She thought he would understand.~ You can't tell me that you wouldn't feel guilty too. It wouldn't make sense. And we can't be together, it's not possible. How did we even get into all of this? I never meant to hurt you, and I never meant to upset you or cause any pain. But you and I both know that it could never be. Too many painful memories dwell within each of us and we can't push those aside. ~She looks at him with the same pain in her eyes as he had.~ Please, tell me you understand.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: ~Understanding.~ Author: Jewel [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:28:22 08/12/02 Mon Maxximus, I know how it is to be alone. When our mother died as a result of our father beating her, Diamond and I were seperated. We had to hide from our father. And no matter what we did, we could not be together, or else he would find us and kill us both. No, we wanted each other to live, so we went our seperate ways until we were reunited again here at Diablo Isle. I was alone that entire time, from being a young dragoness of 30 years of age, to being a full-blown adult, and you don't need to know my age now. ~She manages a weak smile.~ But as you can see, I made it through, shining with bright colors. And Diamond did too. You need to be strong now, Maxximus. And you cannot convince yourself that you have nobody, because we are still family. Just because I do not love you as a wife does not mean I cannot love you as a sister-in-law. You cannot fool yourself into thinking that the only way to be happy is to have a mate and hatchlings. You will always find friends and family here. But right now, you need to get out there and find yourself a mate if you really want one, and have some hatchlings. But I will not be your quick-fix mate. If you do not find a mate right away, you could adopt. Your life is in your hands, Maxximus, and it is what you make of it. I hope you understand my reasoning, because it really does make sense. And it would not make sense for us to be together. ~She looks at him, then into the night sky. She was tired of reasoning, and she hoped now that he would understand fully what it is like to live. Loneliness helped her be who she is today, and it will help him understand life, and help him to get a little bit more open minded.~ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

There is no need to be alone anymore." *Nuzzles him gently* "I'm sorry I was away so long." (OOC: Actually, I couldn't get on for the longest time, I'm so sorry! First my family moved, then we couldn't get signed up for the internet, the my mom was diagnosed with cancer... let me just say a lot has been going on... if you want I can just leave Maxx alone, but I really want to try to get back what they had. It was wonderful. *Player smiles*) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Don't blame it on yourself. It's my own fault for turning him down. That's what sent him packing. He'd still be here if not for my own insecurities and faults. I'm sorry Diamond. Maybe he will return. ~She sits down and puts her head in her hands. She knew that she shouldn't have turned him down so suddenly.~ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It was his choice to leave. I never kicked him out. I just made him listen to reason. And you never meant to leave either. He left first, remember? A long time ago, and you missed him. Then you left. It's his life, Diamond, and he chose to leave two important members of his family behind. ~She takes a deep breath.~ And we can't go around thinking that he'll never be back, ever again. There is no guarantee that he'll be back, but there's no guarantee that he left for good either. We need to stop being so blind, Diamond, and open our eyes to both sides of our problem.

She was very happy that they were together again, but she had wished that Maxximus had listened to reason in the first place, and not take it like he did. She was disappointed that he couldn't see the logic in her words. She decided to speak up while he was there. Her voice gentle, she begins.~ Maxximus, I'm sorry if what I said hurt you in any way, but what you don't know is that you hurt me even more than I ever hurt you. Your feelings toward me were not real. You convinced yourself to like me just because I was there. And imagine if I played along with your emotions. Imagine where we would be if Diamond came back and we were mates. Do you see where I'm going here? She would be hurt and betrayed, and I know that she would lose respect for the both of us. ~She stops and thinks of what she is saying before she continues.~ I'm not saying this just because of your false feelings. The main reason why I wanted to say something to you is because of how you took the reason I gave you for not loving you "that way." You wouldn't understand. You should have understood. I thought that you, of all dragons, would understand because of your love you had for Diamond when you were together before. It was so wrong for you to like me that way, that I could hardly believe it was real. You can't say now that you're hurt by these words because if you had listened to reason in the first place none of this would have happened. You should be grateful that Diamond came home. You won't be lonely now. ~She, feeling used and misunderstood, took her leave to the rear of the lair, sitting at the table, watching her daughters playing on the floor. She was very unhappy at the moment. She should be rejoycing with Diamond, Maxximus, Keaira, Levlynn, Leila, and Fiona right now for Diamond's return. But now that this whole situation has arisen, she feels like being alone with her daughters.~ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

She glances outside the cave, noticing the heavy rain that has begun to fall* "I missed you so, I'm terribly sorry, but I need to think. Think about your actions, as well as mine. If you choose to leave me yet again, my decision is made. If you choose to hurt me, my decision is made. If you choose to wait patiently, my decision is made." *She turns and walks slowly out of the lair. She reaches the cool air of the outdoors and continues down the ledge, feeling the icy rain chill her* (don't worry, she's not gone for good, she's just going outside for the context of the story :P) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

She leaves her sister to think, but feels awful that she had spoken to Maxximus in such a manner in front of Diamond. She shakes her head in spite of herself, staying in her current position at the table to think everything through. She owed an apology to both Diamond and Maxximus.~ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
