Syanne

Sprawled on the floor I found my lifeless lungs gasping for air. The panic had now turned to terror as Dumah's darkened figure towered over me. The glint in his amber eyes flared like fire, his lips were tightly closed together and his massive talons clenched and relaxed every so often. Crawling back I shook my head. 'Dumah...what.' I tried to speak but it came out in a whisper. 'Speak when spoken to girl!' his voice roared, the next thing I knew his fist went straight down onto a near by table instantly splitting it in two. 'I seen it Syanne…Do you think me a fool!?' His voice was now raspy and strangely quiet. 'No, Dumah…why are you saying this?' my voice began to shake; the confusion and fear had mixed into a horrible concoction churning my stomach.

The back of his hand met my cheek again making me fall back and hit my head of the flooring; instinctively I grabbed the back of my head to nurse the pain. 'Get up…' I heard him say, I would but in all honesty I couldn't see a thing in front of me, just blurs of shapes and his figure. 'I said get up!' His talons scrapped onto my scalp as he grabbed a fist full of hair, we were now face to face and I could smell barely fresh blood upon his breath. Flinging me back onto the bed I glanced down my white night cloths wear splattered in blood that trailed from my mouth, starting to feel the hunger I knew I was in trouble, but for what? Did it anger him I showed Lord Kain to their dispute?

'I know what is going on between you two.' Dumah's voice quivered. Surely he didn't mean between Drevmar and I. 'The way you looked at each other…I am not blind Syanne! You are supposed to be mine and mine alone! He was right… he was the first to notice. I should have listened sooner!' He then walked towards the window and placed his hand onto the wall to give him support. What on earth was he talking about? 'Du…Dumah I have no idea who you are talking about…', 'LIES!' Marching over he grabbed my neck and straddled on me, the pressure on my neck was unreal, I was sure it was about to snap at any second, frantically I clawed at his face and arms, but to no avail. 'Turel that's who you whore!' He roared at me.

Just as the room began to completely darken I heard my door creak slightly, then a young woman's voice 'Lord Dumah I…' Then he let go. 'Get out!' he barked at the young girl. The door slammed shut and I heard her footsteps run quickly down the hall and then I knew I was going to die at the hands of my master. Sitting up on the bed, rubbing my neck tears filled my eyes. 'No, why do you think this? You know that I only have eyes for you and you alone. I would not betray you so. Who ever told you must be seeing great pleasure in you tormenting yourself so with such accusations Dumah. Please listen to me; I would never be with anyone but you.' My voice sounded hoarse, I coughed a little to try and ease the pain. If I played calm hopefully it would persuade him to do the same. Just get up and leave I thought to myself. But I couldn't.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed, eyes diverted to the floor. 'You have always had a way with words. If what you say is true then I have to pay a certain brother a visit. If you are lieing to me however, both Turel and you are dead.' With no more words, not even looking back he got up and left, slamming the door behind him. Sitting there on my bed staring into space my mind tried to come to terms with what had just happened, what he had said. I couldn't help it any longer I done something I promised myself I would never do. I sat there and cried. The longest 5 or so minutes had passed and then came a small knock at the door.

Whipping the tears away and fixing my long hair to some what of tidiness I cleared my throat. 'Yes?' 'My lady are you alright?' the young woman's voice called from earlier. 'Of course, please come in.' She stepped in bathed in the light from a near window, I knew those blue eyes, dark blonde hair and fair skin, her small frame shrank in comparison to mine. 'Kimsan!' I gasped in surprise. 'You saved my life.' I said quietly, I stood up before a wave of dizziness hit me. Sitting back down quickly I looked over at her. 'I saved your life, again…' She said rushing over and gave me the kindest embrace. 'What did that bastard do to you, I told you not to get involved with him?' Kimsan looked at me concerned. I need to go a walk, I fear if I don't this dizziness will never go away.' Changing the subject.

I gave a false laugh; I could tell she wasn't convinced. Helping me up we began to walk towards the gardens near the front entrance of the fort, some people stopped and stared at me other just turned their heads. We arrived in the gardens, the grass seemed to glow eerily in the moonlight, the flowers were dead and the stone floor was cold underneath my bare feet, I had yet to evolve to getting talons, I dreaded that day. We sat on a marble seat and gazed around us a comfortable silence fell between us. 'Excuse me my lady', the both of us nearly jumped out of our skins, turning round quickly we both looked up at the man who spoke.

Oh great the person I needed to be caught speaking with. Turel.
