Numair rushed to Daine's side and shook her. "Daine, get up!" he said. He took out his wakeflower, but not even that did the trick. "Daine…" he said again. No response. He gently picked her up, and put her on the bed. He went out of the room, to look for part of his lover- Star Bright.
* * *
"And, that's the deal, Alanna." Star Bright finished saying.
"Wow… that's incredible, but also dangerous. Marcus? Who would have known. But what is that shadow thing?" Alanna wondered.
"The shadow is a lot like the darklings except none of his blood needed to be shed. If Marcus dies, so does the shadow. If the shadow dies, so does Marcus. Though as crazy as it seems the shadow is a lot easier to kill than Marcus is, so if you are foolish enough to try to go out and kill him now try the shadow." Star Bright explained. Numair came in the door, looking panicked.
"It's Daine." He said. Star Bright shifted back into her cat form, and Alanna and her followed Numair back to his rooms where the unconscious Daine battled the demon inside of her.

Thrashing and turning
Voices in my head.
Falling into darkness,
Instead it is my bed.
A cold kiss of insanity
Find that I'm
Drifting away from humanity.
Ripped from reality
Into the back on my mind-
Feeling no sense of security.
Into a trap I was lead,
Now I fear that
The pain won't stop till I'm dead.
* * *
Marcus smiled evilly over Daine's body. The shadow appeared and flung her over what looked like a shoulder. Marcus slowly and calmly walked out of the room, and the shadow slid through the floor. Cold sweat ran down Daine's face. She would have a very unpleasant surprise when she woke up.
* * *
The shadow that haunts me
I think took something and,
Now I can't be happy.
A shock of pain again
Now I'm wondering
If it will ever end.
I'm now even more sore…
I know that this pain
Is different then anything before.
My body goes numb.
In my ears I hear something
Like the sound of a drum.
Know I'm drifting away…
And also a cold realization.
Everything changes today.
* * *
Alanna, Star Bright, and Numair rushed into Daine's room only to find her gone. The only way they knew that she hadn't left on her own was the badger god's claw laying on her bed so that she wouldn't be found. She had been kidnapped.
* * *
Will I ever again see you?
You soft lips against mine-
I really hope I do.
Here I am though,
Dreaming again.
The pain clearly will show.
I wish I could be in your arms, oh Yes!
But now I wonder…
Could this be the final test?
Just a test?
* * *
Daine slowly opened her eyes. What she found was what she least expected. She wasn't in Corus anymore, at least she didn't think she was. She closed her eyes and thought of what she did expect; what she wanted. She wanted for Numair to be by her side- tell her it was all just a bad dream. Then he'd kiss her, and she would be happy with herself. But noo. She was chained up in a dark dungeon and probably miles from her home only to be taken over by- she stopped herself, forced those thoughts out of her head. Numair would find her- he had a focus! She smiled to herself. And the badger could help. But wait. She didn't have the claw…
* * *
Just a test would be great;
And not that my only hope
Was a lot of luck or fate
To know that it would turn out fine
And not have to worry
About running out of time.
Ugh, I'm just a dreamer now, too.
I lost my magic now, so
I have to think of something new.
To get me out of here,
And so I don't
Shed any of my tears.
* * *
Numair was frustrated. Completely, utterly, fustrated. With Daine missing without the badger gone and his focus stolen they probably had no hope what so ever. But then an idea popped into his head. One he didn't like, but one he needed to use to get to Daine. It was all for Daine… He needed to go to someone for help. The one person he hoped that he would never have to talk to again. Varice.
* * *
But what if that I backfire?
And then what if
I completely tire?
These "what if's" make me insane.
I don't like thinking
Of the kinds of pain
That could happen to me.
I feel so helpless now,
I just want to be happy.
And to live my life
With you-
Me as your wife.
* * *
Daine never felt so helpless in her life. Here she was, locked up in a cell not even knowing where she was with part of her magic abilities gone. And now she probably was going to be destroyed and her body used for… who knows what? She hoped Numair would think of something soon if she couldn't. She probably could get the animals to help her if she got free. The real problem was getting out of these chains…
* * *
How do I get out of this?
I remember how I used to think
Everything could be cured with Mommy's kiss.
But now I know that won't work.
And you know,
That really does hurt.
This is the day
Everything will change
Now that I am away.
