Sorry it took me such a long time to update! I was considering making it a one shot, but I didn't like that idea so much: I wanted to go somewhere with this. I have just finished The Crystal Shard and am starting on the second one, so I honestly have no clue how Drizzt is going to end up or how Catti Brie is going to end up, either, but I want to pretend I know for a little while. Onward.


Watching Catti

Her hair, shining in the sun, floated around her shoulders, soft to the touch. Drizzt wouldn't know how soft it truly was; he wouldn't allow himself to touch it. Her blue eyes caught his attention whenever she looked at him, so many unspoken thoughts behind them. Her walk was graceful, despite being a human, her hips swaying as she walked, unintentionally beautiful. She was strong and wasn't afraid to stand her ground, as the drow knew from so many battle experiences with her.

He knew he shouldn't, but found he was falling in love with her.

She caught his attention with whatever she did, her smile making his heart jump. What was there about this human that he liked so much? She accepted him for who he was, for what he was. While others pushed him aside and shunned him, Catti accepted him and made him feel welcome. He had never felt like that before.

Drizzt knew himself that it wasn't to last, this infatuation of his. Something would happen to tear them apart, like something always did with whatever he grew attached to.

He just wanted to watch her watching him for as long as he could.


Sorry this chapter is super short. I just wanted to give a little glimpse into what was going on, a peek, if I could call it that. It isn't supposed to tell you anything but a snippet of information. I want to keep the "Drizzt Journal" for all the emotional stuff until the end. I don't know how long I am going to make this story. I write it for fun and whenever the pressure of too many thoughts is getting to me. Please read and review!
