Thank you all reviewers! Your advice is greatly appreciated!

I keep forgetting to say this: All characters are Tammy's (the genius) Not Mine! And if I forget to say that on other chapters note that it wasn't on purpose. Just don't sue me!

Daine gasped trying to figure a plan. They would come to remove her baby in just a few hours if that!

She looked around. There was a pitcher of the drugged water. She didn't want to drink it, but they didn't give her anything else to drink.

She didn't even have her dagger! All that was in this dirty room was the water pitcher and cup, a wooden table, the cot, and a water basin with a rag and towel.

Towel! The room had plenty of sticks and stones. She remembered the immortal realms. She made a sling to protect herself.

Daine grabbed two sticks and the towel. As fast as she could she began to make a sling for herself. She got on her hands and knees and began to scurry the floor for larger stones to use.

After coming up with a decent pile she placed the sling and stones under the cot.

Daine slept for another hour before Gordon and the healer came.

Gordon smiled when he saw her on the cot, "Veralidaine Salmalìn I'd like to introduce you to one of the city's healers. He will be removing the babe."

Daine sat up. She slid her hands behind her back to get her sling and stones.

Gordon smirked at her as he said, "I, of course, will be present for the removal."

This was enough for Daine. She pulled out her sling and shot one of her stones at the healer. It hit him in the chest. He stepped beck. Daine wanted to scream with impatience. The stones were not big enough!

Gordon glared at her, "That was not wise Veralidaine. That was…"

He didn't get to finish his statement before the door burst open and black fire wrapped around him. Gordon cried out. The healer gasped and packed into a corner.

A tall figure with dark brown eyes and black hair stepped forward, his magic still wrapped around Gordon.

"Numair!" Daine gasped.

He glanced at her and for that brief second he slightly weakened his grip on Gordon giving the General a chance.

Gordon lashed, his orange gift sending out towards Numair.

Numair sent up a shield until Gordon took a breath; he then sent balls of black fire to Gordon who put up his shield. Daine saw her chance; she took her sling and shot a small stone at Gordon's side. He yelped and turned his attention to Daine. Numair took the chance and flung a huge amount of his gift at the General. Gordon let out a scream as the fire ate him up.

Numair blinked. For a second he couldn't believe what he had just done. Then he heard Daine get off the cot. He turned to her and pulled her into his arms. She buried her hands in his hair, blinking back tears.

They stood like that for a few minutes before the healer saw his chance to leave. Numair turned and grabbed unable to use anymore of his gift.

"Don't hurt him, Numair. I don't think he had a choice."

Numair sighed but nodded.

Daine suddenly felt faint. "Numair," she whispered clutching his shirt as darkness took over.
