"Come on Thom! I want to be a knight and you want to be a mighty magic guy so trade places!" Alanna screamed at her brother Thom. "No! It's too dangerous! What if you get caught? Or fall in love or even get boobs?" Thom replied. Alanna blushed and ran out of the room crying! Why does he have to be that why? Alanna asked herself. Sir Alan walked into the room with his nose in a book! He looked up when he heard Alanna crying! "What's wrong with you girl? You get to go be a women! You should be happy!" He walked out of the room without waiting for Alanna to respond!
The next day Alanna was all packed and she was waiting for Thom to come! When he finally came she had already started out! She didn't want to see all of Thom's new Daggers or his new sword again because he didn't want to be a knight but she did! It's not fair he gets to do all these things and I have to learn how to sew! I am never ever going to fall in love! Alanna them saw a little blur ran a cross the road she got off the horse and saw what it was! A rat! Oh how much Thom was afraid of rats! She used what little magic she know and had the magic make the rat look big ! When she heard her brother whistling as he rode down the path she thorough the rat and rode away! As she rode away she heard her brother screaming! That was how she remembered him!
She woke up by a knock at her door! Then someone started to scream "LADY ALANNA" That woke her right up! She opened the door! A servant stood there smiling "The mother would like to see you now!" The girl ran off! I wonder what she wants! Alanna thought to herself! When she reached the door of the office she knocked! The women called for her to come in! "oh Lady Alanna sit down! I wanted to see you because you have to leave to get married! Well you have to go to court!" Alanna smiled! Finally she thought Now I can be a warrior maiden! "well good bye Lady Alanna" As Alanna left she ran into her friend! "oh hi Freda! How are you?" " Oh Alanna we get to go to court to get some men!" "see you tomorrow!" At that Alanna ran down the hall!
Freda scared Alanna a little! She looked at all the girls with longing! She wasn't that graceful or that smart! Sometimes Alanna thought that Freda was flirting with her! But that couldn't be! Could it?
Was Freda gay?
