She knelt down and held out her hand to help me up. I took it and smiled. She pulled me up so I was standing, stood up herself and dragged me off.

"Liadan. . . Don't go! Dustfinger and Farid might get worried about her and your supposed to do your work!" Fenoglio yelled after us, but that didn't make her stop.

She didn't even say anything back. When we were a ways away from him, she slowed down and started walking.

"Well. . . Now what should we do?"

"You mean you kidnapped me and you don't even know where we should go?" I ask. She just smiled at me.

"I know where we should go! We could go into the wayless woods to see the fire elves!" She told me right before we ran off. I was having fun with her. By the time we got to the wayless woods, we were walking and talking. While we were talking, though, it kinda slipped that I wasn't from around here. More like not from this world. She didn't want to stay on that subject for long.

I yawned.

"Are you tired?" I just nodded. "Well, it it getting dark. Wow! We've been out the whole day! She told me. I smiled.

'If you couldn't go the whole way. . .' ". . . Then you shouldn't have gone." A voice told me.

The first part was in my head, the second part right behind me. I jumped. Liadan was a few steps ahead of me, so she couldn't hear the male who whispered in my ear.

"Tristan!" I yelled before I turned to look at him. But happiness wasn't on my face for long when I remembered the last time I saw him. I pushed him as hard as I could and he almost fell, he didn't, but he almost did. I wanted him to fall so I kinda kicked him and he did fall on his butt. He looked up at me, shocked that I would even do that to him. "Tristan! For one, why did you just disappear before and for two. . . You were so rude to Dustfinger and Farid!" I yelled at him.

I wasn't worried about Liadan seeing this because Roxane, her kids, Dustfinger, Farid and Prince have seen him. What's one more person?

"Lexi. . . You don't understand."

"Oh, my god! Why do people keep telling me that?! I am eighteen years old and I would understand if you just tell me. You and Dustfinger are too much alike." I said. Tristan opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped when he looked behind me. I turned my head to look at Liadan who was just staring at us. I smiled at her. "Sorry about this. . . I get mad easily sometimes and I just had to beat him up so he knows not to make me mad, again." I told her.

I could feel Tristan's evil glare. It didn't scare me because he would never hurt me. . . But then I remembered that he wouldn't hurt me, but he would hurt someone I love.

"W-. . . Who is he?" Liadan ask me. I looked at him and gently kicked him. It couldn't hurt because it was so light.

"He's Tristan. . . Tristan, this is my new friend Liadan." She took a few steps towards me to stand next to me. She wouldn't stop staring at him.

"Goddamn, he's hot! Why didn't you tell me you had such a good-looking friend, Lexi, huh?" She leaned over to whisper in my ear.

I laughed at her bluntness. Tristan just froze and stared at her.

"Tristan. . . It's rude to stare." I told him through the laughs and giggles. The next thing I knew, though, I was in Tristan's arms.

"Sorry. . ." He told her as he grabbed my chin so I could look him in the eyes. ". . . But, I'm already taken." Right then, Tristan's lips slammed down on mine. My eyes widen, but when I got over the shock, I started to. . . Smack him upside the head! When he finally pulled away, he smirked down at me, mocking my shortness and how he's taller then me. "What is wrong, milady?"

"What is wrong? What is wrong?! You just kissed me without my okay! I liked it a lot better when you were in my dreams!" I yelled in his face. "I wish that you hadn't even come to me on that day."

Tristan stood up. He didn't look like his normal grinning self anymore. He looked really. . . Mad. I, then, started to regret everything I just said.

"Fine. . . If that is how you feel. . . Then the game is over." He told me right before he disappeared to who knows where.

"Tristan. . . Please, come back. . . I didn't mean any of that. I was just really mad. Everyone says thing's that they don't really mean." I said. I stood up and started walking around.

"What just happened?" I looked at Liadan with tears in my eyes.

"I don't know. . . Everything just went so fast. . . What should I do?" I ask her. She started hugging me, her dark brown hair covering my face. Her olive skin just was so soft. I pulled away from her and dropped my butt on the ground.

I sighed.

"I am too childish. Everything I do turns out the total opposite of what I want it to." I said.

She smiled at me.

"Yeah, you are like a big child, but still. I like you the way you are." She told me.

"Thanks! But. . . I hope you know the way back to Ombra. Because I sure don't and I think we should be getting back." I told her and she just kept on smiling at me.

"Um. . . Oops!"

I sighed.

"How are we getting back now?" I ask, I looked at her and we both started laughing.

"Tristan! You could at least help us get out of here! We're lost and the nightmares might get us!" I yelled when we stopped laughing. No answer. I puffed out my cheeks. I tried thinking of a way to make him come back, but I couldn't. "Tristan! What can I do to make you happy, again?" I ask him while looking up at the darkening sky.

The sun was almost all the way behind the trees to where we couldn't see it. The sky was a really pretty pink and blue. Stars were starting to come out, too. I looked at Liadan.

"Well, it looks like we make a fire and hope the nightmares and other thing's don't kill us."

She nodded and helped me put together a fire. Since I had spent so many nights with Dustfinger and Farid in my world, I knew how to start a fire. And a good thing too. Because Liadan didn't know how to. I laughed when I heard that. By the time we got the fire lit, it was total darkness. I yawned.

"If you want, you can go to sleep while I stay awake."

I shook my head.

"No, I'm fine. . . To tell you the truth, I kinda have the urge to yell for Dustfinger." I told her.

She laughed at my stupidness.

"You do know that if we do that, then that would call the nightmares to us, right?"

I nodded.
