Chapter VIII
(Daniel)
not expect that confession, much less see her so fragile, we shared the same sentence, I missed my mother from time to time, but at least had the consolation of having a few memories of her, could not imagine not having anything, as I drew I could, what they wanted was away from it, would be separated from the slaughter Yue I would have to do to achieve my freedom, was he willing to do that?
- Why do not you run away with me? - Suggested.
- That's impossible - whisper against my chest if I run away will not rest until I was .... I just would endanger them, I was scared ... I see the blood boiling, it is that perhaps there was a solution, I promised myself who would do anything to get away from these creatures.
- I accept your deal-answer, she turned from me slowly, his face began to shine erasing all traces left by tears.
- Then let us begin.
My first attempts were a disaster, Yue insisted that it should relax more, but at the end of the afternoon only managed to take off a couple of inches, she seemed satisfied, then look for the flower moon, back to the village.
When we entered the house, Tam returned yet, so I take advantage of little advantage I take over in bed, I fell asleep immediately.
The next day I woke up on the floor, I did not spend much to realize that Tam had voted me out of bed, I was not tired as I realized, at least this time I do not use their magic to get it, just remember it made me angry The worst was that I could not mention Yue, because as he said "Who do you think is going to believe?" just now I have to concentrate on learning to fly, I woke up and felt all my muscles aching, I found Yue, we headed back to forest.
It's been a week and had become our routine use of the continued absence of Tam to maintain our clandestine classes, and every attempt I was telling Yue curiosities of my world, which impressed her, full of questions, wanted to know every detail of our customs, and one afternoon I asked.
- How humans apologize?
That disturbs me a little, brought me the memory of that afternoon where I try to apologize, I'm not yet ready to do it, but I must admit that every time I feel less hurt her for what she did, and to try to answer as fully as possible.
- You see there are many ways, but when people feel guilty give flowers, serenades, sometimes they laugh, just imagine giving a serenade to Yue, definitely would never do something like that.
- Serenata repeated puzzled.
- ... a man is when it goes to your house at night to sing a song together with other musicians.
Observe their surprise, but I also noticed how pale he looked, it felt tired, would you be sick?
- That sounds funny, "" It's time that ...
began to lean dangerously, I caught before impact with the ground, I was impatient, had to take it where Roxanne I carried her in my arms, breathing heavily, slowly open your eyes saw.
- What I spend? - Whisper was still weak.
- I passed out - answer, relieved sigh - I'll take you where Roxanne, she ...
- Non-whisper and I'm fine.
- But, replicate, his appearance showed the opposite.
- Daniel-whisper take me down - I did, I must be crazy to follow his orders-just need some sleep, you need not be alarmed as I whisper with a smile on his lips, closed his eyelids.
Hold your hands, which was very cold, the minutes passed, it became increasingly impatient, I should just have taken her directly to Roxanne, but it was obvious that she would not accept their help, we add the he would ask to change.
Watch as the sun set, I noticed a slight tightness in my fingers, relieved sigh, Yue stood up, was right when he said he just needed to rest, his steps were firm on the contrary to what was just now picked lunar flower was only a few feet from where I was.
- It is time to return
- I'll explain what happened to you! - I demanded.
- It is better not to know, "he replied.
- How?! -Claim puzzled.
Step with me, shout his name, but she ignored me, did not want to lower your voice make a fuss and get in trouble, wait until you get home, but Tam was there, so I had to hold my initial intention, choose to go to my room, but a sentence stopped me, though it was my custom, I could not avoid listening behind the door, maybe get my answer Tam.
- What are you planning? - Asked Tam.
- you mean.
- Yue know perfectly well what I speak, or think that I have not noticed what you've been flagging these days, "he snapped - you know exactly what that means! - Cry.
- Tam.
- Do not listen to me by a again! - cried - or want to remind you what happened to my mother.
There was an awkward silence, I was right, something bad happened to Yue.
- For all I know she started to fade little by little, until it was impossible to assimilate the flower, you know perfectly as I finish everything I whisper, you could hear the sadness in her voice, so tell me what is the cause?
- Tam, my life is in danger, I ... "I mutter.
- Answer me! - Demanded.
- Stop, stop, will not tell you - beg-
- Your breenum ... of course, everything has to do with it, "he said ironically - Who else would protect so hard?
Hear a door slam, then I heard a sob Yue, I wanted to comfort her, but I indirectly was the cause, wanted answers, because there had them, Yue was trying in some way back to my human state, that the was killing, for other reasons not tell me your plan, I lay in bed, Tam definitely not be back tonight.
was in the woods, today I finally leave, go back to my world, forget once and for all this nightmare. The plan was simple, I flew with Yue as far as we could, to a nearby village, which could see from my shelter in the trees, now she become, and then return with the other Gruca.
- Are you ready? - Wonder.
did not want to leave, but do not despise their efforts, it would be better off without my annoying presence.
- Of course, answer.
The heat overcame me, I felt my muscles quiver, let out a little scream, it was like reliving my transformation with the king, but suddenly everything vanished, and felt nothing, slowly opened my eyes, watch my skin had rosasio that color, I look carefully, human again, I began to laugh hysterically at that time wanted to hug Yue as he had done, and my world stood still, just a few feet she lay on the floor, I ran, my heart beat quickly, this could not be happening!, take it in my arms, I knew he would not return to me, her body was cold, loose, never would laugh, cry, see the characteristic frown, tears flowed from my eyes , it was better to be free now, when I had to share my joy.
- Yue! He shouted.
I got up excitedly, "it was only a dream," I repeated, my face was bathed in sweat, breathing heavily, "it was only a dream," I turned to repeat, but a dream could become reality if you did not do something, I left my room, saw her pale face still in my mind, I stay in the room watching the starry sky until dawn, listen to wander Yue her room and as I supposed Tam did not return.
When I saw I could not help but remember entering sleep, as usual we went to the forest.
- I think now you can reach it, indicated the flower that was on a cliff, that brought me a feeling of deja vu, this time scale for it, now I flew in by it had it before me, something so beautiful could cause so much inconvenience Yue, if only I could convert to it, and remain suspended in the air to make a decision, I swallow the flower, was bitter, my body started burning, my view is clouded, I left my wings and start to hold my rapid descent I think it was a good idea after all.
- Daniel! - Yue cry, at least she was safe, I fell into unconsciousness.
(Yue)
Today was gonna be the day after I brought the flower, take out our plan, this afternoon I would fire him, not wanted to, though hard to admit I was a stranger to the foolish man, lift up my eyes , wanted to record each of his features, but I found myself watching ate the flower, why did he do that?, because!, I flew to meet him, shouting his name desperately try to make him vomit, but it was too late the flower and invaded his body.
What was supposed to be done in these cases?, Never heard of anything like this, it would be natural to leave to their fate, and that his death would serve as an example for others breenum, however that option does not even consider it. I loaded my arms and flew quickly through the forest, many people Gruca I stared in amazement, it was normal, never one of our species had provided assistance to his servant, but it did not matter, I was looking for Roxanne , which was only a few meters from me, she look at my face, and then Daniel, seemed to understand what was happening, we went together to my house.
Once inside, laid him in his room.
- Can you cure it? - Ask afflicted.
- Of course I can, but what I offer you in return? "He said mischievously, she was definitely enjoying my suffering.
- ...- That was so shocked, I forgot who he was trying "... I see What do you want?
- Let me see ... "he said thoughtfully, every minute I looked like an eternity, it seemed absurd that we discuss a deal, rather than curing Daniel first - should be a fair price, such a beautiful necklace that I saw once.
- No, "shout, that was the only memory I had of my mother because she had to ask me that.
- is an acceptable price, considering how important this man for you, "he replied.
- Okay, but cure him, I demanded.
I left the place, I went to my bedroom, Roxanne was aware of his feelings for Daniel, like everyone in town.
fumbled my drawers, I found it in a box, Tam give me a long time, not as I got, I just said it belonged to my mother, which I could see looking at the back of the collar, was recorded in the name Diana, next to my father, I suppose he gave it, because their edges could be distinguished symbols very similar to those that were in the cup, look at it last time, I hurt too much to part with it.
I returned to Daniel, deliver the jewel Roxanne, this will leave with a smile on his lips, set my attention to Daniel, this was beginning to wake up, now that I saw it out of danger, anger and rage as the cause of such a precious object to part with me again.
- I ... "she whispered, seemed embarrassed.
- Then tell me - answers, and pose a finger on his lip and still can not get up, get some rest, then have time to talk, "answered flatly. Accepting my suggestion
closed her eyes, left the room, could not remain in his company, not to feel hurt, but I could not keep thinking about it anymore, because Tam was waiting in the room.
was incapable of making eye contact, had defrauded the had warned me again and again, but with my attitude today just got humiliated in front of the other Gruca.
- Do not hide your face from me, lifting my chin whisper I want to see.
- Tam ... I ... "I could not speak, the words would not come out, take a deep breath, I said at once - sorry, but I could not let it die.
- I know, I answer, I caress her cheek Yue there is nothing to apologize for, seemed distressed by what was going to say next - I know that has long ceased to be a simple servant to you - embrace me, now tell me do you Roxanne asked in return?
- The collar of my mother answers, I felt I pressed closer to her body, was not happy with the news-How did you get? - Ask.
- I'm not at all proud for what I did-sigh-once recording the king's office, one of the drawers you find, imagine what it would mean for you have one, so just take it.
- Did you steal? - Ask in disbelief, never thought capable of something similar.
- Yue far today's most important issues to deal seriously said, I assumed that it would deepen the origins of the piece, now that was irrelevant, the owner of the now is Roxanne, I still remember when she impetuously entered my house, I met with my hands, I am amazed by her beauty, but the mention of Daniel hit me out of my mind - speak with your breenum-listing.
I could not even reply, because Tam was already in his room, I for my part I stayed in the room was trying to understand what was happening to my heart, passing immersed in the complete joy to anger.
(Daniel)
Yue woke up and watch with a face of infinite sadness, I wanted to apologize for it go through that suffering, but she stopped me saying he needed rest, I ignored him, I assumed that when I returned to open her eyes she would find me again, but to my surprise was Tam, who was with me, and I decided to ignore prepared to discuss the state of my body, Roxanne had done a magnificent job curin I was able to get up to run a marathon if necessary, however, be pampered for a time by Yue was a very tempting idea, but first had to apologize to it, if I'm idiot, have not stopped caring, in that I met Tam's eyes, seemed eager to start talking, but could not be more wrong his fist impact on my cheek, he would answer, but seemed unaware of what he had done, it felt amazed.
- How could you be so stupid? - Muttered, hardly able to control - Why did not you realize ... what she feels about you? "Cried indignantly.
What he meant?, Would open his mouth to reply, he sent me to shut up immediately.
- s gone too far, lack've made will inevitably lead to a very painful punishment, not even comparable to what you lived in the ceremony, but I offer a solution - stare at me - go away, Rhiannon to convince them to give back to your human form, you'll go from here, ever, ever you went up to these forests do you clear?, you have until tomorrow to answer, I expect a favorable response from you, because let me clarify that never will be up to someone like Yue, not while my father is in power.
- Do you love her? "- Pronounced as he spoke I realized the reason for its offer, it's all clear to me, was the most natural when she was his fiancee, but not because I was so blind, he looked at me astonished, as if would have given a great revelation, is that perhaps "Tam had not realized his own feelings?
- Yes, "answered hesitantly - but I will not discuss it with you, you have until tomorrow to give me your answer.
sped off, listening as talking to Yue, but I could not understand anything of the talk, then heard a bang, now we were alone, would eventually apologize.
She came in with his face contorted with fury, this was not going to be easy.
- Because you betrayed me! - Cry with tears in her eyes ... I trust you, why? - I ask, try to get close, he could not see well, so out of control - let go, do not touch me, I hate you, as could you do that, I ... I thought I'd risk everything to get you out of here ... and I whisper, tears flowed down her cheeks, and I could only hug her, she resisted, but do not let it escape, "I love you you do not care ... because ...
- Forgive?, I do not ... "did not know how to justify what he did - ... the last thing I wanted was to hurt you, but I felt trapped, please forgive me"?
- No, never will, you ...
began to hit in the chest, I was selfish, I never thought that my negligence caused him much pain, what I least wanted was hurt, so I risk it, do not want her to get hurt while trying to change me, not realizing tears trickled down my face, that was kind of comforting to me!, she would never forgive me, I think it's too late to amend it, now my only goal is to calm Yue.
- What if you make us a deal? "I said trying to cheer her up.
- A deal? - Asked intrigued, had taken the bait, I continued my little speech.
- You forgive me and I return, I forgive you for having become a breenum, what do you think? - Ask hopefully.
- What do you think? - River hysterically and me because you want forgiveness, and do not mean nothing to me, nothing! "scream.
left me, he left with a big bang, then a decision Tam accept the proposal was the best, he definitely can make you happy, but I would not try, though is once again, I'll get the forgiveness of Yue.
(Yue)
Tam went very upset Daniel's room, I asked him what was wrong, but I do not know, and left the place, burst into the bedroom of my breenum, with the sole intention of demand an explanation, he asked who had told him to leave Daniel Tam so upset, but they were other words that left my lips, I was demanding an explanation for his treason, his attempt to comfort me but not let him, I apologized but it was too late, why not share your fears with me?, now that he thought he knew nothing about him except his name and age, in the end I realized I never trust me, I only use began to beat him, wanted to punish him somehow, I felt my tears falling on my head, I was really sorry, wanted to believe so, but after just happened, not whether they would trust him, perhaps did not realize the problems that caused, consumed a flower that would be part of the liquor which they drink at the next full moon, I did not think the punishment would impose, for he did not believe in me, everything would be solved if he had. He suggested a deal, what intrigued me, but proved to be no more than a ruse, is mocking me?, After everything I said on that occasion, now changed his mind so easily, I began to laugh, makes a couple of days would have given anything to accept your forgiveness, I found it untenable to continue over there had to get away, ran out of the house, not wanting to get to the lake, because whenever he wanted to forget, I went to a place was full of memories.
