Chapter 4-A warning in a dream

AN 1: OK, so this would have been up a lot sooner, but fanfiction was being weird and not sending me my reviews…luckily I checked my stats of this story and saw 4 reviews had been sent.

AN 2: My first reviewer from chapter 3 was…(drumroll please) A Symphony of Sounds! This chapter is dedicated to you.

AN 3: Happy New Years! Welcome to year 2007!

Now, on with the chapter!

"We did it" Kaitlyn said collapsing on her bed late one night "It took near two months to do it, but we finally have the trust of Lady Kel and Lord Raoul"

In her mirror, Kaitlyn saw Burchard smiling "Good. How long until-"

"We are already halfway there" Kaitlyn said, "And don't openly say what we are up to, around here, the three of us are calling it 'the mission', and even that is barley said in public"

"Good to hear you three are being careful" Buchard said

"Master Buchard, I hate to cut us off, but it is late, and I need some rest"

"Of course, I understand" Buchard said

Kaitlyn broke the magical connection between the mirrors. She climbed into bed and was asleep in a matter of minutes.

Kaitlyn was walking through a field she didn't recognize, she saw a woman up ahead and ran to her.

"Mama!" Kaitlyn called. Her mother, in reality, had been dead for 25 years. She had died from pneumonia when Kaitlyn was 5 and Riley was 7. They lived with their father for the next 11 years until their father died, then Riley bought a small house and Kaitlyn moved in with him.

Kaitlyn reached her mother, and hugged her tightly, absorbing her mother's faint scent of crushed rose petals.

"Oh mama! I have missed you so much."

Her mother pulled away from her and looked at her solemnly

"You disappoint me Kaitlyn, you and your brother both" her mother's voice boomed in Kaitlyn's mind.

"Mama. What do you mean."

"Helping the likes of Stone Mountain! You know what you are plotting to do is wrong! The gods are furious with you and Riley, Dylan as well. The Black God is permitting me to warn you. Turn away from this mission, run away from Buchard. If you stay on this path, you will loose at least one thing you hold dear to the Realm of the Dead by the end of this year."

"Mama, what can I do? Master Buchard is paying me good money to do what he has asked of me. He has given me a fine mount and 150 gold nobles. Once the job is complete, I have been promised 300 gold nobles. Mama, a fine mount for keep and 450 gold nobles is not something I can turn away from."

"You would give up the life of your baby to have answers to financial troubles?"

"My baby? What baby?"

"The child you are carrying, yours and Dylan's baby."

"Dylan? Dylan and I are going to have a child?"

"Place your hand on your stomach" her mother instructed.

Kaitlyn did as she was told. She felt a light kick. Her eyes were wide when she looked at her mother.

"I must go now Kaitlyn, pay heed to my warning, I may not get another chance until it is too late."

"Mama! Wait! Mamma come back!"

Kaitlyn woke up, panting. She found herself in the small room Kel had given her. She could smell crushed rose petals, and when she looked at her feet, she saw a few petals lying on the ground. She was sweating and panting hard. Her hands flew to her stomach and felt a kick.

"Oh gods" Kaitlyn breathed

Anybody else feel that chill go down their spine when Kaitlyn's mom gave that warning? Maybe it was just me…oh well. I muxt admit, I don't like this chapter as much as others, but when authors say they don't like chapters, I usually love them...any of you feeling that way? Now to thank all my fabulous reviewers!

A Symphony of Sounds: I am glad you liked the chapter…hopefully you like this chapter as well and my future chapters to come. Thank you once again for submitting the first review. Kel and Dom stories are my favorite too! Even though the romance isn't the main part of the story,
