Oh my what a great 2 chapters. So Horatio is experiencing a woman's scorn. I am sure Horatio will be able to make it up to Ehliena, but it sounds like it will take some time, do they have time? What a beautiful planet you described too.

Nice chapter Lucy but I am with Gonsy worrying about this pain they are in.... Ehliena is hurting because Horatio hasn't told her everything and Horatio is hurting because he can feel her hurt and knows he has to talk to her but for some reason cannot cover that ground.....so maybe he does need some help from Deanna.

So - you think Horatio needs help...? Enjoy Lucy Chapter 64 Horatio.The quiet call lifted him for a moment until he realised the voice was not Ehliena’s. Yes?It’s Deanna… What’s wrong?Horatio remained silent. He didn’t want to talk about something he had to fix by himself. Deanna pushed him for an answer. It’s nothing; I’m just thinking a few things through. I’m sorry if I disturbed you.Don’t you push me away Horatio – and don’t think I believe you when you say nothing. I know d**n well that something is not right down there. Ehliena has spent half the day turned so tightly inward that no-one can get close to her, your arrival should at least have helped her to relax.Horatio sighed, she’s asleep – told me that she was tired and that she was going to bed.Did you actually speak to her at all when you woke up?She didn’t want to talk.[/color] It was Deanna’s turn to sigh, Horatio, I know that you’ve only just become human and that you’re still getting used to your emotions, but right now Ehliena is feeling very hurt and upset about what has happened. If you don’t speak to her, you will drive her away completely.Horatio swallowed, he could sense the turmoil in Ehliena’s mind – but what should he talk to her about? Why was she feeling hurt? He hadn’t done anything to hurt her – had he? She thought you trusted her Horatio.But I do trust her…So why did you hide your problems away? Why didn’t you tell her that you were returning to your Symehk form?I didn’t want to burden her – she had enough to cope with… Horatio paused and suddenly realised what Deanna was getting at. I don’t want to wake her – I’ll talk to her in the morning.Ehliena’s not asleep Horatio… Her mind is turning over like crazy… Don’t wait too long.A featherlike kiss floated across Deanna’s cheek making her smile. Oh, Horatio… Turn your shielding on. The rest of the crew and Ba’ku will not be affected by your emotions – but I will.You think that I should… Tonight!Deanna raised her eyes to the ceiling. Of course not! But Ehliena is certainly going to let her emotions get the better of her – and I certainly don’t want to be on the receiving end.Horatio blushed at his misunderstanding of Deanna’s words. Thanking the counsellor for her advice, he began to walk back to the small ‘house’ that Geordi and his engineers had built. Pausing at the door he activated the shields and went inside.

Oh my, glad that Deanna contacted Horatio, so now he knows and can he fix this? Of course he can, he is after all Horatio. So how will he fix it? Great chapter, can't believe it is almost over.

He's really going to have to talk quick just to even get her to listen, but I agree with Deanna, when Ehliena finally does talk, I don't want to be on the receiving end either.
Sorry to see the end coming this week, Lucy. You have a great story here that has kept me hooked from the first chapter. Terrific two chapters, Lucy. Can't wait to see how Horatio gets himself out of this one.
Your friend NV Oracle

So.... Can Horatio get in touch with his 'human' side and talk to Ehliena? Enjoy Lucy Chapter 65 “Ehliena.” The empath closed her eyes at the sound of Horatio’s voice, afraid to answer him in case she over-reacted and said something she would regret. “Sweetheart, please… I need to talk to you.” Ehliena felt the phantom caress across her shoulders, “Horatio please… don’t.” “So you are awake. I wasn’t sure. Will you please tell me what’s wrong?” Ehliena sat up, her face a myriad of emotions “What makes you think that something is wrong? I told you, I’m just tired.” Horatio swallowed and sat down on the bed next to her, “Ehliena, every time something wasn’t quite right between us, or you were afraid that you might say or do something out of place, you pushed me away. After I told you how I felt, you slowly let me in. Now I feel as if you’re not just pushing me away, but running away.” “What do you expect? I never hid anything from you.” Ehliena bit her lip and turned away. “If you had told me what was happening we might not be here right now.” Horatio sighed, Deanna had been right – but he was not surprised by that now. He was surprised by the bitterness in Ehliena’s voice. Catching hold of her hand, he winced as Ehliena flinched at his touch. “I didn’t want you to get hurt.” “Well you certainly got that wrong.” Horatio was stunned by the scathing remark. He had never heard Ehliena speak to anyone in that way, he had occasionally seen her annoyed, even slightly angry, but she had never spoken to anyone harshly in the time he had known her. “Ehliena, please let me explain.” She turned to face him and Horatio saw the pain in her eyes. “I didn’t tell you because I myself didn’t think it was a problem. The more time we spent together the better I felt, the more complete in my human form.” “When you began to stay overnight, I knew it was only a matter of time before I could renew myself. I thought it would be enough. Just holding you while we slept was already helping. The warning signs were there, but I ignored them.” Ehliena began to relax a little, not quite sure that she could believe him, but wanting to. “But surely there must have been a point when you realised…” Horatio nodded, “During the negotiations, I would suddenly feel myself weak, barely able to move my body – but my energy was straining to be released. It was building every day – getting stronger and stronger. Then I began to get concerned.” “So why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you.” Placing her hand on his cheek, Ehliena’s tearful voice betrayed her pain. Horatio dropped his head, “Mainly, because I thought I could deal with it alone. I also didn’t tell you because I knew you would offer to help and I couldn’t risk that.” “Why?” “Because if I couldn’t control the energy, it could hurt you. Maybe even kill you. I couldn’t let that happen. When the negotiations were over, I was planning on taking a holiday – just the two of us… Somewhere we could relax and I could, renew myself.” A tear slid down Ehliena’s cheek, “You should have told me anyway, we could have worked something out – I might have been able to help you more than you think.”
