Cloudya changed into a blue gown that matched her eyes and took her hair down allowing it to tumble in soft curls down her back. She stepped out from behind the curtain and smiled seeing what Darren had done.

Darren was already sitting at the table when she came out. he stood quickly though to get her chair for her.

Meriana, May and Gold Dusk were all at dinner. Meriana was tired again. she had this unnatural tiredness she was feeling. she couldnt explain it. but she didn't tell anyone about what she was feeling.

Cloudya sat dwon allowing him to do as he liked.

Darren seated her then seated himself. he had already brought what food they had to the table.
he smiled at her not saying a word.

Meriana reached across the table for a bread roll then stoped. she put her hand to her forehead and steadied herself by grabing the table. she looked around hoping no one would notice.
May looked at her. " Meriana...you ok?" she asked noticing what just happend.
Meriana smiled. " i'm fine.." she said lying through her teeth.

Gold Gusk had been watching Meriana since they had come to dinner. "Meriana ... "Gold Dusk said as he leaned close to her. "Don't lie ... it's unbecomming. What's wrong?" He asked.

"Since we picked her up the first time or just a few hours ago?" He asked pulling her close.

Cloudya felt her face go hot and she looked away.

_________________

Darren noticed Cloudya blushing. he had hardly touched any food, he grabed a tart off of the tray that sat in the middle of the table.

" since we first picked her up." Meriana said feeling very dizzy again. she grabed onto Gold Dusk trying to steady herself.

"Easy ... easy" He said steadying her. "You were fine earlier when it was just you and me at the stream." He tucked a few things intp a small pack and stood up. "Come walk with me." He glanced around noticing several other couples leaving as well so he didn't feel as guilty.

"To find May ... She left a few minutes ago, but you didn't notice did you?" He said nodding toward the empty place.

Cloudya had taken some soup, but had hardly touched it.

Meriana looked around. " n-no i didn't notice. " she took a step and then fell to the ground. " whoa..dizzy spell. i'm sorry." she said joking it off. she knew something had to be wrong though.

Darren tried to start up a conversation. " so...how long have you lived here?" he asked her. trying to make things less awkward

Gold Dusk picked Meriana up and headed into the tree line. "Dizzy spell my hind hoof." He said before reliseing he had used a centar saying. "Humm ... I din't think I can say that anymore..." He said thoughtfully.

"I've been here sence I was 12... That was when I was bonded to Altadon." She looked up at him.

Darren nodded. " thats a long time." he said searching for something else to talk about.

" Gold dusk...please. i'll be ok..." she said. " and yes.. now you would say. my leg..or something to that matter." she started laughing and then started coughing. she doubbled over and started coughing up blood.

Gold Dusk watched in horror as she started coughing up blood. He took off at a dead runn for the Old Ones's hutt. "Meriana don't you leave me ... you hear me!!!" He said holding her tightly.

Meriana continued coughing up blood. it seemed like she couldnt stop. " gold Dusk...what's going on." she managed to say.
