Okay... here's the next chapter. (Don't know if I got ten REVIEWs yet but I published this anyways. BE THANKFUL it WON'T happen again. Unless it does...)

The ending might leave some of you angry... since you don't really know what I did to "you know who", or what I will do to "you know who" (and if you don't know who "you know who" is then I suggest you re-read the previous chapter).

Disclaimer: I don't own TD-anything. So don't try and sue me.

Duncan opened his eyes and was met by the most beautiful thing in the whole world... and the most awful... it was Courtney standing over him, with a ginormously huge knife in her tiny, graceful fingered, hand.

"Princess?" Duncan asked, frozen in place, unable to move or to even try and protect himself from a possible threat.

Duncan watched as Courtney muttered something in a language he'd never heard, not that that was saying much since he only knew english.

"Princess, what are you doing to me?" Duncan asked, his eyes staring up at Courtney, scared, yet surprisingly full of trust. Whatever she wanted to do to him was perfectly fine by Duncan.

Duncan was willing to live or die for Courtney, her wish was his command... as long as she forgave him for the cruel things he'd had said, during his drunken stupor, and not meant.

Courtney finally stopped muttereing and cocked her head to the left, and smiled widley, the fangs were showing. Her black eyes danced playfully as she meet Duncan's teal stare.

It was all Duncan could do not to shudder, or maybe it was a shiver? that threatened to course through his immobile frame. Either way, he didn't move a muscle.

"Sleep now Duncan, my love." Courtney said sweetly and stabbed downwards with the knife. The wicked blade sunk deep into Duncan's chest, effectively slicing his heart in two.

I'm not totally and completly evil (I put the completely in there for a reason)... so even though it would be the perfect ending of a chapter to end it right here... its just too short. (Some people have suggested lengthening my chapters.)

So... I'll continue, just for funziez. (YES THIS IS A WORD BECAUSE I JUST MADE IT INTO ONE!!!!!)

But, you'll have to wait to see what really happens... until the next chapter. I will give you a slight hint... just to be mean.

Mawa hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Courtney re-entered her bedroom and pulled open her jewlery box. She dawned her most precious and meaningful pieces; her medallion of passage, royal birth anklet, the arm cuffs given to her as a wedding gift, her belt of womanhood, and giant earrings that had not meaning other than Courtney loved them because they were the most beautiful pair of sapphire/ruby/emerald dangle earrings she'd ever seen in all her years.

"I never thought that after my summoning I would ever return of my own free will to Asushunamir Ishtar." Courtney said, her bright mood prevailing as she danced around her room. Talking to Duncan's still body, there was no movenment whatsoever. Not even the rising and falling of his wide, muscular, shirtless chest.

This fact didn't seem to bother Courtney in the slightest since she continued around the room in a whirlwind of activity.

"Hmm, I wonder if I should put your blood in the same bag as you or a different one," Courtney thought aloud cocking her head to the side. She snapped her fingers and smiled, obviously delighted, "I know! I will put it in the same bag as the prophecy box!" Courtney hummed to herself happily as she walked by Duncan's cold, lifeless form, laying where it had fallen upon her bed.

Te hehe

I told you that this was only just a taste.

I know, I know, it was really short. But you have to admit, ending it here only leaves you wanting more... especially since you haven't learned exactly what Courtney did to Duncan...

Review! REVIEW!!

I will publish the next chapter after someone guesses at least seemingly close to what happened, (or until I get bored and publish it anyways. Kinda' like now, I don't think I got all ten REVIEWs from last time but I went ahead and published this anyway. So, have no fear, *~*~*~'s (that was my name, doesn't it look purdy? Ahh, I'm already bored, NOOOOO) boredom will soon be here!)
