Dark Healer

Chapter 6

…..

Well there isn't too much to say about my lack of updating… What if I said that I haven't updated anywhere? Because I was so busy with school, life, and RPing. Heh heh… ^-^; …. Don't hurt me! *Hides from angry readers* Gomen Gomen Gomen!!! (BTW Gomen is Japanese for "I'm sorry!")

Anyways… I was kind of out of the mood from writing or reading for a while… it does happen occasionally. Also I realized a flaw in my story… but no worries I found out how to fix it. I also noticed all my spelling errors… eh heh heh… man I hate it when I do that!

I guess I'll just have to read and edit everything updating them again…. And for those who have been wishing me luck on getting published. Thank you! Though I of course got a letter saying that they didn't accept my story. (I'm not surprised though.) The chances of an editor even reading my story is slim to non… that's why I just need to keep trying! When I'm finally published it will be a bit easier.

In any case! On with the story!



Nittia woke that morning feeling tired and very sore but despite that she smiled remembering the long night spent love making. She was sore but pleasantly sore. Despite the sun shining brightly outside, so the clock on the wall claimed, the room was filled with darkness. The left over embers from the fire place filled the room with a warm glow and it illuminated Janevons features to her.

For a moment she felt her heart surge, she had finally fallen in love, she had known since the minute she had stared into those beautiful violet eyes she had known she was in love. She struggled to keep back the reality that she was not his Life Mate. Her struggle failed and she felt her heart tighten in pain.

She could lay here all day staring down at him loving him and wishing that she belonged to him but it would be pointless. He had bedded her because she had asked it of him. She had read enough Carpathian books to know that they did bed human females some times but once they met their life mate they were devoted totally and completely to their mate.

/I… I can't take it…/ her friends had mentioned how painful it was to be in love some times and only know did she fully understand what they had met. She knew that some were out there was Janevons life mate… and it wasn't her, no matter how much she wished it so.

/I need to get away from here…. get away from him. It will hurt me more if I am near him or am reminded of him… if I leave now I might be able to get over him with less pain…/ Some how she doubted that thought as her heart was wrenching painfully at the thought of leaving him. It was for the best, for him and for her if she never saw him again. She was so thankful that he had shown her the art of love making but she needed to get away from him before she fell even farther in love.

Legs week and wobbly from the hard hours long sex Nittia pulled herself from his bed and onto the floor finding her clothes in the darkness, pulling them on quickly ignoring the pain ripping through her heart as it knew what she was about to do.

Standing up she looked down at his sleeping form, he had purposefully slept above ground so that they could sleep together on the same bed. How she wished to be there with him when the sun set….

Pulling her head away she fought to control her head and her heart, she had to leave before she lost her conviction. One foot of the other she opened the door to find bright light poor into her eyes forcing her to blink teary eyes before they adjusted. Nittia paused at the door way and lifted her fingers up to her eyes realizing that those tears hadn't come from the sun. She took one last longing and painful look back at Janevon before she closed the door softly behind her and took the long trek back to the Inn.



"Nittia, where have you been? I was so worried!" Erik's voice rang out with anger and worry echoing in his words, pulling Nittia out of her daze. Each step seemed to be harder and harder to make her heart longing to take her back to Janevon and beg him to make her his mate.

She lifted doe like eyes up into Erik's concerned blue eyes and she felt pity for him realizing now what is was like to care for some one who could never care for you in the same way.

"I'm sorry…" a soft voice answered coming out of her cracked lips apologizing for more than just being gone all night. She wondered if her face showed the constant crying she had endured the way here, at times her vision had been blurred because of those tears.

"…What happened to you…" Erik apparently noticed her tear stained face as his voice lowered concern predominate in his facial features.

Looking away not liking that look she saw in Erik's eyes she whispered softly, "you wouldn't believe me if I told you…"

Erik was very quite for a moment and then a thought ripped through his head causing anger to over power his concern as his hands became fists, "You were with Janevon weren't you." It wasn't a question it was a statement.

Her back stiffened at the anger she heard rippling through his voice and flowing off him like tidal waves.

He took her stiffness as a yes and for a moment he saw red. This complete stranger had stolen her from him, had probably bedded her and taken her heart then thrown her back into the woods, which would explain the tears.

"I'll kill him…" His voice sounded venomous.

Head flinging up painfully hard and fast she took his anger and threw it away so he would listen to her.

Erik could feel it and found himself very agitated, "Dang it Nittia! You need to do something about this!"

"I am…" she spoke softly, "I'm leaving…"

"Leaving?..."

She nodded looking down, "I'm going home… I can't take anymore of this… after Nicole's death… and this… I just want to be alone…"

He paused and then nodded, "Yes… you're right you should leave. I'll come with you."

"NO!" her voice shocked him into silence, "no" she repeated, "I'm going alone… I don't need to ruin you're trip just because of me…"

Silence filled the air for a moment a flock of birds flying over head, "Joan will be disappointed in loosing our designated driver." He said trying uselessly to fill the silence and cheer her up a little.

She gave him a smile trying to get him to stop worrying, "I'll be fine Erik… enjoy you're self… and don't go after Janevon… just… don't" She didn't want Erik to get angry because of her own stupid heart.

"But He…"

"Promise me!"

A pause and finally a sigh, "Fine… I promise."

"I'll contact the air port and change my return flight ticket for today."

"When will you be heading off?" he asked.

"As soon as possible…" she paused, "Before night fall." She added and left Erik to slip into the inn.

For a moment Erik stood there numerous emotions racing through his heart; Anger at Janevon, Fear of loosing Nittia, disappointment and frustration knowing that he couldn't do anything. He hated feeling powerless and that was one thing Nittia often made him feel like. Most times he enjoyed the challenge of it but this was not something he enjoyed…



Ding Ding Ding

The speakers in the plane rang announcing that the pilot was going to speak, "attention passengers' flight 112 to Olympia, Washington is now preparing to take off. Please sit down and make sure you are buckled up."

/I should feel relived that I'm on this flight/ Nittia thought as she stared out at the small Carpathian airport /but I feel like my heart is going to rip in two…/ she closed her eyes for a moment resting her head against the back of her seat. /I hope this pain fades away with time because the farther away I get from him the more painful it gets/

The planes engine started and rolled down the run way tipping it's nose up into the sky, the sun shining directly over head as it flew off taking Nittia with it.

.

With the sun setting two violet eyes opened wide in pain, as their owner realized the absence of one very important person.

"Nittia…"

So what do you think? I left you at a very bad place neh? ^-^ *Evil smile* EH! Heh heh heh! *Evil laughter* well no worries folks. I'm going to try REALLY hard to update more frequently so the next chapter should be up soon. Hopefully you wont have to wait much longer. OH! And any of you reading and reviewing this could any of you give me a good idea of a fantasy short story that doesn't evolve romance? I'm afraid I've gotten so used to writing romance stories that it's hard to come up with anything else.

Give me an idea of some fantasy story (with no romance) that you would like to see and I'll see what I can do. Probably post it up at fictionpress.com I'm registered on there but I don't post much on there but poetry and a few short stories (Romance of course) check it out if you want. I'm called "Michiru1"
