It was near nighttime again, and the sun had set. Daine slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to see that she felt fresh, clean, and happier then she had in a little while. She then remembered; it was the demon Numair had taken out. Though, she felt less full. In a way it was somewhat of a refreshing feeling not having the old full feeling. "You're awake!" Numair exclaimed when he came in.
"How long have I been out?" Daine asked.
"Almost a day." Numair told her. He sat down in the bed next to her.
"I wonder where Star Bright is," Daine said and rested her head on Numair's shoulder. Even though she had been sleeping in a way for nearly a day she still felt tired.
"It'll be hard to find her, magelet. We may never find her. We may have been beaten." Numair said, looking out into the night sky.
"Well you're really looking on the bright side of things, Numair." Daine said sarcastically.
"That's a good thing." Numair said in a daze.
"Numair, I didn't mean it." Daine said and gave him a slight shove out of his daze.
"Oh." He said sheepishly.
"What's on your mind, Numair?" Daine asked. Numair looked down at her.
"You." He said calmly. Daine blinked.
"Me?" Daine said.
"Yes, you. You've been through so much, and now you may never get your powers back and you lost a part of yourself." Numair said.
"We'll find Star Bright Numair, don't worry." Daine tried to assure him.
"You never know what may happen." Numair said.
"Stop worrying about it, Numair. Just relax tonight. That's exactly what I want to do. I've had enough trouble already, and with Star Bright missing I'll probably have more." Daine said. Numair smiled.
"OK, we can relax tonight. I will too, since you won't if I'm not. I know you." He said and reached down to Daine, pressing his lips against hers in a kiss. Daine returned it and scooted closer to Numair and hugged him.
"This is definitely the type of relaxing I like." She told him and once again brought her mouth to his. Of course, Alanna had to pick this time to walk in. She put her hands on her hip when she saw the two.
"Hope I'm not interrupting you." She said with sarcasm. Numair and Daine laughed and parted.
"Well, aren't two fiancés allowed to kiss?" Daine asked stubbornly.
"What ever. Anyway, I think I may know where Star Bright could be. Numair told me about her." Alanna added. "There's been some suspicious activity down south. I'll go check there since I need to go south anyway and send a letter back to you. How does that sound?" Alanna asked. Daine smiled.
"How long will that take?" She asked her.
"About two days." Alanna replied. "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"That's great." Numair said, and Alanna left the room. "Pick up where we left off?" he asked Daine. She laughed.
"Surely." She said and once again put her lips to Numair's.

Star Bright struggled against chains. Chains were evil, nasty things. These particular chains were even more evil and nasty because they went around her neck. Wretched things. Star Bright shifted slowly into cat form to be rid of those nasty contraptions, but it just shrunk to fit her. She went back to human form, and they grew. That thing made them even more horrible then the nasty things was. "Damn you, queen o' shadows." Star Bright hissed.
"Queen of Shadows." The queen corrected her for the millionth time.
"Queen o' Shadows for all I care about titles." Star Bright said. "Queen o' Shadows, Queen o' Shadows," Star chanted.
"Shut up, already!" The queen said.
"Why?"
"Because I said so." The queen's anger rose.
"Why?" Star Bright said again.
"Because I said so, so SHUT UP!!" Her voice would have made any person shake in fear, but Star Bright wasn't a person. She was a cat, a stubborn one at that.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
"Why."
"Please?" This was getting pitiful. Very pitiful.
"No." Star Bright said, and stuck her tongue out at her.
"Why you bitch…" The queen growled.
"I'm no dog." Star Bright taunted.
"Bastard." She then said.
"Cat's don't have marriages, you twit." Star Bright said.
"Just shut UP ALREADY!" She roared again. This time, she made the wretched chains tighten around Star Bright's neck.
"I'll stop!" Star Bright said.
"Good. Actually, you're kinda amusing." The queen confessed. "It does get lonely around here." She said.
"Then go capture some guy to be your husband and let me GO!" Star Bright said. Oops. Bad idea. But the queen didn't take it the way Star Bright thought she would.
"Been there, done that. Though, it was quite some fun…" the queen admitted.
"Please don't go there." Star Bright pleaded.
"What ever." The queen said, bored.
"How old are you?" Star Bright asked.
"As old as the People roamed the Earth." The queen said.
"Okay, old. Gotcha." Star Bright said. "Just how long was that?"
"Like I keep track of it?!" The queen snapped.
"Yeesh, no need to be testy, now!" the cat snorted.
"Get used to it."
"Obviously I'll be here for a long time." Star Bright groaned.
"Not necessarily," The queen told her.
"What's your name anyway?" Star wondered.
"Kiasui." She replied. (Kee-ah-sue-ee)
"That's an odd name." Star said.
"Just call me Kia. Anyway, I thought of it a long time ago. My real name is just Queen o'- Great, now look at what you made me do!" Kia scolded.
"Heh. I'm rubbing off on you, eh?" Star Bright laughed.
"And I don't like it." Kia protested.
"Too bad. It's not like I can control myself, you know." Star Bright informed her.
"So what. I'm the one in control here, you stupid cat." Kia said bitterly.
"Cats aren't stupid!" Star Bright said.
"No, I like cats. You're just stupid, that's all," Kia said.
"Oh- Hey!! I'm not stupid!" Star Bright said.
"Yes you are. And you are because I said so. Have any questions?" Kia said.
"Yeah. Can you say that I'm not stupid?" Star asked. Kia snorted.
"No." Kia told her.
"Please? Pretty please?" Star asked. Kia rolled her eyes.
"What ever." She finally said.
"YAY!!! I'm not stupid!" Star Bright said, very stupidly (A/N: LoL).
"You're an idiot now." Kia said.
"Is that better?" Star Bright asked.
"No, it is the same." Kia said and rolled her eyes.

Daine got into a night gown (A/N: Does she have one…?) and sat down next to Numair again, who looked at her grinning. "Just one more kiss…?" he asked her. Daine sighed.
"All right, master mage." She said and leaned over to him, gently pushing her lips against his. Numair gathered her into his arms and returned the kiss. Daine smiled as she stopped for air. "Happy?" she asked him. Numair pouted.
"Come one, Daine…" he said, acting like a little child.
"Don't whine, Numair." Daine scolded, and leaned back in for another kiss.
