War

War

Neal let go of Kel to heal Cleon.

" No, " he protested. " The king will probably all healers and fighters. "

They all walked back to their horses in silence. Cleon trying not to scream from the pain. Neal trying to organize his thoughts and Kel figuring out what to do.

Once they were on their horses, Kel broke the silence. " How did a war start, again? " asked Kel.

He sighed and winced. " After I talked with Neal, I went looking in the city. I met up with a certain Prince named Vinson. "

Kel fell off Peachblossom. " She batted her eyelids at him. " What did you say? "

Neal got off his horse and helped Kel up. She mumbled a thanks. " Continue, " she ordered.

She gasped and fell off Peachblossom again. The horse neighed at her with concern. Her back was starting to hurt with stones poking her back everytime she fell. " Neal, " she pleaded helplessly.

The guys giggled until she shot daggers at them. Neal smiled and picked her up. The strong arms around hers were actually, very comforting.

" Vinson's a prince. "

Cleon held up a hand, to pause her. " Yes, he's a prince. After the servant left, he said he had a surprise for me. THe surprise were his best 5 swordsmen! " he exclaimed and threw up his arms in the air. " Kel's a better swordsman that me, so I thought I wasn't to make it. But I did fight and hurt all of them. Then Vinson, called them off. I asked him how he was a prince. He said it was for him to know and for us to find out. "

" Then he came closer and said he was starting a war. "

" Hang on, " Neal cut in, as they turned a corner. " Vinson swore allegiance to Tortall and it's King. So how can he betray us. "

" He never plays by the rules, Neal, " she hissed. Kel was starting to feel irritated by all the mishaps. " He a good-for-nothing person-of-a-prince. Did you warm King Jon? Raoul, or Roald? "

Cleon slapped his forehead. What a dolt, he was. " Let's hurry! We're almost there. "

A/N I thought it was about time to say that Kel and everyone is TP's characters. Oh well, on with the moving on stuff. Bye!
