Wow! I can't believe the number of reviews I got for chapter 1. I can't believe so many people liked it. i didn't particularly like the first chapter but oh well. Before i thank my reviewers i'm going to answer a few things that a lot of people reviewed about. Yes the characters were very very OOC. Sorry if it bothered you. I was experimenting in a way i suppose. well that problem sort of rights itself towards the end. Maybe even in this chapter. Anyways! Thanks to:
Lord Scribbles: I'm glad. I love writing thoughts.
Valkyrie228: DN is the best thing in the world i think. Sorry if this was too long a wait for chapter 2.
A Fan: Yep. it's driving me crazy too and i wrote the stupid thing. Here's chapter 2!
Goddess of Muffins: Hoorah! YOu completly love it! THat just makes my day!
Equestrianbabe-101: I happy that u like it. enjoy this chapter.
wildmage58: Yeah i know. Usually i do write Numair pretty well if i do say so my self. I was sort of screw big words for like five minutes. I am so tired of having to change the way i talk all the time. To tell you the truth i love to use big words but i have always explain my self with certain people (this is usually when i baby sit actually at you can't blame little 4 year olds for not knowing the word postern) so some complain that i do use big words and some complain that i don't use big enough words. Oh well. I am definatly an idiot. hehehe...
Annaweb: is there anything better than fluff:? Except for Numair i think not.
Tortalls Resident Wildchild: Yep. I don't think snogging would be an everyday vocabulary word for our fav characters but oh well. i am the all powerful author and i can make them say kersplgenborg if i want to. Muahahaha! THe power!! lol!
alex: this is weird. I am answering a review to my self. Well not really but you know. Same name and all. They will realize what's right in front of them soon. don't worry.
Luna y Sol: Yep out of character all right. sorry. that's just the way it is. It is better in this chapter. don't worry.
Goddess of the Moon: don't hurt me! I updated!
pheebe: yeppers i have it all writen to tell you the truth. might as well update.
Welder of the Elements: cool pen name. Yes great one! i shall write more! (i'm actually done with it. haha!)
striped-fire: Don't worry I am a girl. Also this is a double account. It is used by me and my friend and superior Eunae. We are both girls and we both write. We are also pretty good at telling who we are when we start a new fic. you should really check out her songfics and Fate has Led Us. (we wrote that one together. We also just started the sequal called Race Against Death.) Also I am not offended by being mistaken as a boy. It used to happen all the time in the first grade. I tend to think this is my mom's fault. She wanted me to get my hair cut really short cause she saw this really cute style. The hairdresser really messed it up (so i guess it was her fault too) but you can't really argue with your mother when your 6 and she is positive that you will have the "cutest hair ever" lol! Glad you like the fic also!
Morgan Athair: Now you shall see what happens!
nerd1933: yep. Immortals are like my fav books in the world. and really? Hilarious? Yay!
um: Here is more to make you happy! Uh, just call me stupid but does LMAO mean anything? I can't figure it out.
Girlfromtheshadows: Yeah, the ooc was sort of purpose ful but that sort of disapears. Glad you like it.
Narms Briton 44: yeah. I know it's ooc. i didn't know that drowning was ooc. thanks for telling me but (don't think i am selfish and am begging for reviews) why didn't you review Drowning and tell me your self? I am assuming this is for chapter 4 correct? well i'll look back at it and try and fix it in the future.
Pearli: I tried to get all the grammatical errors but alas! I missed some!
pinky; cute? hilarious? here's more to make you happy.
jamie lynn: sorry if this isn't soon enough. enjoy!
eunae: i don't want to talk to you. I hate your freakin guts!! Don't talk to me or even look at me again! lol! talk to you later kk?
Roherwen: I'm sorry but Numy is not available to snog your brains out on account of him snogging mine out at this moment. yes Numy! Don't stop! ahahahaha! here's more.
Liako: You are the first reviewer! There fore this chapter is dedicated to you! Oh and i'm almost positive that snogging is just kissing. I hope that helps! Also glad that you like it!
AHHHH that was a lot of reviews! you really know how to make a girl happy!
DISCLAIMER: Alas! I don't own any of tp's characters not even Numiar. but he does come over to my house regularly. (that's a lot more than he comes over to yours Roherwen!)
Daine gasped slightly and the mage groaned under his breath.
Damn all of this.
I don't think I can bare it. Him seeing me as a child. Just a stupid child. I shall be an old maid and watch him fool around with the court ladies…Actually I don't think he has had a new "girlfriend" in a while. But why would he ever glance in my direction? I can never have him.
Then his arm tightened around her. She gave a sidelong glance at his hand.
Did he just…? No! Of course not. Both walked on staring straight ahead. Neither dared turn their head.
This is going to stop.
I can't do this.
I am going to let go.
Yes, that's it! I shall let go.
On the count of three I'm going to let go.
Let go, Daine, that' what you're going to do.
Alright Numair…
Ready…
Mental preparation complete…
One…
Two…
Three... Their arms dropped to their sides at the same time.
That was close. She didn't even notice! Wait…does that mean she doesn't care?
He didn't notice! How could he not notice? Do I want him to notice? I honestly don't know.
They kept walking still not daring to turn their heads.
The mood definitely needs lightening. Look, at this! Rain, dark, cold, wet, awkward moments that we won't get into…
Because you're too scared. Mocked the sensible part of his brain. Unfortunately for Numair, that portion could sometimes be a very small one.
Yes, you're right. I am scared. Terrified actually and there's nothing I can do about it.
Yes there is. Tell her how you feel.
Yeah, I'll do that. That's exactly what I want. For her to think that the best she can do is an old man.
You're not an old man…Just older than her, that's all.
That's all? That's everything!
I think not. If there's love then there's everything.
But what if the love is only one way? What then? I'll look like a fool!
You won't know until you say something. You may be surprised.
I don't like surprises.
Coward.
Absolutely…
Horse lords…Talk about depressing. I could use a laugh. She wanted to push her aching heart away. She did a pretty good job, for the moment anyways.
Oooh! Idea! This will be great!
Daine stopped suddenly.
"Something wrong, Magelet?" Numair asked, concerned. He squinted through the rain to see Daine who seemed to be fascinated by something on the ground.
"Oh wow! Numair, you've got to see this!" Daine cried. The mages curiosity was sparked immediately. He joined his student, trying to hide his eagerness. He looked down.
"I don't see anything," he remarked bit disappointed.
"No, look," she pointed down at the swirling mud, "It's hard to see, get closer," Numair obliged.
The saddest part of all this is he is believing every word I say…she bit back a giggle.
What the hell is she talking about? I don't see anything!
Get a little closer…and…now! The wildmage grabbed her companion's head, pulling out the tie that kept it away from his face and tousling his semi neat hair.
"Ahh! What the?" Daine ran away from the stumbling Numair laughing.
Oh that was good.
No! My hair! She's going to get it now!
"Daine!" he yelled. His tie was in the mud, no use to him there and his hair was tangled.
"Yes, Numair?" she asked, still laughing. He straitened and looked around.
Where is she?! He found her, using a tree for support as she laughed.
Oh my Gods! I must remember this always. I must lock this away in my brain. That way, some evening years form now I can pull it up and have another good laugh.
I must forget this as soon as possible! The mage thought as he furiously stalked toward he wildmage.
No…not mine…She will never be mine. Daine had covered her face with her hands. Numair had no clue why.
It's not as if that hides the fact that she's laughing…AT ME! The mage reached the tree. He still stood out in the rain.
"Daine," he said sternly with his arms crossed. The girl beneath the tree still kept her face covered but had begun to take deep breaths to calm herself down.
It sounds as if she's hyperventilating.
Hahaha Ahaha ha aha ohhh my…the loser.I love him...
"Daine," deep breaths was his answer. "Daine?" breathing, 'Verilidaine Sarrasri! I am talking to you!" He snapped. The wild mage peeked thorough her fingers before promptly snapping them shut agaijn. She couldn't do this.
He just looks so stupid! Calm down. Calm down. She took one last shuddering breath before dragging her hands away. Her eyes traveled up and down his body and he shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot as if he could feel her gaze rolling over him. She loved what she saw.
His boots were slightly muddy despite the care he had given to keep them clean. His shirt squeezed him tightly because of the rain and his well muscled chest showed through. She moved to his face. His full lips, his perfect smile that, at the moment, was not showing.
Well, I suppose that's my fault.
I believe so.
Yeah, but that joke was classic.
Yes it was…
His face was newly shaven and his eyes. Those soft brown orbs that were so deep and…understanding yet also…commanding. Those eyes were not hard as his unsmiling mouth might suggest. They were soft. Well, not totally soft but she knew hat he wasn't really angry. Just…annoyed. Possibly upset. She knew that he didn't hate her.
As if he would hate me for what I did anyways.
I don't know…you know how much he loves his hair.
If only I could get him to love me…
She knew that he didn't hate her and that meant the world to her.
The rain beat steadily on his head. His eyelashes were bright because of water gathered there only to drip down to gather at the end of his long nose where once more it plinked down to the ground.
Then she moved to the hair and nearly lost control and bust out laughing again.
Numair's hair was never perfectly neat or straight and she liked that about him. It was always a little wild whether he wanted it so or not. But this. This…THIS. This was a-
Disaster area!
It stuck up at odd angles and was tangled and matted.
I did a good job of messing it up.
His bangs were plastered to his forehead. The glare and tone of voice only added to the hysteria.
"Do you find this funny?" he asked her dangerously. She bit her lip.
Don't say it Daine. Be strong! Strong I say! You will say no got it? No! Ready? Okay…
"Yes!" She screamed before doubling over to laugh.
So much for saying no…
The nerve of that girl! I doubt I look that hysterical. Then he caught sight of his reflection in a puddle.
Holy Mithros! What did she do to me?! I am going to get back at her. But how? Yes! Perfect plan! Ingenious if I do say so myself.
"Numair, I'm sorry but you look so dumb." Daine told him between giggles. She had covered up her face again.
"No, you're not sorry," he retorted.
"You're right! I'm not!" Numair laughed with her.
Uh oh… he's got a scheme. Gods have mercy.
She pulled her hands away again and eyed her lanky friend suspiciously.
'Why are you laughing?" she inquired.
You'll see.
"Well you see, Magelet, I have just realized that I am tall," he answered.
Where as you are short.
He's lost it.
Daine clapped her hands,
"Good job, Numair," she said brightly, 'you've finally realized the obvious. We all knew you could do it, although my money was on a later date,"
I am afraid of where he's going with this.
Be afraid, Magelet. Be very afraid.
"Let us have a lesson, shall we?"
Let's not and say we did. Daine didn't answer.
"As you can see, I am wet. This is because I am standing in the rain. You, on the other hand, are dry-" she just had to cut in.
"Hello! I'm wet too! She told him, indicating her wet garments and hair.
And he thinks I'm stupid?
Would you let me finish? For crying out loud, Daine! Be patient!
'I'm getting to that," he said calmly, ad if explaining something to a small child. Daine was less than happy about this.
Why that…! Who does he think he is? Still she said nothing though her hands closed into tight fists.
"Now then. You are wet because you were out in the rain. Now you are not in the rain. You are sheltered by this tree. But." Here he paused and glanced up at the overhanging branches, "It is still raining. The tree is merely sheltering you. I bet these leaves are mighty wet…" he trailed off and looked at her. He flashed a small smile.
Now Daine began to see where he was going with this.
He wouldn't dare! Would he? She shook her head. Numair nodded, his smile getting bigger.
Ha ha! This is fun. Lot's and lot's of fun!
She shook her head once more. He, again, nodded, smoothing his hair back in place.
"Numair, you wouldn't." she warned.
"Oh I would, Magelet." He answered her as he reached up.
I love being tall.
I hate how he's so tall!
"Don't do it, Numair," he didn't answer. Daine's gaze darted from side to side. She could make a run for it. She'd probably make it. Yet she couldn't move. Now her eyes were captivated by his.
I was beginning to dry out too.
He grasped a low hanging branch and pulled it down.
Hehehe.
"Don't you dare!" The mage pretended to examine the leaves on the branch.
"Nice leaves," he remarked casually, "seem to hold a lot of water,"
No! Don't do this!
"Numair, please! Don't!" She pleaded.
I can't believe I begged.
Did she just beg? Ah well.
"Sorry, but after what you did to me, you can't walk away unpunished,"
And five…four…three…two….one…fire! He let go. The branch shot upward and then zinged back down. A shower of cold rain drops dropped down upon the wildmage who gave a gasp when the cold water hit her.
"Numair Salmalin!" she screeched, "you had better run!"
yes Numy! run! hope you like it! Review!
