A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. I didn't know I was so popular ;-) I would have updated had I known. I changed email and it wouldn't let me on the site. It got confusing and I completely lost track of the story. I haven't read the books in a while so forgive me for misspellings or if something seems unlike the characters from the books. I will try to stay as true as possible. On with the fic!
Kit stood in his doorway as Nita dropped the paper and it floated to his feet. He picked it up. "Nita, I think you should leave now. You shouldn't have read this, it wasn't for you." He knew he was lying through his teeth and that the last thing he wanted Nita to do was leave.
Nita couldn't believe the harsh words spewing from Kit's mouth. How he touched her with his poetic verse! Now, all he could do was deny everything he said. Tears started to leak from the corner of her eyes. She was angry and upset but most of all, she didn't know how to feel.
She gave a slight chuckle which made Kit look up. "You are such a boy! I know that letter was written to me. It had my name on it! And that poem was beautiful, how could you deny the things in the letter." She gave a wordless scream of frustration. "I don't know how long I have felt the same exact way about you as I thought you did for me, at least I thought that after I read your letter." She still held the poem in her hand. "This is what I think of you Kit!" She tore the poem into tiny pieces and threw them in his face. Then she slapped him and stormed out the door, too angry to use a transit.
Kit couldn't believe what Nita had just said to him. She felt the same way. Nothing else mattered, she felt the same way. Everything else was a blur, the ripping up of his poem, the slap. He sighed for everything felt right. Kit loved Nita and Nita, NITA!
Kit stormed out of his room after her into the cold stormy night. He didn't even stop to put a coat on as the rain made his shirt stick to his defined chest. "NITA!" Kit couldn't see two feet in front of his face, let alone find Nita in this mess. He reached out along their mental connection, but as he did so, Kit felt the connection snap with a brush of anger.
Kit had to find Nita, had to tell her face to face how he felt. She could never realize it with some dumb note. He reached out to Darline and found her in Nita's room. "Dar, where's Nita? I have to talk to her, it's an emergency." Darline answered, "She is right here, crying. She wont tell me why, what happened to her?" Kit shut off the connection instantly and raced towards Nita's house.
As soon as Nita stepped out into the rain she decided to calm down for a minute so she could set up a transit. The transit took a couple of tries but she got it just as Kit came running out of the door.
Nita couldn't stand the thought of not being with Kit. He was her wizardry partner and best friend, but how could they ever go back to what they had? Nita couldn't stand the lonliness of knowing she would be that close to him without ever being able to call Kit hers.
She could feel Kit searching for her. She didn't want him to find her, not like this. She cut off their connection in anger, not at him but at herself. She knew he would eventually come here, whether it be by himself of by Darline's guidance. She didn't care. All that she wanted now was to be left alone.
She told Darline to go away and wrote a letter herself.
