"But . . . This is just rocks . . ."

"Are they? Look at that part..."

*He pointed to a dark area under the rocks*

"See anyhing?"

(Is Will with us, or not?)

(NO)

Dani looked and saw an opening. Inside was a helecopter.

"How long has this been here?"

"Very good. Sice I came back. Inside contains Dani. I knew you would want to become a spec op, it just took time. You wanna see her?"

*Kieth grinned*

Dani looked at him, a little flustered. "I've been through training, thank you very much. Sure."

*We walked into the cavern, which had a samll helicopter in it*

*Kieth yelled in another laungage, and out stepped...you.*

"Dani this is Daniella. Daniella, this is Dani."

Dani, cofused as to who she was at the moment, shook hands with the other girl. She was at a loss for words. She looked to Kieth for instruction.

*Kieth was obviously amused, as the other girl id a simalar thing to what you did*

(The girl said)- "Poilk dnf mkiop wetyf?"

"What?" Dani said, out of it.

"I don't understand. How did you make her just like me?"

*Kieth looked puzzled*

(To the girl)- Mokjf kop ewrt dill!

(The girl replied)- Greetings Daniella, nice to meet you.

"Sorry, forget to change her laungage..." :oops:

"She's a robot?" Dani asked, confused as ever.

"I don't understand. How did you make her just like me?"

"We...um...just did." <_< >_> "Yeah..."

Come on, let's go.

*Kieth stepped inside the helicopter*

"She's a robot?" Dani asked, confused as ever.

"No. She's very real. I just hope nobody tries an assination attempt, they would die very quickly!"

*He laughed*

Dani got in nervously. She buckled in, and put on the headset. What if anyone found out?

"Kieth, why are you doing this for me?"

*He pressed a few buttons to start the copter*

"They won't. It's fool proof, trust me."

(Your co-piolt, right? You don't have to fly...)

"But seriously, youre risking a lot."

"Not really. It would be hard to figure out who did what..."

*The copter began to lift from the ground and hover*

Dani looked out the window. She closed her eyes. A new life was all hers. She smiled.

"Thanks, Kieth."

"You bet. I knew this is what you wanted..."

*The clone of you was gone from the cave*

*We began to hover out, Kieth started to count down from 20 seconds*

Dani closed her eyes, relieved.

"10....9....8....7...6..5...4..3..2..1.."

"Let's go."

*The copter flew out of the cave quickly, passing right over the beach, then over a millitary base*

Dani smiled, and turned back to Kieth.

"You know, this woud be considdered kidnapping. If you are caught, the punnishment is death. But I excuse you of it, just for good measure."

*A transmission of Dani came on the screen*

(Transmission)- "Have a safe trip home, Kieth."

(Kieth)- "Thanks. Good luck with the nation."

(T)- "Take care."

Transmission ended

*Kieth laughed*

Dani smiled, happy.

"So, where are we going?"

OOC: OK I have been gone for likle 3 weeks and it appears the rp i started has gone alot farther than i though so could someone plz refresh me on what has happened.

OOC: Welcome back, evil boy! J/K. Anyway, Dani's friends came to her rescue. She invited hem to stay in the palace. Then they left to go to a secret house. Dani became queen. Now she's going to get more Spec Ops training, JIC you come back.

By the way, Happy Birthday!

By the way, Happy Birthday!
OOC: Ty, Can i do stuff to your queen?

OOC: when she gets back . . . yes. Let her alone for now.

OOC: Ty, Can i do stuff to your queen?

(OOC)- That all depends on what the word stuff means...

I play a large, genetically enhanced, keenly trained human who has been trained to kill as soon as he could walk. I also happen to be very pissed off at the death of her farther, who was a close friend of mine in secret (never RPed).

Plus- I am training Daniella to become a spec ops unit of my army which, arguably, has the toughest/best trained spec ops unit ever.

You sure you still wanna try something?

Dani smiled, happy.

"So, where are we going?"

To an island off my main nation. That's where we train...

Dani nodded. She closed her eyes, and laid back on the seat.

"Mind if I nap for a second?" She asked.

"Sure. When you wake up, we'll be there."

"Okay."

Dai allowed herself to fall asleep. But then she dreamed her father was alive again, but suffering. She couldn't get to him. She woke up in a cold sweat, breathing hard, a few seconds later.

"Maybe it was a bad idea . . ."

*Kieth sensed her troubles*

"Are you okay?"

*He looked worried, then smilled and point down to the ocean*

"We are almost there."

"Fine." Dani lied. She looked at the island. "Do you think I'll fit in?"

"How do you mean, fit in? You won't be training around the others..."

"True. But still. I've been trained by my people. Do you think I'll make it to your level?"

*Kieth thought for a second*

"You may not. We will start at whatever level you can reach, then move up slowly. It takes about a onth before we can bring one black op into service, longer if you count devlpoment."

Dani nodded.

"I'm pretty damn good."

OOC: Back in about 20 mins. Family trouble. Sorry Bas!!

(OOC)- I'll wait for ya.

"I'm sure you are. But I need to make adjustents to the trainig, of course. We can't have you possibly dying, or training with something not implanted in you. The training will still be very hard.

It will last 1 month. That's all it takes."

We approch the island. It's completly covered in a large base, expect for another island that comes off of it. The base is large. There are AA defences around it, as well as a small airfeild on it. A forest covers the other island. Nobody can be seen at all.

The helecopter lands. Dani unbuckles, and gets out.

*Kieth stepped out, briming confidence*

"Welcome to your new home..."

Dani was a little apprihensive. She looked around.

"I sense too much movement unseen for my likeing."

"Yes, there is a lot of work about in here. They sence a new commer. You will feel very weird just being here.

Remeber, they have been around the same people since birth..."

Dani nodded quietly. She looked away, diveting her eyes.

"After you."

*He walked into the building*

"We will go to your room."

(There are a few people in here. They look at you, then countinue what hey were doing.)

Dani looks around nervously.

"I've ever had to go anywhere withoutbodyguards before . . ." She whispers, feeling uncertain. "Even on my mission, I had guards."

*He whispered back*

"They are not gonna kill or hurt you. Your safer here then with your body guards." He laughed.

*As we walked, a few nodded to Kieth, others saulted him*

Dani stayed right behind him.

"Something's just not right about his place."

We reached a door, where Kieth stopped.

"Yes, it's very...uncomfortable. We train killers, thoughtless killers in here."

A few children passed by.

*He stopped them from walking by with a gesture*

*They (2) approched us*

(Child)- "Yes, sir?" His voice was emotionless
(Kieth)- "Where di you two come from?"
(Child)- "Bio labs section 19576"
(Kieth)- "Very well. Carry on..."
(Child)- "Yes sir."

*They walked away, and Kieth whispered to Dani*

"Watch this..."

Dani, interested, nodded.

*Kieth pulled out a knife, more of a dagger. It was 9" long, engraved with markings*

*He very carefully snuck up behind the first one and went to slit his thought*

In a blinding movement of speed, the child spun around, hit Kieth's wrist, took the knife, and aimed it at Kieth's throught.

*The child laughed*

(Child)- "Not quite sir, your getting rusty..."

Dani's hand flew up and covered her mouth. She stood in utter horror and shock.

"This . . . This is normal?"

*The child helped him up and handed Kieth the knife*

(Child)- "Better luck next time!" he said with a slight grin.

*The children walked off, as if nothing ever happened*

(To Danya)- "Quite. The child just came from the bio labs, his extra sence of awarness is at it's height after a check up vist. I was just playing with the kid. That's how we train the awareness level..."

Dani nodded.

"But pulling a knife on a child?" She asked.

*He nodded*

"The child is going to be a black ops one day, he ust be ready for anything. Somebody could kill him in here, you never know. I wouldn't have killed him anyways..."

Dani smiled, unable to hide it any longer. "I know you don't have the guts to kill a child."

*A wide grin went across his face*

"Your right. I couldn't kill anybody in this base. They are all too valuble to me. Just don't try to kill them, you may get hurt when they think your really trying to kill them!"

*He laughed and opened the door to her room*

Dani smiled. She stepped inside the room.

(Discribe it for me)

The room has metal grated floors, with crisp white paint on the walls. A somewhat comfortable looking bed was in one corner, having one pillow, and a blanket.

There was a bathroom entrance in one corner. The bathroom contained a toilet, sink, and shower with a single towel hanging on it.

The room was 20 feet by 20 feet, a perfect size.

(Tell me if I missed anything...)

(Nope)

Dani walked inside and laid on the bed, face up.

"Perfect." She smiled.

*Kieth surveyed the room*

"If you need anything, just ask. Dinner will be served with in the hour. We have free time, so what would you like to do? Your training will start today, unless you want to rest and take some R&R. You may need it after all youv'e been though."

Dani sat up.

"Actually, I'd like to change out of my night gown, if that's okay."

Dani took off her robes, and showed a revealing night dress.

"You see my problem?"

*Kieth blinked a few times* :shock:

"What..oh yes! There should be something in the closet. I will wait outside for you."

*He stepped out*

Dani went to the closet and pulled out a pair of pants and a tight shirt. She put them on, and put on he boots, as well. She was in all black, and looked like a real agent. She pulled her long hair into a ponytail.

"Okay, you can come back in!" She called.

"You look great in that. Nobody would think about messing with you!"

*He grinned*

Dani smiled. She put her folded nightdress on her pillow.

"Are you training me personally?"

"Yes. You don't have any implants, that involves most of their training. How to use them. And I assume you don't want any..."

"No, thank you. I can't handle my body now, much less after haveing stuff put inside."

"Exactly. It would hurt too. They usally get them implanted as soon as they're devolped, so no pain is felt.

They don't know how it feels to use a normal eye..."

Dani thought about this, and then decided she better not ask.

"So, what will I learn today?"

"We wait for it to get dark. The we learn basic stealth in the forest. Sound good?"

Dani shrugged.

"Sure. You must do things differently here. Where I work, we go into a mission as a person, squeeze out any info over a matter of time, then kill."

"But this is training. It lasts for 24 hours, straight. That's the basics. The we learn advaced stuff for 48 hours, we get a 4 hour rest in the middle.

Then I have something fun to do!"

*He grinned evily*

Dani nodded.

"Well, I would sleep until dinner, but . . ." She broke off, remembering all the nightmarea abouther father.

"But what? You have nothing to worry about, it's very safe here."

Dani shook her head.

"I can't . . . I can't . . ." She blushed, trying to get the words out. "I can't be alone. I have funny dreams . . ."

"About what?"

*He made a few signals, a guard that stood by the door steped out, leaving them alone*

"My father. Please, don't make me remember." She went to the bed and hugged the pillow.

"It's ok. Just remeber they are a dream, nothing more, nothing less."

*He sat on the bed*

"I have dreams too. This was before they devopled the training we go though now..."

"I must seem like a big baby to you." Dani said, refusing to make eye contact.

*He looked at her lying on the bed*

"Not at all. I just have no idea what the dreams are about..."

"Me . . . And my father . . . I can't save him. I'm too weak."

"He would have died, no matter what. If you tried to help, then you would be dead."

"No. He wouldn't have killed me. He wanted me to see it, but he never would have killed me."

"Why not? What would have happened if you tired? Would your father still be dead?"

Dani paused for a moment.

"Yes."

She turned to Kieth.

"Will someone be at my door always?" She asked, frightened.

"Would you not want them to? It really wouldn't matter, your on an island that doesn't exist with people that aren't really here."

*A small laugh came from Kieth*

Dani, not comforted, nodded.

"Yes. I don't want him to come again."

"Umm...sure. Any reason?"

Dani nodded.

"Him."

She began to get tired again, but tried to keep her eyes open in fear.

*Kieth was puzzled*

"Is the fact he's a male bother....oh. I get it now. A guy killed your father. That's why, right?"

Dani nodded.

"Don't let him come. Last time I left, he found me."

"HIM? The killer? Where is he?"

"I dunno. Back home, I suppose."

(OOC)- I'm really tired. You wanna wait til tomarrow to do some more?

OOC: Yeah, sure. I have to go to bed soon. But we need to finnish this quickly.

High up in the clouds a mysterious man is rinding on the back of a great beast lost deap in his own thoughts.
He whispers to himself, "Where is she?"
He remebers the day when he executed her father like it was yesterday.
<Flash Back sequence>
"No," she pleaded,"don't do this."
Ignoring her he removed his pistol from its holster and readied the action.
He lowered the barrel down and touched the back of her father's head.
"NO!" she screamed and threw herself at him," I'll do anything, just dont kill him." He pushed her off of him and ordered the guirds to restrain her.
Once again he readied his weapon and with a look full of malice pulled the trigger. <BLAM!>
As he walked by her, she screamed and luanched herself at him once again. This time he blocked and in one smooth movement his fist connected with her temple and knocked her unconscious.
<Present time>
The lone figure shivered slightly, then wheeled the creature around and started looking for a place to land for the night.

Dani sat upright.

"He's comming for me." She said, frightened. "He'll kill me! Kieth, you better go!"

"I'm not going to leave. He can't get you here, it's too defended."

"Yeah, so was the palace. It was in the middle of a friggin' military zone! I'm not going to let you get hurt!"

Dani got up, and ran out of the room. She ran until she was outside. She looked for a way to get off the island, and seeing none, ran to the water to try to swim off.

The lone figure lands on a island and shudders again. "She's here." he mutters as he pulls out a bed roll. He then reachs into a saddle bag and pulls out some meat for his creature.
"We've had a long day old friend," he says,"you deserve this." Then he throws the meat up and the creature catches it with lighting speed. He walks around the beast once and then pulls out some food for himself.

As she ran, others looked at her in a puzzled manor. A few asked why she was running.

"Dani! It's okay! Calm down!"

He ran after her, easly catching up

"He can't touch you here! This place if very secure, and we have the best black ops team around us. You don't have to worry!

The only way he can get you is if you left the island..."

"Don't you get it Kieth? He's already here!"

The lone figure lands on a island and shudders again. "She's here." he mutters as he pulls out a bed roll. He then reachs into a saddle bag and pulls out some meat for his creature.

(OOC)- What island do you mean? This one?

(To Dani)-

"How can he be here? We have defence systems to guard the island, how could he slip by them? Maybe your just over reacting. He's not here..."

OOC: I quote Grenfeild: 'She's Here.'

(OOC)- Oh, didn't see that. :oops:

Dani shook her head.

"You don't understand. He's here. He's going to kill me. I have to get away so he doesn't kill you, as well!"

The man finishes eating and lies down for the night. <There will be plenty of time tommorrow to find her.
OOC: This is great. I had no i dea this thread would get like this.

*Kieth sighed*

"He can't. You are aware that this is a millitary installation. We are surronded by the best spec ops in the world. You sure he can kill you?"

"I'm dead positive." Dani said. She took Kieth's chin in her hands and moved his face towards the ocean. "Can you stop the waves? No. Nor can you stop him."

The figure wakes up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.
"Those eyes," he whispers in between breaths,"why do they haunt me so."
He then lays back down and starts thinking about the next day. He falls back asleep after a few minutes.

(OOC)- We should wait for Danya to come back, then we can continue.

OOC: ok
:twisted:

(OOC)- Keep in ind that you are on an island. This island are filled with my black ops units, they are the best spec ops in the world.

We all have special implants that allow us to see infared, hear better, run faster, have a very fast reaction time, and have been grown in labs for the purpose of training.

You will die if they find you. The entire island is used by the for training.

OOC: ok got that. is there a front door since the people in thebase have no idea who this guy looks like could he come and join for the training?

(OOC)- I suppose that, for this RP, you could pretend to be here for training. That would never happen, but you couldn't get in any other way so...

I could just mix you up with some one else.

Of course, I grow the black ops units in a lab, but I'll be nice.

Just be sure you try to get Danya when I'm not around. I am a black operative as well.

OOC: sounds like fun and ty for not killing me off.

OOC: sounds like fun and ty for not killing me off.

(OOC)- I was tempted to launch an attack to flatten your nation, but may not do it.

It depends on what happens. Be sure that if you hurt Dani, I will declare war. You have already influtrated a base of mine ya know! :lol:

Bas, he wouldn't hurt me. He may seem like some guy who picked me randomly, but most of this (up until now) has been planned out. He knows I'll kick his butt if he does anything.

OOC: i have to go now can we work on this say later tonight

(OOC)- Sure. See you both then.

OOC: Guys, I'll be off and on. If you want me on all the time doing this, wait till 11 PM my time.

(IC)- "We need to get you off the island Dani. You could get killed in the cross fire. Let's go now."

He sprinted off, his enchanced muscles gleaning from the moonlight in the now dark island.

Can you all tell me whats been goin on in here lately?

There's a lot, let me find a sum up...

Hold on a second.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1114074#1114074

This is the other thread. We need Dani and Kieth to get to the Palace.

IC:
Dani followed Kieth, but stopped suddenly.

"Wait!"

"What is it?" He called. Dani put a finger to her mouth, walked up to him, and pulled the gun from where it had been hidden under his shirt. She aimed and shot a distance of about 40 yards off, into a bush. The same little boy from earlier poped his head out.

"Missed." He said.

"Believe me boy, had I wanted to kill you, I would have hit you straight on." Dani said, annoyed. "What do you think you're doing?"

He walked up to her, heavy portfolio in hands.

"This is for you, Queen Dani."

He handed her documents, which turn out to be the attack on her soil. Dani cursed.

"I told you!"

Dani's friends came to her rescue. She invited hem to stay in the palace. Then they left to go to a secret house. Dani became queen. Now she's going to get more Spec Ops training.

Oh, my black ops are all biologically enhanced and trained since birth to kill.

(OOC)- Crap, they found out. :)

(IC)- "Hmm...we need to get you back on your soil and solve things up."

Kieth nodded to the boy, sending him running off.

well so that all has happened man and without me in the last like 15 pages gosh!

Dani nodded, and handed back the gun.

"If he had been a man, I'd have killed him. But he was only a boy."

Suddenly a man jumps out of the bushs and does a tap dance in fornt of Dani then disappears.

(OOC)- I thought you left...

(IC)- "If he wanted to kill you, he could have."

(Kieth grinned and ran to the helicopter, preparing to go back to Danya)

Suddenly a man jumps out of the bushs and does a tap dance in fornt of Dani then disappears.

Kieth drew his gun, a strange looking pistol, and aimed it into the bushes

"I can see you, step out now and you won't die."

Dani did not move from her spot.

"Oh yeah? Just because I wasn't trained here means I'm not any good?" She said angrily. "Fine."

She sat in the helecopter, not even looking at Kieth.

OOC: Major monsoon over here . . . actual rain!

(OOC)- Cool! :o

(IC)- "I...that's not what I meant. The very fact you could see him indicates a great stealth abilty on your part."

"Whatever."

Dani, on the outside, was pissed that Kieth could say someting like that. Then, on the inside, was hurt. Did he think her totally infurior? Maybe she should just abandon all hope.

Then a village idoit walks up to the helicopter.

"Can I have your autograph please." he says as he grins at Dani.

OOC: I'm gonna kick your butt when I see you next, VARGER.

Kieth was angry at himself. He didn't mean to say something like that, and now Dani was pissed. His nation was already bound for war with Danya because of the kidnapping, and now the queen herself was angry at him.

Must be my lucky day..., he thought to himself.

As he started up the helicopter, he allowed a single tear to leave his eye.

OOC: I had to do soemthing stupid. It reminded me of a good time when there was only one village idoit to a town!

IC: The village idoit runs away crying because he thought she was some other blonde chick.

Dani watched as the island got smaller and smaller behind them. She gt an urge . . .

She unbuckled her belt, and movved to open the door to jump out.

*Kieth turned to her*

"What the hell are you doing?"

Panic filled his face

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by what I said earlier, it's just y high level of pride..."

Dani turned back to face him. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Kieth, I dared to dream. I dared to love. And look where it gets me. Why should I stay?"

because the village idoit loves you!!!!!!!!!!!

OOC: I'm gonna kick your butt when I see you next, VARGER.

I know where you sleep!!!

Kieth looked terrorfied

"Please...don't. We can talk about this!"

Dani, shocked at Kieth's reaction, sat back down. She turned her head away, not looking at him.

"Then, you condemn me to my doom."

because the village idoit loves you!!!!!!!!!!!

(OOC)- Shut up! :x

OOC: I'm gonna kick your butt when I see you next, VARGER.

I know where you sleep!!!

Well I know your telephone number and I know your family so hahahahaahaha beat that Dani!

OOC: I'm gonna kick your butt when I see you next, VARGER.

I know where you sleep!!!

Well I know your telephone number and I know your family so hahahahaahaha beat that Dani!

Seriously, I don't want the mods to delete this.

(OOC)- Either shut up or join the RPing, Varger...

Ok its all fun and games tell I get my eye poked out.

He leans over and his eye gets poked by a pen ok the game is over sorry.

Dani, shocked at Kieth's reaction, sat back down. She turned her head away, not looking at him.

"Then, you condemn me to my doom."

(IC)-

"What do you mean by that?"

Dani shook her head. She stayed silent.

Ok Sorry There Basenji can't really join tell you land man!

Kieth shifted in his seat, not used to doing this, and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for anything I may have done or said that upset you. I don't know what I did though. Tell me, and I could try to make things right."

Dani only shook her head no again.

"Fly the helecopter. That is your job at the moment."

Kieth nodded sulenly and flew

(An hour or so of uncomfortable silence passes)

"We are apporching your nation."

Dani made no action to show she heard. She sat as far away from Kieth as her seat would let her go.

(We land)

"Welcome home."

He sighed

"I'm gonna hang for this. By morning I will be dead. Nobody 'kidnaps' the queen and gets away with it. I'm a dead man..."

Dani lowered her head.

"As promised, I'll cover for you. I will not let you be harmed. Follow me. We will find my double."

A Wolf walking on hind legs comes up to the Queen Daniella.

"May I help you down My Lady?"

Kieth jumped out and followed Dani, not saying a word

Dani walked into the palace, and James ran up and hugged her.

"Dani, you're okay!"

"Releace the girl. She was on my orders. Mr. Gateway is not to be punnished for my actions."

Dani turned to him.

"You may stay if you wish, as you condemned me to this hellish prison."

The Varger follows the Queen and the other man.

Wonder if i should talk to the queen about how she is.

"I don't think I'm wanted here..."

Dani was stung. She wanted to hug him, but then she remembered his comments to her.

"As you wish." Dani bowed to him.

The Varger walks outside maybe I'll talk to her tommrow.

"I didn't say I would leave. I will stay, but will be regarded with hate because of what I did."

He looked very sad

Dani nodded, and stood straight up. She let Kieth watch a single tear run down her cheek before she turned and went to the briefing room. One of the guyards went up to him.

"You may follow, if you wish."

He nodded at the guard and followed

The Varger returned to the Ship that brought him to Danya.
"Well now time for some sleep." he said as he yawned.

They were takein into a room and briefed on the attacks at the airport and at the capitol building. Dani was at a total loss for words. She turned to James.

"What do I do now? I can't handle this on top of everything else!" She said, sounding panicky.

Kieth's jaw dropped open.

Great, now look at what you did. This has happened because of you...

"I'll help in anything to happen. It's because of me this happened..."

A tear rolled down his face

Dani, still not able to look at him, answered quietly.

"This is about that Ruhr terrorist problem, not with you." She said.

"But if you had been here, you would have been able to do something! I should be killed..."

Dani, her eyes full of tears from stress, looked up angrily.

"If you blame yourself one more time I will have you removed from my sight! Sit down and relax! We need a solution, not another problem!" She shot out, suprised at her dareing.

Kieth looked up suddenly, not having been ordred around like like that since his training. Part of him wanted to make sure it never happened again, but his brain told him to sit down

He sat

"Yes, we need to find what to do, not how to ake it worse."

Dani nodded.

"So, the investigation has begun. I want a status report every 30 minutes. Until then, we have no need to sit and waste each other's time. I'm going to go on a calming walk before I say something stupid."

Dani rose and walked out of the doors, not sure if she wanted Kieth to follow or not.

Kieth watched her walk away, deciding he didn't want his head ripped off, he stayed here to think.

Dani reached the gardens and sat, unable to think. She heard someone comming, and looked up to see James.

"Hey girl. I think you're doing fine. Keep it up." He sat next to her on the grass. "We'll make it through this."

"How are you so sure of things?" Dani asked. James smiled.

"There's too much of your father in you for things to get too unbearable around here."

Dani smiled, and James wiped a tear from her cheek.

"Go talk with him." He said, smiling.

"I . . . I'd rather not at the moment." Dani said, flustered.

"Well, do it soon."

Kieth found a pencil and began to try to ballence it on it's easer

Well, at least the pencil can't yell at me, he thought.

*He siged at standing the pecil up, and began bouncing the rubber easer on the table.*

(Bounce)
(Bounce)
(Bounce)

Dani sighed and got up. she walked back into the briefing room, and watched Kieth play wth the pencil. She began to tear up again.

"Kieth, can we talk?" She asked, sounding like she was about to cry, and afriad he'd say no.

He heard Dani walk into the room, her voice surprised him. He slipped on bouncing the pencil, and it cut his finger. The cut bled, but he did his best to hide it.

I'll be fine by morning, he thought.

"Sure. What do you want to talk about?"

"Not here." She said, nodding her head in the Army Generals (all 10 of them) directions. "Can we go for a little walk?

She saw his bleeding finger. Dani walked over, held it in her hand, and kissed it.

First she hates me, then she wants to walk with me? I wonder what's up, he thought.

*Kieth stood up, and walked with Dani outside*

(Outside)

"I'm..."he stopped.

"No, I'm sorry. I should never have acted the way I did."

"You had a right to."

A tear rolled down his face

Dani reached up and wiped the tear away.

"No, I took what you said way out of line. I . . ."

She stopped, beginning to cry herself.

"Maybe I should . . ."

Kieth was touched. She was under a lot of pressure, and now she has more.

*Kieth embraced her*

"No. Don't worry about anything. Just..."he stopped and realised it was not nessacry to say that. "It's all gonna be ok. One day, you'll look back at this and laugh."

"Well, from where I'm standing, this isn't very funny."

She began to shake.

"How can one hold all of this in?" She asked.

"Don't hold it in. Just let it all out, that helps."

"I can't."

Dani pulls back from Kieth's grip.

"Look, I . . . I don't want to lose you."

"Lose me how?"

Kieth looked into her eyes

Dani seemed to snap out of it for a second.

"No . . . No! I can't." She ran down the path, crying.

Now I'm really confused. I think the pressure made her snap, he thought.

...or maybe she's a confused, frightened, and lonley young girl who doesn't know what to do, another part of his mind said.

"Dani! Come back!"

Dani ran until she fell on the ground. She didn't want to let her feelings come out. She couldn't let them!

Kieth ran after her, and saw she fell. He quickly reached her, and helped her up. He was not short of breath at all.

"Dani, you can talk to me. Just tell me what's on your mind!"

*Kieth looked at her in a pleading fashion*

Dani, yet again, shook her head no.

"I can't . . . It's all too much . . ."

She sat on the ground, breathing deeply. She then looked into Kieth's eyes.

"Why didn't you let me jump?" She asked, sounding as if it would help her make a point to him. "Honestly?"

Oh great. I could give her the answer of 'To save you', or the answer of 'If you died, I would have been in troble even more'. I can't go nuetral on this...

"I...I did it...to..."

Dani nodded. "See? You are clueless at what to say. This is ow I feel. All the time."

"I know what to say. Just not sure if I can say it the right way."

Just then several long black cords decend from the sky. They are quickly followed by a group of twelve heavily armed soldiers. Their captain walks up to the queen.
"Your majesty we have a message to deliver to you from the Emperor of Grenfeild. Will you accept our message?"

Dani nodded.

"What does he want?"

Dani nodded.

"What does he want?"
"Well your Highness your brother Ryan was dethroned after he executed your king and his heir was wondering if you would go to his crowning. He is hoping that this will be the beginning of a glorious peace between our kingdoms."
He stands there and waits for her answer.

Dani was taken back slightly.

"Well, who is to be the new king?" She asked.

"Well, your Highness it is to be Prince Chris...."
He looked thoughtful for a second.
"We have lost track of Ryan, so we think that your life is in danger."
"I can leave some men behind if you would like."

Dani shook her head. "No thank you. Ryan shouldn't kill me . . . But if he does try, I'll be ready this time."

"Ok your highness, the crowning will be in two weeks"
The soldiers ascend up the ropes and fly away

Dani turned back to Kieth.

"Wow. Now, what were we arguing about?"

Else where in Danya:
In a small fishing village a lone, hood figure is seen descending from the heavens and stalk off into the woods.

Dani turned back to Kieth.

"Wow. Now, what were we arguing about?"

"Not sure."

Kieth began to laugh

Dani put her hands on her hips.

"This isn't funny. Whatever I was yelling at you for must have been importaint!"

Kieth stopped laughing, a big grin now on his face.

"If it was that important, you would have remebered!" :D

"Ah, I remember. What were you going to say? About me jumping out of the helecopter?"

The grin left his face

"What was I gonna say? I can't remeber now..."

Let's see how long we can dance around it, maybe she will give up on asking me, he hoped in his head.

"Nice try." She said. "You remember. Well, come find me when you're ready to talk." Dani turned to walk off.

Let's see how long it takes him to crack

Oh damn, she's serious about this, he thought worriedly.

*He went to speak, but hesitated*

Dani began the countdown in her head, unsure of what to do if he didn't react.

10...9...8...7...6...5...

"Dani! I know why now...Why I stopped you..."

Real smooth Kieth. You can't tell her, his mind said

Yes you can. Just be careful with it, don't go too far, the other part said.

Dani smiled, but wiped it off her face as she turned to face Kieth.

"Oh really? And why dod you stop me?"

OOC: What has been going on? Do I have to go and read all of the pages to figure it out?

*Kieth took a deep breath*

"I.....I...couldn't.......I couldn't...."

Kieth struggled to say it

Dani, senseing his troubles, touched his arm gently.

"Go on, you can tell me. It's okay."

Kieth took another breath

"I couldn't bear to watch you die."

He exhaled and watched for her reaction

Dani took a deep breath, looking dead into Kieth's eyes. She decided to have some fun to get the real answer out of him.

"That's bull. You didn't want to be blamed for murder." She said rather convincingly.

Kieth looked down at the ground with a sad face

"If I didn't care that much, would I still be around here?"

OOC: Help I'm confused. :? Danya go check on your heir announcement.

Dani looked into his eyes again, letting the tears come.

"A . . . a real friend?" She asked, understanding now.

Kieth looked away, then back in her eyes, a few tears rolling down his cheeks

"Yes. I real friend."

Dani laughed, and wiped the tears from Kieth's eyes.

"Then why are we crying?" She said. "I need a nap, that's what I need. Some vacation. I end up being dragged back here for an attack."

"Yes...rest will do us good."

*Kieth laughed queitly*

Dani grinned and nodded towards the castle.

"I know a place where there are two good couches by a fire."

OOC: Is Danya and Basenji going to become an item?

OOC: Dunno. That's up to Bas.

*He smilled and followed her*

That went well...

Dani led Kieth into her room and pointed out the two couches by the fireplace. She opened the balcony doors to get a little breeze.

"I'll take this one." She said, referring to the smaller couch. "I like the bigger pillows. Plus, you need the longer one cause you're taller!"

OOC: Is Danya and Basenji going to become an item?

(OOC)- Define item.

OOC: Are you two going to start dating, and possibly get married?

(OOC)- Don't know. I'll see how fate takes it. :)

(IC)- Kieth sat on the couch, feeling a bit small, even on such a giant couch.

"I'll be in a better mood when I wake up."

I hope so...

Meanwhile:
Everyone's favorite mysterious man walks into the servant quarters of the castle asking for a job. He shudders and mumbles to himself. <Those eyes, why can't i forget them> Ryan thinks to himself.
"I really need this job" he pleads sincerly.
