(Kate)

Seemed like forever that I was locked in pain and darkness. Then, just darkness. When I finally came too, I was in a hospital. Woke up from a three day coma with scars on my back. Many of my friends had come to see me. They told me that Keith had saved me after being torn up by Mer'du, who mysteriously disappeared.

Keith…he was human again. The spell was broken. I was in tears when I saw him enter the room (thank heavens no one else was around to see me). He was crying too as he rushed towards my bedside. I couldn't believe he was alive and human. But…but it was miraculous. Keith was back and here to stay.

I spent a week in the hospital and Keith visited me every day. Doctors said I would've needed two weeks if not for the speedy recovery. Keith made me laugh and erased the pain away with that cute smile of his. Something about him…when did Keith become such a man? What was these emotions that swirled around my insides, getting stronger each time I saw him?

About a day after I came back from the hospital, I found out.

"Keith? Where are we going?"

"Just trust me! Listen to the sound of my voice!"

It was late in the day and Keith wanted to go for a walk. Turns out he blindfolded me when I was off guard, flew a staraptor somewhere and made me stumble around as he led me somewhere. All I knew was that the place was steep.

"Ok. Take the blindfold off."

I did so. It was Breeze Hill, with a gorgeous sunset.

"Keith this is amazing…" I whispered.

"Isn't it?" Keith smiled. "I thought this was the perfect place for…er…"

"For what?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment. Keith pulled out a red rose and put it in my hands. I felt my face burn as he then started to kneel on one leg.

"Kate." Keith looked straight at me with those captivating green eyes. "I love you."

Felt like the whole world paused. There was nothing but us two, standing in the orange sunset glow.

"I've been in love with you for a long time. But I hadn't realized it until I became a dragon." Keith confessed. "I want to love you, to protect you, to see your sweet smile."

"You….love me?" I whispered, shivering a little.

"Everything about you, sweetheart." Keith smiled.

My breath stopped. Tears slipped past my eyes and down my face. I was frozen where I stood, unable to stop them.

"Kate!" Keith's eyes turned to concern, worried he'd done something wrong.

I leapt straight into his arms and cried into his chest. His arms wrapped around me tight, holding me close. It was awhile before I looked back up at him.

"I love you too." I blushed.

His eyes were moist, full of love. Keith kissed me on the lips, emotion flooding into my being. I feel my once-confused feelings transfer into his body. I loved Keith. And I always would.
