Im REALLY sorry about the wait guys, it took a while to get my five reviews and just when I was updating the blackout hit!! I'm planning to update as soon as I can!!

Severed Possibilities

The cloaked figure grasped the wooden hilt firmly in his hand, pulling a small glass vile

from his pocket and slicing away its cork lid with the newly sharpened blade that lay in

his callused fist .Removing his hood and staring with hazel eyes at the fiery haired figure

that lay on the small healer's cot, she looked like a child amongst the swarms of linen

blankets, beads of sweat running down her waxy skin as she thrashed her head back and

forth in sleep filled desperation. The man leaned close to the bed ridden woman, the soft

moonlight silhouetting his nose and his strong facial features. He grasped the vile firmly

in his left hand and slid it under his wife's freckled nose, a worried expression playing

across his face. Alanna breathed sharply cringing as the sour smell of murky sea shore

and sour milk filled her nostrils ,sputtering slightly she opened her lids.Eyes that were

once bright purple were pale and dull ,weakened with the pain that constantly ebbed its

way across her body making her stay awake for long hours and vomiting every time she

tried to move. She glanced up into a relieved face that she barely recognized as George ,

wanting to smile but was to weak even to keep her eyes open for much longer. George

leaned down his head resting beside that of his lover's. The Baron of Pirate's Swoop had

ridden swiftly as soon as he heard about the attack not knowing if his beloved lay dead or

alive in the fields . The panic that had swamped his body slowly began to fade as he

lay next to Alanna .While listening to the Lioness's breath and slowly being lulled to

sleep by the his wife's shallow heart beat a tear ran down his cheek landing on Alanna's

curled fingers.

George awoke with a startle as he heard discreet footsteps from behind him, he turned

around to find Duke Baird, sloppily dressed with large circles shading his green eyes

."George , may I speak with you a moment " his voice was calm yet hinted with

graveness as he spoke. George raised to his feet , knees aching from kneeling at Alanna's

beside then whole night.Leading George into an uninhabited portion of the tent he spoke

softly."The blade that cut her was sharp it cut deep , to the bone slicing

an artery and even some of her organs . She's going to have a difficult few months ahead

of her , the fever and loss of blood has weakened her a great deal and that scar may hurt

her for a long time" The duke smiled grimly , opening his mouth to say something and

then closed it , a sorrowful expression lining his mouth. "Come Baird , 'tis best if ye just

tell me now" George's voice held a hint of distaste knowing that there was worse to

come ."I am sorry George , the wound was deep and I don't believe Alanna will be able

to bear any children".

Same goes 5 reviews and I update with a NEW!!!!! Chapter. They have to tell Alanna.
