What have you done now?
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?
What have you done now?
Emily, Kara, Adriane, Dreamer, Ozzie, and Lyra stepped through the portal and onto the grassy fields in Aldenmor's Garden. Zach, Marlin, Lorren, Tasha and The Drake were waiting for them there. The healer and blazing star smiled at them, then nodded to Adriane. Reluctantly, Adriane motioned for Zach to follow her. He gave her a curious glance, obviously wondering why she had wanted to speak to him privately, but he followed her nevertheless. They walked until they couldn't see or hear the group any longer.
The warrior sat on the grass, knees pulled up to her chest, staring solemnly at the clear blue sky. Zach grew concerned, and sat down next to her. Gently, the sandy-haired boy touched her shoulder and she turned sad, deep brown eyes on him. A breeze picked up pushed her long black hair out of her face, and she checked twice to make sure it wasn't Ambia. She wanted this private.
"What did you want to tell me?"
Adriane sighed. Did she really want to do this?
"Adriane?"
Suddenly, the warrior's mind filled with all types of scenarios and fears, but she pushed them away and reached for the edge of her sleeve. "Zach..."
I have been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done now?
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to
Because you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What have you done?
What have you done now?
Zach walked rapidly away from Adriane, his blue eyes filled with anger. He could hear her jump up and follow him. They made their way across the field, and Zach could see the group about a hundred yards away.
"Zach, please!" The dark-haired girl pleaded.
The dragon rider whipped around to face her. "Please what?" He was well aware of the others watching them.
"Zach, listen. I get it. I know you're mad--" She began, walking towards him.
"Of course I'm mad!" Zach yelled. As if to emphasize his point, his dragon stone flared red. "You hurt yourself, Adriane! Intentionally!"
"I'm sorry." Adriane and Zach stood about six feet apart now, facing each other. Both jewels reacted to emotions, and while Zach's pulsed a bright, angry red, Adriane's dimmed until is was a dull bronze.
"I can't believe you would do something so stupid!" The explosion of emotion caused Zach's stone to react wildly, sending a sparkling red bolt of electric light toward the warrior. The dark-haired girl didn't have time to protect herself, nor did Zach have the time to recall the power, and the force of the magic knocked her to the ground. Thankfully, Adriane was not seriously injured and got back on her feet, but her eyes regarded him cautiously. He couldn't stand that look-- He now felt like Asshole of the Year. Zach turned around to the sounds of a chorus of yells, and saw his friends running to them.
"What happened?!" Lorren exclaimed, his green eyes wide.
"My... stone, it--" He caught sight of the warrior mage rubbing her shoulder and glaring at him with hurt and anger and gasped. "Adriane!"
"Save it," She snarled, then looked at Emily. "This was a mistake."
I have been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
I will not fall
Won't let it go
We will be free when it ends
I have been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
