Hey peeps! Last Chappie, YAY! K so I have CSAP's (Colorado Student Asessment Program) Ugh! this week and a really bad cold so this might be a lot worse than the other chappies. Sry. Without further adieu, my last chappie.

Numair sat on Spots looking thoroughly depressed. Alanna noticed this and rode over to him. "Hey lover boy!" She said, trying to cheer him up.

"Oh shut up Alanna, I'm not in the mood." Numair replied, rather sadly.

Alanna sighed, "Listen Numair, I know how you feel, she's my friend. Daine wouldn't want you to be like this." She said putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Besides, we're almost there. Look, I can see it from here." She added pointing into the distance where you could just see the outline of a small castle. Numair looked up saw it and started crying. "Now what's wrong?" Said Alanna getting pretty annoyed at his behavior.

"Just looking at it... who knows what... they are doing to her." He managed to say between sobs.

Then, Alanna started to fell bad for him. "I'm..." But she was cut off by the blowing of horns. They had been spotted! Suddenly everyone started kicking their horses into a gallop. Alanna let out a war cry as they all charged forward towards the army that was doing the same. When the armies met, no one noticed two people slipping away towards the palace.

No one noticed them slip down to the dungeons either. Except for the guards that were guarding the cells. "I'll hold them back." One whispered. "You get Daine." The other hesitated then nodded. She ran down the hall.

When she opened the door she couldn't believe what she saw. A very skinny Daine cowering in the corner. "Daine?" She asked.

At the sound of her name Daine straightened. "Onua?" She said with disbelief. She turned around and her eyes widened. "It is you!" She exclaimed and tried to run towards her for a hug. Unfortunately she was too weak to stand so Onua came to her. "Where's Numair? " She asked.

"Holding off the guards. He's probably killed them by now, but just in case stay here for a second." With that, she turned and walked out of the cell. When Onua walked out she noticed that the guards were still alive and that Numair was starting to pale. So, she snuck up on the guards and ran them through. "Thanks." Numair said weakly.

When Onua, Numair, and Daine got outside what they saw was a bloody mess. Horses and soldiers' bodies were strewn all over the field. Luckily. None of them seemed to belong to the Tortallan's side. When Alanna saw them, she ran over to them. "We're going to have to stay for the night. Too many men need healing." She looked at Daine, "her too. And Numair looks too wiped out to do anything." With that, she put one of Daines arms around her shoulder and helped her over to the fire. Onua and Numair followed. That night, Daine hardly got any sleep. She had something to decide. She decided in the middle of the night and finally got a good night sleep.

The next morning as everyone was getting ready to move out Daine stopped Numair. "Numair, can I talk to you? In private?" He nodded and they walked off into the woods. When the found a log to sit on Daine took a deep breath. "Listen Numair. This whole experience has taught me something important. You should always tell someone how you feel about them." She took another deep breath. "I love you Numair, I don't know how long I have, but I do know that I love you." She looked away hoping he didn't see the tear rolling down her cheek.

Suddenly she felt soft hands slide under her chin and pull her head to the other side. "I love you too." Numair said. Truth and sincerity heard clearly in her voice. Then. He kissed her passionately, yet sweetly. She returned the kiss and the world seemed to disappear. They were pulled out of their reverie by someone calling their names. "Be right there!" Numair answered back.

With that they walked back to camp holding hands. Many noticed this. As well as the little spring that was in their step. Now Daine was content, now she knew she was truly loved.
