Thank you to my wonderful reviewers! You guys ROCK!
That night in the eating hall, Neal, his friends, all the squires, and pages where
eating. Lord Wyldon had just said the prayers, and it was getting late. Neal looked
nervously at the door, hoping Kel hadn't chickened out and wasn't coming. He sighed
and turned back to his food.
"What's wrong, Neal, you've been staring at that door for ages?" Cleon asked, Neal
looked at him, "Nothings wrong I was just expecting someone, but the person isn't
coming." He explained, just then the door to the hall opened and everyone in the
room, even the king and Lord Wyldon, turned to see who it was. It was a girl.
Everyone in the hall gasped, except for Neal, for two reasons.
One: She was a girl, and girls rarely came to the palace at that age, and they never
came into the hall, second: she was beautiful, her golden hair hang loose down her
back, but the front locks had been braided and tied behind her the back of her head,
forming a kind of crown. She was wearing a plain green dress, with long sleeves. But
what shocked most of them was the sword hanging by her waist. Girls never had
swords, but this one had. She stopped in front of the king and Lord Wyldon, and
bowed, not curtsied, to them, rather stiffly, Neal noticed, and the king nodded in
response.
"What's your business here." The king asked kindly.
"I'm student of the shang Griffin, she said I was to eat here, if it does not bother you
your highness." She replied, the king smiled and answered,
"You're welcome to eat with us, it is an honor." Kel bowed again, and went over to
get a tray and food. She turned around, and looked for a place to sit, and all arms
went up, motioning for her to sit with them. Neal looked around to see Cleon's,
Owen's, Merric's, Falaron's, Seaver's, Esmonds, and even Roald's hand up in the air.
The girl seemed to have spotted Neal, and walked over to them scowling. The other
boys quickly moved to make room for her, but she walked over and sat next to Neal.
"Did you see how they stared at me, goddess I'll never do that again!" Kel said(Neal is
the only one who knows she's Kel, the others have no idea)
"And It's all your fault Neal, all your fault!" She complained. The other boys were
staring at her, how did she know Neal, they were talking as if they had known each
other for years.
"Oh, but you looked so beautiful, don't blame them." Neal was saying.
"Shut up Neal. Next time I'll make you walk down the stairs in a dress, with everyone
staring at you like you were some goddess." She said. Cleon decided to join in, "Well,
Neal in a dress would be funny, but I don't think they would stare at him like was a
goddess." The others laughed, except Kel and Neal. Neal was scowling, but Kel looked
as if she had just noticed they weren't alone. Kel finally laughed, making Neal smile a
little.
"Well, Cleon, one fat chance you'd get Neal to wear a dress." She said, grinning. All
the boys stared at her again,
"How'd you know my name? Do I know you?" He asked. Kel frowned and stared at
her food. "You used to know me, you all used to know me. I guess Neal was wrong."
She looked at Neal, tears in her eyes, and stood up, "Nice to see you again, Cleon,
Merric, Owen, Seaver, Esmond, Falaron, and Roald. Good night." And with that she
left them staring after her, and walked out of the dining hall. Neal cursed, and the
boys came out of their trance. "How'd she know our names?" Owen asked, and Neal
cursed again.
"Wouldn't an old friend remember you? You just hurt her there, Cleon. You all did.
She was hoping you remembered her, but you just showed her how much you
remember and liked Kel." Neal scolded, and the boys stared at him.
"Did you say Kel?" Esmond asked. Neal nodded and the boys gasped,
"Are you saying that was Kel?" Seaver asked, and Neal nodded again.
"But we didn't recognize her, we remember Kel, we miss Kel." Merric complained,
"Well, that's not exactly what you just showed her, Merric." Neal replied. Cleon
banged his fist in the table, making the table shake. "Where'd she go?" He asked, all
the boys, even Neal, shrugged their shoulders.
"Well, we've gotta go find her, and explain it to her." Roald said, and they hurriedly
left the table, to go on Kel hunt.
So, what do you think?
Question: Should this be a Kel/Dom or Kel/Neal fic?
Please review.
