yeah. ummm. so this is my first claidi journal fanfic. i thought of it today when i was reading wolf tower for the umpteenth time. so does anyone know if theres another book coming/already out after wolf queen? i hope there is... it cant just end like that!!! ::sob of anguish:: anyway yeah. sooo. ahem. im starting now.

After Nemian left my room, I felt horrible. The night before, Argul had asked me to stay with the Hulta, and now Nemian was asking me to stay with him. What was I supposed to do. What would you, my imaginary friend, do if you were in this situation.

I must remind myself over and over again that you aren't real, and you would never be in this situation.

Anyway. I'm writing this from a wagon, so that may give you some hint as to what path I chose.

The sun had been up nearly an hour. Argul. I had to meet him and tell him. Who's heart was I about to break? Nemian said he NEEDED me. I suppose I had needed him, back when we had first left the House. And Argul....

Argul.

I supposed I needed him, too, but in a different way.

The tree was white, a great ball of snow, much different than it had been the night before. Argul was already there. I supposed he had been waiting a while, anxious for my answer.

Argul.

Just WRITING his name gives me chills. (???) I'm a hopeless case.

His fist was clutched around something tightly. I didn't know what it was, but I was about to find out.

"Claidi-baa-baa," he greeted, half-cheerily, half-worried. "Lovely morning, isn't it?"

I nodded, a nasty lump stuck in my throat. Within the next minute or so, I was about to break someone's heart. "Argul," I said through that lump. Oh, I wished it would have gone away quickly!

"Have you thought about..." He swallowed almost violently. Apparently, he had a lump in HIS throat, too. "...about what I said... Last night?" He was still magnificent. Some of his glory leftover from the nightbefore. Some had rubbed off.

"I think I'll..." I paused. "Stay." I could visibly see Argul's face relaxing. Some of his glory returned. "With the Hulta," I added.

He smiled, and again I thought of how brilliant his teeth looked against his tea-colored skin. "I hoped you would. I KNEW you would." He took my shoulders in his hands (quite a firm grasp he's got there) and said, "Claidi, I love you. I LOVE you!"

"Argul," I said quietly, "I love you too!"

He pulled me into the only hug I have ever received from any men, then kissed me. (also my first kiss, and quite a good one at that) Then he pushed away and opened his hand. A beautiful ring revealed itself. It was quite interesting, most like his charm. "Will you be my Hultai Chura?" (which means Leader's girlfriend or something. I found that out later. But what he was really trying to say was "will you be my bride." something I also found out later. But that suited me too."

I agreed, of course. What else could I say?

It was then that we noticed Nemian watching us.

yeah thats the first chappie.

please review

have a great day.
