Chapter 2, A Shocking Revelation.
"Lews? Lews, do you like this one?" Mierin asked. She was modeling a dark green dress that the seamstress had just completed for her.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, it looks nice." Lews Therin said, briefly looking up from the book he was reading. He had been like that ever since he had come back from that ridiculous council. She sighed; it was killing her being here with him yet having him so far away from her. There was clearly something bothering him, but he refused to talk about it. Every time she even mentioned it he had an excuse to leave. She hated the fact that he wouldn't confide in her. Mierin sighed again, she walked over to him, gave him a peck on the cheek, and with a quick "I'll return shortly" left.
Once Lews Therin was sure that Mierin was gone, he sighed in relief. He wanted to tell her what was going on, he really did- after all years of being honest with each other made it difficult to lie to the other person- but Mierin always had been the jealous sort. He feared that if he told her he had found someone else she would somehow find out who it was and fry Ilyena with a bolt of flames or something equally painful and fatal. He took a deep breath, he had to tell her; he couldn't keep their relationship going when there was nothing between them anymore. His mind made up he marched off to do just that.
About twenty minutes after she had left him alone, Lews Therin ran up to Mierin, who personally was overjoyed that he had actually sought her out.
"Mierin there's something I have to talk to you about." He said when he reached her. She was so happy, he had finally decided to tell her what was bothering him- that had to be what he wanted to talk about. She smiled happily at him.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I…I…I…I just wanted to…uhh…apologize for the way I've been treating you lately. Oh and you really do look great in that dress." He stuttered out with a nervous smile.
"Oh. It's okay Lews. I know something's been bothering you recently." She smiled reassuringly, trying to coax him into confiding in her.
"Uhh…what-are-you-talking-about? Nothing's-been-bothering-me!" he said, tripping over his words. Mierin sighed.
"Okay if you say so." She said uncertainly.
Hours after Mierin want to bed Lews Therin stayed up thinking.
"Stupid, stupid, idiot!" he scolded himself.
"What were you thinking? Why didn't you tell her?" He growled a few choice curses under his breath. After a few more minutes of berating himself he finally went to bed, for yet another restless night while he dreamed of Ilyena.
"Lews come on we're going to be late for the ball!"
"Mierin we're the ones hosting the ball. It should be difficult to be late."
Mierin laughed.
"None the less we should get there now." Lews Therin sighed and quietly agreed, following her to the ball room where all the guests were gathered. Lews Therin inhaled sharply at who he saw there.
"Ilyena" he whispered.
"What dear?"
"Nothing Mierin. Nothing at all."
Ilyena searched the room, desperately looking for Lews Therin. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about him since she first saw him. Naturally once she heard who would be hosting this ball she was ecstatic, and had counted down every hour until the glorious day when she would see him again. Now that she and her family were at the ball she couldn't wait to see him. Her mother kept shooting her glances that clearly meant calm down child. But Ilyena didn't care; she was going to see him again! Nothing could spoil her good mood.
"Excuse me Mierin there is someone I must speak with." Lews Therin told her, she nodded and followed him with her eyes. When she saw him walk up to a pretty blond haired girl and kiss her hand she seethed with jealousy, but immediately stopped herself. What was she doing? Lews Therin was faithful to her; he was just being polite to that other girl. Still, she couldn't stop herself from walking over to him and taking his hand.
"Lews? Why don't you introduce me to your friend?" she asked purposely standing closer to him.
Oh no! What is she doing? Lews Therin thought, frustrated.
"Mierin this is Ilyena. Ilyena, Mierin." Mierin smiled, moved closer to him and began rubbing her hand up and down his arm. What is up with her? Lews Therin thought while giving Mierin a confused look.
"I…see." Ilyena said. She nodded to both of them and walked off.
How could she have ever believed that he could care for her? He clearly belonged to Mierin, she had made it quite plain that he was hers and he had turned to look at her, Ilyena couldn't stand to see him with her and so had left him, to be with his little tramp! Ilyena could still see her smug little grin as she stormed off. If he was so in love with Mierin then he damn well should have had the decency to say something! For the rest of the night Ilyena tried her best to ignore Lews Therin and when she would bump into him she would politely excuse herself and walk off with all due haste. She couldn't understand why he was following her around, she had already made a fool of herself thinking he might actually care for her, why couldn't he just leave her be? Did he want to see the hurt and humiliation on her face? Ilyena walked a little faster as her eyes began to water. Don't let him make you cry, whatever else you do don't let him make you cry.
This was going to drive him mad! He loved Ilyena, he wanted to talk to her about the situation with Mierin, and to explain to her that she meant nothing to him, yet all she seemed to want to do was avoid him entirely. He couldn't take it anymore, spotting her a little ways ahead, he walked faster. When he had caught up with her he stepped in front of her and grabbed her arm, effectively stopping her form running off-again.
"Can I talk to you in private for a moment?" She stared at him thoughtfully for a moment and then nodded. He led her to a separate room and shut the door behind them. He took a deep breath and slowly said,
"Ilyena that wasn't what it looked like; I don't love Mierin." She inhaled sharply.
"Oh really? Then who, might I ask, do you love my Lord?"
"You. I know that we haven't known each other for long but…it is you that I have fallen in love with. It is you that has my heart." He said and took a deep steadying breath. Ilyena squealed happily and threw her arms around his neck. Slowly as if in a trance he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her as if he never wanted to let go. Ilyena sighed and slightly pulled out of his embrace.
"Who is Mierin?"
"We were lovers for a time but we were never truly in love. I must confess I have not yet told her that I love you; she has a frightful temper."
Ilyena laughed the sound ringing like bells throughout the room. Once she stopped she smiled at him, her face lighting up the room and her eyes capturing him in the depths of their simple beauty.
Lews Therin cleared his throat loudly. When Mierin turned and looked at him he said,
"Mierin there's something I need to tell you." He paused and took a deep breath, then he continued with, "I don't love you; I'm in love with someone else and she has my heart. " Mierin's brow had begun to furrow more and more with every word and by the end of the confession her face was contorted with rage.
"It's that little blond trollop, Ilyena, isn't it?" Lews Therin said nothing.
"You think you can get rid of me that easily? Well you'll never be rid of me, you are mine Lews Therin. Do you hear me? MINE!"
"Wrong Mierin. I am hers. You can't have me." After that simple yet powerful statement Lews Therin turned his back and walked away,
"You'll never be rid of me Lews Therin. I'll get rid of her and then you'll be mine." Mierin hissed to his retreating form, but he didn't hear her, or if he did he simply ignored her.
