Heirot

"Yes it is."Airen agreed. He gently traced his fingers over her back and made his way around her figure. He caressed her velvet skin and tenderly raised her head so he could look into her enchanting eyes. He softly kissed her lips.

Elena kissed him back, enjoying the tickling sensation moving across her skin. Then it hit her like a rock. She shot straight up into a sitting postion and ran from the tent. She turned sharply and fell down behind a tree and wretched.

Airen sat up in confusion. " What did I do?" he asked himself. He rushed out of the tent to go and find her. He heard her moaning and whimpering beside a nearby tree.

He ran over to her and put an arm around her. " Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Elena wiped her mouth with her dress skirt and leaned back in his emberace, closing her eyes. "I felt sick again," she confessed. "It happens suddenly sometimes, and then again it I can feel like I have to for a long time before I do.."

She sighed, enjoying being safe and protected by him, even though he couldn't keep her from getting sick.

She sighed. "I'm better now..."

Airen held her close as she leaned on him. He didn't know wht to say. He was worried about her.

"You will see a doctor at the next town." he told her." We will see what's wrong with you then we can take care of the problem." Airen tried not to let her hear the worry in his voice.

"I probably just have a virus, I mean it was very cold when we were crossing the mountains..." she commented, putting her hands on his arms that were around her.

"It should be gone after a while, no need to worry..." she said and smiled.

"Okay!" he mumbled," If your not better by the time we rech the next town, we're going to have you checked out. Agreed?" He gave her a stern and worried look.

Elena sighed and nodded. "Agreed," she said quietly and stayed there, enjoying his arms around her.

"Okay, we can go back to being lazy," she told him with a smile.

Airen carried Elena back to the tent and laid her down gently. " I think we could both use some rest." he said sleepily as he stretched his arms and yawned.

Within a few moments Airen was in deep sleep.




***Airen's Dream***

Airen opens his eyes and he is surrounded by great flames. "Where am I?" he mumbled. He looked around but there was no where to go. He began walking towards the fire. The wall of flame moved back as he walked towards it.

Out of the flame walked a young man. Airen noticed that the boy looked a lot like himself. "Who are you?" Airen asked. "Can you help me?"

The man continued walking towards him. "Don't you recognise me?" he said. " I'm you...only stronger."

Airen looked at him with a confused look. "You're me?" he asked. "How is that possible?"

The man laughed," Well in a way I'm you. I'm part of you. You created me."

Airen didn't understand what he was talking about. He wasn't making any sense. Now another man walked out of the fire. It was someone he recognised. "Gargon" Airen muttered. " But how?"

The demon began laughing and from behind him walked out another man. It was Airen's father. Airen's face shown with great surprise. Airen was lost in this unnkown and eveil world.

Just when Airen thought it couldn't get any worse, The flames split as did the men, and out walked a beautiful woman. To his surprise she was holding a baby. He knew who the woman was. It was Shea. Airen didn't know what to do. All he could do was stare at them in shock. Shea walked up to him and smiled. "Would you like to see your child?" she asked mockingly. Airen looked at Shea then when looked down at the baby he saw a hideous creature. Airen jumped back. He fell to his knees and began wailing. "That's not my child! That's not my child"

******

He jumped up dripping sweat. He was screaming" No..no no no... that's not my child."

Elena looked up at Airen as he sat up straight practically screaming "No... no....no... no.... that's not my child!" What on earth could make him scream so.

"Airen," she said in her calm sweet voice, hoping it would sooth him. "Airen what's wrong?"

Airen jumped and stumbled outside the tent. He heard a soft voice calling out to him. "Airen" it said " Airen what's wrong?" He looked around but couldn't see anything. It was completely black.

"Who are you?" He called out to the voice. But he still couldn't see and the voice was fading. He felt himself falling and then his mind left him completely.

"Airen its me!" Elena said, coming out of the tent and following him the short distance he made. "Airen!"

He didn't see to recognise her voice. It worried her as he stumbled around like he was blind. Then he fell to the ground with a thud.

Elena gasped, covering her mouth and unconciously putting a hand to her stomach. She ran to him, kneeling down beside his unconcious form.

"I don't understand," whispered, puting her hand to his forehead. "What's going on..."

Airen opened his eyes and saw a dark sky full of stars. He sat up quickly and realized that someone was lying on his chest he looked down and saw Elena. "What happened?" he whispered with a trembling voice.

Elena gasped and sat up quickly, wiping her hair from her face. "I-I don't know!" she said feverishly. "It just happened. You were saying something about a child and... and then you got up and ran and then... you just fell over... I was so worried..."

Airen looked at her startled expression. She seemed even more confused than he was. Then a terrible thought hit him.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" he asked.
