My dear reviewers where are you?

Eric and Paige spun around to face Anwar. He leaned against the wall looking smug. He rebounded himself off the wall and started to walk towards them.

"It's strange, the sea. It tumbles and splashes about. If it wants a certain fish to go a certain way it just changes it's current and carries the thing away." He propped his elbows on the sea wall and leaned on them. Eric took a step in front of Paige. There was a few quiet moments before Eric got brave and talked.

"What are you getting at?" Eric asked his tone and voice grim. Anwar laughed softly then swung himself up upon the ledge. His eyes glittered in the moonlight. He was silent for a long time. Then he at last turned to Eric and Paige who where waiting as if on the edge of their seats for an answer.

"I'm like the sea, I always get what I want." And without any warning he had jumped off the ledge and was falling down, down, down. Eric and Paige looked over the edge. Why would he do such a thing? He would kill himself. Though this kind of fall usually killed someone, Eric and Paige witnessed him sneaking off into the woods perfectly unharmed.

After a bit of sitting and staring in disbelief to where Anwar had entered the woods Paige shook her head. What had he meant by he always got what he wanted? What was is it that he wanted? Paige could only guess at this. She turned to Eric who also seemed to be deep in thought. His hazel eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder. Paige looked away from him, and near the doorway saw George watching them with interest. Without hesitation Paige went to go join him. He to had hazel eyes, Paige noticed. She met his gaze eagerly.

"Got an assignment for me?" She asked knowing that George had not seen the whole thing and had just shown up there a minuet before. George smiled recognizing the tone of voice from his own daughter, Aly. He pondered for a minuet his answer.

"Yes, come with me and I suppose I can tell you about it before morning." George motioned to her with a smile. Eric who had been listening followed. Paige tried to get him to go away but he demanded to hear of what she was to do before she did it. Paige finally just gave up and let him listen. In just a bit they found themselves sitting in big cushion chairs by a roaring fire, each sipping hot tea. Paige closed her eyes and smelled the spices evaporate out of the tea with the steam. George observed her do this, and chuckled.

"Your assignment is to become what you truly are and watch over the Prince Liam. For I got tip the other day that someone wants to kill him for unknown reasons. So you will live at the palace and keep an eye on Liam." George finished and smiled to the look on both Eric and Paige's faces. Eric sat back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair. Paige just stared in disbelief at George.

"You want me to be a court Lady?" She exclaimed widening her eyes. George nodded and kept his gaze even. Paige sat back also. She let her head bang against the back of the chair. Why this job wasn't there something else she could do?

"Isn't there something more useful I could do? Like go search for the person who wants Prince Liam, then give him his unexpected end?" Paige tried desperately, but George held firm to his decision. Paige wrinkled her nose at him and left in a huff. Eric had been silent the whole time, but Paige knew he had disagreed. She found a servant who showed her to a room. She laid on the bed thinking of what had happened over the last hour or so. So many things and yet it was in such a short of time. She looked around the room she was in trying to get her mind off of her assignment. She found her clothes and everything she had brought sitting in the corner. Who had brought them from the inn, she wondered looking through them. She found nothing missing just a note. She opened it up and it read:

By the time you read this I shall be long gone off to a destination I cannot tell you of. But I will think of you every night and day and pray to the Goddess for you health.

Signed, I always get what I want.

Paige looked up from the letter and then back down to re-read it through four more times. Finally, she laid down on her bed to ponder it. It was sent obviously by Anwar, but why did he say 'I will think of you every night and day…' suddenly Paige understood what he had been talking about out of the terrace. He said he always got what he wanted; he had said that because he wanted Paige. She gasped as the realization dawned on her. She raced from the room and found a servant and quickly asked him to show her to Eric's room. The servant showed Paige to Eric's room. Without knocking Paige burst through his door. Eric looked up as soon as Paige entered; he had been reading a book on his bed.

"What is it?" He asked standing. Paige without speaking handed him the note and saw him read it though several times also. When he looked up his face showed horror. "Does it mean what I think it means?" He asked after a few minuets. Paige nodded knowing he had realized it too. Finally Eric looked back up and met Paige's eyes.

"You must change. Like dye your hair, make it curly. I don't know change somehow." Eric thumped down on his bed. He sighed several times. Paige went over and sat opposite him. Then she knew what she had to do. She had to leave for the palace that night. She had to dye her hair change anyway she could. She lifted herself form her chair and Eric came to a sitting postion.

"Your right Eric. I must change, and leave. I'll see you sometime in forever." Paige said now her turn to say it instead of him. Eric smiled weakly. HE had been through so much with Paige he was going to miss her.

"That doesn't make since." Eric said saying what she usually picked as her line. Paige didn't smile she just started for the door and when she was at it she turned around one last time.

"It means I shall see you again, weather it be tomorrow or the next day or years from now I shall see you again." Then like, that, she was gone out the door getting ready for something she should never have to do, but like her parents she couldn't help herself from spying it was her love, but she hoped she did not meet the same end as them.
