A/N: It's been awhile I glad you guys liked the last chapter! Props to all of you who reviewed, cause everyone knows reviewing is hot!I am really excited about this one cause I think it's high time for Fred and Angelina to be reunited! And yes the title was taken from the song by Switchfoot. Oh and just a warning there is a whole lot of angsty fluff in this chapter as well as fight scenes.

Chapter 6: Dare You To Move

"So this is how it's going to end?" Fred thought as he watched the larger of the two guards lift his sword and begin sharpening it on a nearby stone, as the second guard tightened his grip around Fred's wrists shoving his face into the floor, Fred began to think….

'I can see the Daily Prophet headline now, a story done by Rita Skeeter no less, Fred Weasley, son of Mr. And Mrs. Arthur Weasley, 6'4,165 lbs., died last week on the remote island of Tangati minor after angering the islands' high priestess who was apparently having her time of the month and reports that she would not have given the order to kill Mr. Weasley if he had not been so audacious as to accidentally take a nap in her hammock, and in doing so throwing off the balance on which her world had previously resided.' Fred thought for a few more moments about this and quickly decided that he would much rather see his and Angelina's names in the nuptials section of the prophet so he quickly made up a plan.

"You there! You there, Muggle!" he yelled to the guard with the sword

"What did you call me?" The guard said lowering his sword and walking towards his captive 'good' thought Fred he's not a wizard

"You heard me, and you… behind me wanna' loosen that grip it's starting to get a bit uncomfortable"

"You don't really think I'm that stupid, do you?" Said the other guard

"Yes actually, I do. Fred said looking up at his captors" it was then that the smaller of the two decided that he had, had enough of the strangers sharp remarks and kicked him in the stomach.

It was the opportunity Fred was waiting for, unbeknownst to the guards Fred had braced himself for the hit and while he was pretending to writhe in pain the guard holding his hands loosened his grip, to watch his 'suffering', it only took about ten seconds but Fred's wand was out and before the smaller guard could do a thing to protect himself Fred had shouted a stunning spell at him and he was now lying motionless on the floor.

The larger of the two guards, thinking that Fred had killed his comrade; ran at him with an enraged look on his face, when he threw a high right hook, Fred was ready for it and crouched to the ground, and used a low lying backward spin kick to knock his attacker off balance when the guard hit the floor Fred shouted the stunning spell at him, got off the floor and ran for the door.

Not knowing his way around the palace Fred quickly retraced his steps going back down the long hall way, past the murals, back into the room Mundavi had shown him back down the slanted hallways, and finally back to the palace's front door, knowing that the other guards would be up by now and sounding the alarm Fred decided that running out the front door and down to the guarded gates might not be such a good idea, so what if Bilal knew that he was the Dalo, his word alone might not be enough to sway the other guards. So Fred changed his course after running around the right facing hall of the palace's lower floor, he found an exit that led out into the central courtyard, in front of him he could see the large pool that Mundavi had told him about, he could also see one of the bungalows about 20 feet in front of him and to the left, without another thought Fred ran towards the structure and tried to open the door.

"Man, it's locked… I don't have time for this, alohamora." He said, pushing the door open. With out thinking he found the steps and headed to the upper level of the home, once on the second floor he slowly turned the knob of the door in front of him pushed it open and walked in, his eyes had just begun to scan what seemed to be a bedroom for a hiding place when someone used the exact same spin kick on him that he had used on the guard, the next thing he knew he was on the ground and a rather gorgeous female was sitting straddle legged on top of him.

She was wearing a white one shoulder top that was made out of the same sari fabric he had seen in the palace that stopped about two inches above her belly button, she had on a pair of loose fitting fine spun cotton pajama pants sitting low on her hips, her hair was medium length but was corn rowed back from her forehead; the rest had been straightened and was in a floppy bun on the top of her head, and to top it all off she was holding the blunt end of a stick fighting rod in his face, it took Fred a moment to focus, so it was the woman who spoke first…

"I don't know what you think your doing barging into my house like that but…" and then she stopped, and for a moment she was at a loss for words, he waited calmly taking her beauty in, after drawing a breath to calm his nerves it was then that he spoke…

"I've missed you." He said plainly, staring her in the face "I wrote to you, but I got no letters back" she dropped the rod and it rolled away on the floor "I did tracing spells, but none could find you" she sat back on her haunches "I formed search parties, I went to all of your old hangouts, I even went to your parents house but no one could, or would tell me anything." She raised a hand to her mouth "I challenged Dumbledore for any information as to your whereabouts." Tears began to roll down her dark brown cheeks "and then after two years of constantly trying and failing, it stopped, I just want you to know I never quit trying, I never gave up on you, I just… it just, I wasn't eating, I wasn't sleeping, I was dying without you, and then one day I just resigned myself to the loneliness." She started to move from her place on his waist but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down…

"I tried everything and I just couldn't find you, it was like being a little kid again and getting lost on a street corner, everyway you look there are people, but none of them are who your looking for, and all you can feel is confused, and alone, and no one seems to want to help you find your way because they're all to busy trying to find theirs." He said now looking up at the ceiling his tears running out the sides of his eyes. "And then when I was seriously considering ending it all, I found out where you were, and I came, I came, and I found you, and now I'm with you and I can't even bring myself to touch you for too long because I'm afraid, that if I do you'll disappear, and I'll never find you again, and I'm so sorry for taking so long, please forgive me." He said wanting to hug her to himself but settling on letting his hands cover his eyes

After a few moments of silence it was her turn to speak

"Why do ask you for forgiveness when I am the one who has committed a sin?" she said "I have every single bit of parchment you sent me, parcels, return owl receipts; everything, but you have to know I wasn't allowed to come to you, I would have come, I swear my life, my kingdom on it but, I couldn't, they wouldn't let me, but then my advisor told me of a prophecy that would bring us together again, and he told me that if I went in search of you that, I would start a series of events that would ultimately lead to your demise. I would rather die a horrible death each night only to be resurrected and killed again the following day than live for one moment knowing that my actions caused your death, it may sound a little bit melodramatic but, killing you would be worse than killing myself. I knew that one day I would have to leave you but I let myself love you anyway, I tried not to but, I gave in and sometimes I regret that choice." She was now standing in front of one of the large bedroom windows clutching her arms to herself trying to end her shivering as she allowed the tears to fall freely down her face.

In an instant he was standing behind her with his hand raised as if he wanted to pull her to him, instead he stood there still unsure of himself

"You regret us? What we had?" He said looking down at the floor, running a hand through his hair

"No, Fred not us!" she said turning to face him "I regret bringing you into this."

"What! You think I don't want us to have our own personal island?" he said trying desperately to bring some levity to the situation.

She smiled for a moment, and he paused to quickly capture joy in her face, as it quickly faded away.

"Fred please, why won't you touch me?" she said not turning to face him

"I can't you'll go away" he said his voice breaking

"I swear I won't, I swear it." She said turning to face him, pulling his chest to her face

"You shouldn't swear Lina, cause it means you promise forever, but don't worry I'll take you up on that promise." And with that he closed the remaining distance between them and kissed her with all that he had.

In that one sweet kiss, all apprehension between the two had been resolved; they had forgiven each other, as well as themselves for how cruel fate had decided to be to them. They continued to kiss and fondle each other, just reveling in each others arms for quite some time afterwards, until they were interrupted by a small voice…

"Dala ( beloved princess) Lina, Dala Lina?" said the little voice as it pushed open the door to the bungalow, walked quietly up the stairs and pushed open the partially opened bedroom door, after seeing Fred pick Angelina up prince charming style and the kiss her full on the lips the, child began to giggle insanely and point " Ooooo. I'm telling Au-ti (mommy), Lina loves abrafo (Angelina Loves the troublemaker)"

"Tavi! Were you spying on us?" she said looking at the girl upside down from her position in Fred's arms

"No mistress, I was told to tell you that my Ba-ti has issued a welcome feast for the Dalo Abrafo, and my Au-ti is coming to help you dress for the occasion…"

"Well that's very good Tavi but…" Angelina started but was interrupted by the little girl who stomped her foot, placed her hands on her hips and said

"I'm not finished yet!"

"Oh, I am sorry Tavi, by all means please finish." Angelina said sincerely, making Fred chuckle as he placed her feet gently back on the floor

"AND," she said pointedly as if waiting for further interruption, "I'm supposed to take Dalo Abrafo to the bathing house, Ba-ti says he's supposed to be clean before he can come into our circle." She said smiling

"Alright then, if Mundavi says so, Fred you heard the girl you've got to go get ready and so do I." She said as Fred gave her a very childish 'but why' look

"But Lina, I thought we could, you know… have a little time to ourselves first?" he was giving her puppy dog eyes, it was having a serious effect of her but she wasn't giving in, she wanted nothing more than to give into her temptation but there was more to her refusal than Fred could have known, so strengthening herself with new resolve she said

"Fred seriously go with the girl." thusly ending the argument

"Alright." He said the disappointment more than evident on in his voice, with a brief glance at Angelina he knew there was no use in pressing the matter so he turned to the child and said….

"Hey Tavi you ready to take me to that bathing house or what?" he said flashing the little girl a smile

"Yes Dalo!" she said grabbing his hand and pulling him out the door "Now you go downstairs and wait I'll be right down ok?" she said smiling brightly

"What ever you say Tavi my lady." he said saluting her and winking at Angelina as he began walking back down the steps and out the door, he was in such a good mood that he had walked all the way back out into the court yard turned toward the palace and was three feet from the steps before they closed in on him…

He struggled against their ropes and binding but it was no use there was no way that he could reach his wand and he could feel himself falling to the ground. After a spine jarring hit to the earth Fred's eyes began to focus on the scene unfolding in front of him. Six of the palace guards were crowded around him in a circle excluding the three holding him down to the ground, after ensuring that he was secured and could not escape the three manning his ropes set him up on his knees and the head guard began to speak…

"You are the one, that has caused all the trouble in the palace today are you not?" The lead guard said staring at Fred

"If you mean almost getting my head lopped off for taking a nap trouble then yes, I've been the source of quite a bit of it." Fred said staring back into the man's eyes

"You do know then that the high priestess has ordered your excecution?"

"You mean that stuffy broad with the personal space issues, yeah she ordered my excecution." Fred said his eyes beginning to squint with anger

"Well then I am sorry, abrafo but you will have to be excecuted." He said an air of sorrow and finality in his voice

"Well kill me if you want, but you might not want to kill me." Fred said trying to think of a plan.

"Why would we not want to kill you?"

"Because for all you know I could be the next Dalo!" he said having to use his new found title as a last resort, he began to think things were changing for the better when the rest of the men began to whisper amongst themselves at his claim

"You couldn't be… Initoyo wouldn't kill the…" he started but, became frustrated and set the conversation going in a new direction "Enough of this idle chit chat, it is time for your execution since Keita (worshiper) and Lusala (whip) were supposed to end your life but are currently guarding the east gate, I Lutalo (lead warrior) will send you to the next life myself." He said unsheathing a long pre sharpened sword, as his fellow guards stood waiting to see the beheading

"Any last words?" Lutalo asked

"Tell Angelina that I loved her, and even in death that will not change." Fred said looking his executioner dead in the eye

"Angelina? Oh you mean the Amandala, I will bring your message to her, fortunately for her , she will not have to hear you scream."

" Scream? Me? I will do nothing of the sort… bring it on Lutalo" Fred said Weasley pride fueling his words

"You are brave man, you would have made a good warrior, but all living things must die sometime."

Fred heard Lutalo raise his sword high above his head and the tell tale swoosh as he swung down, he braced him self for the oncoming blow but when nothing came he opened his eyes and felt the hands and ropes that had once been gripping him release, rubbing his wrists he got up and saw Mundavi standing across from him his staff out stretched, the guards lying in a heap across the courtyard, carrying expressions of wonder as to how they got in such a position, Fred was about to speak a word of thanks when Mundavi cut in.

"There is no need to thank me Fred, for when your moment comes you will repay your debt to me a hundred times over, secondly you Lutalo as well as the rest of your guards, should know by now that no one but the Amandala may issue the order of death to a human being be he or she magic or muggle. So tell me Fred what did you do to cause all this trouble?" Mundavi asked his face serious

"Well, to tell you the truth, I took a nap. I took a nap and that's why all of this mess occurred." He said looking confused and relieved at Mundavi

"Hmm, interesting, may I ask who ordered your death?" he said his face stiffening further

"That bloody priestess, inini-whatever did, I tricked the gaurds escaped and ran to the bungalows to find a hiding spot that's when I ran into Angelina and lets say I got a little…. We got a little sidetracked, then Tavi walked in and made me leave because apparently you want me to take a bath before I take part in some ceremony, and I'm tired, and Sleepy, I want my girlfriend, I want to stop being chased, Im hungry, thirsty and right about now that bath sounds pretty nice." Fred said in one breath his exhaustion evident in his face

"Initoyo, you say… I will be bringing this up with the tribal counsel, but you have expressed your feelings and you will be well tended to, go with tavi to the bathing house and clean up, then I'll have my wife take you to your quarters so you may rest I'll have some of the servants get you when it is time for the celebration."

"Thank you so much if it weren't for you I'd be dead, I owe you so much, and I can't think of a…"

"Fred you will repay me in full when the time comes, now..." he said pausing as if listening to the wind " I believe it's time for your bath. Go with Tavi and relax and all will be taken care of " Mundavi said a smile finally breaking through his cold yet thoughtful expression and with a swish of his cloak he was gone and in his stead stood Tavi her hand out stretched and her face bright.

Placing his hand in hers the two walked towards the bath house, Fred laden with hundreds of new questions, and Tavi simply appeased for the moment because she had finally gotten to do her job.
