Hey guys so sorry for the delay. I have 2wks of school left and the professors are really coming down on us. Plus my word program decided to be a butthead so I haven't been able to work on it. Anyways thanks for the reviews I really appreciate them.
White-Witch-Sakura – I like the idea but I won't tell you if I used it or not. You'll have to find out by reading.
Once again I'd like to say I don't own anyone but Shealyn and Tanyc. I hope you enjoy!
I froze looking at him, my mind completely blank. His eyes were filled with hope and longing as he approached me. He stopped in front of me taking my hands into his, his eyes looked deeply into mine causing me to shiver.
"I was looking for you. I have been meaning to tell you something." His voice was somewhat husky and it scared me.
He cleared his throat and smiled nervously. "Over the past few years I have watched you grow into a beautiful young woman. I am still entranced at how much you have grown. It has been on my mind for some time now."
"Get to the point Tanyc." I said impatiently.
Tanyc looked a little taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure.
"Shealyn…." He stammered. "… I wish to court you."
Inwardly I groaned. I really didn't want to hear that from him. My eyes wandered away from his face looking around as I scrambled for the words I was looking for to tell him to hit the road.
Pulling my hands out of his I looked up at him sternly. "Tanyc, I don't have feelings for you and I never will. Besides I feel that I am too young to become serious with any man."
Tanyc looked crestfallen as the words left my mouth. He looked away biting his lower lip and I could have sworn that he was fighting back tears. It hurt me to know how much damage I had done to him emotionally but I had to tell him the god's honest truth about how I felt.
"Tanyc….. I'm sorry…."
He turned on me so quickly I didn't see it coming. "He was right." He seethed. "Magneto told me that you would turn me down."
My eyes widened in horror as Tanyc's words sunk in. He was working for Magneto and I had no clue. With an evil glint in his eyes Tanyc approached me taking hold of my arm. Panic rose inside me but I dared not show Tanyc. In one swift movement I twisted out of his iron grasp and got into my battle mode.
"Since you won't come willingly I will have to take you by force." He said darkly unsheathing his sword.
I reached down to my waist but soon realized I had left my sword in my room. Guess I'll have to resort to my mutation. I thought as I concentrated on bringing the lightning to my fingertips.
"You won't take me that easily Tanyc." I spat creating a small ball of lightning in my hand.
With an angered cry Tanyc raised his sword and ran at me, lashing at me furiously. I easily sidestepped him shaking my head. "I thought they teach you not to attack in anger." I said dryly.
Tanyc's face turned crimson as he lunged at me again. This time however I fought back. I threw a ball of lightning at his chest causing him to fly backwards on the ground. In the distance I could here shouts as the guards came running.
"The king will banish you Tanyc, he won't take too kindly to the fact you attacked his family." I said standing over him.
Tanyc rose shakily to his feet and attacked once more. I caught his wrist in my hands and used all my strength to push it back away from my body. I felt rather then saw people surround us weapons trained. I gave him a small blast which caused him to stumble backwards.
"Guards take him into custody." Aragorn's angry voice said from behind me.
As the guards pulled Tanyc to his feet and disarmed him I turned around looking up at Aragorn with relief.
"Did he hurt you Shealyn?" He asked his voice softening as he placed his hands on my shoulders.
I shook my head wrapping my arms around him. He tightened his grip on me and whispered soothingly in elvish.
"How touching…" I froze hearing the voice and turned around.
Coming down from the sky was Magneto himself. With one movement of his hand everyone's swords soared through the air towards him. As he touched the ground he smirked coldly at me.
"My, my Lightning we meet again." He drawled. "Ah yes, you must be King Ellessar." He said turning to Aragorn.
A hard look appeared on Aragorn's face. "I order you to leave."
"Ah but my lord I have more power over you." Magneto put his index and middle finger to his ear and whispered. "Cable come out of hiding will you please."
I turned towards the shadowy corner in which I saw movement. Cable slowly appeared dragging someone bound and gagged with him. My eyes widened slightly seeing that Cable's captive was none other then Legolas.
"Let him go Magneto." I ordered creating another ball of lightning.
"And why should I do that?" Magneto drawled. "Tell you what. How about a trade?"
I looked back at Aragorn and turned towards Magneto again. "Alright Magneto, me for the elf." I said.
Silently he nodded as I ignored the look I was getting from Legolas' wide eyes. I knew I had to do it to save him.
Haltingly I stepped forward. "Let him go Magneto. You have your deal."
Magneto nodded his head towards Cable who released Legolas.
"Don't do this mellon nin." Legolas whispered frantically.
I shook my head and pulled Legolas' hands off my shoulders. "I must do this Legolas." I whispered.
With one more look over my shoulder I gave Aragorn a reassuring smile as I stepped in front of Magneto.
"Come Cable." Magneto said grabbing my arm. "It is time to go home."
Cable came to stand next to Magneto who put his hand on the time traveler's shoulder and pulled me closer to him as Cable punched in the coordinates. I looked sadly at Aragorn and Legolas as a low hum began to emit from Cable's device.
"We're out of here in 3…2….1" Things began to spin and I could here someone cry out and a hand grab my other arm.
The whirling and spinning didn't seem to want to end. I kept my eyes tightly shut afraid of what I might see if I opened them. All of a sudden I felt my body collide with hard ground and everything went black…
TBC…R&R!
