I'm back.

Thanks to: Rei, Angel of light, Mama-Sama, Shinigami no Tenshi, Cari CuGat Sahdi, and Kristin for all of your reviews. I appreciate it soooooooo much, Please continue R&R. I will work on what I need to make this story better as well.

Oh and Angel of Light, my e-mail had been messing up a while back anyway, so that's probably why it didn't work. But now it should be fine. I hope.

Chapter 13: Powers Arising

'...' Means someone's thinking

"..." Means someone's talking

AN: Author's notes

A few seconds later...

"Master Healer? Master Healer, where are you? This is an emergency."

"Quatre, is that you? What's..." She gasps, as she sees him. "Is that Lady Adriana?"

"Yes, I need help."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. She was talking to me one moment, the next she just passed out."

"Put her on that bed." He obliges, while she grabs Adriana's wrist, and begins checking her over. "I don't find anything wrong with her." She says, as she finishes the checkup minutes later.

"I don't understand...Wait a minute."

"What? What is it?"

"Master Healer, you don't think it could be..." He stops.

"What? Wait a minute. You mean...Their individual powers. But that can't be. It's too soon, isn't it?"

"I don't know."

"I need to discuss this right away with Lady Noin. Do you think you can watch--"

"Yes." She looks at him surprised.

'He answered pretty quickly. Is he developing feelings for her, towards her? I wonder.' "Okay then." She says, and then walks off.

'What is wrong with me? I answered so quickly.' He turns to face Adriana. 'Is it because of her? What am I starting to feel for her?'

A few minutes later...

Quatre sighs, looking outside, deep in thought, when suddenly he hears a sob. He sees Adriana still asleep, but can see tears forming in her eyes, as she continues to sob. He walks over to her, and hears her start to mutter. "No, no, stay away. I don't want to. No."

"Lady Adriana, Lady Adriana, wake up. Please wake up."

"No, no!" Suddenly he feels a large gust of wind, blowing him back against the wall.

"Oh, augh." He says, as he slowly stands back up. 'Oh no, her power's already awakening. But why now?' He walks over to her slowly, trying to recover from the blow, when he sees her eyes slowly open. "Lady Adriana?" She opens her eyes fully, looking at him.

"Sir Quatre?" She looks around. "Where am I? Oh no. What happened?" She asks, quickly sitting up, but he gently pushes her back.

"Calm down."

"What happened?"

"You fainted and I brought you here to the Master Healer."

"I fainted? Did she find anything wrong with me?"

"No."

"I don't understand. How can there be nothing wrong with me, and yet I somehow fainted. Or could there have been something wrong with me when I fainted, but now she can't see it? What do you--Sir Quatre?" She asks, as she sees him looking in another direction, a line of worry etched on his face. She stands up, and comes over to him quietly. "Sir Quatre?" She lightly taps him on the shoulder, and he turns so quickly, he surprises. "Oh you scared me."

"Sorry."

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, yes."

"Are you sure? You seem...Preoccupied with something. Or worried."

"No, I'm fine."

"Sir Quatre, please tell me the truth." He grabs her hands in his, and she seems surprised, but then relaxes.

"I'll be fine Lady Adriana."

"But..." She stops.

"But what?"

"Never mind. Where's the Master Healer?"

"She went to see Lady Noin."

'What's wrong with him? He's never talked to me this way.' Suddenly she sees a medium sized cut across his shoulder. "Sir Quatre, what happened to you?" She asks, as she carefully grabs his arm.

"What? Oh, it's nothing."

"How did this happen?"

"I'm...not sure."

"Why are you lying to me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Stop lying to me."

"Lady Adriana, I--"

"Just tell me. And don't lie to me."

"Lady Adriana, I am not lying to you."

"Then tell me what you're hiding."

"I'm not--"

Yes you are hiding something. I see it in your eyes. Why do you have this cut? Why is the wall over there..." She starts, as she points, and then speaks up again. "...Cracked slightly. I want an answer and I want it now please." He looks at her, and sees a determined look on her face.

'Now what do I do?'

End of chapter. It isn't much of a cliffhanger, but still. Oh and I'd like to ask for some help if you want. I read a review another person left and she said I should find more ways to show time has past. Anybody have any ideas? Well if not thank you anyway. I know I haven't updated my stories very much as I used to often, but I am trying though. I'm going to put a goal on myself to try to write a chapter of each of my stories every week. And put up a poem I want to very soon as well. Oh and I apologize for any errors found in this chapter.
