Chapter Four: I don't want to known

……………

The sun broke through the heavy drapes and light sank into the once dark room. Dark violet bed curtains hung open, and lying in a large mass of pillows, blankets and silks, were two lovers. The handsome dark haired Prince and the violet/blue eyed Duchess. Elizabeth rolled over and looked at Jon.

What was wrong wit her? How could she let her self-fall in love? She sighed and kissed Jon's nose. She pushed back the covers and stepped onto the cold title floor and headed for the bathroom.

………………………

Alanna sat across for Jake he was reading the morning paper. She had to tell him Jon and Eliz spent the night together, but knowing him he was going to lose it, but she had to tell him. That the gods choose her to look after Jon, and not her and Jake, and that THEY were here to see Elizabeth back to Tortall. She was going to need their protection. Eliz if she didn't come? Would she look after her lover? To see him safe when she, Alanna wasn't around to.

……………………………

Jonathan woke up to find he was alone in the four-poster bed. With the sound of running water coming to his ears. Jon quietly got up and made the bed with all the pillows. He grabbed his bag and left the room, he closed the door quietly, and walked down the stairs went to the front door; put on his new skater shoes and opened the door, but then stopped. He heard to voices yelling at each other. He walked over to the door that was slightly opened to his left and listened.

"Jacob Willow, prince of Tyra. Are you telling me your denying your sister love because of Jonathan's past loves and way they were. I was one of those loves. Maybe the only one."

"Alanna I don't want to argue over this."

"Well your not running this time."

"Alanna, I can speak for my self you known." Jon slowly entered the room and saw Jake and Alanna standing in the emty room starring at him.

"Jon?" Alanna asked quizzing-ly at him.

"You stayed the night here?"

"Yes your highness I did. With Eliz."

"WHAT! How could you do that to her."

"Clam down, Jacob you known me well I would never hurt Elizabeth like that. We were just sleeping. If you don't mind I have to go now. So I'm sorry but I have to leave."

"STOP, as guardian of the young duchess. I for bid you to see her any more."

"Jacob you can't do that." Cried Alanna in utter rage now.

"Alanna it's best for both of them."

"How do you known what is best for them." She yelled at her husband.

She left by one of the side doors and walked up to Elizabeth's room to tell her the bad news. Jonathan stood in front of the Prince, his look was much to old for His age. He looked about late thirties when he was only 19. Jakes eyes were cold and stubborn, and he was not going to give in.

" I LOVE ELIZ " Yelled Jon in frustration.

"If you love her then leave her world, leave her alone to grow up for our worlds in Chaos. I known how hard this must be. But please if you love her as much as you say you do. Then just go now."

"You have your wish, your highness."

Prince Jonathan left dragging his feet as sadness swelled over him. He picked up his bag and opened the door. This time he walked thought it and closed it. Leaving the only person he truly loved behind.

"Jon! Where are you?" Elizabeth called out into the empty room.

Alanna stood outside the door dreading what she was just about to do. She knocked and a small voice told her to enter in side. Alanna walked in her face full of sadness and her mind trying to think of words. She shut the door and told Eliz to sit down.

'Why? I don't want to sit."

"Ok then, Eliz ummm… something's happened."

"What? What happened? Tell me Lanny."

"Your brother will not let you see Jon anymore. That's why he's not here."

"No, How COULD he. I love Jon. HOW COULD JACOB!"

Elizabeth screamed and fell to the floor. Alanna held Elizabeth telling her everything was going to be ok. Telling her cry, and to let out the pain. As Jacob stood out side the door and heard his sisters tears it brought one of his.

…………

Three months Later…

Elizabeth hadn't fully forgiven her brother for what he did but she was now talking to him. Only bits and pieces of conversations, Alanna had become a wonderful sister, and Jonathan was still at school they would talk about things and did labs together, but every time they were alone it was hard not to kiss him or touch his hair with her fingers.

Elizabeth couldn't take it any more, and she couldn't live with out Jon. She went driving; the night stars breaking out into the dark sky. Tears falling down her cheeks, She didn't see the light change as the transport truck came around the corner. The driver shot on the horn all Elizabeth saw was lights, and all she thought was this my time to go? The truck slammed into her with full force.

…………………

She opened her eyes to see Jonathan above her. Telling her to hold on she was going to be ok, as the paramedics lifted her into the Ambulance. Elizabeth saw the night sky and the stars were the last thing she saw. The shrines were blasting into the night, the red and blues lights changing back in forth as she was rushed to the hospital.

The doors flung open as the paramedics, with the doctors down the hall with Elizabeth on the stretcher. Fighting for her life, they went into emergency surgery to keep her alive. As this happened Elizabeth dreamed of life, love, time. Was she going to have time?

She flew over the earth then to a place she didn't known. Into a palace and a room she shouldn't have been in. Heard a conversation she shouldn't have.

"He's no anywhere in this world, my lord." Said a man with cat like grace and dark brown hair. His eyes cold, black and showed no emotion. His clothing was taken care of and well ironed.

"I know where he is. Alex." Said a voice from the shadows. This was the man of to much charm and grace. His eyes blue, his hair brown black, He had a small nose, and His grin was so evil it sent a shock down her spine and up into her thoughts.

" He Will not live! The Lioness and The Wise One. Will not save him." The Duke let out a deadly cold laugh that sent Elizabeth into another room, into another place. This place was a bar full of drunks and maids with flowers. There were two men sitting alone by a fire, and yet she felt herself being pulled by the force that had her toward them.

One looked exactly like Alanna, and the other older, in his mid-Thirties, with a messed nose, hazel eyes and he wore his hair in long dreads with a headscarf. The other the one that looked like Alanna had hair that was cut in log spikes with strikes of gold/red through it. He wore a mages rode of black and blue, and yet they spoke in hushed tones.

"Alanna and Jacob are in grave danger. George."

" I KNOWN." Yelled the man named George.

"Are they bringing back the duchess? The Prince? They aren't safe there alone." The young man a friend of Numair Spoke to him.

"Thom? Ye are you worried? We known a mage in Carthark brought the duke back. Plus I have sources that say he's in the palace. So ye keep an eye out young lord. He'll come after ye no doubt. So ye keep your eyes peeled and opened. We don't need ye dying to soon." George spoke his warning in very low and hushed whisper.

"Thanks George." Before Elizabeth could hear the rest she was pulled away. She yelled out into her dream to take her back she need to hear the rest, and also to see more of her brother in law and to get a feel for this George guy.

Alanna, Jacob and Jonathan talked to the doctors and they told them that she was stable, but she could not make it if she didn't wake up soon. Just then Elizabeth jolted up sending her charts and blood pleasure thought the roof. As the Doctors struggled to clam her, trying to clam everything.

All Elizabeth could say was mumble words; the same words each and everyone. Cold to the ears of any Tortallian, and Jonathan picked them up after listening and straining his ears while trying to pick them out. He pulled Alanna and Jacob aside and told them.

"Alex, The duke." He said.

Both Jake and Alanna looked at each other and nodded and told Jon why they were actually there on earth. When Elizabeth clamed and woke she told the three what she saw and what would it mean.

………

The sun shone into the small room. Which was complete white. The only sound was the bleep of the monitor, and Jonathan watched Elizabeth sleep. He felt it was his fault she was here. Jacob came into the room, and he saw Jon's scared face and new he must do.

"Jonathan?"

"Yes, Jake."

"You really love her don't you?"

"yes I do."

"Then I was wrong not to let you see her."

"What are you saying?"

"I want you to be with her because you make her happy. I have chosen to let you choose to not see her if you want."

As Jake left, He was at the doorway. When Jon called out.

"Thank you"

"Your welcome" and he was gone.

………

"Jon? Come sit please.'

"Umm I would rather stand."

"Oh," whispered Elizabeth

"Jake gave me permission to see you."

"That's great Jon, why do you look so sad?"

"Eliz I think it be safer if we were just friends right now."

"Jon you don't mean that do you?"

"I have to go."

"Jon don't go Please." Cried out Elizabeth.

Jonathan hated to hear her cry; he slid down the wall and put his head into his hands, and whispered

"I'm so sorry Eliz, so Sorry."
