"You shouldn't have to choose..." Eva whisperered, sheltering her love and stroking her hair, "Oh, Shana..." The woman trailed off and kissed her forehead, closing her eyes and just keeping her close.

Shana sobbed quietly, miserable at the choice she had to make. What was she going to tell her father? "I don't know if I can face father and tell him that he has to go," she whispered. "I don't know how he'll react."
Eva held her tightly, "I can telll him." She said softly, "It's my fault he needs to leave; I callled for being nuetral.... I'm part of the reason we're in this war. I will tell him for you." She didn't like seeing Shana cry, the woman holding her tightly and stroking her tears away, "Shana, I'm so sorry for all of this..."

Shana nodded, blinking the tears from her eyes. "It's alright. I understand. You made the right choice, keeping us neutral." She smiled up at her love. "After all, your people are on one side of the conflict, and mine are on the other. If we chose to fight, one of us would be fighting our own people. So your choice was good."
Eva gave a weak smile, stroking her tears away and kissing her forehead, "I'm glad you think so." She whispered, pulling Shana into her arms and holding onto her. She didn't feel like this was a good choice at all; SHana's father had to leave, and Eva had a strongfeeling that whateverns eh called for was going to be disturbed rather quickly.

Shana took a deep breath and finally stepped back. "I...I think you'd better go tell my father," she said at last. "I'll tend to our garden until you come back. Is that okay?"
Eva nodded, "TYhat's fine... I love you." She whispered, "I'll be back..." She trailed off, giving a gentle kiss to her lips befor epulling away and slipping away to speak to her father.

Lariel was outside, standing at the edge of the cliff overlooking the pass below. Several bodies, belonging to the soldiers Eve had killed with her powers, dotted the pass. The big elf didn't turn as Eve approached.
Eva slowly crossed to him, "Mr. Lariel?" She asked softly.

Lariel turned to her and smiled. "Ah, Eve. I'm glad to see you. How is my daughter holding up?"
Eve sighed, "She's doing well, sir.... But I'm afriad I have bad news." The girl bit her lip and met his eyes, "Because.... Because of us voting to remain nuetral.... We can't have anyone but students on campus. I'm sorry." She whispered.x

Lariel sighed and rubbed at his eyelids with thumb and forefinger, looking exhausted. "I knew this would have to be, of course. You will give my love to Shana? I doubt either of us could handle it if I came to say goodbye." He suddenly reached out and placed his hands on Eve's shoulders, looking her in the eye. "You keep my daughter safe, do you understand? You don't let anything or anyone harm her."
"I will tell her." Eve whispered, "I already told her that this had to happen..." She trailed off, his pain wafting off of him and making her heart ache, "I will tell her." When he placed his hands on her hsoulders and spoke, Eve met his gaze, "I won't let anyone lay a finger on her. If anything happens to her, I would die." She informed softly, "Shana means too much to me; her being harmed will cause more pain to her assaliants than to her."

Lariel nodded, satisfied. "Then I will waste no more of your time. Goodbye, Eve, and take care." With that, he turned and headed for the slope that would lead down into the pass, taking him back into elf territory...and away from his beloved daughter.
"Good bye... And thank you for your trust and helping. As soon as the war is over, or we return home, SHana and I will write." Eve said softly as he left. The woman didn't return to her love for several long minutes, staring down at the bodies of the fallen soldiers. The soldiers she killed. It hurt to think she did such a thing... Without a word, the human slipped back to Shana and her own garden, moving to hug the elf.

Shana was kneeling in the garden, singing to convince some plants to grow. She felt Eve come up and turned, letting the taller girl fall into her embrace. "Are you alright?" she asked softly, ears drooping. "I feel sadness in you." Like all elves, she had a natural empathy for all living creatures, especially those she loved.
"I'm fine." Eve whispered, "As fine as I can be after speaking with your father. He was looking at the bodied... The... The soldiers I killed. He made me promise to protect you... I said as soon as it is safe for us students, we'll write to him." The human brought Shana closer, breathing deeply and shaking her head, "I feel like such a rotten person now. Most... If not all... of this is my fault. I won't be surprised if any of the other students try to kill me." The water fountain was beginning to freeze over, Eve holding tighter as sh watched the water solidify, "I am supposed to heal, not hurt."

"Eve, no!" Shana replied, stepping back. She reached up to cup her lover's face with her hands. "You've done more to protect this school than anyone else. Those soldiers were coming here to attack us. They shot at students on the bridges! You were just defending them." The elf stepped back in, pressing her face against Eve's shoulder as she embraced her. "I refuse to let you blame yourself. It wasn't you, or me, or anyone here. It's the soldiers who are at fault."
Eve stared at Shana with her sad eyes, the woman whimpering faintly and pressing her face against Shana's hands, "What if they come back? I made us be nuetral. They're going to fight u..." She whispered, hugging onto the woman and closing her eyes.

"We'll fight to defend our home," Shana whispered back. "And we'll win." Standing on her tiptoes, the short girl kissed Eve on the lips. "I know you'll protect us." She kissed Eve again, hungrily.
