Chapter five: Light, Life, Keep apart.

Jonathan slowed his walk to a slow pace. Was it time to go back to Tortall? The young mage Numair never said how to get home, but he stopped and looked up at the lights of the hospital. Since his conversion with Eliz this morning he hid out in hospital; it was now about nine and dark. He looked up into one of the windows and saw Elizabeth. She stood their for a few minutes then turned and walked away, yet Jon lingered just a little to see a new figure standing in the window now. He began his long walk home, and about half way the clouds above him began to rumble. "Great" he thought. "This is just what I need to finish this day off, a whole whack of rain."

It began to pour, and I mean pour. Jon pulled up his hood, yet the rain still soaked through his sweater and on to his layers below. Under his wet white T-shirt were chiselled abs, and his piercing blue eyes full of wet soggy tears. His once spiked hair fell into his eyes and left him kind of blind, nor did he care what his hair was doing. All he could keep thinking of was Elizabeth, her smile, her laugh, and plus Her eyes, her temper and grace.

Gods he wished things were different, but they weren't and he was only going to bring her more pain if he stayed with her. He reached his house, pulled the wet key out of his pocket, put the key into the lock and turned it. Jon hated his small house now. It only reminded him of the emptiness in his life, but hey he couldn't complain he wanted an adventure and he was getting it.

He crossed the small front hall to the kitchen; he pulled out the butter form the fridge and the bread form the cupboard. Jon buttered the bread and headed into the living room. He started fire in the brick fireplace and collapsed on to the over stuffed leather couch and eat his butter bread. All Jonathan could think of was Elizabeth.

…………………………

Elizabeth cursed the morning sun for being so happy when she wanted to shoot the whole world, plus it didn't help that she had a weird Tortall dream again, and no one was here to hear it. She was going home today so she would tell them on the way, she once again saw the cat like grace man.

He was the one that haunted her dreams. (Like duke roger in Alanna's dreams.) This un-meet man was hers and she was ready to see him in person to talk to him, or fight him. Plus she wanted to go to Tortall but she knew her place was here. Maybe this was the best way for things to be right now.

As she packed her little amount of belongs and turned to walk out the door she saw a bright light out of the corner that looked like a beautiful woman, yet she was gone when Elizabeth turned to see the figure better.

God things are getting weird around here. She thought and she quietly slipped into the car, shut the door and they were off home to Willow Manor. She watched the city go by slower then it normally did, or she was quieter then normally and the ride was just showing it. She did notice or tune into her brother talking to her.

All she could think about was Jonathan, Her long lost prince. Jake opened the car door and helped her to her room to sleep that's the only place she wanted to be right now.

Elizabeth woke up to voices. She heard panicky voices, and then she heard Maddy scream. Maddy? How could Maddy be her? She leaped out of bed, grabbed a robe, ran out the door and down the marble stairs into the ballroom. Lying on the floor was Jonathan and Adam.

Adam was in bad shape but not as bad as her beloved Jon. Her brother was making makeshift bandages to stop the blood flow form both and Maddy was crying into her hands. Elizabeth just stood there; when Alanna came in with a man in his late forties, with Blonde hair, green eyes and he wore tunic and breeches. Elizabeth watched as he worked on the boys on the floor; His hands began to glow green as the cuts on each boy disappeared. Elizabeth got a weird feeling to look up and out the window and with that she screamed.
