CHAPTER THREE: LATER WEEKS
Disclaimer: You know, I almost feel disappointed because I DO own the characters. :( Poor, priveliged me.
In the weeks that followed after, Crystal continued her intensive training. She often trained late into the night, sleeping for only a few hours before getting up to do more. She was usually exhausted, which was close to impossible for an elf. If she had been a mortal human, she would probably have dropped dead.
One day, however, she felt refreshed and ready to work. This had to do with something that had been developing for several days....
After the interruption of Crystal and Alaeo in the gym, they had gotten closer and closer to each other. They noticed each other more than before, and they often gave each other glances as they worked together. Today, Crystal intended to tell Alaeo how she felt.
She was almost skipping as she dressed herself in breeches, a loose, sleeveless shirt, and her softest boots. Pulling her long hair back in a braid, she walked to Alaeo's room so they wouldn't be interrupted.
Crystal reached his room, started to knock, then decided not to. Opening the door, she started to greet Alaeo....
Only to find him in his bed, holding another elf to himself. Crystal took one horrified look, then dashed down the hall crying, running as fast as she could.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Crystal huddled in her secret room, tears running down her face freely. She felt awful, for several reasons.
I can't believe you thought he loved you.
Why did you love him?
I hate him.
He can die-he and that little witch he was with.
Her thoughts continued this way for a while, before she finally got a hold of herself.
"Look at yourself," she said coldly, "Crying over him. He wasn't worth it. And all you're doing is wasting your time crying about it. Idiot."
She knew this wasn't fair, but she said it anyhow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alaeo felt horrible. When Crystal had burst into his room, then left, he had kicked out the brunette elf he was with and got dressed. He now sat on his bed, thinking thoughts similar to Crystal's.
You idiot.
She loves you.
Didn't you love her?
I can't believe you.
If it hadn't been such a bad experience, they probably would have laughed at the almost identical thoughts they were having. But it was, so they didn't.
Alaeo wondered how he would apoligize. He thought of and discarded several ideas, before finally finding the perfect one.
He knew exactly what he was going to do.
A/N: Man I picked a good point to stop at didn't I? Well, I hope my readers *Hiya Eruvande! * are liking this. I didn't know what exactly to do, so I kinda stole some ideas from another story. Then again, most ideas start with one person before spreading now don't they?
