Disclaimer: I am v. afraid of lawyers; please do not sue moi. I'm lawyer- phobic. I should be on Extreme Phobias, like the baked beans guy. If you replace the baked beans with lawyers and make the guy a girl, it would be me. That's what they have in common – baked beans and lawyers. Next time someone asks you what the difference between baked beans and lawyers are you say...

Chapter 5: Confession

=====

During her meditation, Evvy suddenly said, "Briar, I need to talk to you."

Briar opened his eyes, "Sure." He said.

They walked into the garden, and stood facing each other. Evvy leaned up and kissed him. Briar pushed her away, "What are you doing?" He whispered fiercely.

"Don't you understand? I'm in love with you! Can't you tell? Forget Sandry! Be with me! I can do anything she can! I'll do anything for you, choose me!" She cried. Evvy suddenly felt like she was being watched. She looked around and saw Sandry standing in the sunshine, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Sandry looked at Briar with sorrow. There was a flash of something in her eyes, and Briar knew immediately what she was going to do.

"No." He whispered. She had heard every word. Sandry turned and ran. Without hesitation, Briar ran after her – leaving Evvy behind.

Deep in Evvy's heart, she had given up. There was no use competing against her. Sandraline fa Toren over-shadowed her in every way. So, she'd have to get her out of the way - somehow.

Sandry ran and ran; not stopping to catch her breath, not stopping for anything. She just wanted to get as far away as possible. She started slowing down. Was it just her or did the grass seem to cling to her? It was getting harder and hared to move, but Sandry trudged on, determined to put as much room between her and the house. Suddenly she felt herself caught up in someone's arms.

She looked up to see Briar's face. "I'm really sorry." He said. She smiled at him bitterly.

"What are you sorry for?" She asked, "You've done nothing wrong."

"You're unhappy and I'm sorry for causing it."

"It's not your fault." She looked away. "I suppose you're going to choose her now."

Briar avoided her gaze. "I-I don't know"

Sandry pulled out of his embrace. "I trust you'll at least tell me you decision when you've made up your mind." She said coldly.

"Sandry!" Briar called after her. "I..." His voice trailed off as Sandry turned away from him.

"Don't do this!" He shouted after her.

Farewell

Dear readers, I'm sorry but... I'm going to take a break from writing for a while. I want to have more time to read other people's works. I'm sorry, but I will come back, honestly, I will. Alternatively, if you know of any good stories I should read (preferably in this fandom); please leave a note in your review.

Bye for now. :(
