Ch.4
The next morning Numair woke up before Daine. Which was quite strange because she usually woke with the animals at dawn.
He turned over onto his side so he could look at Daine. He was alarmed by what he saw. Her eyes were all swollen and red and she was crying in her sleep. It looked as if she had been doing so the entire night. This made him very nervous. (you know how guys get when girls cry. They get all weird and nervous lol)
He placed his hand on her cheek trying to sooth her and kissed her on the nose.
"Sweet? You're having a bad dream, wake up." He whispered in her ear gently.
When Daine opened her eyes, it only caused the tears to fall faster. She grasped Numair and held him in her arms while she sobbed.
"It's ok. You were just dreaming. It isn't real." Numair tried to console her and could feel her sobs lessen.
'It will be though" Daine thought to herself. She composed herself and apologized to Numair for acting so childish.
"You have nothing to apologize for! You have no control over your dreams."
Daine decided to get some more sleep while Numair went to teach his classes and meetings with the King and Queens advisors about preparation for the banquet.
Daine rolled over and felt Numair hesitantly kiss her on top of her head.
"I love you." She whispered as he walked out the door when he couldn't hear her.
****
Numair ended up canceling his class for the morning so he could talk to Alanna and Onua. He wanted to see what they thought of Daine's behavior. Maybe she had told them what was bothering her or maybe they noticed a change in the way she was acting.
The three of them met in Onua's chamber. Numair sat on the chair in front of an oak desk. Onua sat on the edge of her bed and Alanna sat in an arm chair that she had moved so that the three of them were in a triangle.
They could tell that Numair was very upset. He could never handle it when Daine was in pain.
"What's going on Numair? Has something happened?" Alanna asked with slight concern in her voice.
"That's the thing. I don't know. I came to ask you two if you noticed anything strange about Daine yesterday. I mean she spent the whole day with you two and she was acting fine two days ago. I'm just really concerened."
"She seemed fine to me" Onua said with a curious look on her face.
"How has she been acting?" Alanna inquired.
"Well I came home last night to find her sitting on the steps. She seemed very.....i don't know how to describe it. It felt as if she was afraid of something. I know that if it was something that was life threatening she would tell me. I woke up this morning before her and found her crying in her sleep. And I when I woke her up she held onto me like she was afraid to let me go and she was sobbing. She stopped crying and went back to sleep, but I'm still concerened." Numair sounded shocked and confused and hurt all at the same time.
"That does sound rather odd. Daine normally act like that." Onua said growing more concerned for her young friend. She remembered meeting her for the first time. How shy and introverted she was. Now she was different. She let her personality show through. She became confident and happy. She wasn't the type to let people see her sadness though.
"Do you want us to talk to her about it?" Alanna asked gently, knowing that her tall friend was very dedicated to the wild mage.
"Would you mind?"
"Of course not! She is important to us all Numair. We shall see what we can find out." Alanna replied calmly.
"I owe you two much gratitude. If not for you I would be lost." He replied with a grim smile.
Alanna patted her friend on the shoulder. "It's our pleasure. Now off with you Master Salamin. You have some classes to teach today and some meetings to get to."
******
Daine woke up at noon. She felt horrible. She knew that something was going to happen between her and Numair, but she didn't know what and didn't know how she knew. She needed to clear her mind.
She gathered up some clean clothes to change into and went down to the bathing hall. When she got there it was completely deserted. Everyone was doing work or preparing for the banquet. Daine slipped out of her clothes and into the warm soapy steamy water. Right away she felt one hundred percent better.
About and hour later, Daine was dressed and brushing her damp hair into a pony tail behind her head. She knew that Numair didn't have class right now, and she was determined to talk to him about what she was feeling and nothing was going to stop her.
****
Back in the clearing in the woods, the Colt and the Crow kept watch through a puddle of water that allowed them to see the People-hearted Two Legger's actions.
'She is afraid. We must call on the Fawn. He must begin his duties at once. It is only a minor problem, but non the less we must act swiftly" the Colt said.
'Of course' was all that the Crow replied and flew off into the night.
****
Daine began her determined march to Numair. She was afraid of what he would say to her. That she was only overreacting. But before she could get ten feet from her house, she stopped dead in her tracks. She felt a tickling sensation on the back of her neck that felt like the fawn's nose on the back of her hand. She knew that the fawn was near, and her thoughts were confirmed when she saw him walking on the path in front of her.
'Are you looking for me?' She asked it with her mind.
The fawn's only reply was to turn away from her and begin to trot away.
Daine wasn't about to let the fawn out of her sight for a second time. She started to walk after it at a fast pace.
About 25 minutes later, Daine was out of breath but was still on the fawn's trail. The fawn stopped moving right before the path back to her and Numair's house.
Daine turned around to see where the sound of voices were coming from, but when she faced the fawn again, it was gone.
"Daine!" she heard someone familiar call.
She turned around again to find Alanna and Onua walking up to her on the path.
"Alanna, Onua, what brings you to these neck of the woods?" She asked a little bit surprised to see her friends so soon. She expected them to be busy with preparations like everyone else.
"We wanted to see how you were feeling." Alanna said.
"Me? Why I'm feeling fine. But where are my manners! Come! Let's sit inside where it is more comfortable."
Daine led Alanna and Onua into the sitting room.
"We came to see how you were feeling because Numair came to us this morning." Onua said looking at Daine with nervous eyes.
"Oh. He did. I'm not very surprised. He must think I've gone crazy with unicorn fever." Daine said looking at the floor.
"He is merely concerned for you. What's wrong Daine? You can talk to us. Let us help" Alanna said her voice thick with concern.
"I-I'm not sure you can help. I don't even know what it is exactly that is upsetting me." Daine said a little afraid.
"Just start at the beginning" Onua spoke to Daine with patience and love.
Daine spoke of everything that she was feeling. After 20 minutes of consoling and comforting from Onua and Alanna, she felt better.
"I feel so ridiculous." Daine said.
"Don't! You may be right that you and Numair are about to experience a rough patch in your relationship. People with the Gift or magic sometimes feel things that are about to happen that will effect them severely. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It can help you prevent what is going to happen or make it less serious than it was originally going to be." Alanna explained.
"How do I tell Numair?" Daine asked with a shaky voice.
Onua walked over to Daine and gave her a hug. "You just leave that up to us. We shall knock some sense into him." She said with a wink trying to lighten the mood.
Onua and Alanna left soon after. They had some meetings to attend to before the Dinner Bell rang.

Back in the clearing in the woods far away that Fawn approached the Colt.
'Was my attempt successful?'
'It shall do for now' replied the Colt 'but our work is not done. We still have many corners to turn.'
