Alanna's back

Right after 'Song of the Lioness'

Alanna, George and Coram were on their way back to Corus. It was a week after Alanna and George were betrothed and now it was the Palaces turn to hear the good news. They would be there a little before sunset.

At the palace:

The three riders came to the gate "who's there?"

"Lady Knight Alanna, the Kings Champion, Baron George of the Pirates Swoop and Coram Smithson" said Alanna and pulled her hood back.

"Lioness" the soldier bowed and let them in.

George looked at Alanna and smiled "Now ye're home again, lass."

She looked at him and smiled, "yeah now I'm home. It's definitely my home to we're married."

"Alanna!" Gary and Raoul came running. She smiled and dismounted.

"Gary, Raoul!" Gary gave her a bonecrushing hug "Gary – I – can't – breath" he grinned and let her go.

"What? May I not greet you welcome home?"

She grinned "Not if it means you must strangle me!" She walked back to George and turned to Raoul. "Raoul aren't you happy to see me" she made a hurt look "I'm hurt!"

"No you're not" Raoul walked over to her and gave her a hug, he grinned. "You're lying and you aren't good to it"

She looked up at him "Yes, I'm lying. But it was the try worth it" She grinned and clapped him on the arm.

George laid his arms around her, "what do you say to go to our rooms now? We must have our things unpacked too."

She looked up at him and grinned "OK"

"let's begin" he turned to their horses.

"Where are our things?! It was here a minute ago!" Alanna turned around to Coram "and where is Coram?"

Gary grinned "Coram took the things saying something about you most likely would take a while to be ready to stop talking, and that it would be cruel to the horses to stand with the things so long."

Alanna raised an eyebrow "and we couldn't order somebody to do it? He isn't my servant and neither is he my squire!" When she said the last few words was her voice very cold.

Gary backed a little "don't look at me like that! It isn't my fault, it was his decision. Now go up to your rooms." He looked at Raoul "We better go back to work. Bye!" With a last wink to Alanna and George he went into the Palace, and back to the reports.

"Well, I better go back to work as well." And with that went Raoul in direction of the Kings Own barracks with a wink over the shoulder.

Alanna smiled "Well we are here and have been greeted welcome."

"Let us come up to our rooms and rest to tomorrow" he smiled, sneaked his arm around her waist and let her to their rooms.

Alanna yawned and smiled "Good night, I'm going to bed now" and changed to nightshirt.

George began to change "good night my dear."

The next morning Alanna woke and laid a little and looked at George. After moment she removed his arm from her waist and stood up finally a night with a real bed she stretched and began to get dressed. When she was done she went to the dressing room to wash her face. She looked at George he looks so peaceful she sighed I wonder how Jon will react to our engagement. Will he get mad? Fells betrayed? She shook her head No! Bad thought Alanna! Stop thinking like that! She hurried out. A little practice may take my concentration. She hurried out to the practice courts, and began her morning practice.

Meanwhile:

Jon waked a little before sunrise. He loked at Thayet Mithros she's so beautiful.

But what about Alanna, violet eyes, silksoft hair… said a irritating voice.

No! It's over between us. I love Thayet now, not Alanna! Thayet!

But why do you so miss Alanna so much and why don't you fell the same way like you do with Thayet?

Jon sat up and stood out of the bed. I'm going to the practice courts… He began to get dressed and threw water in his face. Then he went to the practice courts.

So this is the first chapter. I will update soon if I get 15 rewiews.
