Wahoo! I'm back and writing again, sorry it took so long, but it shouldn't
from now on. Unless I get real busy or lazy or something. I just graduated
from high school a semester early, so I have about 6 months of free time
before I start college. Also, is it just me or can other people not access
my chapter 2 story? I wanted to see where I left off before I wrote chapter
3, but I couldn't find the 2nd

"Where is she?" Vidanric was barely able to conceal his rage. Who could blame him though? First being ordered about, then having powerful mages trying to take your love only to find out later that you almost lost her anyway.
Yeah, he was mad. "She's resting sir, just a slight bump on her forehead."
"She has a bump? Has she been healed? Bandaged? Where is-"
"My lord, rumor has it that the lady has suffered much worse then a bump and in very poor conditions."
"Don't humor me Ness."
"She's tougher then you think."
Vidanric glared at her, a glare that stated 'I am the boss, you are not.' Ness taking the hint backed off and bowed her head in a solemn manner.
"Sorry sir. She's fast asleep, and no she hasn't really received any medical attention, accept for some salve while she was unconscious."
"Thank you." Was all Vidanric said as he brushed past her and headed towards Mel's room.
"She's asleep." Ness said that last part quietly not caring much whether he heard or not. After all she knew that he'd probably go see here whether she was asleep or not.
********
Swirling images rushed around her as she stood barefooted on a hill. A small breezed passed and Mel shivered. She was clad in only a thin white gown. Images and people still circled around her, she heard lots of voices too. All this motion was making her sick.
"Stop!" She cried. All went silent and still. Glancing around she saw people, none of them moving. Vidanric was close but turned away. A group of cloaked and hooded men stood far off from anyone else. Unlike everyone else the group was still moving, talking in hushed whispers.
There was something else. Not knowing where or what. Mel sensed something watching her. Mel felt an aura of something hateful, and very evil. Confused and a little scared she turned to Vidanric again crying his name. Although he was still not moving she heard his voice say her name back. 'Mel.'
********
"Mel, wake up. Don't be scared." Her eyes flew wide open and she was breathing heavily. She shivered uncontrollably till Vidanric wrapped her in his arms holding her close.
He stayed like that for 5 minutes smoothing out her hair till she fell back to sleep. A slight smile formed on her lips and she lay content with her peaceful sleep.
Vidanric felt anything but peaceful. He had entered her room half an hour ago, applied some salve to her forehead and was just about to leave when he heard her moving. Turning around he had seen her toss and turn, emotions passing on her face. Emotions like confusion, sadness, and fear. She had whimpered and cringed for the longest time. All the while Vidanric had no idea what to do. He tried holding her still, but her head would move. He did all he could, comforted her to no end, but she would not wake up or stop crying. With nothing else he could do he had lowered his lips to hers whispering her name. It was then that she finally woke up.
'What is going on? Why can't she just be left alone? Why can't I do anything to stop it?' With a yawn and no answers, Vidanric slowly stood up and crept out of the room. Before his head hit the pillow that night he swore he'd protect Mel with all the power he had.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gee golly gosh. I never knew how contagious yawns were truly. I mean I know just the sight or sound of it can get almost everyone. But after typing in Vidanric's yawn I was overcome with one myself. I've done it 5 times up to this point. Well once again I thank you all for the reviews. Merry Christmas to all (it's still Christmas as I'm writing this), and to all a good night.
