A/N: I am sorry but I don't have the book with me so I will not put the beginning in word by word from the book.
P.S: nothing belongs to me; the characters belong to Sherwood Smith.

Vidanric's pov
BEGIN:
We were racing now, Meliara was at my side, I have to admit she was pretty good rider. I thought to myself, yes, she is a pretty good rider, but she also looks pretty good. It started to rain sometime ago. I was glad I had my rain proof cloak to keep my clothes dry, but Meliara looks sucked. She looked my way, and our eyes locked, then she just starts to laugh. I could tell by the look on her face and from the sound of her voice, that she laughed for pure joy. My heart started to pound faster, seeing her happy, wishing that she would laugh for joy in my company. But that would never happy because she hates me; she hates me with all her guts. And I, I love her, no matter what happens or said between us, I lover her, and that will never change.
"Shevraeth, watch out…," the cry came from Meliara. I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't realize were I was going. I looked up in time to see I was heading for a tree on the side of the path. I was just able to move aside but my house lost its footing and I fell of the house. I landed on my left hand.
I heard a gasp behind my and a few minutes later Meliara was by my side. "Burn it, are you ok?" I tried to get up, but in stead I cried out in pain for I was leaning on my left arm. How humiliated I was.
I felt Meliara put her hands around my shoulder and carefully help me sit up. My heart gave a pang. When I look at her, all I could see on her face was that she was worried. There was no hatred or anger, when she looked at me now, only concern. Meliara is worried for me, me! "I think it's my arm."
A frown came over her beautiful face, "well we can't stay in middle of the road," Meliara said. "Can you walk over to that tree?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at that, "it's my arm that's broken not my legs." Apparently it was the wrong thing to say, anger shout through her face. I quickly made sure my face was blank.
"Life! Sorry for asking, then!" she snapped at me. She got up and went to tend to the horses. I also got up, went to the tree Meliara had pointed at, and sat down. Meliara walked over and tied the horses to the tree than come over to me and sat down.
We sat there in an awkward silence for sometime, than Meliara said "let me see it." For a second I was confused I didn't know what she was talking about. I shifted a bit to let her get closer to my arm. As she examined my arm a slight frown curved its way on her face. She gently traced my left arm with her hand, shivers ran down my spine. "I think it's broken" I nodded.
"Do you have something to use as a sling?" I shock my head. She looked so concern, "do you think you can ride." I laughed "I'm pretty sure I could. And plus you shouldn't be worried about me being able to ride." Meliara looked taken aback at that so I quickly continued. "You see, it will be I who will win the race broken arm or not." I couldn't help but be amused at Meliara's expression, she gasp, "Life, I forgot." She stood up and with a hearty laugh said "we'll see about that," and quickly went to get the horses.
Still chuckling, I gracefully got up, Meliara brought the horses over to me she made sure I was on properly and then before I could do anything she stock out her tongue and was of. I couldn't believe her, she stock her tongue out at me. I couldn't help but laugh. I urged me horse to catch up with her, now we were side by side again. She looked over at me and our eyes locked, my heart gave a pang. She smiled at me and urged her horse to go faster. My heart gave another pang. Then I smiled, Meliara, yes, we'll see and I will win.
