Keladry of Mindelan was feeling a bit lonely ever since Dom was sent to the southern border she was still stack on the northern border while the peace talks were in progress, but at least she was in the company of her childhood hero, Lady Knight Alanna of Pirate swoop also known as the Lioness of Tortall, in fact at this moment Kel was walking out to the practice yard were Alanna was waiting to duel with her.

'Ah there you are Kel I thought you might have run of, but what do you have to be scared of? I'm just a little old lady, you could beat me easily, or could you?' Alanna teased trying to get Kel angry knowing that you can't fight when you're angry

'Good afternoon to you to Alanna and what makes you think I would run away? I have no doubt that you will be a tough opponent, but I will beat you today!' Kel said in return. Kel knew of what Alanna was trying to do and she knew that it wouldn't work. Kel had leant how to keep her cool when someone was trying to aggravate her.

'Well if we have finished talking then can we get on with the duel?' asked Neal. Nealan of Queenscove was one of Kel's friends and had been the one who helped Kel get through her page years and had also been the man of Kel's dreams. That was until she met Dom. Domitan of Masbolle Was one of the King's Own they are like a small army of about 20 who are sent of to protect the kingdom and the King's reputation. Dom was also Neal's cousin.

At last Kel and Alanna stood in the middle of the practice yard waiting for the signal to begin, and there it was Kel and Alanna circled each other then brought their swords together with a clash. Finely Kel would be able to fight her hero and see who was better.

Half an hour later and Finely Kel gave up she would never beat Alanna. Kel saluted Alanna with her sword and then collapsed to the ground panting, followed not long after by Alanna who was breathing almost as deep as Kel her self.

'Ok that is it. We're through let's call it a draw? You know the last time I faced an opponent as good as you it was Duke Roger of Conte now that was a hard opponent' Alanna shrived at the memory.

Kel's attention was ales where and Alanna had to wave her hand in front of the girl's face to get her to agree on the draw. The crowd of onlookers let out a cheer for both the knights at the conclusion.

The thing that had court Kel's attention before was the tall red head standing in amongst the crowd staring at her. Cleon of Kennan was the first man to have kissed Kel on the lips. After Kel had gotten her amour of she decided she would go for a stroll in between the tents and out to the lake to watch the sun set.

She sat there watching in silence and listening for foot steps behind her she closed her eyes and waited then there of to her left, there was some one coming, closer now then Kel felt his cool hand on her neck she felt her hart start pumping faster and faster her berth coming short to lungs she felt him come around to kiss her then thought of what this might do to her relationship with Dom and what about Cleon's wife? No we shouldn't be doing this.

'No Cleon this isn't right what about your wife?'

'What about her? I never wanted to marry her to start with, and I have been denied your body for to long!' and with that he forced her onto her back and kissed. Then he slowly undid the buttons on her shirt while holding her hands above her head out of the way.

Kel struggled but she was still tired from the duel with Alanna and was too week to fight him of then from nowhere he pulled out some rope and a gag Looks like he came prepared for a struggle he continued to tie her hands up while kissing her to keep her quiet then once her hands had been dealt with he gagged her and Kel knew that this was it she would be raped and it was her own fault for leading him away from people she should have stayed in her tent were some one could here her scream.

It was midnight when some one finely stumbled upon her cold unconscious naked body

"Kel! Kel?"

Some one was calling her out of her dream. Why? She was at home again with the birds cheeping in the background she had sitting in the blue nursery playing with a baby. The baby had been crying when Kel got there but had stopped when Kel started to play with her. She was a new baby that Kel had never met before but the baby seemed to recognize Kel as a friend.

"Kel!"

There was that voice again but where did it come from? It sounded like it came from every direction but how could that be?

"I think she's waking up!" Kel can you hear me?"

"Yes" That was the sound of her own groggy voice "Yes I can hear you! What happened? Where am I?" that was when her memory of the night before came flooding back.

Kel looked up into the familiar faces that were staring down at her all of them worried. Then Dom lent over so Kel would focus only on him.

"Kel do you remember anything?" Dom's voice was gentle and his face caring as he questioned her

"Yes" Kel's voice was quiet and came out as a croak so she cleared her throat and tried again but she couldn't then someone passed her a canteen of water, she had a sip then tried again this time she could and did say "Yes every thing!"

"Can you tell us what happened?" That wasn't Dom, Kel looked past him to Alanna. Alanna's face was on of sorrow she did not know how it was to be raped but she tried to understand

Suddenly Kel felt angry. How dare Alanna try to understand? Kel didn't know why she thought this but it made her angry she dropped her Yamani face to show her anger "No get out" Kel yelled startling all those gathered around "Just go away! Now!" at that last word everyone left and Kel was left to her own thoughts. Kel stayed in that dark lonely mood for 1 month even after she had gotten out of the infirmity. She wouldn't talk to any body and if they came near her she walked away, She was never seen out in the light and she never lit the candles in her tent.

"Kel is that you?" Neal had been walking by Kel's tent in the early morning when he heard someone. He walked around to the back of the tent to find Kel kneeling in what looked like Kel's supper from that night "Kel are you ok? What is wrong?" Neal put a hand on her shoulder she was trembling and looked white but that could have been from the poor light. "Come inside were I can get a better look at you" And with that Neal dragged Kel to her feet and helped her into her tent then lit the candles so he could see "Now what is wrong?" Neal said as he finished lighting the last candle and turned to see her
