Part 8

          I am asleep. Dreaming of... Dante. Dang, I have to stop thinking of him. He's amethysts son. It won't work. He doesn't even like me, let alone love me, the stupid little brat. I hear a call. Great. What now. I peek open an eye. I hear the call again. Just a crow. Darn it. I was enjoying my peaceful rest. Well, I'm up now. I walk out of my big den, and see Dante.  I need to ask him at some point. "Uh, hey." I say, and he dips his head, his mouth full of fish. "So, uh, did you by any chance have a girlfriend, or, Fiancé-or  anything like that?" I blurt out. He looks at me confused, but nods. He swallows, then asks "Why?" I shrug. "No reason, just-uh- thought maybe I should now about your past life." I say quickly, trying to make a believable excuse.. "Oh, uh, ok." he mumbles. "What was her, uh, name?" I ask. ''Doesn't matter, she's probably dead by now." he says. "Oh... Thanks." I say. I begin to pad away when he says. "I didn't actually love her." I whip my head around. "What?" I ask, intrigued.  "I was forced to marry her." he says. "To bind our kingdoms, or whatever,"  I almost grin, or jump with joy. "Is that so?" I say. He nods. Great! I bound away, a huge smile on my face. I hid in my den o no one can see the tears of joy pouring down my face. He might love me! He might actually love me! I am so happy I could cry! Wait- I am crying. I start to laugh at my self, quietly at first, but from there it just gets louder and louder.  Soon, I cant hold it in, and I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.  I'm now rolling on the ground laughing, and I accidentally fall out of my den.  My clan mates have all gathered around, even the guards guarding Dante leave him. I am very surprised he didn't fly of then, but he came over to see me laughing. I keep laughing, and hear comments like, 'are you ok?' or, 'is she gonna die?' And as I find this funny, my giggle starting to get deeper, throatier. Now I hear more and more people laughing as well. Oh god, I am going to die. Near me people start dropping to the ground, laughing as well. I see that Dante isn't laughing, and almost stop, but don't as soon as I see a playful glint in his eyes. A mischievous glint. This makes me laugh more. I clutch my stomach, it actually hurts from laughing. I can't stop-and don't stop-laughing, until I start choking.  I cough and cough. I hear rainstorm yell "Get Stoneflower!" Stoneflower is our medicine Wegle. I literally can't breath. I am gasping for air-still laughing-believe it or not- and my vision blurs. The last thing I see before I pass out is a concerned look from Dante. That is comforting. 

   Hey guys. Sorry I can't work over the break. I'll be in Miami! If you didn't know, that's in Florida. So this is the last thing I can publish before Monday, March 27. I think. So sorry
