to kill something.
'Why didn't you tell me?' He looked at her.
'I thought you'd laugh at me.' Daine said. She looked sincere. Numair picked her up and hugged her.
'Oh, magelet, I'd never laugh at something like this.' Numair whispered to her hair. 'Why would you think that?'
'Because you did.' Daine whispered.
'What? When?' Numair pulled her away.
'I told you that I was scared of things and you laughed and told me that I was just being silly that nothing could ever happen to me.' Daine ducked her head.
'Oh, Daine I never would have said that if I had known. Oh, Daine I would have never said that to you if I had known. Oh, magelet.' He held her.
'Kaddar?' Daine looked up.
Kaddar hit Numair and grabbed Daine out of Numair hands. Numair dropped to the ground out of surprise. Holding the back of his head he looked at Kaddar. He opened his mouth to yell at him, but Kaddar got to talk first.
'If you ever go near her again I'll arrest you.' Kaddar threatened.
'Kaddar!' Numair wrenched Diane out of his grip. 'You idiot! You don't even know what you're talking about!'
'You've been beating her!' Kaddar reached for her again. 'I'm the emperor, I will tell you what to do.' He grabbed Diane and pulled her away. When Kaddar started walking away Numair called after him.
'Kaddar, you don't know what you're doing!' Numair let sudden fear for his wife's life run into his heart.
'If you go near her, I'll make sure you are executed.'
Kaddar pulled Daine away. Daine looked back at him. She knew she needed him. All he did was mouth to her, don't worry I'll make sure you're safe. Daine realized that Kaddar was officially back to his jerky self. He pulled Daine away and she looked back at Numair for the last time.

That night while Kaddar was trying to start a fire, Daine picked out all the memories she had to give Numair. She knew they would be lost forever, so she went through them one last time. She let them go for the last time. She kept them at the front of her mind. All she needed was to see Numair and they would be gone. That night she pretended to be asleep so she wouldn't get scared. All she could do is wait for Numair.

Daine was drifting off when she heard a noise. It was Numair cursing silently. She sat up and reached out her hand. She was ready. She wanted him to stop tripping and get to her before he woke Kaddar up and got into real trouble. He smiled evilly at Kaddar. He put a bit of dung on his hand. Daine looked at him like he was insane. Numair walked over to her and kneeled next to her.
'Every morning he rubs his face before he opens his eyes.' Numair told her. Diane tried hard not to laugh.
'I got all the memories.' She whispered.
'I'm only taking the felling, not the memories. Okay?'
Numair took her hand. Daine felt a rush. Suddenly she felt like very thing was happy. Numair looked like he had been hit with a hundred arrows. He looked at her. She felt really bad about making him fell what she always had.
'this is what you've been living with?' Numair asked touching her face.
'I know.' She whispered. "I'm sorry.'
'Don't be.' Numair put his hand on the ground. Black magic lined with gold ran into the ground. 'See, all gone.'
'Good night.' She whispered.
'Get some sleep.' Numair kissed her lightly. 'I love you.'
'I love you too.' Daine whispered.
She fell asleep instantly. Kaddar stirred and put his hand against his face. Numair stuck his tongue out at the younger man and then made a face. Great, he thought, Daine's rubbing off on me. Numair left, deciding that he best leave before Kaddar got up.
Numair carried Daine back to where Kaddar was. He was already asleep under the tree that they were sitting under before. Numair put him under a sleeping spell too so he wouldn't wake up.
