{DON'T LEAVE! I can't talk to myself!}
"Don't leave," Willow muttered to her. I knew this was an insurance, though, if I left Willow in pieces at least she'd have someone with her. To my surprise, Elaina did stay. "Let's get this over with," I growled to them.

"Let's get this over with," he growled at us."He's really getting on my nerves"I muttered with a broad false smile across my face.she laughed. Chad just stood there getting impatient."Look she said you were crying, I came to see the show"he said"And know that i have seen it,I'll be on my way"and he turned around to leave.I ran out in front of him blocking his exit."Look any more smart remarks"I started"And you'd be lucky to make it out of here with both your legs intact"I smiled.I liked the sound of that.

I just glared at her. I heard Willow from behind us, "Stop it. Both of you." We both ignored her. "No more running away," Elaina said curtly. "Fine with me." I lied. Willow didn't want to see me. Nothing was fine. "Just... Just talk to her," Elaina pleaded, so I agreed, but Elaina didn't leave. She stayed quietly in a corner, pretending she wasn't watching us, probably making sure I didn't try to leave again.

I sat quietly in the corner. I would rather be in bed than sitting here on the cold hard ground, but Willow asked me to stay."Chad"Willow began. He glared at me like he was blaming my for something. It didn't seem right to listen to their conversation so I turned on my i-pod and began listening to Our Song by Taylor Swift, carefully studying their body language.

When I was sure that Elaina was actually listening to her ipod and not us, I began. "What do you want, Willow?" "Chad, please be fair." "Me??" "Chad, I-I want you! Not Eldon!" "I heard you on the phone, Willow." "But - Then - Then why are we arguing?" "You were talking to him." "I was telling him I wanted you!" "I don't believe you." "You don't have to." "Fine. Bye." I turned to leave, but she grabbed my arm. I don't know what made me do it then, when I had the chance so many other times before that, but I did it. I kissed her. Then I broke away from her as soon as I heard Elaina gasp.

The song finished. I looked up to see why it had gone so quiet and I witnessed why.Chad was kissing Willow. Not just your typical peck on the cheek, no this was alot more than that.I gasped without realizing it. Chad broke away as i did so to catch me staring at them."Oh my god I'm so so sorry"What was with me and rambling when I got nervous. I found that I couldn't stop, I couldn't even hear what I was saying. I turned around to walk away. Still apologizing.

Willow giggled and I burst out laughing. Elaina was hilarious. She was rambling and walking away not even seeming to notice she was doing it. Smiling, Will grabbed her arm and yanked her back, and said, "Don't apologize, Laina, it's ridiculous!" "Sorry," She muttered automatically, and we laughed again. As casually as I could I put my arm around Willows shoulders, then winked at Elaina, letting her know that it was fine. I didn't mind.

We were laughing for ages in the hall way, looking like complete buffoons.Someone was walking by,trying to avoid us while doing so.You could see that they were trying not to laugh themselves "Hey so I'm guessing you two sorted everything out then?"I asked. They looked at each other and smiled.

I looked up at Chad and grinned. I liked how his arm was around my shoulder, it felt... Permanent. Like this would last. I liked the idea of that. I looked back at Laina, "I certainly hope so, da'aling." I smiled brightly at her. For some reason this seemed to surprise her. "What?" I asked self-consciously. "Nothing, you just... I've never seen you smile like that before." I wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing, but I could see that Chad enjoyed it.

She smiled. I was shocked, completely gobsmaked. I had previously come to the conclusion that she was physically unable to smile when she never returned mine. I was glad she was smiling. She had a really nice smile, and I'm glad that chad made her smile, even if he gets on my nerves sometimes, he was able to something that I never could. He could make Willow Zeaira smile.

I felt myself go an embarrassing shade of pink, and my ears burned. {I'm about to crash this thread}. And then we felt it. We all looked up similtaniously, we all felt the ground move beneath our feet in a steady, drum-beat fashion. Footsteps. HUGE footsteps. The Wingless.

It had been a while since I felt that. The steady and continuous beat of their steeps.We needed no confirmation. The wingless were here.I looked at Willow and Chad. Excitement and fear was written on her face, only fear was on his.Willow and I looked at each other, her fear turned to confusion when she met my gaze."The Wingless"We confirmed in synchronization

No. No, I wouldn't let this happen. I grabbed Will just as her wings eloped and she sprang to the air; pulling her back to the ground. I used a bit to much force - in my haste - and she was flung to the dirt with a dull 'thump.' I took her hand and helped her up, and then secured her tightly against me so she couldn't escape. She thrashed against me, but I turned to Laina, "We have to go. Now."

Chad turned to me"We have to go. Now"he said sternly.I stared at him in disbelief."Maybe we should warn the others"I suggested sheepishly.Chad looked like he was about to object, but then he sighed"I guess so". He turned to face Willow."We go in, warn them and then leave straight away"he almost demanded.

"We go in, warn them and then we leave straight away." I growled lowly at Will. "You got that?" She scowled at me. "No." She said stubbornly. I grabbed her wrist, so I could stop her from flying off. I knew that I was holding it too tightly, but I couldn't make myself loosen my grip. "The king left me in charge of you, Will, I won't let you--" "And I suppose kissing me was in the kings best interest?" She raised her delicate eyebrows in sarcasm. We both knew what the king would do if he found out... I shook my head angrily. "I won't lose you to the Wingless, Willow Zeaira." Elaina was watching us wearily.
