Elizabeth watched Donovan through teary eyes. She wanted to join him, but she couldn't move. Her body was frozen in place on the ground refusing to move. Her heart ached, as if someone has reached in and pulled it out of her chest.
Her new found husband, dead. No, he couldn't be, he was to strong to die so easily.
Refusing to believe he was dead Elizabeth stood and joined Donovan. She wrapped her slim arms around him and whispered hushing, tender words to him to calm him, rocking back and forth with him.

Donovan shivered when he felt arms slide around him. Her soft words helped calm him enough so he was no longer rocking back and forth. His sobbing subsided to the occasional cough though the tears continued to fall. It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair. Theo couldn't be dead. He just couldn't.

Elizabeth cried upon his shoulder sliently, not wanting to face anyone at that very moment. She could hear people mummering words that she refused to hear. She focused on Donovan's breathing, focusing on only that one thing. It soothed her and soon her tears slowed to a stop, but she kept her place next to Donovan, refusing to release him unless he asked it of her.

Donovan slowly lowered his hands from his head, wrapping them around Elizabeth's waist and holding her tightly. He buried his face into the crook of her neck, breathing in her smell. He focused on that and not the searing pain in his chest nor the feeling that his world was falling apart. She smelled like vanilla and Christmas cookies. He himself smelled a bit like Theo but where his brother's smell was tinted of freshly turned earth and spices, he smelled of a coffee shop.
((I got to go. crying crying crying crying crying ))

Elizabeth tensed slightly as she felt Donovan's arms wrap around her but she quickly calmed and enjoyed the embrace, willing it to sooth her ripping heart in her chest. Donovan's scent lingered into her nose. She noticed that the scent was close to Theo's but was off as he did not have the earthy spice scent that Theo did have, however she paid no mind to it and simply kept her eyes closed and blocked out everything in the outside world, locking herself into the safty of her mind.
((Aww that sucks, and it was getting so good T.T ill try to get on tomarrow when you do.))

((You'd have to be on earlier. The only reason I got on so late cause I didn't have school today and slept in... I think *doesn't remember what time she got up* ))
It took a while but Donovan finally managed to get himself under control. Taking a deep breath, he lifted his head but seeing the hole in the wreckage just brought all the pain back. Closing his eyes tightly, he pressed the side of his head to the side of Elizabeth's, tears trailing down his face.
No one went near them, giving them some time to compose themselves until one of the workers came over. Donovan could feel the awkwardness coming off him. "I-I'm sorry but .... We have to continue searching and...." Donovan knew what he was trying to say and nodded weakly. Reluctantly releasing Elizabeth, he shakily got to his feet.

Elizabeth released her hold on Donovan and let him stand to his feet and then she tried to stand herself. Her legs shoke vilently as she stood, barely holding her upright. She moved herself to the side so the workers could continue their search for any others. As she stood watching them she took a deep breath and swallowed the lump that was in her throat as tears continued to roll down her saddened face.
((Well okay, Ill try but my dad will be home so I dont know if I will be on or not.))

((Well, if we can't get on at the same time during the week, at least we can get on the same time on the weekends, hopefully. But hey! At least you can get on at all! I have missed you sooo much. *hugs* ))
Donovan stepped out of the way, walking to stand beside Elizabeth. He glanced down at her and, seeing the tears on her face, he gently clasped one of her hands in his. His hands weren't rough and callused like Theo's but still strong, like he'd spent his time doing lots of writing or playing musical instruments.

Elizabeth barely took notice of Donovan taking one of her hands in his. However she did tighten the hold, enjoying the smooth hand in her's. Soon her tears dried up and all that came from her where small sniffles.

Donovan continued to watch Elizabeth, watching as the tears stopped coming and dried on her skin. He felt hollow, as if something had been ripped out of him. When he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked over at his mother. He knew they would have to leave, to let the workers get on without searching for more people. Reluctantly, he followed his mother towards the doorway into the rest of the palace, gently pulling Elizabeth after him.

Elizabeth felt a small tug at her hand, leading her away from the wreckage. She hesitated for a moment but after a moment she slowly followed behind Donovan, her eyes staying locked onto the hole that the workers dug hurriedly at.

Donovan stared straight ahead, having to use all his willpower not to turn and run back. Theo, his big brother, his other half, was gone and nothing was going to bring him back.
He followed his mother into the palace, leading Elizabeth with him. They all paused at an intersection of hallways. Marie mumbled something about the media and walked off towards the front doors, leaving Donovan and Elizabeth alone.

Elizabeth removed her hand from Donovan's and stood there and stared holes in the floor at her feet. Tears began to once more form in her eyes, but not even with all her will power was she able to hold them back. Her heart pounded in her chest hard. The deep feeling of dreed ran through her blood as the sensation of lonliness filled her.

Donovan watched his mother walk away from turning his attention to Elizabeth. He let her hand drop from his, watching as tears started to fall down her face again. Frowning, he placed a hand on her back, between her shoulder blades. Much like Theo, before Elizabeth had come along, he had cut off ties with most people, choosing to lock himself in his room for hours on end rather than interact with people that would never accept him anyway.

Elizabeth began to shake lightly as the tears feel heavier. Theo was the only man she ever truely trusted other then her father. If what her heart was telling her was true, she was all along again in the world.
As Elizabeth felt a hand on her midback she looked up and stared deeply into Donovan's eyes, locking gazes with him.
