Chapter 2

Kel walked to the mess with her Yamani mask in place. The refugees gave her greetings but she replied less cheerfully than normal. She got her breakfast from the cooks which consisted of a bowl of porridge and bread, and sat down next to Merric and Neal.

Kel stared at her food before starting on it- her eyes clouded with thoughts of the blue eyed sergeant.

"Kel" Neal said while waving his hand in front of her face

"What Neal!" she snapped glaring at him. Surprise crossed his face then concern for his friend

"Nothing. You just seemed distanced "he said with both arms up in surrender.

Kel's thoughts moved quickly from their conversation

How could I be so foolish in thinking Dom could ever like me. How delusional am I?

How could…….

The door opened to the mess, Kel's eyes flashed to the door. She breathed a sigh of relief when it was just a refugee.

Neal was watching Kel curiously, it was rare that Kel ever got angry and secondly it was strange that Kel was acting strangely. She never acts like this unless she has something on her mind. He was thinking of different possibilities.

She keeps looking towards the door, which means someone has annoyed her. Who does she get annoyed at……? I can't think of anyone lets try a different tactic, who annoys me who is not here…DOM!!! (And his squad)

"Are you looking for someone in particular?" Neal drawled to Kel after she looked towards the door again. She didn't reply. She glared instead.

"My cousin by any chance, that goes by the name of Dom. Who you are madly in love with?"

She felt a stab of pain when she heard his name. Kel kept her Yamani Mask in place, though just barely. But instead of replying in a calm voice, she snapped at Neal.

"No. The opposite really. His squad has been on the receiving end of your delightful cousins pranks"

"Delightful…." Neal said but shut up swiftly because Kel was giving him a glare again, though this time with more venom. She was not in the mood for his friendly tormenting. She had enough on her thoughts to cope with Neal's games. He always joked about to about how she was in love with someone, but little did Kel know that he knew who she actually liked. his cousin Dom.

"And how would you know this information?" Neal asked.

Kel didn't get to answer the question because Dom's squad came into the mess, all of them with a mixture of expressions on their faces. Ranging from gloom to embarrassment to anger. However these expressions were not seen because everyone's eyes were drawn elsewhere. Each of the men had bright pink hair and across their faces and any exposed areas of skin, had writing. As they approached Kel's table. The writing became clearer. There was two sets of handwriting, on in Dom's which consisted of

DOM IS THE BEST

WE R IDIOTS

DOM RULES!

The other handwriting however consisted of different phases.

WE (heart inserted her) Kel

PROTECTOR OF THE SMALL 4EVER

Kel RULES

Kel gulped as she realised that it was her writing.

"Not again" she thought repeatedly

For the first time in years she felt the urge to run away

"Kel" they said angrily

"I didn't do anything!" she blurted out.

Neal watched this confused. Kel never told them she didn't do it, she always did what a Yamani did, take anything without complaint and get revenge later.

"Of course you didn't" one of the men said sarcastically, he was a conservative and hated Kel, how he hadn't been killed yet by his fellow soldiers, Neal didn't know.

"I haven't been anywhere without witnesses to back me up….Ask Tobe if you don't believe me…he has been with me during the night and this morning" she said franticly.

"How do we know he isn't lying to us? Covering for you?"

"First he is a bad liar and secondly I never prank without a reason."

"What about when you stole all our clothes"

"Dom did that"

"Or when you shaved our eyebrows off!"

"Dom did that also"

"Or…." The other men covered the mans mouth and moved off for a discussion. The rest of the refugees were now watching this scene with smiles plastered across their faces.

The men turned back to Kel and Wolset, the corporal of Dom's squad said

"We wish to speak to Tobe."

Kel took one last bite of her breakfast, swallowed and put her dishes away, with Dom's squad in tow she left quickly for the stables.

Meanwhile Neal left in a different direction to see what had Kel on edge. Now finally realising Dom was the culprit of her gloomy behaviour.
