Da da dummm. . . okay, I'm sorry I lied. I know I said I'd start this fic on Monday, but I actually DID stuff! -gasp- Oh the funky horror!

To any newcomers: Hi, I'm RainbowSerenity. I like pie. I also like people reviewing whether you enjoyed the chapter or not, so don't be afraid to review!!!

This is the third installment of my 'Tamer' series. The first two are called 'April: Dragon Tamer' and 'Diana: Die No Tamer', which you will find if you click on my pen name. Even though it's not necessary that you read them, I strongly suggest you do (and review them -cough-) so you have somewhat of an idea what's going on. Heck, even just read the last sentence of 'Diana' and review that!

Yeah, and I'll be begging you for reviews. Also, tell me what yer favorite sugary thing is in your reviews, because on a good day I like to give out food -throws more lemon drops to Hanni- ^_^

Okay, with that said and done, welcome to 'Lindsey: Tamer's Prophecy'. Please sit back, enjoy the (short) prologue, have some cheese, and remember to review!!!

It starts. . .

Lindsey~Tamer's Prophecy

~Prologue~

One little sound. One little sound told Diana Tamer her father's progress. As long as that sound was made, it was all okay. For now.

"I have good news Daddy," Diana whispered to the shrunken man on the hospital bed. It was hard to act happy seeing her father suffer like this. Danny was a strong man. . .he had taken care of so many dragons. How could he just get this sick?

"What is it honey?" Danny wheezed. Diana wanted to cry. No longer was her father's hair his usual golden blonde, but it was gray. . .not with age, but as a side effect of all the medications.

'Happy', Diana thought. 'I have to be strong for him.'

"I'm pregnant," she smiled. "Shane and I are having our first baby."

"Congratulations," her father smiled. A real smile. Diana hadn't seen one of those for ages.

"I hope you'll be able to see him or her," Diana said. At those words, her smile wavered and she sobbed into her hands.

"I don't want you to be upset," Danny whispered, lifting her chin out of her hands. Tears were streaming down her face. "But I'm not sure if I will."

Fresh tears escaped Diana's eyes. She hugged her dad's hand. "Daddy," she mumbled softly. "No. First Princess. . .then Mom. . .not you."

"Your mother. . ." Danny whispered. "Diana. I have to tell you something," he wheezed, getting shorter of breath.

"No," Diana said, wiping her eyes. "I've stayed long enough. I'll come back tomorrow."

She started to get up, but to her surprise, Danny grasped her wrist.

"Daddy. . ."

"Diana. Listen, you must know this," he said through raspy breaths. "April. . .it was all part of the legend, oh we had no idea. . ."

"Daddy, slow down," Diana said, sitting back down. For a minute, there was just silence---and that noise of the life monitor. Diana was grateful for that noise, but the lines on the screen weren't as comforting.

"Diana," Danny started again. He spoke slowly, as if trying to remember. "There was a legend. . .and your mother. . ."

"What about Mom?" Diana asked, biting her lip. Her mother. Oh, how she wanted to hug her. Mom could make Daddy better.

If she was here.

The noise was speeding up now.

"The truth is. . ." Danny whispered in her ear. Diana's eyes bulged. The truth? Was THIS the truth?

All at once, there was silence. Diana screamed because she now knew the truth about her mother, and because without her scream, the room would be silent.

OH GOD, WHY AM I SO CRUEL?!?!?!

Eh, I guess I'll never know. :P

Hey, what's rhymes with 'phew', as in 'Phew, thank goodness I finally did the homework that was due last week'?

Review! ^.~
