Between2worlds- so you liked the last chapter. I rather liked it myself. I know it was short I hope this one isn't too short for you! Thank you for reviewing your, such a faithful reviewer I don't know what I would do without you!

Paige started to hear voices as her senses started to come back. She slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the face of George. His hazel eyes were worried then relieve as he saw her blue ones opening to greet the daylight.

"Finally your awake! We've been worried about you." George said in an even tone motioning to a boy sitting on the other side of the bed in which Paige lay. She looked over and found Liam smiling at her. She couldn't help herself but smile. She turned away slowly from him to draw her attention back to George who was not smiling as Liam was. Paige shook her head slightly and sat up the best she could with help from the men. Her head spun and dizziness took over her for a moment.

Then when she could see clearly again she spook, "What happened?" She asked not really remembering much, as to why she was in the infirmary with both George and Liam there watching over her. George looked deep into her eyes before responding.

"We're not really sure. I finally went looking for you after you didn't come back for a while. After a bit I found you in the practice courts sprawled out from fainting. I took you in to here and now your awake, but um, we can't find Eric anywhere. We were hoping you knew?" George said leaning forward with an easy kind of look. Suddenly flashes started to come back to her. The ball, the practice courts, Eric.

"Eric!" Paige half shouted looking straight ahead of her. She tried to get out of bed, but George put out and arm to stop her. She gasped as sat back down slowly holding her head for a sharp pain was rebounding through it. George looked hard at her again.

"What happened?" George said all the care-freeness gone from his voice. Paige looked with wide eyes to him and it was as if he could read her thoughts just by looking into her deep pools of blue. He nodded his head and stood.

Liam who was watching all this with fascination spook, "So, where is he?" Liam asked. Paige looked at him curiously. George saw this look and shook his head.

"I told Liam about you and Eric. I thought it would be best if he knew that his life was in danger it would be best for him and for you if he was also on his guard." George sat back down again and gazed ahead of himself in thought. Paige sighed and stared at Liam as he thought over all this. When he saw her looking he smiled.

"Wait so where is he?" Liam asked sitting back up straight again. Paige looked dazed ahead of herself again lost in thought.

"Gone. The tournament that comes every 100 years. He's gone off to join in it." Paige said tears welling up in her eyes, and about to spill over. Liam widened his eyes and stood at this. Paige could hear a small whistle escape from his lips. George beside Paige blew air through his nose in exasperation. Paige laid her head in her hands and silent tears went down her face. Liam came and sat beside her and tried to comfort her, but the memory of why Eric had left came back to her and she shrugged him off. Minuets went by in silence as everyone thought of ways to get him back. For they all knew that he couldn't do this. Anwar would know the instant he joined it and would for sure have his chance at Eric.

"So, what are we going to do?" Liam asked finally. Paige had the way she thought would work, but she was almost sure both men would object to it. George made no noise as he got up from the chair yet again.

"George, is there someone else to cover Liam?" Paige asked not looking up from her place concealed in her knees. Now there was shifting beside Paige, and she knew George was staring curiously at her. Now she drew her head up to fix her eyes on George.

" Lass, if your thinking about doing what I think your thinking about doing I wont let you." George said eyes digging into the very soul of Paige. There was not sound for a minuet as Paige took a breath to respond.

"Yes, George I am going to abandon Liam, and join the tournament." Paige said quietly hoping no one really heard her. Liam laughed softly from behind her.

"That's a really funny one." He came around to look at her face and when he saw it his smile fell into a frown.

"You have got to be kidding me, you'll die!" Liam half shouted. Paige looked at him with a 'thanks a lot look.' But she knew he was right.

"Liam I know I might die, but I'll die if Eric is lost." Paige said a new batch of tears brimming. Now Paige looked at George. He was smiling? Finally he sat back down and looked Paige straight in the eye.

"I know you have to do this, and I'm not going to stop you." George smiled again. Liam was about to say something, but Paige cut him off.

"Well, than Eric, forever isn't that long."

NOW to all people who are reading this and to my two faithful reviewers CSI Queen, and Between2Worlds I am dearly sorry. No I am more than dearly sorry I am overwhelmingly sorry that this chapter was so short! I feel so guilty that it is so short. I want to rip my own head off, but this is because I needed this conversation to all be in one chapter. Please do not stop reading if I have let you down with this chapter. I have let myself down. Please Review to me and tell me how awful I am, I would appreciate it. Thank you!
