A/N: Hi all, this is just a little something that I thought of awhile back, but never really had the time to start. Though I don't have much time now either -'' stupid me. Oh well. Updates will be VERY slow seeing as my grades take top priority (my parents would kill me). So try to bare with me ok? If you just get plain sick of waiting, I'll understand. Flame me if you must, I'm cool with it, in fact my house is too cool as it is. shrugs Great life I have, don't cha think? Lol. Anywayz…enough with the blabbering! Tell me what you guys think! And yes, I know the title sucks, I'm working on it ok!
On with the Fic!
Disclaimer: No, sadly, I do not own any of the characters in this fic, but they do belong to someone who is as brilliant as I am. Lol, snort I wish. Alas, I can only lay claim to the plot.
This fic is set after the Immortals war and just before the Scanran War.
Broken Heart Chapter One PrologueShe felt as though she were floating on air. Numair had proposed! Was it just a dream? Or maybe it was her love-induced brain playing tricks on her mind? No. It couldn't be. How could she just imagine the way his lips felt on hers? Indeed, it must have been real.
Looking down she gently fingered the engagement ring on her left hand, admiring the way the diamonds and sapphires glittered in the sun. Grinning, she thought back to just a few hours ago when Numair had given the beautiful ring to her. He had told her that the sapphires had taken second place to her 'brilliant' eyes.
She grinned, so widely that passersby probably thought she was fair crazy, but she didn't mind one bit. She giggled at her husband to be, he was such a flatterer!
It was just before dawn when she had woken up. She had struggled in vain to get out from underneath her lover's limp body, but he was simply much too heavy! She snickered; he probably wouldn't be too pleased if she told him that. Sighing with exasperation she had reverted to tickling him instead. What she got for her efforts was a very much vexed lover, glaring at her from across the room on their bed after she had slipped out from under him. She laughed aloud, remembering the expression on his face.
Smiling happily she ran to the stables to greet her horse friends and tell them the good news. Wait till they heard she was engaged!
At an inn near the palace…How could he? The fool, it wasn't in his place to…to cast her aside! She stated when her relationships ended, not the other way around. She had never lost any of her love interests to any one! Never before! Never had she ever received competition for a man's heart. She had always won, always the one chosen over the other female who dared to take her man. Who cared if she later left him? He should feel grateful that she had even let him grace her bed. She had never lost any man to the hands of another, that is, until she came along.
The little bitch had the gall to take away her man. Just when she was sure that she had him in her grasp and he was about to propose, the little snake had gotten in the way. Numair was hers. His power was hers alone to do with as she wished, and no little snipe was going to take that power away from her!
After she had gone to all the trouble of coming to Tortall to be with her beloved, she was just supposed to let that vixen take away her man? Ha!
She smiled viciously, oh she knew how women like Daine were. They seduced men to gain power, fortune, and status, and once they had it, they would dispose of the male. She was sure that Daine was only after Numair's power and influence, and she'd be damned if she let the bitch get away with it. She grinned. It was time to have a little talk with Numair…she must warn him.
TBC…
