Well, that seemed to have been enormously successful! Thank you all so much! Unfortunately, that was the only chapter that there will be.
Ha-ha! Just kidding! Got you didn't I? Ok, so I got a suggestion to do the next chapter from Daine's point of view. So here it goes, I hope you all like this chapter as much as the first.
You Give Love A Bad Name
Chapter Two: Waking Up
The grey eyes fluttered opened, and got a view of a ceiling, a hallway in the castle it looked like. Daine tried to sit up, and immediately felt a dull pain in her head. She tried to remember how she had got there, but all she could remember was a foggy haze.
She wondered where Numair was, she had no idea what time it was, but thought it might have been a while since she had apparently passed out. She slowly and carefully got to her feet, and walked to their rooms. When she got there, she knocked on the door. When there wasn't an answer, she was slightly concerned. She reasoned, however, that like usual Numair was probably in his workroom working on some spell or another and couldn't hear her.
She opened the door, and walked inside. The door to Numair's workroom was opened. 'Strange,' thought Daine.
"Numair!" She called. She looked around the rooms for him, but he wasn't there. She looked around the castle asking if anyone had seen him. A boy told her that he had seen "Master Numair," as he called him, walking out to the stables. Daine thanked him, and hurried towards the stables.
Numair wasn't there, so she checked Spots' stall. The horse, and his saddle and other riding equipment was gone, which must have meant that Numair had gone somewhere on Spots. 'But where would he go?' Daine asked herself. Just then, she was struck with an idea. 'The tower! Why didn't I think of it before?'
Daine went to Cloud's stall, saddled her up, and started riding. When she finally got to the tower, she was exhausted and night had fallen. She got off of Cloud, unsaddled her, and gave her some food and water. She then went into the tower. She knocked on the door. A minute passed, and then came an answer.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" bellowed Numair from the other side of the door. Daine wondered why he was so mad, but figured that when he knew it was her, he calm down.
"Numair, it's me," She said. She heard a heavy weight fall against the door, and a boom of a large fist hitting the door.
"Numair, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Come to torture me again? Come to shoot an arrow through my heart again, being the perfect shot that you are? Or maybe, you've come to be completely certain that you broke my heart the first time, and if you hadn't, finish the job off? So, Daine, which one is it?" Daine's mouth went slack, her eyes wide opened. She had never heard him say her name with such hate, it was like he loathed the very sound of it, and was disgusted by her entire being.
"Numair," she said. "Let me in." There was no please, there was no shyness, a command; firm and clear.
The door creaked opened, but Numair was not there. She heard a door slam up the stairs, and knew that it was their room. She walked up the stairs, and to the door. She opened it, and saw Numair, lying on the floor, shaking. Crying she realized.
Daine walked over to him, bent down and was about to brush his hair away from his face, when he said, "Don't touch me. Why are you even here haven't you done enough to me?"
"Numair, what did I do?"
"Oh, you don't know? What you want me to re-live it for you so you can see me suffer all over again?"
"Numair, what happened? All I know is that I woke up lying in a hallway, and I couldn't remember anything."
"You killed me Daine, you killed me. You promised that you wouldn't want anyone else, not a younger man. You knew that that was what would hurt me the most, didn't you? You wanted to get rid of me, fine. But don't watch me suffer."
"W-what? Get rid of you? Numair, what do you mean? I love you. I've always loved you. And I have never, ever wanted anyone but you."
"Stop it! Just stop. If you want me back, just so you can watch my heart break again, you can't trick me like" But he was interrupted. Daine grabbed him by his robes and kissed him, he realized that she was crying.
"What must I do to make you believe that I am so in love with you and always have been? Tell me what to do Numair, and I swear to you that I will. So what would you have me do?"
"Nothing."
Ok, how was that? Good, bad, awesome, ugly? R&R! So, I'm going to update in about a minute, but first I really must tell you all that I am in love. He's so awesome! Ok, so don't forget to REVIEW!
