The wedding was over, and Neal and I are back at Haven. A few things have occurred while we were there. One Raoul and Brui are married, two Neal and Yuki's wedding is set and planned, third Dom was promoted apparently Flyndan retired (oh and here is news, Flyndan could have married but choose not to, who knew?), fourth Diane had a baby, last Scanra called for a peace treaty with one condition… they wanted me.

Of course I agreed… but the King, Queen, Prime Minister, General, Raoul, the Lioness, extra, immediately silenced me… I still insisted, and well I might have tried to sneak out and was on my way to the enemy camp when I ran into a late arrival part to the fort. Lucky me it was Dom and the third company. Now under orders from the King, and Raoul I am guarded twenty four seven by the third company. I am not allowed one hundred feet from my post… I should have been sneakier. I mean cant they see reason? One life for millions.

Currently Dom and I just had another argument of reason. It ended in me being locked in my quarters. I am so mad I could scream. But I wont because during our constant arguments I have developed a plan. One refugee is willing to assist me in me escape two guesses as to whom…

Valestone. Tonight is the night I have just finished my letters and left my will, they are in a neat stack on my desk. I dress myself in all black, and tie my now elbow length hair in a low ponytail at the nape of my neck. I am wearing black slippers for silence, and have weapon hidden in them. No other weapon protects me. The enemy has been camped around New Hope for three weeks now. It was now or never (I just received orders to return to Corus).

Night appeared and I opened my window slightly. Everyone was heading to the mess (minus my guard). I sent a sparrow to fetch Valestone (despite Diane's orders they remained loyal to me, Jump however did not…but he was with Dom right now). The sparrow returned with a tap on my hand, and so the show began.

I jumped out of the window and Valestone caught me. I gave him a stiff nod and headed to headquarters. Valestone went in first, I followed, we moved silently. The building was empty so I slipped into a certain black room with a certain hidden portal. I thanked Valestone and with a slight smile, and salute I jumped through. I had to move slowly so the guards did not catch me. I reached the forest with no problems.

I was almost caught by a scouting party, but climbing a tree saved me. Then I finally reached the hill between sides. I walked down the line with my stone face. An enemy sentry caught sight of me and blew his horn thus alerting the Tortalians. I heard Dom, Neal, Merric, and others all shouting my name. I turned and looked at them one last time.

"Be safe… I love you all." I mouthed stepping backwards, I was seized by enemy soldiers and the last thing I saw was Dom's face masked in fear and…and…

(Dom POV)

"Give her back!" Neal yelled for what the seventh time in two minutes? Yet his yell raised the refugees' shouts again. I could not speak as I watched the camp quickly packing up. I strongly resented my orders not to attack them no matter what.

They had knocked Kel out, and dragged her away while we watched. It was then that I was thrust back into my orders; Sir Raoul must be informed immediately. I quickly ran to my quarters and scribbled a note handing it off to Tobe who stood at my side. He knew what to do and took off like lightning. Meanwhile I hurried back to the wall and stared off into the camp all night, reluctant to let her out of my sight.

(Kel POV)

I woke up in pain. My eyes would not focus on my surroundings but I could feel. There was rhythmic bumping under me. I felt thin fur, a horse! I was draped over a horse. I focused to try to locate where the pain was. My back, my arms, and my head.

All I could think was what have I done?
