Stupid maude why couldn't she have just let me and thom switch places.
Alanna of trebond thought as she rode to the convent. She had wanted to
become a knight not a silly lady. She was going to switch places with thom
her brother who had wanted to become a great sorcerer at the city of the
gods where alanna was headed now. But they told maude their nurse their
plan and she was totally against it she made sure that alanna went with her
to the convent and thom to the palace with coram. "alanna, stop daydreaming
we have arrived."maude told alanna. Alanna looked around. "I have to stay
here for the next 8 years? I'm going to go crazy! Goddess! This is horrible
it's nothing but gray!"alanna said. "come now, you'll get used to it, now
you had better behave proper I'll be back in three months." Maude said as
she lead allanna to the large door. "ah I presume you are alanna of
trebond." The first daughter said as she welcomed them inside. "yes this is
alanna, now she'll probably be very stubborn you see she doesn't think it
neccasary for girls to become ladies shed rther to mens work."maude said.
"oh dear well it will be a hard journey but she'll be a lady in no time."
The daughter answered. Alanna just stood there and grumbled
Months past, since alanna first came to the convent, she was forced to where dresses, and learn to dance and sew and use magic. It drove her crazy, it didn't help that the other girls constently talked about her saying she was a disgrace. But one day when alanna was giving up any hope of getting out of the convent she heard some of the other girls talking. "It's absolutly horrible I just found out at 2 in the morning we are totally vulnerable to attack." The first girl said. "really how?" another one said. "oh well at 2 the gaurds switch shifts and there is no one one guard for fifteen minutes that's all it akes for someone to get in or out." The first girl replied. The other girls whispered excitedly but alanna didn't need to hear anymore. A plan was forming in her head. Alanna decided as she got to her room the the next day she would run from the convent. The next day she wondered if the daughters suspected anything because, alanna was over joyed and happy the whole day not once day did she grumble about how stupid her classes or assignments were. The daugthers didn't didn't suspect a thing they just congradulated themselves about finnaly getting through the untameable trebond girl.
After supper alanna went straight to her room, she pulled out one of her saddle bags and put all her breeches and shirts in then her shoes and bow and arrows which she had brought from home but had never been allowed to use. She then tucked the bag underneath her bed and snuggled under her covers.
At 1:30 she awoke again and got dressed she put her cloak for it was still very cold in the mountains and put on her softest leather boots she grabbed her bags and crept out the door. Tip-toeing through the halls she reached the door outside finding it was locked and that she couldn't open it with her gift she moved to one of the windows which was also locked but she could open it with her gift. Alanna put her bags down first then climbed out, it was nearly 2, time for the switch. She ran to the stables and saddeled chubby her pony. She lead him towards the door then realised she would be heard coming from the sound of chubby's hooves. She grabbed some cloth and covered each hoove with some then set out again. It was time she could see the guard leaving his post. 'it's now or never' she thought. Alanna climbed onto chubby's back and they were off, racing as fast as she could, she only slowed her pace when they could barley see the convent. "free at last" alanna said outloud.
