Hiya peeps!! Here is the last half! Hope you enjoy! This is a freaky chappie I suppose. I don't really have any thing to say except read review and thanx to al. me reviewers.

FaithfuLightning: With the whole Chitral's dagger thing. I don't think I would of kept it. It belonged to a god after all. Anyways, I don't think she could of used it since it hurt her so much.

Nothing else worked: No Daine and Numair did not die. Sorry if it wasn't clear. It said among the dead were to figures that were perfectly clear. That was them alive. So don't worry.

Eunae: You already make me suffer at school! No Hera! I didn't mean it! Me duck, uh dragon says hello btw

Megster: Yeah, the whole allergy thing would have really ruined the trip. I'm sorry that happened. That's really gotta suck!! Well hope this chapter makes you feel better! Btw, smarty pants! Although not quite like that!

Roherwen: See it now!! Lol!?

Equestrian-babe101: Yes it is! Only gets stranger! Muahahahaha!

Goddess of Muffins: I do that a lot. Algebra is now my fanfic brainstorm class. Just pretend ur paying attention and maybe you won't get in trouble. And to Mrs. Lastovicka (math teacher) Alex did not say that. May I repeat: Alex did not say that.

Tortall's Resident Wildchild: Good luck with the project. I suppose it's after Monday though, so how did it go? Is there anything better than a fresh brownie? Especially when it's hot and with icecream!! Yum!!

Narm's Briton 44: glad u find it intriguing! Here's the next chappie.

Heather-marie: Chapter for the first revier (that's you!)

Oky doky! Last chappie! The Dance of the Dead, the Demented, and the Dreaming:

Alanna opened her eyes.

"Am I dead?" She thought. It wasn't cold anymore. "No I am not dead," she concluded. She didn't know how she knew, she just knew. She wasn't in the cave any more. She was back to where she was before the snow started. "I must have fallen asleep," she concluded. Alanna began to walk again. There was that sound again! The Lady Knight started to move once more. She saw something move through the trees. What was it? She got closer. She could just make it out. It was... "Daine? Numair?" called Alanna, "Is that you?" The couple didn't respond. 'They continued their dance, weaving in and out of the trees never breaking the stare into each others eyes. Alanna made her way toward them. When she got to them she said their names again. "Daine? Numair?" No answer, "I would appreciate it if you would at least acknowledge that I'm here!" no answer. She reached out a hand to shake Numair's shoulder, or perhaps hit him. She wasn't sure which. The couple stepped away. The knight took a step too. Daine and Numair didn't even break eye contact with each other. Alanna chased after them but they quickened their pace never letting Alanna so much as brush them with her fingertips. The lovers melted back into the tees. Alanna ran after them once again hearing the thing follow her.

Alanna ran and ran but she no longer saw her friends. She thought she saw someone up ahead. Her heart rose until she saw who it was.

"Hello," said Roger of Conté. Alanna screamed in surprise and began backing away. Roger followed her grinning and looking cleared and more there then the last time she had seen him. Suddenly Alanna could back away no more. There was a barrier blocking her way. She decided to run forward and take the Duke by surprise. She tried to run but found she was stuck to the barrier. Alanna squirmed and squirmed but to no avail. Roger once more reached out a hand. His fingers had just brushed her throat when they heard a sound. Roger jerked back a hand and disappeared into the trees. Alanna let out a breath she was holding and waited for the newcomers. She preyed to the goddess that they were friends who would help her out of her predicament. The figures became clear. They were Daine and Numair. Still gliding through the trees. Alanna didn't even bother to call their names. She just stood and watched.

Daine and Numair moved through the trees in perfect time to music only they could hear. The couple never missed a step and never broke a part. Another figure joined them. It was that clerk Perin. He cut into the dance taking Daine. Daine danced with Perin but her eyes never left Numair's. Numair came back and cut in leaving Perin by himself. On and on this went until Perin stalked away leaving the lovers. On they danced. A new figure joined them. Could it be? Yes, it was Ozorne. He moved stealthily form tree to tree. He came up behind Numair. But the couple moved away unaware of their stalker. Ozorne pounced but fell to the ground since the dancers had just moved away. On and on this went tool. Alanna letting out a breath each time Ozorne missed. Suddenly Perin was back. He too followed the lovers. Finally he intersected, taking Daine. At that point Ozorne pounced again. He grabbed Numair and clapped a collar around his neck. Daine and Numair still looked at each other. Perin began to whisper and... Daine took her eyes form Numair and placed them on the clerk's. Now they waltzed through the tees. Numair opened his mouth. He clutched at his chest and voiced a silent cry of pain. Alanna knew his heart had been broken. Ozorne laughed and began to drag Nuamir away. Numair reached a hand out for his love. He kicked and struggled. There was a flash of emerald light and the air was filled with Numair's screams. Alanna could not cover her ears with her hands and her own screams didn't drown out the awful sound. When the light had disappeared Numair and Ozorne were gone and Daine and Perin had disappeared into the trees.

Alanna sobbed. She was interrupted, however, when Roger once again came into view. This time he was perfectly clear. His grin was a big as ever.

"Haha! Look at you! Stuck like a fly to a spider's web. It's coming you know." Alanna paled. She had a guess at what it might be. The sound started again. She heard it moving through the tees. She struggled against her bonds.

"Please don't let this be what I think it is!" she thought. Alanna heard the clicking of pincers. A long hairy leg poked out from the trees followed by another and another. Eight in all.

"God's damn it! I was right!" Alanna screamed at the top of her lungs and struggled against the web. For that was what it was. A large spider web. The owner of the web came into full view. Ten feet tall with large pincers and eight long, hairy legs. This was worse than she ever could of imagined. Roger laughed, Alanna screamed, and the spider darted forward. It seized its prey and tied her up in a mess of web. Alanna continued to scream and struggle. Its hairy leg brushed her cheek and she shuddered. It lowered its head. Alanna knew what came next. The bite. Roger's laughter boomed in her ears. She felt the fangs punch into her flesh.

"Noooo! Ahhh!"

"Alanna!" light flooded the room. Alanna had somehow got tangled up in the sheet (a/n: Okay, I must admit, I toyed with the idea of having Alanna run to find Numair and rip off his black opal pendent.). George looked worried. His wife was sobbing. He wasn't used to that. He drew her into the safety of his arms.

"Shhh," he whispered soothingly, "Tell me what's wrong," Between sobs, Alanna managed to get the story out. When Alanna had calmed down, George said, "That was quite some nightmare!"

"Stupid Numair" said Alanna, "This is all his fault!" George fought back a smile, "yes, I heard you talking earlier this night."

"I bet he's still out there with Daine kissing!"

"You mean like this?" asked George placing his lips on hers and pulling his lioness closer. When they broke a part, panting Alanna got up and went to the door and opened it. On their doorstep lay Daine and Numair asleep still wrapped in each others arms. The Lioness nudged he mage with her foot. He opened his eyes slowly and stared around the dark corridor. Alanna bent down. "Don't talk to me anymore ok? Oh, and I suggest you both go back to your rooms."

Nuamir got to his feet and picked up Daine.

"Whatever you say Alanna" answered Numair still half asleep. As he slowly walked back to his rooms Daine opened her eyes. "What's going on?" she asked groggily.

'I'm not supposed to talk to Alanna anymore,"

"Oh,"

Alanna walked back to George. They both started to laugh. As she got back in bed George said, "Now, where were we?" Alanna smiled and snuggled closer into his arms, "Maybe I should have nightmares more often," she said.
