2: Love
Alyss was in shock. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this devastated or alone. Will. Why did it have to be Will? She asked herself.
Lady Pauline had just told her the news. Will had been taken overseas by the Skandians, along with Princess Cassandra. But Alyss didn't really care about Cassandra. She wasn't in love with Cassandra.
Because that was the truth, wasn't it? She was in love with him… With Will. She had never felt stronger emotions for anyone in her life.
Why? She kept asking herself. Tears slid down her cheeks, but she made no movement to brush them away. She was alone. She took the few moments she had to herself to cry.
"Alyss?"
She jumped, brushing the tears hastily off her cheeks. Lady Pauline stood in the doorway to her room, a look of sympathy on her face.
"Yes, Lady Pauline? Is there something I can help you with?" she asked, trying to sound confident. Her voice quavered a little.
"I have just come to see how you are taking the news…." Pauline trailed off, noting the look of pain that flashed across her young charges face.
"Fine." But even Alyss new this was a lie.
"You love him, don't you?" Pauline asked tentatively.
Alyss nodded, unable to keep back the tears. Pauling stepped forward and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"Love…. It can be a painful thing," Pauline said, understanding all the emotions battering the young girl., for she felt the same way every time Halt rode away on another of his countless missions.
Curse Rangers… she thought, shaking her head in dismay.
A/N: AWWWWWW… so cute….. Yet another one of the ideas that has been floating around in my head…
Over the course of these stories, you will notice my obsession with hurt/comfort fics. I love to read them…. And I love to write them even more… just thought I would warn you
You will also notice how much I love little Willers. I cried myself when he was taken overseas by the Skandians in book two. I really am a fangirl….. =P
