Lonely hearts

Chapter Two

(Somewhere In The Woods)

"Hey it's not like this is a jogging marathon" Riven laughed when Musa started walking faster and faster until he was pretty much running to keep up with her.

Musa just ignored him and kept walking, slowing her pace a little, which she immediately regretted because it enabled him to start walking beside her.

"So…what's got you in a snit?" he asked conversationally.

"I am not in a snit" she growled glaring at him.

"Well your not entirely happy either" he pointed out smirking.

"If you don't like it you can just go and find the troll yourself" she said stopping in front of him and poking him in the chest.

He just laughed provoking him more, "Chill out, man what's got you so snitty?" he asked again.

"FINE! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?, BECAUSE YOU'RE AN AROGANT RUDE CONCEDDED JERK" she yelled and he winced when he saw tears form in her eyes, she took long deep breathes trying to calm down. Her hands in tight fists at her sides.

"Is this because of that Darcy chick, I was under a spell, how can I be blamed for that?" he asked incredulously.

"Because when you were under her spell you were nice" she whispered as she sunk down onto a near by log feeling exhausted.

Riven was utterly confused, he remembered what he was like when he was with Darcy, a total pansy. "Your angry cause I was nice?" he asked having to sit down himself.

(Stella and Brandon at the enchanted lake)

"I wonder how Riven and Musa are doing?" Stella said to Brandon as he helped her over mud in the swamp.

"You did it on purpose" Brandon accused cruelly, as he picked her up in his arms.

Stella blushed furiously, "I only gave them a push in the right direction" Stella excused herself.

"You will not play matchmaker" Brandon ordered and forced her to look at him.

She pouted but he knew she'd obey him.

(Musa and Riven at a break in the woods)

Musa sat down on a rock and looked far into the distance, "We aren't going to find them" Musa moaned as she pulled tiny twigs out of her hair.

"That's because you lead us the wrong way" Riven pointed out as he remembered her forcing him to follow her after she stomped off into the woods.

"I chose an alternative route, if you hadn't gotten me so mad I wouldn't have stomped off, so this is all actually your fault" she hissed at him and threw one of the twigs in her hand at him.

Before he could respond to what she said, the twig his him in the forehead and bounced off to land next to his feet.

He stood there, completely still, taken back by what she had just done, just as he was about to yell at her, he heard her laugh and all he cold do was stare at her.

"Lets keep going" he muttered in defeat and kept walking, all the while having a frown on his face.

(Ten minutes later)

Riven and Musa stood at the top of a cliff looking out over the forest, Musa couldn't stop shaking, she knew she could fly but this was to much, you couldn't even see the bottom of this cliff, it was just darkness.

""Ah so you're afraid of heights, never would have guessed" Riven smirked as he stood next to her at the edge. Musa inched her way backwards as rocks tumbled over the cliff and skited against the side.

Riven pretended he was accidentally off balance and lightly shoved Musa near the edge, Musa screeched and jumped back out of harms way. Evil eyeing Riven as she did so.

"What I tripped" he protested waving his hands in front of her as a sign of peace. "We weren't walking so how did you trip?" she asked but stopped midway between her question when she heard a large hollow crack that shook the ground below them.

As they looked down they noticed that there were large cracks in the cliff and felt it slowly sliding down into the darkness. "Hold on!" Riven yelled as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along down the cliff trying to escape the slope.

As Musa tried to keep up with him more of the cliff started caving under her feet, she looked up at Riven in time to have one last look at his eyes before she fell, but oddly enough even though he could have properly saved himself he ended up falling right along side her, she tried to change so she could fly but the rocks kept that impossible so instead she was embraced by Riven who seemed to be trying to use himself as a shield so she wouldn't be hit.

As she looked into Riven's eye while they fell she noticed something different about him, or maybe it was just the pain she saw in his eyes as he was pummelled by rocks that hit his back, she realised a second before her world went back that Riven wasn't the cruel guy she had thought, and she silently begged him to forgive her.
